4. ALPHA RELEASE
VERSIONS. In the event that the Software is a alpha
release version, the terms of this Section shall apply. Your license to use the Software expires 45
days after installation (or such other period as indicated by the Software) and
the Software may cease to function. The Software you are receiving may contain

to distribute a commercial release of the Software, RN reserves the right at
any time not to release a commercial release of the Software or, if released,
to alter features, specifications, capabilities, functions, licensing terms,
release dates, general availability or other characteristics of the commercial
release. You agree that the alpha
release versions are not suitable for production use and may contain errors
affecting their proper operation. You
agree that you will not do anything to circumvent or defeat the features
designed to stop the Software from operating after the license expires.
5. BETA RELEASE OR
PRE-RELEASE VERSIONS. In the event that the Software

operation. You agree that you will not
do anything to circumvent or defeat the features designed to stop the Software
from operating after the license expires.
6. AUTOMATIC
COMMUNICATIONS FEATURES.
a) The Software consists of interactive Internet applications that perform a variety of communications over the Internet as part of their normal operation. A number of communications features are automatic and are enabled by default. By installing and/or using the Software, you consent to the Software’s communications features. Once you log into the Software, user information including your user id will be sent in communications with RN’s servers. This information is used to access your regular account, premium content, non-premium content, services, features, and other personalized services. RN may match the user id to personally identifiable information in order to provide you with products, services, and software that you’re entitled to and to provide you with relevant information. You are responsible for any telecommunications or other connectivity charges incurred through use of the Software.
b) Cookies: The Software also allows the use of cookies, similar to an Internet browser. This allows any website to set cookies for you when you view any of the website’s content through the Software, unless you have disabled cookies. If you have disabled cookies, you may be asked to login each time you access premium software features and services and some RealOne services may not function properly. To learn more, visit the RealNetworks Privacy Policy link on our website at http://www.realnetworks.com/company/privacy/index.html.
c) AutoUpdate: The RealOne Player, using AutoUpdate, automatically communicates with RN's servers on the Internet to check for updates to RN’s and RN partner’s software, such as bug fixes, patches, enhanced functions, missing plug-ins and new versions. AutoUpdate also has the capability to run independently of RealOne Player to perform background update checks. RN may download updates during the background checks, when RealOne Player automatically communicates with RN’s servers, when you manually check for updates, or when RealOne Player detects a file it does not support. AutoUpdate sends information about installed RealNetworks’ products and components to the servers to determine upgrade availability. If you prefer to be notified when an auto-update is performed, follow these steps: On the Tools menu, select Preferences, AutoUpdate, and then de-select “Automatically download and install software updates.” However, as we describe above, certain updates to RealOne Player functionality will happen automatically and without advance notification.
d) Message Center: The RealOne Player software, using Message Center, automatically communicates with RN’s servers to check for new important messages, including software updates and service bulletins. Message Center can also run independently of RealOne Player to perform background new message checks. Message Center sends information about installed RealNetworks’ products and components to the servers to allow receipt of suitable product update and other messages. Message Center is set by default to show message headlines and to check for messages once or twice a week. You can change the way messages are displayed and the frequency messages are checked by following these steps: On the View menu, select ‘Message Center’; The Messaging Center dialog appears; On Options, select ‘Delivery Preferences’ and select the desired preferences. If you sign up for services that send messages more often than the frequency you have selected, your frequency selection may be adjusted. The first time you use RealOne Player, you will be sent a Welcome Message that will enable you to opt-out of receiving Special Offers messages and opt-in to receive other personalized messages, depending on your categories of interest. Receipt of upgrade information is not optional.
7. DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (“DRMs”). The Software may include third party DRMs as Plug-in
components which are subject to their own license agreements. DRMs are designed to manage and enforce
intellectual property rights in digital content purchased over the Internet.
You may not take any action to circumvent or defeat the security or content
usage rules provided or enforced by either the DRM or the Software. DRMs may be able to revoke your ability to
use applicable content. RN is not
responsible for the operation of the DRM in any way, including revocation of
your content. RN is not responsible for any communications to or from any third
party DRM provider, or for the collection or use of information by third party
DRMs. You consent to the communications
enabled and/or performed by the DRM.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless RN for any claim relating to
your use of a third party DRM.

intellectual property rights in and to the Software and Documentation shall

the arbitrability of any claim or dispute and the enforceability of this
paragraph), or to any other alleged act or omission by you or RN toward the
other, shall be final and binding arbitration.
The arbitration shall be conducted under the Commercial Arbitration
Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) before a panel of three
arbitrators and conducted in the State of Washington. You and RN also agree
that the AAA Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection shall apply to
the proceedings. You and RN may litigate in court only to compel arbitration
under this License Agreement or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on
the award rendered by the arbitrators. To the extent
that you have breached or have indicated your intention to breach this
Agreement in any manner which violates or may violate RN’s intellectual
property rights, or may cause continuing or irreparable harm to RN (including,
but not limited to, any breach that may impact RN's intellectual property
rights, or a breach by reverse engineering), RN may seek injunctive relief, or
any other appropriate relief, in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and RN must commence an
arbitration by filing a demand for arbitration with the AAA within ONE (1) YEAR
after the date the party asserting the claim first knows or reasonably should
know of the act, omission or default giving rise to the claim; and there shall
be no right to any remedy for any claim not asserted within that time period
(If applicable law prohibits a one‑year limitations period for asserting
claims, the claim must be asserted within the shortest time period in excess of
one year that is permitted by applicable law.). To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: no arbitration under this License Agreement
shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other current or former
licensee of RN, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise; no
finding or stipulation of fact in any other arbitration, judicial or similar
proceeding may be given preclusive or collateral estoppel effect in any
arbitration hereunder (unless determined in another proceeding between you and
RN); and no conclusion of law in any other arbitration may be given any weight
in any arbitration hereunder (unless determined in another proceeding between
you and RN). This Agreement shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Washington and the Federal Arbitration
Act, without regard to conflicts of law provisions, and you hereby consent to
the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State
of Washington.

This Agreement shall constitute the complete and exclusive agreement
between us, notwithstanding any variance with any purchase order or other
written instrument submitted by you, whether formally rejected by RN or
not. The acceptance of any purchase
order is you place is expressly made conditional on your consent to the terms
set forth herein. The terms and
conditions contained in this Agreement may not be modified by you except in a
writing duly signed by you and an authorized representative of RN. 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 such decision shall not affect
the enforceability of such provision under other circumstances, or of the
remaining provisions hereof under all circumstances. This Agreement will not be
governed by the United Nations Convention of Contracts for the International
Sale of Goods, the application of which is hereby expressly excluded.
