a.  The Federal Arbitration Act applies these Terms.  Any dispute, controversy or claim between us, regardless of whether based on your subscription, the services, the balance on your account, your Product, any prior account you had with us, your application, these Terms, any prior agreement or any other facts, and regardless of whether the legal theory is based on these Terms, another common law theory, a statute or another ground (each, a “Claim”), will be settled by neutral arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”).  Claims within the applicable small claims limit in your jurisdiction may be brought in small claims court rather than arbitration.

 

b.  Forum Selection and Applicable Procedure.  Unless you and we agree otherwise, the arbitration will take place in the county of your billing address (provided such address is in the United States).  For Claims over $10,000 the AAA's Wireless Industry Arbitration ("WIA") rules will apply.  In large/complex cases under the WIA rules, the arbitrators must apply the Federal Rules of Evidence and a party may have the award reviewed by a panel of three new arbitrators.  For Claims of $10,000 or less, the complaining party can choose either the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes or individual action in small claims court.  You can obtain procedures, rules and fee information from the AAA (www.ADR.org) or from us.  Each of us may be required to exchange relevant evidence in advance.  For claims of $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, by telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing. To initiate arbitration under these Terms, contact the AAA, which will provide the necessary forms for you to submit.  In the case of a conflict between any arbitration rules and these Terms, these Terms govern.

 

c.  Arbitration Fees and Costs.  In any arbitration between us, you will be responsible for paying your share of the arbitration fees up to the amount of any filing fees you would have incurred if you had brought a claim in the state or federal court closest to your billing address, and we will pay the remainder of the fees.

 

d.  CLASS ACTION WAIVER.  YOU AND WE EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO BRING CLAIMS ON A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS BASIS,EVEN IF AAA OR WIA PROCEDURES OR RULES WOULDALLOW IT.  WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY OR COURT TRIAL.  The arbitrator may award monetary or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual Claim.  IF THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVERIS DEEMED UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE ENTIRE ARBITRATION PROVISIONSHALL BE DEEMED UNENFORCEABLE.  IN NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL CLASS CLAIMS BE BROUGHT OR ADJUDICATED IN ARBITRATION.

 

e. Claim Notices.  If you or we have a Claim against the other, before initiating, joining, or participating in any lawsuit, arbitration or other legal proceeding, the complaining party shall give the other party: (1) a written notice of the Claim (referred to below as a “Claim Notice”), explaining in reasonable detail the nature of the Claim and any supporting facts; and (2) a reasonable good faith opportunity (not less than 30 days) to resolve the claim without the necessity of a legal proceeding.  Any Claim Notice directed to FPF shall be sent to us at FPF, Inc., Registered Agents Inc. 700 Lavaca, STE 1401 Austin, Texas 78701 Travis County.   Any Claim Notice directed to you shall be sent to your address appearing in our records or, if you advise us that you are represented by counsel, to your attorney at your attorney’s office.  If you or we fail to comply with this Claim Notices provision before commencing a lawsuit, arbitration or other legal proceeding, that failure shall be a complete defense to all claims asserted in such proceeding.

 

f.  Use of Arbitration Award or Judgments in Subsequent Cases.   An arbitration award and any judgment confirming it only applies to the arbitration in which it was awarded and can’t be used in any other case except to enforce the award itself.

 

g. Cure Provision.  You and we intend for both of us to have the right to arbitrate disputes on an individual basis as set forth above.  If a court finds any reason to invalidate or refuse to enforce this arbitration provision, the party aggrieved by that decision shall have the right to take unilateral action to eliminate the basis for the court’s decision, such as by waiving any right or remedy it has under these Terms or agreeing to additional fee or cost shifting.  This cure right may be exercised during briefing of a motion to compel arbitration, during oral argument, or in a renewed motion to compel arbitration.  If a renewed motion is filed, you and we agree that the exercise of cure rights hereunder shall constitute new facts permitting such a renewed motion.

