FOLLOWING PROVISIONS, THE FOLLOWING PROVISIONS SHALL TAKE PRECEDENCE.

DECOMPILATION
You agree not for any purpose to transmit the Software or display the 
Software’s object code on any computer screen or to make any hard copy 
memory dumps of the Software’s object code. If you believe you require 
information related to the interoperability of the Software with other 
programs, you shall not decompile or disassemble the Software to obtain 
such information, and you agree to request such information from 
Creative at the address listed earlier. Upon receiving such a request, 
Creative shall determine whether you require such information for a 
legitimate purpose and, if so, Creative will provide such information to 
you within a reasonable time and on reasonable conditions.

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 OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, 
QUALITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

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 CREATIVE’S NEGLIGENCE AND ARE SUBJECT 
TO THE PROVISION SET OUT UNDER THE HEADING 
“STATUTORY RIGHTS”.

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).

GENERAL
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Republic of Ireland. The 
local language version of this agreement shall apply to Software acquired 
in the EU. This Agreement is the entire agreement between us, and you 
agree that Creative 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.

. . . . TEXT CONTINUED FROM INSIDE FRONT COVER.

You assume full responsibility for the selection of the Software to achieve 
your intended results, and for the installation, use and results obtained 
from the Software. You also assume the entire risk as it applies to the 
quality and performance of the Software. Should the 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.

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.

contractors and agents, and on any successors and assignees. Neither the 
Software nor any information derived therefrom may be exported except 
in accordance with the laws of the U.S. or other applicable provisions. 
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California (except 
to the extent federal law governs copyrights and federally registered 
trademarks). This Agreement is the entire agreement between us and 
supersedes any other understandings or agreements, including, but not 
limited to, advertising, with respect to the Software. If any provision of 
this Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable by any country or 
government agency 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.
