Testing terms

Revision dated August 24, 2026

Project status

Deadlock Contracts is an unofficial community project and is not affiliated with Valve. Deadlock, Steam and related marks belong to their respective owners.

Pre-release service

Features, rules, XP and stored data may change. Delays, incomplete results and temporary outages are possible. XP has no monetary value and is not sold.

Acceptable use

Automated spam, bypassing limits, accessing another person's data, exploiting defects, disrupting the service and publishing live secrets or vulnerabilities before responsible disclosure are prohibited.

Gameplay

Contracts must not be used to grief, intentionally lose or violate Deadlock or Steam rules. Objectives are designed to align with winning, but each player remains responsible for their conduct.

Evidence and decisions

Results depend on a third-party community provider. “No data” means evidence is insufficient; it is not an automatic completion or failure. The server evaluator is the only authority for contract verdicts and XP.

Contact

Send security reports privately to contact loading…. Do not publish a working exploit before a fix.
