6  DAMAGES AND REMEDIES FOR BREACH

You agree that any breach of this Agreement’s restrictions would cause Pioneer 
irreparable harm for which money damages alone would be inadequate. In addition 
to damages and any other remedies to which Pioneer may be entitled, You agree 
that Pioneer may seek injunctive relief to prevent the actual, threatened or contin-
ued breach of this Agreement.

7 TERMINATION

Pioneer may terminate this Agreement at any time upon Your breach of any provi-
sion. If this Agreement is terminated, You will stop using the Program, permanently 
delete it from your computer or mobile device where it resides, and destroy all cop-
ies of the Program and Documentation in Your possession, confirming to Pioneer in 
writing that You have done so. Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 will continue in 
effect after this Agreement’s termination.

8  GENERAL TERMS

1

  Limitation of Liability. In no event will Pioneer or its subsidiaries be liable 

in connection with this Agreement or its subject matter, under any theory 
of liability, for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive 
damages, or damages for lost profits, revenue, business, savings, data, use, 
or cost of substitute procurement, even if advised of the possibility of such 
damages or if such damages are foreseeable. In no event will Pioneer’s 
liability for all damages exceed the amounts actually paid by You to Pioneer 
or its subsidiaries for the Program. The parties acknowledge that the liability 
limits and risk allocation in this Agreement are reflected in the Program 
price and are essential elements of the bargain between the parties, without 
which Pioneer would not have provided the Program or entered into this 
Agreement.

2

  The limitations or exclusions of warranties and liability contained in this 

Agreement do not affect or prejudice Your statutory rights as consumer and 
shall apply to You only to the extent such limitations or exclusions are permit-
ted under the laws of the jurisdiction where You are located.

3

  Severability and Waiver. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be 

illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to 
the extent possible or, if incapable of enforcement, deemed to be severed 
and deleted from this Agreement, and the remainder will continue in full 
force and effect. The waiver by either party of any default or breach of this 
Agreement will not waive any other or subsequent default or breach.

4

  No Assignment. You may not assign, sell, transfer, delegate or otherwise 

dispose of this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it, whether vol-
untarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, without Pioneer’s 
prior written consent. Any purported assignment, transfer or delegation by 
You will be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be 
binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective 
successors and assigns.

5

  Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between 

the parties and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or 
representations, whether written or oral, concerning its subject matter. This 
Agreement may not be modified or amended without Pioneer’s prior and 
express written consent, and no other act, document, usage or custom will 
be deemed to amend or modify this Agreement.

6

  You agree that this Agreement shall be governed and construed by and 

under the laws of Japan.
