CONTENT.

Licensee may use any clipart, photographs, icons, fonts, shapes, animations, sounds, music, video clips,
and all other graphic content (collectively, “Content”) included with the Licensed Software, if any, only as
stated in the Documentation. If the Documentation does not permit Licensee to use the Content, then
Licensee may not display, modify, reproduce, or distribute any of the Content; and even if the
Documentation permits Licensee to use the Content, Licensee may not distribute the Content on a stand­alone basis such as where the Content constitutes the primary value of whatever Licensee is distributing.

Certain portions of the Content may consist of the copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade names, or
other intellectual property of third parties. Avanquest North America has provided these portions of the
Content for Licensees’ convenience in using the Licensed Software, pursuant to authorization of their
owners. Except for this limited use, Licensee may not use any third-party intellectual property identified as
belonging to others without the owners’ express authorization. Furthermore:

initials, emblems, trademarks, or entities that expresses or implies any endorsement or association

with any product, service, entity, or activity; and
(4) Under no circumstances may the Content be used in the production of defamatory, fraudulent,

infringing, lewd, obscene, or pornographic material, or in any otherwise illegal manner.
Licensee is solely responsible for Licensee’s use of the Content. Licensee may only use the Content

responsibly, in a manner consistent with the exercise of good judgment. If Licensee is having difficulty
deciding whether Licensee’s intended use is appropriate, or whether Licensee needs written permission, or
whether other legal issues should be considered, Avanquest North America strongly encourages Licensee
to seek competent legal counsel. Avanquest North America will not assist Licensee in making this
determination, nor can Avanquest North America provide Licensee with legal advice as to intellectual
property rights.

If Licensee or Licensee's attorney determines that Licensee is required by law to obtain written permission
to use portions of the Content, Licensee must request permission for reproduction, redistribution, or
modification of the Content from the appropriate owner of the subject materials (as may be cited in the
Licensed Software). If, on the other hand, Licensee or Licensee's attorney determines it is permissible to
proceed and include Content from the Licensed Software, Avanquest North America asks Licensee to
correctly designate Avanquest North America’s trademark(s) when referring to the Licensed software in
the notice or copyright portion of Licensee’s paper, project, or product.

Licensee shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Avanquest North America and Avanquest North
America’s suppliers from all claims, damages, attorneys’ fees, costs, and lawsuits that arise from, or result
from, Licensee’s use or distribution of Content.

SOFTWARE UPDATES.

If the Licensed Software is an Update to a previous version, Licensee must possess a valid License to the
previous version. Any Update provided to Licensee is made on a License-exchange basis such that
Licensee agrees, as a condition for receiving an Update, that Licensee will terminate all of Licensee’s
rights to use any previous version of the Licensed Software. However, Licensee may continue to use the
previous version only to assist in transitioning to the Updated version. Once an Update has been released,
Avanquest North America may cease support for prior versions, without any notice to Licensee.

CONTENT UPDATES.

Avanquest North America provides updates to the content of some of its software from time to time,
including but not limited to, virus definitions, URL lists, rules, and updated vulnerability data. These types
of updates are collectively referred to as “Content Updates.” Licensee may obtain any such Content
Updates during the initial period provided for by the applicable software without additional charge.
Licensee may purchase a separate subscription for a specified period of time to continue to receive Content
Updates after the initial period expires. Avanquest North America reserves the right to designate specified
Content Updates as requiring purchase of a separate subscription at any time, and without prior notice to
Licensee, except that any such change will only become effective at the earlier of the expiration of the
initial period provided for by the applicable software, or the expiration of the term of a separately paid for
subscription.

Avanquest North America is not obligated by this EULA to provide Licensee with any technical support
services relating to the Licensed Software; however, Licensee may order additional support services for an
additional charge as Avanquest North America may offer from time to time during the term of this EULA.

LIMITED WARRANTY ON MEDIA.

Avanquest North America warrants that the media on which the Licensed Software is distributed will be
free from defects for a period of 30 days from the date the Licensed Software is delivered to Licensee. If
Licensee discovers a defect in the media during this 30-day period, Licensee must then return the defective
media to Avanquest North America within 10 calendar days of discovering the defect, and Licensee’s sole
remedy is to have either the defective media replaced, or at Avanquest North America’s sole option, a
refund of the money that Licensee paid for the Licensed Software.

NO WARRANTY ON LICENSED SOFTWARE.

