Terms of Service
Last updated October 2026
OCE DOGS is an independent, fan-made Oceanic community hub. It is not affiliated with, endorsed, sponsored, or approved by BULKHEAD Interactive or Team17. All game names, logos, and trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
Welcome to OCE DOGS. By accessing or using the Site you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
01Eligibility & accounts
You are responsible for your account and for keeping your credentials secure. You must provide accurate information and are responsible for all activity under your account. One person, one account.
02Community conduct
- No harassment, hate speech, threats, doxxing, or targeted abuse.
- No cheating discussion that facilitates game exploits, malware, or account-stealing.
- No spam, scams, or unauthorised advertising.
- No illegal content or content you don't have the rights to post.
Moderators and admins may remove content, and warn, mute, or ban accounts that break these rules.
03Your content
You keep ownership of the content you post (posts, clips, screenshots, guides). By posting, you grant us a non-exclusive licence to display and distribute it within the Site for the purpose of running the community. Clips you submit via "Feature on Socials" are subject to the additional terms in Section 4.
04Clip submissions & social publishing
When you submit a clip through the "Feature on Socials" feature, you confirm that you own the video or have all rights needed to submit it, and you grant OCE DOGS a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, edit, format, publish, distribute and promote it — and its title, description and tags — on our website, our official YouTube, TikTok and Instagram channels, and other OCE DOGS-controlled promotional channels.
- We credit you as the uploader where reasonably practicable.
- You are not entitled to payment or revenue from our distribution or any monetisation of the clip.
- Submission does not guarantee publication; we may decline, remove, or stop promoting any clip at our discretion or where required by law.
- You must not submit footage containing other people's content, third-party music, or any material you do not have the rights to share.
You may request removal of a published clip at any time via the About / Contact page. Published clips also live on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram under those platforms' own terms.
05Third-party services
The Site integrates with Steam, Discord, Stripe, and (for clip publishing) YouTube/Google, TikTok and Instagram/Meta. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms — see Google's API Services User Data Policy, TikTok's Privacy Policy and Instagram's Privacy Policy. Steam progression is displayed read-only — we never alter your in-game data (see our Privacy Policy).
06Virtual items & Founder tier
Cosmetics, XP, career cash, loot drops, and the Founder tier are virtual items with no real-world monetary value and cannot be exchanged for cash. Founder purchases support the community and are generally non-refundable except where required by law.
07No affiliation / trademarks
OCE DOGS is an independent fan project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed, or sponsored by BULKHEAD Interactive or Team17. WARDOGS and related marks belong to their respective owners and are used here for identification and community purposes only.
08Disclaimer & liability
The Site is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential damages arising from your use of the Site. Server data, stats, and schedules may be inaccurate or change without notice.
09Termination
We may suspend or terminate access for violations of these Terms. You may stop using the Site and request account deletion at any time.
10Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Australia. Disputes will be handled in the appropriate courts of that jurisdiction.
