141. LICENSE AGREEMENT.  As used in this Agreement, for residents of
15Europe, the Middle East or Africa, "Netscape" shall mean Netscape
16Communications Ireland Limited; for residents of Japan, "Netscape"
17shall mean Netscape Communications (Japan), Ltd.; for residents of
18all other countries, "Netscape" shall mean Netscape Communications
19Corporation.  In this Agreement "Licensor" shall mean Netscape
20except under the following circumstances: (i) if Licensee acquired
21the Product as a bundled component of a third party product or
22service, then such third party shall be Licensor; and (ii) if any
23third party software is included as part of the default
24installation and no license is presented for acceptance the first
25time that third party software is invoked, then the use of that
26third party software shall be governed by this Agreement, but the
27term "Licensor," with respect to such third party software, shall
28mean the manufacturer of that software and not Netscape.  With the
29exception of the situation described in (ii) above, the use of any
30included third party software product shall be governed by the
31third party's license agreement and not by this Agreement, whether
32that license agreement is presented for acceptance the first time
33that the third party software is invoked, is included in a file in
34electronic form, or is included in the package in printed form.
35If more than one license agreement was provided for the Product,
36and the terms vary, the order of precedence of those license
37agreements is as follows: a signed agreement, a license agreement
38available for review on the Netscape website, a printed or
39electronic agreement that states clearly that it supersedes other
40agreements, a printed agreement provided with the Product, an

48receive from Netscape hard-copy documentation, technical support,
49telephone assistance, or enhancements or updates to the Product.
50Licensee may not customize the Product unless Licensee has also
51licensed either the Netscape Client Customization Kit ("CCK") or

62any derivative works of the Product or documentation, including

81copies of the Product.
82
836. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.  Title, ownership rights, and intellectual
84property rights in the Product shall remain in Netscape and/or its
85suppliers.  Licensee acknowledges such ownership and intellectual
86property rights and will not take any action to jeopardize, limit
87or interfere in any manner with Netscape's or its suppliers'

107OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT.  NO
108USE OF THE PRODUCT IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS
109DISCLAIMER.
110
1118. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY
112APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR OR ITS SUPPLIERS OR
113RESELLERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
114CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE
115THE PRODUCT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF
116GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY
117AND ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE
118POSSIBILITY THEREOF, AND REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE
119THEORY (CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) UPON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED.
120IN ANY CASE, LICENSOR'S ENTIRE LIABILITY UNDER ANY PROVISION OF
121THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED IN THE AGGREGATE THE SUM OF THE
122FEES LICENSEE PAID FOR THIS LICENSE (IF ANY) AND FEES FOR SUPPORT

124AGREEMENT (IF ANY), WITH THE EXCEPTION OF DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY
125CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF LICENSOR TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW
126PROHIBITS THE LIMITATION OF DAMAGES IN SUCH CASES.  SOME
127JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF

129LIMITATION MAY NOT BE APPLICABLE.  NETSCAPE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR
130ANY LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF CONTENT PROVIDED BY LICENSEE OR A
131THIRD PARTY THAT IS ACCESSED THROUGH THE PRODUCT AND/OR ANY
132MATERIAL LINKED THROUGH SUCH CONTENT.
133
1349. ENCRYPTION.  If Licensee wishes to use the cryptographic
135features of the Product, then Licensee may need to obtain and
136install a signed digital certificate from a certificate authority
137or a certificate server.  Licensee may be charged additional fees
138for certification services.  Licensee is responsible for
139maintaining the security of the environment in which the Product
140is used and the integrity of the private key file used with the
141Product.  In addition, the use of digital certificates is subject
142to the terms specified by the certificate provider, and there are
143inherent limitations in the capabilities of digital certificates.
144If Licensee is sending or receiving digital certificates, Licensee
145is responsible for familiarizing itself with and evaluating such
146terms and limitations.  If the Product is a version with FORTEZZA,
147Licensee will need to obtain PC Card Readers and FORTEZZA Crypto
148Cards from another vendor to enable the FORTEZZA features.

151and restrictions and regulations of the United States or foreign
152agencies or authorities, and not to export or re-export the Product
153or any direct product thereof in violation of any such restrictions,
154laws or regulations, or without all necessary approvals.  As
155applicable, each party shall obtain and bear all expenses relating
156to any necessary licenses and/or exemptions with respect to its own
