Unless the Licensee has licensed the Professional version of the Software, the Licensee shall have no rights to use the Professional features and components (as specified in the Documentation) as Production Software. The following additional terms also apply to Licensee’s use of the Software.

2.1 Sample Code. Licensee may modify the Sample Code solely for the purposes of designing, developing and testing Licensee’s own software applications. However, Licensee is permitted to use, copy and redistribute its modified Sample Code only if all of the following conditions are met: (a) Licensee includes Adobe's copyright notice (if any) with Licensee’s application, including every location in which any other copyright notice appears in such application; and (b) Licensee does not otherwise use Adobe's name, logos or other Adobe trademarks to market Licensee’s application.

2.4 Restrictions.

2.4.1 No Modifications, No Reverse Engineering. Licensee shall not modify, port, adapt or translate the Software. Licensee shall not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to discover the source code of the Software. Notwithstanding the foregoing, decompiling the Software is permitted to the extent the laws of Licensee’s jurisdiction give Licensee the right to do so to obtain information necessary to render the Software interoperable with other software; provided, however, that Licensee must first request such information from Adobe and Adobe may, in its discretion, either provide such information to Licensee or impose reasonable conditions, including a reasonable fee, on such use of the source code to ensure that Adobe’s and its suppliers’ proprietary rights in the source code for the Software are protected.

2.4.2 No Unbundling. The Software may include various applications, utilities and components, may support multiple platforms and languages or may be provided to Licensee on multiple media or in multiple copies. Nonetheless, the Software is designed and provided to Licensee as a single product to be used as a single product on Computers and platforms as permitted herein. Licensee is not required to use all component parts of the Software, but Licensee shall not unbundle the component parts of the Software for use on different Computers. Licensee shall not unbundle or repackage the Software for distribution, transfer or resale.

2.4.3 No Transfer. Licensee shall not sublicense, assign or transfer the Software or Licensee’s rights in the Software, or authorize any portion of the Software to be copied onto or accessed from another individual’s or entity’s Computer except as may be explicitly provided in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.4.3, Licensee may transfer copies of the Software installed on one of Licensee’s Computers to another one of Licensee’s Computers provided that the resulting installation and use of the Software is in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and does not cause Licensee to exceed Licensee’s right to use the Software under this Agreement.

In addition, if the Software is identified as an export controlled item under the Export Laws, Licensee represents and warrants that Licensee is not a citizen of, or located within, an embargoed or otherwise restricted nation (including Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Cuba and North Korea) and that Licensee is not otherwise prohibited under the Export Laws from receiving the Software. All rights to install and use the Software are granted on condition that such rights are forfeited if Licensee fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement. 

2.4.6 Additional Software. Licensee is not permitted to use any software applications or components accompanying or installed with the Software unless Licensee is validly licensed to do so and only to the extent explicitly permitted under this Agreement or a separate writing. Use of some materials and services included in or accessed through the Software may be subject to other terms and conditions typically found in a separate license agreement, terms of use or “Read Me” file located within or near such materials and services. Any licenses granted hereunder do not alter any rights and obligations Licensee may have under the terms and conditions governing such other materials and services, provided, however, that the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provisions in this Agreement will apply to all Software provided hereunder. By accessing and/or using any such other materials, Licensee hereby agrees to the applicable separate license agreements that apply to such other materials.

Licensee’s rights to install and use Software under this Section 4.1 will terminate immediately upon the earlier of (a) the expiration of the evaluation period described herein, or (b) such time that Licensee purchases a license to a non-evaluation version of such Software. Adobe reserves the right to terminate Licensee’s license to evaluate Software at any time in its sole discretion. Licensee agrees to return or destroy Licensee’s copy of the Software upon termination of this Agreement for any reason. To the extent that any provision in this Section 4.1 is in conflict with any other term or condition in this Agreement, this Section 4.1 shall supersede such other term(s) and condition(s) with respect to the evaluation of Software, but only to the extent necessary to resolve the conflict. LICENSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE EVALUATION SOFTWARE MIGHT PLACE WATERMARKS ON OUTPUT, CONTAIN LIMITED FUNCTIONALITY, OR FUNCTION FOR A LIMITED PERIOD OF TIME, AND ACCESS TO ANY FILES OR OUTPUT CREATED WITH SUCH SOFTWARE OR ANY PRODUCT ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH SOFTWARE IS ENTIRELY AT LICENSEE’S OWN RISK. ADOBE IS LICENSING THE SOFTWARE FOR EVALUATION ON AN “AS IS” BASIS AT LICENSEE’S OWN RISK. ADOBE DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY OR LIABILITY OBLIGATIONS TO LICENSEE OF ANY KIND. SEE SECTIONS 7 AND 8 FOR WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS AND LIABILITY LIMITATIONS WHICH GOVERN EVALUATION OF SOFTWARE.

4.2. Not For Resale Software. This Section 4.2 applies only if Licensee has obtained a valid license to evaluate the Software as “Not For Resale” or “NFR” software separately provided in writing by Adobe, as indicated by the serial number Licensee enters upon installation and/or as indicated by the Software when first executed.

4.2.1 License. In addition to the other terms contained herein, Licensee’s license to evaluate the Software is limited to use strictly for Licensee’s own internal evaluation and review purposes and not for production purposes.

