BATTLEYE END USE LICENSE AGREEMENT: To install BattlEye, you must accept the terms of the BattlEye End-User License Agreement (BattlEye EULA). The BattlEye EULA as of Aug 24, 2021 is reproduced below for your reference. For the most current information, please refer to https://www.battleye.com/downloads/EULA.txt
The BattlEye End-User License Agreement is made between you (the "Licensee") and BattlEye Innovations e.K. (the "Licensor"). The terms of this Agreement apply to all current and future versions and updates of BattlEye anti-cheat software ("BattlEye"). By installing, enabling, or using BattlEye, Licensee agrees with all the terms of this Agreement. Licensor reserves all rights not specifically granted and transferred to Licensee. Licensee understands, acknowledges, and agrees with the following: Licensor grants Licensee a non-exclusive and non-transferable license to use BattlEye for non-commercial purposes only. Licensee therefore does not own BattlEye, Licensor remains the owner of BattlEye. Licensor provides BattlEye on an "as is" basis without warranty of any kind. Licensor neither guarantees the correct, error-free functioning of BattlEye nor is Licensor responsible for any damage caused by the use of BattlEye. Licensee may not decompile, disassemble, reverse-engineer, modify or redistribute BattlEye in any way. BattlEye will automatically, without notice to Licensee, download and install updates from time to time. BattlEye may scan Licensee's entire random access memory (RAM), and any game-related and system-related files and folders on Licensee's system using cheat-program-identifying algorithms, report results of such algorithms to other connected computers and/or to Licensor and store such information for the sole purpose of preventing and detecting the use of cheat programs. BattlEye only scans and/or reports data which absolutely needs to be scanned and/or reported to meet this purpose. BattlEye may further report and store Licensee's Internet Protocol address, game account name and identifier, in-game nickname, and system-related and hardware-related information including, but not limited to, device identifiers and hardware serial numbers. Licensor values Licensee's privacy and does its utmost to protect it at all times. BattlEye does not report any personally identifiable information or personal data except for any information/data specifically mentioned herein. Licensor stores all information collected by BattlEye on servers located in Europe and/or the US. Licensor may share the information with its partners and/or affiliates. Licensee acknowledges that the invasive nature of BattlEye is necessary to meet its purpose and goal of preventing and detecting cheat programs. Licensor is allowed to terminate the license at any time for any reason and without notice to Licensee. This License Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Licensor and Licensee and supersedes any prior statements.
BattlEye Privacy Statement: In order to serve its purpose of preventing and detecting the use of cheat software with the goal of ensuring a fair game environment, BattlEye may process the following information from you: IP address, Game identifiers (e.g. in-game name, account ID, etc.), Hardware device information and identifiers (e.g. serial numbers), Information about the running operating system, Information about game-related and operating-system-related files and memory, Information about running processes, drivers and other executable code, File names included in other information listed here, which might also contain your operating system user name, BattlEye follows a data minimization policy that ensures that data is only being stored when necessary, i.e. when BattlEye finds information that may potentially indicate the use of cheat software. As a result, BattlEye generally will not store any information on most users. BattlEye may store the information for the entire duration of the provision of its services for the game. You may contact Bungie at any time to exercise your rights in relation to this data processing. See BattlEye's Privacy Policy, https://www.battleye.com/privacy-policy/, and Bungie's Privacy Policy, https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Legal/PrivacyPolicy, for more information.

LIMITED WARRANTY: Bungie warrants to the original consumer purchaser of this Program that the physical media on which this Program is stored, and any physical accessories, (together the “Goods”) will be free from defects in material and workmanship for 90 days from the date of purchase. If the Goods are found defective within 90 days of original purchase, Bungie agrees to replace, free of charge, any such defective Goods within such period, upon its receipt of the Program (postage paid, with proof of the date of purchase) so long as the Goods are still being manufactured by Bungie. If the Goods are no longer available, Bungie retains the right to substitute similar goods of equal or greater value. This warranty is limited to the Goods, as originally provided by Bungie, and is not applicable to normal wear and tear. This warranty shall not be applicable, and shall be void, if the defect has arisen through abuse, mistreatment, or neglect. Any implied warranties prescribed by statute are expressly limited to the 90-day period described above. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH HEREIN, THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.
For customers in EU and other countries: This warranty is provided without prejudice to your statutory rights as a consumer which will always prevail. Bungie will only be responsible for any loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of the breach of this Agreement by Bungie or its negligence. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or exclude our liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence, fraudulent misrepresentation; or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by English law. This section shall prevail over all other parts of this Agreement.
LIMITATION ON DAMAGES: IN NO EVENT WILL BUNGIE BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM POSSESSION, USE, OR MALFUNCTION OF THE PROGRAM, INCLUDING DAMAGES TO PROPERTY, LOSS OF GOODWILL, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL INJURIES, EVEN IF BUNGIE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. BUNGIE’S LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE ACTUAL PRICE PAID FOR THE LICENSE TO USE THIS PROGRAM. SOME STATES/COUNTRIES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS AND/OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS AND/OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.