The Licensed Software is provided to Licensee “AS IS.” Avanquest North America, and Avanquest North
America’s suppliers, make no warranty as to its use or performance. AVANQUEST NORTH AMERICA,
AND AVANQUEST NORTH AMERICA’S SUPPLIERS, MAKE 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,
EXCEPT FOR, AND TO THE EXTENT, THAT A WARRANTY MAY NOT BE EXCLUDED OR
LIMITED BY APPLICABLE LAW IN LICENSEE’S JURISDICTION.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

IN NO EVENT WILL AVANQUEST NORTH AMERICA, OR AVANQUEST NORTH AMERICA’S
SUPPLIERS, BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE FOR ANY DAMAGES, CLAIMS, OR COSTS
WHATSOEVER, OR FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, OR
ANY LOST PROFITS OR LOST SAVINGS, EVEN IF A REPRESENTATIVE OF AVANQUEST
NORTH AMERICA OR ONE OF AVANQUEST NORTH AMERICA’S SUPPLIERS HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS, DAMAGES, CLAIMS, OR COSTS, OR FOR
ANY CLAIM BY ANY THIRD PARTY. THESE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS APPLY TO
THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW IN LICENSEE’S JURISDICTION. THE
AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF AVANQUEST NORTH AMERICA, AND AVANQUEST NORTH
AMERICA’S SUPPLIERS, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS EULA, SHALL BE LIMITED
TO THE AMOUNT PAID FOR THE LICENSED SOFTWARE, IF ANY.

ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR BETA SOFTWARE.

If the Licensed Software that Licensee receives with this EULA is pre-commercial release or “BETA”
software (“Pre-release Software”), then, to the extent that any provision in this section is in conflict with
any other term or condition in this EULA, this section supersedes such conflicting term(s) and condition(s)
as to the Pre-release Software, but only to the extent necessary to resolve the conflict.

Licensee acknowledges that the Pre-release Software does not represent the final product from Avanquest
North America, and may contain bugs, errors, and other problems that could cause system or other failures
and data loss. Consequently, Avanquest North America disclaims any warranty or liability obligations to
Licensee of any kind whatsoever.

IN APPLICABLE JURISDICTIONS WHERE LIABILITY CANNOT BE SO EXCLUDED FOR PRE­RELEASE SOFTWARE, BUT MAY BE LIMITED, AVANQUEST NORTH AMERICA'S LIABILITY,
AND THAT OF ITS SUPPLIERS, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE TOTAL OF FIFTY DOLLARS (U.S.
$50.00).

Licensee acknowledges that Avanquest North America has not promised or guaranteed to Licensee that
the Pre-release Software will be announced or made available to anyone in the future, and that Avanquest
North America has no express or implied obligation to Licensee to announce or introduce the Pre-release
Software. Avanquest North America may decide not to introduce a product similar to, or compatible with,
the Pre-release Software. Accordingly, Licensee acknowledges that any research or development that
Licensee performs regarding the Pre-release Software, or any product associated with the Pre-release
Software, is done entirely at Licensee’s own risk.

6 • End User License Agreement AutoSave Essentials

During the term of this EULA, if requested by Avanquest North America, Licensee will provide feedback
to Avanquest North America regarding testing and use of the Pre-release Software, including error or bug
reports.

If Licensee has been provided the Pre-release Software pursuant to a separate written agreement, then
Licensee’s use of the Pre-release Software is also governed by that agreement. Notwithstanding anything
in this EULA to the contrary, if Licensee is located outside the United States, Licensee will return or
destroy all unreleased versions of the Pre-release Software within 30 days of the completion of Licensee’s
testing of the Pre-release Software if that date is earlier than the date scheduled for Avanquest North
America’s first commercial shipment of the publicly released (commercial) Software.

conflict of law rules of any jurisdiction, or the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the
International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNERSHIP.

The Licensed Software and any authorized copies that Licensee makes are the intellectual property of, and
are owned by, Avanquest North America, and by third parties whose intellectual property has been
licensed by Avanquest North America. The structure, organization, and code of the Licensed Software are

provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions of this EULA
will remain in full force and effect.

WAIVER.

No failure or delay by Avanquest North America in exercising its rights or remedies shall operate as a
waiver unless made by specific written notice. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy of
Avanquest North America shall operate as a waiver or preclude any other, or further, exercise of that, or
any other right, or remedy.

Installing and Starting AutoSave
Essentials

Introduction

With AutoSave Essentials, you can create and run backup plans on your computer
to save backup copies of your files whenever you make changes to them.
AutoSave Essentials comes with automatic backup plans that can begin protecting
your valuable information right after you finish installing the program. You can
schedule backup plans to run at specified intervals to automatically create backups
of your files, or you can run backup plans manually whenever you need to. After
you set one or more AutoSave Essentials automatic backup plans, you can rest
assured that your files are being protected.

AutoSave Essentials protects all data from being permanently lost due to system
crash, hardware failure, or even simple human error.

• For families, the easiest way to lose valuable memories and cherished
souvenirs is by not protecting family pictures or videos.

• For those of us who rely on digital information, losing any sort of data can be
a disaster, whether it’s financial information or your whole music library.

• For all small businesses, the computer has become an essential tool.
Protecting customer files, emails, and financial records is vital for all
companies.

AutoSave Essentials integrates smart backup technology that works seamlessly
with your environment. Depending on the type of data you want to back up,
AutoSave Essentials automatically suggests the correct parameters to secure your
files. When your laptop is running on battery or your backup device isn’t
connected to your computer, AutoSave Essentials keeps track of every
modification you make to your files, and it then secures them later.
