revenue-generating broadcast systems
(terrestrial, satellite, cable and/or
other distribution channels), streaming
applications (via Internet, intranets
and/or other networks), other content
distribution systems (pay-audio or

for sale. Title, ownership rights and
intellectual property rights in and to
the Software (including any images,
animations, video, audio, music, and
text incorporated into the Software or
such content contained in files
accompanying the Software),
accompanying printed materials, and any
copies you are permitted to make herein
are owned by RealNetworks or its
suppliers and are protected by United
States copyright law and international
treaty provisions. Your rights to use
the Software are specified in this
License Agreement, and RealNetworks
retains all rights not expressly
granted to you in this License
Agreement. Nothing in this License
Agreement constitutes a waiver of
RealNetworks' rights under U.S. or
international copyright law or any
other federal or state law.
4. BETA RELEASE or EVALUATION
VERSIONS. In the event that the
Software is a beta, pre-release,
evaluation version or preview version,
the terms of this Section shall apply.
Your license to use the Software
expires 120 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 more or less
features than the commercial release of
the RN Product that RN intends to
distribute. While RN intends 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 beta
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. HTTP STREAMING/TRADEMARK USAGE.
This License Agreement also permits you
to stream multimedia content encoded
into one or more RN proprietary formats
from an HTTP web server. If you do so,
you agree to notify web page visitors,
in a conspicuous manner, which publicly
available files are in a proprietary RN
format (e.g., RealAudio (.ra) or
RealVideo (.rm). Further, if you
stream content from an HTTP web server,
RN hereby grants you a non-exclusive,
limited license to use, and you agree
that you shall always use, RN’s
trademarks in accordance with RN’s
Trademark and Logo Usage Policy at
http://www.realnetworks.com/company/
logos/policy.html, and for the sole
purpose of informing web page visitors
that content is in an RN proprietary
format. You agree that you shall not
use any RN trademark in a way that may
imply that you are an agency or branch
of RN, or that RN endorses, is
affiliated with, or sponsors you or
your products. You also agree that you
may not link directly to any media file
or .ram file made available from the RN
World Wide Website.
6. SOFTWARE UPGRADES. RN may
develop or issue upgraded versions of
the Software from time to time. At its
sole option, and for a fee to be
determined, RN may make such upgrades
available to you. If the Software you
have is labeled as an upgrade, you must
be properly licensed to use a product
identified by RN as being eligible for
the upgrade in order to use the
Software. Software labeled as an
upgrade replaces and/or supplements the
product that formed the basis for your
eligibility for the upgrade, and
following the upgrade you may use the
resulting Software only in accordance
with the terms of this License
Agreement. If the Software is an
upgrade of a component of a package of
software programs that you licensed as
a single product, the Software may be
used and transferred only as part of
that single product package and may not
be separated for use on more than one
computer.
7. WARRANTIES AND LIABILITIES.
a) LIMITED WARRANTY. RN warrants that
for a period of ninety (90) days from

of the Software will be uninterrupted
or that the operation of the Software
will be error-free or secure. RN also

MATERIALS AND ANY ACCOMPANYING
HARDWARE. If any modifications are
made to the Software by you during the
warranty period; if the media is
subjected to accident abuse or improper
use; or if you violate the terms of
this License Agreement, this warranty
shall immediately terminate. This
warranty shall not apply if the
Software is used on or in conjunction
with hardware or Software other than
the unmodified version of hardware and
Software with which the Software was
designed to be used as described in the
Documentation. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY
GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS; YOU
MAY HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM
STATE/JURISDICTION TO
STATE/JURISDICTION.
c) CUSTOMER REMEDIES. RN’s sole
liability for a breach of this warranty
shall be in RN’s sole discretion: (i)
to replace your defective media; or

Documentation through a procedure
different from that set forth in the
Documentation; or (iii) if the above

the Software. Repaired, corrected or
replaced Software and Documentation

warranty for the period remaining under
the warranty that covered the original
Software or if longer for thirty (30)
days after the date RN either shipped
to you the repaired or replaced

operate the Software so as to achieve
the functionality described in the

with the Software during the applicable
warranty period and provide evidence of
the date you acquired the Software will
RN be obligated to honor this warranty.

CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY

CHARACTER INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION
DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK
STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR

COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES EVEN IF RN
SHALL HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR FOR ANY
CLAIM BY ANY OTHER PARTY. FURTHER, IN
NO EVENT SHALL RN’S LIABILITY UNDER ANY
PROVISION OF THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT
EXCEED THE LICENSE FEE PAID TO RN FOR
THE SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION.
BECAUSE SOME STATES/JURISDICTIONS DO
NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION
OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR
