    1. Definitions.

    “Adobe” means Adobe Systems Incorporated, a Delaware corporation, 345 Park Avenue, San Jose, California 95110 if this agreement is entered into while you are in the United States, Canada or Mexico; otherwise, it means Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited, 4-6 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, Ireland.

    “Adobe Runtime(s)” means Adobe AIR, Adobe Flash Player, Shockwave Player, or Authorware Player.

  • “Computer” means a virtual or physical computer device that accepts information in digital or similar form and manipulates it for a specific result based on a sequence of instructions.

    “Internal Network” means a private, proprietary network resource accessible only by employees and individual contractors (i.e., temporary employees) of a specific corporation or similar business entity. Internal Network does not include portions of the Internet or any other network community open to the public, such as membership or subscription driven groups, associations, and similar organizations.

    “Output File” means an output file you create with the Software.

    “Permitted Number” means one (1) unless otherwise indicated under a valid license (e.g., volume license) granted by Adobe.

    “Software” means (a) all of the information with which this agreement is provided, including but not limited to: (i) all software files and other computer information; (ii) sample and stock photographs, images, sounds, clip art and other artistic works bundled with Adobe software and not obtained from Adobe through a separate service (unless otherwise noted within that service) or from another party through a separate service (“Content Files”); (iii) related explanatory written materials and files (“Documentation”); and (iv) fonts; and (b) any modified versions and copies of, and upgrades, updates and additions to, such information, provided to you by Adobe at any time, to the extent not provided under separate terms (collectively, “Updates”).

    2. Software License.

    If you obtained the Software and any required serial number(s) from Adobe or one of its authorized licensees and as long as you comply with the terms of this agreement, Adobe grants you a non-exclusive license to install and use the Software in a manner consistent with its design and Documentation and as further set forth below. See Section 16 for specific provisions related to the use of certain products and components, for example font software, Acrobat, After Effects, Adobe Presenter, Contribute, Adobe Device Central, Flash Player, Flash Builder, and Adobe Runtimes.

    2.1 Limited Use. The Software, or portions of the Software, may allow installation and use without a serial number. If so, you may install but not use such non-serialized Software on any number of Computers as part of an organizational deployment plan. Further, you may install and use such non-serialized Software on any number of Computers for demonstration, evaluation and training purposes only and only if any Output Files or other materials produced through such use are used only for internal, non-commercial and non-production purposes. You may not use such non-serialized Software after any applicable time-out period has ended, unless you input a valid serial number under Section 2.2. ACCESS TO AND USE OF ANY OUTPUT FILES CREATED WITH SUCH NON-SERIALIZED SOFTWARE IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

    2.2 General Use. You may install and use one copy of the Software only on the Permitted Number of your compatible Computers into which you enter a valid serial number.

    2.3 Distribution from Server. You may copy an image of the Software onto Computer file server(s) within your Internal Network for the purpose of downloading and installing the Software onto Computers within the same Internal Network for use as permitted by Section 2.1 and 2.2.

    2.4 Server Use. You may install the Software on Computer file server(s) within your Internal Network only for use of the Software initiated by an individual from a Computer within the same Internal Network only as permitted by Section 2.2. The total number of users (not the concurrent number of users) able to use the Software on such Computer file server(s) may not exceed the Permitted Number.

    By way of example, the foregoing does not permit you to install or access (either directly or through commands, data or instructions) the Software: (a) from or to a Computer not part of your Internal Network, (b) for enabling Web hosted workgroups or services available to the public, (c) by any individual or entity to use, download, copy or otherwise benefit from the functionality of the Software unless licensed to do so by Adobe, (d) as a component of a system, workflow or service accessible by more than the Permitted

  • Number of users, or (e) for operations not initiated by an individual user (e.g., automated server processing).

