- Redistribution Or Rental Not Permitted
-
- These terms apply to Netscape Communicator and Netscape Navigator
-
- BY CLICKING THE ACCEPTANCE BUTTON OR INSTALLING OR USING THE
- NETSCAPE COMMUNICATOR OR NETSCAPE NAVIGATOR SOFTWARE (THE
- "PRODUCT"), YOU ARE CONSENTING TO BE BOUND BY AND BECOME A
- PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT AS THE "LICENSEE."
-
- IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT,
- YOU MUST SELECT THE BUTTON INDICATING NON-ACCEPTANCE, YOU MUST
- NOT INSTALL OR USE THE PRODUCT, AND YOU DO NOT BECOME A LICENSEE
- UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
-
- 1. LICENSE AGREEMENT. As used in this Agreement, for residents of
- Europe, the Middle East or Africa, "Netscape" shall mean Netscape
- Communications Ireland Limited; for residents of Japan, "Netscape" shall
- mean Netscape Communications (Japan), Ltd.; for residents of all other
- countries, "Netscape" shall mean Netscape Communications Corporation.
- In this Agreement "Licensor" shall mean Netscape except under the
- following circumstances: (i) if Licensee acquired the Product as a bundled
- component of a third party product or service, then such third party shall
- be Licensor; and (ii) if any third party software is included as part of the
- Product installation and no license is presented for acceptance the first
- time that third party software is invoked, then the use of that third party
- software shall be governed by this Agreement, but the term "Licensor,"
- with respect to such third party software, shall mean the manufacturer of
- that software and not Netscape. With the exception of the situation described
- in (ii) above, the use of any included third party software product shall be
- governed by the third party's license agreement and not by this Agreement,
- whether that license agreement is presented for acceptance the first time
- that the third party software is invoked, is included in a file in electronic
- form, or is included in the package in printed form. If more than one license
- agreement was provided for the Product, and the terms vary, the order of
- precedence of those license agreements is as follows: a signed agreement, a
- license agreement available for review on the Netscape website, a printed or
- electronic agreement that states clearly that it supersedes other agreements,
- a printed agreement provided with the Product, an electronic agreement
- provided with the Product.
-
- 2. LICENSE GRANT. Licensor grants Licensee a non-exclusive and
- non-transferable license to reproduce and use for personal or internal
- business purposes the executable code version of the Product, provided any
- copy must contain all of the original proprietary notices. This license does not
- entitle Licensee to receive from Netscape hard-copy documentation, technical
- support, telephone assistance, or enhancements or updates to the Product.
-
- 3. RESTRICTIONS. Except as otherwise expressly permitted in this
- Agreement, or in another Netscape agreement to which Licensee is a party such
- as the Netscape Client Customization Kit License Agreement ("CCK License
- Agreement"), the Netscape Mission Control Desktop License Agreement ("MCD
- License Agreement") or a distribution agreement, such as the Netscape
- Browser Distribution Program License Agreement, Licensee may not: (i)
- modify or create any derivative works of the Product or documentation,
- including customization, translation or localization; (ii) decompile,
- disassemble, reverse engineer, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code
- for the Product (except to the extent applicable laws specifically prohibit
- such restriction); (iii) redistribute, encumber, sell, rent, lease, sublicense,
- or otherwise transfer rights to the Product; (iv) remove or alter any
- trademark, logo, copyright or other proprietary notices, legends, symbols or
- labels in the Product; or (v) publish any results of benchmark tests run on
- the Product to a third party without Netscape's prior written consent.
- Licensee may only modify or customize the Product to the extent permitted in
- the CCK or MCD License Agreement, as applicable.
-

- receive the Product on media, there may be a small charge for the media and
- for shipping and handling. Licensee is responsible for any and all taxes.
-

- terminate this Agreement if Licensee breaches any of its terms and conditions.
- Upon termination, Licensee shall destroy all copies of the Product.
-

