Key Points

- The EULA grants users a limited license to play the game and clearly states that the software is provided "as is" without any warranty, leaving players with the sole remedy to stop playing and accessing the service if dissatisfied.
- Hoeg elaborates on the contract's limitation of liability and the prohibition of class action lawsuits against ZeniMax Media, meaning any legal dispute must be resolved through arbitration with a liability cap of $100.
