ZeniMax offers a range of services on PC, Mac, iOS devices, consoles, and mobile devices, including, but not limited to: (i) access to Content (defined in Section 2), (ii) games and other products or services that You install or play, including, but not limited to, ZeniMax's computer and console entertainment software game(s) (collectively, "Game(s)"), (iii) software, including, but not limited to, third-party software ("Software"), and (iv) related services, such as membership programs that include special benefits for members, downloading and uploading media, forums, and additional features (together with Content, Games and Software collectively referred to as "Services"). For purposes of these Terms of Service, references to a "Game" include, unless the context requires otherwise, Content that is used or available in the Game or that is applicable to the Game and the Software that facilitates the playing of the Game.

Certain Services may require the creation of an account ("Account(s)"). To create an Account, You must have a valid email address and be eligible to use the Service for which You are registering. You must provide truthful and accurate information, and update such information to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. During the registration process, You may be required to create a password. ZeniMax has the right to restrict, suspend, or terminate Your Account and refuse any and all current or future use of Services if ZeniMax reasonably believes that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete.

Some Services may require creation of a user name, such as a "UserID","Display Name", "Character Name" or "Guild Name" to represent You in the Services, and which are tied to Your Account (collectively, "user name(s)"). You may not select the name of another person, any third party's trademark, copyright, or other intellectual property infringement, any name that could mislead other players to believe You to be an employee of ZeniMax or affiliated companies, or any name that ZeniMax deems in its sole discretion to be vulgar, offensive, or otherwise violates these Terms of Service. Subject to the Statutory Obligations (as defined below), ZeniMax reserves the right, in its sole discretion, (a) to delete or alter any user names tied to an Account; and (b) to restrict, suspend or terminate Your access to any Service or license granted to You, for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, any suspected or actual infringement of any trademark or trade name right, copyright, or other proprietary right.

You acknowledge and agree that You shall not reproduce, prepare derivative works based upon, distribute, publicly perform, or transmit any Content for commercial uses unless You obtained the express written consent of an authorized representative of ZeniMax. For clarification purposes, "derivative works based upon" Services and/or Content are works that are substantially similar, both in ideas and expression, to Services and/or Content. Therefore, if You or someone else creates a work and it is likely to bring to mind either or both Services (such as a Game) and Content, then it is likely that such work is a derivative work and as such may not be used for commercial purposes.

ZeniMax Owned UGC also includes all Content (other than Game Mods (as defined below)) that You create or develop using Content provided or made available by ZeniMax, including but not limited to Content that You create or develop that is a derivative work of the Content provided or made available by ZeniMax. For clarity, Content and materials that are created, developed or accessible within a Game or Service using Content or tools provided by ZeniMax (e.g., Content and material created via an in-Game editor and accessible only within the Game) are ZeniMax Owned UGC and not Game Mods (as defined below).

For clarity, ZeniMax Owned UGC does not include (i) any Content that You create or develop if such Content or if the creation or development of such Content would constitute a breach of this Agreement or any Supplementary Terms or would violate any law, (ii) any Content that You create or develop without the use of Content provided or made available by ZeniMax or (iii) any Game Mods (as defined below).

ZeniMax does not pre-screen UGC and does not endorse or approve any UGC that You and other users may contribute, provide, post, upload or otherwise submit via the Services.

As between You and ZeniMax, You will be the owner of all of Your UGC (as defined above). To the fullest extent permitted by law, You hereby expressly grant (or You warrant that the owner of Your UGC has expressly granted) to ZeniMax and its licensors, licensees and designees a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, paid-up, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable (through multiple tiers of sublicensees) right and license to exercise all rights of any kind or nature associated with Your UGC in all formats and media, whether existing now or in the future, and You agree not to assert or enforce any moral rights or similar rights You may have which may now or may hereafter be recognized, and all ancillary and subsidiary rights, in any languages and media now known or not currently known.

You further grant each user of the Services a non-exclusive license to access UGC and to use, reproduce, distribute, display and perform such UGC as permitted through the Services, including, but not limited to, Game functionality.

If so required under applicable law, You will enter into any agreement or undertake any action as deemed necessary by ZeniMax to effect the licenses described above in this Section.

