Q: Does StickyPiston claim any ownership rights in User Content created during the Map Jam event or have any rights to publish the user content on their services like trials without written permission from the creators?
A: We’ll never claim ownership of your creations, even if it’s produced through our Map Jam.

If you need any advice or support with your server throughout the jam were here to help.
