|
||
subscription or other fee in order to access it, and/or your assent to additional terms of use. Adobe
|
||

|
||
Software connects to the Internet as a function of an Adobe Online Service, your IP Address, user name,
|
||

|
||
created by third parties. Additionally, Adobe AIR uses digital certificates to establish the identity of
|
||
servers accessed via the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol, including access via HTTPS. Adobe
|
||
Reader uses digital certificates to sign and validate signatures within PDF documents and to validate
|
||
certified PDF documents. Adobe Runtimes use digital certificates to secure protected content from
|
||
unauthorized usage. Your Computer may connect to the Internet at the time of validation of a digital
|
||
certificate in order to download current certificate revocation lists (CRLs) or to update the list of digital
|
||
certificates. This access may be made both by the Software and by applications based on the Software.

|
||
Services (CDS) vendors listed at http://www.adobe.com/go/partners_cds and Adobe Approved Trust
|
||
List (AATL) vendors listed at http://www.adobe.com/go/aatl, and individualization vendors found at

|
||
signed.
|
||
|
||
9.2 Terms and Conditions. Purchase, use and reliance upon digital certificates are the responsibility of
|
||
you and a Certification Authority. Before you rely upon any certified document, digital signature, or
|
||
Certification Authority services, you should review the applicable terms and conditions under which the
|
||
relevant Certification Authority provides services, including, for example, any subscriber agreements,
|
||
relying party agreements, certificate policies, and practice statements. See the links on
|
||
http://www.adobe.com/go/partners_cds for information about Adobe’s CDS vendors and
|
||
http://www.adobe.com/go/aatl for information about Adobe’s AATL vendors.
|
||
|
||
9.3 Acknowledgement. You agree that (a) a digital certificate may have been revoked prior to the time
|
||
of verification, making the digital signature or certificate appear valid when in fact it is not, (b) the
|
||
security or integrity of a digital certificate may be compromised due to an act or omission by the signer
|
||
of the document, the applicable Certification Authority, or any other third party, and (c) a certificate may
|
||
be a self-signed certificate not provided by a Certification Authority. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE
|
||
FOR DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT TO RELY ON A CERTIFICATE. UNLESS A SEPARATE WRITTEN
|
||
WARRANTY IS PROVIDED TO YOU BY A CERTIFICATION AUTHORITY, YOU USE DIGITAL
|
||
CERTIFICATES AT YOUR SOLE RISK.
|
||
|
||
9.4 Third Party Beneficiaries. You agree that any Certification Authority you rely upon is a third party
|
||
beneficiary of this agreement and shall have the right to enforce this agreement in its own name as if it
|
||
were Adobe.
|
||
|
||
9.5 Indemnity. You agree to hold Adobe and any applicable Certification Authority (except as expressly
|
||
provided in its terms and conditions) harmless from any and all liabilities, losses, actions, damages, or
|
||
claims (including all reasonable expenses, costs, and attorneys fees) arising out of or relating to any use
|
||
of, or reliance on, by you or any third party that receives a document from you with a digital certificate,
|
||
any service of such authority, including, without limitation (a) reliance on an expired or revoked
|
||
certificate, (b) improper verification of a certificate, (c) use of a certificate other than as permitted by any
|
||
applicable terms and conditions, this agreement, or applicable law; (d) failure to exercise reasonable
|
||
judgment under the circumstances in relying on issuer services or certificates, or (e) failure to perform
|
||
any of the obligations as required in the terms and conditions related to the services.
|
||
|
||
10. Limitation of Liability.
|
||
|
||
IN NO EVENT WILL ADOBE, ITS SUPPLIERS, OR CERTIFICATION AUTHORITIES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR

||
ANY DAMAGES, CLAIMS OR COSTS WHATSOEVER INCLUDING ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT,
|
||
INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, OR ANY LOST PROFITS OR LOST SAVINGS, EVEN IF AN ADOBE
|
||
REPRESENTATIVE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS, DAMAGES, OR CLAIMS.
|
||
THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS APPLY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
|
||
LAW IN YOUR JURISDICTION. ADOBE’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY AND THAT OF ITS SUPPLIERS AND
|
||
CERTIFICATION AUTHORITIES UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE
|
||
LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE, IF ANY. Nothing contained in this agreement
|
||
limits Adobe’s liability to you in the event of death or personal injury resulting from Adobe’s negligence
|
||
or for the tort of deceit (fraud). Adobe is acting on behalf of its suppliers and Certification Authorities for
|
||
the purpose of disclaiming, excluding, and/or limiting obligations, warranties, and liability as provided in
|
||
this agreement, but in no other respects and for no other purpose. For further information, please see
|
||
the jurisdiction specific information at the end of this agreement, if any, or contact Adobe’s Customer
|
||
Support Department.
|
||
|
||
11. Export Rules.
|
||
|
||
You agree that the Software will not be shipped, transferred, or exported into any country or used in any
|
||
manner prohibited by the United States Export Administration Act or any other export laws, restrictions,
|
||
or regulations (collectively the “Export Laws”). In addition, if the Software is identified as export
|
||
controlled items under the Export Laws, you represent and warrant that you are not a citizen, or
|
||
otherwise located within, an embargoed nation (including without limitation Iran, Syria, Sudan, Cuba,
|
||
and North Korea) and that you are not otherwise prohibited under the Export Laws from receiving the
|
||
Software. All rights to Use the Software are granted on condition that such rights are forfeited if you fail
|
||
to comply with the terms of this agreement.
|
||
|
||
12. Governing Law.
|
||
|
||
If you are a consumer who uses the Software for only personal non-business purposes, then this
|
||
agreement will be governed by the laws of the state in which you purchased the license to use the
|
||
Software. If you are not such a consumer, this agreement will be governed by and construed in
|
||
accordance with the substantive laws in force in: (a) the State of California, if a license to the Software is
|
||
obtained when you are in the United States, Canada, or Mexico; or (b) Japan, if a license to the Software
|
||
is obtained when you are in Japan; or (c) Singapore, if a license to the Software is obtained when you
|
||
are in a member state of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the People’s Republic of China
|
||
(including Hong Kong S.A.R. and Macau S.A.R.), Taiwan, or the Republic of Korea; or (d) England, if a
|
||
license to the Software is obtained when you are in any jurisdiction not described above. The respective
|
||
courts of Santa Clara County, California when California law applies, Tokyo District Court in Japan, when
|
||
Japanese law applies, and the competent courts of London, England, when the law of England applies,
|
||
shall each have non-exclusive jurisdiction over all disputes relating to this agreement. When Singapore
|
||
law applies, any dispute arising out of or in connection with this agreement, including any question
|
||
regarding its existence, validity, or termination, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in
|
||
Singapore in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre
|
||
(“SIAC”) for the time being in force, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this
|
||
section. There shall be one arbitrator, selected jointly by the parties. If the arbitrator is not selected
|
||
within thirty (30) days of the written demand by a party to submit to arbitration, the Chairman of the
|
||
SIAC shall make the selection. The language of the arbitration shall be English. Notwithstanding any
|
||
provision in this agreement, Adobe or you may request any judicial, administrative, or other authority to
|
||
order any provisional or conservatory measure, including injunctive relief, specific performance, or other
|
||
equitable relief, prior to the institution of legal or arbitration proceedings, or during the proceedings, for
|
||
the preservation of its rights and interests or to enforce specific terms that are suitable for provisional
|
||
remedies. The English version of this agreement will be the version used when interpreting or
|
||
construing this agreement. This agreement will not be governed by the conflict of law rules of any
|
||
jurisdiction or the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the
|
||
application of which is expressly excluded.
|
||
|
||
13. General Provisions.
|
||
|
||
If any part of this agreement is found void and unenforceable, it will not affect the validity of the balance
|
||
of this agreement, which shall remain valid and enforceable according to its terms. This agreement shall
|
||
not prejudice the statutory rights of any party dealing as a consumer. This agreement may only be
|
||
modified by a writing signed by an authorized officer of Adobe. Updates may be licensed to you by
|
||
Adobe with additional or different terms. This is the entire agreement between Adobe and you relating
|
||
to the Software and it supersedes any prior representations, discussions, undertakings, communications,
|
||
or advertising relating to the Software.
|
||
|
||
14. Notice to U.S. Government End Users.
|
||
|
||
For U.S. Government End Users, Adobe agrees to comply with all applicable equal opportunity laws
|
||
including, if appropriate, the provisions of Executive Order 11246, as amended, Section 402 of the
|
||
Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 (38 USC 4212), and Section 503 of the
|
||
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and the regulations at 41 CFR Parts 60-1 through 60-60,
|
||
60-250, and 60-741. The affirmative action clause and regulations contained in the preceding sentence
|
||

|
||
|
||
15. Compliance with Licenses.
|
||
|
||
If you are a business or organization, you agree that upon request from Adobe or Adobe’s authorized
|
||
representative, you will, within thirty (30) days, fully document and certify that use of any and all
|
||
Software at the time of the request is in conformity with your valid licenses from Adobe.
|
||
|
||
16. European Union Provisions.
|
||
|
||
Nothing included in this agreement (including Section 4.5) shall limit any non-waivable right to
|
||
decompile the Software that you may enjoy under mandatory law. For example, if you are located in the
|
||
European Union (EU), you may have the right upon certain conditions specified in the applicable law to
|
||
decompile the Software if it is necessary to do so in order to achieve interoperability of the Software
|
||
with another software program, and you have first asked Adobe in writing to provide the information
|
||
necessary to achieve such interoperability and Adobe has not made such information available. In
|
||
addition, such decompilation may only be done by you or someone else entitled to use a copy of the
|
||
Software on your behalf. Adobe has the right to impose reasonable conditions before providing such
|
||
information. Any information supplied by Adobe or obtained by you, as permitted hereunder, may only
|
||
be used by you for the purpose described herein and may not be disclosed to any third party or used to
|
||
create any software which is substantially similar to the expression of the Software or used for any other
|
||
act which infringes Adobe or its licensors’ copyright.
|
||
|
||
17. Specific Provisions and Exceptions.
|
||
|
||
17.1 Limitation of Liability for Users Residing in Germany and Austria.
|
||
|
||
17.1.1 If you obtained the Software in Germany or Austria, and you usually reside in such country, then
|
||
Section 10 does not apply. Instead, subject to the provisions in Section 17.1.2, Adobe’s statutory liability
|
||
for damages shall be limited as follows: (a) Adobe shall be liable only up to the amount of damages as
|
||
typically foreseeable at the time of entering into the license agreement in respect of damages caused by
|
||
a slightly negligent breach of a material contractual obligation and (b) Adobe shall not be liable for
|
||
damages caused by a slightly negligent breach of a non-material contractual obligation.
|
||
|
||
17.1.2 The aforesaid limitation of liability shall 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.
|
||
|
||
17.1.3 You are required to take all reasonable measures to avoid and reduce damages, in particular to
|
||
make back-up copies of the Software and your computer data subject to the provisions of this
|
||
agreement.
