11\. Governing Law. If you reside in a Member State of the European Union: (i)
the laws of England, excluding its conflicts-of-law rules, govern this License
and your use of the Application; and (ii) you expressly agree that exclusive
jurisdiction for any claim or action arising out of or relating to this
License and/or your use of the Application shall be the Courts of England, and
you expressly consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of such courts.
If you reside elsewhere: (i) the laws of the State of California, excluding
its conflicts-of-law rules, govern this License and/or your use of the
Application; and (ii) you expressly agree that for claims and disputes not
subject to section 14, below, exclusive jurisdiction for any claim or action
arising out of or relating to this License and/or your use of the Application
shall be the federal or state courts that govern San Mateo County, California,
and you expressly consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of such
courts. Please note that your conduct may also be subject to other local,

shall not apply to this License or to any dispute or transaction arising out
of this License.
12\. Export. You agree to abide by U.S. and other applicable export control
laws and agree not to transfer the Software to a foreign national, or national

you are not a person with whom EA is prohibited from transacting business
under applicable law.
13\. Entire Agreement. This License constitutes the entire agreement between
you and EA with respect to the Software and supersedes all prior or
contemporaneous understandings regarding such subject matter. No amendment to
or modification of this License will be binding unless made in writing and
signed by EA. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part
of either party, any right or any power hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or power
hereunder preclude further exercise of any other right hereunder. In the event
of a conflict between this License and any applicable purchase or other terms,
the terms of this License shall govern.
14\. Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration.
PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
A. Most of your concerns can be resolved quickly and to your satisfaction by
logging into the EA customer support interface with your Account at
http://support.ea.com/. In the unlikely event that EA cannot resolve a concern
to your satisfaction (or if EA cannot resolve a concern it has with you after
attempting to do so informally), then you and EA agree to be bound by the
following procedure to resolve any and all disputes between us. This provision
applies to all consumers to the fullest extent allowable by law, but expressly
excludes residents of Quebec, Russia and the Member States of the European
Union. This agreement is intended to be interpreted broadly. It covers any and
all disputes between us (oDisputeso), including without limitation:
(a) claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship
between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation
or any other legal theory;
(b) claims that arose before this Agreement or any prior agreement (including,
but not limited to, claims relating to advertising);
(c) claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation
in which you are not a member of a certified class; and
(d) claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement.
The only disputes that are not covered by this Section are the following:
1) a claim to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your
or EAĺs (or any of EAĺs licensorsĺ) intellectual property rights;
2) a claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, or
unauthorized use;
3) In addition, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent either party from
initiating a small claims court action.
By entering into this Agreement, you and EA expressly waive the right to a
trial by jury or to participate in a class action. With respect to this
Section 16, References to "EA," "you," and "us" include our respective
subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest,
successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or
beneficiaries of services or Software under this or prior agreements between
us. This EULA evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the
Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this
Section. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this EULA.
B. Informal Negotiations/Notice of Dispute. You and EA agree to first attempt
to resolve any Dispute informally before initiating arbitration. Such
negotiations commence upon receipt of written notice from one person to the
other (oNotice of Disputeo). Notices of Dispute must: (a) include the full
name and contact information of the complaining party; (b) describe the nature
and basis of the claim or dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief
sought ("Demand"). EA will send its Notice of Dispute to your billing address
(if you provided it to us) or to the email address you provided to us. You
will send your Notice of Dispute to: Electronic Arts Inc., 209 Redwood Shores
Parkway, Redwood City CA 94065, ATTENTION: Legal Department.
C. Binding Arbitration. If you and EA are unable to resolve a Dispute through
informal negotiations within 30 days after receipt of the Notice of Dispute,
either you or EA may elect to have the Dispute finally and exclusively
resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall
be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS PROVISION,
YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The
arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration
Rules of the American Arbitration Association (oAAAo) and, where appropriate,
the AAAĺs Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (oAAA
Consumer Ruleso), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org.
Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be
governed by the AAA Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer
Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, or if
you send EA a notice to the Notice of Dispute address above indicating that
you are unable to pay the fees required to initiate an arbitration, then EA
will promptly pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The arbitration may be
conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online.
The arbitrator shall make a decision in writing, and shall provide a statement
of reasons if requested by either party. The arbitrator must follow applicable
law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. You and
EA may litigate in court to compel arbitration, to stay proceeding pending
arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award
entered by the arbitrator.
