13. Game Use of Unreal® Engine.
13.1. The Game includes the Unreal® Engine code and other code, materials, and information (the “Epic Materials”) from Epic Games, Inc. (“Epic”). All Epic Materials are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, “with all faults” and without warranty of any kind. Snort Studios, Epic, and Epic’s affiliates disclaim all warranties, conditions, common law duties, and representations (express, implied, oral, and written) with respect to the Epic Materials, 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, Snort Studios, Epic, and Epic’s affiliates make no warranty that (1) any of the Epic Materials will operate properly, including as integrated in the Game, (2) that the Epic Materials will meet your requirements, (3) that the operation of the Epic Materials will be uninterrupted, bug free, or error free in any or all circumstances, (4) that any defects in the Epic Materials can or will be corrected, (5) that the Epic Materials are or will be in compliance with a platform manufacturer’s rules or requirements, or (6) that a platform manufacturer has approved or will approve this Game, or will not revoke approval of this Game for any or no reason. 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 by Snort Studios and Epic. Snort Studios, Epic, and Epic’s affiliates do not guarantee continuous, error-free, virus-free, or secure operation of or access to the Epic Materials. This paragraph will apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
13.2. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither Snort Studios, Epic, Epic’s licensors, nor its or their affiliates, nor any of Snort Studios’ or Epic’s service providers, shall be liable in any way for loss or damage of any kind resulting from the use or inability to use the Epic Materials or otherwise in connection with these Terms, including but not limited to loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure, or malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages or losses. In no event will Snort Studios, Epic, Epic’s licensors, nor its or their affiliates, nor any of Snort Studios’ or Epic’s service providers be liable for any loss of profits or any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages, or any other damages arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Epic Materials, or the delay or inability to use or lack of functionality of the Epic Materials, even in the event of Snort Studios’, Epic’s, or Epic’s affiliates’ fault, tort (including negligence), strict liability, indemnity, product liability, breach of contract, breach of warranty, or otherwise and even if Snort Studios, Epic or Epic’s affiliates have been advised of the possibility of such damages. These limitations and exclusions regarding damages apply even if any remedy fails to provide adequate compensation.
13.3. 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 liability of Snort Studios, Epic, Epic’s licensors, its and their affiliates, and any of Snort Studios’ or Epic’s service providers shall be limited to the full extent permitted by law.
14. General Terms. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior understanding, whether written or oral. Except as provided in these Terms, no term or condition of the Terms may be amended or deemed waived, except by a writing signed by the parties that refers to the Terms. If any term or part of a term is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the rest of the Terms will remain in effect. These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Oregon, without regard to conflict of laws principles. Any claim arising out of these Terms, including tort claims, must be resolved in Multnomah County, Oregon.
