6. RibbonSoft grants Licensee a nonexclusive, royalty-free right to
reproduce and distribute the object code form of certain portions of the

Section 1, for execution on any operating system. Copies of 
Redistributables may only be distributed with and for the sole purpose

and its suppliers, harmless from and against any claims or liabilities 
arising out of the use, reproduction or distribution of Applications; 
(ii) Applications must be developed using a licensed, registered copy

RibbonSoft's or any of its suppliers' names, logos, or trademarks to 
market Application(s), except to state that Application was developed

with RibbonSoft's requirements and license such Application(s) 
(or any portions derived there from) under the terms of the Free Software

either express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied
warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title
and non-infringement with regard to the Licensed Software.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
9. If, RibbonSoft's warranty disclaimer notwithstanding, RibbonSoft is

theory, based on the Licensed Software, RibbonSoft's entire liability
to Licensee and Licensee's exclusive remedy shall be, at RibbonSoft's
option, either (A) return of the price Licensee paid for the Licensed
Software, or (B) repair or replacement of the Licensed Software,
provided Licensee returns to RibbonSoft all copies of the Licensed
Software as originally delivered to Licensee. RibbonSoft shall not
under any circumstances be liable to Licensee based on failure of the
Licensed Software if the failure resulted from accident, abuse or
misapplication, nor shall RibbonSoft under any circumstances be liable
for special damages, punitive or exemplary damages, damages for loss
of profits or interruption of business or for loss or corruption of
data. Any award of damages from RibbonSoft to Licensee shall not exceed
the total amount Licensee has paid to RibbonSoft in connection with
this Agreement.

the Licensed Software for a period not to exceed one year from the 
date of initial delivery ("Initial Term"), in accordance with 
RibbonSoft's then current policies and procedures, if any. Such 
policies and procedures may be changed from time to time. Following 
the Initial Term, RibbonSoft will no longer make the Licensed Software 
available to Licensee unless Licensee purchases additional Updates

Agreement to any third party who acquires substantially all of
RibbonSoft copyrights in and to the Licensed Software.

14. Termination: RibbonSoft may terminate the Agreement at any time

Software, or infringes RibbonSoft's intellectual property in or to the
Licensed Software. Upon termination of the Licenses, Licensee shall
return to RibbonSoft all copies of Licensed Software that were supplied
by RibbonSoft. All other copies of Licensed Software in the possession
or control of Licensee must be erased or destroyed. An officer of
Licensee must promptly deliver to RibbonSoft a written confirmation

agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior or
contemporaneous discussions, representations, and proposals, written
or oral, with respect to the subject matters discussed herein. No
modification of this Agreement will be effective unless contained in a
writing executed by an authorized representative of each party. No
term or condition contained in Licensee's purchase order will apply
unless expressly accepted by RibbonSoft in writing. If any provision of
the Agreement is found void or unenforceable, the remainder will
remain valid and enforceable according to its terms. If any remedy
provided is determined to have failed for its essential purpose, all
limitations of liability and exclusions of damages set forth in this
Agreement shall remain in effect.
