Reading all of this is very important when using my stuff. Violating them will turn you into potential blacklist material.
My mods require hard work. Over time, I manage to create multiple vehicles for Need for Speed game, including, but not limited to, Russian vehicles and Japanese imports (sometimes even including European or American cars that weren't made for that game yet, but don't expect me to make a lesser known car featured in Asphalt 8 or (9) Legends (Unite)). By downloading my mods, you are agreed that:
- You are allowed to reupload my mods to your site without my permission (unless it's in the blacklist (see below), where in that case it is not allowed to reupload under any circumstances)
- By reuploading my mods, please keep the archive content as is and credit me when reuploading. Repackaging to remove or modify readme files and/or include tools that can be downloaded from original sources is not allowed under any circumstances.
- You are not allowed to modify or convert my mods without my permission.
- You are not allowed to create Addon-to-Replace using my mods as base under any circumstances.
- You are not allowed to use my mods in your mod packs without my permission.
- If the mod pack will be paid, you are not allowed to use my mods in them under any circumstances. All of my mods are meant to be free and made for non-commercial use.
- If you see my car in some mod pack (or even a car made exclusively for my or someone's mod pack), you are not allowed to take a model from it without my and the mod pack creator's permissions (unless the mod pack creator does not want anyone to take car models from their mod pack under any circumstances).
This applies to every vehicle I made, no matter when it was released.
Sites Blacklist
If the site appears in this list, I am not allowing anyone except myself to reupload my works to these sites under any circumstances. These sites (usually those based in developing countries, notably Russia, Turkey, and Brazil) are proven to be too shady and controversial to be reuploaded here.
- playground.ru¹ (reason: multiple people reupload others' works without asking first; based in Russia)
- modszone.net² (reason: notably violates rule 5 of Terms of Use; based in Brazil)
- nfs.gen.tr² (reason: well, people consider it as a shady site for reuploading anything without permission, so I'm listing it here as well; based in Turkey)
- nfsmods.ru² (reason: full violation of rule 2 of Terms of Use (does not credit the original author and repackages the archives, which is off limits); based in Russia)
- modfix.ru³ (reason: partial violation of rule 2 of Terms of Use (credited, but the archives were repackaged and readme files were modified, which is still off limits), based in Russia)
- newmods.org (reason: see modfix.ru (some later archives were reuploaded), where it is based is unknown)
¹Can be only uploaded there if the person who is uploading is either me (on Playground, I am known as Эмолга-Колян) or is on the whitelist
²Inactive site; they either load a list of unrelated sites or don't even load at all
³Even if the site still works as of today, it is considered dormant (as in barely, if even active)
Users Blacklist
Aside from shady sites, these people are also proven to be too untrustworthy, and as such, they are not allowed to do anything with my mods under any circumstances. If you happen to be one of these people, then hands off my mods.
- piman (reason: violation of rule 3 of Terms of Use; only allowed to reupload)
- GAMETEST (reason: used my mods in a paid mod pack, thus violating rule 6 of Terms of Use)
The Whitelist
These people (and/or group of people) are exceptions from the rules, and they are allowed to do anything with my mods and reupload them to the blacklisted sites (as long as the sites are marked with ¹).
