SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT
Activision is committed to bringing you the best possible computer games.
In pursuit of this goal, we created the Dark Reign Construction Kit so you
can develop additional game missions and related material, for your personal
use and for you to share with fellow gamers free of charge. This is a powerful
new technology and we are excited about making it available to you. New
technology, however, brings new challenges--and new responsibilities. Some
people may try to use the Construction Kit to create new game missions and
material only for commercial sale. This hurts the entire gaming community, the
developers of Dark Reign, and Activision. In light of this situation, we are
forced to take steps to protect our mutual interests and insure that a small
group of people do not take advantage of the Construction Kit at our expense.
The license agreement below is designed to insure that the Construction Kit
is utilized exclusively for personal use, without charge to others.
IMPORTANT - READ CAREFULLY: DARK REIGN: THE FUTURE OF WAR (THE "PROGRAM")
CONTAINS A MISSION CONSTRUCTION KIT ("CONSTRUCTION KIT") THAT ALLOWS YOU TO
CREATE CUSTOMIZED NEW GAME MISSIONS AND OTHER RELATED GAME MATERIALS FOR
PERSONAL USE IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROGRAM ("NEW GAME MATERIALS"). THE USE OF
THE CONSTRUCTION KIT IS SUBJECT TO THE SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS SET FORTH BELOW.
BY CLICKING ON THE "ACCEPT" BUTTON, YOU ARE CONSENTING TO BE BOUND BY AND ARE
BECOMING A PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT WITH ACTIVISION, INC. ("ACTIVISION"). IF
YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, CLICK ON THE "DO NOT ACCEPT"
BUTTON AND RETURN TO THE GAME.
LIMITED USE LICENSE.
Activision grants you the non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited right to
use the Construction Kit for the purpose of creating New Game Materials solely
and exclusively for personal use. For purposes of this Agreement, "New Game
Materials" represent computer data that modifies, substitutes for or adds new
materials to the materials currently contained in the Product, thus modifying
or replacing one or more existing game missions and other constituent elements
provided in the Product. You shall not create New Game Materials, or tools
that have no substantial purpose other than to contribute to the creation of
New Game Materials, except as expressly permitted pursuant to this Agreement.
All rights not specifically granted under this Agreement are reserved by
Activision. The Construction Kit is licensed, not sold. Your license and the
use of the Construction Kit confers no title or ownership in the Construction
Kit or the New Game Materials created using the Construction Kit and should
not be construed as a sale of any rights in the Construction Kit or such New
Game Materials.
OWNERSHIP
All title, ownership rights and intellectual property rights in and to the
Construction Kit and the New Game Materials created by you using the
Construction Kit are owned by Activision or its licensors and are protected by
the copyright laws of the United States, international copyright treaties and
conventions and other laws. In the event that you should, by operation of
law, be deemed to retain any rights in any New Game Materials created by you,
you, by using the Construction Kit, hereby irrevocably assign, without any
further consideration and regardless of any use by Activision of such New Game
Materials, all of your rights and interest, if any, in and to such New Game
Materials to Activision. You also hereby grant Activision an irrevocable,
perpetual, exclusive, fully paid and royalty-free license to exercise any
rights, including moral rights, to any and all aspects of the New Game
Materials. You agree that Activision shall have the full and complete right to
package, publish, print, copy, promote, market, distribute, transfer and
display the New Game Materials created by you and prepare derivative works
based upon such New Game Materials, and any derivative works thereof, anywhere
throughout the world.
LICENSE CONDITIONS
* You agree that as a condition to Activision's consent to allow you to use
the Construction Kit, you will not use or allow third parties to use the
Construction Kit and the New Game Materials created by you for commercial
purposes, including but not limited to selling, renting, leasing, licensing,
distributing, or otherwise transferring the ownership of such New Game
Materials, whether on a stand alone basis or packaged in combination with the
New Game Materials created by others, through any and all distribution
channels, including, without limitation, retail sales and on-line electronic
distribution. You agree not to solicit, initiate or encourage any proposal or
offer from any person or entity to create any New Game Materials for
commercial distribution. You agree to promptly inform Activision in writing of
any instances of your receipt of any such proposal or offer.
* If you decide to make available the use of the New Game Materials created by
you to your friends, family, co-workers and other fellow gamers, you agree to
do so solely without charge.
* You shall create New Game Materials only if such New Game Materials can be
used exclusively in combination with the retail version of the Product. The
New Game Materials may not be designed to be used as a stand-alone product.
* New Game Materials shall not contain modifications to any COM, EXE or DLL
files or to any other executable Product files.
* New Game Materials must not contain any illegal, obscene or defamatory
materials, materials that infringe rights of privacy and publicity of third
parties or (without appropriate irrevocable licenses granted specifically for
that purpose) any trademarks, copyright-protected works or other properties of
third parties.
* You will not use the Construction Kit to reverse engineer, extract source
code, modify, decompile or disassemble the Program, in whole or in part.
TERMINATION
Without prejudice to any other rights of Activision, this Agreement will
terminate automatically if you fail to comply with its terms and conditions.
In such event, you must immediately discontinue the use of the Construction
Kit and any New Game Materials created using the Construction Kit.
INJUNCTION
Because Activision would be irreparably damaged if the terms of this Agreement
were not specifically enforced, you agree that Activision 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 Activision may otherwise have under applicable laws.
INDEMNITY
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold Activision, its partners, affiliates,
contractors, officers, directors, employees and agents harmless from all
damages, losses and expenses arising directly or indirectly from your acts and
omissions to act in using the Construction Kit pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement.
MISCELLANEOUS
This Agreement represents the complete agreement concerning this license
between the parties and supersedes all prior.
