40 + This Steam Subscriber Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal document that
41 + explains your rights and obligations as a subscriber of Steam from Valve
42 + Corporation (“Valve”). Please read it carefully.
43 +
44 + SECTION 11 CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION
45 + WAIVER. IT MAY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. PLEASE READ IT. IF YOU ARE A
46 + CUSTOMER WITH RESIDENCE IN THE EUROPEAN UNION, SECTION 11 DOES NOT APPLY
47 + TO YOU.
48 +
49 + 1. REGISTRATION AS A SUBSCRIBER; APPLICATION OF TERMS TO YOU; YOUR ACCOUNT
50 +
51 + Steam is an online service offered by Valve.
52 +
53 + You become a subscriber of Steam ("Subscriber") by completing the
54 + registration of a Steam user account. This Agreement takes effect as soon
55 + as you indicate your acceptance of these terms. You may not become a
56 + subscriber if you are under the age of 13. Steam is not intended for
57 + children under 13 and Valve will not knowingly collect personal
58 + information from children under the age of 13.
59 +
60 + A. Contracting Party
61 +
62 + For any interaction with Steam your contractual relationship is with
63 + Valve. Except as otherwise indicated at the time of the transaction (such
64 + as in the case of purchases from another Subscriber in a Subscription
65 + Marketplace), any transactions for Subscriptions (as defined below) you
66 + make on Steam are being made from Valve.
67 +
68 + B. Subscriptions; Content and Services
69 +
70 + As a Subscriber you may obtain access to certain services, software and
71 + content available to Subscribers. The Steam client software and any other
72 + software, content, and updates you download or access via Steam, including
73 + but not limited to Valve or third-party video games and in-game content,
74 + and any virtual items you trade, sell or purchase in a Steam Subscription
75 + Marketplace are referred to in this Agreement as “Content and Services”;
76 + the rights to access and/or use any Contents and Services accessible
77 + through Steam are referred to in this Agreement as "Subscriptions."
78 +
79 + Each Subscription allows you to access particular Content and Services.
80 + Some Subscriptions may impose additional terms specific to that
81 + Subscription ("Subscription Terms") (for example, an end user license
82 + agreement specific to a particular game, or terms of use specific to a
83 + particular product or feature of Steam). Also, additional terms (for
84 + example, payment and billing procedures) may be posted on
85 + http://www.steampowered.com or within the Steam service ("Rules of
86 + Use"). Rules of Use include the Steam Online Conduct Rules
87 + http://steampowered.com/index.php?area=online_conduct and the Steam
88 + Refund Policy http://store.steampowered.com/steam_refunds. The
89 + Subscription Terms, the Rules of Use, the Valve video policy (see Section
90 + 2.D below) and the Valve Privacy Policy (which can be found at
91 + http://www.valvesoftware.com/privacy.htm) are binding on you once you
92 + indicate your acceptance of them or of this Agreement, or otherwise become
93 + bound by them as described in Section 8 (Amendments to this Agreement).
94 +
95 + C. Your Account
96 +
97 + When you complete Steam’s registration process, you create a Steam account
98 + ("Account"). Your Account may also include billing information you provide
99 + to Valve for the purchase of Subscriptions, Content and Services and any
100 + physical merchandise offered for purchase through Steam (“Hardware”). You
101 + may not reveal, share or otherwise allow others to use your password or
102 + Account except as otherwise specifically authorized by Valve. You are
103 + responsible for the confidentiality of your login and password and for the
104 + security of your computer system. Valve is not responsible for the use of
105 + your password and Account or for all of the communication and activity on
106 + Steam that results from use of your login name and password by you, by any
107 + person to whom you may have intentionally or by negligence disclosed your
108 + login and/or password in violation of this confidentiality provision.
109 + Unless it results from Valve’s negligence or fault, Valve is not
110 + responsible for the use of your Account by a person who fraudulently used
111 + your login and password without your permission. If you believe that the
112 + confidentiality of your login and/or password may have been compromised,
113 + you must notify Valve via the support form
114 + (https://support.steampowered.com/newticket.php) without any delay.
115 +
116 + Your Account, including any information pertaining to it (e.g.: contact
117 + information, billing information, Account history and Subscriptions,
118 + etc.), is strictly personal. You may therefore not sell or charge others
119 + for the right to use your Account, or otherwise transfer your Account, nor
120 + may you sell, charge others for the right to use, or transfer any
121 + Subscriptions other than if and as expressly permitted by this Agreement
122 + (including any Subscription Terms or Rules of Use) or as otherwise
123 + specifically permitted by Valve.
124 +
125 + D. Payment Processing
126 +
127 + Payment processing related to Content and Services and/or physical goods
128 + purchased on Steam is performed by either Valve Corporation directly or by
129 + Valve’s fully owned subsidiary Valve GmbH on behalf of Valve Corporation
130 + depending on the type of payment method used. If your card was issued
131 + outside the United States, your payment may be processed via a European
132 + acquirer by Valve GmbH on behalf of Valve Corporation. For any other type
133 + of purchases, payment will be collected by Valve Corporation directly. In
134 + any case, delivery of Content and Services as well as physical goods is
135 + performed by Valve Corporation.
136 +
137 + 2. LICENSES
138 +
139 + A. General Content and Services License
140 +
141 + Steam and your Subscription(s) require the automatic download and
142 + installation of Content and Services onto your computer. Valve hereby
143 + grants, and you accept, a non-exclusive license and right, to use the
144 + Content and Services for your personal, non-commercial use (except where
145 + commercial use is expressly allowed herein or in the applicable
146 + Subscription Terms). This license ends upon termination of (a) this
147 + Agreement or (b) a Subscription that includes the license. The Content and
148 + Services are licensed, not sold. Your license confers no title or
149 + ownership in the Content and Services. To make use of the Content and
150 + Services, you must have a Steam Account and you may be required to be
151 + running the Steam client and maintaining a connection to the Internet.