IN ALL CASES OF UGC UNDER THIS SECTION 2, EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND SUBJECT TO THE STATUTORY OBLIGATIONS (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 1), ZENIMAX RESERVES THE RIGHT (BUT HAS NO OBLIGATION EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LAW) TO REVIEW, REMOVE, BLOCK, EDIT, MOVE OR DISABLE UGC FOR ANY REASON, WITH OR WITHOUT NOTICE, AND HAS NO LIABILITY OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO UGC, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WHEN ZENIMAX DETERMINES THAT UGC VIOLATES THESE TERMS OF SERVICE.

Accordingly, You may not sell, and You may not assist others in selling, Service(s) or in-Game items for real currency, or exchange those items for value outside of the Services. Evidence of any attempt to redeem Downloadable Content for a purported exchange, sale, gift or trade in the "real world" will result in the immediate suspension or termination of Your Account.

You acknowledge and agree that all virtual items represent a limited license right for Your personal, private, non-commercial, non-transferable, and limited use governed by these Terms of Service and are not redeemable for any sum of money or monetary value from ZeniMax at any time. ZeniMax reserves the right to refuse Your request(s) to acquire Downloadable Content, and reserves the right to limit or block any request to acquire Downloadable Content for any or no reason.

Virtual Currency

The Services may make use of one or more virtual currencies, either within a single Service, such as a Game, or for use across multiple Services ("Virtual Currency"). The following terms govern the use of Virtual Currency in connection with the ZeniMax Services. Additional Virtual Currency-related terms may be contained in the EULA for a particular Game and, where there is a conflict between such terms and this Section 2(D), the Virtual Currency-related terms in the EULA shall govern.

Virtual Currency may be obtained in one or more ways depending on the type of Virtual Currency and the Service or Services associated with that Virtual Currency, including without limitation Virtual Currency that may be obtained through purchase with real currency, in-Game actions or achievements, as a part of membership benefits, or otherwise. ZeniMax may, from time to time and in its sole discretion, grant Virtual Currency to Users of one or more Services as a gesture of goodwill or in connection with promotions, memberships, competitions, or sweepstakes organized by ZeniMax. All Virtual Currency that is purchased with real currency, either alone or together with other Services or access to Services (including without limitation payment for memberships), shall be referred to as "Purchased Virtual Currency." All Virtual Currency that is not Purchased Virtual Currency shall be referred to as "Complimentary Virtual Currency."

Regardless of the method by which You obtain a Virtual Currency and subject only to the Statutory Obligations (as defined in Section 1), it has no value in real currency, and is not transferable to any other person, or returnable, exchangeable, or refundable for real currency, goods, or services. By purchasing or otherwise obtaining Virtual Currency, you acknowledge and agree that all Virtual Currencies represent a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license for Your personal, private, non-commercial use of ZeniMax Services governed by these Terms of Service. Because it is a license, Virtual Currency is not property in which You have any ownership right, title, or other interest. Any Virtual Currency balance shown in Your Account does not constitute a real currency balance or reflect any monetary value.

ZeniMax reserves the right to change the price for any Purchased Virtual Currency or to bundle Purchased Virtual Currency in any amount with other Services or access to other Services at any time and without providing notice to You. You will have no right to a refund as a result of any change in the price or bundling at which Purchase Virtual Currency can be obtained, subject only to the Statutory Obligations (as defined in Section 1). In the case of Complimentary Virtual Currency, ZeniMax reserves the right to change or limit the amount of Complimentary Virtual Currency granted as part of any ongoing or continuous promotion, to discontinue any promotion or to bundle Complimentary Virtual Currency in any amount with other Services or access to other Services at any time and without providing notice to You.

Virtual Currency is not transferable to, or redeemable for, any sum of real currency or monetary value

You agree not to sell or transfer, or assist others in selling or transferring Virtual Currencies or any amounts thereof.

THIS SECTION 11 SHALL SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE.

Upon ZeniMax's decision to restrict, suspend, or terminate these Terms of Service, You will lose access to Your Account.

15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION, ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

If You reside in the EEA/Switzerland/Australia/New Zealand, then only this first paragraph of this Section 15 will apply to You. ZeniMax will try and solve any disagreements that arise between You and ZeniMax promptly and efficiently. You and ZeniMax may agree to refer any disputed matter to resolution proceedings other than in a court but You and ZeniMax are not restricted from bringing court proceedings at any time.

If You reside outside the EEA/Switzerland/Australia/New Zealand, then the terms below in this Section 15 apply to You.

