SQWARE GAMES PLATFORM STATEMENT

DATE: March 29, 2025

I. INTRODUCTION

This document constitutes the official position of SQWARE Games ("Company," "Platform," "we," "us," or "our") regarding the operational framework of its external player activity tracking and rewards program for Minecraft server participants and related contingency protocols. This statement is intended to provide transparency to users regarding operational procedures, compliance measures, and potential future developments.

II. PLATFORM OPERATIONAL FRAMEWORK

The SQWARE Games platform operates pursuant to the following principles:

1. External Activity Tracking System: The platform implements a strictly external statistics tracking system that monitors player achievements and activities. These statistics are processed entirely outside of the Minecraft client to calculate activity points based on quantifiable in-game actions, including but not limited to resource acquisition, structural development, and objective completion. No real-money transactions are required to participate in or benefit from this system, and no modifications are made to Minecraft software.
2. Separate Rewards Structure: All rewards distributed through the platform are financed exclusively through third-party revenue and strategic arrangements. Players can claim rewards on our external website based on their accumulated activity points, completely separate from their Minecraft gameplay experience. No user financial contributions are solicited or utilized for rewards or token distribution. This creates a complete separation between in-game activity and the external rewards program that distinguishes our model from practices prohibited by the Minecraft EULA.
3. Compliance Framework: The platform has been designed and implemented with strict adherence to Mojang's End User License Agreement ("EULA"), specifically avoiding any integration of blockchain technology or other modifications into the Minecraft client and implementing no mechanisms that would confer gameplay advantages in exchange for monetary consideration ("pay-to-win" structures). Our rewards system operates entirely as a post-gameplay, external recognition mechanism rather than as an in-game economy or modification, ensuring fundamental compliance with EULA provisions in both letter and spirit.
4. Ethical Implementation: SQWARE Games has carefully analyzed the distinction between prohibited practices and legitimate external activity recognition systems. Our platform respects Mojang's intellectual property rights and operates within established boundaries by maintaining complete separation between Minecraft gameplay mechanics and our external statistics tracking and rewards process. No gameplay advantages can be purchased, and no third-party technology is integrated into the Minecraft client or server software in ways that would violate the EULA.

III. CONTINGENCY PROTOCOLS

In the event that Mojang Studios implements server blacklisting measures against the SQWARE Games platform, despite our compliance efforts and commitment to operating within the EULA, the following contingency protocols shall be activated:

1. Authentication Alternative Implementation: The Platform shall transition server infrastructure to operate independent of Mojang's authentication gateway, utilizing offline mode functionality to maintain service continuity while continuing to respect Mojang's intellectual property rights.
2. Proprietary Verification System: Concurrent with authentication changes, the Platform shall implement a proprietary verification protocol to validate legitimate ownership of Minecraft software licenses, ensuring continued respect for intellectual property rights and preventing unauthorized access.
3. Service Continuity Guarantee: The aforementioned measures shall enable uninterrupted platform access for verified legitimate license holders while we work with Mojang to resolve any concerns or misunderstandings about our external rewards program.

IV. LEGAL POSITION STATEMENT

SQWARE Games maintains that its operational model is in compliance with all applicable terms of service and license agreements. Our external rewards program operates completely separate from the Minecraft client and server software, with no modifications to game code or integration of prohibited technologies. In the event of adverse action by Mojang Studios:

1. Legal Defense Preparation: The Platform has retained appropriate legal counsel and developed comprehensive strategies to address any restrictions that may be imposed without sufficient justification under the terms of the EULA, particularly regarding our external rewards system that operates separately from the Minecraft gameplay experience.
2. Rights Assertion: The Platform reserves the right to pursue appropriate legal remedies to protect its interests and the interests of its user community in maintaining access to the platform, while maintaining our respect for Mojang's intellectual property rights and the integrity of the Minecraft ecosystem.
3. Fair Interpretation Position: We maintain that external activity tracking and post-gameplay rewards that do not modify the Minecraft software or integrate prohibited technologies into the game client or server are consistent with both the letter and spirit of the EULA. Our system maintains the integrity of the Minecraft experience while offering players optional recognition for their achievements through entirely separate channels.

V. CONTINUED COMMITMENT

SQWARE Games affirms its unwavering commitment to maintaining a compliant, sustainable gaming experience that enhances user enjoyment through innovative external recognition mechanisms while respecting all applicable legal and contractual obligations. We further commit to ongoing dialogue with Mojang Studios and the broader Minecraft community to ensure our external rewards program remains in compliance with the EULA while providing value to players.
