IMPORTANT NOTICE: This End User License Agreement (the “Agreement”) sets forth the terms and conditions governing your use of the “Black Desert” video game and its related software, websites, and services (collectively, the “Game Software”) provided by Pearl Abyss Corp., together with its subsidiaries and affiliates (“Pearl Abyss,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). By installing, copying, downloading, accessing, or otherwise using the Game Software, you (“User,” “Member,” or “you”) acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Agreement, as well as the Privacy Policy and any other applicable terms issued by Pearl Abyss or third-party platform providers (such as Valve Corporation). If you do not agree to this Agreement, you must not install or use the Game Software.
Please note that this Agreement was originally drafted in the English language. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between this Agreement in English and any version translated into another language, the English language version shall prevail.

Any conditions imposed by Valve may limit the rights granted to you hereunder.

Article 2. Ownership
‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 1.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 1. Exclusion of Certain Damages. Unless arising out of Pearl Abyss’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, in no event shall Pearl Abyss be liable for any direct, special, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages (including loss of use, loss of profits, or loss of data), whether arising in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise.
‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 2. Liability Cap. To the extent permissible under applicable law, and unless arising out of Pearl Abyss’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, the total aggregate liability of Pearl Abyss for any claim relating to the Game Software or any linked site or service shall not exceed the amount, if any, you have paid to Pearl Abyss for the relevant activity or service.
‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 3. Jurisdictional Variations. Certain jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages; thus, some or all of the foregoing exclusions or limitations may not apply to you.

Article 11. Injunction
You acknowledge that any breach of this Agreement could result in irreparable harm to Pearl Abyss for which monetary damages would be inadequate.