D. Restrictions. You and EA agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the
Dispute between EA and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law:
(a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other arbitration proceeding; (b)
there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class
action-basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right
or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative
capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons. YOU AND EA
AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS
INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED
CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and EA agree
otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims,
and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class
proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the
entirety of this dispute resolution/arbitration provision shall be null and
void.
E. Location. If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration will take
place at any reasonable location convenient for you. For residents outside the
United States, arbitration shall be initiated in the County of San Mateo,
State of California, United States of America, and you and EA agree to submit
to the personal jurisdiction of that court, in order to compel arbitration, to
stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter
judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
F. Recovery and Attorneysĺ Fees. If the arbitrator rules in your favor on the
merits of any claim you bring against EA and issues you an award that is
greater in monetary value than EA's last written settlement offer made before
final written submissions are made to the arbitrator, then EA will:
(a) Pay you 150% of your arbitration award, up to $5,000 over and above your
arbitration award; and
(b) Pay your attorney, if any, the amount of attorneys' fees, and reimburse
any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that you or your
attorney reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing, and pursuing your
claim in arbitration ("the attorney premium").
The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and
reimbursement of fees, expenses, and the alternative payment and the attorney
premium at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party
made within fourteen (14) days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.
The right to attorneys' fees and expenses discussed above supplements any
right to attorneys' fees and expenses you may have under applicable law,
although you may not recover duplicative awards of attorneys' fees or costs.
EA waives any right it may have to seek an award of attorneysĺ fees and
expenses in connection with any arbitration between us.
G. Limitation on Arbitratorĺs Authority. The arbitrator may award declaratory
or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and
only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's
individual claim.
H. Changes to Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to
the contrary, we agree that if EA makes any future change to this arbitration
provision (other than a change to the Notice of Dispute address), you may
reject any such change by sending us written notice within thirty (30) days of
the change to the Notice of Dispute address provided above. By rejecting any
future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us
in accordance with the language of this provision.

GOG.COM USER AGREEMENT
## 1\. ABOUT THIS AGREEMENT
1.1 This Agreement is a contract between you (we will further call you just
“you”) and GOG sp. z o.o., Jagiellońska 74, 03-301 Warsaw, Poland (we will
further call ourselves “GOG” or just “us”) and applies to www.GOG.COM, your
GOG user account, GOG GALAXY application (including GOG GALAXY store), any
games or videos or other content or services which you purchase or access via
us, the GOG web forums, GOG customer and technical support and other services
we provide to you (we'll just call all this “GOG services” for short). Here we
set out your rights and obligations as a recipient of GOG services.
1.2. Additional terms may apply to GOG services and in such a case we will
post them for your acceptance. For example, if you would like to use the GOG
GALAXY application, the relevant terms will be posted for your acceptance
before you start using these services.
1.3 Also, when we're talking about games, in-game content, virtual items or
currency or GOG videos or other content or services which you can purchase or
access via GOG services, well just call them “GOG games” or “GOG videos”
respectively and when we talk about them all together they are “GOG content”.
1.4 We didnt want to make this document too long, but keep in mind that by
accepting our User Agreement you also accept:
* our [ Privacy Policy ](https://support.gog.com/hc/articles/212632109) \- which explains what data we collect from you and how we protect it,
* [ GOG Code of Conduct ](https://support.gog.com/hc/articles/16033977811613) which is a set of rules you need to follow as part of our community,
* [ Infringing Content and Copyright Policy ](https://support.gog.com/hc/articles/16033687971613) which explains how you can report unlawful content on GOG and what happens when you do.
1.5 GOG works with trusted partners, including our related company CD PROJEKT
S.A., developers and publishers, payment providers, customer service software
providers and others (“Partners”) more on them later in this Agreement.
1.6 If you're over 18, then welcome! If you're between 16 and 18, before we
extend an equally warm welcome, please ask your parent or guardian to review
and approve this Agreement on your behalf (because in some countries people
under a certain age cannot legally enter into contracts like this Agreement).
If youre not 16 yet you cannot have a GOG account or use the GOG services
because legally we cannot handle personal data of children without a special
parental or guardians permission (but your parents/guardians are welcome to
sign up themselves).
## 2\. USING GOG SERVICES AND GOG CONTENT
2.1 We give you and other GOG users the personal right (known legally as a
'license') to use GOG services and to download, access and/or stream
(depending on the content) and use GOG content. This license is for your
personal use. We can stop or suspend this license in some situations, which
are explained later on.
