    ATLAS Will you make a covenant with Atlas? (Grapeshot User Agreement)

    ATLAS Will you make a covenant with Atlas? (Grapeshot User Agreement)


    Will you make a covenant with Atlas? (Grapeshot User Agreement)

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 10:21 AM PST

    Logged into Atlas this morning to check out the newest trading update, and this User Agreement from Grapeshot popped up:

    First impressions:

    1. It was amusing to see the word "covenants" in Section 4.
    2. This section seemed over-reaching and it's unclear what limitations this definition has: "1.10 "User Information" means any gamer names, logos, data, information, messages, text, works, material or other content that a User may upload, implement or other use as part of the User's use of the Game or any other activities that are associated with the Game."
    3. The user agreement was cut short; could not scroll down to see the rest of what I was signing.

      ( full readable section pasted below)
