Ownership, reuse, attribution and a practical route for resolving concerns about project material.
What this notice covers
This page addresses written guides, software, interface design, illustrations and other material presented in Slipstream. Different elements may be subject to different ownership and licence arrangements. It is not a claim that every name, fact, idea, generated image or third-party component belongs to the project.
Project-created material
Human-authored project code, text and artwork may attract copyright or other protection where applicable legal requirements are met. Rights remain with their respective holders unless transferred or licensed. The footer’s contributor credit is not a warranty that every element is exclusively owned by one person.
Third-party names, marks and identity
Names of teams, drivers, circuits, manufacturers, competitions and organisations can engage rights separate from copyright. Identifying those parties in a game does not itself establish permission, endorsement or a right to use logos, distinctive branding or likenesses. See Trade marks & likenesses for the project’s notice and reporting route.
Software and font licences
Third-party packages and fonts remain subject to their own licences and notices. Any permission those licences grant comes from the relevant licence, not from this page. Preserve required notices and check the actual licence version before redistributing a dependency or a modified build.
AI-assisted and generated assets
The Credits page identifies AI-generated decorative artwork, including the logo and footer scene. Generation is not represented as a legal clearance search, proof of originality or a guarantee against similarity to protected material. The availability and scope of protection for generated material depend on the relevant law and contribution. Rights concerns about these assets can be reported in the same way as other material.
Playing versus republishing
Accessing the game for personal play does not by itself grant a licence to extract, sell, repackage or redistribute project assets. This notice also does not remove reuse rights granted by law or an applicable licence. Do not imply that a redistributed asset, video, website or product is official or approved merely because it depicts the game.
Screenshots, videos and attribution
If you plan to publish gameplay footage or screenshots, consider the rights in all material shown and obtain any permission your intended use requires. Credit alone does not replace permission. This page does not grant a blanket commercial media licence or promise that another rights holder will permit a particular use.
Requesting permission
Email contact@slipstream.games with the exact page or asset, a description of the intended use, the audience, distribution method, whether the use is commercial and any requested changes. The maintainer can only authorise rights they actually control. Silence, receipt of an enquiry or an informal acknowledgement is not permission.
Exceptions and legal rights
Nothing in this notice is intended to remove a statutory exception, public-domain status or another permission that genuinely applies. Whether a particular use qualifies depends on the facts and applicable law. Fan-made status, lack of profit, a disclaimer or attribution is not treated here as an automatic exemption.
Reporting suspected infringement
Use contact@slipstream.games and identify the protected work, the exact material and URL complained of, your relationship to the rights holder and a way to contact you. Explain the concern and requested action. The dedicated Copyright complaints & takedown page provides a fuller notice checklist and explains the limits of that process.
Corrections, restrictions and removals
Depending on the issue, a response may involve clarifying a credit, replacing an asset, restricting access or removing material while the matter is assessed. Removal or review is not a determination of ownership, infringement or the merits of a claim. A request for credit alone should not be interpreted as a demand for removal unless that is what you intend.
Current publication status
Slipstream is run by an independent developer based in the UK, and the project contact is contact@slipstream.games. Asset sources and licence records are kept with the project. This notice explains the project’s position; it does not create permissions that do not otherwise exist.