    2.5 Portable or Home Computer Use. Subject to the important restrictions set forth in Section 2.6, the primary user of the Computer on which the Software is installed under Section 2.2 (“Primary User”) may install a second copy of the Software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable Computer or a Computer located at his or her home, provided that the Software on the portable or home Computer is not used at the same time as the Software on the primary Computer.

    2.6 Restrictions on Secondary Use by Volume Licensees. If the Software was obtained under an Adobe volume license program (currently known as Adobe Open Options) by any licensee other than an educational volume licensee, the second copy of the Software made under Section 2.5 must be used solely for the benefit and business of that volume licensee. For more information about secondary use by volume licensees, please visit our Web Site at http://www.adobe.com/go/open_options_ae.

    2.7 Backup Copy. You may make a reasonable number of backup copies of the Software, provided your backup copies are not installed or used for other than archival purposes.

    2.8 Content Files. Unless stated otherwise in the “Read-Me” files or other license(s) associated with the Content Files, which may include specific rights and restrictions with respect to such materials, you may use, display, modify, reproduce and distribute any of the Content Files. However, you may not distribute the Content Files on a stand-alone basis (i.e., in circumstances in which the Content Files constitute the primary value of the product being distributed), and you may not claim any trademark rights in the Content Files or derivative works thereof.

    2.9 Sample Application Code. You may modify the source code form of those portions of the Software programs that are identified as sample code, sample application code, or sample components (each, “Sample Application Code”) in the accompanying Documentation solely for the purposes of designing, developing and testing Web Sites and applications developed using Adobe software programs; provided, however, you are permitted to copy and distribute the Sample Application Code (modified or unmodified) only if all of the following conditions are met: (a) you distribute only the compiled object Sample Application Code with your application; (b) you do not include the Sample Application Code in any product or application designed for Web Site development; and (c) you do not use the Adobe name, logos or other Adobe trademarks to market your application. You agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Adobe from and against any loss, damage, claims or lawsuits, including attorney’s fees, that arise or result from the use or distribution of your application.

    2.10 Programming Languages. The Software may include portions of the ExtendScript SDK and Pixel Bender SDK. Subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 2, Adobe grants to you a nonexclusive, nontransferable, royalty-free license to use the items in the ExtendScript SDK and Pixel Bender SDK only for the purpose of internal development of application programs designed to function with Adobe products. Except as expressly provided in this Section 2.10, no portions of the ExtendScript SDK or the Pixel Bender may be modified or distributed. You agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Adobe from and against any loss, damage, claims or lawsuits, including attorney’s fees, that arise or result from such distribution.

    2.11 Dual Boot Platform. The Software is licensed for use on a specific operating system platform. You must purchase a separate license for use of the Software on each operating system platform. By way of example, if you desire to install the Software on both the Mac OS and Windows operating system platforms on a device that runs both of those platforms (i.e., a dual boot machine), then you must first obtain two separate licenses for the Software. This is true even if two versions of the Software, each designed for a different operating system platform, are delivered to you on the same media.

    2.12 Documentation. You may make copies of the Documentation for your own internal use in connection with use of the Software in accordance with this agreement but no more than the amount reasonably necessary. Any permitted copy of the Documentation that you make must contain the same copyright and other proprietary notices that appear on or in the Documentation.

  • 3. Intellectual Property Ownership.

    The Software and any authorized copies that you make are the intellectual property of and are owned by Adobe Systems Incorporated and its suppliers. The structure, organization, and source code of the Software are the valuable trade secrets and confidential information of Adobe Systems Incorporated and its suppliers. The Software is protected by law, including but not limited to the copyright laws of the United States and other countries, and by international treaty provisions. Except as expressly stated herein, this agreement does not grant you any intellectual property rights in the Software and all rights not expressly granted are reserved by Adobe and its suppliers.

    4. Restrictions and Requirements.

    4.1 Notices. Any permitted copy of the Software that you make must contain the same copyright and other proprietary notices that appear on or in the Software.

