DarqlineMP Client License Agreement

Version 1.0, effective 2026-11-07.

Before installing, the Official Launcher shows this agreement in full with its version and effective date and asks you to accept it. If you do not accept it, do not install or use the Client.

1. Definitions

• Client — the closed-source DarqlineMP component loaded into the Game (darqlinemp_client.dll and accompanying client files), including its updates, excluding Third-Party Components.
• Third-Party Components — software by other authors shipped with the Client, listed in the third-party notices included in every release.
• Official Launcher — the DarqlineMP launcher and installer obtained from the Official Source.
• Official Source — darqline.com and links published on it.
• Security Policy — the DarqlineMP security policy published on the Official Source.
• Game — SA DE for PC (SanAndreas.exe; the supported version is listed on darqline.com).
• Author — the developer of DarqlineMP and copyright holder of the Client, publishing under the pseudonym "darkstussy", reachable at contact@darqline.com.

2. Scope

This agreement covers only the Client. The Official Launcher, the server, the Lua SDK and the starter resources are distributed under their own open-source licenses stated in their repositories; this agreement does not restrict them. Third-Party Components are governed by their own licenses, which prevail over this agreement for those components.

3. License

The Author grants you a free, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Client, only together with a lawfully acquired copy of the Game, only as obtained from the Official Source and only through the Official Launcher, for the following purposes:

• playing on any DarqlineMP server;
• developing, testing and administering compatible servers, game modes and resources;
• good-faith security research within the scope and methods allowed by the Security Policy, provided that you report vulnerabilities privately to security@darqline.com and do not harm other players or servers.

All rights not expressly granted in this agreement are reserved by the Author.

4. Restrictions

Except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits it despite this section (including rights to observe, study, test and achieve interoperability), or the Security Policy allows it for security research, you may not:

• distribute the Client or any part of it in any way other than by linking to the Official Source;
• load the Client with unofficial launchers, injectors or builds;
• modify, patch, decompile or disassemble the Client;
• use the Client together with cheats or modifications that give an unfair advantage, or circumvent the protective checks of the Client or of servers;
• sell, sublicense, redistribute or bundle the Client, or charge for access to or installation of the Client.

Operating or monetizing an independently hosted DarqlineMP server does not by itself constitute commercial use of the Client.

5. The Game and its rights holders

• DarqlineMP does not distribute or modify Game files. A lawful copy of the Game is required.
• DarqlineMP is an independent non-commercial project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or supported by the rights holders of the Game. All trademarks belong to their owners.
• When using the Client, you also remain bound by the terms of use of the Game.

6. Personal data

How DarqlineMP processes personal data is described in the Privacy Notice, which the Official Launcher shows before installation. Servers run by third parties are operated by independent controllers of the data they process, under their own terms and privacy notices.

7. Third-party servers and content

Servers, game modes and resources made or run by third parties are operated independently and may have their own rules and privacy notices.

8. Updates

The Official Launcher updates the Client automatically. An update that comes with a new version of this agreement is installed only after you accept that version (§13). Connecting to a server may require the current version.

9. Third-party components

The Client distribution includes Third-Party Components (including Chromium Embedded Framework, Dear ImGui and MinHook), licensed by their authors under their own licenses. Their license texts and notices are included in every release.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Client is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of operability, compatibility and fitness for a particular purpose. The Client may contain errors, may cause the Game to crash and may stop working after a Game update.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Author is not liable for damages arising from the use of or inability to use the Client, including data loss, Game or system crashes and actions of third parties. Nothing in this agreement excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, for intentional misconduct or gross negligence, or under mandatory product liability law.

12. Termination

• This agreement remains in effect while you use the Client.
• It terminates automatically if you materially breach its terms; in that case, delete the Client.
• You may terminate it at any time by deleting the Client.
• The Author may stop developing and distributing the Client at any time. This does not end your license to use a version you already installed, although servers may require a newer version.

13. Changes to this agreement

• A new version is published on the Official Source with its effective date and a summary of changes, and every version stays available there.
• The Official Launcher shows every new version before it takes effect for you, and it takes effect only after you accept it in the Official Launcher.
• If you do not accept a new version, stop using the Client and delete it.

14. Your statutory rights and severability

• Nothing in this agreement limits the rights you have under the mandatory provisions of applicable law, including consumer protection law.
• If any provision of this agreement is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in full effect.