 

h. Applicable Law. Except to the extent we've agreed otherwise in the provisions on arbitration, or as required by Federal law, these Terms and all disputes between us (whether or not based on these Terms) are governed by the laws of the state of your residence, without regard to that state’s conflict of laws principles, provided, that, if you reside outside of the United States, then the laws of the State of Texas, without reference to its conflicts of laws principles, shall be the governing law.

f. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.

 

g. These Terms are not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with our prior written consent, but may be assigned or transferred by us without restriction. Any assignment attempted to be made in violation of these Terms shall be void.

B. The Service:

 

1. How the Service Works:

Since this is a wireless service, the quality of your signal and your ability to get the service may be affected by your location. We can't provide service when your Product isn't in range of a transmission site used to provide the service. You must be within our coverage area to use the service and to perform certain functions from your Product, such as initial activation of the service, deactivation, and service changes (to name a few). Even within our coverage area, there are many factors, including network capacity, limitations and restrictions of wireless carrier service providers, your Product type, terrain, your proximity to buildings, foliage and weather (to name a few) that may impact availability and quality of the service. You acknowledge and accept these limitations of the service. The service provides an approximate location of the requested Product and does not provide guaranteed results. The results you obtain from the service, including but not limited to directions, maps, and requested locations or messaging, may not be accurate, timely or reliable. We reserve the right to set limits on the use of the service at our discretion. We do not guarantee that any lost animal will be found and we do not provide any service for the purpose of searching and/or recovering your animal. THE PEPPYPETS PRODUCTS ARE ONLY INTENDED FOR TRACKING PETS. DO NOT USE FOR TRACKING CHILDREN OR OTHER HUMANS.

1. GENERAL ARBITRATION PROVISION:  The Federal Arbitration Act applies to this Contract.  Any dispute, controversy or claim between us, regardless of whether based on your subscription, the services, the balance on your account, your Product, any prior account you had with us, your application, this Contract, any prior agreement or any other facts, and regardless of whether the legal theory is based on this Contract, another common law theory, a statute or another ground (each, a “Claim”), will be settled by neutral arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), provided, however, that any Claim arising out of or related to the EULA will be governed by the provisions of the EULA.  Claims within the applicable small claims limit in your jurisdiction may be brought in small claims court rather than arbitration. 

 

2. FORUM SELECTION AND APPLICABLE PROCEDURE:  Unless you and we agree otherwise, the arbitration will take place in the county of your billing address (provided such address is in the United States).  For Claims over $10,000, the AAA’s Wireless Industry Arbitration (“WIA”) rules will apply.  In large/complex cases under the WIA rules, the arbitrators must apply the Federal Rules of Evidence and a party may have the award reviewed by a panel of three new arbitrators.  For Claims of $10,000 or less, the complaining party can choose either the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes or individual action in small claims court.  You can obtain procedures, rules and fee information from the AAA (www.ADR.org) or from us.  Each of us may be required to exchange relevant evidence in advance. For claims of $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, by telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing.  To initiate arbitration under this Contract, contact the AAA, which will provide the necessary forms for you to submit.  In the case of a conflict between any arbitration rules and this Contract, this Contract governs.

 

3. ARBITRATION FEES AND COSTS:  In any arbitration between us, you will be responsible for paying your share of the arbitration fees up to the amount of any filing fees you would have incurred if you had brought a claim in the state or federal court closest to your billing address, and we will pay the remainder of the fees.

 

4. CLASS ACTION WAIVER:  YOU AND WE EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO BRING CLAIMS ON A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS BASIS, EVEN IF AAA OR WIA PROCEDURES OR RULES WOULD ALLOW IT. WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY OR COURT TRIAL.  The arbitrator may award monetary or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual Claim.  IF THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS DEEMED UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE ENTIRE ARBITRATION PROVISION SHALL BE DEEMED UNENFORCEABLE.  IN NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL CLASS CLAIMS BE BROUGHT OR ADJUDICATED IN ARBITRATION.

