- 2. THE SIMPLE RULES REGARDING THE SALE OF USER DEVELOPED QUAKE II LEVELS
- AND/OR UTILITIES:
-
- -- User-developed/user-modified maps & utilities can only work with the full
- version of Quake II. (Just to be crystal clear on this point: user-
- developed/user-modified maps & utilities cannot work with the demo or any
- version of Quake II other than the full version.)
-
- -- Maps/utilities that are made for Quake II cannot be rented, sold or
- commercially exploited by any other means. The full version Limited Use
- Software License Agreement will give you the limited right to develop
- maps/utilities that use id data. This limited right does not include the
- right for anyone to sell anything that includes id data or any other id
- property.
-
- 3. COMMERCIAL EXPLOITATION LICENSE FOR QUAKE II
-
- If you are interested in trying to make money using the full version of Quake
- II (not allowed using the demo) you must sign our easy-to-digest Commercial
- Exploitation License. This license is to be used by folks desiring to use
- the full version of Quake II to set up pay-per-play (location based orarcade
- centers) stations, for profit online servers, or other applications where
- the actual code or graphics from the full version of Quake II is used for
- profit. Of course, id does not give any warranty or representations as to
- whether you will make any profit. You assume 100% of the risk.
-
- This is a license that allows you to run Quake II for a profit through a cer-
- tain monthly gross profit range without payment to id Software other that
- the initial $500 processing fee. If your Quake II-related business becomes
- successful the agreement brings id into the revenue stream.
-
- Basic terms of the commercial exploitation license:
-
- -- License grants a commercial exploitation right for the full version of
- Quake II as a whole without payment to id Software (except for the $500
- processing fee) so long as the monthly gross revenue from Quake II
- $5,000.00 or below. You must make a nonrefundable and nonrecoupable pay-
- ment of $500 for the costs of processing the license.
-
- -- License provides for a 12.5% royalty to be paid to id software in months
- where the licensee's Quake II related monthly gross revenue is above
- $5,000.00. For those months, you will be obligated to pay on 100% of your
- monthly gross revenue.
-
- -- Royalty is based off net income. The term "Net Income" shall mean all
- revenue received by you as Licensee from the commercial use of Quake II,
- less only actual, reasonable and necessary documented costs relating
- directly to such use.
-
- -- License expressly prohibits commercial exploitation via the sale (retail
- or otherwise) of any versions of Quake II.
-
- -- License expressly prohibits advertising/marketing use of our copyrighted,
- trademarked, or other properties.
-
- -- This license is not intended for use by folks developing Quake II maps
- and/or utilities. Please reference the section titled "The simple rules
- for Quake II map/utility distribution:" for info on this subject.
-
- If you would like enter into the agreement, please type a written explana-
- tion of how you intend to commercially exploit Quake II and send your check
- or money order (please do not send cash) to:

- We will then review your request and, if acceptable, will mail you two
- originals of the agreement for execution and return. You have no rights
- until such time as id executes and delivers to you an original of the
- Commercial Exploitation License. If we choose not to accept your request,
- we will refund your $500 processing fee.

- live with the terms spelled out in the license do not engage in any com-
- mercial exploitation or other use of Quake II and do not send us the money
