Steam Subscriber Agreement

This document governs your relationship with Steam: it sets out what you can and cannot do with your account and the games and services you access through it. Your account is personal and cannot be shared, sold, or transferred, and all purchases are final except under Steam's Refund Policy. If anything goes wrong — including situations where Steam is at fault — you generally cannot recover lost profits or other consequential losses, and Steam makes no guarantees about the quality or availability of its services.

The Steam Subscriber Agreement establishes the terms under which Valve grants users a non-exclusive, personal, non-commercial license to access Steam's Content and Services, while imposing strict account confidentiality, personal-use, and advance-payment obligations on subscribers. Users grant Valve and its affiliates a broad worldwide license to exploit User Generated Content across a wide range of uses without further permission or compensation. The Agreement disclaims all warranties to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and excludes Valve's liability for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, and exemplary damages even where Valve is at fault, negligent, or in breach of warranty. Acceptable-use restrictions prohibit all forms of automation, cheat creation or facilitation, interference with anti-cheat systems, and unauthorized reproduction or reverse engineering of Steam content. Refunds are available under Valve's Refund Policy without prejudice to any applicable statutory rights, and all charges are otherwise final and payable in advance.

As a Steam user, your account and subscriptions are strictly personal — you cannot share login credentials, sell your account, or transfer your game library to someone else. Any content you submit to Steam can be used, modified, and distributed by Valve globally without additional permission or payment to you. All purchases are final and paid upfront; refunds are only available under the terms of Valve's separate Refund Policy, though your statutory rights under applicable law are preserved. If you promote or endorse products on Steam in exchange for any benefit — including free games — you must clearly disclose that arrangement to your audience. If you believe you are owed a refund, you can request one under Valve's Refund Policy.