2.2 When you buy, access or install GOG games, you might have to agree to
additional contract terms with the developer/publisher of the game (e.g. they
might ask you to agree to a game specific End User License Agreement). If
there is any inconsistency or dispute between those EULAs and this
Agreement, then this Agreement wins.
2.3 With GOG videos, you can also stream purchased video content or download
it to watch the way you want.
2.4 Using certain third-party scripts is recommended for your full use of GOG
functionality and, although that usage is optional, we cannot promise full
service performance without them.
2.5 A quick word about GOG GALAXY, which is our (optional) application which
not only allows you to buy and access GOG content but also provides cool
features like unified game library, and one friends list across platforms,
online multiplayer, achievements, cross-platform chat, game-time tracking,
cloud-saves and game overlay. You can learn more about
it[here](https://www.gog.com/galaxy).
2.6 In some parts of GOG services, we use recommendation systems to present
you the content that you are most likely to be interested in. You can learn
where we use them and how they work[here](https://support.gog.com/hc/en-
us/articles/16034228157213), including what main parameters we use and how to
influence them.
## 3\. GOG ACCOUNT
3.1 To buy GOG content from GOG services, and in some cases to play/use GOG
content where our partners require use of a GOG account, you will need to set
up a GOG account. This will involve creating a password (which is encrypted so
we cant access it) and a username, plus giving us (for identification
purposes) your email address. Please make sure your login credentials are kept
secure and your account is used properly. In your GOG account settings you can
also optionally set your country of residence, birthday and avatar. Our
Privacy Policy gives more details about the information we collect from you
and how we use it and protect it.
It's[here](https://support.gog.com/hc/articles/212632109).
3.2 You can use your GOG account to set up a public profile accessible by
other people. You can also use your GOG account to connect with other GOG
users. Please act sensibly and remember you are responsible for your own
actions.
3.3 Your GOG account and GOG content are personal to you and cannot be shared
with, sold, gifted or transferred to anyone else. Your access to and use of
them is subject to GOGs [ Privacy Policy
](https://support.gog.com/hc/articles/212632109) and [ Code of Conduct
](https://support.gog.com/hc/articles/16033977811613) which are updated or
amended when necessary.
3.4. Access to and use of the games purchased from different platforms (i.e.
with what we call Keyless Access), including their minimum system
requirements is governed by respective third-party platform policies and (as
applicable) additional contract terms with the developer/publisher of the game
(e.g. they might ask you to agree to a game specific End User License
Agreement). It may require having a third-party platform account. These
platforms may roll out patches or updates for your purchased games.
## 4\. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
4.1 Because GOG gives you access to many different services and games created
at different times and via different platforms, we cannot give you one set of
system requirements for all GOG services or GOG content. Please make sure your
computer and Internet connection are good enough to use GOG services and play
GOG games and videos.
4.2 What we can tell you is that using any GOG game will require a computer,
equipped with a mouse and keyboard (touchscreen controls are not supported),
with an appropriate operating system (please refer to the relevant GOG product
page) with all service packs and important updates installed on it. All GOG
games should be natively installed on a computer that meets or exceeds the
minimum hardware and software specifications shown on the GOG product page.
GOG games are not tested on virtual machine software and therefore we do not
support playing through them.
4.3 For GOG videos, please make sure your video player supports the videos
format specified in the GOG product page.
4.4 If you have questions about system requirements, please contact
us[here](https://support.gog.com/hc/en-
us/requests/new?category=info&product=gog). Just so we're clear, you are
responsible for making sure you have sufficient Internet access to download
purchased GOG games or GOG videos from us or to stream GOG videos and that
your system can play GOG games and watch GOG videos.
## 5\. BETAS
5.1 As GOG develops, we may offer you optional access to 'beta' versions of
GOG software or services (e.g. new versions of the GOG GALAXY application made
available prior to its general release) or GOG content.
Here are the rules:
a) We (or any applicable publisher/partner) will set the conditions and
requirements for your beta access. Providing and maintaining a beta, and who
can use a beta, is at our discretion.
b) You may be required to go through a registration process or other
requirements to access the beta (and this may include you meeting eligibility
criteria).
c) Betas will be time-limited and there may be extra contract requirements.
d) The beta may involve temporary or permanent server/progress/content wipes,
resets or amendments.
e) The beta may be subject to confidentiality restrictions (which will be
notified to you in advance if so).
f) You may be invited to participate in a feedback process regarding the beta
this is totally optional but would be really valued.
g) The beta is for your personal use and enjoyment, so you must not sell, loan
or otherwise transfer it to anyone else.
h) The point of you getting beta access is to allow you to try something new,
but we would expect you to recognise that it will not be complete yet.
