need to "earn," "grind," "buy," and/or "purchase" in order to obtain additional

from Activision or our authorized partners through the Program, and not in any
other way.
12. AVAILABILITY:
12(A) For residents in North America: Activision does not guarantee that any online
services, play or features associated with the Program (collectively, “Online
Services”) or Service Provided Content will be available at all times or at any
given time or that Activision will continue to offer Online Services or Service

update Online Services or Service Provided Content without notice to you.
Activision makes no warranty or representation regarding the availability of Online
Services and reserves the right to modify or discontinue Online Services in its
sole discretion without notice, including for example, ceasing an Online Service
for economic reasons due to a limited number of users continuing to make use of the
Online Service over time. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE
AND AGREE THAT ONLINE SERVICES MAY BE TERMINATED IN WHOLE OR IN PART AT
ACTIVISION’S SOLE DISCRETION WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU, AND IN CONNECTION WITH ONLINE
SERVICES’ TERMINATION, ANY AND ALL SERVICE PROVIDED CONTENT LICENSED TO YOU MAY BE
TERMINATED. YOU ASSUME ANY AND ALL RISK OF LOSS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TERMINATION OF
ONLINE SERVICES AND ANY LOSS OF SERVICE PROVIDED CONTENT OR OTHERWISE.
12(B) For residents outside North America: Subject to the next sentence and without
prejudice to your applicable statutory warranties, Activision does not guarantee
that the Program, any Online Services or Service Provided Content will be available
or error-free at all times or at any given time. Activision warrants that the
Program, in addition to any Online Services and Service Provided Content which has
been paid-for with real money, will substantially comply with the description
provided by it at the point of purchase and be of satisfactory quality (in addition
any related services provided through them will be provided with reasonable care
and skill). Unless it would put Activision in breach of its statutory conformity
warranties, Activision reserves the right to modify or discontinue the Program,
Online Services or Service Provided Content in its sole discretion upon reasonable
notice to you, including for example, ceasing Online Services for economic reasons
due to a limited number of users continuing to make use of them over time.
Activision may change and update (or require you to update) the Program, Online
Services or Service Provided Content without notice to you to implement minor
technical adjustment and improvements (for example, to address a security threat or
fix bugs); perform temporary maintenance and make improvements, including altering
the structure, design, or layout of the Program, Online Services or Service
Provided Content; to combat against illegal and/or harmful activities and the use
of unauthorized programs or other activities which breach this Agreement; and/or to
reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements, provided always that
any such changes do not result in a more than minor negative impact in your access
to and the functionality of the Program, Online Services or any Service Provided
Content which has been paid-for with real money). Activision may also make other
changes to the Program, Online Services or Service Provided Content by giving you a
reasonable prior notice. If such changes are not acceptable to you, you may contact
Activision to terminate your Agreement with us before the changes take effect and
discuss refund options for any service or content paid for but not received. Unless
applicable law states otherwise, Activision is not liable or responsible for any
failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of its obligations that is
caused by events outside its reasonable control. If such circumstances result in a
more than minor negative impact in the functionality of the Program or Service
Provided Content then your obligation to make any payment to download, use or
access them will be suspended for the duration of such period. The warranty for
Online Services and/or Service Provided Content which are paid for with real money
is provided in accordance with your statutory rights as a consumer which will
always prevail. Please see Section 7 in respect of Activision's limitation on
damages, but nothing in this paragraph shall affect your statutory rights.

have the Program brought back into conformity; or (B) a proportionate refund and/or
termination of the Agreement. Please visit https://support.activision.com/ for

court review of an arbitration award is limited.
The arbitrator will make a decision in writing but need not provide a statement of
reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law. The
decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on you and Activision, and
any award of the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
The arbitrator shall determine the scope and enforceability of this arbitration
agreement, including whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator
has authority to decide all issues of validity, enforceability or arbitrability,
including, but not limited to, where a party raises as a defense to arbitration
that the claims in question are exempted from the arbitration requirement or that
any portion of this agreement is not enforceable.