Bungie may terminate this Agreement at any time for any reason or no reason. In such event, you must destroy all copies of the Program and all of its component parts. The License Limitations, limitation on damages, limited warranty, indemnity, and miscellaneous provisions shall survive termination of this Agreement.
INJUNCTION: Because Bungie would be irreparably damaged if the terms of this Agreement were not specifically enforced, you agree that Bungie shall be entitled, without bond, other security, or proof of damages, to appropriate equitable remedies with respect to breaches of this Agreement, in addition to such other remedies as Bungie may otherwise have under applicable laws.
INDEMNITY: You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Bungie, its partners, affiliates, licensors, contractors, officers, directors, employees, and agents harmless from all damages, losses and expenses arising directly or indirectly from your breach of this Agreement and/or your acts and omissions in using the Program pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

If any future changes to this Agreement are unacceptable to you or cause you to no longer be in compliance with this Agreement, you may terminate this Agreement and receive a refund in accordance with this Agreement. Your installation and use of any of Bungie’s updates, patches or modifications to the Program or your continued use of the Program following notice of changes to this Agreement will demonstrate your acceptance of any and all such changes. If any future modifications are implemented as a “click to accept” agreement, you may not be able to continue using the Program unless you affirmatively accept the modified Agreement.
LIVE CONTENT: “Live Content" consists of content provided to Program users (e.g., unlockable content, gear, live events, activities, destinations, accounts, stats, virtual assets, virtual currencies, codes, and achievements) in connection with use of the Program. While the Program may allow you to “earn”, "buy", or "purchase" Live Content within or in connection with gameplay, you do not in fact own or have any property interest in the Live Content. Unless otherwise specified in writing, any Live Content that you receive is licensed to you as set forth herein, and you shall have no ownership right thereto. Unless specifically permitted by Bungie, you may not, sell, lend, rent, trade, or otherwise transfer any Live Content. Live Content may be altered, removed, deleted, or discontinued by Bungie at any time (e.g., upon termination of this Agreement and/or cessation of online support for the Program), even if you have not “used” or “consumed” the Live Content prior to alteration, removal, deletion, or discontinuation. Some Live Content, including without limitation, activities, maps, and gear, may be made available to players for only a limited time. Live Content has no monetary value and does not constitute property of any type.
Without limiting the above, Live Content may include virtual coins, points or other virtual currencies (“Virtual Currency”). By purchasing or otherwise acquiring Virtual Currency, you obtain a limited license (which is revocable by Bungie at any time unless otherwise required by applicable laws) to access and select from other Live Content. Virtual Currency has no monetary value and does not constitute currency or property of any type. Virtual Currency may be redeemed for other Live Content only, if at all. Virtual Currency cannot be sold or transferred, and cannot be exchanged for cash or for any other goods and services, except for other Live Content, where applicable. Subject to applicable local law, Virtual Currency is non-refundable. You are not entitled to a refund or any other compensation such as Live Content for any unused Virtual Currency and unused Virtual Currency is non-exchangeable.
There may be Live Content (should you choose to purchase it) which will require you to make a payment with real money, the amount of which will be set out in the Program. Live Content purchases are non-refundable, and you acknowledge that this is the case and that you will have no right to change your mind and cancel (sometimes known as a 'cooling off' right) once your purchase is complete. Depending on your platform, any Live Content purchased, may be purchased from your platform provider and such purchase will be subject to your platform provider’s Terms of Service and User Agreement. Please check usage rights for each purchase as these may differ from item to item. Unless otherwise shown, content available in any game store has the same age rating as the game.
For SIEA users: When accessing the Program on a Sony PlayStation® product, purchase and use of items are subject to Sony’s Network Terms of Service and User Agreement. This online service has been sublicensed to you by Sony Interactive Entertainment America.
For SIEE users: When accessing the Program on a Sony PlayStation® product, any content purchased in an in-game store will be purchased from Sony Interactive Entertainment Network Europe Limited (“SIENE”) and be subject to PlayStation™Network Terms of Service and User Agreement which is available on the PlayStation®Store.