This Section 15 facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any disputes that may arise between You and ZeniMax. Arbitration is a form of private dispute resolution in which persons with a dispute waive their rights to file a lawsuit, to proceed in court and to a jury trial, and instead submit their disputes to a neutral third person (or arbitrator) for a binding decision. You have the right to opt-out of this Section 15 (as explained below), which means You would retain Your right to file a lawsuit and litigate Your disputes in a court, either before a judge or jury. Certain of the terms below in this Section reference "class actions" or "other collective disputes or representative actions." If You reside in a jurisdiction that does not permit class actions or other collective disputes or representative actions, such terms will not apply to You.

Please read this Section carefully. It provides that all Disputes (defined below) between You and ZeniMax shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration replaces the right to go to court. In the absence of this arbitration agreement, You may otherwise have a right or opportunity to bring claims in court, before a judge or jury, and/or participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions, collective actions or representative actions). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 15 or applicable law, entering into these Terms of Service constitutes a waiver of Your right to litigate claims and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow these Terms of Service and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees). The arbitrator may not award damages disclaimed by these Terms of Service.

For the purpose of this Section 15, "ZeniMax" collectively refers to ZeniMax, its subsidiary and affiliate companies, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents. The term "Dispute" means any dispute, claim, or controversy between You and ZeniMax regarding or related to any aspect of Your relationship with ZeniMax, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes, but not limited to, the validity, enforceability or scope of this Section 15 (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below). "Dispute" is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced.

YOU AND ZENIMAX EACH AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION 15.

Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution. 
For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, You must first give ZeniMax an opportunity to resolve the Dispute. You must commence this process by mailing written notification to ZeniMax Media Inc., Attn: Legal Dep't, 1370 Piccard Drive, Suite 120, Rockville, MD 20850 USA. That written notification must include (1) Your name, (2) Your address, (3) a written description of Your Dispute, and (4) a description of the specific relief You seek. If ZeniMax does not resolve the Dispute to your satisfaction within 45 days after receipt of Your written notification, You may pursue Your Dispute in arbitration. You may pursue Your Dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.

Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt Out. 
Notwithstanding the above, You or ZeniMax may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if (a) the Dispute is initiated in small claims court; or (b) YOU OPT-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST CONSENT TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE (the "Opt-Out Deadline"). You may opt out by mailing written notification to ZeniMax Media Inc., Attn: Legal Dep't, 1370 Piccard Drive, Suite 120, Rockville, MD 20850 USA. Your written notification must include (1) Your name, (2) Your address, and (3) a clear statement that You do not wish to resolve disputes through arbitration. Your decision to opt-out will have no adverse effect on Your relationship with ZeniMax. Any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and You must pursue Your Dispute in arbitration or small claims court.

Arbitration Procedures. 
If this Provision applies and the Dispute is not resolved as provided above ("Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution") either You or ZeniMax may initiate arbitration proceedings. If You reside in North America, the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), www.adr.org, will arbitrate all Disputes. If You do not reside in North America, the International Centre for Dispute Resolution ("ICDR"), www.icdr.org, will arbitrate all Disputes. The arbitration taking place before the ICDR will be conducted in English before a single arbitrator. In either case, the arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration, and shall in no event be commenced as a class arbitration. The arbitrator shall have the exclusive authority to decide all issues with respect to Section 15, including, but not limited to whether any particular claim asserted by You or ZeniMax falls within the scope of this Section 15 and any alleged ambiguities in this Section 15.

In Disputes before the AAA, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply for Disputes of less than $75,000, the AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply for Disputes involving $75,000 or more, and in either instance the AAA's Optional Rules For Emergency Measures Of Protection shall apply. The ICDR's rules will apply to Disputes before that entity. AAA and ICDR rules are available at www.adr.org and www.icdr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. This Provision governs in the event it conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules of the AAA or ICDR. Based on the class action waiver set forth in subsection 15(B)(vii) below, under no circumstances will class action procedures or rules apply to the arbitration.

Because the Services and these Terms of Service concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA") governs the arbitrability of all Disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit.

Arbitration Award. 
The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law and these Terms of Service, and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. Such award will be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.

Location of Arbitration. 
If You reside in North America, You or ZeniMax may initiate arbitration in either Rockville, Maryland, USA or the judicial district that includes the address You provide in Your written notification of Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution. In the event that You select the judicial district that includes the address You provide in Your written notification of Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution, ZeniMax may transfer the arbitration to Rockville, Maryland, USA in the event that it agrees to pay any additional fees or costs You incur as a result of the transfer, as determined by the arbitrator. If You do not reside in North America, the arbitration shall take place in London, England or Sydney, Australia as requested by You.

Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs. 
ZeniMax will pay all arbitration filing fees and arbitrator's costs and expenses upon Your written request given prior to the commencement of the arbitration or as otherwise required by applicable law. You are responsible for all additional fees and costs that You incur in the arbitration, including, but not limited to, attorneys or expert witnesses. Fees and costs may be awarded as provided pursuant to applicable law. In addition to any rights to recover fees and costs under applicable law, if You provide notice and negotiate in good faith with ZeniMax as provided in the section above titled "Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution" and the arbitrator concludes that You are the prevailing party in the arbitration, You will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney's fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.

Class Action Waiver. 
Any arbitration proceedings initiated pursuant to this Section 15 will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, consolidated or representative action or as a member of a class, collective, consolidated or representative action. If You choose to pursue Your Dispute in court by opting out of this Provision, as specified above, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to You. Neither You, nor any other user of the Services can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements above.

Jury Waiver. 
You understand and agree that by entering into these Terms of Service You and ZeniMax are each waiving the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court. In the absence of this Section 15, You and ZeniMax might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring Disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions). Except as otherwise provided below, those rights are waived. Other rights that You would have if You went to court, such as the right to appeal and to certain types of discovery, may be more limited or may also be waived.

Severability. 
If any clause within this Section 15 (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Section 15, and the remainder of this Section 15 will be given full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Section 15 will be unenforceable and the Dispute will be decided by a court.

Continuation. 
This Section 15 shall survive the termination of these Terms of Service and Your use of the Services.

16. UNSOLICITED MATERIALS

ZeniMax has an established policy not to accept or consider any unsolicited material, ideas or suggestions of any nature whatsoever. Please do not send us any unsolicited materials, as they will not be considered by anyone at ZeniMax. Any unsolicited materials sent will be treated as non-confidential, and ZeniMax will not be liable for any use or disclosure of such unsolicited material.

If You do send any creative materials, including, but not limited to, feedback, creative suggestions, error corrections, ideas, notes, drawings, fan art, storylines, music, concepts, data, or other content that is not UGC, transmitted via the Services, websites, U.S. Postal Service, Fed-Ex, mail, electronic mail or otherwise (collectively "Information"), such creative materials and communications shall to the fullest extent permitted by law be deemed to be the property of ZeniMax and You hereby assign and agree to assign to ZeniMax full and unfettered ownership of all such Information. None of the Information shall be subject to any obligation of confidentiality on the part of ZeniMax and ZeniMax shall not be liable to You for any use or disclosure of any Information. ZeniMax shall exclusively own any now known or hereafter existing rights to the Information of every kind and nature throughout the universe and on any media, and shall be entitled to unrestricted use and exploitation of the Information for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without compensation to, or approval by, You.

17. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT

ZeniMax respects the intellectual property rights of others, and requires that those who use its Services do the same. ZeniMax will terminate the Account of any user who is responsible for any or repeated acts of intellectual property infringement. You may not, and by using the Services You agree not to, use the Services to transmit material: (i) that is copyrighted, unless You are the copyright owner or have obtained the permission of the copyright owner to transmit it; (ii) that reveals trade secrets, unless You own them or have the permission of the owner to so transmit them; or (iii) that infringes on any Intellectual Property Rights, as defined below, of others or violates the privacy or rights of publicity of others. For purposes of these Terms of Service, the term "Intellectual Property Rights" means, collectively, rights under patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws, and any other intellectual property or proprietary rights recognized in any country or jurisdiction worldwide, including, without limitation, moral rights and similar rights.

If You believe that any Content appearing on the Services has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please send a written communication that includes the following information to the Copyright Agent named below (please consult Your counsel and/or see Section 512(c)(3) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act):

Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material.

ZeniMax will notify You if it removes or disables access to copyright-protected material that You provide, if such removal is pursuant to a valid DMCA take-down notice that ZeniMax has received.

Your physical or electronic signature;

Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;

Some Services may require creation of a user name, such as a "UserID", "Display Name", "Character Name" or "Guild Name" to represent You in the Services, and which are tied to Your Account (collectively, "user name(s)"). You may not select the name of another person, any third party's trademark, copyright, or other intellectual property infringement, any name that could mislead other players to believe You to be an employee of ZeniMax or affiliated companies, or any name that ZeniMax deems in its sole discretion to be vulgar, offensive, or otherwise violates these Terms of Service. Subject to the Statutory Obligations (as defined below), ZeniMax reserves the right, in its sole discretion, (a) to delete or alter any user names tied to an Account; and (b) to restrict, suspend or terminate Your access to any Service or license granted to You, for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, any suspected or actual infringement of any trademark or trade name right, copyright, or other proprietary right.