If a lawsuit filed in court includes claims or requests for relief that are
arbitrable and claims or requests for relief that are not, you and Activision agree
that any non-arbitrable claims or requests for relief shall be stayed pending the
completion of the arbitration of the arbitrable claims or requests for relief.
Class Action Waiver: TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND
ACTIVISION AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN
AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION OR CLASS
ARBITRATION, OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL. To the extent applicable law does
not permit waiver of private attorney general claims, but permits them to be
arbitrated, then such claims shall be resolved in arbitration. The arbitrator shall
be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in
equity.
30 Day Right to Opt Out: You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the
arbitration agreement and class action waiver provisions in this Section 16 by
sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following email address:
[email protected], using the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out.” The
notice must be sent within 30 days of purchasing the Program (or if no purchase was
made, then within 30 days of the date on which you first access or use the Program
and agree to these terms); otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in
accordance with the terms of this Section 16. If you opt-out of these arbitration
provisions, Activision also will not be bound by them.
The Program is made available subject to the terms of this Agreement. If you
acquired and use the Program from:
A. For residents in the United States, Mexico, or Canada, then any claims or
requests for relief arising out of this Agreement (including interpretation, claims
for breach, and all other claims or requests for relief (including consumer
protection, unfair competition, and tort claims)) will be subject to the laws of
the State of Delaware, without reference to conflict of laws principles. If any
court or arbitrator determines that the “Class Action Waiver” paragraph set forth
above is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on
a class basis, then any and all claims arising out of this Agreement (including
interpretation, claims for breach, and all other claims or requests for relief
(including consumer protection, unfair competition, and tort claims)) shall be
decided under the laws of the state where you were a citizen at the time you
obtained or bought the Program that was subject to this Agreement. In addition, you
and we irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of state or
federal courts in Los Angeles County, California to resolve any claims or requests
for relief that are subject to exceptions to the arbitration agreement described in
BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER above, or otherwise determined not to
be arbitrable. Nothing in this paragraph shall preclude you or Activision from
removing to federal court a case originally filed in state court, if federal court
jurisdiction exists. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim or request
for relief in a demand for arbitration filed pursuant to Section 16 of this
Agreement, as well as any claim or request for relief in a lawsuit filed in court
under an exception to the arbitration agreement in Section 16, shall be barred if
filed more than two (2) years after the date that the claim or request for relief
accrued.
B. For residents in the European Union and United Kingdom, then the laws of England
and Wales govern the interpretation of this Agreement and apply to claims for
breach of it, without reference to conflict of laws principles. All other claims,
including claims regarding consumer protection laws, unfair competition laws, and
in tort, will be subject to the laws of the country (e.g., the United Kingdom, the
French Republic, or the Federal Republic of Germany) in which you acquired and use
the Program. In addition, with respect to jurisdiction, you may choose either the
courts of the country (e.g., the United Kingdom, the French Republic, or the
Federal Republic of Germany) in which you acquired and use the Program, or in the
alternative the courts of England and Wales or other court as applicable under the
Brussels Regulation EC 44/2001
C. For residents in Australia or Japan, then the laws of Australia govern the
interpretation of this Agreement and apply to claims for breach of it, without
reference to conflict of laws principles. All other claims, including claims
regarding consumer protection laws, unfair competition laws, and in tort, will be
subject to the laws of the country in which you acquired and use the Program (being
either Australia or Japan). To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to
the jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales, Australia.
D. For residents in the Rest of the World, if you acquired and use this Program
from countries other than those listed in sections A, B and C above, then you do so
on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and
to the extent local laws are applicable, and you expressly indemnify and hold
harmless Activision from any and all claims, loss, injury, damage, or costs arising
from your use of the Program to the extent permitted by applicable law. No warranty
or representation is made by Activision that the Program or any use of the Program
outside of the countries listed in sections A, B and C above complies with any
applicable local law. Further your use of the Program and all claims arising out of
or related to the Program or this Agreement will, to the extent permitted under
applicable law, be subject to the laws of England and Wales, without reference to
conflict of laws principles and you consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of
England and Wales.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you and Activision agree to waive rights
to a trial by jury.

