binding agreement between Supergiant Games, LLC, a California limited liability
company and its affiliates and business partners
(singly and collectively, "Supergiant") and the end user ("you," or "your") of the
Software. As used in this Agreement, the term "Software" means collectively the
videogame entitled “Transistor” (the “Game”),
and any and all copies and/or derivative works of the Game, related software and/or
documentation, including without limitation, any and all “patches,” future
programming fixes, updates and upgrades provided to you.
The Software will not function unless it is installed on a computer which meets its
minimum installation requirements. You may only use the Software if you have agreed
to this Agreement.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU CAREFULLY READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS AGREEMENT. BY CLICKING

1. License Grant.
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Supergiant hereby grants you during the
Term (defined below), a limited, non-exclusive, personal, non-sublicensable, non-
assignable license to download,
install and use the Software onto a computer and to use the Software solely for
the purpose of evaluating the Software and providing feedback regarding the
Software to Supergiant. The Software may only be used in
accordance with this Agreement and any rules, restrictions or documentation set
forth by Supergiant from time to time. The Internet-based multiplayer version of
the Game (the “Online Component”) is only playable
online, and Internet access (not supplied by Supergiant) is required to play the
Online Component. The Software alone does not give you the right to play the Online
Component. You must use the Software to access
Supergiant-authorized servers on which sessions of the Online Component are
monitored and established. You are responsible for all fees, taxes and costs of
acquiring any hardware, software or other products or
services required to play the Online Component.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, you may not: (i) remove any
proprietary notices from any copy of the Software; (ii) cause, permit or authorize
the modification, creation of
derivative works, translation, reverse engineering, decompiling, disassembling or

or grant rights in the Software, including, without
limitation, through sublicense, to any other entity without the prior written
consent of Supergiant; (iv) make any false, misleading or deceptive statement or
representation regarding Supergiant and/or the Software;

herein; (vi) use the Software to, or in any way that would, violate any applicable
law, regulation or ordinance; (vii) collect any information or communication about

routing, trap door, time bomb or any other codes or instructions that are designed
to be used to provide a means of surreptitious or unauthorized access or that are
designed to distort, delete, damage, monitor, mine,
enhance or disassemble the Software.
(b) The Software may be incorporated into, and may incorporate, technology,
software and services owned and controlled by third parties. Use of such third
party software or services is subject to the terms and conditions
of the applicable third party license agreements, and you agree to look solely to
the applicable third party and not to Supergiant to enforce any of your rights in
relation thereto. All modifications or enhancements to
the Software remain the sole property of Supergiant. You understand that
Supergiant, in its sole discretion, may modify or discontinue or suspend your right
to access or use any of the Software at any time, and may at any
time suspend or terminate any license hereunder and disable any Software you may
already have accessed or installed without prior notice. Supergiant reserves the
right to add or remove features or functions to the Software
at any time in its sole discretion. When installed on your computer, the Software
may periodically communicate with Supergiant servers while the Software is in
operation. You acknowledge and agree that Supergiant has no
obligation to make available to you any subsequent versions of its software
applications.

