Terms & Conditions

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Univerce platform, website, or early access program, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use Univerce. “Univerce” refers to the social world builder application, the website at univerce.com, and all related services operated by Univerce, Inc.

2. Description of Service

Univerce is a real-time multiplayer world builder powered by Unreal Engine 5.7 with Nanite and Lumen rendering. The platform enables users to create museum-like 3D spaces, curate rooms with artworks, videos, and 3D assets, customize surfaces with materials, create cinematic camera tours, and collaborate with others in real time. The service includes asset placement, material customization, cinematography tools, multiplayer session management, and a command history system with undo/redo.

3. Early Access Program

The Univerce early access program provides pre-release access to the platform. By participating:

• You acknowledge the platform is under active development and may contain bugs, incomplete features, or performance issues
• Core systems (Asset System, Material System, Cinematography Suite) are available; Multiplayer Foundation is currently in development
• Features, interfaces, and saved data formats may change between updates
• We may reset, modify, or delete early access data as needed during the development period
• Early access is provided free of charge; pricing for the general release will be announced separately

4. User Accounts

You must provide accurate information when creating an account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. You must not share your account or allow others to access it. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

5. User-Generated Content

You retain ownership of content you create within Univerce, including room layouts, asset arrangements, material configurations, camera tracks, and collections. By using Univerce, you grant us a license to:

• Store your content on our servers for save/load functionality and persistence
• Replicate your content to other users during multiplayer sessions you initiate or join
• Generate thumbnails of your content for inventory and sharing interfaces
• Process your content through the command history system for undo/redo functionality

This license is limited to operating the Univerce platform and does not transfer ownership of your content.

6. External Media

You may import images, video, and audio into Univerce for use on artboards, media boards, and decals. You represent that you have the right to use any media you import. Imported media is stored on Supabase with permission tiers and signed URL access. You are responsible for ensuring your imported media does not infringe on third-party intellectual property rights.

7. Multiplayer Conduct

When participating in multiplayer sessions, you agree to:

• Respect other users' creative work and not intentionally destroy or deface their content
• Follow the room owner's rules — room owners have moderator overrides to revert guest actions
• Not exploit the command history system, replication layer, or asset ownership transfers to disrupt sessions
• Not attempt to circumvent server-authoritative validation on placement, deletion, or ownership operations

8. Intellectual Property

Univerce, including its software, UI components, design, documentation, and branding, is the property of Univerce, Inc. The platform is built on Unreal Engine 5.7 and uses Epic Games' technology under license. Content assets included in the default library (furniture, materials, avatars, textures) are licensed for use within the Univerce platform and may not be extracted or redistributed outside of it.