UNDER THE STATUTORY OBLIGATIONS ZENIMAX IS UNDER A LEGAL DUTY TO SUPPLY TO YOU GOODS, SERVICES AND DIGITAL CONTENT THAT ARE IN CONFORMITY WITH OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU.

PHOTOSENSITIVITY WARNING: A very small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to certain visual images, including without limitation light patterns or flashing lights. Exposure to certain patterns or backgrounds on a computer, television or other screen, or while playing video games, may induce epileptic seizures or blackouts in these individuals. These conditions may induce previously undetected epileptic symptoms, blackouts, or seizures in persons who have no history of prior seizures or epilepsy. If You, anyone in Your family, or anyone in Your household, have an epileptic condition, have had seizures of any kind, or seizure symptoms, consult a doctor prior to using the Services or playing any Game. If You experience any of the following symptoms while playing any Game, immediately discontinue use and consult Your physician before resuming play: dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitches, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, loss of awareness, disorientation, confusion, any involuntary movement, or convulsions.

2. CONTENT; USER-GENERATED CONTENT; DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT; GAME MODS AND VIRTUAL ITEMS
This Section 2 shall survive any termination of these Terms of Service.

Content Generally

User-Generated Content

UGC includes any photographs, images, video, music and sounds that You contribute, provide, post, upload or otherwise submit to ZeniMax via a Service (collectively, "Your UGC").

UGC includes Content contributed, provided, posted, uploaded or otherwise submitted to ZeniMax by any other person using or via the Services.

If so required under applicable law, You will enter into any agreement or undertake any action as deemed necessary by ZeniMax to effect the licenses described above in this Section.

Downloadable Content, Achievements, and Other Virtual Items

Game Mods

Content also includes Game Mods. The term "Game Mod" means downloadable, user-generated Content developed or created by You or a third party using an Editor Tool (as defined below). In certain cases, as determined by ZeniMax, Game Mods may be made available to other users of a Service or a Game and in such cases, such other users may download the Game Mods from ZeniMax or third parties and use such Game Mods in connection with playing a Game or receiving a Service from ZeniMax.

If You desire to develop or create one or more Game Mods, then You will be required to download from a ZeniMax website or otherwise gain access to via a ZeniMax website one or more software tools through which You may create or develop Game Mods (each such tool is an "Editor Tool"). To obtain a copy of or get access to any such Editor Tool, You will be required to agree to the terms of a separate EULA (the "Editor EULA"). If there is a conflict between the terms and conditions in any such Editor EULA and the terms and conditions in these Terms of Service, the terms in the Editor EULA will control over the conflicting terms in these Terms of Service but solely for purpose of the specific Editor Tool and not for any other purpose. Please review the terms in the Editor EULA carefully.

With respect to Game Mods made available for download from a ZeniMax website or made available from a ZeniMax server, ZeniMax may, at any time and in its sole discretion, elect to remove such Game Mods from the ZeniMax website(s) or server(s) without notice to You.

Each Game Mod is owned by the developer of the Game Mod, subject to the licenses granted by the developer to ZeniMax as set forth in the Editor EULA.

ZeniMax may, but is not required under this Agreement to, validate, test, evaluate or pre-screen Game Mods.

ZeniMax does not endorse, sponsor, guaranty or approve any Game Mods, including without limitation Game Mods available for download from a ZeniMax website.

Your experience with any particular Game Mod may vary from other users' experiences.

IF YOU ELECT TO INSTALL, DOWNLOAD OR USE ANY GAME MODS, YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.

EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND SUBJECT TO THE STATUTORY OBLIGATIONS (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 1), ZENIMAX RESERVES THE RIGHT (BUT HAS NO OBLIGATION EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LAW) TO OFFER, MAKE AVAILABLE, REVIEW, REMOVE, BLOCK, EDIT, MOVE OR DISABLE GAME MODS FOR ANY REASON, WITH OR WITHOUT NOTICE, AND HAS NO LIABILITY OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO GAME MODS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WHEN ZENIMAX DETERMINES THAT A GAME MOD VIOLATES THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, THE EDITOR EULA. THE DECISION TO REMOVE A GAME MOD AT ANY TIME IS IN ZENIMAX'S SOLE AND FINAL DISCRETION.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ZENIMAX DOES NOT ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR GAME MODS OR FOR THE REMOVAL OF ANY GAME MODS FOR ANY FAILURE TO OR DELAY IN REMOVING, ANY GAME MOD.