 

5. CLAIM NOTICES:  If you or we have a Claim against the other, before initiating, joining, or participating in any lawsuit, arbitration or other legal proceeding, the complaining party shall give the other party: (1) a written notice of the Claim (referred to below as a “Claim Notice”), explaining in reasonable detail the nature of the Claim and any supporting facts; and (2) a reasonable good faith opportunity (not less than 30 days) to resolve the claim without the necessity of a legal proceeding.  Any Claim Notice directed to FPF shall be sent to us at FPF, Registered Agents Inc. 700 Lavaca, STE 1401 Austin, Texas 78701 Travis County.  Any Claim Notice directed to you shall be sent to your address appearing in our records or, if you advise us that you are represented by counsel, to your attorney at your attorney’s office.  If you or we fail to comply with this Claim Notices provision before commencing a lawsuit, arbitration or other legal proceeding, that failure shall be a complete defense to all claims asserted in such proceeding.

 

6. USE OF ARBITRATION AWARD OR JUDGMENTS IN SUBSEQUENT CASES:  An arbitration award and any judgment confirming it only applies to the arbitration in which it was awarded and can’t be used in any other case except to enforce the award itself.

 

7. CURE PROVISION:  You and we intend for both of us to have the right to arbitrate disputes on an individual basis as set forth above.  If a court finds any reason to invalidate or refuse to enforce this arbitration provision, the party aggrieved by that decision shall have the right to take unilateral action to eliminate the basis for the court’s decision, such as by waiving any right or remedy it has under this Contract or agreeing to additional fee or cost shifting.  This cure right may be exercised during briefing of a motion to compel arbitration, during oral argument, or in a renewed motion to compel arbitration.  If a renewed motion is filed, you and we agree that the exercise of cure rights hereunder shall constitute new facts permitting such a renewed motion.

PEPPYPETS PRODUCT WARRANTY

STANDARD LIMITED WARRANTY INFORMATION

FPF, Inc. ("FPF") ONE (1) YEAR Limited Product Warranty (the "Limited Product Warranty")

 

SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION MAY LAST, SO THE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS DESCRIBED BELOW MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU TO THE EXTENT THEY ARE INCONSISTENT WITH YOUR STATE'S APPLICABLE LAW. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS UNDER STATE LAW.

FPF' warranty obligations for this hardware product are limited to the terms set forth below: FPF warrants that this hardware product, if not modified and when used properly and in accordance with the product documentation, will be free from a reproducible defect that eliminates the functionality or successful operation of a feature critical to the primary functionality or successful operation of the product for a period of ONE (1) YEAR from the earlier of: the date of (i) retail purchase by the original end-user purchaser (as evidenced by proof of purchase), or (ii) first use of the product ("Warranty Period"). Whether a defect occurs will be determined solely with reference to the published product documentation. If a hardware defect arises and a valid claim is received by FPF within the Warranty Period, FPF will, at its sole and exclusive option and to the extent permitted by law, either (1) repair the product at no charge, using new parts or reconditioned parts equivalent to new in performance and reliability, (2) exchange the product with a product that is new or equivalent to new in performance and reliability and is at least functionally equivalent to the original product, or (3) refund the purchase price of the product (but not the purchase price of the FPF service(s) included with the product), provided that you return the product to FPF as provided below. FPF may request that you replace defective parts with new or refurbished user-installable parts that FPF provides in fulfillment of its warranty obligation. A replacement product or part, including a user-installable part that has been installed in accordance with instructions provided by FPF, assumes the remaining warranty of the original product or ninety (90) days from the date of replacement or repair, whichever provides longer coverage for you. When a product or part is exchanged, any replacement item becomes your property and the replaced item becomes FPF' property. Parts provided by FPF in fulfillment of its warranty obligation must be used in products for which warranty service is claimed. When a refund is given, FPF may require that the product for which the refund is provided returned to FPF, at which time it shall become FPF' property.

 

EXCLUSION AND LIMITATIONS

This Limited Warranty applies only to the hardware product manufactured by or for FPF that can be identified by the "Peppypets" trademark, trade name, or logo annexed to it, provided however, the Limited Warranty does not include accessories even if identified by the "Peppypets" trademark, trade name or logo. Further the Limited Warranty does not apply to any non-FPF hardware product or any software, even if packaged or sold with the FPF hardware. Manufacturers, suppliers, or third parties other than FPF may provide their own warranties, but FPF, to the extent permitted by law, provides its products "AS IS".

