Long story short: Although we take the greatest possible care at all times, in rare cases it can happen that game components are missing or of poor quality.

GUIDELINES FOR DEALING WITH INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OF CATAN GMBH AND CATAN STUDIO

NEKTAR games brand products enjoy global copyright and trademark protection. This overview of NEKTAR games intellectual property (“IP”) should address many of the questions you have about our copyrights, trademarks, etc.

NEKTAR GAMES D.O.O. COPYRIGHTS

Copyright protection applies to the original manifestation of an idea. Humans generally use text or artwork or music to express (i.e., manifest) an idea. Only this manifestation of an idea receives protection. You cannot copyright the idea itself. This is true even in the case of a patent, which affords protection to a novel method, formula, or process.

A copyright infringement arises when someone publishes text, art, music, etc. that substantively recreates copyrighted material. For example, you may be subject to an action for copyright infringement if you sell a product that contains text or artwork that is derived from NEKTAR games material.

NEKTAR GAMES D.O.O. TRADEMARKS

Trademark protection applies to the identification of goods and services in commerce. A trademark infringement usually arises when someone trades in commerce with a product or a service that is in whole or part identified with an existing mark. For instance, if you promote or sell a good because it contains—or is compatible with— NEKTAR games - Conquer Olympus or Osvoji Olimp (or any other product under the authorship of  NEKTAR games d.o.o.) material, you are trading upon our trademark. The same applies when you exploit the mark NEKTAR games to draw attention to your product, e.g., as part of a headline on a sales page on amazon.com or ebay.com.

IP STATEMENTS

NEKTAR games d.o.o. of Ulica Maksimiljana Držečnika 6, 2000 Maribor, Slovenia is the owner of this site/publication and NEKTAR games d.o.o. is the copyright holder of all material contained herein.

We respectfully ask that you respect these general notices regarding our intellectual property:

● Unless otherwise specified or dated earlier/later, all material contained herein is Copyright © 2024 of NEKTAR games d.o.o.. All rights reserved.● Unless otherwise specified, all trademarks contained herein are the property ofNEKTAR games d.o.o. . All rights reserved.

GENERAL IP PHILOSOPHY

NEKTAR games thrives because of its enthusiastic player community. Sometimes this enthusiasm inspires players to take part creatively in the world of NEKTAR games. We think that’s terrific. We’re thankful for the support we have received.

We are also glad to encourage this. But there are rules. While NEKTAR games will vigorously defend their IP ownership rights, we believe in the principle of "fair use."

Therefore, we encourage our consumers and trade customers to employ our IP freely for personal use. In some limited cases (e.g., magazine scenarios, art for charitable or organized play events, etc.), we may even encourage creation of "derivative works" (i.e., material based upon NEKTAR games intellectual property) or satire and/or commentary.

Derivative Works and Fair Use

Derivative works occasionally fall into the category of "fair use." This is the case if you craft a SINGLE handmade version of a game specifically for your own PERSONAL use. This is also the case with satire or commentary (e.g., review or analysis). Nonetheless, you cannot employ a trademark or heavily quote or recreate copyrighted material to an extent greater than that necessary to achieve this exceptional and legally "fair" purpose. We will not allow any changes to our graphic trademarks.

NEKTAR games Notice

Except in cases of legal “fair use,” you may not publish a derivative work based on our IP unless it is: (1) licensed or otherwise authorized by NEKTAR games and (2) its publication is accompanied by a valid permission notice in/by the credit notification stating: "Published with the permission of NEKTAR games."

No Dilution

You may not publish a derivative work that substantively reduces or otherwise dilutes the value of NEKTAR games IP. You may not sell said work. You may not give it away if it creates “dilution.” For instance, you dilute our IP when you create more than one handmade fair use copy for your own personal use.

No Manufacturing or Commercial Exploitation

Any unlicensed or unauthorized manufacturing of goods containing our IP, even for a good cause, constitutes IP infringement. Each and any direct (e.g., sale) or indirect (e.g., website that generates income via advertisement) commercial exploitation is not accepted.

Non-Harmful

You may not publish a derivative work based on our IP that is libelous, pornographic, or in other ways tortious or criminal in nature or involves patently or gratuitously racist, misogynistic, homophobic, militaristic, or violent content.

Quality Control

You may not publish a derivative work based on our IP that substantively deviates from the standards of quality associated with the product from which the work is derived.

Freeware

Freeware is still governed by intellectual property law. Freeware may be, or embody, derivative work. The fact that it is electronic in character but derived from a non-electronic source is not relevant. 

Protection of NEKTAR games Licensees

NEKTAR games protects our existing licensees. We stand behind them. Any infringement on their IP affects us and ultimately the CATAN brand.

Anti-Brand Jacking and Impersonation Clause

In order to protect the integrity of the "Conquer Olympus" brand and its associated intellectual property, the following restrictions apply to third-party use of our branded assets:

● Prohibition of Impersonation: No third party shall engage in or authorize any actions that could be reasonably interpreted as impersonating the "Conquer Olympus" brand. This includes, but is not limited to, the unauthorized use of our trademark, branding, or visual 
identity in a manner that could mislead, confuse, or deceive users, fans, or the public.
● Restrictions on Use of Branded Assets: Third parties may not use "Conquer Olympus" branded assets, including logos, designs, or any other intellectual property, in a way that suggests endorsement, partnership, or affiliation with "Conquer Olympus" without express written consent from Conquer Olympus.
● Cybersquatting and Social Media Identity: Third parties are prohibited from registering or using domain names, social media usernames, or any digital identities that mimic or are confusingly similar to "Conquer Olympus." This includes attempts to benefit from our brand's reputation by attracting internet traffic or followers through deceptive practices.
● Fan Creation Guidelines: To support community engagement while protecting our brand, fan-created content, websites, and social media groups must clearly disclose their unofficial status. Titles and descriptions must include designations such as "Fan Page," "Unofficial," or similar clarifications. This ensures transparency and prevents any potential confusion about the content's origin or affiliation with the official "Conquer Olympus" brand.
● Enforcement and Compliance: Conquer Olympus reserves the right to enforce these provisions vigorously, including but not limited to legal actions and demands for immediate cessation of any activity that infringes on the "Conquer Olympus" intellectual property or misleads the public regarding the brand's official engagements.

CONTACTING NEKTAR GAMES

Please contact us if you have questions about the use of our intellectual property (IP). It is especially important that you write us if you seek permission to use our IP outside the narrow confines of “fair use” (e.g., you want a license, however limited it might be).

Whatever the case, please email John Pinner, our NEKTAR games “ombudsman,” at john@conquerolympus.com. John will direct your query to the appropriate member of our team.