Virtual Currency

The Services may make use of one or more virtual currencies, either within a single Service, such as a Game, or for use across multiple Services ("Virtual Currency"). The following terms govern the use of Virtual Currency in connection with the ZeniMax Services. Additional Virtual Currency-related terms may be contained in the EULA for a particular Game and, where there is a conflict between such terms and this Section 2(E), the Virtual Currency-related terms in the EULA shall govern.

3. LIMITED LICENSE TO USE
Subject to the terms in these Terms of Service and Your compliance with all of the terms and conditions in these Terms of Service, ZeniMax grants to You, for Your personal and private use only, a non-exclusive, revocable, nontransferable license to use Services (including any Content which is made available by ZeniMax (including but not limited to Game Mods that You download from a ZeniMax website) as a part of a Service and then solely in connection with such Service) as set forth in these Terms of Service.

You may not (a) distribute, publicly perform or display, sell, transmit, publish, edit, reproduce, sublicense, rent, lease, loan or otherwise transfer any Game, Software, and/or Content, including without limitation any access keys; (b) modify, adapt, reverse engineer or decompile the Software, or otherwise attempt to derive source code from the Software; (c) create any derivative works based upon any Services; (d) otherwise use any Services except as expressly provided in these Terms of Service; (e) copy or download any Software or Content unless the Content is a Game Mod available for download from a ZeniMax website or is Downloadable Content (other than Virtual Currency) or You are otherwise expressly authorized to do so in writing by ZeniMax; and/or (f) remove, obscure, or alter copyright, patent, trademark, or other proprietary rights notices affixed to any Services. Any commercial use is prohibited absent written permission by an authorized representative of ZeniMax.

All Services and all intellectual property rights in the Services are owned by ZeniMax or its licensors and are protected by United States, other jurisdictions, and international copyright, trade dress, patent, and trademark laws, international conventions, and other laws protecting intellectual property and related proprietary rights.

With the exception of the first paragraph of this Section 3, this Section 3 shall survive the termination of these Terms of Service.

ZeniMax may, in its discretion, make available to You one or more application programming interfaces and associated documentation (each an "API") to allow You to create, download, enable, use, or associate Content (excluding Game Mods), that modifies or otherwise provides enhanced features to the user interface ("Add-ons") for a Game. The API and Add-ons are Software for purposes of these Terms of Service and are subject to these Terms of Service and the Supplemental Terms applicable to the API and the Add-Ons. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms of Service, if the Supplemental Terms for an API or Add-on directly conflict with specific terms and conditions in these Terms of Service or any other Supplemental Terms, the Supplemental Terms for an API or Add-on will control, but solely for purpose of the specific API and Add-on and not for any other purpose.

Beta Test accounts are non-transferable under any circumstances.

FEES ARE PAYABLE IN ADVANCE AND, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND SUBJECT TO THE STATUTORY OBLIGATIONS (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 1), ARE NOT REFUNDABLE IN WHOLE OR IN PART.

Payment Options for Your Services.

Subscribers/Members in North America, South America, or Asia (including Australia and New Zealand but excluding India). If You reside in North America, South America, or Asia (including Australia and New Zealand but excluding India) and purchase Services from ZeniMax, then You must pay fees using the payment methods made available by ZeniMax for the particular Service (the "Payment Methods") and You agree to the terms and conditions applicable to each Payment Method You choose. Payment Methods may vary by Service and the terms of Your subscription or membership will be in Your Account details. When You provide credit card or other Payment Method information to Bethesda, You represent to Bethesda that You are the authorized user of the credit card or other Payment Method. You must provide current, complete, and accurate information for Your billing account. You must promptly update all information to keep Your billing account current, complete, and accurate (such as a change in billing address, credit card number, or credit card expiration date), and You must promptly notify Bethesda if Your credit card or other Payment Method is canceled (for example, for loss, theft, or expiration). Changes to Your Payment Method information can be made by contacting Customer Services at support.bethsoft.com.