Refer to the End User License Agreement (EULA) at www.Peppypets.com or other licensing agreement accompanying the software for details of your rights and obligations with respect to the use of such software. FPF does not warrant that the operation of the product will be uninterrupted or error-free. FPF is not responsible for damage arising from any failure to follow instructions relating to the product's use. Transfer or resale of the hardware product will automatically terminate warranty coverage with respect to such product. This Limited Warranty is not transferable to any third party, including but not limited to any subsequent purchaser, owner or user of the product.

This Limited Warranty does not apply: (a) if damage or defects are caused by customer abuse, accident, neglect, improper handling, utilization or installation, or by failing to operate the product in compliance with the user manual, quick start guide or other user guides; (b) to consumable parts, such as batteries, unless damage has occurred due to a defect in materials and workmanship; (c) if damage or defects are caused by the battery being tampered with to cause a short-circuit, or if the seals of the battery enclosure or the cells are broken or show evidence of tampering; (d) if damage or defects are caused by a defective function of the wireless network or if the product software needs to be upgraded due to changes in wireless network parameters; (e) to cosmetic damage, including but not limited to scratches, dents, broken plastic on parts or any physical damage to the surface of the product; (f) if damage or defects are caused by rough handling or other physical moisture damage or extreme thermal or environmental conditions or a rapid change in such conditions, corrosion, oxidation, unauthorized modifications or connections, unauthorized opening or repair, repair by use of unauthorized spare parts, accidents, forces of nature, or other actions beyond the reasonable control of FPF; (g) in the case of the docking station and other components other than the tracking device, if damage or defects are caused by exposure to moisture or dampness; (h) if damage or defects are caused by the product being used with or connected to an accessory not approved or certified by FPF; (i) if damage or defects are caused by accident, abuse, misuse, flood, fire, earthquake or other external causes; (j) if damage or defects are caused by operating the product outside of the permitted or intended uses described by FPF; (k) if damage or defects are caused by service (including upgrades and expansions) performed by anyone who is not a representative of FPF or a FPF authorized retailer or service provider; (l) if a product or part has been modified to alter functionality or capability without the written permission of FPF; (m) if any serial number has been removed or defaced, (n) to a recalled product, part or component, if a replacement product, part or component was made available by FPF, (o) to freight costs to ship product to the repair depot; or (p) to commercial use of the product.

Important: Do not open the hardware product itself. Opening the hardware product may cause damage that is not covered by this Limited Warranty. Only FPF or a FPF authorized service provider should perform service on this hardware product.

FPF, IT'S MANUFACTURERS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, LICENSORS AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES IN ANY WAY RELATED TO OR ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT (REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION), THE SALE OR USE OF THE PRODUCTS, EQUIPMENT OR SOFTWARE, OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES BY FPF PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE BREACH OF WARRANTY OR CONDITION, OR UNDER ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INCONVENIENCE, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF TIME, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF ACTUAL OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS (INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS ON CONTRACTS), LOSS OF THE USE OF MONEY, LOSS OF ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF OPPORTUNITY, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF REPUTATION, LOSS OF, DAMAGE TO OR CORRUPTION OF DATA, OR ANY INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGE HOWEVER CAUSED, INCLUDING THE REPLACEMENT OF EQUIPMENT AND PROPERTY, ANY COSTS OF RECOVERING, PROGRAMMING OR REPRODUCING ANY PROGRAM OR DATA STORED IN OR USED WITH THE PRODUCT, AND ANY FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF DATA STORED ON THE PRODUCT.

YOU HEREBY RELEASE FPF, IT'S MANUFACTURERS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, LICENSORS AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, FROM ANY AND ALL OBLIGATIONS, LIABILITIES, AND CLAIMS IN EXCESS OF THIS LIMITATION. FPF IS ALSO NOT LIABLE FOR ANY COSTS OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE FOREGOING LIMITATION SHALL NOT APPLY TO DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS, OR ANY STATUTORY LIABILITY FOR INTENTIONAL AND GROSS NEGLIGENT ACTS AND/OR OMISSIONS. FPF, IT'S MANUFACTURERS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, LICENSORS AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, DISCLAIM ANY REPRESENTATION THAT IT WILL BE ABLE TO REPAIR ANY PRODUCT UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR MAKE A PRODUCT EXCHANGE WITHOUT RISK TO OR LOSS OF PROGRAMS OR DATA.

THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT.

However, the parties intend for this limitations of liability provision to apply to the maximum extent allowed under applicable law. This limitation of liability provision survives the expiration or termination of the Agreement and applies notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Limited Warranty.

 

OBTAINING WARRANTY SERVICE

Please access and review the online help resources referred to in the documentation accompanying this hardware product before seeking warranty service. If the product is still not functioning properly after making use of these resources, access the online website www.Peppypets.com for instructions on how to obtain warranty service. You must follow FPF' warranty process. FPF may provide warranty service (i) at a FPF authorized retailer or service provider location, where service is performed at the location, or the FPF authorized retailer or service provider may send the product to a FPF repair service location for service, (ii) by sending you prepaid way bills (and if you no longer have the original packaging, FPF may send you packaging material) to enable you to ship the product to FPF' repair service location for service, or (iii) by sending you new or refurbished customer-installable replacement product or parts to enable you to service or exchange your own product ("DIY Service"). Upon receipt of the replacement product or part, the original product or part becomes the property of FPF and you agree to follow instructions, including, if required, arranging the return of original product or part to FPF in a timely manner.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, Apple hereby grants You, effective on the date You accept this License and download the Original Code, a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license, to the extent of Apple's Applicable Patent Rights and copyrights covering the Original Code, to do the following:

2.1  Unmodified Code.  You may use, reproduce, display, perform, internally distribute within Your organization, and Externally Deploy verbatim, unmodified copies of the Original Code, for commercial or non-commercial purposes, provided that in each instance:

(a) You must retain and reproduce in all copies of Original Code the copyright and other proprietary notices and disclaimers of Apple as they appear in the Original Code, and keep intact all notices in the Original Code that refer to this License; and

(a) You must satisfy all the conditions of Section 2.1 with respect to the Source Code of the Covered Code;

(b) You must duplicate, to the extent it does not already exist, the notice in Exhibit A in each file of the Source Code of all Your Modifications, and cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that You changed the files and the date of any change; and

You should preferably distribute the Source Code of Your Externally Deployed Modifications electronically (e.g. download from a web site).

2.3 Distribution of Executable Versions. 

In addition, if You Externally Deploy Covered Code (Original Code and/or Modifications) in object code, executable form only, You must include a prominent notice, in the code itself as well as in related documentation, stating that Source Code of the Covered Code is available under the terms of this License with information on how and where to obtain such Source Code.

2.4 Third Party Rights.  You expressly acknowledge and agree that although Apple and each Contributor grants the licenses to their respective portions of the Covered Code set forth herein, no assurances are provided by Apple or any Contributor that the Covered Code does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity. Apple and each Contributor disclaim any liability to You for claims brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, You hereby assume sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For example, if a third party patent license is required to allow You to distribute the Covered Code, it is Your responsibility to acquire that license before distributing the Covered Code.

 

3. Your Grants. 

In consideration of, and as a condition to, the licenses granted to You under this License, You hereby grant to any person or entity receiving or distributing Covered Code under this License a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable license, under Your Applicable Patent Rights and other intellectual property rights (other than patent) owned or controlled by You, to use, reproduce, display, perform, modify, sublicense, distribute and Externally Deploy Your Modifications of the same scope and extent as Apple's licenses under Sections 2.1 and 2.2 above.

 

4. Larger Works.

5. Limitations on Patent License.  

Except as expressly stated in Section 2, no other patent rights, express or implied, are granted by Apple herein.  Modifications and/or Larger Works may require additional patent licenses from Apple which Apple may grant in its sole discretion.

