> 3. Termination. This License Agreement is effective until terminated. You may
> terminate the License Agreement at any time by destroying the Program. We may terminate
> your rights set forth in Section 1.B. of this License Agreement at any time upon notice to
> you. This License Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event that you fail to

> goods, or to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals

> WARRANTY AND LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THE STEAM AGREEMENT, AND/OR ELSEWHERE IN

> further obligation to provide indemnification to Valve in that matter.
>
> 7. Miscellaneous. Provisions relating to applicable law and jurisdiction, and dispute
> resolution, set forth in the Steam Agreement shall apply to any disputes arising under this
> Agreement. This License Agreement and the Steam Agreement terms incorporated herein may be
> amended, altered or modified at any time by Valve in Valve’s sole discretion. In the event
