objects on your Computer, please visit

Runtime client as part of a peer or distributed network that allows a
portion of your resources, such as network bandwidth, to be made
directly available to other participants. Prior to joining such peer or

required components of the Software, including any available Content
Protection Updates. You can find more information on Content Protection
at [51]http://www.adobe.com/go/protected_content.

Internet, the Software may, without additional notice and on an
intermittent or regular basis, facilitate your access to content and
services that are hosted on websites maintained by Adobe or its
affiliates ("Adobe Online Services"). Examples of such Adobe Online
Services might include, but are not limited to: Acrobat.com. In some

cases, access to an Adobe Online Service might require a separate
subscription or other fee in order to access it, and/or your assent to
additional terms of use. Adobe Online Services might not be available
in all languages or to residents of all countries and Adobe may, at any
time and for any reason, modify or discontinue the availability of any
Adobe Online Service. Adobe also reserves the right to begin charging a
fee for access to or use of an Adobe Online Service that was previously

the Software may, without additional notice, update downloadable
materials from these Adobe Online Services so as to provide immediate
availability of these Adobe Online Services even when you are offline.

information is sent except to the extent that IP Addresses may be
considered personally identifiable in some jurisdictions.

publisher of Adobe AIR applications created by third parties.
Additionally, Adobe AIR uses digital certificates to establish the
identity of servers accessed via the Transport Layer Security (TLS)

to validate certified PDF documents. Adobe Runtimes use digital

Software. Digital certificates are issued by third party certificate
authorities, including Adobe Certified Document Services (CDS) vendors
listed at [53]http://www.adobe.com/go/partners_cds and Adobe Approved
Trust List (AATL) vendors listed at
[54]http://www.adobe.com/security/approved-trust-list.html, and

agreements, relying party agreements, certificate policies and practice
statements. See the links on [56]http://www.adobe.com/go/partners_cds

Certification Authority, or any other third party, and (c) a
certificate may be a self-signed certificate not provided by a

Nothing included in this agreement (including Section 4.5) shall limit
any non-waivable right to decompile the Software that you may enjoy

Union (EU), you may have the right upon certain conditions specified in
the applicable law to decompile the Software if it is necessary to do
so in order to achieve interoperability of the Software with another
software program, and you have first asked Adobe in writing to provide
the information necessary to achieve such interoperability and Adobe
has not made such information available. In addition, such
decompilation may only be done by you or someone else entitled to use a
copy of the Software on your behalf. Adobe has the right to impose
reasonable conditions before providing such information. Any
information supplied by Adobe or obtained by you, as permitted
hereunder, may only be used by you for the purpose described herein and
may not be disclosed to any third party or used to create any software
which is substantially similar to the expression of the Software or
used for any other act which infringes Adobe or its licensors'
copyright.

mandatory statutory liability, in particular, to liability under the
