The terms of your license agreement for the Ahead Software described above
depend on whether you purchased the Software from: (1) an Ahead OEM
partner; or (2) Ahead or an Ahead reseller.
MPEG Layer-3 audio compression technology licensed by Fraunhofer IIS and
Thomson Multimedia.
A. LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO SOFTWARE PURCHASED FROM OEM
PARTNER
This is a legal agreement between you, the end user, and Ahead Software AG,
Im Stoeckmaedle 18, 76307 Karlsbad, Germany ("Ahead"). By opening the
sealed Ahead Software, you are agreeing to be bound by the terms of this
agreement. If you do not agree to the terms of this agreement, promptly
return the Ahead Software and the accompanying items (including written
materials and binders or other containers) to the place you obtained them
for a full refund.
I. Grant of license
This Ahead license agreement (license) permits you to use one copy of the
Software acquired with this license on any single computer, provided the
Software is in use on only one computer at any time. If you have a multiple
license for the Software, you may then have as many copies of the Software
as you have licenses, in use at any time. The Software is in use on a
computer when it is loaded into the temporary memory or installed into the
permanent memory (e.g. hard disk, CD ROM, or other storage device) of that
computer, except that a copy installed on a network server for the sole
purpose of distribution to other computers is not in use. If the
anticipated number of users of the Software will exceed the number of
applicable licenses, then you must have a reasonable mechanism or process
in place to assure that the number of persons using the Software
concurrently does not exceed the number of licenses. Should one person use
a computer on which the Software is permanently installed, either on the
hard disk or other storage device of the computer (other than a network
server), for more than 80% of the time it is in use, then that person may
also use the Software on a portable or home computer.
You are only licensed to use the Software if purchased as a bundle with
CD/DVD-Recording hardware.
II. Copyright
The Software is owned by Ahead or its suppliers and is protected by
copyright laws, international treaty provisions, and other national laws.
Therefore, you must treat the Software like any other copyrighted
material (e.g. a book) except that if the Software is not copy protected
you may either
(a) make one copy of the Software solely for backup or archival purposes,
(b) or transfer the Software to a single hard disk provided you keep the
original solely for backup or archival purposes. Product manual(s) or
written materials accompanying the Software may not be copied.
III. Other restrictions
You may not rent or lease the Software, but you may transfer your rights
under this Ahead license agreement on a permanent basis provided you
transfer all copies of the Software and all written materials, and the
recipient agrees to the terms of this agreement. You may not reverse
engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software. Any transfer must include
the most recent update and all prior versions. This Ahead license agreement
(license) does not include the right to use the included MPEG Layer-3 audio
compression technology for use in real time broadcasting (terrestrial,
satellite, cable or other media) or broadcasting via Internet or other
networks, such as but not limited to intranets etc. or in pay-audio or
audio-on-demand applications.

pecuniary loss) arising out of the use of or inability to use this Ahead
product, even if Ahead has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

B. LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO SOFTWARE PURCHASED FROM AHEAD

The license terms and conditions applicable to Software purchased from
Ahead or an Ahead Reseller are exactly the same as set forth in Section A
above, except that Section 1 (Grant of license) and 4 (Warranties) shall
read as follows:
I. Grant of license
This Ahead license agreement (license) permits you to use one copy of the
Software acquired with this license on any single computer, provided the
Software is in use on only one computer at any time. If you have a multiple
license for the Software, you may then have as many copies of the Software
as you have licenses, in use at any time. The Software is in use on a
computer when it is loaded into the temporary memory or installed into the
permanent memory (e.g. hard disk, CD ROM, or other storage device) of that
computer, except that a copy installed on a network server for the sole
purpose of distribution to other computers is not in use. If the
anticipated number of users of the Software will exceed the number of
applicable licenses, then you must have a reasonable mechanism or process
in place to assure that the number of persons using the Software
concurrently does not exceed the number of licenses. Should one person use
a computer on which the Software is permanently installed, either on the
hard disk or other storage device of the computer (other than a network
server), for more than 80% of the time it is in use,
then that person may also use the Software on a portable or home computer.
II. Warranties
Ahead warrants that for a period of 90 days from the date of receipt, the
Software will perform substantially in accordance with the accompanying
documentation. Any implied warranties on the Software are limited to 90
days or the shortest period permitted by applicable law, whichever is
greater. Ahead`s entire liability and your exclusive remedy for a breach
of this warranty shall be, at Ahead`s option, either (a) return of the
price paid or (b) repair or replacement of the Software that does not meet
Ahead`s limited warranty and which is returned to Ahead with a copy of your
receipt. If failure of the Software has resulted from accident, abuse, or
misapplication, this limited warranty shall be void. Any replacement
Software will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty
period or 30 days, whichever is longer. AHEAD MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES TO
YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LICENSE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
