You may access and use this website for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. The website and its resources must not be used in a manner that interferes with its operation, compromises its security, or restricts another person’s ability to access or use the website.

Steam Achievement Manager

Steam Achievement Manager is a lightweight, portable application used to manage achievements and statistics for games on Steam. The project requires the Steam client, a Steam account, and network access, with Steam running and the user logged in.

SAM operates with Steam-related functionality and game data. Its behavior can vary depending on the game, Steam services, achievement implementation, game saves, and other technical factors.

Not every game or achievement is guaranteed to behave the same way. Certain games may use protected, server-side, or game-specific systems that affect how achievements and statistics can be managed.

Software License

The rights to use, modify, and distribute Steam Achievement Manager are governed by the license included with the software.

The SAM project is released under the zlib License. The applicable license is provided with the software and governs rights relating to the project’s source code and distribution.

Nothing in these website Terms is intended to replace, restrict, or modify rights granted under the applicable software license.

If a particular component or third-party resource included with the software is subject to a separate license, that license continues to apply to the relevant component or resource.

Downloads and Software Files

Software downloads provided through this website are intended to provide access to the relevant SAM release and associated files.

We make reasonable efforts to keep available downloads accurate and current. Software releases can change over time, and a particular version may become outdated as Steam, Windows, or individual games are updated.

Before installing or using SAM, you are responsible for reviewing the available documentation and ensuring that the software is suitable for your system.

You should maintain appropriate backups of important game saves and other personal data before making changes involving game files, Steam Cloud, achievement data, or related settings.

Using Steam Achievement Manager

SAM is intended to provide users with a way to manage Steam achievements and statistics.

You are responsible for how you use the software and for understanding the potential effects of making changes to achievement data or statistics.

Your use of SAM does not change the rules that apply to your Steam account or individual games. Steam and its associated services are governed by Valve’s own agreements and policies. Valve’s current Steam Subscriber Agreement contains provisions concerning unauthorized software, cheating, automation, and interference with Steam or Steam Content and Services.

You are responsible for complying with the applicable rules and agreements associated with your Steam account and the games you play.