152 +
153 + For reasons that include, without limitation, system security, stability,
154 + and multiplayer interoperability, Steam may need to automatically update,
155 + pre-load, create new versions of or otherwise enhance the Content and
156 + Services and accordingly, the system requirements to use the Content and
157 + Services may change over time. You consent to such automatic updating. You
158 + understand that this Agreement (including applicable Subscription Terms)
159 + does not entitle you to future updates, new versions or other enhancements
160 + of the Content and Services associated with a particular Subscription,
161 + although Valve may choose to provide such updates, etc. in its sole
162 + discretion.
163 +
164 + B. Beta Software License
165 +
166 + Valve may from time to time make software accessible to you via Steam
167 + prior to the general commercial release of such software ("Beta
168 + Software"). You are not required to use Beta Software, but if Valve offers
169 + it, you may elect to use it under the following terms. Beta Software will
170 + be deemed to consist of Content and Services, and each item of Beta
171 + Software provided will be deemed a Subscription for such Beta Software,
172 + with the following provisions specific to Beta Software:
173 +
174 + • Your right to use the Beta Software may be limited in time, and may be
175 + subject to additional Subscription Terms;
176 + • Valve or any Valve affiliate may request or require that you provide
177 + suggestions, feedback, or data regarding your use of the Beta
178 + Software, which will be deemed User Generated Content under Section 6
179 + (User Generated Content) below; and
180 + • In addition to the waivers and limitations of liability for all
181 + Software under Section 7 (Disclaimers; Limitations on Liability; No
182 + Guarantees; Limited Warranty) below as applicable, you specifically
183 + acknowledge that Beta Software is only released for testing and
184 + improvement purposes, in particular to provide Valve with feedback on
185 + the quality and usability of said Beta Software, and therefore
186 + contains errors, is not final and may create incompatibilities or
187 + damage to your computer, data, and/or software. If you decide to
188 + install and/or use Beta Software, you shall only use it in compliance
189 + with its purposes, i.e. for testing and improvement purposes and in
190 + any case not on a system or for purposes where the malfunction of the
191 + Beta Software can cause any kind of damage. In particular, maintain
192 + full backups of any system that you choose to install Beta Software
193 + on.
194 +
195 + C. License to Use Valve Developer Tools
196 +
197 + Your Subscription(s) may include access to various Valve tools that can be
198 + used to create content ("Developer Tools"). Some examples include: the
199 + Valve software development kit (the "SDK") for a version of the computer
200 + game engine known as "Source" (the "Source Engine") and the associated
201 + Valve Hammer editor, The Source® Filmmaker Software, or in-game tools
202 + through which you can edit or create derivative works of a Valve game.
203 + Particular Developer Tools (for example, The Source® Filmmaker Software)
204 + may be distributed with separate Subscription Terms that are different
205 + from the rules set forth in this Section. Otherwise, you may use the
206 + Developer Tools, and you may use, reproduce, publish, perform, display and
207 + distribute any content you create using the Developer Tools, however you
208 + wish, but solely on a non-commercial basis.
209 +
210 + If you would like to use the Source Engine SDK or other Valve Developer
211 + Tools for commercial use, please contact Valve at
212 + sourceengine@×××××××××××××.com.
213 +
214 + D. License to Use Valve Game Content in Fan Art.
215 +
216 + Valve appreciates the community of Subscribers that creates fan art, fan
217 + fiction, and audio-visual works that reference Valve games ("Fan Art").
218 + You may incorporate content from Valve games into your Fan Art. Except as
219 + otherwise set forth in this Section or in any Subscription Terms, you may
220 + use, reproduce, publish, perform, display and distribute Fan Art that
221 + incorporates content from Valve games however you wish, but solely on a
222 + non-commercial basis.
223 +
224 + If you incorporate any third-party content in any Fan Art, you must be
225 + sure to obtain all necessary rights from the owner of that content.
226 +
227 + Commercial use of some Valve game content is permitted via features such
228 + as Steam Workshop or a Steam Subscription Marketplace. Terms applicable to
229 + that use are set forth in Section 3.D. and 6.B. below and in any
230 + Subscription Terms provided for those features.
231 +
232 + To view the Valve video policy containing additional terms covering the
233 + use of audio-visual works incorporating Valve intellectual property or
234 + created with The Source® Filmmaker Software, please click here:
235 + http://www.valvesoftware.com/videopolicy.html
236 +
237 + E. License to Use Valve Dedicated Server Software
238 +
239 + Your Subscription(s) may contain access to the Valve Dedicated Server
240 + Software. If so, you may use the Valve Dedicated Server Software on an
241 + unlimited number of computers for the purpose of hosting online
242 + multiplayer games of Valve products. If you wish to operate the Valve
243 + Dedicated Server Software, you will be solely responsible for procuring
244 + any Internet access, bandwidth, or hardware for such activities and will
245 + bear all costs associated therewith.
246 +
247 + F. Ownership of Content and Services
248 +
249 + All title, ownership rights and intellectual property rights in and to the
250 + Content and Services and any and all copies thereof, are owned by Valve
251 + and/or its or its affiliates’ licensors. All rights are reserved, except
252 + as expressly stated herein. The Content and Services is protected by
253 + copyright laws, international copyright treaties and conventions and other
254 + laws. The Content and Services contains certain licensed materials and
255 + Valve’s and its affiliates’ licensors may protect their rights in the
256 + event of any violation of this Agreement.
257 +
258 + G. Restrictions on Use of Content and Services
259 +
260 + You may not use the Content and Services for any purpose other than the
261 + permitted access to Steam and your Subscriptions, and to make personal,
262 + non-commercial use of your Subscriptions, except as otherwise permitted by
263 + this Agreement or applicable Subscription Terms. Except as otherwise
264 + permitted under this Agreement (including any Subscription Terms or Rules
265 + of Use), or under applicable law notwithstanding these restrictions, you
266 + may not, in whole or in part, copy, photocopy, reproduce, publish,
267 + distribute, translate, reverse engineer, derive source code from, modify,
268 + disassemble, decompile, create derivative works based on, or remove any
269 + proprietary notices or labels from the Content and Services or any
270 + software accessed via Steam without the prior consent, in writing, of
271 + Valve.
