Buzzta Plugins – Plugin License Terms
Version: 14 August 2026
1. Scope and relationship with the GTC
1.1 These Plugin License Terms apply to software plugins supplied by Christian Reimers, trading as “Buzzta Plugins” (“Licensor”).
1.2 These Plugin License Terms supplement the Licensor’s General Terms and Conditions (“GTC”). The GTC remain applicable to the conclusion of the contract, payment, delivery, statutory rights, liability, cancellation rights and applicable law.
1.3 In the event of a conflict concerning the permitted use of a Plugin, these Plugin License Terms shall take precedence over Section 6.1 of the GTC. In all other respects, the GTC shall remain unaffected.
1.4 These Plugin License Terms must be made available to the Licensee before the order is submitted.
2. Definitions
2.1 “Plugin” means the software, source code, compiled files, configuration files, documentation and other digital components supplied under the respective product description.
2.2 “Licensee” means the natural person, legal entity or business that purchased the Plugin directly from the Licensor.
2.3 “Own Server” means a Rust game server that is operated by, controlled by or operated exclusively on behalf of the Licensee.
2.4 A server operated independently for another person or business is not considered an Own Server of the Licensee.
3. Ownership and intellectual property
3.1 The Plugin is licensed, not sold. All intellectual property rights in the Plugin remain with the Licensor or the respective third-party rights holder.
3.2 The Licensee receives only the rights of use expressly granted under these Plugin License Terms.
3.3 Purchasing a license does not transfer ownership of the Plugin, its source code or any associated intellectual property rights to the Licensee.
4. Grant of license
4.1 Subject to full payment of the applicable license fee, the Licensor grants the Licensee a non-exclusive right to install, run and use the Plugin on an unlimited number of the Licensee’s Own Servers.
4.2 The license includes production, test, development and staging servers belonging to or operated exclusively for the Licensee.
4.3 The license is granted to the purchasing Licensee. It may not be shared between independent persons, businesses, server owners or customer accounts.
4.4 The license is granted for an indefinite period, subject to termination in accordance with these Plugin License Terms.
5. Commercial server use
5.1 The Licensee may use the Plugin on free or commercially operated Own Servers.
5.2 Permitted commercial server activities include, in particular, donations, memberships, VIP packages, sponsorships, advertising and the sale of virtual benefits, provided that such activities comply with applicable law and the rules of the relevant game and platform operators.
5.3 Commercial use of an Own Server does not permit the Licensee to sell, rent, sublicense, distribute or otherwise commercially exploit the Plugin itself.
6. Modification of the Plugin
6.1 The Licensee may modify the Plugin and its source code solely for use on the Licensee’s Own Servers.
6.2 Modified versions remain subject to these Plugin License Terms.
6.3 The Licensee may not publish, sell, sublicense, share or otherwise distribute an original or modified version of the Plugin.
6.4 The Licensee acquires no ownership rights in the original Plugin through modifications. Rights in independently created additions remain governed by applicable law, without limiting the Licensor’s rights in the original Plugin.
6.5 User-facing branding, messages or references to Buzzta Plugins may be changed or removed by the Licensee. Copyright and license notices contained within the source code or accompanying license files must not be removed or misrepresented.
7. External developers and administrators
7.1 The Licensee may provide the Plugin to an external developer, administrator or service provider only where access is necessary to install, configure, maintain or modify the Plugin for the Licensee’s Own Servers.
7.2 The Licensee must ensure that the external person:
- uses the Plugin exclusively for the Licensee;
- does not retain or reuse it for another customer or project;
- does not publish, sell or distribute it; and
- deletes all copies when access is no longer required.
7.3 The Licensee remains responsible for compliance with these Plugin License Terms by persons to whom the Licensee provides access.
7.4 An external developer or administrator does not receive an independent license through such access.
8. Prohibited use
Unless permitted by mandatory law or expressly authorised by the Licensor, the Licensee may not:
- provide the Plugin to another server owner or independent third party;
- publish or upload the Plugin or its source code to a public or private repository intended for third-party access;
- sell, rent, sublicense, lease or redistribute the Plugin;
- include the Plugin in a plugin bundle, hosting package or other product supplied to third parties;
- use one purchase for multiple independent persons or legal entities;
- make the Plugin available as a download;
- falsely claim authorship of the original Plugin;
- circumvent technical protection or licensing measures; or
- use the Plugin for unlawful purposes.
