LIMITED USE SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT
This Limited Use Software License Agreement (the "Agreement") is a legal agreement between

installation of this game program entitled QUAKE II, by loading or running the game program, or by
placing or copying the game program onto your computer hard drive, computer RAM or other storage,
you are agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
1. Grant of License for Software. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, ID
grants to you the non-exclusive and limited right to use the software game program entitled QUAKE
II in executable or object code form only (the "Software") for recreational purposes only. The
term "Software" includes all elements of the Software such as data files, images appearing in the
Software and screen displays. You are not receiving any ownership or proprietary right, title or
interest in or to the Software or the copyright, trademarks, or other rights related thereto. For
purposes of this section, "use" means loading the Software into RAM and/or onto computer hard
drive, as well as installation of the Software on a hard disk or other storage device.
You agree that the Software will not be shipped, transferred or exported into any country in
violation of the U.S. Export Administration Act (or any other law governing such matters) by you or
any one at your direction and that you will not utilize and will not authorize anyone to utilize,
in any other manner, the Software in violation of any applicable law. The Software may not be
exported or reexported into (or to a national or resident of) any country to which the U.S. has
embargoed goods or to anyone or into any country who/which are prohibited, by applicable law, from
receiving such property.
2. Additional Levels. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, ID grants to
you the non-exclusive and limited right to create additional levels (the "Levels") which are
operable with the Software. You may include within the Levels certain textures and other images
(the "ID Images") from the Software. You agree that the Levels will not be shipped, transferred or
exported into any country in violation of the U.S. Export Administration Act (or any other law
governing such matters) by you or anyone at your direction and that you will not utilize and will
not authorize anyone to utilize, in any other manner, the Levels in violation of any applicable
law. The Levels may not be downloaded or otherwise exported or re-exported into (or to a national
or resident of) any country to which the U.S. has embargoed goods or to anyone or into any country
who/which are prohibited by applicable law, from receiving such property.
You shall not rent, sell, lease, lend, offer on a pay-per-play basis or otherwise commercially
exploit or commercially distribute the Levels. You are only permitted to distribute for free,
without any cost or charge, the Levels to other endusers. As noted below, in the event you
commercially distribute or commercial exploit the Levels or commit any other breach of this
Agreement, your licenses, as granted in this Agreement, shall automatically terminate, without
notice. You hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless ID and Activision and ID's and
Activision's respective officers, employees, directors, agents, licensees (excluding you),
sublicensees (excluding you), successors and assigns from and against all losses, lawsuits,
damages, causes of action and claims relating to and/or arising from the Levels and/or the

5. Intellectual Property Rights. The Software, including the ID Images, and all printed
material accompanying the Software (the "Printed Materials") and all copyrights, trademarks and all
other conceivable intellectual property rights related to the Software, the Printed Materials and
the ID Images are owned by ID and are protected by United States copyright laws, international
treaty provisions and all applicable law, such as the Lanham Act. You must treat the Software, the
Printed Materials and the ID Images like any other copyrighted material, as required by 17 U.S.C.,
§101 et seq. and other applicable law. You agree to use your best efforts to see that any user of
the Software licensed hereunder, the Printed Materials or the Levels complies with this Agreement.
You agree that you are receiving a copy of the Software, including the ID Images, and the Printed
Material by license only and not by sale and that the "first sale" doctrine of 17 U.S.C. §109 does
not apply to your receipt or use of the Software, the Printed Materials or your inclusion of any ID
Images in the Levels. This section 5. shall survive the cancellation or termination of this
Agreement.
6. No ID Warranties. ID DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT
NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WITH
RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE, THE PRINTED MATERIALS AND THE ID IMAGES. ID DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE
OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE OR THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL MEET YOUR
SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS. ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS SUCH AS PRESENTATIONS, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, DO
NOT CONSTITUTE WARRANTIES BY ID AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON. This section 6. shall survive the
cancellation or termination of this Agreement.
7. Limited Activision Warranty. Activision warrants to the original consumer purchaser of
the Software that the recording medium on which the Software is recorded will be free from defects
in material and workmanship for 90 days from the date of purchase. If the recording medium is
found defective within 90 days of original purchase, Activision agrees to replace, free of charge,
any product discovered to be defective within such period upon its receipt of the product, postage
paid, with proof of the date of purchase, as long as the Software is still being manufactured by
Activision. In the event that the Software is no longer available, Activision retains the right to
substitute a similar program of equal or greater value. This warranty is limited to the recording
medium containing the Software as originally provided by Activision and is not applicable to normal
wear and tear. This warranty shall not be applicable and shall be void if the defect has arisen
through abuse, mistreatment, or neglect.
EXCEPT AS SET FORTH ABOVE, THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER ORAL OR
WRITTEN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE OR NONINFRINGEMENT, AND NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR CLAIMS OF ANY KIND SHALL BE BINDING ON
OR OBLIGATE ACTIVISION.
When returning the Software for warranty replacement, the original product disks must be sent only
in a protective packaging and include: (1) a photocopy of your dated sales receipt; (2) your name
and return address typed or clearly printed; (3) a brief note describing the defect, the problem(s)
you are encountered and the system on which you are running the Software; (4) if you are returning
the Software after the 90-day warranty period, but within one year after the date of purchase,
please include check or money order for $10 U.S. (A$17 for Australia, or £10.00 for Europe)

IN ANY CASE, NEITHER ID, ACTIVISION, NOR ANY OF ID'S OR ACTIVISION'S RESPECTIVE OFFICERS,

OR ASSIGNS SHALL BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE OR OTHER SIMILAR DAMAGES ARISING FROM BREACH OF WARRANTY, BREACH
OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR OTHER LEGAL THEORY EVEN IF ID, ACTIVISION OR
THEIR RESPECTIVE AGENT(S) HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR EVEN IF SUCH

in 48. C.F.R. §§ 227.7202-1 through 227.7204.
10. General Provisions. Neither this Agreement nor any part or portion hereof shall be
assigned or sublicensed by you. ID and Activision each may assign its respective rights under this
Agreement in the assigning party's sole discretion. Should any provision of this Agreement be held
to be void, invalid, unenforceable or illegal by a court, the validity and enforceability of the
other provisions shall not be affected thereby. If any provision is determined to be
unenforceable, you agree to a modification of such provision to provide for enforcement of the
provision's intent, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Failure of ID or Activision to
enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver of such
provision or of the right to enforce such provision. If you fail to comply with or breach any term
or condition of this Agreement, YOUR LICENSES AND THIS AGREEMENT ARE AUTOMATICALLY TERMINATED,
WITHOUT NOTICE. In the event this Agreement is terminated, you shall have no right to use the
Software, the Printed Materials or the Levels, in any manner, and you shall immediately destroy all
copies of the Software, the Printed Materials and the Levels in your possession, custody or
control.