- property rights in the Product shall remain in Netscape and/or its suppliers.
- Licensee acknowledges such ownership and intellectual property rights and
- will not take any action to jeopardize, limit or interfere in any manner with
- Netscape's or its suppliers' ownership of or rights with respect to the
- Product. The Product is protected by copyright and other intellectual property
- laws and by international treaties. Title and related rights in the content
- accessed through the Product are the property of the applicable content owner
- and are protected by applicable law. The license granted under this Agreement
- gives Licensee no rights in or to such content.
-
- 7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. THE PRODUCT IS PROVIDED FREE OF
- CHARGE, AND, THEREFORE, ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF
- ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE
- WARRANTIES THAT IT IS FREE OF DEFECTS, VIRUS FREE, ABLE TO OPERATE
- ON AN UNINTERRUPTED BASIS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR
- PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
- PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCT IS BORNE BY LICENSEE. SHOULD THE
- PRODUCT PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, LICENSEE AND NOT LICENSOR
- OR ITS AFFILIATES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SUPPLIERS OR RESELLERS
- ASSUMES THE ENTIRE COST OF ANY SERVICE AND REPAIR. IN ADDITION, THE
- SECURITY MECHANISMS IMPLEMENTED BY THE PRODUCT HAVE INHERENT
- LIMITATIONS, AND LICENSEE MUST DETERMINE THAT THE PRODUCT
- SUFFICIENTLY MEETS ITS REQUIREMENTS. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY
- CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT. NO USE OF THE
- PRODUCT IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
-
- 8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY
- APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR OR ITS AFFILIATES OR THEIR
- RESPECTIVE SUPPLIERS OR RESELLERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT,
- SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE
- OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
- DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE,
- COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL
- DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF, AND
- REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY (CONTRACT, TORT OR
- OTHERWISE) UPON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED. IN ANY CASE, LICENSOR'S
- AND ITS AFFILIATES' ENTIRE COLLECTIVE LIABILITY UNDER ANY PROVISION OF
- THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED IN THE AGGREGATE THE SUM OF THE
- FEES LICENSEE PAID FOR THIS LICENSE (IF ANY) AND FEES FOR SUPPORT OF
- THE PRODUCT RECEIVED BY LICENSOR UNDER A SEPARATE SUPPORT
- AGREEMENT (IF ANY) AND REPLACEMENT OF DEFECTIVE MEDIA OR PROVISION
- OF A REASONABLY SIMILAR PRODUCT, AS DETERMINED AT NETSCAPE'S SOLE
- DISCRETION (THE REPLACEMENT PRODUCT MAY NOT PERFORM ALL OF THE
- FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS OF THE ORIGINAL PRODUCT), WITH THE
- EXCEPTION OF LIABILITY RESULTING FROM DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY
- CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF LICENSOR, TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW
- PROHIBITS THE LIMITATION OF DAMAGES IN SUCH CASES. SOME
- JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF
- INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS EXCLUSION AND
- LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. NETSCAPE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR
- ANY LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF CONTENT PROVIDED BY LICENSEE OR A THIRD
- PARTY THAT IS ACCESSED THROUGH THE PRODUCT AND/OR ANY MATERIAL
- LINKED THROUGH SUCH CONTENT.
-
- 9. DIGITAL CERTIFICATES. The Product supports certain cryptographic
- and authentication features, including but not limited to Secure Sockets Layer
- communications, that may require the installation and/or use of a digital
- certificate. Digital certificates are issued, validated, and revoked by
- third-party certification authorities ("CAs") over which Netscape has no
- control. Licensee is solely responsible for familiarizing itself with the terms
- and conditions established by a CA for the use of, or reliance upon, its digital
- certificates, including but not limited to any obligation of Licensee to validate a
- digital certificate, maintain the security of a cryptographic key or password,
- or pay fees for certification services. Netscape has preloaded digital
- certificates of certain CAs into the Product in order to facilitate the
- recognition of digital certificates that such CAs have issued to persons,
- organizations, or devices (including software code). LICENSEE IS SOLELY
- RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DECISION TO USE OR RELY UPON A DIGITAL
- CERTIFICATE, INCLUDING THOSE DIGITAL CERTIFICATES THAT NETSCAPE HAS
- PRELOADED INTO THE PRODUCT. NETSCAPE BEARS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR
- THE VALIDITY OR ACCURACY OF ANY DIGITAL CERTIFICATE, OR FOR THE
- SECURITY OR INTEGRITY OF ANY TRANSACTION OR COMMUNICATION
- AUTHENTICATED BY A DIGITAL CERTIFICATE.
-
- 10. EXPORT / IMPORT. Licensee agrees to comply with all export and
- import laws and restrictions and regulations of the United States and foreign
- countries, and not to export, re-export or import the Product or any direct
- product thereof in violation of any such restrictions, laws or regulations, or

- systems, in which the failure of the Product could lead directly to death,
- personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage ("High Risk
- Activities"). Accordingly, Licensor and its suppliers specifically disclaim any
