GAME RIGHTS:
© The Star Trek Universe is a registered trademark of Paramount Pictures. All Rights Reserved.

We are a non-profit group and we use the Star Trek universe only as a base for our game. We believe in the copyright laws of the United States and believe our endeavors are a nod to the creative and spectacular work of the producers and related individuals of the Star Trek franchise.

This game was created in 1995 by Stephen R. Prest and Jeff M. Rook for the purpose of creating a forum where people of all ages could get together and share ideas based on the Star Trek Universe. We continue to create and move forward with the dreams and hopes of Star Trek's creator Gene Roddenberry. These ideas are expressed in the form of a game based on posts written by the players that all add up to a mini-novel. These posts revolve around missions and starships of our own making.

All questions concerning copyrighted information should be sent to the Federation Main Council Chairman. The Chairman is currently: Melissa Matos.

PLAYER RIGHTS:

All new players automatically agree to, and are automatically protected by, this statement upon approval of their character and assignment to a training class:

"Members who post for the FRPG retain their copyright but give a non-exclusive license to others to forward any message they post, within the game. They also give the site operator the right to archive or approve the archiving of game posts."

All other uses of messages posted to this game require permission of the author.

This paragraph means that you retain your copyright privileges. However, by posting your message, you give the FRPG the right to archive your post. You also give other players the right to include portions or all of you post in their posts, as long as the inclusions are identified as being yours. Many times in a post this looks like: [[Davo's]] and [[Mine]], or something similar.

A player's rights do not extend to material that was not created by the individual player. Information intended for use by the game is considered a part of the game's foundation (i.e.; rules, laws, procedures) and cannot be separated from the game. Information such as, but not limited to, starships created by that player will be handled on a one-by-one basis.
