Miscellaneous + + This Steam Subscriber Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal document that + explains your rights and obligations as a subscriber of Steam from Valve + Corporation (“Valve”). Please read it carefully. + + SECTION 11 CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION + WAIVER. IT MAY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. PLEASE READ IT. IF YOU ARE A + CUSTOMER WITH RESIDENCE IN THE EUROPEAN UNION, SECTION 11 DOES NOT APPLY + TO YOU. + + 1. REGISTRATION AS A SUBSCRIBER; APPLICATION OF TERMS TO YOU; YOUR ACCOUNT + + Steam is an online service offered by Valve. + + You become a subscriber of Steam ("Subscriber") by completing the + registration of a Steam user account. This Agreement takes effect as soon + as you indicate your acceptance of these terms. You may not become a + subscriber if you are under the age of 13. Steam is not intended for + children under 13 and Valve will not knowingly collect personal + information from children under the age of 13. + + A. Contracting Party + + For any interaction with Steam your contractual relationship is with + Valve. Except as otherwise indicated at the time of the transaction (such + as in the case of purchases from another Subscriber in a Subscription + Marketplace), any transactions for Subscriptions (as defined below) you + make on Steam are being made from Valve. + + B. Subscriptions; Content and Services + + As a Subscriber you may obtain access to certain services, software and + content available to Subscribers. The Steam client software and any other + software, content, and updates you download or access via Steam, including + but not limited to Valve or third-party video games and in-game content, + and any virtual items you trade, sell or purchase in a Steam Subscription + Marketplace are referred to in this Agreement as “Content and Services”; + the rights to access and/or use any Contents and Services accessible + through Steam are referred to in this Agreement as "Subscriptions." + + Each Subscription allows you to access particular Content and Services. + Some Subscriptions may impose additional terms specific to that + Subscription ("Subscription Terms") (for example, an end user license + agreement specific to a particular game, or terms of use specific to a + particular product or feature of Steam). Also, additional terms (for + example, payment and billing procedures) may be posted on + http://www.steampowered.com or within the Steam service ("Rules of + Use"). Rules of Use include the Steam Online Conduct Rules + http://steampowered.com/index.php?area=online_conduct and the Steam + Refund Policy http://store.steampowered.com/steam_refunds. The + Subscription Terms, the Rules of Use, the Valve video policy (see Section + 2.D below) and the Valve Privacy Policy (which can be found at + http://www.valvesoftware.com/privacy.htm) are binding on you once you + indicate your acceptance of them or of this Agreement, or otherwise become + bound by them as described in Section 8 (Amendments to this Agreement). + + C. Your Account + + When you complete Steam’s registration process, you create a Steam account + ("Account"). Your Account may also include billing information you provide + to Valve for the purchase of Subscriptions, Content and Services and any + physical merchandise offered for purchase through Steam (“Hardware”). You + may not reveal, share or otherwise allow others to use your password or + Account except as otherwise specifically authorized by Valve. You are + responsible for the confidentiality of your login and password and for the + security of your computer system. Valve is not responsible for the use of + your password and Account or for all of the communication and activity on + Steam that results from use of your login name and password by you, by any + person to whom you may have intentionally or by negligence disclosed your + login and/or password in violation of this confidentiality provision. + Unless it results from Valve’s negligence or fault, Valve is not + responsible for the use of your Account by a person who fraudulently used + your login and password without your permission. If you believe that the + confidentiality of your login and/or password may have been compromised, + you must notify Valve via the support form + (https://support.steampowered.com/newticket.php) without any delay. + + Your Account, including any information pertaining to it (e.g.: contact + information, billing information, Account history and Subscriptions, + etc.), is strictly personal. You may therefore not sell or charge others + for the right to use your Account, or otherwise transfer your Account, nor + may you sell, charge others for the right to use, or transfer any + Subscriptions other than if and as expressly permitted by this Agreement + (including any Subscription Terms or Rules of Use) or as otherwise + specifically permitted by Valve. + + D. Payment Processing + + Payment processing related to Content and Services and/or physical goods + purchased on Steam is performed by either Valve Corporation directly or by + Valve’s fully owned subsidiary Valve GmbH on behalf of Valve Corporation + depending on the type of payment method used. If your card was issued + outside the United States, your payment may be processed via a European + acquirer by Valve GmbH on behalf of Valve Corporation. For any other type + of purchases, payment