272 +
273 + You are entitled to use the Content and Services for your own personal
274 + use, but you are not entitled to: (i) sell, grant a security interest in
275 + or transfer reproductions of the Content and Services to other parties in
276 + any way, nor to rent, lease or license the Content and Services to others
277 + without the prior written consent of Valve, except to the extent expressly
278 + permitted elsewhere in this Agreement (including any Subscription Terms or
279 + Rules of Use); (ii) host or provide matchmaking services for the Content
280 + and Services or emulate or redirect the communication protocols used by
281 + Valve in any network feature of the Content and Services, through protocol
282 + emulation, tunneling, modifying or adding components to the Content and
283 + Services, use of a utility program or any other techniques now known or
284 + hereafter developed, for any purpose including, but not limited to network
285 + play over the Internet, network play utilizing commercial or
286 + non-commercial gaming networks or as part of content aggregation networks,
287 + websites or services, without the prior written consent of Valve; or (iii)
288 + exploit the Content and Services or any of its parts for any commercial
289 + purpose, except as expressly permitted elsewhere in this Agreement
290 + (including any Subscription Terms or Rules of Use).
291 +
292 + 3. BILLING, PAYMENT AND OTHER SUBSCRIPTIONS
293 +
294 + All charges incurred on Steam, and all purchases made with the Steam
295 + Wallet, are payable in advance and final, except as described in Section 7
296 + below and in the Steam Refund Policy
297 + http://store.steampowered.com/steam_refunds.
298 +
299 + A. Payment Authorization
300 +
301 + When you provide payment information to Valve or to one of its payment
302 + processors, you represent to Valve that you are the authorized user of the
303 + card, PIN, key or account associated with that payment, and you authorize
304 + Valve to charge your credit card or to process your payment with the
305 + chosen third-party payment processor for any Subscription, Steam Wallet
306 + funds, Hardware or other fees incurred by you. Valve may require you to
307 + provide your address or other information in order to meet their
308 + obligations under applicable tax law.
309 +
310 + For Subscriptions purchased based on an agreed usage period, where
311 + recurring payments are made in exchange for continued use (“Recurring
312 + Payment Subscriptions”), by continuing to use the Recurring Payment
313 + Subscription you agree and reaffirm that Valve is authorized to charge
314 + your credit card (or your Steam Wallet, if funded), or to process your
315 + payment with any other applicable third-party payment processor, for any
316 + applicable recurring payment amounts. If you have purchased any Recurring
317 + Payment Subscriptions, you agree to notify Valve promptly of any changes
318 + to your credit card account number, its expiration date and/or your
319 + billing address, or your PayPal or other payment account number, and you
320 + agree to notify Valve promptly if your credit card or PayPal or other
321 + payment account expires or is cancelled for any reason.
322 +
323 + If your use of Steam is subject to any type of use or sales tax, then
324 + Valve may also charge you for those taxes, in addition to the Subscription
325 + or other fees published in the Rules of Use. The European Union VAT
326 + (“VAT”) tax amounts collected by Valve reflect VAT due on the value of any
327 + Content and Services, Hardware or Subscription.
328 +
329 + You agree that you will not use IP proxying or other methods to disguise
330 + the place of your residence, whether to circumvent geographical
331 + restrictions on game content, to purchase at pricing not applicable to
332 + your geography, or for any other purpose. If you do this, Valve may
333 + terminate your access to your Account.
334 +
335 + B. Responsibility for Charges Associated With Your Account
336 +
337 + As the Account holder, you are responsible for all charges incurred,
338 + including applicable taxes, and all purchases made by you or anyone that
339 + uses your Account, including your family or friends. If you cancel your
340 + Account, Valve reserves the right to collect fees, surcharges or costs
341 + incurred before cancellation. Any delinquent or unpaid Accounts must be
342 + settled before Valve will allow you to register again.
343 +
344 + C. Steam Wallet
345 +
346 + Steam may make available an account balance associated with your Account
347 + (the “Steam Wallet”). The Steam Wallet is neither a bank account nor any
348 + kind of payment instrument. It functions as a prepaid balance to purchase
349 + Content and Services. You may place funds in your Steam Wallet up to a
350 + maximum amount determined by Valve, by credit card, prepaid card,
351 + promotional code, or any other payment method accepted by Steam. Within
352 + any twenty-four (24) hour period, the total amount stored in your Steam
353 + Wallet plus the total amount spent out of your Steam Wallet, in the
354 + aggregate, may not exceed US$2,000 or its equivalent in your applicable
355 + local currency -- attempted deposits into your Steam Wallet that exceed
356 + this threshold may not be credited to your Steam Wallet until your
357 + activity falls below this threshold. Valve may change or impose different
358 + Steam Wallet balance and usage limits from time to time.
359 +
360 + You will be notified by e-mail of any change to the Steam Wallet balance
361 + and usage limits within sixty (60) days before the entry into force of the
362 + said change. Your continued use of your Steam Account more than thirty
363 + (30) days after the entry into force of the changes, will constitute your
364 + acceptance of the changes. If you don’t agree to the changes, your only
365 + remedy is to terminate your Steam Account or to cease use of your Steam
366 + Wallet. Valve shall not have any obligation to refund any credits
367 + remaining on your Steam Wallet in this case.
