> 
> 
> 1.        Grant of Licenses.
> 
> 
> A. Personal Use Limited Installation License. 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 each of your computers solely for your personal use. 
> 
> B. Limited Redistribution License.  Valve hereby grants, and you accept, a limited, terminable,
> non-exclusive license to reproduce and distribute an unlimited number of copies of the Program;
> provided that the following conditions are met: 
> 
>     1. you must distribute the Program in its entirety; 
> 
>     2. you may not modify the Program, except that, in the case of the Linux version of the
>     Program, you may modify scripts and other documentary and graphical files, but not any files
>     containing the term “bootstrap” in the file name, provided that you do not modify any icons,
>     change any copyright or other notices, or alter this or any other license agreement that is
>     included with the Program, and provided further that any modifications you make are
>     identified by you as modifications from the original Program provided by Valve; 
> 
>     3. you may repackage the Program and distribute it with another software program, provided
>     that you do not integrate the Program in any way with that other software program, or
>     combine the Program with that other software program in a manner that would require you to
>     distribute the Program under any open source or other license terms different from these
>     terms.  4. you may not charge any separate fee or receive any compensation attributable to
>     the Program; 
> 
>     5. you must include this License Agreement provided with the Program and ensure that it will
>     display and be required to be accepted by the end user in the same manner as is required by
>     the Program in the form received by you; and 
> 
>     6. you must preserve in all copies of the Program all copyright and legal notices that are
>     attached to the copy of the Program received by you.  
>     
> C.  Restrictions/Reservation of Rights.  Except as expressly set forth elsewhere in this License
> Agreement, 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 from, 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. You may not package
> the Program with, or pre-install the Program on, any hardware, without obtaining a separate
> license from us.  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, rent, lease or license the Program to others without the prior written consent of Valve. The
> Program is licensed, not sold. Your license confers no title or ownership in the Program or
> copies thereof.
> 
>     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.  We may terminate
>     your rights set forth in Section 1.B. of this License Agreement at any time upon notice to
>     you.  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 5-7 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.  
> 
>     5.         WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; NO GUARANTEES.  DISCLAIMERS OF
>     WARRANTY AND LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THE STEAM AGREEMENT, AND/OR ELSEWHERE IN
>     THE STEAM AGREEMENT, APPLY TO YOUR USE OF THE PROGRAM.  AS NOTED IN THE STEAM AGREEMENT, FOR
>     EU CUSTOMERS, SUCH PROVISIONS DO NOT REDUCE YOUR MANDATORY CONSUMERS’ RIGHTS UNDER THE LAWS
>     OF YOUR LOCAL JURISDICTION.  
> 
>     6.        Warranties/Indemnities Relating to Redistribution.  If you choose to redistribute
>     the Program, you represent and warrant that any modifications you make to the Program, if
>     any, and your particular combination of the Program with any other software or hardware, do
>     not infringe on any third-party intellectual property rights.  You agree to defend,
>     indemnify and hold harmless Valve, its licensors, and its and their affiliates from all
>     liabilities, claims and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that arise from or in
>     connection with your redistribution of the Program or your breach of this License Agreement.
>     Valve reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of
>     any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you. In that event, you shall have no
>     further obligation to provide indemnification to Valve in that matter. 
> 
>     7.        Miscellaneous. Provisions relating to applicable law and jurisdiction, and dispute
>     resolution, set forth in the Steam Agreement shall apply to any disputes arising under this
>     Agreement.  This License Agreement and the Steam Agreement terms incorporated herein may be
>     amended, altered or modified at any time by Valve in Valve’s sole discretion. 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, including the Steam
> Agreement.