    4.2 Use Obligations. You agree that you will not use the Software other than as permitted by this agreement and that you will not use the Software in a manner inconsistent with its design or Documentation.

    4.3 No Modifications. Except as expressly permitted in Sections 2.8, 2.9 or 16, you may not modify, port, adapt, or translate the Software.

    4.4 No Reverse Engineering. You will not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code of the Software. If you are located in the European Union, please refer to Section 16.1.

    4.5 No Unbundling. The Software may include various applications, utilities, and components, may support multiple platforms and languages, and may be provided to you on multiple media or in multiple copies. Nonetheless, the Software is designed and provided to you as a single product to be used as a single product on Computers as permitted by Sections 2 and 16. You are not required to install all component parts of the Software, but you may not unbundle the component parts of the Software for use on different Computers. You may not unbundle or repackage the Software for distribution, transfer or resale. See Section 16 for specific exceptions to this Section 4.5.

    4.6 No Transfer. YOU WILL NOT RENT, LEASE, SELL, SUBLICENSE, ASSIGN OR TRANSFER YOUR RIGHTS IN THE SOFTWARE, OR AUTHORIZE ANY PORTION OF THE SOFTWARE TO BE COPIED ONTO ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL OR LEGAL ENTITY’S COMPUTER EXCEPT AS MAY BE EXPRESSLY PERMITTED HEREIN. You may, however, permanently transfer all your rights to use the Software to another individual or legal entity provided that: (a) you also transfer (i) this agreement, (ii) the serial number(s), the Software affixed to media provided by Adobe or its authorized distributor, and all other software or hardware bundled, packaged or pre-installed with the Software, including all copies, upgrades, updates, and prior versions, and (iii) all copies of font software converted into other formats to such individual or entity; (b) you retain no upgrades, updates or copies, including backups and copies stored on a Computer; and (c) the receiving party accepts the terms and conditions of this agreement and any other terms and conditions under which you purchased a valid license to the Software. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, YOU MAY NOT TRANSFER EDUCATION, PRE-RELEASE, OR NOT FOR RESALE COPIES OF THE SOFTWARE OR SOFTWARE OBTAINED UNDER AN ADOBE VOLUME LICENSE PROGRAM EXCEPT AS MAY BE EXPRESSLY PERMITTED BY ADOBE WITHIN THE TERMS OF A VOLUME LICENSE PROGRAM. Information about obtaining the right to transfer volume licensed software may be found at http://www.adobe.com/go/openoption_policies_ae. Prior to a transfer, Adobe may require that you and the receiving party confirm in writing your compliance with this agreement, provide Adobe with information about yourselves, and register as end-users of the Software. Allow 4-6 weeks to transfer. Please visit http://www.adobe.com/go/support_ae or contact Adobe’s Customer Support Department for more information.

    4.7 No Service Bureau. You will not use or offer the Software on a service bureau basis.

  • 4.8 Adobe Runtime Restrictions. You will not use Adobe Runtimes on any non-PC device or with any embedded or device version of any operating system.

For information on licensing Adobe Runtimes for use on such systems please visit http://www.adobe.com/go/licensing_ae.

    5. Updates.

    If the Software is an upgrade or update to a previous version of Adobe software, you must possess a valid license to such previous version in order to use such upgrade or update. After you install such update or upgrade, you may continue to use any such previous version in accordance with its end-user license agreement only if (a) the upgrade or update and all previous versions are installed on the same Computer, (b) the previous versions or copies thereof are not transferred to another party or device unless all copies of the update or upgrade are also transferred to such party or device, and (c) you acknowledge that any obligation Adobe may have to support the previous version(s) may end upon the availability of the upgrade or update. No other use of the previous version(s) is permitted after installation of an update or upgrade. Upgrades and updates may be licensed to you by Adobe with additional or different terms.

