Software License Agreement

We are updating our End User License Agreement, Custom Content Agreement, and Software License Agreement. Notably we are consolidating these agreements into a single End User License Agreement to make it easier for users to understand our terms. We recommend you review the updated End User License Agreement that will take effect on October 10, 2024 for new users and on December 10, 2024 for existing users (who downloaded Onward prior to October 10, 2024).

By continuing to play ONWARD or use the ONWARD websites after December 10, 2024, you agree to the updated Terms of Service.
