GAME EVALUATION WAIVER

This is to certify that I, _____________________________________, have submitted an original game design, manuscript or concept to Steve Jackson Games (hereinafter "SJ Games") for evaluation. I certify that this material is the product of my own creative effort and that I am legally able to offer it for sale. I further warrant that this material is not presently being considered for publication by any publisher or other entity, and that I will not submit it for such evaluation for four months after the date of this waiver, or until I receive an evaluation and/or offer from SJ Games, whichever comes first.

It is specifically stated and agreed that this document is neither a contract nor an offer by SJ Games to purchase said design, manuscript or concept, but instead a vehicle for the protection of SJ Games against possible legal actions arising from its evaluation of said material.

It is further understood that SJ Games, according to its own judgment, may accept or reject the material submitted and shall not be obligated to me in any way with respect thereto, unless and until SJ Games shall at its own election enter into a properly executed written agreement with me, and then only according to the terms of the said agreement.

It is further stated and agreed that I, the author of the material submitted, fully understand that SJ Games may already have in its possession or under development similar designs, manuscripts or other creative works bearing a resemblance in subject matter, mechanics, design innovations, concept, theme, etc., to my submission, and that said other works may be published in the future after my present submission has been evaluated and rejected. I hereby agree that, should such a situation occur, I shall have no claim or recourse, legal or otherwise, against SJ Games.