    6. Limited Warranty.

    Adobe warrants to the individual or entity that first purchases a license for the Software for use pursuant to the terms of this agreement that the Software will perform substantially in accordance with the Documentation for the ninety (90) day period following receipt of the Software when used on the recommended operating system and hardware configuration. Non-substantial variation of performance from the Documentation does not establish a warranty right. This limited warranty does not apply to the following, which are made available AS-IS and without warranty from Adobe: patches, font software converted into other formats; pre-release (beta), trial, starter, evaluation, product sampler, and not for resale (NFR) copies of the Software; Web Sites, Adobe Online Services; Third Party Online Services; Certified Document Services (see Section 16); and any software made available by Adobe for free via Web download from an Adobe Web Site. All warranty claims must be made, along with proof of purchase, to the Adobe Customer Support Department within such ninety (90) day period. Visit the Adobe Customer Support pages at http://www.adobe.com/go/support_ae for more information about warranty claims. If the Software does not perform substantially in accordance with the Documentation, the entire liability of Adobe and its affiliates and your exclusive remedy will be limited to either, at Adobe’s option, replacement of the Software or refund of the license fee you paid for the Software. THE LIMITED WARRANTY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS. YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS UNDER LAW WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. ADOBE DOES NOT SEEK TO LIMIT YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS TO ANY EXTENT NOT PERMITTED BY LAW. Please see Section 16 for jurisdiction-specific provisions or contact the Adobe Customer Support Department.

    EXCEPT FOR THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OFFERED BY ADOBE ABOVE AND ANY REMEDIES THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER LAW, ADOBE, ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, AND CERTIFICATE AUTHORITIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGES, CLAIMS, OR COSTS WHATSOEVER INCLUDING ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, ANY LOST PROFITS OR LOST SAVINGS, ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, PERSONAL INJURY OR FAILURE TO MEET ANY DUTY OF CARE, OR CLAIMS BY A THIRD PARTY, EVEN IF AN ADOBE REPRESENTATIVE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS, DAMAGES, CLAIMS OR COSTS. IN ANY EVENT, ADOBE’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY AND THAT OF ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, AND CERTIFICATE AUTHORITIES UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE, IF ANY. THIS LIMITATION WILL APPLY EVEN IN THE EVENT OF A FUNDAMENTAL OR MATERIAL BREACH OR A BREACH OF THE FUNDAMENTAL OR MATERIAL TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. 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).

    9. 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 an export controlled item under the Export Laws, you represent and warrant that you are not a citizen of, or located within, an embargoed or otherwise restricted 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.

  • 10. 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 jurisdiction 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, China, Korea, or other Southeast Asian country where all official languages are written in either an ideographic script (e.g., Hanzi, Kanji, or Hanja), and/or other script based upon or similar in structure to an ideographic script, such as hangul or kana; or (c) 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. 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.

    11. 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 will remain valid and enforceable according to its terms. This agreement may only be modified in writing, signed by an authorized officer of Adobe. 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.

    12. 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 will be incorporated by reference in this agreement.

    13. Compliance with Licenses.

    If you are a business, company, or organization, you agree that, no more than once every 12 months, Adobe or its authorized representative shall, upon 10 days’ prior notice to you, have the right to inspect your records, systems, and facilities to verify that your use of any and all Adobe software is in conformity with your valid licenses from Adobe. For example, Adobe has the right to those of your records useful to determine whether installations of the Software have, or have not, been serialized, and you shall provide such records to Adobe promptly upon request by Adobe. You may find information about counting Software serializations at http://www.adobe.com/go/volume_resources_ae. If a verification discloses that your use is not in conformity with a valid license, you shall immediately obtain valid licenses to bring your use into conformity.

