USERNAME:montcer9012#Q&_^Q&Q#GROUP:4#Q&_^Q&Q#LINK:13#Q&_^Q&Q#It is normal to find those kinds of disclosure agreements in corporative contracts, as those are just fancy words :P

Most Incoterms contracts include "X may not be responsible for: Y, Z, ANY act of god" ... Like, how to classify what is an act of god? Hahahaha.

If the time comes and someone goes into a trial under that contract, usually, will won the party with the smartest lawyer who explains the best why his reality is perceived to be the true.

To be honest, will be interesting how this whole matter evolves...#Q&_^Q&Q#LINK:13#Q&_^Q&Q#

Or if the game gets removed from your system, it's not their fault.

If GOG decides to remove a game from your GOG account, which they (GOG) gave you for free... yes, that is not Steam's fault.

As if.

zeroxxx: Just close your GOG account. One whiny brat (or a few more) doesn't affect the larger picture.

DampSquib: Optional service, uhhh so don't use it, end of problem.

terrisus: I just want to ensure that, as long as one does not install this Trojan horse of a program, one can continue to use GOG without being subjected to that nonsense.
It is referring to the steam api and the steam service. If you have a steam account, I assure you that you have almost certainly agreed to something like this in setting up your account. If you don't have a steam account, then this doesn't apply to you at all, as you have no way and no reason to use this service.

Either way, there is no problem for you here. You can safely ignore it.

terrisus: Is there any way I can ensure that none of my information, games, data, or other such stuff is in any way connected or shared with Valve/Steam, so that I never have to, as stated in the new GOG policy,
avatar
zeogold: Let's face it:
Is there ever? I mean, you can sign all the agreements and contracts that you want, but whenever buying ANYTHING, you never have any assurance that data about you isn't being shared. If it happened, how would you know about it? All you have is their word.
It's like giving your server your credit card at a restaurant. You have no idea whether they've installed a skimmer of some sort or are writing down the numbers/taking pictures of the card for later.
Everything requires trust, whether we realize it or not.
Basically results in the same reply this post did:

We're not talking about "Acts of God" wording here - which I am well acquainted with, having worked in various positions with contracts with those types of wording, and needing to enforce them.

This isn't "Acts of God," though.
This is "IN NO EVENT WILL VALVE OR ANY SUPPLIER BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES"

So: "In no event" + "Any"


Sorry if you felt I was ignoring you, just figured it didn't need repeating.

Exactly, the T&C in this case uses plain language, makes a nice change tbh...
Anyway, you have your answer from a few now, so you should be golden.

Nice, secret of mana avatar, *sniff * memories.

I think I'm going to go back in the other anti-Connect thread and continue the conversation I was having about 'Stump Fuckers'.

See you all later. :D
