ADOBE
SYSTEMS INCORPORATED
ELECTRONIC END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR ADOBE ACROBAT READER
NOTICE TO USER:
THIS IS A CONTRACT. BY INSTALLING THIS SOFTWARE, YOU ACCEPT
ALL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
This Adobe Systems Incorporated ("Adobe") End User License
Agreement accompanies the Adobe® Acrobat® Reader product and related explanatory
materials ("Software"). The term "Software" also shall include any
upgrades, modified versions, or updates of the Software licensed to you by Adobe. Please
read this Agreement carefully. At the end, you will be asked to accept this Agreement and
continue to install or, if you do not wish to accept this Agreement, to decline this
Agreement, in which case you will not be able to use the Software.
Upon your acceptance of this Agreement, Adobe grants to you a
nonexclusive license to use the Software, provided that you agree to the following:
1. Use of the Software.
You may install the Software on a hard disk or other storage device;
install and use the Software on a file server for use on a network for the purposes of (i)
permanent installation onto hard disks or other storage devices or (ii) use of the
Software over such network; and make backup copies of the Software.
You may make and distribute unlimited copies of the Software,
including copies for commercial distribution, as long as each copy that you make and
distribute contains this Agreement, the Acrobat Reader installer, and the same copyright
and other proprietary notices pertaining to this Software that appear in the Software. If
you download the Software from the Internet or similar online source, you must include the
Adobe copyright notice for the Software with any online distribution and on any media you
distribute that includes the Software.
2. Copyright and Trademark Rights.
The Software is owned by Adobe and its suppliers, and its structure,
organization, and code are the valuable trade secrets of Adobe and its suppliers. The
Software also is protected by United States Copyright Law and International Treaty
provisions. You may use trademarks only insofar as required to comply with Section 1 of
this Agreement and to identify printed output produced by the Software, in accordance with
accepted trademark practice, including identification of trademark owner's name. Such use
of any trademark does not give you any rights of ownership in that trademark. Except as
stated above, this Agreement does not grant you any intellectual property rights in the
Software.
3. Restrictions.
You agree not to modify, adapt, translate, reverse engineer,
decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code of the Software.
Although you may customize the installer for the Software as documented on the Adobe
Acrobat Reader CD-ROM (e.g., installation of additional plug-in and help files), you may
not alter or modify in any way the installer program or create a new installer for the
Software. The Software is licensed and distributed by Adobe for viewing, distributing, and
sharing PDF files. Any plug-in or enhancement that permits you to save modifications to a
PDF file is authorized only for use with the Acrobat Exchange® program and may not be
used with the Software.
4. No Warranty.
The Software is being delivered to you AS IS, and Adobe makes no
warranty as to its use or performance. ADOBE AND ITS SUPPLIERS DO NOT AND CANNOT WARRANT
THE PERFORMANCE OR RESULTS YOU MAY OBTAIN BY USING THE SOFTWARE OR DOCUMENTATION. ADOBE
AND ITS SUPPLIERS MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO NONINFRINGEMENT OF
THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT
WILL ADOBE OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR SPECIAL
DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY LOST PROFITS OR LOST SAVINGS, EVEN IF AN ADOBE REPRESENTATIVE HAS
BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY CLAIM BY ANY THIRD PARTY. Some
states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental,
consequential, or special damages, or the exclusion of implied warranties or limitations
on how long an implied warranty may last, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
5. Governing Law and General Provisions.
This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of
California, USA, excluding the application of its conflicts of law rules. This Agreement
will not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International
Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded. If any part of this
Agreement is found void and unenforceable, it will not affect the validity of the balance
of the Agreement, which shall remain valid and enforceable according to its terms. 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. This Agreement shall automatically terminate
upon failure by you to comply with its terms. This Agreement may only be modified in
writing signed by an authorized officer of Adobe.