Therefore betas will be provided 'as is' without any additional promises from
us or any liability on us if it is not complete or does not work fully or
causes issues. Betas may not be totally feature-complete and there may be
feature changes, modifications or removals during the beta.
## 6\. PAYING FOR GOG CONTENT AND GETTING REFUNDS
### Paying for GOG content
6.1 After you decide that you like a GOG game, GOG video or other GOG content,
you usually will need to pay for it before you can access it (though we do
have some free content too!). You can pay in different ways: (i) using a valid
debit or credit card; or (ii) using PayPal or any other authorized payment
provider. Remember to keep your payment details secure.
6.2 When you use a payment method to buy GOG content, we're relying on your
promise that you're able to use that method. You are responsible for any
purchases made using your GOG account or payment method and you agree to the
pricing, payment and billing policies applicable to them, as notified to you
at the time of purchase. All payments are non-refundable and non-transferable
except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
6.3 You can always pay for GOG content in US Dollars. However if you happen to
live in countries where your local currency is supported (see our Support
section [ here ](https://support.gog.com/hc/en-
us/articles/360001947034?product=gog) for details), you will be able to pay in
your local currency. You might have to pay a currency conversion charge if you
are not paying in your home currency and some banks might also add other kinds
of transaction fees.
6.4. All prices are visible in the product catalog page. Theyre inclusive of
taxes like VAT, if applicable. You should also expect some sales taxes/VAT to
be added to your price at checkout, if required by your local laws (f.ex. in
US or Canada).
### GOG Wallet
6.5 GOG offers users a digital account balance called the “GOG Wallet” in
connection with your user account, which you can use to make purchases of GOG
content on dedicated GOG services. Funds can be added to it in two ways: (i)
using your chosen payment method; or (ii) by us as part of our Voluntary
Refund Policy (see link[here](https://support.gog.com/hc/en-
us/articles/360006129837?product=galaxy)) in which case we may offer refunds
to GOG Wallet that you can use to get a replacement GOG game or other GOG
content. The GOG Wallet is made available subject to rules which are set out
on our GOG Wallet page[here](https://support.gog.com/hc/en-
us/articles/360001941953-FAQ-GOG-Wallet?product=galaxy).
### GOG Bonus Codes
6.6. We may also issue usually time-limited bonus codes which give you free or
reduced price access to GOG content (well call them “Bonus Codes”). If you
receive Bonus Codes when you buy GOG content but later decide to return that
GOG content, then we think its fair for you to return the Bonus Codes too.
Therefore, we will terminate it or, if it has been redeemed for a GOG game,
that game will be removed from your account.
### Direct to Account Distribution
6.7 We have a direct to account distribution feature (well call it GOG
Direct to Account) where distribution platforms who partner with us would be
able to sell games or other content to you, where you could choose for that
game/content to be automatically activated within your GOG account, without
the need to redeem any codes. Just to be clear, the whole purchase process is
handled by the other platform, so in case of any issues with the purchase
process please speak with them directly. For this particular matter therefore,
we cannot offer you Our Voluntary Refund Policy (because GOG didnt sell the
game/content). Of course, anything connected to our platforms services is
still our responsibility.
## 7\. REFUNDS AND RETURNS
### Statutory refund rights
7.1. If you are a resident of the European Union or other applicable
jurisdictions (excluding the USA), then you have the statutory right to
withdraw from a purchase of GOG content within 14 days of your purchase,
without giving a reason. To exercise the right of withdrawal, you should
inform us of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal
statement (an email sent to support@GOG.COM, or a physical letter at an
address set out in Section 23 below). You may use the model withdrawal form
attached at the end of this Agreement, but you do not have to. To meet the
withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication
concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal
period has expired. However, this does not apply where you have expressly
consented to the performance of the GOG content (which is digital content)
beginning immediately upon conclusion of the purchase process and have
acknowledged the loss of your withdrawal rights.
