# UNITY EDITOR SOFTWARE ADDITIONAL TERMS
This repository contains current and prior versions of the legal terms that apply to your use of the Unity software currently known as Unity Pro, Unity Plus or Unity Personal. Note that the [first revision](../5a5b11e/Unity%20Software%20Additional%20Terms.md), dated June 28, 2016, is the first version of the legal terms to apply to the Unity software after Unity moved to a full subscription model.
We are republishing this GitHub repository, where you can find all current and prior versions of our Unity Editor Software Additional Terms (previously titled ‘Unity Software Additional Terms’) from June 28, 2016.
From time to time, Unity may update these software terms and other legal terms, and add the updated terms to this repository.
[Unity.com/legal](https://unity.com/legal) is the best place to find all of our latest agreements all in one place. Other agreements may be applicable to you depending on the products and services you’re using. When we update any of our agreements, we post a summary of the changes under the heading “What’s changed”, and include a link on each page to the immediately prior version of such terms.
The last changes were made on April 3, 2023. We are working to make sure that you can stay on the terms applicable for the version of Unity you are using as long as you keep using that version. More details to come. We will post these changes here and on [https://unity.com/legal](https://unity.com/legal).

Tier Eligibility is measured each date you use the Software for the most recent twelve (12) trailing month period. Immediately upon your Total Finances exceeding the Financial Threshold of the Software tier you are using, you must upgrade your Unity Plan. You may not (i) use Software tiers within different Financial Thresholds at the same time, (ii) have different Authorized Users or members of your Unity Organization use Software tiers within different Financial Thresholds at the same time, and/or (iii) combine or integrate any of your Projects developed with one tier of the Software with any of your Projects developed simultaneously with another tier.

* The Financial Threshold for Unity Plus is US $200,000 for the most recent twelve (12) month period. To be Tier Eligible to use Unity Plus, your Total Finances may not exceed US $200,000.

The scope and limitations of your right to access and use the Unity Editor Offerings are as follows:
The scope and limitations of your right to access and use the Unity Editor and Unity Runtime Offerings may depend on whether you are an Industry Customer and are as set forth in this Section 2. For clarity, the license grants in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 are primarily for creators creating first-party content (e.g., a game maker making their own games); if that’s not you, rather you’re a service provider, Platform, agency, reseller or otherwise, you may need a separate grant of rights from Unity and/or written authorization. Please reach out to your Unity salesperson for partnership opportunities.
2.1 Unity Editor and Unity Runtime

“Unity Runtime” means the runtime portion of the Software intended for distribution.
You may not distribute (within the Unity Package Manager, on Unity Forums or otherwise) User Modifications to enable access to, or optimize for, a Platform that is not a Unity Supported Platform without a separate grant of rights from Unity. You may create such User Modifications for your individual/own Project(s) for use by you and your Authorized Users.

You may not make available all or any part of the Unity Editor or its functionality, nor process data using the Unity Editor, in each case to or for End Users, other than to your Authorized Users, through any cloud, hosting, application services provider, service bureau, software-as-a-service (SaaS) or any other technology or service or otherwise), without a separate grant of rights from Unity.

5. Term.
Subscriptions for a Unity Plan (or any other Software distributed on a subscription basis) the Software will remain in effect for the initial subscription period, and thereafter such subscription will automatically renew in accordance with your original payment frequency and commitment period at the then-current list price for such plan, or as otherwise authorized by Unity, unless you select a different available renewal option (i.e., payment frequency and/or commitment period) in your account (for subscriptions purchased online), otherwise change or renew your subscription plan, or terminate and cancel it as described in the Terms prior to the end of your current subscription period. For clarity, subscriptions for the Software are not cancelable during the applicable subscription term and are non-refundable.

6. Modifications to these Software Terms and Long-Term Supported versions.
Without limiting the Terms, Unity may update these Software Terms at any time for any reason and without notice (the “Updated Terms”) and those Updated Terms will apply to the most recent current-year version of the Software, provided that, if the Updated Terms adversely impact your rights, you may elect to continue to use any current-year versions of the Unity Software (e.g., 2020.x and 2020.y and any Long Term Supported (LTS) versions for the Long Term Supported term as specified in the Offering Identification) according to the terms that applied just prior to the Updated Terms (the “Prior Terms”). The Updated Terms will then not apply to your use of those current-year versions unless and until you update to a subsequent year version of the Software (e.g. from 2020.3 to 2021.1). If material modifications are made to these Terms, Unity will endeavor to notify you of the modification. If a modification is required to comply with applicable law, the modification will apply notwithstanding this section.
