Steam Subscriber Agreement updated

Downie · Mar 17, 2015

- EU subscribers now have a 14 day window for "THE RIGHT TO WITHDRAW FROM A PURCHASE TRANSACTION FOR DIGITAL CONTENT WITHOUT CHARGE" (it may be cut short when Valve's "PERFORMANCE OF ITS OBLIGATIONS" begins though)
- New Zealand subscribers have additional remedies under the Consumer Guarantees Act of 1993 for software that is of unacceptable quality
- Remedies include: repairing, replacement, or a refund
- Steam Wallet balance limit changes will now have a 60 day email warning, use after 30 days after any changes go into effect constitutes acceptance of new limits
- Password sharing is now illegal under this version of the SSA (interestingly it states Valve can make exceptions)
- Also, this bit: "Any use of your Account with your login and/or password is deemed made by you and you are responsible for it and for the security of your computer system."
- Paid endorsements must now be disclosed
- "Software" references are now "Content and Services"
- In addition to causing damage and creating incompatibilities, you now must acknowledge that beta software may also contain errors too, and can be used only under the specified purposes
- The Source Filmmaker Subscriber Agreement link was curiously removed

So this means when you get scammed through phasing or malware you have tough luck and don't get a refund?

I never understood why Valve bothered to help those dumb fucks clicking random links from random people all this time. Your items, your responsibility. If you're stupid, that's your problem.