7.2. Neither this nor any other part of this User Agreement affects your
statutory rights. In particular:
a) For Australian Users: Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be
excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement
or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably
foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired
or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does
not amount to a major failure. Details[here](https://support.gog.com/hc/en-
us/articles/360025857893?product=gog).
b) For New Zealand Users: Neither this nor any other part of this User
Agreement excludes, restricts or modifies the application of any right or
remedy that cannot be so excluded, restricted or modified including those
conferred by the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. Under this Act are
guarantees which include that goods and services are of acceptable quality. If
this guarantee is not met there are entitlements to have the software remedied
(which may include repair, replacement or refund). If a remedy cannot be
provided or the failure is of a substantial character, the act provides for a
refund.
### Our Voluntary Refund Policy
7.3. We understand that sometimes a purchase doesn't turn out how you expected
and we want to be fair to GOG users. This is why on top of your statutory
refund rights (described in section 7.1.-7.2. above) we may offer you a
Voluntary Refund Policy described[here](https://support.gog.com/hc/en-
us/articles/360006129837?product=galaxy). In some rare cases if we have
reasonable doubts regarding your refund request we may not apply the Voluntary
Refund Policy. In no case this will deprive you of any applicable statutory
refund rights. A sale is considered final once your refund rights expire
(unless we agree otherwise on a case by case basis).
## 8\. VIRTUAL ITEMS AND VIRTUAL CURRENCY
8.1 With certain GOG content you may be able to purchase or acquire virtual
items and/or virtual currency (well call them “Virtual Goods” for short).
Virtual Goods are subject to this Agreement and in particular the following
default rules, unless there are specific rules for that GOG content (which
will prevail over these rules).
8.2 Virtual Goods are digital items only with no cash-value or real world
existence and cannot be bought, sold, gifted, transferred or redeemed,
exchanged for other Virtual Goods, real world money, goods, services or
items of monetary value. Trading Virtual Goods is prohibited (unless you are
specifically permitted to do so). Your right to use any Virtual Goods is
limited to a limited, nonexclusive, non-assignable, non-transferable, non-
sublicensable, revocable license to use them solely for your personal
entertainment and non-commercial use in the applicable GOG content. You have
no property interest or right or title in any Virtual Goods, which remains the
appropriate publishers property. Virtual Goods may be changed, amended or
reversed if necessary, including to enforce this Agreement. If necessary,
limits may be placed on the use of Virtual Goods (including transaction limits
and balance amounts).
8.3 The existence of a particular offer for Virtual Goods is not a commitment
by us to maintain or continue to make the Virtual Goods or that offer
available in the future. The scope, variety and type of Virtual Goods that you
may obtain can change and we have the right to manage, modify and remove
Virtual Goods if we consider necessary for the ongoing operation of GOG or GOG
content or for other legitimate reasons, in which case we will have no
liability to you or anyone for the exercise of such rights. We will make
reasonable efforts to notify you of any such change and to explain the reason
for such change.
## 9\. PATCHES, UPDATES AND CHANGES
9.1 Occasionally we may need to patch or update GOG services or GOG content
(for example to add or remove features or to resolve software bugs). We need
these rights in order to keep GOG running efficiently and safely. Not patching
or updating the GOG services or GOG content may result in inferior performance
of your version or incompatibility of your version with some of the GOG
services or GOG content features. Doing so, you are also risking not
installing important security updates. Our Partners may use GOG services to
roll out patches or updates for applicable GOG content.
## 10\. OWNERSHIP OF GOG SERVICES AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
10.1 GOG services including (but not limited to) their graphics, computer
code, user interface, look and feel, audio, video, text, layout, databases,
data and all other content, and all legal and exploitation rights regarding
them are either owned by us or we license them from third parties. GOG content
is owned by its developers/publishers and licensed by us. All rights are
reserved except as we have explained in this Agreement. You may not use or
exploit any part of the GOG services or GOG content except as explained in
this Agreement.
10.2. GOG respects the intellectual property rights of others. Please read
more[here](https://support.gog.com/hc/articles/16033687971613).
## 11\. RULES FOR USING GOG SERVICES
11.1 Please follow these rules regarding the GOG services and GOG content, and
any additional rules we link in 11.2 below. Please read these rules carefully
since failure to follow them (particularly those in relation to cheating) will
be considered a material breach of this Agreement, which could lead to
suspension or cancellation of your access to GOG services. Here are the rules:
(a) Only use GOG services or GOG content for your personal enjoyment (for
example, don't use them to make money, for piracy or for political purposes).
(b) Regarding GOG content, what you can do practically apart from playing the
games (like create derivative works of it) depends on what the GOG content
rights holder allows you to do (GOG cant grant such rights). So please check
this with the rights holder directly (the first thing you should do though is
to check if they have a EULA and if so what it says). We also ask that you
make only genuine attempts to improve the GOG content.
