VALVE

If you run a cyber cafe or other gaming venue, Valve makes it easy for you to bring their games to your customers. Joining the Valve Cyber Cafe Program is the only authorized way to offer their games to your customers. When you sign up and become a member of Valve Cyber Cafe program, you will get benefits like listed below:

All commercial licensing of Valve software is done directly with Valve Corporation. Subscription fees are due on a quarterly basis; however, with the advance purchase of a one-year subscription, cafe owners will receive a 10% discount.

Software purchased from retail stores is not licensed for commercial use such as Cyber Cafe and Club House. If you operate a Cyber Cafe or Club House, Valve Cyber Cafe Program is the legal way to obtain a commercial license and offer Valve's games to your customers.

Valve will provide you with software and product keys for each subscription you have acquired through the Valve Cybercafe Program. Valve may deliver new products or updates to you automatically when released in the Valve Cybercafe Program. You do not have to purchase the underlying products at retail store. Rather, the software will be made accessible to you by Valve.

The licensing fees entitle you to use fully licensed versions of products in the Valve Cyber Cafe Program in your Cyber Cafe or Club House subject to the terms of the Steam Subscriber Agreement and the Subscription Terms for Licensed Cyber Cafe Operators which can be found at:

Games: Valve Cyber Cafe Program subscribers receive access to many of the newly released games on Steam as long as you maintain an active subscription.

Steam Account Protection: Valve's Steam for Cafes Program technology does not use Steam Accounts so Cafe owners no longer have to worry about banned or stolen accounts.

CafeAdministration Server (CAS): The Cafe Administration Server will allow cafes to locally update individual computers on a cafes local area network (reducing bandwidth needs for updates), allow individual users with personal Steam accounts to access their account on any computer station located at a cyber cafe, and manage game subscriptions on a concurrent user basis.

Automatic Updates Delivered Via Steam: All of your game subscriptions will be kept up-to-date with the latest versions using Steam's distribution system. New content, bug fixes, and other items which have traditionally been distributed as "patches" will be handled automatically.

Access to Cafe Technical Support: Members receive technical support services through their Cafe Support Site, for Steam and any game-related problems.

Free Tournament License: Free Tournament License when you hold tournaments at your café - the Tournament License itself is free and gives you the authority to run a tournament. (If you do not have enough café subscriptions to cover your event, temporary tournament subscriptions are available for a small administration fee.)

In my opinion, it is a good deal for the cafes owner