18. MISCELLANEOUS: This Agreement is the complete agreement concerning this license
between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and representations between
them. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, the
applicable provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it
enforceable and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected,
except as otherwise expressly provided herein.
The following Sections below supersede and replace the corresponding Sections above
for residents in Germany:
Patches and Updates: Activision may, if the change is solely for your benefit or if
another valid reason exists, deploy or provide mandatory patches, updates, and
modifications to the Program that must be installed for you to continue to use the
Program. A valid reason includes, for example, to: (A) ensure compliance with
applicable laws and/or reflect change in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
(B) perform temporary maintenance, fix bugs, implement technical adjustments, and
make improvements, (C) update or upgrade the Program including updating the
structure, design, or layout of the Program; (D) ensure the security of the
Program; and (E) to combat against illegal and/or harmful activities and the use of
unauthorized programs or other activities which breach this Agreement. Broadband
internet is required for such patches, updates, and modifications. You are
responsible for any and all broadband access and usage fees. We will not be liable
for any malfunction or error to the Program or Service Provided Content caused by
your failure to install an update where we have informed you of the consequences of
not installing the update. If any updates to the Program result in negatively
impacting your access or use of the Program in a more than minor way, we will give
you at least six weeks’ notice, and you will have 30 days from our notice of the
change or from when the change comes into effect (whichever is later) to reject the
changes and terminate the Agreement. You may also be able to receive a
proportionate refund for any Program or Service Provided Content paid for but not
received. Please visit https://support.activision.com/ for more information. If you
do not reject these changes or terminate the Agreement within the stated time
limit, we will take that as your acceptance of the changes.
Modification of Terms: From time to time, Activision may need to amend this
Agreement if there is a good reason for the change and the changes reasonably take
into account the interests of both parties, for example to reflect or include new
products or services, to enhance security for users or because of changes in the
law, but we will not modify the terms to change our main obligations to you. If
Activision makes a change to this Agreement, we will inform you of the particular
changes in advance of the changes coming into force, and you will have at least six
weeks (starting from our notice to you) to indicate whether you accept the amended
Agreement. You shall be deemed to have accepted these changes (i) unless you have
notified us of your objection to such changes within the stated six weeks, or (ii)
if you use the Program after the changes have entered into force. In the
notification, we will inform you of your right to object, of the applicable notice
period and the legal consequences of a failure to object.
The latest version of this Agreement will always be available on our website, so we
recommend that you check for updates to this Agreement each time you use the
Program. Changes to the Agreement shall not affect your accrued rights, shall not
substantially disrupt the contractual balance between you and us under this
Agreement and shall not have retroactive effect.
The following Section below supersedes and replaces sub-sections 2 and 3 of Section
8 (‘Termination’):
Termination:
2. ACTIVISION MAY TERMINATE THE LICENSE GRANTED TO YOU UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR
SUSPEND, MODIFY, OR DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT IF YOU SERIOUSLY VIOLATE THIS AGREEMENT. WE
WILL NOTIFY YOU IN ADVANCE IF WE DECIDE TO TERMINATE OR SUSPEND THE LICENSE, UNLESS
WE ARE TERMINATING OR SUSPENDING IT TO COMPLY WITH A LEGAL OBLIGATION WHICH DOES
NOT INCLUDE A PRIOR NOTICE OBLIGATION OR THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE DUE TO THE OBLIGATION
TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION. WE WILL RESTORE THIS LICENSE IF WE HAVE GOOD CAUSE TO
BELIEVE OUR ACTIONS WERE NOT SUFFICIENTLY JUSTIFIED. SERIOUS VIOLATIONS ARE
VIOLATIONS OF IMPORTANT PROVISIONS WHICH INCLUDE SECTION 3, 11(A) AND 11(D) OF THIS
AGREEMENT, REPEATED VIOLATIONS OF OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING
FURTHER NON-COMPLIANCE WHERE YOU HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED A PRIOR WARNING), OR AS
OTHERWISE DETAILED IN THE APPLICABLE PROGRAM’S SECURITY AND ENFORCEMENT POLICY
AVAILABLE AT support.activision.com. IF YOU THINK THAT SUCH DECISION WAS TAKEN
WRONGLY, YOU CAN CONTACT ACTIVISION AT support.activision.com.