6. Updates.

If the Software is an upgrade or update to a previous version of the Software, Licensee must possess a valid license to such previous version in order to use such upgrade or update. All upgrades and updates are provided to Licensee subject to the terms of this Agreement on a license exchange basis. Licensee agrees that by using an upgrade or update, Licensee voluntarily terminates Licensee’s right to use any previous version of the Software. As an exception, Licensee may continue to use previous versions of the Software on Licensee’s Computers after Licensee obtains the upgrade or update but only for a reasonable period of time to assist Licensee in the transition to the upgrade or update, and further provided that such simultaneous use shall not be deemed to increase the number of copies, licensed amounts or scope of use granted to Licensee hereunder. Upgrades and updates may be licensed to Licensee by Adobe with additional or different terms.

7. WARRANTY.

7.1. Warranty. Adobe warrants to Licensee that the Software will perform substantially in accordance with the Documentation for the ninety (90) day period following shipment of the Software when used on the recommended operating system, platform and hardware configuration. This limited warranty does not apply to evaluation software (as identified in Section 4.1), Not For Resale software (as identified in Section 4.2), patches, Sample Code, and font software converted into other formats. All warranty claims must be made within such ninety (90) day period.

11.2 U.S. Government Licensing of Adobe Technology. Licensee agrees that when licensing Adobe Software for acquisition by the U.S. Government, or any contractor therefore, Licensee will license consistent with the policies set forth in 48 C.F.R. Section 12.212 (for civilian agencies) and 48 C.F.R. Sections 227-7202-1 and 227-7202-4 (for the Department of Defense).

12. Compliance with Licenses.

Adobe may, at its expense, and no more than once every twelve (12) months, appoint its own personnel or an independent third party to verify the number of copies and installations as well as usage of the Adobe software in use by Licensee. Any such verification shall be conducted upon seven (7) business days notice, during regular business hours at Licensee’s offices and shall not unreasonably interfere with Licensee’s business activities. Both Adobe and its auditors shall execute a commercially reasonable non-disclosure agreement with Licensee before proceeding with the verification. If such verification shows that Licensee is using a greater number of copies of the Software than that legitimately licensed, or are deploying or using the Software in any way not permitted under this Agreement and which would require additional license fees, Licensee shall pay the applicable fees for such additional copies within thirty (30) days of invoice date, with such underpaid fees being the license fees as per Adobe’s then-current, country specific, license fee list. If underpaid fees are in excess of five percent (5%) of the value of the fees paid under this Agreement, then Licensee shall pay such underpaid fees and Adobe’s reasonable costs of conducting the verification. This Section shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years.

13. Third-Party Beneficiary.

Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Adobe’s licensors (and/or Adobe if Licensee obtained the Software from any party other than Adobe) are third party beneficiaries of this Agreement, with the right to enforce the obligations set forth herein with respect to the respective technology of such licensors and/or Adobe.

14. Specific Provisions and Exceptions.

This section sets forth specific provisions related to certain components of the Software as well as limited exceptions to the above terms and conditions. To the extent that any provision in this section is in conflict with any other term or condition in this agreement, this section will supersede such other term or condition.

14.1 Limited Warranty for Users Residing in Germany or Austria. If Licensee obtained the Software in Germany or Austria, and Licensee usually resides in such country, then Section 7 does not apply; instead, Adobe warrants that the Software provides the functionalities set forth in the Documentation (the “agreed upon functionalities”) for the limited warranty period following receipt of the Software when used on the recommended hardware configuration. As used in this Section, “limited warranty period” means one (1) year if Licensee is a business user and two (2) years if Licensee is not a business user. Non-substantial variation from the agreed upon functionalities will not and does not establish any warranty rights. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO SOFTWARE PROVIDED TO LICENSEE FREE OF CHARGE, FOR EXAMPLE, UPDATES, PRE-RELEASE, TRYOUT, STARTER, PRODUCT SAMPLER AND NOT FOR RESALE (NFR) COPIES OF SOFTWARE, OR TO FONT SOFTWARE CONVERTED INTO OTHER FORMATS, WEBSITES, ONLINE SERVICES, OR SOFTWARE THAT HAS BEEN ALTERED BY LICENSEE, TO THE EXTENT SUCH ALTERATION CAUSED A DEFECT. To make a warranty claim, during the limited warranty period Licensee must return, at our expense, the Software and proof of purchase to the location where Licensee obtained it. If the functionalities of the Software vary substantially from the agreed upon functionalities, Adobe is entitled -- by way of re-performance and at its own discretion -- to repair or replace the Software. If this fails, Licensee is entitled to a reduction of the purchase price (reduction) or to cancel the purchase agreement (rescission). For further warranty information, please contact the Adobe Customer Support Department.

14.2 Limitation of Liability for Users Residing in Germany and Austria.

14.2.1 If Licensee obtained the Software in Germany or Austria, and Licensee usually resides in such country, then Section 8 does not apply. Instead, subject to the provisions in Section 14.2.2, Adobe and its affiliates' statutory liability for damages will be limited as follows: (i) Adobe and its affiliates will be liable only up to the amount of damages as typically foreseeable at the time of entering into the purchase agreement in respect of damages caused by a slightly negligent breach of a material contractual obligation and (ii) Adobe and its affiliates will not be liable for damages caused by a slightly negligent breach of a non-material contractual obligation.

14.2.2 The aforesaid limitation of liability will not apply to any mandatory statutory liability, in particular, to liability under the German Product Liability Act, liability for assuming a specific guarantee or liability for culpably caused personal injuries. 

14.2.3 Licensee is required to take all reasonable measures to avoid and reduce damages, in particular to make back-up copies of the Software and Licensee’s computer data subject to the provisions of this agreement.