(c) Regarding GOG services (which includes GOG software), unless you have
prior GOG permission please dont modify, merge, distribute, translate,
reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or create derivative works of them
unless youre allowed in this Agreement or by the law in your country. Wed
like to emphasize that you are free to contact us for permission to do these
things and we will review and respond to those requests in good faith. More
generally, at some point in the future we want to open client protocols to
make it easier for users to work with GOG data/software without any need for
reverse engineering or similar techniques.
(d) Don't hack, harm, grief, interrupt or misuse GOG services or GOG content,
GOG users or GOG personnel or use them for any similar purpose.
(e) Do not create, use, make available and/or distribute cheats, exploits,
automation software, robots, bots, mods, hacks, spiders, spyware, cheats,
scripts, trainers, extraction tools or other software that interact with or
affect GOG services or GOG content in any way (including, without limitation,
any unauthorized third party programs that intercept, emulate, or redirect any
communication between GOG or its partners and GOG services and/or any
unauthorized third party programs that collect information about GOG
services).
(f) Don't interfere with the GOG or third party network software or other
software including via tunnelling, code injection, modifying or changing GOG
software, using any other similar software together with GOG services or GOG
content, through protocol emulation, or through creation or use of private
servers regarding GOG services or GOG content. Do not access or attempt to
access areas of GOG.COM, GOG GALAXY or GOG servers that have not been made
available to the public.
(g) Don't do or say anything which is or may be considered racist, xenophobic,
sexist, defamatory or otherwise offensive or illegal (f.ex. exploiting minors,
encouraging violence, engaging in fraud). Be nice to each other please!
(h) Dont share, buy, sell, transfer, gift, lend, steal, misappropriate or
misuse GOG accounts. GOG keys/codes can only be gifted or transferred or used
in the ways permitted by GOG. If you have any questions or problems, contact
customer support.
(i) We ask you to follow any applicable geographic or regional, language or
location-based restrictions, requirements or rules regarding GOG.
(j) We ask you not to do anything in connection with GOG that infringes any
copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, privacy, publicity, or other right
of others, such as images, photographs, sound files, text files, graphics
files, and any other material or information.
11.2 In addition to the above, below is the list of additional terms that
apply to you when using GOG services. We do not want to repeat ourselves, but
it is important to remember that if you fail to follow them, it will be a
material breach of this Agreement, which could lead to a suspension or
cancellation of your access to GOG services. Here is the list:
* GOG Code of Conduct ([link](https://support.gog.com/hc/articles/16033977811613))
* Infringing Content and Copyright Policy ([link](https://support.gog.com/hc/articles/16033687971613)).
11.3 Every time we make a moderation decision resulting in restricting your
access to GOG services, whenever it is possible you should receive a statement
of reasons outlining why we have made this decision. If you do not agree with
the decision we have made, you have 6 months from the day that you have been
informed about the decision, to make a complaint. The details on how to make a
complaint should be available in your moderation decision. The description of
our complaint-handling system procedure is also available in the Infringing
Content & Copyright Policy
([here](https://support.gog.com/hc/articles/16033687971613)).
## 12\. USER GENERATED CONTENT
12.1 This section is about content (e.g. text, photos or links) which you make
available either to us or to other GOG users via GOG services (for example
through your profile picture or through messages to other GOG users). We'll
call this "User Generated Content".
12.2 As far as we and you are concerned, you own any User Generated Content
but we need you to give us some limited rights over it so that we can actually
transmit it through GOG services. So, by posting User Generated Content you
give us a nonexclusive, irrevocable license to use, modify, reproduce, create
derivative works from, distribute, transmit, communicate and publicly
display/perform your User Generated Content in connection with GOG services.
12.3 It is your responsibility to make sure that you have all necessary legal
rights before you use User Generated Content and for checking they are safe to
use we can't know that ourselves, and we can't check it for you, so we have
to rely on you.
12.4. However, we have the right (but not the obligation) to review and if
appropriate or legally necessary to remove any User Generated Content which is
unlawful, tortious, defamatory, obscene, invasive of the privacy of another
person, threatening, harassing, abusive, hateful, racist or pornographic. If
you find that any such content has been posted on GOG services, please let us
know. We ask you to read our Infringing Content and Copyright Policy
([link](https://support.gog.com/hc/articles/16033687971613)), where we explain
our procedure for reporting infringing content. If you still feel your case is
not fully resolved after our internal procedure, you have access to an out-of-
court dispute settlement - more on this in Section 20 below.
