SATISFACTORY QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR
PURPOSE WITH RESPECT TO THE THIRD PARTY SITES.
2.7 Certified Documents.
2.7.1 Certified Documents and CD Services. The Software may allow you to validate Certified
Documents. A "Certified Document" or “CD” is a PDF file that has been digitally signed using (a) a
certificate and (b) a “private” encryption key that corresponds to the “public” key in the certificate.
Validation of a CD requires CD Services from the CD Service Provider that issued the certificate.
“CD Service Provider” is an independent third party service vendor listed at
http://www.adobe.com/security/partners_cds.html. “CD Services” are services provided by CD
Service Providers, including without limitation (i) certificates issued by such CD Service Provider
for use with the Software’s CD feature set, (ii) services related to issuance of certificates, and (iii)
other services related to certificates, including without limitation verification services.
2.7.2 CD Service Providers. Although the Software may provide validation features, Adobe does
not supply the necessary CD Services required to use these features. Purchasing, availability and
responsibility for the CD Services are between you and the CD Service Provider. Before you rely
upon any CD, any digital signature applied thereto, and/or any related CD Services, you must first
review and agree to the applicable Issuer Statement and this Agreement. “Issuer Statement” means
the terms and conditions under which each CD Service Provider offers CD Services (see the links on
http://www.adobe.com/security/partners_cds.html), including for example any subscriber
agreements, relying party agreements, certificate policies and practice statements, and Section 2.7 of
this Agreement. By validating a CD using CD Services, you acknowledge and agree that (a) the
certificate used to digitally sign a CD may be revoked at the time of verification, making the digital
signature on the CD appear valid when in fact it is not, (b) the security or integrity of a CD may be
compromised due to an act or omission by the signer of the CD, the applicable CD Service Provider,
or any other third party and (c) you must read, understand, and be bound by the applicable Issuer
Statement.
2.7.3 Warranty Disclaimer. CD Service Providers offer CD Services solely in accordance with the
applicable Issuer Statement. ACCESS TO THE CD SERVICES THROUGH THE USE OF THE
SOFTWARE IS MADE AVAILABLE ON AN “AS IS” BASIS ONLY AND WITHOUT ANY
WARRANTY OR INDEMNITY OF ANY KIND (EXCEPT AS SUPPLIED BY A CD SERVICES
PROVIDER IN ITS ISSUER STATEMENT). ADOBE AND EACH CD SERVICE PROVIDER
(EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ITS ISSUER STATEMENT) MAKE NO
WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS, INDEMNITIES, REPRESENTATIONS OR TERMS, EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, WHETHER BY STATUTE, COMMON LAW, CUSTOM, USAGE OR
OTHERWISE AS TO ANY OTHER MATTERS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO NON-
INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, TITLE, INTEGRATION, ACCURACY,
SECURITY, AVAILABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS
FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH RESPECT TO THE CD SERVICES.
2.7.4 Indemnity. You agree to hold Adobe and any applicable CD Service Provider (except as
expressly provided in its Issuer Statement) harmless from any and all liabilities, losses, actions,
damages, or claims (including all reasonable expenses, costs, and attorneys fees) arising out of or
relating to any use of, or reliance on, any CD Service, including, without limitation (a) reliance on an
expired or revoked certificate, (b) improper verification of a certificate, (c) use of a certificate other
than as permitted by any applicable Issuer Statement, this Agreement or applicable law; (d) failure to
exercise reasonable judgment under the circumstances in relying on the CD Services or (e) failure to
perform any of the obligations as required in an applicable Issuer Statement.
2.7.5 Limit of Liability. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ADOBE OR ANY CD SERVICE
PROVIDER (EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ITS ISSUER STATEMENT) BE LIABLE
TO YOU, OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY, FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, REVENUE OR
PROFIT, LOST OR DAMAGED DATA, OR OTHER COMMERCIAL OR ECONOMIC LOSS OR
FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, STATUTORY, PUNITIVE,
EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER RELATED TO YOUR USE
OR RELIANCE UPON CD SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES OR IF SUCH DAMAGES ARE FORESEEABLE. THIS LIMITATION SHALL
APPLY EVEN IN THE EVENT OF A FUNDAMENTAL OR MATERIAL BREACH OR A
BREACH OF THE FUNDAMENTAL OR MATERIALTERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
2.7.6 Third Party Beneficiaries. You agree that any CD Service Provider you utilize shall be a third
party beneficiary with respect to this Section 2.7 of this Agreement, and that such CD Service
Provider shall have the right to enforce such provisions in its own name as if the CD Service
Provider were Adobe.

Adobe warrants that the Software provides the functionalities set forth in the Documentation (the
"agreed upon functionalities") for the limited warranty period following receipt of the Software
when used on the recommended hardware configuration. As used in this Section, "limited warranty
period" means one (1) year if you are a business user 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 SOFTWARE
PROVIDED TO YOU FREE OF CHARGE, FOR EXAMPLE, UPDATES, PRE-RELEASE,
TRYOUT, PRODUCT SAMPLER, NOT FOR RESALE (NFR) COPIES OF SOFTWARE, OR
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 our 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, Adobe 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 Adobe’s Customer Support
Department
14.2 Limitation of Liability for Users Residing in Germany and Austria.

shall not be liable for damages caused by a slightly negligent breach of a non-material contractual
obligation.

particular, to liability under the German Product Liability Act, liability for assuming a specific
guarantee or liability for culpably caused personal injuries.
14.2.3 You are required to take all reasonable measures to avoid and reduce damages, in particular
to make back-up copies of the Software and your computer data subject to the provisions of this
Agreement.
14.3 Pre-release Product Additional Terms. If the product you have received with this license is pre-
commercial release or beta Software ("Pre-release Software"), then the following Section applies.
To the extent that any provision in this Section is in conflict with any other term or condition in this
Agreement, this Section shall supercede such other term(s) and condition(s) with respect to the Pre-
release Software, but only to the extent necessary to resolve the conflict. You acknowledge that the
Software is a pre-release version, does not represent final product from Adobe, and may contain
bugs, errors and other problems that could cause system or other failures and data loss.

warranty or liability obligations to you of any kind. WHERE LIABILITY CANNOT BE
EXCLUDED FOR PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE, BUT IT MAY BE LIMITED, ADOBE’S
LIABILITY AND THAT OF ITS SUPPLIERS SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE SUM OF FIFTY

release Software or any product associated with the Pre-release Software is done entirely at your
own risk. During the term of this Agreement, if requested by Adobe, you will provide feedback to
Adobe regarding testing and use of the Pre-release Software, including error or bug reports. If you
have been provided the Pre-release Software pursuant to a separate written agreement, such as the
Adobe Systems Incorporated Serial Agreement for Unreleased Products, your use of the Software is
also governed by such agreement. You agree that you may not and certify that you will not
sublicense, lease, loan, rent, assign or transfer the Pre-release Software. Upon receipt of a later

commercial version of the Software, whether as a stand-alone product or as part of a larger product,
you agree to return or destroy all earlier Pre-release Software received from Adobe and to abide by
the terms of the license agreement for any such later versions of the Pre-release Software.
