By downloading or using the Software or Content, or by otherwise indicating your acceptance of this Agreement, you are agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If you do not or cannot agree to the terms of this Agreement, please do not download or use the Software or Content.
Use of the Editor (as defined below) is subject to the Unreal® Engine End User License Agreement ("UE EULA"), which may be found at www.unrealengine.com/eula, as supplemented by the additional terms and conditions in Sections 5 and 6 of this Agreement. By downloading or using the Editor, you also agree to the UE EULA. Use of the Marketplace is subject to Epic's Terms of Service. By using the Marketplace, you also agree to Epic's Terms of Service.
Certain words or phrases are defined to have certain meanings when used in this Agreement. Those words and phrases are defined below in Section 18.
1. License Grant
Epic and Studio Wildcard grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable limited right and license to install and use one copy of the Licensed Materials on a device for your personal entertainment use (the "License"). The rights that Epic grants you under the License are subject to the terms of this Agreement, and you may only make use of the License if you comply with all applicable terms.
The License becomes effective on the date you accept this Agreement. The License does not grant you any title or ownership in the Licensed Materials.
2. License Conditions
You may not do any of the following with respect to the Licensed Materials or any of its parts: (a) use it commercially; (b) copy, reproduce, distribute, display, or use it in a way that is not expressly authorized in this Agreement; (c) sell, rent, lease, license, distribute, or otherwise transfer it; (e) reverse engineer, derive Source Code from, modify, adapt, translate, decompile, or disassemble it or make derivative works based on it; (f) remove, disable, circumvent, or modify any proprietary notice or label or security technology included in it; (g) create, develop, distribute, or use any unauthorized software programs to gain advantage in any online or other game modes; (h) use it to infringe or violate the rights of any third party, including but not limited to any intellectual property, publicity, or privacy rights; or (i) use, export, or re-export it in violation of any applicable law or regulation.

Notwithstanding the terms of the UE EULA, you may not use the Editor or any Content (a) with or in connection to any games, projects, products, or services other than the Software, or (b) to create or develop any separate or standalone games, projects, products, or services. Your breach of the foregoing will constitute a material breach of both the UE EULA and this Agreement. If you have entered into the UE EULA, then upon termination of this Agreement, your license under the UE EULA to use the Editor and any Content will immediately terminate; provided, however, that such termination will not terminate any license you may have under the UE EULA with respect to your use of other versions of the Unreal® Engine.
4. Feedback
If you provide Epic with any Feedback, you hereby assign to Epic all right, title, and interest (including all copyright, patent, and other intellectual property rights) in that Feedback for all current and future methods and forms of exploitation in any country. If any such rights are not effectively assigned under applicable law, you hereby grant Epic a non-exclusive, fully-paid, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable license to reproduce, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, make, use, have made, sell, offer to sell, import, modify and make derivative works based on, and otherwise exploit that Feedback for all current and future methods and forms of exploitation in any country. If any such rights may not be assigned or licensed under applicable law (such as moral and other personal rights), you hereby waive and agree not to assert all such rights. You understand and agree that Epic is not required to make any use of any Feedback that you provide. You agree that if Epic makes use of your Feedback, Epic is not required to credit or compensate you for your contribution. You represent and warrant that you have sufficient rights in any Feedback that you provide to Epic to grant Epic and other affected parties the rights described above. This includes but is not limited to intellectual property rights and other proprietary or personal rights.
5. Ownership

Also, certain Content has been developed by users or other third parties and licensed to Epic for distribution to you under the License. Epic's licensors may protect their rights if you violate this Agreement.
6. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
The Licensed Materials,and Mods are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, "with all faults" and without warranty of any kind. Studio Wildcard, Epic, its licensors, and its and their affiliates disclaim all warranties, conditions, common law duties, and representations (express, implied, oral, and written) with respect to the Licensed Materials,or Mods, including without limitation all express, implied, and statutory warranties and conditions of any kind, such as title, non-interference with your enjoyment, authority, non-infringement, merchantability, fitness or suitability for any purpose (whether or not Epic knows or has reason to know of any such purpose), system integration, accuracy or completeness, results, reasonable care, workmanlike effort, lack of negligence, and lack of viruses, whether alleged to arise under law, by reason of custom or usage in the trade, or by course of dealing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Epic, its licensors, and its and their affiliates make no warranty that (1) the Licensed Materials, or Mods will operate properly, (2) that the Licensed Materials, or Mods will meet your requirements, (3) that the operation of the Licensed Materials, or Mods will be uninterrupted, bug free, or error free in any or all circumstances, or (4) that any defects in the Licensed Materials, or Mods can or will be corrected. Any warranty against infringement that may be provided in Section 2-312 of the Uniform Commercial Code or in any other comparable statute is expressly disclaimed. Epic, its licensors, and its and their affiliates do not guarantee continuous, error-free, virus-free, or secure operation of or access to the Licensed Materials,  or Mods. This paragraph will apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither Epic, nor its licensors, nor its or their affiliates, nor any of Epic's service providers (collectively, the "Epic Parties"), shall be liable in any way for any loss of profits or any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Licensed Materials, or Mods, even in the event of an Epic Party's fault, tort (including negligence), strict liability, indemnity, product liability, breach of contract, breach of warranty, or otherwise and even if an Epic Party has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Further, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the aggregate liability of the Epic Parties arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Licensed Materials, or Mods will not exceed the total amounts you have paid (if any) to Epic under this Agreement during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the events giving rise to such liability. These limitations and exclusions regarding damages apply even if any remedy fails to provide adequate compensation.
Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, the foregoing limitations of liability shall apply only to the full extent permitted by law.
7. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify, pay the defense costs of, and hold Studio Wildcard, Epic, its licensors, its and their affiliates, and its and their employees, officers, directors, agents, contractors, and other representatives harmless from all claims, demands, actions, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys' fees, costs, and expert witnesses' fees) that arise from or in connection with (a) any claim that, if true, would constitute a breach by you of this Agreement or negligence by you, (b) any act or omission by you in using the Licensed Materials, or Mods, or (c) any Mods or other materials you make available (including without limitation allegations that your Mods infringe third party intellectual property rights). You agree to reimburse Epic on demand for any defense costs incurred by Epic and any payments made or loss suffered by Epic, whether in a court judgment or settlement, based on any matter covered by this Section 10.
If you are prohibited by law from entering into the indemnification obligation above, then you assume, to the extent permitted by law, all liability for all claims, demands, actions, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys' fees, costs and expert witnesses' fees) that are the stated subject matter of the indemnification obligation above.