## 13\. FEEDBACK OR SUGGESTIONS
13.1 Youre welcome to give us feedback and suggestions to improve GOG
services and we really value them all. However, just so were clear, we dont
have to use or accept them and we wont owe you anything (financially or
otherwise) regarding them.
## 14\. USING GOG CONTENT IN FAN WORK
14.1 For fan work (e.g. works like fan mods, machinima, parodies, homages,
'Let's Play' or other videos or artwork), you need to check with the content
owner (e.g. the developer or publisher) if they are OK with it and if so you
should get permission from them. The reason is simple the GOG content is the
property of the respective owner, not ours.
## 15\. THIRD-PARTY CONTENT AND EXTERNAL SERVICES
15.1 You might get links to third-party websites or content through GOG
services which arent connected to us. Using them is up to you were not
responsible for them, we can't promise they will work, what they'll be like or
if they're free.
15.2 You can also use your GOG account to get easy access to some external,
GOG approved partner services, e.g. The Witcher games and sites from our
sister company CD PROJEKT RED. They will have their own terms and conditions
which you will need to agree and follow. Just to be clear: using these
services is all optional and up to you. You have the power!
## 16\. WARRANTIES AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY REGARDING GOG SERVICES
16.1 We warrant that: (i) we have the right to enter this Agreement and to
grant you the license to use GOG services in section 2.1; and (ii) we will
take reasonable care with the GOG services and your use of them; and (iii) we
will use reasonable endeavors to comply with applicable laws in performing our
obligations to you under this Agreement.
16.2. Your representations and warranties. You represent and warrant that you
have the full power and ability to enter into this Agreement and will fully
follow its terms. You also represent and warrant that any User Generated
Content, which you transmit via GOG services does not infringe upon the
intellectual property rights of any third party. You further represent and
warrant that you will not use or contribute User Generated Content that is
unlawful, tortious, defamatory, obscene, invasive of the privacy of another
person, threatening, harassing, abusive, hateful, racist or pornographic.
16.3. We work hard to try to make GOG content work on your systems but we only
have limited time to carry out tests and we don't always get everything right.
Therefore, we can't accept any liability or responsibility for GOG content
except where required by law (see 7.1.-7.2 above). We are also not responsible
for anything that happens to GOG.COM or GOG services which is outside of our
control and we do not guarantee GOG services will work 100% of the time.
However, don't forget you may be entitled to GOG content return and refund if
it has technical issues - see section 7.3.
## 17\. TERMINATION
17.1 Your right to terminate the Agreement. You may terminate this Agreement
at any time and without giving any reason by completely ceasing to use GOG
services. If you would like us to delete your account please contact our
Support Team [ here ](https://support.gog.com/hc/en-
us/requests/new?category=info&product=gog) or simply by sending an email
request to privacy@gog.com. Termination will not affect already existing
rights or obligations of us or you.
17.2. Our right to terminate the Agreement. If you materially breach this
Agreement, we reserve the right to suspend or cancel your access to GOG
services and GOG content. By material breach of the Agreement we mean a
serious breach which could cause significant harm to GOG, GOG users, as well
as, in particular breach of the provisions of section 11 above or GOG Code of
Conduct. If we suspend or cancel your access to GOG services or GOG content
we'll take reasonable steps to contact you to explain why we have done this
and what (if anything) you can do as a result.
17.3 It seems very unlikely, but if we have to stop providing access to GOG
services and GOG content permanently (not because of any breach by you), we
will try to give you at least sixty (60) days advance notice by posting a note
on www.GOG.COM and sending an email to every registered user during that
time you should be able to download any GOG content you purchased.
## 18\. FORCE MAJEURE
18.1 Neither you nor us will be liable for any failure to perform any
obligation under this Agreement or to provide access to GOG services and GOG
content if that failure is caused by the happening of any unforeseen event
beyond your or our reasonable control including without limitation, Internet
outages, communications outages, fire, flood, war or act of God.
## 19\. GOVERNING LAW
### For users resident in the European Union and elsewhere in the world (but
not the USA):
19.1 You and we agree that your use of GOG services and GOG content and this
Agreement will be governed by and interpreted according to the laws of the
Republic of Poland and that any dispute regarding this Agreement will be heard
non-exclusively by the courts of the Republic of Poland. In any legal claim
under this Agreement, the side which wins will be entitled to its legal fees
and expenses.
