The following Software License Agreement (“License”) for one licensed copy of the Maxtor
Personal Storage Software (the “Software”) applies to you. By opening the sealed packet
containing the Software, you indicate your acceptance of this License.
This is a legal agreement between you (“You”) and Maxtor Corporation (“Maxtor”). By open-
ing the sealed package and/or by using the Software you agree to be bound by the terms of
this License. If you do not agree to the terms of this License, promptly return the Software,
together with the unused Maxtor Personal Storage disk drive product (“Maxtor Personal
Storage Disk Drive”) packaged with the Software, in their original sealed packaging, to the
place you acquired the Software for a full refund.
1. License. The Software is licensed and not sold. Maxtor grants to you a personal, nonexclusive license to
Use the Software only on a computer that is directly or indirectly coupled to, and only for operation in
conjunction with, one or more Maxtor Personal Storage Disk Drives. “Use” means storing, loading,
installing, executing or displaying the Software. You may not modify the Software or disable any licensing
or control features of the Software. You are obtaining no rights in the Software except those given in this
limited license.
2. Ownership. The Software, together with all intellectual property rights embodied therein, is owned by
Maxtor and/or its third party suppliers and the Software is protected by United States copyright laws and
international treaties. Your license confers no title or ownership in the Software. Maxtor’s third party
suppliers may protect their rights in the event of any violation of this License.
3. Copies. You may make one copy of the Software for backup or archival purposes, or when copying is an
essential step in the authorized Use of the Software. You must reproduce all copyright notices in the orig-
inal Software on all copies. You may not copy the Software onto any bulletin board or similar system, nor
can you copy the user documentation provided with the Software except for your own authorized use.
4. Restrictions on Use. The Software contains copyrighted material, trade secrets, and other proprietary
material of Maxtor and its suppliers. You are not permitted to (i) modify, adapt, translate, decompile, dis-
assemble or otherwise reverse engineer the Software or reduce the Software to human-readable form
by any means whatsoever; (ii) remove any identification, copyright or other notices from the Software; (iii)
create a derivative work of any part of the Software; or (iv) rent, lease, loan or distribute the Software in
whole or in part.
5. Transfer. Your license will automatically terminate upon any transfer of the Software. Upon transfer, you
must cease all use and deliver the Software, including any copies and related documentation, to the
transferee. The transferee must accept and be bound by this License as a condition of the transfer.
6. Third Party Software. The media containing the Software includes third software products (“Third Party
Software”) which require that you enter into a separate license agreement with the publisher of such
software in conjunction with your original installation. You understand that your use of the Third Party
Software is governed by the terms of that end user license agreement and not by this License, and you
agree to abide by that third party license agreement.
7. Termination. Maxtor may terminate your license upon notice of failure to comply with any of the terms
of this License. Upon termination, you must immediately destroy the Software, together with all copies
thereof. The disclaimers in Sections 8 and 9 and the provisions of Sections 6, 10, 11 and 12 shall survive
any termination.
8. Limited Warranty. Maxtor warrants that the media on which the Software is distributed will be free from
damage or physical defects at the time of first distribution to you. If the damaged or defective media is
returned to Maxtor (postage prepaid) within ninety (90) days from the date of delivery of the Software to
you, then Maxtor will provide you with a replacement copy at no cost. Your sole and exclusive remedy in
the event of breach of this warranty will be that Maxtor will, at its option, replace any defective media
returned to Maxtor within the warranty period or refund the money you paid attributable to the Software.
Except for the foregoing, Maxtor is licensing the Software to you “as is.” Neither Maxtor nor its suppliers
warrant that the Software will meet your requirements or that the operation of the Software will be unin-
terrupted or that the Software will be error-free. THE ABOVE WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUD-
ING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF MERCHANTABILITY, FIT-
NESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. Some juris-
dictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitations on how long an implied warranty
may last, so the above limitations may not be applicable to you. This limited warranty provides
specific legal rights. Other rights may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
9. Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY LOCAL LAW OR FOR BODILY
INJURY, IN NO EVENT SHALL MAXTOR OR ITS SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES OR SUPPLIERS, BE LIABLE
FOR ANY DIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OF ANY KIND
(INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS OR DOWNTIME COSTS)
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF, INABILITY TO USE, OR THE RESULTS OF USE OF, THE SOFTWARE,
WHETHER BASED IN WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR
NOT ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE TOTAL LIABILITY
OF MAXTOR OR ITS SUPPLIERS FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION EXCEED
THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE SPECIFIC MAXTOR PRODUCT TO WHICH THE LIABILITY IS
RELATED. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for incidental or conse-
quential damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
10. Export Restrictions. You agree and certify that neither the Software nor any technical data received from
Maxtor, nor the direct product thereof, will be exported outside the United States except as authorized
and as permitted by the laws and regulations of the United States. If the Software has been rightfully
obtained byyou outside the United States, you agree that you will not re-export the Software nor any
other technical data received from Maxtor, nor the direct product thereof, except as permitted by the
laws and regulations of the United States and the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction in which you
obtained the Software.
11. Government Restricted Rights. The Software is provided with RESTRICTED RIGHTS. The Software is a
commercial software product, licensed on the open market, and was developed entirely at private expense
and without government funds. Any use, modification, reproduction, release, performance, display, or dis-
closure of the Software by any government entity shall be governed solely by the terms of this License
and shall be prohibited except to the extent expressly provided under this License. No license to the
Software is granted to any government entity requiring different terms. Use, duplication, or disclosure by
the U.S. Government is subject to restrictions as set forth in subparagraph (c)(1)(ii) of the Rights in
Technical Data and Computer Software clause at DFARS 252.227-7013 or subparagraphs (c)(1) and (2) of
the Commercial Computer Software – Restricted Rights clause at 48 CFR 52.227-19, as applicable.

12. General. This License will be governed by the laws of the State of California, as applied to agreements
entered into and to be performed entirely within California between California residents, without regard to
principles of conflicts of laws. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the
International Sale of Goods is expressly disclaimed. This License may only be modified by a written docu-
ment which has been signed by both you and Maxtor. Should any provisions of this License be declared
invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, the balance of the License will remain in full force and effect.
This is the entire agreement between you and Maxtor, and supersedes any prior agreement, whether writ-
ten or oral, relating to the subject matter of this License.
