TERMINATION

The license granted to you is effective until terminated. You may

LIMITED WARRANTY

Creative warrants, as the sole warranty, that the disks on which the

distributor, dealer or any other entity or person is authorized to expand 
or alter this warranty or any other provisions of this Agreement. Any 
representation, other than the warranties set forth in this Agreement, 
will not bind Creative.

Creative does not warrant that the functions contained in the Software 
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,

EXCEPT 

AS STATED ABOVE IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE

INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED 
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS 
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CREATIVE IS NOT 
OBLIGATED TO PROVIDE ANY UPDATES, UPGRADES OR 
TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR THE SOFTWARE.

Further, Creative shall not be liable for the accuracy of any 
information provided by Creative or third party technical support 
personnel, or any damages caused, either directly or indirectly, by acts

Software prove defective, you (and not Creative, or its distributors or 
dealers) assume the entire cost of all necessary servicing, repair or 
correction.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have 
other rights which vary from country/state to country/state. Some 
countries/states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so 
the above exclusion may not apply to you. Creative disclaims all 
warranties of any kind if the Software was customized, repackaged or 
altered in any way by any third party other than Creative.

LIMITATION OF REMEDIES AND DAMAGES
THE ONLY REMEDY FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY WILL 
BE THAT SET FORTH IN THE WARRANTY CARD OR

NO EVENT WILL CREATIVE OR ITS LICENSORS 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 SOFTWARE 
OR THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF CREATIVE OR ITS 
LICENSORS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY 
OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL CREATIVE’S 
LIABILITY OR DAMAGES TO YOU OR ANY OTHER 
PERSON EVER EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO 
USE THE SOFTWARE, 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.

PRODUCT RETURNS

If you must ship the software to Creative or an authorized Creative 
distributor or dealer, you must prepay shipping and either insure the 
software or assume all risk of loss or damage in transit.
