|
||
|
|
||
|
Part 1 - General Terms
|
||
|
|
||
|
PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE PROGRAM.
|
||
|
Adaptec WILL LICENSE THE PROGRAM TO YOU ONLY IF YOU FIRST ACCEPT THE
|
||
|
TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. BY USING THE PROGRAM YOU AGREE TO THESE
|
||
|
TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT,
|
||
|
PROMPTLY RETURN THE UNUSED PROGRAM TO THE PARTY (EITHER Adaptec OR
|
||
|
ITS RESELLER) FROM WHOM YOU ACQUIRED IT TO RECEIVE A REFUND OF
|
||
|
THE AMOUNT YOU PAID.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The Program is owned by (Adaptec) or a supplier of Adaptec
|
||
|
and is copyrighted and licensed, not sold.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The term "Program" means the original program and all whole or
|
||
|
partial copies of it. A Program consists of machine-readable
|
||
|
instructions, its components, data, audio-visual content (such
|
||
|
as images, text, recordings, or pictures), and related licensed
|
||
|
materials.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This Agreement includes Part 1 - General Terms and Part 2
|
||
|
Country unique Terms and is the complete agreement regarding the
|
||
|
use of this Program, and replaces any prior oral or written
|
||
|
communications between you and Adaptec. The terms of Part 2 may
|
||
|
replace or modify those of Part 1.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. License
|
||
|
|
||
|
Use of the Program
|
||
|
|
||
|
Adaptec grants you a nonexclusive license to use the Program.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You may 1) use the Program to the extent of authorizations you
|
||
|
have acquired and 2) make and install copies to support the
|
||
|
level of use authorized, providing you reproduce the copyright
|
||
|
notice and any other legends of ownership on each copy, or
|
||
|
partial copy, of the Program.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you acquire this Program as a program upgrade, your
|
||
|
authorization to use the Program from which you upgraded is
|
||
|
terminated.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You will ensure that anyone who uses the Program does so only in
|
||
|
compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You may not 1) use, copy, modify, or distribute the Program
|
||
|
except as provided in this Agreement; 2) reverse assemble,
|
||
|
reverse compile, or otherwise translate the Program except as
|
||
|
specifically permitted by law without the possibility of
|
||
|
contractual waiver; or 3) sublicense, rent, or lease the
|
||
|
Program.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Transfer of Rights and Obligations
|
||
|
|
||
|
You may transfer all your license rights and obligations under a
|
||
|
Proof of Entitlement for the Program to another party by
|
||
|
transferring the Proof of Entitlement and a copy of this
|
||
|
Agreement and all documentation. The transfer of your license
|
||
|
rights and obligations terminates your authorization to use the
|
||
|
Program under the Proof of Entitlement.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
2. Proof of Entitlement
|
||
|
|
||
|
The Proof of Entitlement for this Program is evidence of your
|
||
|
authorization to use this Program and of your eligibility for
|
||
|
future upgrade program prices (if announced) and potential
|
||
|
special or promotional opportunities.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
3. Charges and Taxes
|
||
|
|
||
|
Adaptec defines use for the Program for charging purposes and
|
||
|
specifies it in the Proof of Entitlement. Charges are based on
|
||
|
extent of use authorized. If you wish to increase the extent of
|
||
|
use, notify Adaptec or its reseller and pay any applicable charges.
|
||
|
Adaptec does not give refunds or credits for charges already due or
|
||
|
paid.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If any authority imposes a duty, tax, levy or fee, excluding
|
||
|
those based on Adaptec's net income, upon the Program supplied by
|
||
|
Adaptec under this agreement, then you agree to pay that amount
|
||
|
as Adaptec specifies or
|
||
|
supply exemption documentation.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
4. No Warranty
|
||
|
|
||
|
SUBJECT TO ANY STATUTORY WARRANTIES WHICH CAN NOT BE EXCLUDED,
|
||
|
Adaptec MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
|
||
|
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT
|
||
|
AND THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
|
||
|
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, REGARDING THE PROGRAM OR TECHNICAL SUPPORT,
|
||
|
IF ANY. Adaptec MAKES NO WARRANTY REGARDING THE CAPABILITY OF THE
|
||
|
PROGRAM TO CORRECTLY PROCESS, PROVIDE AND/OR RECEIVE DATE DATA
|
||
|
WITHIN AND BETWEEN THE 20TH AND 21ST CENTURIES.

||
|
|
||
|
Manufacturers, suppliers, or publishers of non-Adaptec Programs may
|
||
|
provide their own warranties.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
5. Limitation of Liability
|
||
|
|
||
|
NEITHER Adaptec NOR ITS SUPPLIERS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT OR
|
||
|
INDIRECT
|
||
|
|
||
|
DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOST
|
||
|
SAVINGS, OR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR OTHER ECONOMIC
|
||
|
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF Adaptec IS INFORMED OF THEIR
|
||
|
POSSIBILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR
|
||
|
LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE
|
||
|
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
|
||
|
