All provisions of this Agreement that refer to the “Game Software” shall also include all such patches, updates and modifications.
LIMITED WARRANTY
You are aware and agree that use of the Game Software and the media on which it is recorded is at your sole risk. For distribution via physical media (e.g. DVD, CD-ROM, etc.), SMU warrants to the original consumer purchaser of the Game Software that the recording medium on which the Game Software is recorded shall be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of ninety (90) days from the original date of purchase (the “Limited Warranty”). If a defect covered by the Limited Warranty occurs during this ninety (90) day period, the defective Game Software shall be replaced by the retailer from which you purchased the Game Software, free of charge. Please retain the original or a photocopy of your dated sales receipt to establish the date of purchase for in-warranty replacement. For replacement, return the product, with its original packaging and receipt, to the retailer from which the software was originally purchased. In the event that you cannot obtain a replacement from the retailer, please contact SMU at gamelab@smu.edu.
THE FOREGOING IS YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION.
This Limited Warranty does not apply if the defects have been caused by your negligence, accident, unreasonable use, modification, tampering, or any other causes not related to defective materials or manufacturing workmanship, and SMU and its licensors shall not be held liable for any damage, injury or loss if caused as a result of any of these reasons.
This Limited Warranty does not apply to copies of the Game Software obtained through digital distribution (e.g. Steam, Epic Store, etc.), warranties for which are covered exclusively by the operators of said means of distribution.
The provisions of this Limited Warranty are valid in the United States only.
OTHER THAN EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE GAME SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF CONDITION, UNINTERRUPTED USE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NONINFRINGEMENT. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN ADVICE OR INFORMATION GIVEN BY SMU OR ANY OF ITS AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY OR IN ANY WAY INCREASE THE SCOPE OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY.
Some states and jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of, or limitations on, limited or implied warranties, and in such states and jurisdictions, SMU’s and its licensors’ liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. You may have other rights that vary from state-to-state or from jurisdiction-to-jurisdiction. Under no circumstances shall any implied warranty required by law exceed the 90-day period of the Limited Warranty above.
