1. Application of this EUALA and Access to Software

This EUALA governs your use of EA's Game software, any updates, upgrades and expansions that replace or supplement EA's Game software, and all related documentation which are not distributed with a separate license (collectively, the "Software").

This EUALA does not give you any right to obtain reissues or replacements of the Software at any time; furthermore, EA or any third party service provider that may operate the Game (an "Operator") is not obliged to supply Software updates, upgrades or expansions, or even to operate or continue support the Game or Software, for an indefinite period. EA and/or Operators may terminate and cease supporting the Game with sixty days' notice posted at www.ea.com. In the event that EA supplies any Software updates, upgrades or other modifications to the Software, you agree that you may be required to install or patch the Software in the manner decided by EA in its sole discretion so as to continue Game play.

To gain access to the Software, you must (a) have acquired the Software (whether on DVD-ROM, CD-ROM or other physical media or by online download) by legal means, (b) have installed the Software on your computer and (c) have accepted this EUALA.

The Game is only playable online, and Internet access (not supplied by EA) is required at all times to play. The Software alone does not give you the right to play the Game. You must use the Software to access EA or EA-authorized servers on which the Game is hosted, to play the Game. You are responsible for all taxes and costs of acquiring any hardware, software or other products or services required to play the Game. To play the Game, you may need to enter into additional agreements with EA or with an Operator, pay additional fees, and/or agree to additional terms including terms of service, a privacy policy and/or a code of conduct. You will also need to agree to the Punkbuster end user license agreement. You may need to pay additional fees or purchase credits/points and/or SpeedBoost and provide additional information to create an account with EA and/or an Operator (an "Account"). Accounts may only be available to persons of legal age and, solely under the supervision of such persons, to any of their children under the age of majority. If you are a minor, your parents, guardians or legal carers must complete the registration procedure, whereby they must take all responsibility concerning the obligations set forth in this EUALA.

This EUALA may be modified by EA at any time. You can view the EUALA at any time by visiting the applicable Internet site for the Game. We may notify you of modifications a) before you play the Game and/or b) via a specific notice on the applicable Internet site for the Game. All modifications will take effect thirty (30) days after their announcement.  In any event, you agree to check the Website and review this EUALA periodically to familiarise yourself with any modifications that may occur. If you do not agree with any future modifications to this EUALA, or are unable to continue to remain in compliance with the same, you must cease your use of the Software and of the Game. You may terminate this EUALA in accordance with Section 5. Your continued use of the Software and play of the Game after a modification of the EUALA will be deemed as your acceptance of any modified terms.

This Software is licensed, and not sold. You have obtained a license to the Software and your rights are subject to this Agreement. Except as expressly licensed to you herein, EA reserves all right, title and interest in the Software and the Game which you use the Software to play (including all characters, storyline, images, photographs, animations, video, music, text and in-game virtual property), and all associated copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights therein. The license granted under this EUALA is limited to the intellectual property rights of EA and its licensors in the Software, as necessary to use the Software and play the Game as permitted under this EUALA, and does not include any rights to other patents or intellectual property. This EUALA does not grant any rights relating to any brands or services connected with the Software or Game.

Except to the extent permitted under applicable law, you may not decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer the Software by any means whatsoever. You may not extract code from all or part of the Software, or authorise any third party to perform or to attempt to perform such operations on the Software. You may not remove, alter, or obscure any product identification, copyright, or other intellectual property notices in the Software.

It is strictly prohibited to use the Software to connect with or play the Game or any facsimile thereof on any servers that are not authorized by EA or any Operator ("grey shards" or the like). In addition, you may not emulate or operate such servers or assist any third party to do so.

It is also strictly prohibited to use any third-party software or any other device with a view to modifying the Software in any way, intercepting or scanning Game traffic or communications, changing the way the Game plays or playing in an abnormal manner or in a way that could impair the correct operation of the Game. Such prohibited third party software or devices can include, but are not limited to, those in the nature of "addons", "hacks", "cheats", "trainers", "mods", or the like by any name. The authorisations granted to you in accordance with this EUALA may under no circumstances be used for the purpose of creating or supplying any opportunity for third parties to access the Game, including through server emulators or similar devices. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that EA or an Operator may scan your computer's memory or hard disk drive to detect or locate any such unauthorized third party program or devices, with or without any prior notice to you at any time.  Furthermore, you may not use the Software in a manner that would impose an unreasonable or disproportionate burden on the infrastructure of EA or any Operator.

C. No Rights Over Results Of Use Of Software Or Over In-Game Content

This EUALA grants you a simple license to use the Software to play the Game. You have no rights to or in the Game or its content.

All of the aforementioned actions, especially those performed via online auctions, forums or chat rooms, will therefore contravene the terms of this EUALA. Over and above the violation of the terms of this EUALA, which will entitle EA to terminate this EUALA and your license to use the Software and play the Game, you acknowledge that the unauthorised trading or other distribution of Game content is detrimental to EA's image and that of the Game, and EA reserves the right to seek compensation from you to the fullest extent permissible by applicable law.