    14. Internet Connectivity and Privacy.

    14.1 Automatic Connections to the Internet. The Software may cause your Computer, without additional notice, automatically to connect to the Internet and to communicate with an Adobe Web Site for purposes that may include providing you with additional information, features and functionality. Unless otherwise specified in Sections 14.2 through 14.6, the following provisions apply to all automatic Internet connections by the Software:

  • 14.1.1 When the Software automatically connects to the Internet, an Internet protocol address (“IP Address”) that is associated with your current Internet connection is sent to an Adobe Web Site;

    14.1.2 When the Software automatically connects to the Internet, no personally identifiable information is sent except to the extent that IP Addresses may be considered personally identifiable in some jurisdictions; and

    14.1.3 Whenever the Software makes an Internet connection and communicates with an Adobe Web Site, whether automatically or due to explicit user request, the Adobe Privacy Policy (http://www.adobe.com/go/privacy_ae) shall apply. Additionally, unless you are provided with separate terms of use at that time, the Adobe.com Terms of Use (http://www.adobe.com/go/terms_ae) shall apply. Please note that the Adobe Privacy Policy allows tracking of Web Site visits and it addresses in detail the topic of tracking and use of cookies, Web beacons, and similar devices.

    14.2 Updating. The Software may cause your Computer, without additional notice, automatically to connect to the Internet (intermittently or on a regular basis) to check for Updates that are available for download to and installation on your Computer and to let Adobe know the results of installation attempts. Please consult the Documentation for information about changing update settings.

    14.3 Activation. The Software may cause your Computer, without additional notice, and on an intermittent or regular basis, automatically to connect to the Internet in order to validate that the Software is being operated in accordance with this agreement (a process referred to as “Activation”). In some cases, Software that fails to activate may offer only limited functionality or may not operate at all. Please visit http://www.adobe.com/go/activation_ae for more details.

    14.4 Use of Adobe Online Services. The Software may cause your Computer, without additional notice, and on an intermittent or regular basis, automatically to connect to the Internet to facilitate your access to content and services that are provided to you by Adobe as further described in Section 16.5. In addition, the Software may, without additional notice, automatically connect to the Internet to update downloadable materials from these services so as to provide immediate availability of these services even when you are offline. Please consult the Documentation for information about changing update settings.

    14.5 Digital Certificates. The Software uses digital certificates to help you identify downloaded files (e.g., applications and content) and the publishers of those files. For example, Adobe AIR uses digital certificates to help you identify the publisher of Adobe AIR applications and the Adobe Acrobat family of products uses digital certificates to sign and validate signatures within PDF documents and to validate certified PDF documents. Your Computer may connect to the Internet at the time of validation of a digital certificate.

    14.6 Settings Manager. The Software may include Flash Player. Flash Player may cause certain user settings to be stored on your Computer as a local shared object. These settings are not associated with you, but allow you to configure certain settings within the Flash Player. You can find more information on local shared objects at http://www.adobe.com/go/flashplayer_security_ae and more information on the Settings Manager at http://www.adobe.com/go/settingsmanager_ae.

    15. Peer to Peer Communications.

    The Software may use your connection to a local area network, without additional notice, automatically to connect to other Adobe software and, in doing so, may indicate on the local area network that it is available for communication with other Adobe software. These connections may transmit the IP Address of your connection to the local network but no personally identifiable information is ever transmitted or received through such network connections (except to the extent that IP addresses may be considered personally identifiable in some jurisdictions). Please consult the Documentation for information about changing default settings.

  • 16. Specific Provisions and Exceptions.

    This section sets forth specific provisions related to certain products and components of the Software as well as limited exceptions to the above terms and conditions. To the extent that any provision in this section is in conflict with any other term or condition in this agreement, this section will supersede such other term or condition.

    16.1 No Prejudice, European Union Provisions.

    16.1.1 This agreement will not prejudice the statutory rights of any party, including those dealing as consumers. For example, for consumers in New Zealand who obtain the Software for personal, domestic, or household use (not business purposes), this agreement is subject to the Consumer Guarantees Act.

