4. Uploading to your devices

Using Epic Games’s downloadable apps? Be aware that updates to your device’s software or firmware may make the apps incompatible. Epic Games does not guarantee the website or apps will work with any past or future device updates. Epic Games may provide compatibility updates, but is not required to do so.

5. Data charges

You are responsible for securing your own internet or cellular data access to use the Epic Games website or applications. This includes any data fees charged by your mobile provider for accessing the Epic Games platform on your devices. You will be solely responsible for paying any third-party charges related to your data usage.

6. Content use and copyright restrictions

The content of the Epic Games website, including all information, text, displays, images, audio, and software, is proprietary to Epic Games or its affiliates/licensors. It is protected by Dutch and international copyright, trademark, trade secret, and intellectual property laws. You are only authorized to use the website content for personal use related to your role as a current or prospective Epic Games user.

You may not copy, modify, create derivative works, publicly display/perform, republish, transmit, or distribute any website material without Epic Games’s prior written consent. The sole exceptions are: (a) temporarily storing copies in RAM, (b) automatic browser caching for display enhancement, and (c) printing a reasonable number of pages – as long as you don’t alter or remove any copyright/proprietary notices.

The title and intellectual property rights to the website content remain with Epic Games or the applicable owner, and are not transferred to you.

7. Software and downloads available

The original sentence is quite lengthy and contains multiple clauses covering various aspects of software licensing and usage on the Epic Games website. To improve the clarity and flow, I’ve broken it down into several shorter, more focused sentences:

If Epic Games provides downloads or access to software on its website, you are licensed to use that software. However, you do not own the software – it remains the property of Epic Games. You may only use the software for the specific features and services offered on the Epic Games website, and you may not distribute, modify, reverse engineer, or create derivative works of the software.

This license is revocable by Epic Games at any time, without notice or cause. Upon revocation or termination of your access, you must destroy or return all copies of the software to Epic Games. The software is also subject to the restrictions, disclaimers, and other terms outlined in Epic Games’s Terms of Use.

If the software is covered by a separate end-user license agreement, the terms of that agreement will take precedence over the Epic Games Terms of Use in the event of any conflict.

This rewrite breaks down the key points into clearer, more concise sentences that flow logically. It removes unnecessary details and passive voice to improve readability and understanding. The overall structure is more streamlined while still covering all the relevant information from the original.

8. Accessing and interfering

The original sentence is quite long and contains multiple clauses, making it difficult to read and comprehend. Let’s rewrite it to improve clarity and flow:

You agree not to:

• (a) Use any robot, spider, or other automated device, process, or means to access the Epic Games website.
• (b) Use any manual process to monitor, copy, or use the Epic Games website content for any unauthorized purpose, without Epic Games’s prior written consent.
• (c) Use any device, software, or routine that interferes with the proper functioning of the Epic Games website.
• (d) Attempt to interfere with the proper functioning of the Epic Games website.
• (e) Take any action that imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on Epic Games’s infrastructure.
• (f) Access, reload, or “refresh” transactional pages, or make any other request to transactional servers, more than once every three seconds.

By breaking the original into shorter, more focused sentences, the meaning and requirements are much clearer. The revised version also uses more concise and active language, improving overall flow and readability.

9. Trademarks

Unless otherwise specified in writing, the name, logos, product/service names, designs, and slogans on the Epic Games website or in associated software are trademarks of Epic Games, its affiliates, licensors, and/or contractors. You may not use these trademarks without Epic Games’s prior written permission. All other names, brands, and marks are used solely for identification purposes and may be trademarks of their respective owners.

10. Epic Games and its licensors are responsible for their actions

Epic Games does not assume any liability for the materials, information, or opinions provided on or available through the Epic Games Website (“Epic Games Website Content”). You use the Epic Games Website Content at your own risk. Epic Games disclaims any liability for injury or damages resulting from the use of the Epic Games Website or its content.

The website is provided “as is” and “as available,” without any warranties or guarantees, expressed or implied, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Epic Games’s total liability under these Terms of Use shall not exceed EUR 500.

11. Engaging with fellow users

As a condition of accessing the Epic Games Website, you release Epic Games and its affiliates from any claims, demands, or damages (actual or consequential) arising from disputes with other users. Epic Games has the right, but not the obligation, to resolve such disputes in good faith. If Epic Games chooses to resolve a dispute, you release Epic Games and its affiliates from any related claims, demands, or damages.