will be collected by Valve Corporation directly. In + any case, delivery of Content and Services as well as physical goods is + performed by Valve Corporation. + + 2. LICENSES + + A. General Content and Services License + + Steam and your Subscription(s) require the automatic download and + installation of Content and Services onto your computer. Valve hereby + grants, and you accept, a non-exclusive license and right, to use the + Content and Services for your personal, non-commercial use (except where + commercial use is expressly allowed herein or in the applicable + Subscription Terms). This license ends upon termination of (a) this + Agreement or (b) a Subscription that includes the license. The Content and + Services are licensed, not sold. Your license confers no title or + ownership in the Content and Services. To make use of the Content and + Services, you must have a Steam Account and you may be required to be + running the Steam client and maintaining a connection to the Internet. + + For reasons that include, without limitation, system security, stability, + and multiplayer interoperability, Steam may need to automatically update, + pre-load, create new versions of or otherwise enhance the Content and + Services and accordingly, the system requirements to use the Content and + Services may change over time. You consent to such automatic updating. You + understand that this Agreement (including applicable Subscription Terms) + does not entitle you to future updates, new versions or other enhancements + of the Content and Services associated with a particular Subscription, + although Valve may choose to provide such updates, etc. in its sole + discretion. + + B. Beta Software License + + Valve may from time to time make software accessible to you via Steam + prior to the general commercial release of such software ("Beta + Software"). You are not required to use Beta Software, but if Valve offers + it, you may elect to use it under the following terms. Beta Software will + be deemed to consist of Content and Services, and each item of Beta + Software provided will be deemed a Subscription for such Beta Software, + with the following provisions specific to Beta Software: + + • Your right to use the Beta Software may be limited in time, and may be + subject to additional Subscription Terms; + • Valve or any Valve affiliate may request or require that you provide + suggestions, feedback, or data regarding your use of the Beta + Software, which will be deemed User Generated Content under Section 6 + (User Generated Content) below; and + • In addition to the waivers and limitations of liability for all + Software under Section 7 (Disclaimers; Limitations on Liability; No + Guarantees; Limited Warranty) below as applicable, you specifically + acknowledge that Beta Software is only released for testing and + improvement purposes, in particular to provide Valve with feedback on + the quality and usability of said Beta Software, and therefore + contains errors, is not final and may create incompatibilities or + damage to your computer, data, and/or software. If you decide to + install and/or use Beta Software, you shall only use it in compliance + with its purposes, i.e. for testing and improvement purposes and in + any case not on a system or for purposes where the malfunction of the + Beta Software can cause any kind of damage. In particular, maintain + full backups of any system that you choose to install Beta Software + on. + + C. License to Use Valve Developer Tools + + Your Subscription(s) may include access to various Valve tools that can be + used to create content ("Developer Tools"). Some examples include: the + Valve software development kit (the "SDK") for a version of the computer + game engine known as "Source" (the "Source Engine") and the associated + Valve Hammer editor, The Source® Filmmaker Software, or in-game tools + through which you can edit or create derivative works of a Valve game. + Particular Developer Tools (for example, The Source® Filmmaker Software) + may be distributed with separate Subscription Terms that are different + from the rules set forth in this Section. Otherwise, you may use the + Developer Tools, and you may use, reproduce, publish, perform, display and + distribute any content you create using the Developer Tools, however you + wish, but solely on a non-commercial basis. + + If you would like to use the Source Engine SDK or other Valve Developer + Tools for commercial use, please contact Valve at + sourceengine@valvesoftware.com. + + D. License to Use Valve Game Content in Fan Art. + + Valve appreciates the community of Subscribers that creates fan art, fan + fiction, and audio-visual works that reference Valve games ("Fan Art"). + You may incorporate content from Valve games into your Fan Art. Except as + otherwise set forth in this Section or in any Subscription Terms, you may + use, reproduce, publish, perform, display and distribute Fan Art that + incorporates content from Valve games however you wish, but solely on a + non-commercial basis. + + If you incorporate any third-party content in any Fan Art, you must be + sure to obtain all necessary rights from the owner of that content. + + Commercial use of some Valve game content is permitted via features such + as Steam Workshop or a Steam Subscription Marketplace. Terms applicable to + that use are set forth in Section 3.D. and 6.B. below and