KZO LLC and Project 84 Last Updated: June 5, 2026 Contact: [email protected]
This policy describes how Project 84 protects Micro Mini Golf intellectual property. Micro Mini Golf is proprietary, closed-source software. All rights are reserved unless expressly granted in the User Agreement and Terms of Use. This policy should be read together with the EULA and Privacy Policy.
1. Protected Project 84 Materials
Project 84 protects its original materials under copyright, trademark, trade secret, contract, unfair competition, and other applicable laws. Protected materials include, to the extent original to Project 84:
Game source code, object code, scripts, tools, builds, and configuration files.
Server-side logic, backend systems hosted on our servers, APIs, database schemas, administrative interfaces, and the management console.
Original artwork, golf ball designs, course designs, maps, textures, icons, animations, UI elements, effects, promotional art, and branding.
Original music, sound effects, voice, audio design, and related files.
Game design documents, balancing information, monetization design, analytics configurations, moderation tools, security processes, and non-public business information.
Project 84 names, logos, product names, slogans, trade dress, and other source identifiers used in commerce.
2. Ownership Limitations and Third-Party Rights
Project 84 claims ownership only of its original contributions and licensed materials. KZO LLC and Project 84 do not claim ownership of third-party trademarks, university names, school names, mascots, logos, military insignias, government seals, public agency marks, or other third-party intellectual property. If third-party content is used, Project 84 should maintain written licenses, permissions, or legal review records.
3. Copyright Controls
Copyright protection should be supported by development records, Git history, source asset files, invoices, contractor assignments, and versioned releases. For major releases, Project 84 should consider copyright registration for source code deposits, visual art collections, audio collections, and marketing materials. Registration can strengthen enforcement options if copying occurs.
4. Trademark Controls
Project 84 should conduct clearance before relying on Micro Mini Golf, Project 84, logos, slogans, or other brand identifiers. If the brand will be used commercially, Project 84 should consider state and federal trademark registration. Trademark use should be consistent across the app, website, App Store listing, social media, and marketing materials.
5. Trade Secret Controls
Non-public backend code, management console functions, admin credentials, moderation tools, analytics configurations, server architecture, API keys, security rules, build processes, private roadmaps, and business strategies should be treated as confidential trade secrets. Access should be limited by role, protected by MFA where feasible, logged, and revoked when no longer needed.
6. Prohibited Uses
Copying, cloning, distributing, or selling Project 84 code or assets.
Extracting, ripping, scraping, datamining, recording, or exporting art, audio, levels, golf ball designs, course designs, UI elements, or data.
Reverse engineering, decompiling, disassembling, modifying, or bypassing the Game, APIs, backend, or management tools.
Recreating confusingly similar games, courses, golf ball designs, branding, or interface layouts for commercial use.
Using Project 84 trademarks, logos, or trade dress without permission.
Attacking, scanning, probing, bypassing, or misusing security measures on our servers, backend services, APIs, or admin systems.
7. Dataset and Scraping Restrictions
Project 84 content may not be scraped, harvested, bulk-collected, or used to build unauthorized datasets or derivative data products without written permission. This restriction applies to source code, art, screenshots, video captures, audio, chat data, game telemetry, course layouts, golf ball designs, and documentation.
8. User-Created Content and Community Content
If users submit usernames, chat, reports, course-related content, customizations, or other content, Project 84 should define user rights and moderation rights in the Terms. User content should not be allowed to infringe third-party rights, impersonate others, include prohibited marks, or violate safety rules. Project 84 should preserve the right to remove or disable content at any time.
9. Enforcement Process
Identify the allegedly copied material and preserve evidence, including screenshots, URLs, file hashes, dates, app listings, videos, repositories, marketplace pages, and communications.
Confirm whether the copied material is original to Project 84, licensed to Project 84, or owned by a third party.
Review contracts, assignments, source files, Git history, and registration records.
Choose the enforcement path: informal notice, platform complaint, DMCA notice, cease-and-desist letter, marketplace takedown, app store complaint, domain host complaint, or legal action.
Avoid claiming ownership over third-party marks or content that KZO LLC and Project 84 do not own.
Keep a record of all notices, responses, takedowns, reinstatements, counter-notices, and resolutions.
10. Infringement Reporting Procedure
Infringement reports may be sent to [email protected]. A complete report should include the reporting party name, contact information, identification of the work claimed to be infringed, identification of the allegedly infringing material, supporting evidence, a good-faith statement, and a statement that the report is accurate. KZO LLC and Project 84 may request additional information before taking action.
11. Specific Content Risk Review
12. App Store and Platform Complaints
Project 84 should be prepared to respond to App Store, platform, or rights-holder complaints with documentation showing ownership, licenses, permissions, or redesign decisions. Because legal documents do not authorize use of third-party marks, high-risk content should be cleared or replaced before launch.
13. Public Copyright Notice
Recommended notice: © 2026 Project 84. All Rights Reserved. Micro Mini Golf is proprietary software and is not open source. Project 84, Micro Mini Golf, and all original source code, object code, backend systems, APIs, management tools, databases, artwork, golf ball designs, course designs, maps, graphics, audio, user interface elements, and branding are protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. Unauthorized copying, reproduction, reverse engineering, asset extraction, redistribution, modification, commercialization, or creation of derivative works is prohibited.
14. Review Schedule
Project 84 should review this policy before each major release, before adding new monetization features, before adding user-generated content, before expanding internationally, and before adding any third-party branded content. Legal review is recommended before public launch.
