11. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution

a. Negotiations - To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy or
claim related to this License Agreement (“Dispute”), you and Digital Extremes agree to first
attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below)
informally for at least 30 days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such
informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one person to the other. Digital
Extremes will send its notice by email to you at the email address you have provided
to create your Warframe account. You will send your notice to Digital Extremes Ltd. by
submitting a Support Ticket through Customer Support at http://support.warframe.com.
b. Binding Arbitration - If you and Digital Extremes are unable to resolve a Dispute through
informal negotiations, either you or DE may elect to have the Dispute (except those
Disputes expressly excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration.
Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. You
understand that absent this provision, you would have the right to sue in court and have
a jury trial. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the jurisdiction
of Canadian courts. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission
of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need
not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow
applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except
as otherwise provided in this License Agreement, you and DE may litigate in court to compel
arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter
judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

c. Restrictions - You and Digital Extremes agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the
Dispute between DE and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (1)
no arbitration shall be joined with any other; (2) there is no right or authority for any
Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (3)
there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative
capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

d. Exceptions to Negotiations and Arbitration - You and Digital Extremes agree that the
following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations
and binding arbitration: (1) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the
validity of, any of your or DE’s intellectual property rights; (2) any Dispute related to,
or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (3)
any claim for injunctive relief.

12. Miscellaneous

This License Agreement represents the complete agreement between you and Digital Extremes
with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous
agreements between you and Digital Extremes; provided however, that this License Agreement
shall coexist with, and shall not supersede, the Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy. To the
extent that the provisions of this License Agreement conflict with the Terms of Use, the
conflicting provisions in the Terms of Use shall govern.

The Game is operated by Digital Extremes in Canada. Those who choose to access the Game
from locations outside Canada do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance
with applicable local laws.

Digital Extremes’ failure to enforce any provision of this License Agreement shall in no way be
construed to be a present or future waiver of such provision, nor in any way affect the right of
any party to enforce each and every such provision thereafter.

The express waiver by Digital Extremes of any provision, condition or requirement of this
License Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such
provision, condition or requirement. If any provision of this License Agreement is held to be
invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be reformed to the extent
necessary to make it enforceable to the maximum extent permissible so as to affect the intent
of the parties, and the remainder of this License Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect. If, however, it is determined that such provision cannot be reformed, then that provision
shall be deemed severable from these terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability
of any remaining provisions.

The provisions of Sections 2, 3, 4 and 8 through 12 shall survive any termination of this License
Agreement.

If you have any questions concerning these terms and conditions, or if you would like to contact