368 +
369 + You may use Steam Wallet funds to purchase Subscriptions, including by
370 + making in-game purchases where Steam Wallet transactions are enabled, and
371 + Hardware. Funds added to the Steam Wallet are non-refundable and
372 + non-transferable. Steam Wallet funds do not constitute a personal property
373 + right, have no value outside Steam and can only be used to purchase
374 + Subscriptions and related content via Steam (including but not limited to
375 + games and other applications offered through the Steam Store, or in a
376 + Steam Subscription Marketplace) and Hardware. Steam Wallet funds have no
377 + cash value and are not exchangeable for cash. Steam Wallet funds that are
378 + deemed unclaimed property may be turned over to the applicable authority.
379 +
380 + D. Trading and Sales of Subscriptions Between Subscribers
381 +
382 + Steam may include one or more features or sites that allow Subscribers to
383 + trade, sell or purchase certain types of Subscriptions (for example,
384 + license rights to virtual items) with, to or from other Subscribers
385 + (“Subscription Marketplaces”). An example of a Subscription Marketplace is
386 + the Steam Community Market. By using or participating in Subscription
387 + Marketplaces, you authorize Valve, on its own behalf or as an agent or
388 + licensee of any third-party creator or publisher of the applicable
389 + Subscriptions in your Account, to transfer those Subscriptions from your
390 + Account in order to give effect to any trade or sale you make.
391 +
392 + Valve may charge a fee for trades or sales in a Subscription Marketplace.
393 + Any fees will be disclosed to you prior to the completion of the trade or
394 + sale.
395 +
396 + If you complete a trade, sale or purchase in a Subscription Marketplace,
397 + you acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for taxes, if any,
398 + which may be due with respect to your transactions, including sales or use
399 + taxes, and for compliance with applicable tax laws. Proceeds from sales
400 + you make in a Subscription Marketplace may be considered income to you for
401 + income tax purposes. You should consult with a tax specialist to determine
402 + your tax liability in connection with your activities in any Subscription
403 + Marketplace.
404 +
405 + You understand and acknowledge that Valve may decide to cease operation of
406 + any Subscription Marketplace, change the fees that it charges or change
407 + the terms or features of the Steam Subscription Marketplace. Valve shall
408 + have no liability to you because of any inability to trade Subscriptions
409 + in the Steam Trading Marketplace, including because of discontinuation or
410 + changes in the terms, features or eligibility requirements of any
411 + Subscription Marketplace.
412 +
413 + You also understand and acknowledge that Subscriptions traded, sold or
414 + purchased in any Subscription Marketplace are license rights, that you
415 + have no ownership interest in such Subscriptions, and that Valve does not
416 + recognize any transfers of Subscriptions (including transfers by operation
417 + of law) that are made outside of Steam.
418 +
419 + E. Retail Purchase
420 +
421 + Valve may offer or require a Subscription for purchasers of retail
422 + packaged product versions or OEM versions of Valve products. The "CD-Key"
423 + or "Product Key" accompanying such versions is used to activate your
424 + Subscription.
425 +
426 + F. Steam Authorized Resellers
427 +
428 + You may purchase a Subscription through an authorized reseller of Valve.
429 + The "Product Key" accompanying such purchase will be used to activate your
430 + Subscription. If you purchase a Subscription from an authorized reseller
431 + of Valve, you agree to direct all questions regarding the Product Key to
432 + that reseller.
433 +
434 + G. Free Subscriptions
435 +
436 + In some cases, Valve may offer a free Subscription to certain services,
437 + software and content. As with all Subscriptions, you are always
438 + responsible for any Internet service provider, telephone, and other
439 + connection fees that you may incur when using Steam, even when Valve
440 + offers a free Subscription.
441 +
442 + H. Third Party Sites
443 +
444 + Steam may provide links to other third party sites. Some of these sites
445 + may charge separate fees, which are not included in and are in addition to
446 + any Subscription or other fees that you may pay to Valve. Steam may also
447 + provide access to third-party vendors, who provide content, goods and/or
448 + services on Steam or the Internet. Any separate charges or obligations you
449 + incur in your dealings with these third parties are your responsibility.
450 + Valve makes no representations or warranties, either express or implied,
451 + regarding any third party site. In particular, Valve makes no
452 + representation or warranty that any service or subscription offered via
453 + third-party vendors will not change or be suspended or terminated.
454 +
455 + 4. ONLINE CONDUCT, CHEATING AND ILLEGAL BEHAVIOR
456 +
457 + Your online conduct and interaction with other Subscribers should be
458 + guided by common sense and basic etiquette. They must notably comply with
459 + the Steam Online Conduct rules, to be found at
460 + http://steampowered.com/index.php?area=online_conduct. Depending on
461 + terms of use imposed by third parties who host particular games or other
462 + services, additional requirements may also be provided in the Subscription
463 + Terms applicable to a particular Subscription.
464 +
465 + Steam and the Content and Services may include functionality designed to
466 + identify software or hardware processes or functionality that may give a
467 + player an unfair competitive advantage when playing multiplayer versions
468 + of any Content and Services or modifications of Content and Services
469 + (“Cheats”). You agree that you will not create Cheats or assist third
470 + parties in any way to create or use Cheats. You agree that you will not
471 + directly or indirectly disable, circumvent, or otherwise interfere with
472 + the operation of software designed to prevent or report the use of Cheats.
473 + You acknowledge and agree that either Valve or any online multiplayer host
474 + may refuse to allow you to participate in certain online multiplayer games
475 + if you use Cheats in connection with Steam or the Content and Services.
476 + Further, you acknowledge and agree that an online multiplayer host may
477 + report your use of Cheats to Valve, and Valve may communicate your history
478 + of use of Cheats to other online multiplayer hosts. Valve may terminate
479 + your Account or a particular Subscription for any conduct or activity that
480 + is illegal, constitutes a Cheat, or otherwise negatively affects the
481 + enjoyment of Steam by other Subscribers. You acknowledge that Valve is not
482 + required to provide you notice before terminating your Subscription(s)
483 + and/or Account.
