Terms of Service

1. The service

These terms describe the permitted use of Coastal Client, its website, and its optional account, membership and cosmetic services.

Coastal Client is an independent utility client for Minecraft Bedrock on Windows. Minecraft, a valid game license and supported game installation are required separately. Coastal is not a Mojang or Microsoft product and is not endorsed by either company. Contact the Coastal team through support for service, billing or account questions.

2. Eligibility and accounts

Account and purchase services are intended for users aged 13 or older. If you are below the age of legal adulthood where you live, a parent or guardian must approve purchases and any agreement you cannot legally make on your own. Follow the minimum-age and account rules of Discord, Microsoft and payment providers as applicable.

Use accurate account information, protect your sign-in access and report suspected account compromise. Purchases and entitlements are associated with the account used at checkout; signing in to a different account may not show them. Do not share authentication tokens or impersonate another user.

3. Software license and acceptable use

Subject to applicable law and these terms, you may install and use Coastal for personal gameplay. This permission does not transfer ownership of Coastal software, branding or cosmetic artwork. Third-party and open-source components remain subject to their own licenses.

Do not use the service to distribute malware, steal credentials, bypass payment authorization, abuse backend systems, defraud other users, infringe another person’s rights or interfere with service availability. Nothing here limits rights that applicable law or an applicable open-source license gives you, including permitted interoperability, research or fair use.

4. Server rules and game compatibility

Servers set their own rules for client utilities. You are responsible for checking which features a server permits. A “Legit” label is not a guarantee that a feature is allowed on every server or that no moderation action can occur.

Early-access build 0.30.1 targets Minecraft Bedrock 26.63 on Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. Game updates, resource packs, graphics drivers and other software can affect compatibility. Back up worlds and important settings. We do not promise unlimited frame rates, compatibility with every game build, or uninterrupted operation.

5. Cosmetics and digital purchases

The product and price displayed before payment describe what you are purchasing. Prices are shown in USD unless checkout states otherwise; applicable taxes are disclosed by checkout. A separately purchased cosmetic provides account-based access to use that item through Coastal, rather than ownership of the underlying image copyright. Do not redistribute paid artwork or sell access to another person’s account.

Client-side cosmetics may be visible only through compatible Coastal rendering and are not a promise of visibility to every Minecraft player. Installation or reloading may be required for a change to appear. Refunds, chargebacks or verified payment reversals can remove the related access. A preview, unpaid checkout or local file is not proof of ownership.

6. Memberships, renewal and cancellation

Where a membership is offered, checkout identifies the plan, billing period, amount and renewal terms before you authorize payment. A monthly or yearly plan renews on its stated interval until canceled. A yearly amount is billed as the yearly amount shown at checkout, not as a monthly installment unless explicitly stated.

Use Store → Manage membership in Coastal to open billing management, or contact support if you cannot access the account. Cancellation stops future renewal; access generally continues until the end of the paid period shown in billing, unless a refund or other required adjustment applies. Subscription-included cosmetics are available while the qualifying subscription is active. Separately purchased items are distinct from subscription access.

We will not treat these general terms as permission to charge a new amount or add a new recurring plan without the disclosure or authorization required by law.

7. Billing problems and refunds

Contact support promptly with the product name, account identifier and payment receipt or order reference if delivery fails, a charge is incorrect or you wish to request a refund. Never send full card details. Requests are reviewed in light of the transaction, delivery status and applicable consumer law. We do not exclude mandatory refund, cancellation, warranty or withdrawal rights that apply where you live.

The CoastalMC server-credit shop is a separate catalog. Server-credit purchases do not automatically purchase client cosmetics or memberships, and client purchases do not automatically grant server credits.

8. Updates, service changes and suspension

Coastal may offer updates to maintain compatibility, fix defects and improve security. The client checks for updates and asks you to approve installation. Update-signature verification and a Windows publisher signature are different mechanisms; the current installer may display an unknown-publisher warning.

We may restrict an account or service access to address fraud, security incidents, abuse or legal obligations. Contact support if you believe a restriction is mistaken. Changes to a product or service remain subject to applicable consumer rights and any specific promises made at purchase.

9. Responsibility and legal rights

Use reasonable care with early-access software and keep backups. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Coastal does not provide a guarantee that the software will meet every personal requirement, work with every third-party modification, or remain available without errors.

These terms do not waive rights that cannot lawfully be waived, exclude responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded, or impose a fabricated court venue, arbitration agreement or class-action waiver. Applicable law determines any mandatory protections and remedies.

10. Privacy, copyright and changes

The Privacy Policy describes information handling. The Copyright Policy explains asset ownership, third-party rights and how to report an infringement concern.

We may revise these terms as Coastal changes. Material changes to paid services remain subject to applicable notice and consent requirements. The effective date below identifies this version. If you have questions about a change, contact support before making a purchase.