shall be entitled, without bond, other security,
or proof of damages, to appropriate equitable remedies with respect to breaches of
this Agreement, in addition to such other remedies as Supergiant may otherwise have
available to it under applicable laws. In the
event any litigation is brought by either party in connection with this Agreement,
the prevailing party in such litigation shall be entitled to recover from the other
party all the costs, attorneys' fees and other
expenses incurred by such prevailing party in the litigation.
You will comply fully with all relevant export laws and regulations of the United
States, including, without limitation, the U.S. Export Administration Regulations
(collectively “Export Controls”). Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, you will not, and you will require your
representatives not to, export, direct or transfer the Software, or any direct
product thereof, to any destination, person or entity restricted
or prohibited by the Export Controls.
If you are, or are entering into this Agreement on behalf of, any agency or
instrumentality of the United States Government, the Game is “commercial computer
software” and “commercial computer software documentation,”
and pursuant to FAR 12.212 or DFARS 227.7202, and their successors, as applicable,
use, reproduction, and disclosure of the Software are governed by the terms of this
Agreement.
12. Negotiations and Arbitration.
(a) Negotiations. Disputes can be expensive and time consuming for both parties.
In an effort to accelerate resolution and reduce the cost of any dispute or claim
related to this Agreement (“Claim”), you and Supergiant
agree to first attempt to informally negotiate any Claim for at least thirty (30)
days (except those Claims expressly excluded in Section 12(e) below). Supergiant
will send its notice to the address it has on file to the
extent that you have provided additional contact information to Supergiant (e.g.
by participating in a promotional or survey, or contacting a customer services
representative). Otherwise, Supergiant will send its notice to
the email address associated with your Account. You will send your notice to
Supergiant Games, LLC, 276 Shipley St, San Francisco, CA 94107, Attn: Legal
Department. Please note that this informal resolution procedure does
not suspend any statutory limitation periods applicable to the bringing of a
Claim.
Except as otherwise set forth in Section 12(e), you may seek any remedies
available to you under federal, state or local laws in an arbitration action. As
part of the arbitration, both you and we will have the opportunity for
discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Claim. The
arbitrator will provide a written statement of the arbitrator’s decision regarding
the Claim, the award given and the arbitrator’s findings and
conclusions on which the arbitrator’s decision is based. The determination of
whether a Claim is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal
Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, (i) you and Supergiant may
litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or
confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by
the arbitrator; and (ii) the arbitrator’s decision is final, binding on all
parties and enforceable in any court that has jurisdiction, provided that any award
may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to follow applicable law.
BY AGREEING TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND SUPERGIANT
ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
(c) Location. The arbitration will take place in your hometown area if you so
notify Supergiant in your notice of arbitration or within ten (10) days following
receipt of Supergiant’ arbitration notice. In the absence of
a notice to conduct the arbitration in your hometown area, the arbitration will be
conducted in San Francisco, California, unless the parties agree to video, phone
and/or internet connection appearances. Any Claim not subject
to arbitration (other than claims proceeding in any small claims court), or where
no election to arbitrate has been made, shall be decided exclusively by a court of
competent jurisdiction in Seattle, Washington, United States
of America, and you and Supergiant agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of
that court.
(d) Limitations. You and Supergiant agree that any arbitration shall be limited
to the Claim between Supergiant and you individually. YOU AND SUPERGIANT AGREE
THAT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW: (I) THERE
IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS-ACTION BASIS
OR TO UTILIZE CLASS ACTION PROCEDURES; (II) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY
DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY
OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL; AND (III) NO ARBITRATION SHALL BE JOINED WITH
ANY OTHER.
(e) Exceptions to Negotiations and Arbitration. You and Supergiant agree that the
following Claims are not subject to the above provisions concerning negotiations
and binding arbitration: (i) any Claims seeking to enforce
or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or Supergiant’s
intellectual property rights; (ii) any Claim related to, or arising from,
allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (iii)
any claim for equitable relief. In addition to the foregoing, either party may
assert an individual action in small claims court for Claims that are within the
scope of such courts’ jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration.
(f) Governing Law. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Agreement
is governed by, and will be construed under, the laws of the United States of
America and the law of the State of California, without regard
to choice of law principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on
Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Other laws
may apply if you choose to access the Software from outside of the
United States. In such an event, those local laws shall affect this Agreement
only to the extent necessary in that jurisdiction and this Agreement shall be
interpreted to give maximum effect to the terms and conditions in this
Agreement. You are responsible for compliance with all local laws if and to the
extent local laws are applicable.
(g) Severability. You and Supergiant agree that if any portion this Section 12 is
found illegal or unenforceable (except any portion of Section 12(e)), that portion
shall be severed and the remainder of the Section shall be
given full force and effect. If Section 12(e) is found to be illegal or
unenforceable then neither you nor Supergiant will elect to arbitrate any Claim
falling within that portion of Section 12(e) found to be illegal or
unenforceable and such Claim shall be exclusively decided by a court of competent
jurisdiction within San Francisco, California, United States of America, and you
and Supergiant agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction
of that court.
Supergiant reserves all rights not expressly granted in this Agreement. Supergiant
may modify this Agreement at any time by providing such revised Agreement to you or
posting the revised Agreement on its website located at
http://www.supergiantgames.com. Your continued use of the Software shall
constitute your acceptance of such revised Agreement. You may not assign this
Agreement or any rights hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute
a partnership, agency or joint venture between you and Supergiant. Should any term
or provision of this Agreement be deemed invalid, void or unenforceable either in
its entirety or in a particular application, the remainder of
this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The failure of Supergiant at
any time or times to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall
in no manner affect its right at a later time to enforce the
same unless the same is waived in writing. The terms set forth in this Agreement
constitute the final, complete and exclusive agreement with respect to the Software
and may not be contradicted, explained or supplemented by
evidence of any prior agreement, any contemporaneous oral agreement or any
consistent additional terms. Supergiant may, at its sole discretion, assign this
Agreement without giving prior notice.
YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT AND UNDERSTAND THE
RIGHTS, OBLIGATIONS, TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN. BY CONTINUING TO
INSTALL THE SOFTWARE, YOU EXPRESSLY CONSENT TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS
AND GRANT TO SUPERGIANT THE RIGHTS SET FORTH HEREIN.
