|
|
|
runtime features. The Flash Player Settings Manager permits you to modify such settings, including the
|
|
|
ability to limit third parties from storing local shared objects or grant third party content the right to

|
|
|
media usage rights and individualization from a server on the Internet, and may download and install
|
|
|
required components of the Software, including any available Content Protection Updates. You can

|
|
|
relevant Certification Authority provides services, including, for example, any subscriber agreements,

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 You agree that (a) a digital certificate may have been revoked prior to the time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.

|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

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
|
|
|

|
|
|
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.

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.
|
|
|
|