The rewrite addresses several issues with the original sentence:

• 1. Clarity – The rewrite breaks up the long, complex original sentence into two clearer, more concise sentences.
• 2. Wordiness – Unnecessary phrases like “of every kind and nature” have been removed to make the language more direct.
• 3. Repetition – The repeated “You release Epic Games (and its shareholders, partners, affiliates, directors, officers, subsidiaries, employees, agents, suppliers, third party information providers, licensors, licensees, distributors and contractors) from claims, demands and damages…” has been consolidated.
• 4. Flow – The sentence structure and transitions between clauses have been improved for better readability and flow.

Overall, the rewritten version is more clear, concise, and impactful, while retaining the key information from the original.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Epic Games, along with its shareholders, partners, affiliates, directors, officers, subsidiaries, employees, agents, suppliers, information providers, licensors, licensees, distributors, contractors, and any other parties involved with the Epic Games website or the delivery of its products, services, and information, harmless from any and all liabilities, expenses, damages, and costs – including reasonable attorney’s fees – that arise from your violation of these Terms of Use or your use of the Epic Games website and its offerings.

The rewritten sentence streamlines the language, improves flow, and clarifies the key points. It breaks up the long list of parties into a more concise phrasing. It also reorganizes the sentence structure to present the key information – the indemnification agreement – more clearly upfront. Overall, this version is more readable and impactful.

13. Feedback and submissions

This includes any developments or derivative works that Epic Games creates based on your submissions.

14. Alternatives to other websites

The Epic Games website contains links to other websites, but Epic Games is not responsible for or endorsing the content, products, services, or practices of any third-party sites. This includes websites framed within the Epic Games site, as well as third-party advertisements. Epic Games makes no representations about the quality, accuracy, or suitability of these third-party websites and ads. Use of third-party sites is at your own risk and subject to their terms of use.

Neither Epic Games, its licensors, nor contractors make any express or implied warranties regarding the goods or services offered by third-party merchants, including warranties of merchantability, fitness, title, non-infringement, or compatibility.

15. Defamation of copyright and other intellectual property rights

Epic Games reserves the right to terminate or limit your access to the Epic Games Website if it determines, at its sole discretion, that you have repeatedly infringed upon the intellectual property rights associated with the website. This includes instances where you infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, even if it is not considered repeat infringement.

If you become aware of any content that infringes on a third party’s copyright, intellectual property rights, or privacy, please contact our privacy agent at epicgamescenter07@gmail.com. This includes any content you believe violates our Terms of Use.

16. Choosing which law to follow

These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the Netherlands, without regard for any conflicts of law. If the consumer protection laws in your country of residence affect your compliance with or our rights under these Terms, you should not use our Epic Games Website.

For any disputes related to the Epic Games Website’s Terms of Use, the competent court in Amsterdam, Netherlands shall have jurisdiction. However, if you reside in an EU member state or a country where this jurisdiction clause is prohibited by local law, it does not apply to you. In such cases, you remain protected by the mandatory consumer protection laws of your home country.

17. Miscellaneous

These Terms of Use, as may be updated from time to time, constitute the complete and exclusive agreement between you and Epic Games regarding the Epic Games Website. No other terms, whether communicated orally or in any other way, shall have any legal effect. Additionally, any claims or causes of action related to the Epic Games Website must be filed within one year of when the claim or cause of action arose, or they will be barred.

You agree that violating any restrictions in these Terms of Use on using the Epic Games Website, its content, or related software/services could cause Epic Games irreparable harm. Legal remedies may be insufficient in such cases. Additionally, Epic Games’s licensors and contractors are third-party beneficiaries of applicable terms, including warranty disclaimers and liability limitations. They have the right to directly enforce your obligations under these Terms against you.

The original text contains several statements that could be improved for clarity and flow. Here is my rewrite:

If any part of these Terms of Use is unenforceable, that portion will be interpreted to reflect the original intentions of the parties as closely as possible. The rest of the provisions in these Terms of Use will remain in full force.

The sections related to Epic Games’s intellectual property rights, disclaimers, liability limitations, choice of law, indemnification, and any licenses granted by you to Epic Games will survive any termination of these Terms.

Epic Games’s failure to strictly enforce any provision does not constitute a waiver of that provision. Neither Epic Games’s course of conduct with you, nor any trade practices, shall be deemed to modify these Terms of Use.