    16.1.2 If you obtained the Software in the European Union (EU), you usually reside in the EU and you are a consumer (that is you use the Software for personal, non-business related purposes), then Section 6 does not apply to your purchase and use of the Software. Instead, Adobe warrants for a period of 2 years from purchase that the Software provides the functionalities set forth in the Documentation (the “agreed upon functionalities”) when used on the recommended hardware configuration. Non-substantial variation from the agreed upon functionalities will not establish any warranty rights. THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO SOFTWARE THAT YOU USE ON A PRE-RELEASE, TRYOUT, STARTER, OR PRODUCT SAMPLER BASIS, OR TO FONT SOFTWARE CONVERTED INTO OTHER FORMATS, OR TO THE EXTENT THE SOFTWARE FAILS TO PERFORM BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN ALTERED BY YOU. To make a warranty claim, you must notify the Adobe Customer Support Department during this 2 year period, providing details of proof of purchase of the Software. Adobe will verify with you whether there is a defect in the Software or advise you that the error arises because you have not installed the Software correctly (in which case, Adobe shall assist you). If there is a defect in the Software, you may request from Adobe either a refund or a repaired or replacement copy of the Software. Requests must be accompanied by proof of purchase. In the event your warranty details are substantiated, Adobe will meet your request for repaired or replacement Software, unless it is not reasonable for Adobe to do so, in which case Adobe will provide you with a refund. For warranty assistance, please contact the Adobe Customer Support Department.

    Please note that the provisions of Section 8 (Limitation of Liability) will continue to apply to any damages claims you make in respect of your use of the Software. Nonetheless, Adobe shall be liable for direct losses that are reasonably foreseeable in the event of a breach by Adobe of this agreement. You are advised to take all reasonable measures to avoid and reduce damages, in particular by making back-up copies of the Software and your computer data.

    This agreement, and in particular, this Section 16.1.2, is intended to describe your rights (including your statutory rights) in the event there should be problems with your use of the Software. If your statutory rights are greater than this description, your statutory rights shall apply.

    16.1.3 Nothing included in this agreement (including Section 4.4) shall limit any non-waivable right to decompile the Software that you may enjoy under applicable 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 operability and Adobe has not made such information available. In addition, such decompilation may only be performed 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 that is substantially similar to the expression of the Software or used for any other act that infringes the copyright of Adobe or its licensors.

    16.1 无损害,欧盟规定。

    16.1.1 本协议不会损害任一方的法定权利,包括消费者的法定权利。例如,对购买本软件用于个人用途、内部使用以及家用(非商业目的)的新西兰消费者,本协议适用《消费者担保法》(Consumer Guarantees Act)。

    16.1.2 如果您是在欧盟(EU)获得本软件,并常住欧盟且是消费者(即您使用本软件是出于非商业个人目的),那么第 6 条不适用于您对本软件的购买和使用。在这种情况下,Adobe 保证从购买之日起两(2)年内,在建议硬件配置上使用本软件时将提供文档指定的功能(“协议功能”)。协议功能发生非重大变化的,不构成任何担保权利。本担保不适用于您使用的预发行版本、试用版本、启动版本,也不适用于转换成其他格式的字体软件,或因您修改而无法正常运行的软件。提出担保索赔时,您必须在该 2 年期间内通知 Adobe 客户支持部,并提供详细的软件购买证明。Adobe 将向您核实软件是否存在缺陷,或告知您错误是由于您未正确安装软件而引起(在这种情况下,Adobe 将提供协助)。如果软件存在缺陷,您可以要求 Adobe 退款或维修/替换软件副本。提出要求时必须随附购买证明。如果您的担保详情得到证实,Adobe 将满足您维修/替换软件的要求,但要求不合理的除外(在这种情况下,Adobe 将给予您退款)。要获得担保协助,请与 Adobe 的客户支持部门联系。

