Subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement and so long as you fully comply at all times with this Agreement, Id Software grants to you the non-exclusive and limited right to create for the Software (except any Software code) your own modifications (the "New Creations") that shall operate only with the Software (but not any demo, test, or other version of the Software). You may include within the New Creations certain textures and other images (the "Software Images") from the Software.

|
||
In the event you breach this section or otherwise breach this Agreement, your license and this Agreement automatically shall terminate, without notice, and you shall have no right to play the Software against other players or make any other use of the Software.

You agree that you are receiving a copy of the Software and the Printed Materials by limited license only and not by sale and that the "first sale" doctrine of 17 U.S.C. <20> 109 does not apply to your receipt or use of the Software or the Printed Materials.

Except as set forth below, exclusive venue for all litigation regarding this Agreement shall be in Dallas County, Texas, and you agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in Dallas County, Texas, for any such litigation.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This section shall survive the cancellation or termination of this Agreement.

10. United States Government Restricted Rights. To the extent applicable, the United States Government shall have only those rights to use the Software and the Printed Materials as expressly stated and expressly limited and restricted in this Agreement, as provided in 48 C.F.R. <20><> 227.7201 through 227.7204, inclusive.

11. General Provisions. Neither this Agreement nor any part or portion hereof shall be assigned or sublicensed by you.

Should any provision of this Agreement be held to be void, invalid, unenforceable, or illegal by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity and enforceability of the other provisions shall not be affected thereby. If any provision is determined to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, you agree to a modification of such provision to provide for enforcement of the provision's intent, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Failure of Id Software or Activision to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver of such provision or of the right to enforce such provision.
