This SDK License (the "Agreement") is made by and between you (the "Licensee")
and Valve Corporation, a Washington corporation,(“Valve”) with offices located

THIS DOCUMENT DESCRIBES A CONTRACT BETWEEN YOU AND VALVE. PLEASE READ IT BEFORE

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

named redistributable_bin (the "SDK Redistributables") along with the Licensee
Software in object code form.
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

1.3 Reservation of Rights. Valve reserves all rights not explicitly granted
herein.
2. Ancillary Obligations.
2.1 No obligation to provide services. Nothing herein shall be construed as

2.2 Indemnity. Licensee hereby agrees that it is solely responsible for any
and all Licensee Software and Licensee's creation, distribution, and promotion
thereof. Licensee shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Valve, 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
directly but always through the application programming interface (API)
provided by the SDK Redistributables.
