|
|
CONDITIONS, EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
|
|
LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, DUTIES OR CONDITIONS RELATING TO
|
|
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY OR
|
|
COMPLETENESS OF RESPONSES, RESULTS, WORKMANLIKE EFFORT, LACK OF VIRUSES,
|
|
LACK OF NEGLIGENCE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, QUIET POSSESSION,

|
|
|
|
Without limitation, TPC (and its licensors) do not warrant that the
|
|
functions contained in the Software or Materials will meet Your
|
|
requirements or that the operation of the Software will be
|
|
uninterrupted, error-free or free from malicious code. For purposes of
|
|
this paragraph, "malicious code" means any program code designed to
|
|
contaminate other computer programs or computer data, consume computer
|
|
resources, modify, destroy, record, or transmit data, or in some other
|
|
fashion usurp the normal operation of the computer, computer system, or
|
|
computer network, including viruses, Trojan horses, droppers, worms,
|
|
logic bombs, and the like. TPC (and its licensors) shall not be liable
|
|
for the accuracy of any information provided by TPC or third-party
|
|
technical support personnel, or any damages caused, either directly or
|
|
indirectly, by acts taken or omissions made by You as a result of such
|
|
technical support.
|
|
|
|
You assume full responsibility for the selection of the Materials to
|
|
achieve Your intended results, and for the installation, use and results
|
|
obtained from the Materials. You also assume the entire risk as it
|
|
applies to the quality and performance of the Materials. Should the
|
|
Materials prove defective, You (and not TPC) assume the entire liability
|
|
of any and all necessary servicing, repair or correction. Some
|
|
countries/states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so
|
|
the above exclusion may not apply to You. TPC (and its licensors)
|
|
further disclaims all warranties of any kind if the Materials were
|
|
customized, repackaged or altered in any way by any party other than TPC
|
|
(or its licensors).
|
|
|
|
12. Disclaimer of Liability. TPC (and its licensors) assumes no
|
|
liability with respect to the Materials, including liability for
|
|
infringement of intellectual property rights, negligence, or any other
|
|
liability. TPC is not aware of any infringement of copyright or patent
|
|
that may result from its grant of rights to User of the Materials. If
|
|
User receives any notice of infringement, such notice shall be
|
|
immediately communicated to TPC who will have sole discretion to take
|
|
action to evaluate the claim and, if practicable, modify the Materials
|
|
as necessary to avoid infringement. In the event that TPC determines
|
|
that the Materials cannot be modified to avoid such infringement (or any
|
|
other infringement claim communicated to TPC), TPC may terminate this
|
|
Agreement immediately. User shall suspend use of the Materials until
|
|
modifications to avoid claims of infringement have been completed. User
|
|
waives any claim against TPC in the event of such infringement claims by
|
|
others.
|
|
|
|
13. Export Assurance. Use and re-export of the Materials and related
|
|
technical information is subject to the Export Administration
|
|
Regulations (EAR) of the United States Department of Commerce. User
|
|
hereby agrees that User (a) assumes responsibility for compliance with
|
|
the EAR in its use of the Materials and technical information, and (b)
|
|
will not export, re-export, or otherwise disclose directly or
|
|
indirectly, the Materials, technical data, or any direct product of the
|
|
Materials or technical data in violation of the EAR.
|
|
|
|
14. Limitation of Remedies And Damages. IN NO EVENT WILL TPC OR ITS
|
|
LICENSORS OR LICENSEE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR
|
|
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS, LOST
|
|
REVENUES OR LOST DATA ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE MATERIALS OR THIS
|
|
AGREEMENT, EVEN IF TPC OR ITS LICENSORS OR LICENSEE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF
|
|
THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL TPC'S OR ITS
|
|
LICENSORS' LIABILITY OR DAMAGES TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON EVER EXCEED
|
|
U.S. ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS (US $100), REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE CLAIM.
|
|
IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSEE'S LIABILITY OR DAMAGES TO TPC OR ANY OTHER
|
|
PERSON EVER EXCEED $1,000,000, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE CLAIM. Some
|
|
countries/states do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability
|
|
for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or
|
|
exclusion may not apply to You.
|
|
|
|
15. U.S. Government Restricted Rights. All Software and related
|
|
documentation are provided with restricted rights. Use, duplication or
|
|
disclosure by the U.S. Government is subject to restrictions as set
|
|