9. Backup copies
The Licensee may create and retain a reasonable number of backup and archival copies where necessary for the continued permitted use of the Plugin. Backup copies remain subject to these Plugin License Terms and may not be supplied to third parties.
10. License transfer
10.1 The license is personal to the purchasing Licensee and may not be transferred to another person or legal entity without the Licensor’s prior consent.
10.2 If mandatory law permits a transfer notwithstanding Section 10.1, the Licensee must discontinue all use, remove the Plugin from all servers and devices under the Licensee’s control, delete all remaining copies and transfer the Plugin only in its entirety.
10.3 A change of hosting provider, IP address, hardware or server location does not constitute a license transfer as long as the server remains an Own Server of the same Licensee.
11. Updates
11.1 The Licensee is entitled, without an additional license fee, to all updates that the Licensor releases for the purchased Plugin as the same product.
11.2 The right to receive released updates is not limited to a fixed subscription period.
11.3 This does not create an obligation for the Licensor to develop or release updates indefinitely, to add specific features or to continue a discontinued Plugin, except where required by mandatory law.
11.4 A separately developed successor product, substantially new product or separately offered edition is not considered an update unless the Licensor expressly states otherwise.
11.5 The Licensee is responsible for installing provided updates within a reasonable period, particularly where an update corrects security, compatibility or functional issues.
12. Support
12.1 Support is provided only to the extent stated in the applicable product description or in a separate support offer.
12.2 The indefinite license and update entitlement do not constitute a guaranteed response time, availability commitment or individual development service.
12.3 Support may be refused for issues caused solely by unauthorised distribution, unsupported third-party modifications or environments that do not meet the published technical requirements.
13. Compatibility and third-party changes
13.1 The required software environment and known compatibility requirements are described in the applicable product description.
13.2 Rust, Facepunch Studios, Oxide/uMod, Carbon and other third-party software may be changed or discontinued independently of the Licensor.
13.3 The Licensor does not promise permanent compatibility with every future version or modification of third-party software. This does not affect statutory obligations to provide conformity updates or statutory rights relating to defects.
13.4 The Licensee should create backups before installing updates to the Plugin, the game server or third-party dependencies.
14. Technical license verification
14.1 The Licensor may use a technical license or activation system only where its operation and any material usage requirements have been disclosed to the Licensee.
14.2 Where such a system processes personal data or identifiable server data, the relevant categories of data, purposes, legal basis, recipients and storage periods must be described in the applicable privacy information.
14.3 These Plugin License Terms do not by themselves constitute consent to undisclosed collection or transmission of personal or server data.
14.4 A subsequently introduced verification system may not materially deprive an existing Licensee of the indefinite use already granted unless this is permitted by the contract and applicable law or separately agreed with the Licensee.
15. Third-party components
15.1 A Plugin may contain or depend on third-party software components.
15.2 Where a third-party component is supplied under its own license, that license applies to the respective component. The relevant notices or license files form part of the supplied content.
15.3 These Plugin License Terms do not grant rights in Rust, Facepunch Studios, Oxide/uMod, Carbon or other third-party products.
16. Termination for license violations
16.1 The Licensor may terminate the license for a material violation of these Plugin License Terms if the Licensee fails to remedy the violation within a reasonable period after receiving notice.
16.2 No prior remedy period is required where the violation is intentional, cannot reasonably be remedied or consists of unauthorised publication, resale or systematic distribution of the Plugin.
16.3 Upon effective termination, the Licensee must stop using the Plugin and delete all copies under the Licensee’s control, except for copies that must be retained by law.
16.4 Termination does not affect statutory claims or rights that arose before termination.
16.5 Statutory cancellation rights, rights relating to defects and other mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.
17. Mandatory statutory rights
17.1 Nothing in these Plugin License Terms excludes rights that cannot legally be excluded or restricted.
17.2 In particular, statutory rights concerning necessary backup copies, observation or testing of a computer program and decompilation required for interoperability remain unaffected to the extent provided by applicable law.
18. Liability and defects
Statutory rights relating to defects and the Licensor’s liability are governed by the GTC and applicable law. These Plugin License Terms do not create an additional exclusion or limitation of liability.
19. Final provisions
19.1 The applicable law and dispute resolution provisions are governed by the GTC.
19.2 Individual agreements expressly concluded between the Licensor and the Licensee take precedence over these Plugin License Terms.