  • 请注意,第 8 条(责任限制)的规定将继续适用于您提出的与使用本软件有关的损害索赔。但Adobe 将负责 Adobe 违反本协议时可合理预见的直接损失。建议您采取一切合理措施,特别是备份软件和计算机数据,避免并减少损害。

    本协议,特别是第 16.1.2 条旨在规定您使用本软件遇到问题时享有的权利(包括您的法定权利)。如果您的法定权利大于此处规定的权利,则以您的法定权利为准。

    16.1.3 本协议的任何内容(包括第 4.4 条)均不限制您根据有关法律享有的不可放弃的反编译软件权利。例如,如果您位于欧盟(EU),在为了实现本软件与其他软件程序的互用性而必须对本软件进行反编译,且您已预先书面要求 Adobe 提供实现此类互用性而需要的信息,而 Adobe 未提供此类信息的情况下,您有权按照有关法律规定的条件对本软件进行反编译。此外,该等反编译只能由您或有权代表您使用本软件副本的其他人员进行。Adobe 有权在提供此类信息时提出合理的条件。Adobe 按照本协议规定提供或您按本协议规定获取的任何信息只能由您用于协议规定之目的,不得披露给第三方,也不得用于创建任何与本软件风格基本相似的软件或用于侵犯 Adobe 或其许可人版权的任何其他行为。

    16.2 预发行版软件的附加条款。如果本软件是预发行的版本或试用版软件(“预发行软件”),则本条将适用。预发行软件是一个预发行版本,不代表 Adobe 提供的最终产品,可能含有缺陷、错误,以及可能造成数据丢失、系统等方面出现故障的其他问题。Adobe 从不以商业方式发布或提供“预发行软件”。如果您是依照单独的书面协议获得预发行软件的,例如 Adobe Systems Incorporated 的“预发行软件许可协议”,那么您对该软件的使用也适用此类协议。您同意按 Adobe的要求或在 Adobe 商业性发布软件后退回或销毁“预发行软件”的所有副本。您使用测试版软件的风险,由您自行承担。有关测试版软件的担保免责声明及责任限制,请参阅第 7 和第 8 条。

    16.4.2 如果授权数量的计算机为五台或以下,您可将字体软件下载到至少与其中一台该等计算机连接的一个输出设备的记忆体(硬盘或 RAM),以使字体软件保留在该输出设备内。凡授权数量的计算机每多五台时,可将字体软件下载到另一个输出设备。

    16.4.3 您可将用于某一特定文件的字体复制到一个商业打印机或其他服务局,而该服务局可用此(等)字体处理您的文件,但条件是,该服务局有使用此特定字体软件的有效许可证。

  • 16.4.4 您可将字体软件转为另一格式并将之安装在其他环境,但须符合以下条件:使用或安装该转换后的字体软件的计算机将作为您授权数量的计算机之一。经您转换的字体软件将根据本协议的所有条款和条件使用。该转换后的字体软件仅可用于您自己的惯常内部业务或个人用途,不得为任何目的而分发或转让,但按本协议第 4.6 条进行者,则属例外。

    16.4.5 您可为打印及阅览电子文档而将字体软件的副本嵌入该电子文档。如果您嵌入的字体软件在 Adobe 网站(http://www.adobe.com/go/embedding_eula_cn)上被列为“licensed for editable embedding”(允许嵌入以进行编辑),则还可嵌入该字体软件的副本,以额外编辑您的电子文档。本许可证并不默示或许可任何其他嵌入权。

    16.4.6 作为上述规定的例外,http://www.adobe.com/go/restricted_fonts_cn 所列的字体包含在本软件内仅仅是为了软件用户界面的运行,而不是为了包含在输出文件中。此类列出的字体未根据上面第 16.4.1 和第 16.4.5 条给予许可。您同意不复制、移动、激活,或利用或允许任何字体管理工具,在非本软件的任何软件应用程序、程序或文件中复制、移动、激活或使用此类列出的字体。
