CREATIVE END-USER SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT (for Web Software)
Version 2.0, June 1998
====================================================================
PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY. YOU HAVE AGREED TO THE TERMS OF
THIS AGREEMENT BEFORE DOWNLOADING THE SOFTWARE FROM THE INTERNET.
This is a legal agreement between you and Creative Technology Ltd. and
its subsidiaries ("Creative"). This Agreement states the terms and
conditions upon which Creative offers to license the software
downloaded from this website together with all related documentation
and accompanying items including, but not limited to, the executable
programs, drivers, libraries and data files associated with such
programs (collectively, the "Software").
LICENSE
1. Grant of License.
The Software is licensed, not sold, to you for use only under the
terms of this Agreement. This License Agreement is your proof of
license to exercise the rights granted herein and must be retained
by you. As between you and Creative (and, to the extent applicable,
its licensors), Creative retains all title to and ownership of the
Software and reserves all rights not expressly granted to you.
Creative grants to you the right to use all or a portion of this
Software provided that
(a) the Software is not distributed for profit;
(b) the Software is used only in conjunction with Creative's family
of products;
(c) the Software may NOT be modified;
(d) all copyright notices are maintained on the Software; and
(e) the licensee/end-user agrees to be bound by the terms of this
Agreement.
2. For Use on a Single Computer.
The Software may be used only on a single computer by a single user
at any time. You may transfer the machine-readable portion of the
Software from one computer to another computer, provided that
(a) the Software (including any portion or copy thereof) is erased
from the first computer, and
(b) there is no possibility that the Software will be used on more
than one computer at a time.
3. Stand-Alone Basis.
You may use the Software only on a stand-alone basis, such that the
Software and the functions it provides are accessible only to
persons who are physically present at the location of the computer
on which the Software is loaded. You may not allow the Software or
its functions to be accessed remotely, or transmit all or any
portion of the Software through any network or communication line.
4. Copyright.
The Software is owned by Creative and/or its licensees, and is
protected by United States copyright laws and international treaty
provisions. You may not remove the copyright notice from any copy of
the Software or any copy of the written materials, if any,
accompanying the Software.
5. One Archival Copy.
You may make one (1) archival copy of the machine-readable portion
of the Software for backup purposes only in support of your use of
the Software on a single computer, provided that you reproduce on the
copy all copyright and other proprietary rights notices included on
the originals of the Software.
6. No Merger or Integration.
You may not merge any portion of the Software into, or integrate any
portion of the Software with, any other program, except to the extent
expressly permitted by the laws of the jurisdiction where you are
located. Any portion of the Software merged into or integrated with
another program, if any, will continue to be subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, and you must reproduce on the
merged or integrated portion all copyright and other proprietary
rights notices included on the originals of the Software.
7. Network Version.
If you have purchased a "network" version of the Software, this
Agreement applies to the installation of the Software on a single
"file server." It may not be copied onto multiple systems. Each
"node" connected to the "file server" must also have its own license
of a "node copy" of the Software, which becomes a license only for
that specific "node."
8. Transfer of License.
You may not transfer your license of the Software to a third party.
9. Limitations on Using, Copying, and Modifying the Software.
Except to the extent expressly permitted by this Agreement or by the
laws of the jurisdiction where you acquired the Software, you may not
use, copy or modify the Software. Nor may you sub-license any of
your rights under this Agreement.
10. Decompiling, Disassembling, or Reverse Engineering.
You acknowledge that the Software contains trade secrets and other
proprietary information of Creative and its licensors. Except to
the extent expressly permitted by this Agreement or by the laws of
the jurisdiction where you are located, you may not decompile,
disassemble or otherwise reverse engineer the Software, or engage
in any other activities to obtain underlying information that is
not visible to the user in connection with normal use of the Software.
In particular, you agree not for any purpose to transmit the Software
or display the Software's object code on any computer screen or to
make any hardcopy memory dumps of the Software's object code. If you
believe you require information related to the interoperability of the
Software with other programs, you shall not decompile or disassemble
the Software to obtain such information, and you agree to request such
information from Creative at the address listed below. Upon receiving
such a request, Creative shall determine whether you require such
information for a legitimate purpose and, if so, Creative will
provide such information to you within a reasonable time and on
reasonable conditions.
In any event, you will notify Creative of any information derived from
reverse engineering or such other activities, and the results thereof
will constitute the confidential information of Creative that may be
used only in connection with the Software.
TERMINATION
The license granted to you is effective until terminated. You may
terminate it at any time by destroying the Software (including any
portions or copies thereof) currently in your possession or control.
The license will also terminate automatically without any notice from
Creative if you fail to comply with any term or condition of this
Agreement. You agree upon any such termination to destroy the
Software (including any portions or copies thereof). Upon
termination, Creative may also enforce any and all rights provided by
law. The provisions of this Agreement that protect the proprietary
rights of Creative will continue in force after termination.
NO WARRANTY
ANY USE BY YOU OF THE SOFTWARE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE
SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED FOR USE ONLY WITH CREATIVE'S HARDWARE
AND RELATED SOFTWARE. THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED FOR USE "AS
IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW, CREATIVE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY
KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
CREATIVE IS NOT OBLIGATED TO PROVIDE ANY UPDATES OR UPGRADES
TO THE SOFTWARE.
No distributor, dealer or any other entity or person is authorized to
expand or alter this warranty or any other provisions of this
Agreement. Creative does not warrant that the functions contained in
the Software will meet your requirements or that the operation of the
Software will be uninterrupted or error-free or free from malicious
code. For purposes of this paragraph, "malicious code" means any
program code designed to contaminate other computer programs or
computer data, consume computer resources, modify, destroy, record,
or transmit data, or in some other fashion usurp the normal operation
of the computer, computer system, or computer network, including
viruses, Trojan horses, droppers, worms, logic bombs, and the like.
Any representation, other than the warranties set forth in this
Agreement, will not bind Creative. You assume full responsibility
for the selection of the Software to achieve your intended results,
and for the downloading, use and results obtained from the Software.
You also assume the entire risk as it applies to the quality and
performance of the Software. Should the Software prove defective,
you (and not Creative, or its distributors or dealers) assume the
entire cost of all necessary servicing, repair or correction.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have
other rights which vary from country/state to country/state. Some
countries/states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so
the above exclusion may not apply to you. Creative disclaims all
warranties of any kind if the Software was customized, repackaged or
altered in any way by any third party other than Creative.
NO LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES
In no event shall Creative or its Licensor's be liable for any damages
whatsoever (including, without limitation, incidental, direct,
indirect, special or consequential damages, damages for loss of
business profits, business interruption, loss of business information,
or other pecuniary loss) arising out of the use or inability to use
this Software, even if Creative or its Licensor's have been advised
of the possibility of such damages. Because some states/ countries do
not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential
or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to you.
INDEMNIFICATION BY YOU
If you distribute the Software in violation of this Agreement, you
hereby indemnify, hold harmless and defend Creative from and against
any and all claims or lawsuits, including attorney's fees and costs
that arise, result from or are connected with the use or distribution
of the Software in violation of this Agreement.
U.S. GOVERNMENT RESTRICTED RIGHTS
All Software and related documentation are provided with restricted
rights. Use, duplication or disclosure by the U.S. Government is
subject to restrictions as set forth in subdivision (b)(3)(ii) of the
Rights in Technical Data and Computer Software Clause at 252.227-7013.
If you are sub-licensing or using the Software outside of the United
States, you will comply with the applicable local laws of your
country, U.S. export control law, and the English version of this
Agreement.

