Terms of Service

September 2021

THIS AGREEMENT IS A LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT; PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.

WB Games Inc. ("WB Games") is proud to provide you with access to the online service (a "Game Server") for use with a game entitlement (the "Game") playable on the Stadia gaming platform (together with any updates, the "Game Entitlement"). Together, a Game Server and the Game Entitlement make up the Game. These Terms of Service (the "TOS" or "Agreement") govern your use of the Game Server, while the End User License Agreement (the "EULA"), incorporated herein by this reference, governs your use of the Game Entitlement. By connecting to or using a Game Server, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the EULA.

1. Grant of a Limited License to use a Game Server

Subject to your agreement to and continuing compliance with this Agreement and your continuing compliance with all agreements and guidelines required by Google, LLC or other WB Games approved third party service providers for the use of your Stadia account or WB Games approved third party account (the "Account"), you may use a Game Server solely for your own non-commercial entertainment purposes by accessing it with an authorized, unmodified Game Entitlement. You may not use or access a Game Server for any other purpose or in connection with any other software, and any access or use outside the express scope of this license may constitute a violation of WB Games' intellectual property rights. The license granted herein confers no title or ownership in the Game (including without limitation the Game Server) and should not be construed as a sale of any rights to the Game. The license granted is non-transferable and any attempted transfer in violation of this provision shall be null and void. All rights, titles and interests in and to the Game and any and all copies thereof (including without limitation any and all titles, computer code, technology, themes, objects, characters, character names, stories, dialog, catchphrases, locations, concepts, artwork, music, etc.) are owned by WB Games or its licensors.

2. Changes to Agreement and Game

WB Games may update this Agreement at its sole discretion, and you will be asked to review and agree to the revised version of the TOS once it becomes effective. If you do not agree to a revised TOS, you will not be permitted to continue playing the Game through the Game Server. If at any time you are no longer able to comply with the terms of the then-current TOS, you must terminate this Agreement and immediately stop accessing the Game Server in any fashion.
WB Games may change, modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Game at any time. WB Games may also impose limits on certain features or restrict your access to parts or all of the Game without notice.

3. Ownership

You understand and agree that the Game is owned by WB Games and/or WB Games affiliates and/or licensors. Furthermore, you understand and agree that you have no interest, monetary or otherwise, in any feature or content contained in the Game, which may include without limitation any in-game items or in-game currency. You may not purchase, sell or trade any in-game items or in-game currency (if any) for anything of value in the real world without WB Games' express written permission. Any in-game transaction or purchase of content is purchased from Stadia store or other WB Games approved third party services, and not from WB Games.

4. Account Suspension/Deletion

WB Games may suspend, terminate, modify, or delete your access to the Game Server at any time at its sole discretion, with or without notice to you.

5. Financial Transactions

You acknowledge and agree that all transactions will be handled through the party hosting your Game Entitlement, and will be conducted pursuant to all Terms of Use, Policies and Guidelines of that entity. You acknowledge that all transactions will be facilitated by Stadia gaming platform or other WB Games approved third party service providers and not from WB Games. You agree that WB Games may share your information as described in the Privacy Policy Section, which may include without limitation information about your financial accounts, with third parties as necessary for this purpose.

Code of Conduct
You agree that you will abide by the WB Games Code of Conduct, incorporated herein by this reference, and all applicable laws in connection with your use of the Game and Game Server.

17. Miscellaneous

The terms set forth in this Agreement, including the Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability and Indemnification provisions are fundamental elements of the basis of the agreement between WB Games and you.

WB Games may assign this Agreement or any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement without your consent at any time. No waiver of any default, condition or breach of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other default, condition or breach of this Agreement, whether of a similar nature or otherwise. Any provision found unlawful by a court or regulator having jurisdiction shall be deemed to be severed from the Agreement, but such severance shall have no effect on the enforceability of the remaining provisions of the Agreement. This Agreement, incorporating all the applicable documents referenced herein, represents the entire agreement between you and WB Games with respect to the Game Servers and supersedes all prior agreements between you and WB Games pertaining to the Game Servers. You must supply all necessary facilities, utilities and equipment necessary to play the Game, including appropriate computer equipment and Internet connections, at your sole risk and expense. In no event shall WB Games be liable for any failure of performance resulting from causes beyond the reasonable control of WB Games, including without limitation: acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes, or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.
