Terms of use

The client is free

The jar you download is the entire client, and every module in it is switched on the first time you open the menu. Nothing about how the game plays is held back for a version that costs money: there is no paid tier of the client, and no module behind a payment.

The free client is provided as it is. There is no promise of a fix by a given date, of uninterrupted operation, or that a later version will exist. Questions are answered in Discord and Telegram.

Paradox Plus, the one thing that costs money

Plus is an optional pass on a Paradox account. It costs 250 ₽ for 30 days or 2,500 ₽ for 365 days when paid in Russian rubles via Robokassa. What it adds is cosmetic: all in-game cosmetics (capes, wings, hats and accessories), and the [+] prefix in front of your name, shown to friends. New cosmetics added later are included at no extra cost; without an active pass they can be tried on but not worn.

Plus adds nothing to how the game plays. It does not unlock a module, change any behaviour in a world or on a server, or give any advantage over somebody who has not bought it.

Acceptance. Paying for the plan you selected is how you accept this offer. The contract is formed when Robokassa confirms the payment, and the days are added to the Paradox account that started it.

Renewal and cancellation: that payment also agrees to later charges. At the end of the paid period the same plan renews automatically, at the price in effect at the time of the charge, until you turn auto-renewal off. You can turn it off on /plus/ before the next charge. Days already paid stay until they run out. Turning renewal off is not a refund request.

Delivery. The service is digital. Nothing is shipped and nothing extra is downloaded. The paid period is delivered when the days are added to the account, normally within seconds of confirmation. Section "Refunds" still applies. If the days never arrive, that payment has not been delivered.

Paying, and who handles the payment

Payments in Russian rubles (SBP, Mir cards, SberPay and T-Pay) are handled by Robokassa on their own hosted checkout page, with an official professional-income-tax receipt (NPD) issued automatically. Card numbers and bank credentials never reach this site or our servers - we are told only that an invoice succeeded, for which account and for which plan.

Prices are shown in Russian rubles (250 ₽ and 2,500 ₽) and are what we charge.

Refunds

Ask within 14 days of a purchase and it is refunded in full, without needing a reason. The days bought in that purchase are removed from the account at the same time - a refund and keeping the subscription are not both on offer.

Write to us at support@paradoxclient.com, or on Discord or Telegram with the Paradox account name and roughly when you bought it (or the receipt or invoice id, if you have it). Refunds are returned through the payment channel used for the purchase or by arrangement with you in support, and take as long as your bank or payment system takes - usually a few business days.

After 14 days a purchase is not refundable, because by then the thing bought has been delivered and used. Two exceptions we will always honour regardless of time: a payment you did not authorise, and days that never arrived on the account.

If an account is closed for breaking the rules below, unused days are not refunded.

You need to own Minecraft

Paradox Client is a mod for Minecraft: Java Edition. It ships no game files of its own - the game is downloaded from Mojang's endpoints at install time, and signing in with Microsoft needs an account that owns Minecraft: Java Edition. The launcher asks Mojang, and refuses without one.

An offline profile starts the game for singleplayer, a LAN game or a server running in offline mode. No online-mode server will accept it, and it is not a way around owning the game.

Your use of Minecraft itself is between you, Mojang and Microsoft, under their terms. Nothing on this page changes those, and nothing we ship gives you rights to their software.

Not affiliated with Mojang or Microsoft

If you find any page, video or download claiming that Mojang or Microsoft approved this, it is not from us and it is wrong.

What you may do with the jar

Use it on as many machines as you like, for as long as you like, and pass on the file exactly as we published it. What is asked in return is small and specific: do not sell it, do not repackage it under another name, and do not hand out modified builds that still call themselves Paradox. A broken build wearing our name costs us the only thing this project has, which is that the download is known to be safe.

Every release is published through the same manifest the launcher reads, and the hash on the front page is the one from that manifest. If a file's hash does not match, it did not come from us - check before you run it.

Servers have their own rules

Modified clients are disallowed on some servers. Which client you may run where is the server's decision, not ours, and following its rules is yours. If a server bans you, that is between you and that server - we cannot appeal it, undo it or vouch for you, and an account here is no defence there.

What closes an account

A Paradox account exists for friends, messages and cloud settings. It can be closed, and the reasons are these:

• Cheating on servers that forbid it, or using the client to grief people.
• Harassment, threats, or using friend invitations to spam or bait strangers.
• Attacking the service: brute-forcing sign-ins, hammering the API, trying to reach other people's data, or impersonating staff.
• Handing out modified builds under our name, or selling access to something that is free.

Direct messages are end-to-end encrypted and we cannot read them, so we do not moderate what is said in private messages - there is nothing there for us to look at. What we can act on is conduct visible at the account level and reports from the people involved.

A closed account loses its sessions immediately. If you think it was a mistake, say so in Discord; a person will read it.

No warranty

The client is provided as it is, with no warranty of any kind. It may crash, a release may be broken, a module may behave differently than the last version did, and the server behind friends, messages and cloud settings may be down when you want it.

Liability for the paid subscription is whatever the law allows in a contract with a consumer, and it is not cut down further than that. We are not liable for a ban issued by someone else's server, or for a world stored on your own machine. Keep backups of worlds you care about, the same as with any mod.

The service can change or stop

Features may be added, altered or removed, and the backend behind friends, messages and cloud settings may be taken down. The game itself does not depend on it: the client keeps working offline, with local settings, if the server is not there. Anything that would take a service away for good is announced first, in Telegram and Discord. If that takes away something an already paid Plus period still needs, the unused part of that period can be refunded.

Reaching us

The official channel for payments, refunds, complaints and account questions is support@paradoxclient.com. You can also reach us on Discord or Telegram. All three are read by the people who run the client, not by a support desk.

Changes to these terms

When this page changes, the date at the top changes with it, and the new text applies from that date. A change of price does not alter a period you have already paid for. The new price applies to the next automatic renewal, and you can turn renewal off before that charge if you do not accept it. Withdrawing the offer does not cut short a period that has already been paid.
