3. PRIVACY.

(a) FEEDBACK.

The Browser has the ability to gather certain information concerning your computer system but it will only send this information to Maxthon if you chose to send it by clicking on the Report to Author tab under Help. If you choose to provide feedback to us, this data will be sent to the MxNitro Browser team who will use the information for such purposes as diagnosing performance issues with the Browser, improving the reliability of the download and install process, and improving its products and services to users generally. This feedback information from the Browser will only be tied to your email address should you choose to provide it and will not be tied to any other information that would identify you personally. Information regarding websites you have visited or added to your Bookmarks list is stored by the Browser locally on your hard drive for your convenience. The Browser does not provide Maxthon with information about your Internet navigation history.

(b) PERSONALIZATION.

During the installation process, or at some time thereafter, you may be asked to provide certain information that Maxthon will use to personalize content presented to you through the Browser. For example, you may be asked for your zip code, which could be used by the Browser to provide you with relevant local weather and/or news reports. The information gathered by the Browser will not be tied to any information that would identify you personally. The websites you visit, including those of advertisers, have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of websites before providing them with any of your personal information.

4. AUTOMATED UPDATES.

Maxthon may deliver to your computer or other device upon which the Browser is installed automated updates, modifications, and/or patches to address issues such as security, interoperability, and performance (collectively 'Updates'). Certain Updates may be subject to additional terms and conditions. By using the Browser you consent to such automated updating. Your use of the Updates shall be governed by this Agreement (as modified from time to time) unless you are asked to agree to a new agreement at the time of download or installation.

5. CONTENT.

(a) BROWSER CONTENT.

Included in the Browser MxNitro is an area in which MxNitro may provide to you content and/or links to websites of our affiliates and partners. Such content is provided to you for your personal, non-commercial use as a convenience to you. Maxthon makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy or reliability of the information included in such content. Reproduction and redistribution of such content is strictly prohibited.

Maxthon is not liable for content that is provided by others. Maxthon reserves the right, although it has no obligation, to block access to any Internet area containing illegal or other harmful content being used for purposes that are unlawful or injurious to Maxthon or its users. You acknowledge that third-party sites on the Internet have their own terms and conditions that govern your use of those sites.

If you violate the terms of this Agreement, this Agreement and your right to use the Browser shall terminate immediately and without notice.

9. CHANGES TO THE BROWSER.

Maxthon may, at any time, change, modify, add to or discontinue or retire any aspect or feature of the Browser. Maxthon has no obligation to provide you with notice of any such changes.

10. ADDITIONAL SERVICES.

Features, web pages, or additional services may be made available through the Browser, sometimes for a fee. You agree to be bound by any additional terms and conditions governing the use of such features or services should you decide to utilize them. Such additional terms and conditions will be presented to you at the time you decide to use one of these features or services. The information collection and usage practices of such features and services may differ from the information collection and usage practices related to the Browser. If this is the case, you will be notified prior to your use of any such feature or service of the applicable privacy policy, which will describe the relevant information collection and usage practices. Some features, services, and components may be available for use only by certain categories of users, such as members of fee-based services offered by Maxthon or its affiliates.

11. THIRD PARTY OFFERINGS.

Third parties may from time to time offer applications or services to access, 'plug-into' or interact with the Browser. Your use of such third-party applications will be at your own risk and subject to the terms and conditions of those third parties. Maxthon makes no representations or warranties with respect to such third party applications. You agree that Maxthon is under no obligation to provide you with any error corrections, updates, upgrades, fixes and/or enhancements to make the Browser accessible through or compatible with these third party applications.

12. FEES.

There is no license fee for the Browser. If the Browser is made available on media, and if you wish to receive the Browser on media, there may be a small charge for the media and for shipping and handling. You are responsible for any and all taxes.

13. DIGITAL CERTIFICATES.

The Browser supports certain cryptographic and authentication features, including but not limited to Secure Sockets Layer and S/MIME 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 Maxthon have no control. You are solely responsible for familiarizing yourself 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 to validate a digital certificate, maintain the security of a cryptographic key or password, or pay fees for certification services. Maxthon has preloaded digital certificates of certain CAs into the Browser in order to facilitate the recognition of digital certificates that such CAs have issued to persons, organizations, or devices (including software code). YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DECISION TO USE OR RELY UPON A DIGITAL CERTIFICATE, INCLUDING THOSE DIGITAL CERTIFICATES THAT MAXTHON HAS PRELOADED INTO THE PRODUCT. MAXTHON 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.

14. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.

Maxthon and/or its licensors and other suppliers retain all title, ownership, and intellectual property rights in the Browser. The Browser is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws and by international treaties. Title and related rights in the content accessed through the Browser, including without limitation text, photos, music, and videos, are the property of the applicable content owners and are protected by applicable law. These laws restrict your rights with respect to such content. Some of the content may also include security measures designed to control access and prevent authorized copying and use of copyright materials. You agree not to interfere with any such security components. The license granted under this Agreement gives you no rights in or to such content. Maxthon, or its licensors and other suppliers, own all trademarks used in connection with the Browser, and no license to use any such trademarks is provided hereunder. Maxthon welcomes your feedback regarding our products. You agree that Maxthon may use in any manner and without limitation all comments, suggestions, complaints and other feedback you provide relating to the Browser.

15. YOUR REPRESENTATIONS.

You represent and warrant that you have adequate legal capacity to enter into this Agreement, that you will use the Browser only for lawful purposes and in accordance with this Agreement, and that you will not use the Browser in violation of any law, regulation or ordinance or any right of Maxthon or its licensors or any third party, including, without limitation, any right of privacy, publicity, copyright or trademark. You agree to indemnify Maxthon, its parent, licensors, officers, agents, employees and directors for any damages incurred as a result of a violation of this paragraph.

16. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.

You acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, your breach or threatened breach of this Agreement shall cause Maxthon irreparable damage for which recovery of money damages would be inadequate and that Maxthon, therefore, may obtain timely injunctive relief to protect its rights under this Agreement in addition to any and all other remedies available at law or in equity.

17. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.

THE BROWSER IS PROVIDED WITH ALL FAULTS ON AN 'AS IS' BASIS. MAXTHON AND ITS LICENSORS AND SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES THAT THE BROWSER IS FREE OF DEFECTS, VIRUS FREE, AND ABLE TO OPERATE ON AN UNINTERRUPTED BASIS, THAT THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE BROWSER WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, OR THAT ERRORS IN THE BROWSER WILL BE CORRECTED, AND THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES THAT THE BROWSER IS MERCHANTABLE, OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, ACCURATE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NEED, OR NON-INFRINGING, UNLESS SUCH IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE LEGALLY INCAPABLE OF EXCLUSION. FURTHER, MAXTHON AND ITS LICENSORS AND SUPPLIERS DO NOT WARRANT OR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE USE OR THE RESULTS OF THE USE OF THE BROWSER IN TERMS OF THEIR CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE. IN ADDITION, THE SECURITY MECHANISMS IMPLEMENTED BY THE BROWSER HAVE INHERENT LIMITATIONS, AND YOU MUST DETERMINE THAT THE BROWSER SUFFICIENTLY MEETS YOUR REQUIREMENTS. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY MAXTHON OR A MAXTHON AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY OR IN ANY WAY INCREASE THE SCOPE OF ANY WARRANTY THAT CANNOT BE DISCLAIMED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. MAXTHON AND ITS LICENSORS AND OTHER SUPPLIERS HAVE NO LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO YOUR USE OF THE BROWSER. YOU BEAR THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO ITS QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE AND ASSUME THE ENTIRE COST OF ANY SERVICE AND REPAIR. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT. NO USE OF THE BROWSER IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.

18. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL MAXTHON OR ITS PARENT, AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, DISTRIBUTORS, LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS, AGENTS OR RESELLERS (COLLECTIVELY, THE 'MAXTHON GROUP') BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE BROWSER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, 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, THE MAXTHON GROUP'S ENTIRE COLLECTIVE LIABILITY UNDER ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED IN THE AGGREGATE THE SUM OF THE FEES YOU PAID FOR THIS LICENSE (IF ANY) AND REPLACEMENT OF DEFECTIVE MEDIA OR PROVISION OF A REASONABLY SIMILAR BROWSER PRODUCT, AS DETERMINED AT MAXTHON'S SOLE DISCRETION, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF MAXTHON 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. THE MAXTHON GROUP IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF CONTENT PROVIDED BY YOU OR A THIRD PARTY THAT IS ACCESSED THROUGH THE BROWSER AND/OR ANY MATERIAL LINKED THROUGH SUCH CONTENT.

19. IMPORT/EXPORT CONTROL.

You agree to fully comply with all export and import laws, regulations, rules and orders of the United States, or any foreign government agency or authority, and not to directly or indirectly export, re-export, transfer, or release the Browser, any other commodities, software or technology received from Maxthon, or any direct product thereof, for any proscribed end-use, or to any proscribed country, entity or person (wherever located), without proper authorization from the U.S. and/or foreign government. You further agree to assume responsibility for and bear all expenses relating to your compliance with the described laws, regulations, rules and orders, and obtaining all necessary authorizations and clearances.

20. HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES.

The Browser is not fault-tolerant and is not designed, manufactured or intended for use in environments in which its failure could lead directly to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage, such as in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication systems, air traffic control, direct life support machines, or weapons systems ('High Risk Activities'). ACCORDINGLY, MAXTHON AND ITS LICENSORS AND OTHER SUPPLIERS SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES. YOU AGREE THAT THE MAXTHON GROUP WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIMS OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE OF THE BROWSER IN SUCH APPLICATIONS.

21. U.S. GOVERNMENT END-USERS.

The Browser is a 'commercial item' as that term is defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101, consisting of 'commercial computer software' and 'commercial computer software documentation', as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995) and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202 (June 1995).

MAXTHON MAY PROVIDE NOTICES TO YOU (1) VIA E-MAIL IF YOU HAVE PROVIDED MAXTHON WITH A VALID EMAIL ADDRESS OR (2) BY POSTING THE NOTICE ON A MAXTHON WEBSITE THAT SERVES AS THE DEFAULT HOME PAGE FOR YOUR BROWSER, OR OTHER WEBSITE DESIGNATED BY MAXTHON FOR THIS PURPOSE.

4. SQLite Copyright

SQLite is in the Public Domain. All of the deliverable code in SQLite has been dedicated to the public domain by the authors. All code authors, and representatives of the companies they work for, have signed affidavits dedicating their contributions to the public domain and originals of those signed affidavits are stored in a firesafe at the main offices of Hwaci. Anyone is free to copy, modify, publish, use, compile, sell, or distribute the original SQLite code, either in source code form or as a compiled binary, for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial, and by any means.

The previous paragraph applies to the deliverable code in SQLite - those parts of the SQLite library that you actually bundle and ship with a larger application. Portions of the documentation and some code used as part of the build process might fall under other licenses. The details here are unclear.

We do not worry about the licensing of the documentation and build code so much because none of these things are part of the core deliverable SQLite library.

All of the deliverable code in SQLite has been written from scratch. No code has been taken from other projects or from the open internet. Every line of code can be traced back to its original author, and all of those authors have public domain dedications on file. So the SQLite code base is clean and is uncontaminated with licensed code from other projects.
