under normal use for a period set by the legislation of the country in which you purchased the SOFTWARE starting from the date of

purchase.

16.2. The SOFTWARE and any upgrades are being delivered to you “as is” and ABBYY makes no warranty of any kind. ABBYY does not

and cannot warrant the performance or results you may obtain by using the SOFTWARE. Except for any warranty, condition,

representation, or term to the extent to which the same cannot or may not be excluded or limited by law applicable to you in your

jurisdiction, ABBYY makes no warranties, conditions, representations, or terms (express or implied whether by statute, common law,

custom, usage or otherwise) as to any matter, including without limitation non–infringement of third party rights, merchantability,

integration, satisfactory quality, or fitness for any particular purpose, or that the SOFTWARE will carry no errors, meet your

requirements, or that the SOFTWARE will function properly when used in conjunction with any other software or hardware, and the

entire risk as to the quality and performance of the SOFTWARE lies with you.

16.3. ABBYY makes no warranties for any third party software products which may be supplied with or within the SOFTWARE.

16.4. Limited Warranty for Users Residing in Germany or Austria.

If you obtained your copy of the SOFTWARE in Germany or Austria, and you usually reside in such country, then, in accordance with

German law, ABBYY warrants that the SOFTWARE provides the functionalities set forth in its documentation (the “agreed upon

User`s Guide ABBYY Lingvo 12

functionalities”) for the limited warranty period following receipt of the SOFTWARE copy when used on the recommended hardware

configuration. As used in this article, “limited warranty period” means one (1) year if you are a business user or legal entity, and two (2)

years if you are not a business user. Non–substantial variation from the agreed upon functionalities shall not be considered and does

not establish any warranty rights. This limited warranty does not apply to the SOFTWARE provided to you free of charge, for example,

updates, pre–release versions, “Trial” versions, product samples, “Not for Resale” (“NFR”) copies of the SOFTWARE, or the SOFTWARE

that has been altered by you, to the extent such alterations caused a defect. To make a warranty claim, during the limited warranty

period, you must return, at ABBYY’s expense, the SOFTWARE and proof of purchase to the location where you obtained it. If the

functionalities of the SOFTWARE vary substantially from the agreed upon functionalities, ABBYY is entitled (by way of re–

performance and at its own discretion) to repair or replace the SOFTWARE. If this fails, you are entitled to a reduction of the purchase

price (reduction) or to cancel the purchase agreement (rescission). For further warranty information, please contact ABBYY’s

Customer Support Department in Germany: ABBYY Europe GmbH, Anglerstrasse 6, 80339, Munich, tel.: +49 (0)89 51 11 590, fax: +49

(0)89 51 11 5959.

17. Limitation of Liability

17.1. In no event will ABBYY be liable to you for any damages, business interruption, loss of data or information of any kind, business

or otherwise, claims or costs whatsoever, or any consequential, indirect, incidental damage, or any lost profits or lost savings resulting

from and/or relating to the use of the SOFTWARE, or damages caused by possible errors or misprints in the SOFTWARE, even if an

ABBYY representative has been advised of the possibility of such loss, damages, claims or costs, or for any claim by any third party. The

foregoing limitations and exclusions apply to the extent permitted by applicable law in your jurisdiction. ABBYY’s sole and aggregate

liability under or in connection with this EULA shall be limited to the purchase price originally paid for the SOFTWARE, if any. Nothing

contained in this EULA limits ABBYY’s liability to you in the event of death or personal injury resulting from ABBYY’s negligence or for

the tort of deceit (fraud). For further information, please see the jurisdiction–specific information in Section 19 of this EULA.