ACTIVISION MAY ALSO TERMINATE THE LICENSE GRANTED TO YOU UNDER THIS AGREEMENT
AND/OR SUSPEND, MODIFY, OR DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT IF IT HAS ANOTHER VALID REASON TO DO
SO (FOR EXAMPLE, CEASING AN ONLINE SERVICE FOR ECONOMIC REASONS DUE TO A LIMITED
NUMBER OF USERS CONTINUING TO MAKE USE OF THE SERVICE OVER TIME) OR WITHOUT REASON
BY GIVING YOU A REASONABLE PRIOR NOTICE.
IF ACTIVISION TERMINATES THE LICENSE GRANTED TO YOU UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR
SUSPENDS OR DELETED YOUR ACCOUNT, THIS MEANS THAT YOUR ACCESS TO AND RIGHT TO USE
THE PROGRAM WILL BE REVOKED.
3. With the exception of Agreements relating to (1) Service Provided Content or (2)
Programs which do not involve aspects of online-based gameplay, if you are a
resident in a country in the European Economic Area, you have a legal right to
cancel your Agreement with us within the time limits set out in applicable consumer
laws. Instructions on how to exercise this right are set out at the end of this
Agreement in Appendix 1 (Section A: ‘Information concerning the exercise of the
right of withdrawal’).
Appendix 1:
Right of Withdrawal
You have the right to withdraw from this Agreement within 14 calendar days without
giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 calendar days from the day of the
conclusion of the Agreement.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us (Legal Team, Activision
Blizzard UK Ltd of The Ampersand Building, 178 Wardour Street, London, W1F 8FY,
United Kingdom or via www.support.activision.com) of your decision to withdraw from
the Agreement by an unequivocal statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, or e-mail).
You may use the model withdrawal form attached hereafter, but it is not obligatory.
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.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from the Agreement, we shall reimburse to you all payments received
from you under this Agreement, including the costs of delivery if applicable (with
the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of
delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us),
without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 calendar days from the day
on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this Agreement. We
will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for
the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event,
you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
If you requested to begin the performance of services under an Agreement during the
withdrawal period, you shall pay us an amount which is in proportion to what has
been provided until you have communicated to us your withdrawal from that
Agreement, in comparison with the full coverage of these services under the
Agreement.
You lose your right of withdrawal, insofar as the Agreement is a service contract,
after the service has been fully performed and if the performance has begun with
your prior express consent, and with the acknowledgement that you will lose your
right of withdrawal once the service has been fully performed by us.
You lose your right of withdrawal insofar as the Agreement comprises the supply of
digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium if the performance has
begun with your prior express consent and your acknowledgment that you thereby lose
your right of withdrawal.
Based on the above, you understand that by purchasing Service Provided Content, you
consent that we make available these Service Provided Content to you directly after
we have accepted your order. You will lose your right of withdrawal once the
Service Provided Content has been made fully available to you by us. However, your
right of withdrawal is not lost if you purchase Virtual Goods that are granted to
you for a certain period of time (e.g. time-limited premium memberships).
(Complete and return this form only if you wish to withdraw from this Agreement. We
also strongly recommend that you submit this form to the retailer or platform
partner (with the relevant information about them filled out below) who you
purchased the Product from in order to withdraw from the Agreement.)
