CD PROJEKT RED User Agreement

1.1 This Agreement. This Agreement is a legally binding contract between you and CD PROJEKT S.A., seated at ul. Jagiellonska 74; 03-301, Warsaw, Poland.

Just so you know, CD PROJEKT RED is the name of the game development studio within CD PROJEKT S.A., so we will refer to ourselves throughout this Agreement as "CD PROJEKT RED", "we" or "us".

This Agreement applies to cyberpunk.net, thewitcher.com, cdprojektred.com, any other CD PROJEKT RED websites, any and all CD PROJEKT RED games (except those specifically mentioned below) including The Witcher, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, The Witcher Battle Arena or The Witcher Adventure Game, CD PROJEKT RED forums, wikis, blogs, social media accounts, CD PROJEKT RED accounts, CD PROJEKT RED customer and technical support and any other services we provide to you (we'll call all this "CD PROJEKT RED games and services" for short).

This Agreement does not apply to Gwent or Cyberpunk 2077, which each have their own legal documents (you can find Gwent’s EULA here and Cyberpunk 2077’s EULA here).

It is binding on you and us once you use any CD PROJEKT RED games and services. If you do not agree to it, you are not permitted to use the CD PROJEKT RED games and services.

Important: please also make sure you read our: (a) game/service specific rules (e.g. the Witcher 3 EULA) - which explain in more detail the legal rules for specific games or services; and (b) CD PROJEKT RED Privacy Policy - which details CD PROJEKT RED’s collection, usage and protection of your personal information. Our Fan Content Guidelines explain what you can and cannot do with fan content about our games and services. All of these documents form part of this Agreement and we may update them from time to time. You may also need to agree and follow terms and conditions of any digital distribution platforms which you use to access and play CD PROJEKT RED games and services, such as our awesome sister company GOG.

Our modding tools for The Witcher, and REDKit for The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, are covered by their existing legal documents.

1.2. Age Restrictions. Every CD PROJEKT RED videogame has its own age rating (e.g. PEGI, ESRB) which may differ depending on where you are located and will be displayed when you purchase the game. You should only play our games if you meet the applicable minimum age rating. If you are above the applicable minimum age rating and you are over 18 (or whatever is the age of adulthood in your country) then please enjoy our games. If you are under 18 (or whatever is the age of adulthood in your country) – before we extend an equally warm welcome, please ask your parent or guardian to review and approve this Agreement on your behalf (because in some countries people under a certain age cannot legally enter fully into contracts like this Agreement), plus they should supervise your use of the games, even if the age rating for a given game is lower than 18 year.

1.3 Content Warning. Some CD PROJEKT RED games and services contain scenes and images of violence, sexuality, and drug use that some may find disturbing. If you are sensitive to such content or such content is a trigger for you, please be aware of this before you begin playing the game.

2.1 Licence. We give you the personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-assignable licence to display, view, download, install, play and use CD PROJEKT RED games and services on your personal computer, games consoles and/or other devices/platforms that are explicitly authorised by CD PROJEKT RED (which are listed separately for each game on their respective websites).This licence is for your personal use only (so you can't give, ‘sell’, lend, gift, assign, sub-license or otherwise transfer it to someone else) and doesn't give you ownership rights in the CD PROJEKT RED games and services.

2.2 Seizure Warning. Some CD PROJEKT RED games and services may contain flashing lights and images, which may induce epileptic seizures. If you or anyone in your household has an epileptic condition, please consult your doctor before using the CD PROJEKT RED games and services. If you experience dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of awareness, disorientation, any involuntary movement, or convulsions while playing, immediately discontinue use and consult your doctor.

3.1 We may release 'beta' versions of CD PROJEKT RED games and services before their full commercial release. If so:
• your access to the beta will usually be time-limited and there may be some additional contract terms;
• you will probably be asked to participate in a feedback process in which you can offer information about how the beta works;
• the beta software will be provided 'as is' without any additional promises from us or any liability on us if the software isn't complete or doesn't work fully or causes issues. After all, that's the point of us giving you beta access: you get beta access to something new, but you recognise that it won't be complete yet; and
• the game or service may have specific legal rules of its own for its beta, so check them out.

4.1 GOG Galaxy. Some of our games or services may involve optional use of GOG Galaxy, an online service being created by our sister company GOG.com. Using GOG Galaxy may offer you certain benefits that wouldn’t otherwise be available to you, but it will always be totally optional, DRM-free (no copy-protection, on-line checks or authentications) and up to you.

5.1 Minimum Requirements. Each CD PROJEKT RED game and service will have minimum requirements depending on your chosen device/system/platform (e.g. on our game store pages). Please make sure your system meets these requirements (particularly before buying any games)! Online elements of our games or services may need Internet access too. We do not include any DRM in our games ourselves, but some console/device manufacturers use security technology which is outside of our control.

6.1 Occasionally we may need to patch or update CD PROJEKT RED games and services (for example to add or remove features,to resolve software bugs or to balance our games). This may result in mandatory and/or automatic updates and older, non-updated versions may become unusable over time. We need these rights in order to keep our games and services running efficiently.