484 +
485 + You may not use Cheats, automation software (bots), mods, hacks, or any
486 + other unauthorized third-party software, to modify or automate any
487 + Subscription Marketplace process.
488 +
489 + 5. THIRD PARTY CONTENT
490 +
491 + In regard to all Subscriptions, Contents and Services that are not
492 + authored by Valve, Valve does not screen such third party content
493 + available on Steam or through other sources. Valve assumes no
494 + responsibility or liability for such third party content. Some third party
495 + application software is capable of being used by businesses for business
496 + purposes - however, you may only acquire such software via Steam for
497 + private personal use.
498 +
499 + 6. USER GENERATED CONTENT
500 +
501 + A. General Provisions
502 +
503 + Steam provides interfaces and tools for you to be able to generate content
504 + and make it available to other users and/or to Valve at your sole
505 + discretion. "User Generated Content" means any content you make available
506 + to other users through your use of multi-user features of Steam, or to
507 + Valve or its affiliates through your use of the Content and Services or
508 + otherwise.
509 +
510 + When you upload your content to Steam to make it available to other users
511 + and/or to Valve, you grant Valve and its affiliates the worldwide,
512 + non-exclusive, right to use, reproduce, modify, create derivative works
513 + from, distribute, transmit, transcode, translate, broadcast, and otherwise
514 + communicate, and publicly display and publicly perform, your User
515 + Generated Content, and derivative works of your User Generated Content,
516 + for the purpose of the operation, distribution and promotion of the Steam
517 + service, Steam games or other Steam offerings. This license is granted to
518 + Valve as the content is uploaded on Steam for the entire duration of the
519 + intellectual property rights. It may be terminated if Valve is in breach
520 + of the license and has not cured such breach within fourteen (14) days
521 + from receiving notice from you sent to the attention of the Valve Legal
522 + Department at the applicable Valve address noted on this Privacy
523 + Policy page. The termination of said license does not affect the rights of
524 + any sub-licensees pursuant to any sub-license granted by Valve prior to
525 + termination of the license. Valve is the sole owner of the derivative
526 + works created by Valve from your Content, and is therefore entitled to
527 + grant licenses on these derivative works. If you use Valve cloud storage,
528 + you grant us a license to store your information as part of that service.
529 + Valve may place limits on the amount of storage you may use.
530 +
531 + If you provide Valve with any feedback or suggestions about Steam, the
532 + Content and Services, or any Valve products or services, Valve is free to
533 + use the feedback or suggestions however it chooses, without any obligation
534 + to account to you.
535 +
536 + B. Content Uploaded to the Steam Workshop
537 +
538 + Some games or applications available on Steam ("Workshop-Enabled Apps")
539 + allow you to create User Generated Content based on or using the
540 + Workshop-Enabled App, and to submit that User Generated Content (a
541 + “Workshop Contribution”) to one or more Steam Workshop web pages. Workshop
542 + Contributions can be viewed by the Steam community, and for some
543 + categories of Workshop Contributions users may be able to interact with,
544 + download or purchase the Workshop Contribution. In some cases, Workshop
545 + Contributions may be considered for incorporation by Valve or a
546 + third-party developer into a game or into a Subscription Marketplace.
547 +
548 + You understand and agree that Valve is not obligated to use, distribute,
549 + or continue to distribute copies of any Workshop Contribution and reserves
550 + the right, but not the obligation, to restrict or remove Workshop
551 + Contributions for any reason.
552 +
553 + Specific Workshop-Enabled Apps or Workshop web pages may contain special
554 + terms (“App-Specific Terms”) that supplement or change the terms set out
555 + in this Section. In particular, where Workshop Contributions are
556 + distributed for a fee, App-Specific Terms will address how revenue may be
557 + shared. Unless otherwise specified in App-Specific Terms (if any), the
558 + following general rules apply to Workshop Contributions.
559 +
560 + • Workshop Contributions are Subscriptions, and therefore you agree that
561 + any Subscriber receiving distribution of your Workshop Contribution
562 + will have the same rights to use your Workshop Contribution (and will
563 + be subject to the same restrictions) as are set out in this Agreement
564 + for any other Subscriptions.
565 + • Notwithstanding the license described in Section 6.A., Valve will only
566 + have the right to modify or create derivative works from your Workshop
567 + Contribution in the following cases: (a) Valve may make modifications
568 + necessary to make your Contribution compatible with Steam and the
569 + Workshop functionality or user interface, and (b) Valve or the
570 + applicable developer may make modifications to Workshop Contributions
571 + that are accepted for in-Application distribution as it deems
572 + necessary or desirable to enhance gameplay.
573 + • You may, in your sole discretion, choose to remove a Workshop
574 + Contribution from the applicable Workshop pages. If you do so, Valve
575 + will no longer have the right to use, distribute, transmit,
576 + communicate, publicly display or publicly perform the Workshop
577 + Contribution, except that (a) Valve may continue to exercise these
578 + rights for any Workshop Contribution that is accepted for distribution
579 + in-game or distributed in a manner that allows it to be used in-game,
580 + and (b) your removal will not affect the rights of any Subscriber who
581 + has already obtained access to a copy of the Workshop Contribution.
582 +
583 + Except where otherwise provided in App-Specific Terms, you agree that
584 + Valve’s consideration of your Workshop Contribution is your full
585 + compensation, and you are not entitled to any other rights or compensation
586 + in connection with the rights granted to Valve and to other Subscribers.
587 +
588 + C. Promotions and Endorsements
589 +
590 + If you use Steam services (e.g. the Steam Curators’ Lists or the Steam
591 + Broadcasting service) to promote or endorse a product, service or event in
592 + return for any kind of consideration from a third party (including
593 + non-monetary rewards such as free games), you must clearly indicate the
594 + source of such consideration to your audience.