To Legal Team, Activision Blizzard UK Ltd of The Ampersand Building, 178 Wardour
Street, London, W1F 8FY, United Kingdom:
I/We hereby give notice that I/We withdraw from my/our contract for the purchase of
the following goods/ the provision of the following services:*
C. Statutory guarantees under French law for residents in France regarding the
Product
French law grants you as consumers the following statutory rights and guarantees in
relation to the Product. Activision will therefore offer you the protection granted
by law under the legal warranty of conformity provided by articles L. 224-25-12 to
L. 224-25-26 of the French Consumer Code. Activision is liable for supplying
digital contents and services that comply with the Agreement and with the objective
and subjective criteria set out by the law. Regarding one-off supply, Activision is
accountable for any non-conformity that exists at the time of supply and which
becomes apparent within two years of supply. Regarding digital content or service
supplied on a continuous basis, Activision is accountable for any non-conformity
which becomes apparent during the period in which it is supplied under the
Agreement. We are also accountable, within the same time limits, for any non-
conformity resulting from the incorrect integration of the digital content or
service into the consumer's digital environment where this has been done by us or
under our responsibility, or where the incorrect integration by the consumer is the
result of deficiencies in the instructions provided by us. For the 12 month period
following the supply of the Product, the consumer will not be required to prove the
existence of the defect. In the event of lack of conformity, the consumer shall be
entitled to have the digital content or service brought into conformity or, failing
that, to have the price reduced or to cancel the contract under the conditions set
out in the French Consumer Code.
Appendix 2:
1. Activision may from time to time make a Beta available to you by digital
download (or other means of downloading, installing, and accessing the Beta) to
grant you access to participate in a Program’s beta testing program (the “Beta
Test”). Your use of the Beta and participation in the Beta Test shall be subject to
the terms and conditions of this Beta Agreement.
2. The Beta Test is a test of certain portions of the Program for the benefit of
Activision and is subject to Activision’s absolute discretion regarding duration,
limitations, features, and participation. Activision may, at any time and for any
reason, suspend or terminate the Beta Test and/or your participation in the Beta
Test. Activision may terminate this Beta Agreement, your participation in the Beta
Test, and your license to use the Beta, with or without cause and without notice.
Such termination may be made by Activision via active measures, including issuing a
disabling command to your installation of the Beta on any device.
4. The Beta and the Beta Test are provided solely to allow Activision to assess the
performance of the Program at a scale not achievable with internal testing and
should not be relied upon by you as indicative of the features, graphical fidelity
or other performance metrics of the Program. Activision reserves the right to make
changes to the Program and to the Beta during and after the Beta Test without
notice. You acknowledge that such changes may result in loss of progress made
during the Beta Test and that there is no guarantee that Beta Test progress, and
any Service Provided Content made available to you for purchase during the Beta
Test, shall be retained or retainable by you after the Beta Test.
8. You acknowledge that your unauthorized use of the Beta, or any part thereof,
shall immediately and irreparably damage Activision such that Activision could not
be adequately compensated solely by a monetary award, and in such event, Activision
shall be entitled to injunctive relief (in addition to all other available
remedies, including a monetary damages) to prohibit such unauthorized use without
the necessity of Activision posting a bond or other security.
9. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Beta Agreement and so long as you
fully comply at all times with this Beta Agreement, Activision hereby grants to you
a non-exclusive, revocable, and limited right to use the Beta only in executable or
object code form, and to participate in the Beta Test. The Beta may not be
downloaded, shipped, transferred, exported or re-exported into any country in
violation of the United States Export Administration Act (or any other law
governing such matters) by you or anyone at your direction, and you shall not
utilize, and shall not authorize anyone to utilize, the Beta in any other manner in
violation of any applicable law. Activision reserves all rights not granted in this
Beta Agreement, including, without limitation, all rights to trademarks.
a. Reproduce, copy, sell, rent, lend, or otherwise transfer or distribute the Beta
by any means, including via the Internet;
11. If you provide Activision with feedback regarding the use, operation or
functionality of the Program, Beta or Beta Test (“Feedback”), including but not
limited to information about operating results, known or suspected bugs, errors or
compatibility problems, or desired features, you hereby assign to us all rights in
the Feedback and agree that we shall have the right to use the Feedback and related
information in any manner we deem appropriate, without any payment or other
consideration to you.