The Contractor/Manufacturer for the Software is:

federally registered trademarks). This Agreement is the entire

any other understandings or agreements, including, but not limited to,
advertising, with respect to the Software.
If any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable
by any country or government agency having jurisdiction, that
particular provision will be deemed modified to the extent necessary
to make the provision valid and enforceable, and the remaining
provisions will remain in full force and effect.

matters, contact the Creative technical support center nearest you.
SPECIAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO THE EUROPEAN UNION
====================================================================
If you downloaded the Software in the European Union (EU), the
following provisions also apply to you. If there is any inconsistency
between the terms of the Software License Agreement set out above and
the following provisions, the following provisions shall take
precedence.
Decompilation:
You agree not for any purpose to transmit the Software or display the
Software's object code on any computer screen or to make any hard copy
memory dumps of the Software's object code. If you believe you require
information related to the interoperability of the Software with other
programs, you shall not decompile or disassemble the Software to
obtain such information, and you agree to request such information
from Creative at the address listed above. Upon receiving such a
request, Creative shall determine whether you require such information
for a legitimate purpose and, if so, Creative will provide such
information to you within a reasonable time and on reasonable conditions.
Limited Warranty:
EXCEPT AS STATED ABOVE IN THIS AGREEMENT, AND AS PROVIDED
BELOW UNDER THE HEADING "STATUTORY RIGHTS", THE SOFTWARE IS
PROVIDED AS-IS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, QUALITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
Limitation of Remedy and Damages:
THE LIMITATIONS OF REMEDIES AND DAMAGES IN THE SOFTWARE
LICENSE AGREEMENT SHALL NOT APPLY TO PERSONAL INJURY
(INCLUDING DEATH) TO ANY PERSON CAUSED BY CREATIVE'S
NEGLIGENCE AND ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISION SET OUT BELOW

Statutory rights:
Irish law provides that certain conditions and warranties may be
implied in contracts for the sale of goods and in contracts for the
supply of services. Such conditions and warranties are hereby
excluded, to the extent such exclusion, in the context of this
transaction, is lawful under Irish law. Conversely, such conditions
and warranties, insofar as they may not be lawfully excluded, shall
apply. Accordingly nothing in this Agreement shall prejudice any
rights that you may enjoy by virtue of Sections 12, 13, 14 or 15 of
the Irish Sale of Goods Act 1893 (as amended).
General:
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Republic of Ireland.
The local language version of this agreement shall apply to Software
downloaded in the EU. This Agreement is the entire agreement between
us and you agree that Creative will not have any liability for any
untrue statement or representation made by it, its agents or anyone
else (whether innocently or negligently) upon which you relied upon
entering this Agreement, unless such untrue statement or
representation was made fraudulently.