in any + Subscription Terms provided for those features. + + To view the Valve video policy containing additional terms covering the + use of audio-visual works incorporating Valve intellectual property or + created with The Source® Filmmaker Software, please click here: + http://www.valvesoftware.com/videopolicy.html + + E. License to Use Valve Dedicated Server Software + + Your Subscription(s) may contain access to the Valve Dedicated Server + Software. If so, you may use the Valve Dedicated Server Software on an + unlimited number of computers for the purpose of hosting online + multiplayer games of Valve products. If you wish to operate the Valve + Dedicated Server Software, you will be solely responsible for procuring + any Internet access, bandwidth, or hardware for such activities and will + bear all costs associated therewith. + + F. Ownership of Content and Services + + All title, ownership rights and intellectual property rights in and to the + Content and Services and any and all copies thereof, are owned by Valve + and/or its or its affiliates’ licensors. All rights are reserved, except + as expressly stated herein. The Content and Services is protected by + copyright laws, international copyright treaties and conventions and other + laws. The Content and Services contains certain licensed materials and + Valve’s and its affiliates’ licensors may protect their rights in the + event of any violation of this Agreement. + + G. Restrictions on Use of Content and Services + + You may not use the Content and Services for any purpose other than the + permitted access to Steam and your Subscriptions, and to make personal, + non-commercial use of your Subscriptions, except as otherwise permitted by + this Agreement or applicable Subscription Terms. Except as otherwise + permitted under this Agreement (including any Subscription Terms or Rules + of Use), or under applicable law notwithstanding these restrictions, you + may not, in whole or in part, copy, photocopy, reproduce, publish, + distribute, translate, reverse engineer, derive source code from, modify, + disassemble, decompile, create derivative works based on, or remove any + proprietary notices or labels from the Content and Services or any + software accessed via Steam without the prior consent, in writing, of + Valve. + + You are entitled to use the Content and Services for your own personal + use, but you are not entitled to: (i) sell, grant a security interest in + or transfer reproductions of the Content and Services to other parties in + any way, nor to rent, lease or license the Content and Services to others + without the prior written consent of Valve, except to the extent expressly + permitted elsewhere in this Agreement (including any Subscription Terms or + Rules of Use); (ii) host or provide matchmaking services for the Content + and Services or emulate or redirect the communication protocols used by + Valve in any network feature of the Content and Services, through protocol + emulation, tunneling, modifying or adding components to the Content and + Services, use of a utility program or any other techniques now known or + hereafter developed, for any purpose including, but not limited to network + play over the Internet, network play utilizing commercial or + non-commercial gaming networks or as part of content aggregation networks, + websites or services, without the prior written consent of Valve; or (iii) + exploit the Content and Services or any of its parts for any commercial + purpose, except as expressly permitted elsewhere in this Agreement + (including any Subscription Terms or Rules of Use). + + 3. BILLING, PAYMENT AND OTHER SUBSCRIPTIONS + + All charges incurred on Steam, and all purchases made with the Steam + Wallet, are payable in advance and final, except as described in Section 7 + below and in the Steam Refund Policy + http://store.steampowered.com/steam_refunds. + + A. Payment Authorization + + When you provide payment information to Valve or to one of its payment + processors, you represent to Valve that you are the authorized user of the + card, PIN, key or account associated with that payment, and you authorize + Valve to charge your credit card or to process your payment with the + chosen third-party payment processor for any Subscription, Steam Wallet + funds, Hardware or other fees incurred by you. Valve may require you to + provide your address or other information in order to meet their + obligations under applicable tax law. + + For Subscriptions purchased based on an agreed usage period, where + recurring payments are made in exchange for continued use (“Recurring + Payment Subscriptions”), by continuing to use the Recurring Payment + Subscription you agree and reaffirm that Valve is authorized to charge + your credit card (or your Steam Wallet, if funded), or to process your + payment with any other applicable third-party payment processor, for any + applicable recurring payment amounts. If you have purchased any Recurring + Payment Subscriptions, you agree to notify Valve promptly of any changes + to your credit card account number, its expiration date and/or your + billing address, or your PayPal or other payment account number, and you + agree to notify Valve promptly if your credit card or PayPal or other + payment account expires or is cancelled for any reason. + + If your use of Steam is subject to any type of use or sales tax, then + Valve may also charge you for those taxes, in addition to the Subscription + or other fees published in the Rules of Use. The European Union VAT + (“VAT”) tax amounts collected by Valve reflect VAT due on the value of any + Content and Services, Hardware or Subscription. + + You agree that you will not use IP proxying or other methods to disguise + the place of your residence, whether to circumvent geographical + restrictions on game content, to purchase at pricing not applicable to + your geography, or for any other purpose. If you do this, Valve may + terminate your access to your Account. + + B. Responsibility for Charges Associated With Your Account + + As the Account holder, you are responsible for all charges incurred, + including applicable taxes, and all purchases made by you or anyone that + uses your Account, including your family or friends. If you cancel your + Account, Valve reserves the right to collect fees, surcharges or costs + incurred before cancellation. Any delinquent or unpaid Accounts must be + settled before Valve will allow you to register again. + + C. Steam Wallet + + Steam may make available an account balance associated with your Account + (the “Steam Wallet”). The Steam Wallet is neither a bank account nor any + kind of payment instrument. It functions as a prepaid balance to purchase + Content and Services. You may place funds in your Steam Wallet up to a + maximum amount determined by Valve, by credit card, prepaid card, + promotional code, or any other payment method accepted by Steam. Within + any twenty-four (24) hour period, the total amount stored in your Steam + Wallet plus the total amount spent out of your Steam Wallet, in the + aggregate, may not exceed US$2,000 or its equivalent in your applicable + local currency -- attempted deposits into your Steam Wallet that exceed + this threshold may not be credited to your Steam Wallet until your + activity falls below this threshold. Valve may change or impose different + Steam Wallet balance and usage limits from time to time. + + You will be notified by e-mail of any change to the Steam Wallet balance + and usage limits within sixty (60) days before the entry into force of the + said change. Your continued use of your Steam Account more than thirty + (30) days after the entry into force of the changes, will constitute your + acceptance of the changes. If you don’t agree to the changes, your only + remedy is to terminate your Steam Account or to cease use of your Steam + Wallet. Valve shall not have any obligation to refund any credits + remaining on your Steam Wallet in this case. + + You may use Steam Wallet funds to purchase Subscriptions, including by + making in-game purchases where Steam Wallet transactions are enabled, and + Hardware. Funds added to the Steam Wallet are non-refundable and + non-transferable. Steam Wallet funds do not constitute a personal property + right, have no value outside Steam and can only be used to purchase + Subscriptions and related content via Steam (including but not limited to + games and other applications offered through the Steam Store, or in a + Steam Subscription Marketplace) and Hardware. Steam Wallet funds have no + cash value and are not exchangeable for cash. Steam Wallet funds that are + deemed unclaimed property may be turned over to the applicable authority. + + D. Trading and Sales of Subscriptions Between Subscribers + + Steam may include one or more features or sites that allow Subscribers to + trade, sell or purchase certain types of Subscriptions (for example, + license rights to virtual items) with, to or from other Subscribers + (“Subscription Marketplaces”). An example of a Subscription Marketplace is + the Steam Community Market. By using or participating in Subscription + Marketplaces, you authorize Valve, on its own behalf or as an agent or + licensee of any third-party creator or publisher of the applicable + Subscriptions in your Account, to transfer those Subscriptions from your + Account in order to give effect to any trade or sale you make. + + Valve may charge a fee for trades or sales in a Subscription Marketplace. + Any fees will be disclosed to you prior to the completion of the trade or + sale. + + If you complete a trade, sale or purchase in a Subscription Marketplace, + you acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for taxes, if any, + which may be due with respect to your transactions, including sales or use + taxes, and for compliance with applicable tax laws. Proceeds from sales + you make in a Subscription Marketplace may be considered income to you for + income tax purposes. You should consult with a tax specialist to determine + your tax liability in connection with your activities in any Subscription + Marketplace. + + You understand and acknowledge that Valve may decide to cease operation of + any Subscription Marketplace, change the fees that it charges or change + the terms or features of the Steam Subscription Marketplace. Valve shall + have no liability to you because of any inability to trade Subscriptions + in the Steam Trading Marketplace, including because of discontinuation or + changes in the terms, features or eligibility requirements of any + Subscription Marketplace. + + You also understand and acknowledge that Subscriptions traded, sold or + purchased in any Subscription Marketplace are license rights, that you + have no ownership interest in such Subscriptions, and