STAR CONFLICT: COMMUNITY EDITION TERMS OF USE

IMPORTANT NOTICE: On October 9, 2026, at 13:00 (UTC+3), Gaijin permanently discontinued the operation of the official servers for Star Conflict (the "Game"). The Game remains available in a community-operated format, subject to these Terms.

These Star Conflict: Community Edition Terms of Use ("Community Edition Terms") govern the use of the Game following the discontinuation of its official online services, including the operation and use of unofficial servers.

These Community Edition Terms supplement the Gaijin Terms of Service ("ToS") and End User License Agreement ("EULA"). Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the ToS or EULA, as applicable.
