Pioneer products.
You shall not copy, reverse engineer, translate, port, modify or
make derivative works of the Software. You shall not loan, rent,
disclose, publish, sell, assign, lease, sublicence, market or other-

or merged with other products. You shall not alter or remove any
copyright notice or proprietary legend contained in or on the Soft-
ware.

RANTY, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND ALL WARRAN-
TIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR ANY
PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED. SOME

LIMITATION, COMPENSATORY, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPE-
CIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, LOST
PROFITS, LOST SALES OR BUSINESS, EXPENDITURES, INVEST-
MENTS, OR COMMITMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY BUSI-
NESS, LOSS OF ANY GOODWILL, OR DAMAGES) RESULTING
FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, EVEN
IF PIONEER HAS BEEN INFORMED OF, KNEW OF, OR SHOULD

YOU AGREE THAT PIONEER’S LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED
FIFTY PERCENT (50%) OF THE PRICE PAID BY YOU FOR THE

tal or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion
may not apply to you. This warranty disclaimer and limitation of
liability shall not be applicable to the extent that any provision of
this warranty is prohibited by any country or local law which can-
not be preempted.
