Use and accuracy

Informational estimates

Results are estimates, not guaranteed in-game outcomes or official game information. Mechanics marked provisional, assumed, or excluded remain research boundaries. Game updates, target behavior, timing, accuracy, spatial hitboxes, interruption parts, network conditions, and player execution may make actual results differ. Verify important conclusions against current in-game behavior.

Permitted use

• Use the hosted site's or Windows release's features and outputs for personal, non-commercial research and scenario comparison.
• Display screenshots, charts, and simulator outputs in monetized commentary, livestreams, articles, or reviews when the presentation contains your own analysis, clearly credits NIKKE Lab by DEITY, and links to the official project page or the release used wherever links are supported.
• Import only data you own or that the account holder specifically authorized you to use.
• Do not enter credentials, cookies, tokens, authorization headers, or sensitive personal information into simulator settings, an imported JSON file, or a support report. Enter raw account IDs only in the designated online import or local capture profile field. The separate local Account Service accepts a profile link or account ID to look up an account you own or are authorized to access. Online import requires both roster and Outpost data to be publicly shared. Enter sign-in credentials only on official BlablaLink pages in the dedicated Chrome window.
• Do not modify the release or use the hosted site to automate, probe, scrape, interfere with, or gain unauthorized access to the game or a third-party service.
• Follow the official NIKKE, BlablaLink, and distribution-service terms that apply to your own activity.

The commentary and review permission covers displaying results within your own work. It does not permit making the simulator, a clone, or an automated output service available to your audience.

Project ownership

Copyright © 2026 DEITY. Subject to the third-party rights and licenses described below, the original simulator and software, user interface and visual design, NIKKE Lab branding, documentation, methodology text, and original site and release content are owned by DEITY. All rights are reserved. Accessing the hosted site, downloading a release, or using either version does not transfer ownership of those materials.

Uses that require written permission

Unless a separate license expressly allows the specific material, you must obtain written permission from DEITY before you:

• Copy or redistribute project-authored source, release files, interface assets, branding, documentation, or data-pack presentation, except for ordinary copies needed to download, run, or privately back up an authorized release.
• Sell, resell, rent, sublicense, bundle, mirror, rehost, or commercially distribute the application or a substantial project-authored part of it.
• Charge for access to the simulator or place it, a clone, or its functionality behind a payment, membership, or subscription requirement.
• Integrate the simulator, its engine, or an automated output pipeline into a commercial website, bot, application, consulting product, or other paid offering.
• Operate the simulator or a materially similar copy as a hosted, managed, or software-as-a-service offering.

Requests for commercial licensing or another use outside the express permission above may be sent to deity@nikkelab.com. Permission is not granted unless it is confirmed in writing.

Unofficial project and third-party rights

NIKKE Lab is an independent fan project. It is not affiliated with, sponsored, endorsed, or approved by SHIFT UP CORP., Level Infinite, Proxima Beta Pte. Limited, or their affiliates. No ownership is claimed over NIKKE names, characters, game content, community articles, or other third-party material. The project may change or remove material in response to a rights-holder request or policy change.

These conditions govern only project-authored material. They do not replace or narrow an open-source or third-party license that independently applies to a specific component, and they do not grant permission to use material owned by SHIFT UP or another rights holder. If a separate component license conflicts with these conditions for that component, the separate license controls.

See the current build's third-party license notices for the dependency inventory and reproduced license and notice evidence.

Hosted site

Discord sign-in and cloud sync are optional. The simulator and browser-local Library remain usable without an account.

Optional cloud sync copies only saved Library records that a user explicitly chooses to sync, as described in the Privacy notice. Signing in by itself does not upload a record. Discord provides the sign-in service and does not sponsor or endorse NIKKE Lab.

Your saved data remains yours. If you connect cloud sync, you give NIKKE Lab the limited permission needed to validate, store, secure, and copy the records you choose to sync between your signed-in devices. This permission does not transfer ownership and lasts only as needed to provide the service and meet legitimate security or legal obligations.

Current production advertising remains disabled until a valid publisher ID, explicit-consent controls, and execution isolation from cloud-account routes are configured. If advertising is enabled later, its loader will start only on designated public-information routes. The Privacy notice explains the planned consent, isolation, and privacy-choice requirements.

Cloud sync is a convenience, not a backup or version-history service. Changes and deletions may propagate, older record bodies are not retained as revisions, and the hosted site or cloud sync may be changed, limited, suspended, or withdrawn without a guaranteed support period. Export important records independently.

Local software and updates

This portable release is provided as-is, without an automatic updater or guaranteed support period. Download it only from the project's stated release location, compare its SHA-256 checksum before bypassing a Windows warning, and keep JSON backups before replacing versions. To the maximum extent allowed by applicable law, the maintainer does not promise uninterrupted operation, perfect accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, or recovery of local data. Mandatory consumer rights are not excluded.

Not an authorization statement

This notice reduces confusion about affiliation; it is not a license from a rights holder and does not represent that SHIFT UP approved the project. Availability through the hosted site or as a download does not itself grant rights to redistribute, sell, monetize, or bundle the project-authored application, third-party game material, community material, or the package as a whole. The limited commentary and review permission above and rights independently granted for specific components by their separate licenses remain unaffected. All other required permissions remain necessary.