Some Payment Methods require or permit you to choose automatic renewal of Your subscription or membership. In such cases, You are agreeing to permit Bethesda to automatically charge Your credit card, bank card, debit card or other Payment Method associated with Your Account for an automatic renewal of Your current subscription or membership preferences to the applicable Service. You may cancel Your subscription or membership at any time with the termination being effective at the end of the then-current subscription or membership period by revising Your selection in Your Accounts page, or contacting Customer Services at support.bethsoft.com. In order to sign up for automatic renewal, You must keep a valid credit card number or other Payment Method number or information associated with Your Account. Your subscription and membership will automatically renew on the expiration date of the then-current subscription or membership term that You previously subscribed to or were a member of, at a fee no greater than Bethesda's then-current price at the time of renewal, excluding any promotional and discount pricing, unless You cancel Your subscription or membership. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if You have subscribed or registered for or requested an automatic subscription or membership renewal, You agree that Bethesda may charge you or may continue charging You on an automatic recurring basis for Your current subscription or membership preferences unless You cancel Your subscription or membership at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the subscription or membership. If You have subscribed for an automatic subscription or membership renewal but do not have a valid credit card and/or other valid Payment Method information on file and Your subscription or membership expires, You will not be able to receive the benefits associated with the subscription (e.g., resume Game play or any paid Services usage) or membership benefits without updating Your Payment Method information. Bethesda reserves the right to utilize third party credit card updating services to obtain current expiration dates on credit cards provided by You to Bethesda. Customers who use a third party Payment Method may incur additional payment processing fees charged by such third party to its customers, and may not be able to automatically renew subscriptions or memberships.

15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION, ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

If You reside outside the EEA/Switzerland/Australia/New Zealand, then the terms below in this Section 15 apply to You.

Please read this Section 15 carefully. It provides that all Disputes (defined below) between You and ZeniMax shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration replaces the right to go to court. In the absence of this arbitration agreement, You may otherwise have a right or opportunity to bring claims in court, before a judge or jury, and/or participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions, collective actions or representative actions). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 15 or applicable law, entering into these Terms of Service constitutes a waiver of Your right to litigate claims and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow these Terms of Service and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees). The arbitrator may not award damages disclaimed by these Terms of Service.

Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution. 
For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, You must first give ZeniMax an opportunity to resolve the Dispute. You must commence this process by mailing written notification to ZeniMax Media Inc., Attn: Legal Dep't, 1370 Piccard Drive, Rockville, MD 20850 USA. That written notification must include (1) Your name, (2) Your address, (3) a written description of Your Dispute, and (4) a description of the specific relief You seek. If ZeniMax does not resolve the Dispute to your satisfaction within forty-five (45) days after receipt of Your written notification, You may pursue Your Dispute in arbitration. You may pursue Your Dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.

Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt Out. 
Notwithstanding the above, You or ZeniMax may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if (a) the Dispute is initiated in small claims court; or (b) YOU OPT-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST CONSENT TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE (the "Opt-Out Deadline"). You may opt out by mailing written notification to ZeniMax Media Inc., Attn: Legal Dep't, 1370 Piccard Drive, Rockville, MD 20850 USA. Your written notification must include (1) Your name, (2) Your address, and (3) a clear statement that You do not wish to resolve disputes through arbitration. Your decision to opt-out will have no adverse effect on Your relationship with ZeniMax. Any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and You must pursue Your Dispute in arbitration or small claims court.

Continuation. 
This Section 15 shall survive the termination of these Terms of Service and Your use of the Services.

16. UNSOLICITED MATERIALS

If You do send any creative materials, including, but not limited to, feedback, creative suggestions, error corrections, ideas, notes, drawings, fan art, storylines, music, concepts, data, or other Content that is not UGC or a Game Mod, transmitted via the Services, websites, U.S. Postal Service, Fed-Ex, mail, electronic mail or otherwise (collectively "Information"), such creative materials and communications shall to the fullest extent permitted by law be deemed to be the property of ZeniMax and You hereby assign and agree to assign to ZeniMax full and unfettered ownership of all such Information. None of the Information shall be subject to any obligation of confidentiality on the part of ZeniMax and ZeniMax shall not be liable to You for any use or disclosure of any Information. ZeniMax shall exclusively own any now known or hereafter existing rights to the Information of every kind and nature throughout the universe and on any media, and shall be entitled to unrestricted use and exploitation of the Information for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without compensation to, or approval by, You.