For residents in North America-- CLASS ACTION WAIVER:
READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
The Agreement prior to August 17, 2021 included a BINDING ARBITRATION clause that, for residents of the United States or users of the Program in the United States, allowed either party to the Agreement to initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims arising out of the Agreement, subject to JAMS. “Arising out of the Agreement” means, specifically, claims relating to the interpretation, formation, performance, or breach of the Agreement, the parties’ relationship with each other, and/or your use of the Program. The following provisions of the Agreement are in effect as of August 17, 2021, except that additional terms related to BINDING ARBITRATION remain in effect until October 16, 2021. The additional terms include a 30-day opt-out right relating to BINDING ARBITRATION, which you can review in the prior version of the Agreement https://assets.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blte410e3b15535c144/blt9597f6b19732f1a1/611447c95780ae139064381e/SLA_Bungie.net.pdf.
These CLASS ACTION WAIVER provisions apply to you if you are domiciled in and/or acquired and use the Program in the United States. These provisions may also apply to you if you are domiciled in and/or acquired and use the Program from outside the United States. See JURISDICTION AND APPLICABLE LAW below for details.
Class Action Waiver: The parties agree that any claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including its interpretation, formation, performance and breach), the parties' relationship with each other and/or your use of the Program shall be finally settled by litigation conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU, ON THE ONE HAND, AND BUNGIE, ON THE OTHER HAND, AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR THEIR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
Exception - Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims: Either party may bring an action in state or federal court that only asserts claims for patent infringement or invalidity, copyright infringement, moral rights violations, trademark infringement, and/or trade secret misappropriation. Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction.
30 Day Right to Opt Out: You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the class action waiver provisions set forth in the "Class Action Waiver" paragraphs above by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address: Bungie, Inc., 550 106th Ave NE #207, Bellevue, Washington 98004, Attn: Legal. The notice must be sent within 30 days of purchasing the Program (or if no purchase was made, then within 30 days of the date on which you first access or use the Program and agree to these terms). If you opt-out of these provisions, Bungie also will not be bound by them.
Changes to this Section: Bungie will provide 60-days’ notice of any changes to these sections regarding “CLASS ACTION WAIVER.” Changes will become effective on the 60th day and will apply prospectively only to any claims arising after the 60th day.
MISCELLANEOUS: This Agreement is the complete agreement concerning this license between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and representations between them. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected. To the extent permitted by applicable law: (i) this Agreement shall be construed under Washington law as such law is applied to agreements between Washington residents entered into and to be performed within Washington, except as governed by federal law, and (ii) you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in King County, Washington.

Licensee understands, acknowledges, and agrees with the following: Licensor grants Licensee a non-exclusive and non-transferable license to use BattlEye for non-commercial purposes only. Licensee therefore does not own BattlEye, Licensor remains the owner of BattlEye. Licensor provides BattlEye on an "as is" basis without warranty of any kind. Licensor neither guarantees the correct, error-free functioning of BattlEye nor is Licensor responsible for any damage caused by the use of BattlEye. Licensee may not decompile, disassemble, reverse-engineer, modify or redistribute BattlEye in any way. BattlEye will automatically, without notice to Licensee, download and install updates from time to time. BattlEye may scan Licensee's entire random access memory (RAM), and any game-related and system-related files and folders on Licensee's system using cheat-program-identifying algorithms, report results of such algorithms to other connected computers and/or to Licensor and store such information for the sole purpose of preventing and detecting the use of cheat programs. BattlEye only scans and/or reports data which absolutely needs to be scanned and/or reported to meet this purpose. BattlEye may further report and store Licensee's Internet Protocol address, game account name and identifier, in-game nickname, and system-related and hardware-related information including, but not limited to, device identifiers and hardware serial numbers. Licensor values Licensee's privacy and does its utmost to protect it at all times. BattlEye does not report any personally identifiable information or personal data except for any information/data specifically mentioned herein. Licensor stores all information collected by BattlEye on servers located in Europe and/or the US. Licensor may share the information with its partners and/or affiliates. Licensee acknowledges that the invasive nature of BattlEye is necessary to meet its purpose and goal of preventing and detecting cheat programs. Licensor is allowed to terminate the license at any time for any reason and without notice to Licensee. This License Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Licensor and Licensee and supersedes any prior statements.

