The licensee agrees to place the following notice in a legible format and a conspicuous location within two pages of the front cover and on any promotions soliciting crowdfunding or similar sites and materials: “This book references the Storypath Ultra System, available from Onyx Path Publishing at theonyxpath.com. Storypath, Storypath Ultra and all associated logos and trademarks are copyrights of Onyx Path Publishing. Used with permission. Onyx Path makes no representation or warranty as to the quality, viability, or suitability for the purpose of this product.”

Onyx Path Publishing reserves all intellectual property rights to Storypath Ultra, including, but not limited to, all copyrights, trademarks, hobby game, publishing, entertainment, licensing and merchandising rights. This license does not allow derivative works based on other Onyx Path products, lines, settings, or properties (such as At the Gates, Curseborne, Scion, Trinity Continuum, They Came From Beneath the Sea!, The World Below, etc). Nor does the license allow works based on licensed properties published by Onyx Path Publishing (such as Realms of Pugmire, Branch Riders, Exalted, or any other). Onyx Path Publishing and its licensing partners reserve all rights to their respective Intellectual Properties, including those used as examples or illustrations in the Storypath Ultra rule book, promotional material, or published works.

Onyx Path Publishing may, from time to time, share information marked CONFIDENTIAL with licensee. Confidential material may include game designs, rules, expansions, marketing, business policies or practices, release dates, and settings. Licensee agrees not to share, recite, post, or reveal such information outside of its development staff, until such time as Onyx Path Publishing expressly allows, it becomes publicly available, or in accordance with judicial or governmental order.
If either party employs attorneys to enforce any rights arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees.
