LIMITED WARRANTY AND SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND OTHER COUNTRIES/REGIONS

LIMITED WARRANTY. This Limited Warranty covers the SOFTWARE and HARDWARE as defined in the EULA. Manufacturer warrants that (a) the SOFTWARE will perform substantially in accordance with the accompanying textual materials for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of receipt, and (b) any HARDWARE accompanying the SOFTWARE will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of three (3) years from the date of receipt. If an implied warranty or condition is created by your state/jurisdiction and federal or state/provincial law prohibits disclaimer of it, you also have an implied warranty or condition, but only as to defects discovered during the period of this Limited Warranty (ninety (90) days for the SOFTWARE, and three (3) years for the HARDWARE). As to defects discovered after that period, there is no warranty or condition of any kind. Some states/jurisdictions do not allow limitations on duration of an implied warranty, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

LIMITATION ON REMEDIES; NO CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES. Your exclusive remedy for any breach of this Limited Warranty is as set forth below. Except for any refund elected by Manufacturer, you are not entitled to any damages, including but not limited to consequential or incidental damages, if the SOFTWARE and/or the HARDWARE do not meet this Limited Warranty, and, to the maximum extent allowed by applicable law, even if any remedy fails of its essential purpose. The terms of the EULA section entitled "Exclusion of Incidental, Consequential and Certain Other Damages" are incorporated into this Limited Warranty. Please read those terms and conditions. Some states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may have others which vary from state/jurisdiction to state/jurisdiction.

YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. Subject to any applicable law, Manufacturer's and its suppliers' entire liability and your exclusive remedy shall be, at Manufacturer's option, (a) replacement of the SOFTWARE or HARDWARE that does not meet this Limited Warranty and that is returned to Manufacturer with a copy of your receipt, or (b) return of the price paid, (if any). You will receive the remedy elected by Manufacturer without charge, except that you are responsible for any expenses you may incur (e.g., cost of shipping the SOFTWARE or HARDWARE to Manufacturer). This Limited Warranty is void if failure of the SOFTWARE or HARDWARE has resulted from accident, abuse, misapplication, abnormal use or a virus. Any replacement SOFTWARE or HARDWARE will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or thirty (30) days, whichever is longer. Outside the United States or Canada, these remedies are not available without proof of purchase from an authorized international source. To exercise your remedy, you should contact Manufacturer as set forth in the documentation accompanying your COMPUTER.

If you acquired the SOFTWARE and HARDWARE in the United States of America, this Software License Agreement and Warranty are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, U.S.A. If you acquired the SOFTWARE and HARDWARE outside the United States of America, local law may apply.
