WARRANTY
Ubisoft warrants to the original purchaser of its products that the products will be free from defects in materials and
workmanship for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of purchase. Ubisoft products are sold “as is,” without
any expressed or implied warranties of any kind, and Ubisoft is not liable for any losses or damages of any kind
resulting from use of its products. Ubisoft agrees for a period of ninety (90) days to either replace defective product
free of charge provided you return the defective item with dated proof of purchase to the store from which the
product was originally purchased or repair or replace the defective product at its option free of charge, when
accompanied with a proof of purchase and sent to our offices postage prepaid. This warranty is not applicable to
normal wear and tear, and shall be void if the defect in the product is found to be as a result of abuse,
unreasonable use, mistreatment, or neglect of the product.
Limitations: This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties and no other representations or claims of any nature
shall be binding on, or obligate Ubisoft. Any implied warranties applicable to Ubisoft products, including warranties
of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, are limited to the ninety (90) day period described above. In
no event will Ubisoft be liable for any special, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from possession, use,
or malfunction of Ubisoft products. Some states do not allow limitations as to how long an implied warranty lasts
and/or exclusions or limitations of incidental or consequential damages. So the above limitations and/or exclusions
of liability may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific rights, and you may also have other rights that
vary from state to state.
Notice: Ubisoft reserves the right to make improvements in its products at any time and without notice.
Refunds: Ubisoft cannot provide refunds or otherwise process returns for credit of any kind other than an identical
product replacement. Any product refund request must occur at the place of purchase, as the individual retail outlets
set their own refund policy. This policy covers identical product replacements only.
Product/Documentation Replacements: Please contact a Ubisoft Technical Support Representative directly
before sending your product to us. In many cases, a replacement is not the best solution. Our Support
Representatives will help you determine if a replacement is necessary or available. You will need to first acquire an
RMA (Return Materials Authorization) number to process your return or replacement. Without an RMA number from
a Support Representative, your replacement request will not be processed.
If we determine a return or replacement is necessary:
Within the 90-Day Warranty Period: Please return the product (media only) along with a copy of the original
sales receipt, showing the date of purchase, a brief description of the difficulty you are experiencing including your
name, address (no PO boxes) and phone number to the address below. If the product was damaged through misuse or
accident (cracks, scratches), or if you do not have a dated sales receipt, then this 90-day warranty is rendered void and
you will need to follow the instructions for returns after the 90-day warranty period.
After the 90-Day Warranty Period: Please return the product (media only) along with a check or money
order for the amount corresponding to your product (see replacement fees below) made payable to Ubisoft, a brief
description of the difficulty you are experiencing, including your name, address (no PO boxes), RMA number, and
phone number to the address below.

PlaYInG THe Game
THe CelesTIal WaR
A thousand years ago the world was in balance. For light there was darkness, for darkness, light
– but Ahriman the God of Darkness was hungry and he stretched out his shadow sending for th
his corrupted followers to conquer all he did not possess.
Unwilling to be a party to the destruction, Ormazd the God of Light retreated from Ahriman
hoping for peace, but as the Corruption spread, overcoming even the City of Light, Ormazd was
forced to act. The world was plunged into war.
Outnumbered, Ormazd and his Ahura, the Warriors of the Light, faced destruction until Ormazd
tricked Ahriman into the Tree of Life, supposedly sealing him there for eternity. With the war finished, Ormazd surveyed the destruction that resulted from his reluctance to act. Unable to face
the consequences of his actions, Ormazd turned his back upon the world and left for the stars.
For a thousand years the Ahura have tended the Tree, keeping Ahriman imprisoned. As time has
passed, their faith and powers have waned. Their city has fallen to ruins and the Ahura have
dwindled to but a mere handful of the faithful. Now, Ahriman’s voice can be heard whispering
from his prison and the balance of the world is set to change once more.

The wind is free, but the sand goes where it is blown.
Unaware of the world around it, whirling on the breath of the Gods,
at the mercy of the storm that engulfs it.
What is one grain of sand in the desert?
One grain amongst the storm?