595 +
596 + D. Representations and Warranties
597 +
598 + You represent and warrant to us that you have sufficient rights in all
599 + User Generated Content to grant Valve and other affected parties the
600 + licenses described under A. and B. above or in any license terms specific
601 + to the applicable Workshop-Enabled App or Workshop page. This includes,
602 + without limitation, any kind of intellectual property rights or other
603 + proprietary or personal rights affected by or included in the User
604 + Generated Content. In particular, with respect to Workshop Contributions,
605 + you represent and warrant that the Workshop Contribution was originally
606 + created by you (or, with respect to a Workshop Contribution to which
607 + others contributed besides you, by you and the other contributors, and in
608 + such case that you have the right to submit such Workshop Contribution on
609 + behalf of those other contributors).
610 +
611 + You furthermore represent and warrant that the User Generated Content,
612 + your submission of that Content, and your granting of rights in that
613 + Content does not violate any applicable contract, law or regulation.
614 +
615 + 7. DISCLAIMERS; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; NO GUARANTEES; LIMITED WARRANTY
616 +
617 + THIS SECTION 7 DOES NOT APPLY TO EU SUBSCRIBERS.
618 +
619 + • FOR NEW ZEALAND SUBSCRIBERS, THIS SECTION 7 DOES NOT EXCLUDE, RESTRICT
620 + OR MODIFY THE APPLICATION OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY THAT CANNOT BE SO
621 + EXCLUDED, RESTRICTED OR MODIFIED INCLUDING THOSE CONFERRED BY THE NEW
622 + ZEALAND CONSUMER GUARANTEES ACT 1993. UNDER THIS ACT ARE GUARANTEES
623 + WHICH INCLUDE THAT GOODS AND SERVICES ARE OF ACCEPTABLE QUALITY. IF
624 + THIS GUARANTEE IS NOT MET THERE ARE ENTITLEMENTS TO HAVE THE SOFTWARE
625 + REMEDIED (WHICH MAY INCLUDE REPAIR, REPLACEMENT OR REFUND). IF A
626 + REMEDY CANNOT BE PROVIDED OR THE FAILURE IS OF A SUBSTANTIAL
627 + CHARACTER, THE ACT PROVIDES FOR A REFUND.
628 +
629 + Prior to acquiring a Subscription, you should consult the product
630 + information made available on Steam, including Subscription description,
631 + minimum technical requirements, and user reviews.
632 +
633 + A. DISCLAIMERS
634 +
635 + VALVE AND ITS AFFILIATES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM (I) ANY
636 + WARRANTY FOR STEAM, THE CONTENT AND SERVICES, AND THE SUBSCRIPTIONS, AND
637 + (II) ANY COMMON LAW DUTIES WITH REGARD TO STEAM, THE CONTENT AND SERVICES,
638 + AND THE SUBSCRIPTIONS, INCLUDING DUTIES OF LACK OF NEGLIGENCE AND LACK OF
639 + WORKMANLIKE EFFORT. STEAM, THE CONTENT AND SERVICES, THE SUBSCRIPTIONS,
640 + AND ANY INFORMATION AVAILABLE IN CONNECTION THEREWITH ARE PROVIDED ON AN
641 + "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, "WITH ALL FAULTS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTY
642 + OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE
643 + IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
644 + OR NONINFRINGEMENT. ANY WARRANTY AGAINST INFRINGEMENT THAT MAY BE PROVIDED
645 + IN SECTION 2-312 OF THE UNITED STATES UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE AND/OR IN
646 + ANY OTHER COMPARABLE STATE STATUTE IS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED. ALSO, THERE IS
647 + NO WARRANTY OF TITLE, NON-INTERFERENCE WITH YOUR ENJOYMENT, OR AUTHORITY
648 + IN CONNECTION WITH STEAM, THE CONTENT AND SERVICES, THE SUBSCRIPTIONS, OR
649 + INFORMATION AVAILABLE IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.
650 +
651 + ANY WARRANTY AGAINST INFRINGEMENT THAT MAY BE PROVIDED IN SECTION 2-312 OF
652 + THE UNITED STATES UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE IS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED.
653 +
654 + B. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
655 +
656 + TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER VALVE, ITS
657 + LICENSORS, NOR THEIR AFFILIATES, NOR ANY OF VALVE’S SERVICE PROVIDERS,
658 + SHALL BE LIABLE IN ANY WAY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND RESULTING FROM
659 + THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE STEAM, YOUR ACCOUNT, YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS AND
660 + THE CONTENT AND SERVICES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF GOODWILL,
661 + WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER
662 + COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES. IN NO EVENT WILL VALVE BE LIABLE FOR ANY
663 + INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY
664 + DAMAGES, OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH
665 + STEAM, THE CONTENT AND SERVICES, THE SUBSCRIPTIONS, AND ANY INFORMATION
666 + AVAILABLE IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, OR THE DELAY OR INABILITY TO USE THE
667 + CONTENT AND SERVICES, SUBSCRIPTIONS OR ANY INFORMATION, EVEN IN THE EVENT
668 + OF VALVE’S OR ITS AFFILIATES’ FAULT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT
669 + LIABILITY, OR BREACH OF VALVE’S WARRANTY AND EVEN IF IT HAS BEEN ADVISED
670 + OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THESE LIMITATIONS AND LIABILITY
671 + EXCLUSIONS APPLY EVEN IF ANY REMEDY FAILS TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE RECOMPENSE.
672 +
673 + BECAUSE SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR THE
674 + LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, IN SUCH
675 + STATES OR JURISDICTIONS, EACH OF VALVE, ITS LICENSORS, AND ITS AFFILIATES’
676 + LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
677 +
678 + C. NO GUARANTEES
679 +
680 + NEITHER VALVE NOR ITS AFFILIATES GUARANTEE CONTINUOUS, ERROR-FREE,
681 + VIRUS-FREE OR SECURE OPERATION AND ACCESS TO STEAM, THE CONTENT AND
682 + SERVICES, YOUR ACCOUNT AND/OR YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS(S) OR ANY INFORMATION
683 + AVAILABLE IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.