LIVE CONTENT: “Live Content" consists of content provided to Program users (e.g., unlockable content, gear, live events, activities, destinations, accounts, stats, virtual assets, virtual currencies, codes, and achievements) in connection with use of the Program. While the Program may allow you to “earn”, "buy", or "purchase" Live Content within or in connection with gameplay, you do not in fact own or have any property interest in the Live Content. Unless otherwise specified in writing, any Live Content that you receive is licensed to you as set forth herein, and you shall have no ownership right thereto. Unless specifically permitted by Bungie, you may not, sell, lend, rent, trade, or otherwise transfer any Live Content. Live Content may be altered, removed, deleted, or discontinued by Bungie at any time (e.g., upon termination of this Agreement and/or cessation of online support for the Program), even if you have not “used” or “consumed” the Live Content prior to alteration, removal, deletion, or discontinuation. Some Live Content, including without limitation, activities, maps, and gear, may be made available to players for only a limited time. Live Content has no monetary value and does not constitute property of any type.
Without limiting the above, Live Content may include virtual coins, points or other virtual currencies (“Virtual Currency”). By purchasing or otherwise acquiring Virtual Currency, you obtain a limited license (which is revocable by Bungie at any time unless otherwise required by applicable laws) to access and select from other Live Content. Virtual Currency has no monetary value and does not constitute currency or property of any type. Virtual Currency may be redeemed for other Live Content only, if at all. Virtual Currency cannot be sold or transferred, and cannot be exchanged for cash or for any other goods and services, except for other Live Content, where applicable. Subject to applicable local law, Virtual Currency is non-refundable. You are not entitled to a refund or any other compensation such as Live Content for any unused Virtual Currency and unused Virtual Currency is non-exchangeable.
There may be Live Content (should you choose to purchase it) which will require you to make a payment with real money, the amount of which will be set out in the Program. Live Content purchases are non-refundable, and you acknowledge that this is the case and that you will have no right to change your mind and cancel (sometimes known as a 'cooling off' right) once your purchase is complete. Depending on your platform, any Live Content purchased, may be purchased from your platform provider and such purchase will be subject to your platform provider’s Terms of Service and User Agreement. Please check usage rights for each purchase as these may differ from item to item. Unless otherwise shown, content available in any game store has the same age rating as the game.

For residents in North America-- CLASS ACTION WAIVER:
READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
The Agreement prior to August 17, 2021 included a BINDING ARBITRATION clause that, for residents of the United States or users of the Program in the United States, allowed either party to the Agreement to initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims arising out of the Agreement, subject to JAMS. “Arising out of the Agreement” means, specifically, claims relating to the interpretation, formation, performance, or breach of the Agreement, the parties’ relationship with each other, and/or your use of the Program. The following provisions of the Agreement are in effect as of August 17, 2021, except that additional terms related to BINDING ARBITRATION remain in effect until October 16, 2021. The additional terms include a 30-day opt-out right relating to BINDING ARBITRATION, which you can review in the prior version of the Agreement https://assets.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blte410e3b15535c144/blt9597f6b19732f1a1/611447c95780ae139064381e/SLA_Bungie.net.pdf.
These CLASS ACTION WAIVER provisions apply to you if you are domiciled in and/or acquired and use the Program in the United States. These provisions may also apply to you if you are domiciled in and/or acquired and use the Program from outside the United States. See JURISDICTION AND APPLICABLE LAW below for details.
Class Action Waiver: The parties agree that any claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including its interpretation, formation, performance and breach), the parties' relationship with each other and/or your use of the Program shall be finally settled by litigation conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU, ON THE ONE HAND, AND BUNGIE, ON THE OTHER HAND, AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR THEIR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
Exception - Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims: Either party may bring an action in state or federal court that only asserts claims for patent infringement or invalidity, copyright infringement, moral rights violations, trademark infringement, and/or trade secret misappropriation. Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction.
30 Day Right to Opt Out: You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the class action waiver provisions set forth in the "Class Action Waiver" paragraphs above by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address: Bungie, Inc., 550 106th Ave NE #207, Bellevue, Washington 98004, Attn: Legal. The notice must be sent within 30 days of purchasing the Program (or if no purchase was made, then within 30 days of the date on which you first access or use the Program and agree to these terms). If you opt-out of these provisions, Bungie also will not be bound by them.
Changes to this Section: Bungie will provide 60-days’ notice of any changes to these sections regarding “CLASS ACTION WAIVER.” Changes will become effective on the 60th day and will apply prospectively only to any claims arising after the 60th day.
MISCELLANEOUS: This Agreement is the complete agreement concerning this license between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and representations between them. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected. To the extent permitted by applicable law: (i) this Agreement shall be construed under Washington law as such law is applied to agreements between Washington residents entered into and to be performed within Washington, except as governed by federal law, and (ii) you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in King County, Washington.