that Valve does not + recognize any transfers of Subscriptions (including transfers by operation + of law) that are made outside of Steam. + + E. Retail Purchase + + Valve may offer or require a Subscription for purchasers of retail + packaged product versions or OEM versions of Valve products. The "CD-Key" + or "Product Key" accompanying such versions is used to activate your + Subscription. + + F. Steam Authorized Resellers + + You may purchase a Subscription through an authorized reseller of Valve. + The "Product Key" accompanying such purchase will be used to activate your + Subscription. If you purchase a Subscription from an authorized reseller + of Valve, you agree to direct all questions regarding the Product Key to + that reseller. + + G. Free Subscriptions + + In some cases, Valve may offer a free Subscription to certain services, + software and content. As with all Subscriptions, you are always + responsible for any Internet service provider, telephone, and other + connection fees that you may incur when using Steam, even when Valve + offers a free Subscription. + + H. Third Party Sites + + Steam may provide links to other third party sites. Some of these sites + may charge separate fees, which are not included in and are in addition to + any Subscription or other fees that you may pay to Valve. Steam may also + provide access to third-party vendors, who provide content, goods and/or + services on Steam or the Internet. Any separate charges or obligations you + incur in your dealings with these third parties are your responsibility. + Valve makes no representations or warranties, either express or implied, + regarding any third party site. In particular, Valve makes no + representation or warranty that any service or subscription offered via + third-party vendors will not change or be suspended or terminated. + + 4. ONLINE CONDUCT, CHEATING AND ILLEGAL BEHAVIOR + + Your online conduct and interaction with other Subscribers should be + guided by common sense and basic etiquette. They must notably comply with + the Steam Online Conduct rules, to be found at + http://steampowered.com/index.php?area=online_conduct. Depending on + terms of use imposed by third parties who host particular games or other + services, additional requirements may also be provided in the Subscription + Terms applicable to a particular Subscription. + + Steam and the Content and Services may include functionality designed to + identify software or hardware processes or functionality that may give a + player an unfair competitive advantage when playing multiplayer versions + of any Content and Services or modifications of Content and Services + (“Cheats”). You agree that you will not create Cheats or assist third + parties in any way to create or use Cheats. You agree that you will not + directly or indirectly disable, circumvent, or otherwise interfere with + the operation of software designed to prevent or report the use of Cheats. + You acknowledge and agree that either Valve or any online multiplayer host + may refuse to allow you to participate in certain online multiplayer games + if you use Cheats in connection with Steam or the Content and Services. + Further, you acknowledge and agree that an online multiplayer host may + report your use of Cheats to Valve, and Valve may communicate your history + of use of Cheats to other online multiplayer hosts. Valve may terminate + your Account or a particular Subscription for any conduct or activity that + is illegal, constitutes a Cheat, or otherwise negatively affects the + enjoyment of Steam by other Subscribers. You acknowledge that Valve is not + required to provide you notice before terminating your Subscription(s) + and/or Account. + + You may not use Cheats, automation software (bots), mods, hacks, or any + other unauthorized third-party software, to modify or automate any + Subscription Marketplace process. + + 5. THIRD PARTY CONTENT + + In regard to all Subscriptions, Contents and Services that are not + authored by Valve, Valve does not screen such third party content + available on Steam or through other sources. Valve assumes no + responsibility or liability for such third party content. Some third party + application software is capable of being used by businesses for business + purposes - however, you may only acquire such software via Steam for + private personal use. + + 6. USER GENERATED CONTENT + + A. General Provisions + + Steam provides interfaces and tools for you to be able to generate content + and make it available to other users and/or to Valve at your sole + discretion. "User Generated Content" means any content you make available + to other users through your use of multi-user features of Steam, or to + Valve or its affiliates through your use of the Content and Services or + otherwise. + + When you upload your content to Steam to make it available to other users + and/or to Valve, you grant Valve and its affiliates the worldwide, + non-exclusive, right to use, reproduce, modify, create derivative works + from, distribute, transmit, transcode, translate, broadcast, and otherwise + communicate, and publicly display and publicly perform, your User + Generated Content, and derivative works of your User Generated Content, + for the purpose of the operation, distribution and promotion of the Steam + service, Steam games or other Steam offerings. This license is granted to + Valve as the content is uploaded on Steam for the entire duration of the + intellectual property rights. It may be terminated if Valve is in breach + of the license and has not cured such breach within fourteen (14) days + from receiving notice from you sent to the attention of the Valve Legal + Department at the applicable Valve address noted on this Privacy + Policy page. The termination of said license does not affect the rights of + any sub-licensees pursuant to any sub-license granted by Valve prior to + termination of the license. Valve is the sole owner of the derivative + works created by Valve from your Content, and is therefore entitled to + grant licenses on these derivative works. If you use Valve cloud storage, + you grant us a license to store your information as part of that service. + Valve may place limits on the amount of storage you may use. + + If you provide Valve with any feedback or suggestions about Steam, the + Content and Services, or any Valve products or services, Valve is free to + use the feedback or suggestions however it chooses, without any obligation + to account to you. + + B. Content Uploaded to the Steam Workshop + + Some games or applications available on Steam ("Workshop-Enabled Apps") + allow you to create User Generated Content based on or using the + Workshop-Enabled App, and to submit that User Generated Content (a + “Workshop Contribution”) to one or more Steam Workshop web pages. Workshop + Contributions can be viewed by the Steam community, and for some + categories of Workshop Contributions users may be able to interact with, + download or purchase the Workshop Contribution. In some cases, Workshop + Contributions may be considered for incorporation by Valve or a + third-party developer into a game or into a Subscription Marketplace. + + You understand and agree that Valve is not obligated to use, distribute, + or continue to distribute copies of any Workshop Contribution and reserves + the right, but not the obligation, to restrict or remove Workshop + Contributions for any reason. + + Specific Workshop-Enabled Apps or Workshop web pages may contain special + terms (“App-Specific Terms”) that supplement or change the terms set out + in this Section. In particular, where Workshop Contributions are + distributed for a fee, App-Specific Terms will address how revenue may be + shared. Unless otherwise specified in App-Specific Terms (if any), the + following general rules apply to Workshop Contributions. + + • Workshop Contributions are Subscriptions, and therefore you agree that + any Subscriber receiving distribution of your Workshop Contribution + will have the same rights to use your Workshop Contribution (and will + be subject to the same restrictions) as are set out in this Agreement + for any other Subscriptions. + • Notwithstanding the license described in Section 6.A., Valve will only + have the right to modify or create derivative works from your Workshop + Contribution in the following cases: (a) Valve may make modifications + necessary to make your Contribution compatible with Steam and the + Workshop functionality or user interface, and (b) Valve or the + applicable developer may make modifications to Workshop Contributions + that are accepted for in-Application distribution as it deems + necessary or desirable to enhance gameplay. + • You may, in your sole discretion, choose to remove a Workshop + Contribution from the applicable Workshop pages. If you do so, Valve + will no longer have the right to use, distribute, transmit, + communicate, publicly display or publicly perform the Workshop + Contribution, except that (a) Valve may continue to exercise these + rights for any Workshop Contribution that is accepted for distribution + in-game or distributed in a manner that allows it to be used in-game, + and (b) your removal will not affect the rights of any Subscriber who + has already obtained access to a copy of the Workshop Contribution. + + Except where otherwise provided in App-Specific Terms, you agree that + Valve’s consideration of your Workshop Contribution is your full + compensation, and you are not entitled to any other rights or compensation + in connection with the rights granted to Valve and to other Subscribers. + + C. Promotions and Endorsements + + If you use Steam services (e.g. the Steam Curators’ Lists or the Steam + Broadcasting service) to promote or endorse a product, service or event in + return for any kind of consideration from a third party (including + non-monetary rewards such as free games), you must clearly indicate the + source of such consideration to your audience. + + D. Representations and Warranties + + You represent and warrant to us that you have sufficient rights in all + User Generated Content to grant Valve and other affected parties the + licenses described under A. and B. above or in any license terms specific + to the applicable Workshop-Enabled App or Workshop page. This includes, + without limitation, any kind of intellectual property rights or other + proprietary or personal rights affected by or included in the User + Generated Content. In particular, with respect to Workshop Contributions, + you represent and warrant that the Workshop Contribution was originally + created by you (or, with respect to a Workshop Contribution to which + others contributed besides you, by you and the other contributors, and in + such case that you have the right to submit such