684 +
685 + D. LIMITED WARRANTY
686 +
687 + CERTAIN HARDWARE PURCHASED FROM VALVE IS SUBJECT TO A LIMITED WARRANTY,
688 + [OR DEPENDING ON YOUR LOCATION, A STATUTORY WARRANTY] WHICH IS DESCRIBED
689 + IN DETAIL HERE.
690 +
691 + 8. AMENDMENTS TO THIS AGREEMENT
692 +
693 + PLEASE NOTE: If you are a consumer with place of residence in Germany, a
694 + different version of Section 8 applies to you, which is available
695 + here.
696 +
697 + This Agreement may at any time be mutually amended by your explicit
698 + consent to changes proposed by Valve. Furthermore, Valve may amend this
699 + Agreement (including any Subscription Terms or Rules of Use) unilaterally
700 + at any time in its sole discretion. In this case, you will be notified by
701 + e-mail of any amendment to this Agreement made by Valve within 60 (sixty)
702 + days before the entry into force of the said amendment. You can view the
703 + Agreement at any time at http://www.steampowered.com/. Your failure
704 + to cancel your Account within thirty (30) days after the entry into force
705 + of the amendments, will constitute your acceptance of the amended terms.
706 + If you don’t agree to the amendments or to any of the terms in this
707 + Agreement, your only remedy is to cancel your Account or to cease use of
708 + the affected Subscription(s). Valve shall not have any obligation to
709 + refund any fees that may have accrued to your Account before cancellation
710 + of your Account or cessation of use of any Subscription, nor shall Valve
711 + have any obligation to prorate any fees in such circumstances.
712 +
713 + 9. TERM AND TERMINATION
714 +
715 + A. Term
716 +
717 + The term of this Agreement (the "Term") commences on the date you first
718 + indicate your acceptance of these terms, and will continue in effect until
719 + otherwise terminated in accordance with this Agreement.
720 +
721 + B. Termination by You
722 +
723 + You may cancel your Account at any time. You may cease use of a
724 + Subscription at any time or, if you choose, you may request that Valve
725 + terminate your access to a Subscription. However, Subscriptions are not
726 + transferable, and even if your access to a Subscription for a particular
727 + game or application is terminated, the original activation key will not be
728 + able to be registered to any other account, even if the Subscription was
729 + obtained in a retail store. Access to Subscriptions purchased as a part of
730 + a pack or bundle cannot be terminated individually, termination of access
731 + to one game within the bundle will result in termination of access to all
732 + games purchased in the pack. Your cancellation of an Account, or your
733 + cessation of use of any Subscription or request that access to a
734 + Subscription be terminated, will not entitle you to any refund, including
735 + of any Subscription fees. Valve reserves the right to collect fees,
736 + surcharges or costs incurred prior to the cancellation of your Account or
737 + termination of your access to a particular Subscription. In addition, you
738 + are responsible for any charges incurred to third-party vendors or content
739 + providers before your cancellation.
740 +
741 + C. Termination by Valve
742 +
743 + Valve may cancel your Account or any particular Subscription(s) at any
744 + time in the event that (a) Valve ceases providing such Subscriptions to
745 + similarly situated Subscribers generally, or (b) you breach any terms of
746 + this Agreement (including any Subscription Terms or Rules of Use). In the
747 + event that your Account or a particular Subscription is terminated or
748 + cancelled by Valve for a violation of this Agreement or improper or
749 + illegal activity, no refund, including of any Subscription fees or of any
750 + unused funds in your Steam Wallet, will be granted.
751 +
752 + D. Survival of Terms
753 +
754 + Sections 2(C), 2(D), 2(F), 2(G), 3(A), 3(B), 3(D), 3(H), and 5 - 12 will
755 + survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement.
756 +
757 + 10. APPLICABLE LAW/JURISDICTION
758 +
759 + For All Customers Outside the European Union:
760 +
761 + You agree that this Agreement shall be deemed to have been made and
762 + executed in the State of Washington, U.S.A., and any dispute arising
763 + hereunder shall be resolved in accordance with the law of Washington
764 + excluding the law of conflicts and the Convention on Contracts for the
765 + International Sale of Goods. Subject to Section 11 (Dispute
766 + Resolution/Binding Arbitration/Class Action Waiver) below, you agree that
767 + any claim asserted in any legal proceeding by you against Valve shall be
768 + commenced and maintained exclusively in any state or federal court located
769 + in King County, Washington, having subject matter jurisdiction with
770 + respect to the dispute between the parties and you hereby consent to the
771 + exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. In any dispute arising under this
772 + Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to attorneys’ fees and
773 + expenses.
774 +
775 + For EU Customers:
776 +
777 + In the event of a dispute relating to the interpretation, the performance
778 + or the validity of the Subscriber Agreement, an amicable solution will be
779 + sought before any legal action. You can file your complaint at
780 + http://help.steampowered.com. In case of failure, you may, within one
781 + year of the failed request, file an online complaint on the European
782 + Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution website:
783 + https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/odr/main/index.cfm?event=main.home.chooseLanguage,
784 + or on the European Consumer Center’s website:
785 + http://www.europe-consommateurs.eu/index.php?id=2514.
786 +
787 + In the event that out-of-court dispute resolutions fail, the dispute may
788 + be brought before the competent courts.
789 +
790 + 11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION/BINDING ARBITRATION/CLASS ACTION WAIVER
791 +
792 + This Section 11 shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable
793 + law. If the laws of your jurisdiction prohibit the application of some or
794 + all of the provisions of this Section notwithstanding Section 10
795 + (Applicable Law/Jurisdiction), such provisions will not apply to you. IN
796 + PARTICULAR, IF YOU LIVE IN THE EUROPEAN UNION, THIS SECTION 11 DOES NOT
797 + APPLY TO YOU.
