LICENSE AGREEMENT
1. Limited Installation License.
A. Valve hereby grants, and by installing the Program you thereby accept, a limited, non-exclusive license and right to install one (1) copy of the Program on a computer. In order to use the Program you will have to obtain an account with the Steam service and accept the terms of the Steam subscriber agreement ("Steam Agreement"). By installing the Program, you agree that your future use of the Program will be subject to the terms of the Steam Agreement. A copy of the Steam Agreement is available at www.steampowered.com/agreement. The Steam Agreement will be displayed to you when you obtain an account with the Steam service. The Program is licensed, not sold. Your license confers no title or ownership in the Program or copies thereof.
B. You may not, in whole or in part: copy, photocopy, reproduce, translate, reverse engineer (with the exception of specific circumstances where such act is permitted by law), derive source code, modify, disassemble, decompile, or create derivative works based on the Program; remove any proprietary notices or labels on the Program; or attempt in any manner to circumvent any security measures designed to control access to the Program. The Program is licensed to you as a single product. Its component parts may not be separated for use on more than one computer. You may not sell, grant a security interest in or transfer reproductions of the Program to other parties in any way, nor to rent, lease or license the Program to others without the prior written consent of Valve.
2. Ownership. All title, ownership rights and intellectual property rights in and to the Program and any and all copies thereof (including but not limited to any titles, computer code, themes, objects, characters, character names, stories, dialog, catch phrases, locations, concepts, artwork, animations, sounds, musical compositions, audio-visual effects, methods of operation, moral rights, any related documentation, and "applets" incorporated into the Program) are owned by Valve or its licensors. The Program is protected by the copyright laws of the United States, international copyright treaties and conventions and other laws. All rights are reserved. The Program contains certain licensed materials and Valve's licensors may protect their rights in the event of any violation of this Agreement.
3. Termination. This License Agreement is effective until terminated. You may terminate the License Agreement at any time by destroying the Program. Valve may, at its discretion, terminate this License Agreement in the event that you fail to comply with the terms and conditions contained herein. This License Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event that you fail to comply with the terms and conditions contained herein. In such event, you must immediately destroy the Program. The provisions of Sections 2, 3, and 5-8 will survive any termination of the Agreement.
4. Export Controls. The Program may not be re-exported, downloaded or otherwise exported into (or to a national or resident of) any country to which the U.S. has embargoed goods, or to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department's list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Commerce Department's Table of Denial Orders. By installing the Program, you are agreeing to the foregoing and you are representing and warranting that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any such country or on any such list.

Some states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply.
7. Equitable Remedies. You hereby agree that Valve would be irreparably damaged if the terms of this License Agreement were not specifically enforced, and therefore you agree that Valve shall be entitled to appropriate equitable remedies with respect to breaches of this License Agreement, in addition to such other remedies as Valve may otherwise have available to it under applicable laws. In the event any litigation is brought by either party in connection with this License Agreement, the prevailing party in such litigation shall be entitled to recover from the other party all the costs, attorneys' fees and other expenses incurred by such prevailing party in the litigation.

Miscellaneous.The terms of this paragraph do not apply to European Union consumers in the sense of Art. 5 of the Convention on the Law Applicable to Contractual Obligations opened for signature in Rome on 19 June 1980 (Rome Convention, 80/934/EEC) and national legislation based thereon. You agree that this Agreement shall be deemed to have been made and executed in the State of Washington, and any dispute arising hereunder shall be resolved in accordance with the law of Washington. You agree that any claim asserted in any legal proceeding by you against Valve shall only be commenced and maintained in any state or federal court located in King County, Washington, and you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts. In any dispute arising under this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to attorneys' fees and expenses. This License Agreement may be amended, altered or modified only by an instrument in writing, specifying such amendment, alteration or modification, executed by both you and Valve. In the event that any provision of this License 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 License Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. This License Agreement and the Steam Agreement constitute and contain the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior oral or written agreements.
You hereby acknowledge that you have read and understand the foregoing License Agreement and agree that the action of installing the Program is an acknowledgment of your agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of the License Agreement contained herein.