|
|
Computer Software Clause at 252.227-7013. If You are using the Software
|
|
outside of the United States, You will comply with the applicable local
|
|
laws of Your country, U.S. export control law, and the English version
|
|
of this Agreement.

|
|
|
17. General. This Agreement is binding on You as well as Your employees,
|
|
employers, contractors and agents, and on any successors and assignees.
|
|
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California
|
|
(except to the extent federal law governs copyrights and trademarks)
|
|
without respect to any provisions of California law that would cause
|
|
application of the law of another state or country. The parties agree
|
|
that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International
|
|
Sale of Goods will not govern this Agreement. This Agreement is the
|
|
entire agreement between us regarding the subject matter hereof and
|
|
supersedes any other understandings or agreements with respect to the
|
|
Materials or the subject matter hereof. If any provision of this
|
|
Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable by any court having
|
|
jurisdiction, that particular provision will be deemed modified to the
|
|
extent necessary to make the provision valid and enforceable, and the
|
|
remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
|
|
|
|
SPECIAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO THE EUROPEAN UNION
|
|
|
|
If You acquired the Materials in the European Union (EU), the following
|
|
provisions also apply to You. If there is any inconsistency between the
|
|
terms of the Software License Agreement set out earlier and the
|
|
following provisions, the following provisions shall take precedence.
|
|
|
|
1. Distribution. You may sublicense modifications of the Software
|
|
covered in this Agreement if they meet the requirements of clause 9
|
|
above.
|
|
|
|
2. Limited Warranty. EXCEPT AS STATED EARLIER IN THIS AGREEMENT, AND AS
|
|
PROVIDED UNDER THE HEADING "STATUTORY RIGHTS", THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED
|
|
AS-IS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
|
|
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, NONINFRINGEMENT,
|
|
OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, QUALITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
|
|
PURPOSE.
|
|
|
|
3. Limitation of Remedy and Damages. THE LIMITATIONS OF REMEDIES AND
|
|
DAMAGES IN THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT SHALL NOT APPLY TO PERSONAL
|
|
INJURY (INCLUDING DEATH) TO ANY PERSON CAUSED BY TPC'S NEGLIGENCE AND
|
|
ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISION SET OUT UNDER THE HEADING "STATUTORY
|
|
RIGHTS".
|
|
|
|
4. Statutory Rights: Irish law provides that certain conditions and
|
|
warranties may be implied in contracts for the sale of goods and in
|
|
contracts for the supply of services. Such conditions and warranties are
|
|
hereby excluded, to the extent such exclusion, in the context of this
|
|
transaction, is lawful under Irish law. Conversely, such conditions and
|
|
warranties, insofar as they may not be lawfully excluded, shall apply.
|
|
Accordingly nothing in this Agreement shall prejudice any rights that
|
|
You may enjoy by virtue of Sections 12, 13, 14 or 15 of the Irish Sale
|
|
of Goods Act 1893 (as amended).
|
|
|
|
5. General. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Republic of
|
|
Ireland. The local language version of this agreement shall apply to
|
|
Materials acquired in the EU. This Agreement is the entire agreement
|
|
between us with respect to the subject matter hereof and You agree that
|
|
TPC will not have any liability for any untrue statement or
|
|
representation made by it, its agents or anyone else (whether innocently
|
|
or negligently) upon which You relied upon entering this Agreement,
|
|
unless such untrue statement or representation was made fraudulently. |