Workshop Contribution on + behalf of those other contributors). + + You furthermore represent and warrant that the User Generated Content, + your submission of that Content, and your granting of rights in that + Content does not violate any applicable contract, law or regulation. + + 7. DISCLAIMERS; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; NO GUARANTEES; LIMITED WARRANTY + + THIS SECTION 7 DOES NOT APPLY TO EU SUBSCRIBERS. + + • FOR NEW ZEALAND SUBSCRIBERS, THIS SECTION 7 DOES NOT EXCLUDE, RESTRICT + OR MODIFY THE APPLICATION OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY THAT CANNOT BE SO + EXCLUDED, RESTRICTED OR MODIFIED INCLUDING THOSE CONFERRED BY THE NEW + ZEALAND CONSUMER GUARANTEES ACT 1993. UNDER THIS ACT ARE GUARANTEES + WHICH INCLUDE THAT GOODS AND SERVICES ARE OF ACCEPTABLE QUALITY. IF + THIS GUARANTEE IS NOT MET THERE ARE ENTITLEMENTS TO HAVE THE SOFTWARE + REMEDIED (WHICH MAY INCLUDE REPAIR, REPLACEMENT OR REFUND). IF A + REMEDY CANNOT BE PROVIDED OR THE FAILURE IS OF A SUBSTANTIAL + CHARACTER, THE ACT PROVIDES FOR A REFUND. + + Prior to acquiring a Subscription, you should consult the product + information made available on Steam, including Subscription description, + minimum technical requirements, and user reviews. + + A. DISCLAIMERS + + VALVE AND ITS AFFILIATES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM (I) ANY + WARRANTY FOR STEAM, THE CONTENT AND SERVICES, AND THE SUBSCRIPTIONS, AND + (II) ANY COMMON LAW DUTIES WITH REGARD TO STEAM, THE CONTENT AND SERVICES, + AND THE SUBSCRIPTIONS, INCLUDING DUTIES OF LACK OF NEGLIGENCE AND LACK OF + WORKMANLIKE EFFORT. STEAM, THE CONTENT AND SERVICES, THE SUBSCRIPTIONS, + AND ANY INFORMATION AVAILABLE IN CONNECTION THEREWITH ARE PROVIDED ON AN + "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, "WITH ALL FAULTS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTY + OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE + IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, + OR NONINFRINGEMENT. ANY WARRANTY AGAINST INFRINGEMENT THAT MAY BE PROVIDED + IN SECTION 2-312 OF THE UNITED STATES UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE AND/OR IN + ANY OTHER COMPARABLE STATE STATUTE IS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED.

APPLICABLE LAW/JURISDICTION + + For All Customers Outside the European Union: + + You agree that this Agreement shall be deemed to have been made and + executed in the State of Washington, U.S.A., and any dispute arising + hereunder shall be resolved in accordance with the law of Washington + excluding the law of conflicts and the Convention on Contracts for the + International Sale of Goods. Subject to Section 11 (Dispute + Resolution/Binding Arbitration/Class Action Waiver) below, you agree that + any claim asserted in any legal proceeding by you against Valve shall be + commenced and maintained exclusively in any state or federal court located + in King County, Washington, having subject matter jurisdiction with + respect to the dispute between the parties and you hereby consent to the + exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION/BINDING ARBITRATION/CLASS ACTION WAIVER + + This Section 11 shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable + law. If the laws of your jurisdiction prohibit the application of some or + all of the provisions of this Section notwithstanding Section 10 + (Applicable Law/Jurisdiction), such provisions will not apply to you. IN + PARTICULAR, IF YOU LIVE IN THE EUROPEAN UNION, THIS SECTION 11 DOES NOT + APPLY TO YOU. + + Most user concerns can be resolved by use of our Steam support site at + https://support.steampowered.com/. If Valve is unable to resolve your + concerns and a dispute remains between you and Valve, this Section + explains how the parties have agreed to resolve it. + + YOU AND VALVE AGREE TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS BETWEEN US IN + INDIVIDUAL BINDING ARBITRATION. THAT INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, ANY + CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO: (i) ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP + BETWEEN US; (ii) THIS AGREEMENT; OR (iii) YOUR USE OF STEAM, YOUR ACCOUNT + OR THE CONTENT AND SERVICES. IT APPLIES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH CLAIMS + ARE BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, UNFAIR COMPETITION, + MISREPRESENTATION OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY. + + However, this Section does not apply to the following types of claims or + disputes, which you or Valve may bring in any court with jurisdiction: (i) + claims of infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights, + including such claims seeking injunctive relief; and (ii) claims related + to or arising from any alleged unauthorized use, piracy or theft. + + This Section does not prevent you from bringing your dispute to the + attention of any federal, state, or local government agencies that can, if + the law allows, seek relief from us for you. + + An arbitration is a proceeding before a neutral arbitrator, instead of + before a judge or jury. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in + court, and provides more limited discovery. It follows different rules + than court proceedings, and is subject to very limited review by courts. + The arbitrator will issue a written decision and provide a statement of + reasons if requested by either party. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND VALVE + ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND TO HAVE A TRIAL BEFORE A JUDGE + OR JURY. + + You and Valve agree to make reasonable, good faith efforts to informally + resolve any dispute before initiating arbitration. A party who intends to + seek arbitration must first send the other a written notice that describes + the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and sets forth the relief + sought. If you and Valve do not reach an agreement to resolve that claim + or dispute within 30 days after the notice is received, you or Valve may + commence an arbitration. Written notice to Valve must be sent via postal + mail to: ATTN: Arbitration Notice, Valve Corporation, P.O. Box 1688, + Bellevue, WA 98004. + + The Federal Arbitration Act applies to this Section. The arbitration will + be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American + Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where applicable, the AAA’s + Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes, as modified by + this Agreement, both of which are available at http://www.adr.org. + The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. + + The AAA will administer the arbitration. It may be conducted through the + submission of documents, by phone, or in person in the county where you + live or at another mutually agreed location. + + If you seek $10,000 or less, Valve agrees to reimburse your filing fee and + your share of the arbitration costs, including your share of arbitrator + compensation, at the conclusion of the proceeding, unless the arbitrator + determines your claims are frivolous or costs are unreasonable as + determined by the arbitrator. Valve agrees not to seek its attorneys’ fees + or costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines your claims are + frivolous or costs are unreasonable as determined by the arbitrator. If + you seek more than $10,000, the arbitration costs, including arbitrator + compensation, will be split between you and Valve according to the AAA + Commercial Arbitration Rules and the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for + Consumer Related Disputes, if applicable. + + YOU AND VALVE AGREE NOT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS OR + REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR COLLECTIVE + ARBITRATION, EVEN IF AAA’s PROCEDURES OR RULES WOULD OTHERWISE ALLOW ONE. + THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY + SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT OF THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM. + You and Valve also agree not to seek to combine any action or arbitration + with any other action or arbitration without the consent of all parties to + this Agreement and all other actions or arbitrations. + + If the agreement in this Section not to bring or participate in a class or + representative action, private attorney general action or collective + arbitration should be found illegal or unenforceable, you and Valve agree + that it shall not be severable, that this entire Section shall be + unenforceable and any claim or dispute would be resolved in court and not + in collective arbitration. + + Notwithstanding this Section, you have the right to litigate any dispute + in small claims court, if all the requirements of the small claims court, + including any limitations on jurisdiction and the amount at issue in the + dispute, are satisfied. + + 12. MISCELLANEOUS + + Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, in the event + that any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court or other + tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provision + will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining + portions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. This + Agreement, including any Subscription Terms, Rules of Use, the Valve + Privacy Policy, and the Valve Hardware Warranty Policy, constitutes and + contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the + subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior oral or written agreements. + You agree that this Agreement is not intended to confer and does not + confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties to + this Agreement. + + Valve’s obligations are subject to existing laws and legal process and + Valve may comply with law enforcement or regulatory requests or + requirements notwithstanding any contrary term. + + You agree to comply with all applicable import/export laws and + regulations. You agree not to export the Content and Services or Hardware + or allow use of your Account by individuals of any terrorist supporting + countries to which encryption exports are at the time of exportation + restricted by the U.S. Bureau of Export Administration. You represent and + warrant that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national + or resident of any such prohibited country. + + This Agreement was last updated on August 31st, 2017 ("Revision Date"). If + you were a Subscriber before the Revision Date, it replaces your existing + agreement with Valve or Valve SARL on the day that you explicitly accept + it. If you prefer to continue using Steam and your existing Subscriptions + under the version of the Agreement in effect prior to the Revision Date, + you are free to do so. |
