6. CHEATS, CHEATING AND ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR.
We will not tolerate anyone cheating in GB or any GB Mods. If you are cheating in any way, including any attempt by you, either directly or indirectly, to circumvent or bypass any element of GB or any GB servers to gain any advantage in multiplayer play of GB or any GB Mods, you are in breach of this EULA. It is a breach of this EULA for you, whether directly or indirectly, to create, develop, copy, reproduce, distribute, or use of any software program or any modification to GB or any GB Mods ("Cheats") that enable a player to gain an advantage or otherwise exploit another player when playing against other players on a local area network, any other network, or on the Internet. Hacking into the executable of GB or any GB Mods or any other use of GB or any GB Mods in connection with the creation, development, or use of any such unauthorized Cheats is prohibited under this EULA. Cheats include, but are not limited to, programs that allow players to see through walls or other level geometry (software or hardware “wall hacks”); programs that let players change their rate of speed outside the allowable limits of GB (“speed hacks”); programs that crash any other players, PC clients, or network servers; "aimbots" that automatically target other players or that automatically simulate any other player input to gain an advantage over other players; or any other program or modification that functions in a similar capacity or allows any prohibited conduct.
We also will not tolerate anyone using the game, or any servers or forums provided for the game, to be continually or repeatedly abusive to other players. This includes, but is not limited to, "griefing", racist bigotry, sexism or any other forms of "cyber bullying". We will also not tolerate anyone hosting servers for the game where such behaviors are continually or repeatedly allowed to take place.
If we find you are a Cheater or Abusive, your CD Key will be revoked. Your license will automatically terminate, without notice, and you will have no right to play GB or any GB Mods or make any other use of GB.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, BlackFoot Studios, Epic, and Epic’s affiliates make no warranty that (1) any of the Epic Materials will operate properly, including as integrated in the [Product], (2) that the Epic Materials will meet your requirements, (3) that the operation of the Epic Materials will be uninterrupted, bug free, or error free in any or all circumstances, (4) that any defects in the Epic Materials can or will be corrected, (5) that the Epic Materials are or will be in compliance with a platform manufacturer’s rules or requirements, or (6) that a platform manufacturer has approved or will approve this [Product], or will not revoke approval of this [Product] for any or no reason.

In no event will BlackFoot Studios, Epic, Epic’s licensors, nor its or their affiliates, nor any of BlackFoot Studios' or Epic’s service providers be liable for any loss of profits or any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages, or any other damages arising out of or in connection with this [Agreement] or the Epic Materials, or the delay or inability to use or lack of functionality of the Epic Materials, even in the event of BlackFoot Studios', Epic’s, or Epic’s affiliates’ fault, tort (including negligence), strict liability, indemnity, product liability, breach of contract, breach of warranty, or otherwise and even if BlackFoot Studios, Epic or Epic’s affiliates have been advised of the possibility of such damages. These limitations and exclusions regarding damages apply even if any remedy fails to provide adequate compensation.
Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, the liability of BlackFoot Studios, Epic, Epic’s licensors, its and their affiliates, and any of BlackFoot Studios' or Epic’s service providers shall be limited to the full extent permitted by law.