 

6. Additional Terms. 

You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations and/or other rights consistent with the scope of the license granted herein ("Additional Terms") to one or more recipients of Covered Code. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf and as Your sole responsibility, and not on behalf of Apple or any Contributor. You must obtain the recipient's agreement that any such Additional Terms are offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold Apple and every Contributor harmless for any liability incurred by or claims asserted against Apple or such Contributor by reason of any such Additional Terms.

 

7. Versions of the License. 

Apple may publish revised and/or new versions of this License from time to time.  Each version will be given a distinguishing version number.  Once Original Code has been published under a particular version of this License, You may continue to use it under the terms of that version. You may also choose to use such Original Code under the terms of any subsequent version of this License published by Apple.  No one other than Apple has the right to modify the terms applicable to Covered Code created under this License.

 

8. NO WARRANTY OR SUPPORT. 

The Covered Code may contain in whole or in part pre-release, untested, or not fully tested works.  The Covered Code may contain errors that could cause failures or loss of data, and may be incomplete or contain inaccuracies.  You expressly acknowledge and agree that use of the Covered Code, or any portion thereof, is at Your sole and entire risk.  THE COVERED CODE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTY, UPGRADES OR SUPPORT OF ANY KIND AND APPLE AND APPLE'S LICENSOR(S) (COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS "APPLE" FOR THE PURPOSES OF SECTIONS 8 AND 9) AND ALL CONTRIBUTORS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OF ACCURACY, OF QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS.  APPLE AND EACH CONTRIBUTOR DOES NOT WARRANT AGAINST INTERFERENCE WITH YOUR ENJOYMENT OF THE COVERED CODE, THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE COVERED CODE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, THAT THE OPERATION OF THE COVERED CODE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS IN THE COVERED CODE WILL BE CORRECTED.  NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY APPLE, AN APPLE AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OR ANY CONTRIBUTOR SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY.  You acknowledge that the Covered Code is not intended for use in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation, communication systems, or air traffic control machines in which case the failure of the Covered Code could lead to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage.

 

9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL APPLE OR ANY CONTRIBUTOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LICENSE OR YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE COVERED CODE, OR ANY PORTION THEREOF, WHETHER UNDER A THEORY OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCTS LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF APPLE OR SUCH CONTRIBUTOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY REMEDY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. In no event shall Apple's total liability to You for all damages (other than as may be required by applicable law) under this License exceed the amount of fifty dollars ($50.00).

 

10. Trademarks. 

This License does not grant any rights to use the trademarks or trade names  "Apple", "Mac", "Mac OS", "QuickTime", "QuickTime Streaming Server" or any other trademarks, service marks, logos or trade names belonging to Apple (collectively "Apple Marks") or to any trademark, service mark, logo or trade name belonging to any Contributor.  You agree not to use any Apple Marks in or as part of the name of products derived from the Original Code or to endorse or promote products derived from the Original Code other than as expressly permitted by and in strict compliance at all times with Apple's third party trademark usage guidelines which are posted at http://www.apple.com/legal/guidelinesfor3rdparties.html.

Subject to the licenses granted under this License, each Contributor retains all rights, title and interest in and to any Modifications made by such Contributor.  Apple retains all rights, title and interest in and to the Original Code and any Modifications made by or on behalf of Apple ("Apple Modifications"), and such Apple Modifications will not be automatically subject to this License.  Apple may, at its sole discretion, choose to license such Apple Modifications under this License, or on different terms from those contained in this License or may choose not to license them at all.

 

12. Termination. 

12.1 Termination.  This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate:

12.2 Effect of Termination.  Upon termination, You agree to immediately stop any further use, reproduction, modification, sublicensing and distribution of the Covered Code.  All sublicenses to the Covered Code which have been properly granted prior to termination shall survive any termination of this License.  Provisions which, by their nature, should remain in effect beyond the termination of this License shall survive, including but not limited to Sections 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.2 and 13.  No party will be liable to any other for compensation, indemnity or damages of any sort solely as a result of terminating this License in accordance with its terms, and termination of this License will be without prejudice to any other right or remedy of any party.

13.4 Waiver; Construction.  Failure by Apple or any Contributor to enforce any provision of this License will not be deemed a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision.  Any law or regulation which provides that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter will not apply to this License.
