THE SIMPLE RULES REGARDING THE SALE OF USER DEVELOPED QUAKE II LEVELS AND/OR UTILITIES: -- User-developed/user-modified maps & utilities can only work with the full version of Quake II. (Just to be crystal clear on this point: user- developed/user-modified maps & utilities cannot work with the demo or any version of Quake II other than the full version.) -- Maps/utilities that are made for Quake II cannot be rented, sold or commercially exploited by any other means. The full version Limited Use Software License Agreement will give you the limited right to develop maps/utilities that use id data. This limited right does not include the right for anyone to sell anything that includes id data or any other id property. 3. COMMERCIAL EXPLOITATION LICENSE FOR QUAKE II If you are interested in trying to make money using the full version of Quake II (not allowed using the demo) you must sign our easy-to-digest Commercial Exploitation License. This license is to be used by folks desiring to use the full version of Quake II to set up pay-per-play (location based orarcade centers) stations, for profit online servers, or other applications where the actual code or graphics from the full version of Quake II is used for profit. Of course, id does not give any warranty or representations as to whether you will make any profit. You assume 100% of the risk. This is a license that allows you to run Quake II for a profit through a cer- tain monthly gross profit range without payment to id Software other that the initial $500 processing fee. If your Quake II-related business becomes successful the agreement brings id into the revenue stream. Basic terms of the commercial exploitation license: -- License grants a commercial exploitation right for the full version of Quake II as a whole without payment to id Software (except for the $500 processing fee) so long as the monthly gross revenue from Quake II $5,000.00 or below. You must make a nonrefundable and nonrecoupable pay- ment of $500 for the costs of processing the license. -- License provides for a 12.5% royalty to be paid to id software in months where the licensee's Quake II related monthly gross revenue is above $5,000.00. For those months, you will be obligated to pay on 100% of your monthly gross revenue. -- Royalty is based off net income. The term "Net Income" shall mean all revenue received by you as Licensee from the commercial use of Quake II, less only actual, reasonable and necessary documented costs relating directly to such use. -- License expressly prohibits commercial exploitation via the sale (retail or otherwise) of any versions of Quake II. -- License expressly prohibits advertising/marketing use of our copyrighted, trademarked, or other properties. -- This license is not intended for use by folks developing Quake II maps and/or utilities. Please reference the section titled "The simple rules for Quake II map/utility distribution:" for info on this subject.

You have no rights until such time as id executes and delivers to you an original of the Commercial Exploitation License.
