LIMITED WARRANTY: Activision warrants to the original
consumer purchaser of this Program that the recording medium on which the Program is
recorded will be free from defects in material and workmanship for 90 days from the date
of purchase. If the recording medium is found defective within 90 days of original
purchase, Activision agrees to replace, free of charge, any product discovered to be
defective within such period upon its receipt of the Product, postage paid, with proof of
the date of purchase, as long as the Program is still being manufactured by Activision. In
the event that the Program is no longer available, Activision retains the right to
substitute a similar program of equal or greater value. This warranty is limited to the
recording medium containing the Program as originally provided by Activision and is not
applicable to normal wear and tear. This warranty shall not be applicable and shall be
void if the defect has arisen through abuse, mistreatment, or neglect. Any implied
warranties prescribed by statute are expressly limited to the 90-day period described
above.
EXCEPT AS SET FORTH ABOVE, THIS WARRANTY
IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING
ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND
NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR CLAIMS OF ANY KIND SHALL BE BINDING ON OR OBLIGATE ACTIVISION.
When returning the Program for warranty
replacement please send the original product disks only in protective packaging and
include: (1) a photocopy of your dated sales receipt; (2) your name and return address
typed or clearly printed; (3) a brief note describing the defect, the problem(s) you are
encountered and the system on which you are running the Program; (4) if you are returning
the Program after the 90-day warranty period, but within one year after the date of
purchase, please include check or money order payable to Activision for $10 U.S. (A$17 for
Australia, or ú10.00 for Europe) currency per CD. Note: Certified mail recommended.
LIMITATION ON DAMAGES: IN NO EVENT WILL ACTIVISION BE LIABLE FOR
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM POSSESSION, USE OR MALFUNCTION
OF THE PROGRAM, INCLUDING DAMAGES TO PROPERTY, LOSS OF GOODWILL, COMPUTER FAILURE OR
MALFUNCTION AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL INJURIES, EVEN IF
ACTIVISION HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. ACTIVISION’S
LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE ACTUAL PRICE PAID FOR THE LICENSE TO USE THIS PROGRAM. SOME
STATES/COUNTRIES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS AND/OR THE
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS
AND/OR EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU
SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO
JURISDICTION.
TERMINATION: Without prejudice to any other rights of
Activision, this Agreement will terminate automatically if you fail to comply with its
terms and conditions. In such event, you must destroy all copies of this Program and all
of its component parts.
U.S. GOVERNMENT RESTRICTED
RIGHTS: The Program and
documentation have been developed entirely at private expense and are provided as
"Commercial Computer Software" or "restricted computer software." Use,
duplication or disclosure by the U.S. Government or a U.S. Government subcontractor is

INJUNCTION: Because Activision would be irreparably
damaged if the terms of this Agreement were not specifically enforced, you agree that
Activision shall be entitled, without bond, other security or proof of damages, to
appropriate equitable remedies with respect to breaches of this Agreement, in addition to
such other remedies as Activision may otherwise have under applicable laws.
INDEMNITY: You agree to indemnify, defend and hold
Activision, its partners, affiliates, licensors, contractors, officers, directors,
employees and agents harmless from all damages, losses and expenses arising directly or
indirectly from your acts and omissions to act in using the Product pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement.
MISCELLANEOUS: This Agreement represents the complete
agreement concerning this license between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements
and representations between them. It may be amended only by a writing executed by both
parties. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason,
such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable and
the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected. This Agreement shall be
construed under California law as such law is applied to agreements between California
residents entered into and to be performed within California, except as governed by
federal law and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts
in Los Angeles, California.