19.2. The above choice of governing law and jurisdiction is subject to any
mandatorily applicable principles of consumer protection or other law in your
jurisdiction of residence which would not otherwise be available.
### For users in the USA only:
19.3 You and we agree that your use of GOG services and GOG content, and this
Agreement, will be deemed to be entered into in Los Angeles, California and
governed by and interpreted according to the laws of the State of California,
USA (and, if applicable, US federal law). Any legal claim by you against GOG
will be made exclusively in any state or federal court located in Los Angeles,
California, which will have subject matter jurisdiction regarding the dispute
between you and us and therefore we both consent to the exclusive jurisdiction
of those courts. In any legal claim under this Agreement, the side which wins
will be entitled to its legal fees and expenses.
## 20\. CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION
20.1.If you have concerns, claims or issues with us, we hope we can resolve
them quickly and amicably. Please contact
us[here](https://support.gog.com/hc/en-
us/requests/new?category=info&product=gog). We will make reasonable and good
faith efforts to resolve any dispute between us informally. We undertake to
answer any claim within 14 days.
20.2. If it is not resolved during this time, the next steps depend on where
you live. If you live within the EU you may submit your legal claims to the
online dispute resolution platform operated and provided by the European
Commission which can be accessed via http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/ in
order to reach an out of court settlement or initiate a lawsuit. You may also
choose to resolve your dispute through any out-of-court dispute settlement
body certified by your countrys Digital Services Coordinator.
20.3. If you live in the USA or the rest of the world (but not the EU) then
please contact us at legal@gog.com.
## 21\. OTHER LEGAL STUFF
21.1 If any part of this Agreement is found not to be legally enforceable,
this will not affect any other part of it.
21.2 This Agreement (including any GOG additional terms referenced in it)
constitutes the entire agreement between you and us and supersedes any earlier
oral or written agreements. If you disagree with this, please contact us as
soon as possible after you start using GOG services at legal@gog.com since
otherwise this will be binding on you after a reasonable time period (usually
30 days).
21.3 This Agreement governs our relationship with you (and vice versa). It
does not create any rights for anyone else.
21.4 Please remember we are subject to various laws and we may be required to
comply with law enforcement or other legal requirements.
21.5 If there is a reorganization, sale or merger of GOG then we may need to
work with relevant third parties to transfer or merge your GOG account.
21.6. You and we agree that the UN Convention on Contracts for the
International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement.
21.7 We can assign, subcontract or transfer this Agreement to a third party or
another member of our group if necessary for the support of GOG, as part of
any reorganization or merger or for other business reasons. We will notify you
if this happens.
21.8. If you are a European Union citizen, then please be aware that GOG has
enabled cross-border portability on free and paid content pursuant to
Regulation (EU) 2017/1128 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14
June 2017 on cross-border portability of online content services in the
internal market, but this is subject to any other legal requirements on GOG
including regarding IP protection and may also be subject to any requirements
of developer and publisher partners of GOG.
## 22\. CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT
22.1 We may change this Agreement if we think it's necessary, e.g. for legal
reasons or to reflect changes in GOG services or GOG content. If so, we will
make the changed Agreement available online at
https://support.gog.com/hc/articles/212632089 and (if you have a GOG account)
we will email you to let you know about any significant changes.
22.2 Any changes to the Agreement will come into force within 30 days of their
announcement online. In the meantime, you're welcome to contact us at
legal@GOG.COM if you have specific questions about the changes.
22.3 If you don't agree to those changes (regardless of whether you email us),
then unfortunately we must ask you to cease using GOG services and GOG
content. We're sorry we have to say that, but we hope you'll appreciate that
for GOG services to work properly we need to have everyone using it under the
same rules instead of different people having different rules. That's why we
encourage you to get in contact if you have queries or concerns.
22.4 Just so you know, we'll never just make a bunch of changes to this
Agreement, not tell you what they are and force you to agree to changes you
don't understand before you can use GOG services!

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0\. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
1\. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2\. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
the scope of this License.
3\. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
received the program in object code or executable form with such
an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
4\. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
parties remain in full compliance.
5\. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Program or works based on it.
6\. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
this License.
7\. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
8\. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9\. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Foundation.
10\. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
11\. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12\. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
Copyright (C)
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
(at your option) any later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
GNU General Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
when it starts in an interactive mode:
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
`Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

Ty Coon, President of Vice
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
Public License instead of this License.
