End User License Agreement aka Our Cursed Pact

Hello and welcome, mortal soul.

So you wish to embark on an adventure in the Forgotten Realms...

We know you've already given up some coin to get this far, and for that of course we're grateful. Yet you must also know that every deal with a being such as ourselves comes with additional terms and conditions. Let us lay them out for you.

1. INTRODUCTION

First a proper introduction: any reference to "Larian Studios", "We", or "Us" in this Pact is to be understood as a reference to Larian Studios Games ltd., or any of its affiliated entities.

2. GRAVITY

This end user license agreement (the "Pact") constitutes a legal agreement between you, the end-user, and Larian Studios.

This Pact has legal consequences, so to enter into this Pact, you must be of legal age in your country of residence. If you are not, your parent or legal guardian will need to consent and approve you playing.

If you agree to this Pact, you may install or run one copy of the game software (the "Game") on your device for purposes of playing the Game, whether or not in conjunction with the Game service provided by Us (the "Service"). Subject to your agreement to and your continuing compliance with all terms and conditions of this Pact, We hereby grant, and you hereby accept, a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, and royalty-free license, to install or run the Game on your computer or device and use the Game in conjunction with the Service.

3. TECH REQUIREMENTS

4. PACT OBLIGATIONS

5. ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS IN ELDRITCH LAW

Time for a pause, as We understand by now your mind is longing for respite, having endured the above numerous provisions of legal jargon.

So, setting aside the weighty tomes of somber legality, embracing a lighter path of ancient customs and mystical decrees that governed the fair folk, please be wary that in accepting this Pact, you agree to refrain from striking a deal with another creature of Fey, Infernal, or otherwise Eldritch origin. Should you nonetheless not be able to withstand the seductive melody whispered by their malevolent terms, We reserve the right to sever all ties professional or social with the end user, and seek appropriate remedy from the Morninglord.

6. OWNERSHIP
Larian Studios owns or has licensed all rights and title in and to the Game and the Service, and all data and content included therein, including without limitation accounts, titles, computer code, themes, objects, currencies, artifacts, characters, character names, character likenesses, character inventories and profile information, location, location names, stories, storylines, dialogue, catch phrases, concepts, artwork, graphics, structural and landscape designs, animations, sounds, musical recordings and compositions, audiovisual effects, methods of operation, moral rights, applets, chat transcripts, recordings and broadcasts of games and any related documentation (collectively the "Game Content"). The Game Content is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws, treaties, and conventions.

The Game Content includes materials licensed from third parties which may seek to enforce their rights in the event you violate the terms of this Pact.

7. CONTENT

The Game has received minimum age ratings (e.g. PEGI, ESRB) based on its content and contains scenes and images of violence, sexuality, as well as strong language that some may find disturbing. If you are sensitive to such content or such content is a trigger for you, please be aware of this before you begin playing the Game.

The Game may contain flashing lights and images, which may induce epileptic seizures. If you or anyone in your household has an epileptic condition, please consult your doctor before playing. If you experience dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of awareness, disorientation, any involuntary movement, or convulsions while playing, immediately discontinue use and similarly consult your doctor.

8. FAN WORK

You are permitted to create fan work regarding the Game according to our Fan Content Policy (which can be found at https://larian.com/fan-content-policy). You will be solely responsible for the fan work you create and make public, and in doing so you will make sure to represent yourself in a truthful manner, and not as an official representative of Larian Studios.

That being said, there is no fiend in the Realms that doesn't have a soft spot for idolatry, and admittedly We're no different. So send Us your best work and know that mortals who amuse Us often get better perks.

9. WARRANTIES

You will be given an opportunity to review and accept any revised Pact which will supersede and replace the current Pact and will be effective upon your acceptance. If you accept the revised Pact and your account remains in good standing, then you will be able to continue playing the Game subject to the terms of the revised Pact. If you decline to accept the revised Pact, any revisions to the Pact are unacceptable to you, or you cannot comply with any term of the revised Pact, then you will no longer be permitted to play the Game and We reserve the right to terminate this Pact. Your continued use of the Game following any revision to the Pact constitutes your complete and irrevocable acceptance of all Pact revisions. If the Game requires an update at the time you launch the Game, then you will have the opportunity to review and accept or reject the current version of the Pact, at that time.

12. TRANSFER

You may make a one-time permanent transfer of all your rights to install and use the Game to another end-user provided that (a) the technical protections measures used by the Game support such transfer, (b) you also transfer this Pact and all copies of the Game (including your back-up copies to the extent you have made one), and (c) you retain no copies of the Game, upgrades, updates or prior versions. Such transfer may not include access to any online feature, service or functionality, or right thereto, unlocked or downloadable content that are limited to a user account and/or that are otherwise not transferable.
