•	"Oculus Platform Framework" means the suite of Oculus platform services, including but not limited to the 
Oculus file distribution and update system (enabling distribution and updates of Developer Content by Oculus, 
including through generated activation Keys), entitlement system, and account authentication, which list may 
be changed from time to time in Oculus' sole discretion.

•	"Application Services" means services provided by Oculus associated with the Platform, including but not 
limited to in-app purchasing, multiplayer matchmaking, friends, leader boards, achievements, rooms, voice over

operating system, including but not limited to iOS, Android, Windows, OS X, Linux, and Windows Mobile.

•	"Platform Services" means the Oculus Platform Framework and the Application Services.

3.1 Oculus Platform Services. Oculus makes certain Platform Services available to you to include and enable in 
your Developer Content. Developer Content that enables or includes any Platform Service must implement the 
Oculus Platform Framework with that Developer Content. Once your Developer Content has been authorized for use 
of the Platform Services, you are not required to update your Developer Content to include new Platform 
Services Oculus may make available as part of the Oculus Platform Framework.

3.2 Limited Authorization. You hereby grant Oculus the limited authorization reasonably necessary for Oculus's 
exercise of its rights and performance of its obligations under this Section 3. You agree that Oculus may use 
its contractors and affiliates for the purposes of exercising its rights and licenses set forth in this 
Section 3.

3.3. Internal Use. You agree that Oculus may grant its employees and internal contractors the right to use, 
perform and display the Developer Content you provide to Oculus for testing, evaluation and approval purposes, 
which shall be on a royalty-free basis.

3.4 Key Provision and Redemption. If you request that Oculus generate activation keys for your Developer 
Content on the Platform ("Keys") and Oculus agrees, you hereby grant Oculus (i) the right to generate Keys for 
you and (ii) a license to make available, reproduce, distribute, perform, and display the Developer Content to 
end users who have submitted a Key to Oculus. Oculus agrees to authenticate and make Developer Content 
available to any end user supplying a valid Key (unless the Developer Content has been removed or withdrawn).

3.5 Platform Services Requirements. You will not make any use of any API, software, code or other item or 
information supplied by Oculus in connection with the Platform Services other than to enhance the 
functionality of your Developer Content. In particular, you must not (nor enable others to): (i) defame, 
abuse, harass, stalk, or threaten others, or to promote or facilitate any prohibited or illegal activities; 
(ii) enable any functionality in your Developer Content that would generate excessive traffic over the Oculus 
network or servers that would negatively impact other users' experience, or otherwise interfere with or 
restrict the operation of the Platform Services, or Oculus's servers or networks providing the Platform 
Services; or (iii) remove, obscure, or alter any Oculus license terms, policies or terms of service or any 
links to or notices thereto. You may not sublicense any software, firmware or other item or information 
supplied by Oculus in connection with the Platform Service for use by a third party, unless expressly 
authorized by Oculus to do so. You agree not to use (or encourage the use of) the Platform Services for 
mission critical, life saving or ultra-hazardous activities. Oculus may suspend operation of or remove any 
Developer Content that does not comply with the restrictions in this License.

You will not use the Oculus Avatar associated with the Oculus ID of any end user in your Developer Content 
without the express permission of that end user unless, (i) that end user is actively engaged with your 
Developer Content or (ii) that end user remains part of an active session of your Developer Content with whom 
other end users are interacting, whether or not that end user is then online.

adherence to the terms of this License, as modified by Oculus from time to time.

13. In the event any provision of this License is determined to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable by a 
court or other body of competent jurisdiction, this License shall be construed as if such invalid, prohibited 
or unenforceable provision has been more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable.

14. You may not assign any rights or obligations under this License without the advance written consent of 
Oculus, which may be withheld in its sole discretion. Oculus may assign its rights or obligations under this 
License in its sole discretion.

15. Failure of either party at any time to enforce any of the provisions of this License will not be construed

16. Your remedies under this License shall be limited to the right to collect money damages, if any, and you 
hereby waive your right to injunctive or other equitable relief.

17. You will comply, and will not cause Oculus to not comply (by for example, providing Developer Content to 
Oculus under this Agreement for which required export clearances have not been obtained), with all applicable 
export control laws of the United States and any other applicable governmental authority, including without 
limitation, the U.S. Export Administration Regulations. You agree that this License and the Oculus SDK and 
accompanying documentation are Oculus's confidential information (and is not publicly available), and you will 
not use it, disclose it or make it available to others except in accordance with the terms of this License.

18. This License shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to conflict 
of laws provisions or principles thereof. The parties agree that, except as provided below, all disputes 
relating to this License shall be resolved by binding non-appearance-based arbitration before a single neutral 
arbitrator in San Francisco, California. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language by a single 
arbitrator who is an attorney-at-law with at least fifteen (15) years’ experience in consumer and technology 
transactions and who is also a member of the JAMS roster of arbitrators. If You and Oculus cannot agree on a 
mutually acceptable arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the arbitration is initiated, then JAMS will pick 
a neutral arbitrator who meets such qualifications. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the 
rules and procedures of JAMS then in effect, and the judgment of the arbitrator shall be final and capable of 
entry in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties undertake to keep confidential all awards in their 
arbitration, together with all materials in the proceedings created for the purpose of the arbitration and all 
other documents produced by another party in the proceedings not otherwise in the public domain, save and to 
the extent that disclosure may be required of a party by legal duty, to protect or pursue a legal right or to 
enforce or challenge an award in legal proceedings before a court or other judicial authority. You and Oculus 
agree the following may be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction located within San Francisco, 
California and further agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within San 
Francisco, California in connection with (a) any entrance of an arbitrator's judgment or decision, (b) any 
dispute with respect to the arbitration process or procedure, (c) Oculus’ exercise of any of its equitable 
rights or remedies or (d) any claims regarding the ownership, validity, enforceability and/or infringement of 
any intellectual property rights.
