# Mod Guidelines and FAQs

We’re proud of the creativity and dedication of the modding community across **Steam Workshop**, **mod.io**, and our partnered platforms like **Tebex**. This guide outlines how to respect mod creators’ rights while monetizing your Space Engineers server or content.

***

### **Content Use Guidelines**

Respecting modders means respecting their rights:

* **Do not reuse, copy, or distribute** another creator’s work — on Steam, mod.io, Tebex, or elsewhere — **without explicit permission.**
* You must **not sell or offer** content you did not create unless the original author has granted permission.
* Modders **have the right** to request the removal of their content from your webstore.

> 💡 If you’re unsure whether you can use something in your store, always ask the original author.

***

### **Banned Items – What You Cannot Sell**

You **may not sell** the following through your Tebex webstore:

* Physical products (anything requiring shipping)
* Client-side mods or plugins that provide **unfair gameplay advantages**
* Anything exchangeable for **real-world currency** (fiat)
* Any form of **gambling** (e.g., loot boxes, skin gambling, random cash prizes)

***

### **Violating These Guidelines**

If your webstore violates any of the above rules:

1. Your store will be **taken offline**.
2. You will receive a **notice of violation** with instructions to resolve it.
3. Your store can only be reopened after all violations are addressed.

> ⚠️ Repeated violations may result in a **permanent ban** from the Tebex platform.

***

### **Reporting Violations**

If you believe a webstore is using someone else's content without permission, you can report it in the following ways:

* Contact a **moderation team member** via our [official Discord](https://discord.gg/KeenSWH)
* Email us: <Support@keenswh.com>
* Use our [support portal](https://support.keenswh.com)

### **Frequently Asked Questions**

> Still have questions? Contact Keen Software House at <Support@keenswh.com>

**Q: Can I make my server “pay-to-win”?**\
**A:** Yes — but be mindful of the Minecraft EULA, modding community standards, and your players. Abuse of this model may damage trust or lead to moderation if guidelines are violated.

**Q: Does the Tebex integration work on all servers?**\
**A:** Currently, it supports **Steam-based Space Engineers servers only**. Support for other platforms may come later.

**Q: Can I sell access to my server?**\
**A:** Yes. You can configure packages that offer **VIP slots, whitelist access**, or **priority joining**.

**Q: Can I sell perks like Discord roles or in-game ranks?**\
**A:** Yes, as long as the reward is clearly defined and doesn't breach other guidelines.

**Q: Can I sell loot boxes or randomized rewards?**\
**A:** No. All products sold through Tebex must be **clearly labeled and deterministic**. Players must know exactly what they’re buying.

**Q: I’m a modder. Can I sell paid modding services on Tebex?**\
**A:** Not at this time. Tebex is intended for **in-game monetization** linked to gameplay services — not freelance development.
