|
||
|
||

|
||
and Valve Corporation, a Washington corporation,(“Valve”) with offices located
|
||
at 10400 NE 4th Street, Suite 1400, Bellevue, WA 98004, USA.
|
||
|
||
THIS DOCUMENT DESCRIBES A CONTRACT BETWEEN YOU AND VALVE. PLEASE READ IT BEFORE
|
||
DOWNLOADING OR USING THE STEAMWORKS SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT KIT (THE “SDK”). BY
|
||
DOWNLOADING AND/OR USING THE SDK YOU INDICATE YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THIS
|
||
AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT DOWNLOAD AND/OR USE THE SDK.
|
||
|
||
Whereas, Valve is the developer of an online platform titled "Steam" that
|
||
provides online distribution services as well as a number of additional online
|
||
services designed to be embedded in computer games and application software,
|
||
including, but not limited to, user authentication, in-app purchasing and
|
||
trading, leaderboards, matchmaking, stats and achievements (the “Steamworks
|
||
Services”) and the SDK;
|
||
|
||
Whereas, Licensee wishes to develop a game or application software designed to
|
||
take advantage of the Steamworks Services (the "Licensee Software"); and
|
||
|
||
Whereas, Licensee wishes to receive, and Valve wishes to disclose to Licensee,
|
||
the SDK, and other information as deemed appropriate by Valve, all on the
|
||
terms set forth herein;
|
||
|
||
Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises made herein, the
|
||
parties agree as follows:
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||

|
||
the Licensee Software; and
|
||
|
||
(b) reproduce and distribute the part of the SDK provided inside the folder
|
||
named redistributable_bin (the "SDK Redistributables") along with the Licensee
|
||

|
||
|
||
1.2 Updates. Valve may from time to time, in its sole discretion, provide
|
||
updates, error corrections, and future versions of the SDK to Licensee. Upon

|
||
part of the SDK, as applicable, under this Agreement.

|
||
herein.
|
||
|
||
2. Ancillary Obligations.
|
||
|
||
2.1 No obligation to provide services. Nothing herein shall be construed as

|
||
the Licensee Software.

|
||
grant Licensee any right to use any trademarks or trade names of Valve or its
|
||

|
||
Licensee will refrain from any action or communication that can be incorrectly
|
||
interpreted as a cooperation or partnership between Valve and Licensee.
|
||
|
||
2.4 No reverse engineering. Licensee will not take any steps to reverse
|
||
engineer the functionality of the SDK or develop software to replace the SDK's
|
||
functionality. If Licensee develops software to interact with the Steamworks
|
||
Services, such software shall not communicate with the Steamworks Services
|
||

||
provided by the SDK Redistributables.