798 +
799 + Most user concerns can be resolved by use of our Steam support site at
800 + https://support.steampowered.com/. If Valve is unable to resolve your
801 + concerns and a dispute remains between you and Valve, this Section
802 + explains how the parties have agreed to resolve it.
803 +
804 + YOU AND VALVE AGREE TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS BETWEEN US IN
805 + INDIVIDUAL BINDING ARBITRATION. THAT INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, ANY
806 + CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO: (i) ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP
807 + BETWEEN US; (ii) THIS AGREEMENT; OR (iii) YOUR USE OF STEAM, YOUR ACCOUNT
808 + OR THE CONTENT AND SERVICES. IT APPLIES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH CLAIMS
809 + ARE BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, UNFAIR COMPETITION,
810 + MISREPRESENTATION OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.
811 +
812 + However, this Section does not apply to the following types of claims or
813 + disputes, which you or Valve may bring in any court with jurisdiction: (i)
814 + claims of infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights,
815 + including such claims seeking injunctive relief; and (ii) claims related
816 + to or arising from any alleged unauthorized use, piracy or theft.
817 +
818 + This Section does not prevent you from bringing your dispute to the
819 + attention of any federal, state, or local government agencies that can, if
820 + the law allows, seek relief from us for you.
821 +
822 + An arbitration is a proceeding before a neutral arbitrator, instead of
823 + before a judge or jury. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in
824 + court, and provides more limited discovery. It follows different rules
825 + than court proceedings, and is subject to very limited review by courts.
826 + The arbitrator will issue a written decision and provide a statement of
827 + reasons if requested by either party. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND VALVE
828 + ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND TO HAVE A TRIAL BEFORE A JUDGE
829 + OR JURY.
830 +
831 + You and Valve agree to make reasonable, good faith efforts to informally
832 + resolve any dispute before initiating arbitration. A party who intends to
833 + seek arbitration must first send the other a written notice that describes
834 + the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and sets forth the relief
835 + sought. If you and Valve do not reach an agreement to resolve that claim
836 + or dispute within 30 days after the notice is received, you or Valve may
837 + commence an arbitration. Written notice to Valve must be sent via postal
838 + mail to: ATTN: Arbitration Notice, Valve Corporation, P.O. Box 1688,
839 + Bellevue, WA 98004.
840 +
841 + The Federal Arbitration Act applies to this Section. The arbitration will
842 + be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
843 + Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where applicable, the AAA’s
844 + Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes, as modified by
845 + this Agreement, both of which are available at http://www.adr.org.
846 + The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement.
847 +
848 + The AAA will administer the arbitration. It may be conducted through the
849 + submission of documents, by phone, or in person in the county where you
850 + live or at another mutually agreed location.
851 +
852 + If you seek $10,000 or less, Valve agrees to reimburse your filing fee and
853 + your share of the arbitration costs, including your share of arbitrator
854 + compensation, at the conclusion of the proceeding, unless the arbitrator
855 + determines your claims are frivolous or costs are unreasonable as
856 + determined by the arbitrator. Valve agrees not to seek its attorneys’ fees
857 + or costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines your claims are
858 + frivolous or costs are unreasonable as determined by the arbitrator. If
859 + you seek more than $10,000, the arbitration costs, including arbitrator
860 + compensation, will be split between you and Valve according to the AAA
861 + Commercial Arbitration Rules and the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for
862 + Consumer Related Disputes, if applicable.
863 +
864 + YOU AND VALVE AGREE NOT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS OR
865 + REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR COLLECTIVE
866 + ARBITRATION, EVEN IF AAA’s PROCEDURES OR RULES WOULD OTHERWISE ALLOW ONE.
867 + THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY
868 + SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT OF THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM.
869 + You and Valve also agree not to seek to combine any action or arbitration
870 + with any other action or arbitration without the consent of all parties to
871 + this Agreement and all other actions or arbitrations.
872 +
873 + If the agreement in this Section not to bring or participate in a class or
874 + representative action, private attorney general action or collective
875 + arbitration should be found illegal or unenforceable, you and Valve agree
876 + that it shall not be severable, that this entire Section shall be
877 + unenforceable and any claim or dispute would be resolved in court and not
878 + in collective arbitration.
879 +
880 + Notwithstanding this Section, you have the right to litigate any dispute
881 + in small claims court, if all the requirements of the small claims court,
882 + including any limitations on jurisdiction and the amount at issue in the
883 + dispute, are satisfied.
884 +
885 + 12. MISCELLANEOUS
886 +
887 + Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, in the event
888 + that any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court or other
889 + tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provision
890 + will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining
891 + portions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. This
892 + Agreement, including any Subscription Terms, Rules of Use, the Valve
893 + Privacy Policy, and the Valve Hardware Warranty Policy, constitutes and
894 + contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the
895 + subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior oral or written agreements.
896 + You agree that this Agreement is not intended to confer and does not
897 + confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties to
898 + this Agreement.
899 +
900 + Valve’s obligations are subject to existing laws and legal process and
901 + Valve may comply with law enforcement or regulatory requests or
902 + requirements notwithstanding any contrary term.
903 +
904 + You agree to comply with all applicable import/export laws and
905 + regulations. You agree not to export the Content and Services or Hardware
906 + or allow use of your Account by individuals of any terrorist supporting
907 + countries to which encryption exports are at the time of exportation
908 + restricted by the U.S. Bureau of Export Administration. You represent and
909 + warrant that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national
910 + or resident of any such prohibited country.
911 +
912 + This Agreement was last updated on August 31st, 2017 ("Revision Date"). If
913 + you were a Subscriber before the Revision Date, it replaces your existing
914 + agreement with Valve or Valve SARL on the day that you explicitly accept
915 + it. If you prefer to continue using Steam and your existing Subscriptions
916 + under the version of the Agreement in effect prior to the Revision Date,
917 + you are free to do so.
