|
||
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
|
||

|
||
|
||

|
||
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;
|
||
|
||

|
||
parties agree as follows:
|
||

||

|
||

|
||
engineer the functionality of the SDK or develop software to replace the SDK's
