SOFTWARE END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT

FOR SecuROM™ Removal Tool


BEFORE USING THE SecuROM™ Removal Tool, PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT ("LICENSE") BETWEEN YOU AND SONY DADC AUSTRIA AG ("SONY DADC") CAREFULLY. YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS LICENSE IF YOU INSTALL OR USE ANY PART OF THE SecuROM™ Removal Tool, OR IF YOU CLICK THE ACCEPTANCE BUTTON ON THE ELECTRONIC VERSION OF THIS LICENSE.

This License governs your use of the SecuROM™ Removal Tool and all related documentation, and any updates and upgrades that may replace or supplement the SecuROM™ Removal Tool and are not distributed with a separate license (collectively, the "Software").

By installing or using the Software, you consent to be bound by this License. If you do not agree to the terms of this License, then do not install or use the Software.


  1. License Grant. Sony DADC grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive license to install and use the Software for your personal, non-commercial use solely as set forth in this License and the accompanying documentation. Your acquired rights are subject to your compliance with this License. Any commercial use is prohibited. You are expressly prohibited from sub-licensing, renting, leasing or otherwise distributing the Software or rights to use the Software. The term of your License shall commence on the date that you install or otherwise use the Software, and shall end on the earlier of the date that you dispose of the Software or the date of termination of this License pursuant to Paragraph 5. Sony DADC expressly reserves all rights not granted in this License.

  2. Restrictions. Your right to use the Software is limited to the license grant in paragraph 1 above, and you may not otherwise copy, display, distribute, make available, sublicense, publish, modify, create works from, or use the Software or any component of it. You may not remove or alter any trademarks, logos or legal notices included in the Software.

  3. Operation. An internet connection is required for you to obtain the Software. You will be given the option to download or open a zip-archive file that contains the Software. After you have removed SecuROM™ files, folders and registry keys from your computer with the Software, you may delete the Software from your computer.

  4. Functionality. After extraction of the zip-archive and upon executing, the Software will remove SecuROM™ files, folders and registry keys for all SecuROM™-protected applications that use version v7 (used since late 2004) for the Windows user logged on when the Software runs. The Software will not remove the protected applications themselves or the SecuROM™ components contained in those applications. For instructions on how to remove such applications (which will also remove the SecuROM™ components contained in those applications), please contact their publishers. To remove SecuROM™ files, folders and registry keys on computers where more than one Windows user has used a SecuROM™-protected application, the Software must be run for each such user. If a SecuROM™-protected application is launched again, all associated SecuROM™ files, folders and registry keys will be restored for that Windows user. Please note that, if an application publisher has configured SecuROM™ to allow only a limited number of activations of the application on the same computer, uninstalling SecuROM™ and then re-launching the protected application again may count as an activation of the application.

  5. Intellectual Property Rights. The Software is licensed, not sold. Except as expressly licensed to you herein, Sony DADC reserves all right, title and interest in the Software, and all associated copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights therein. This License is limited to the intellectual property rights of Sony DADC and its licensors in the Software and does not include any rights to other patents or intellectual property. Except to the extent permitted under applicable law, you may not decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer the Software by any means whatsoever. You may not remove, alter, or obscure any product identification, copyright, or other intellectual property notices in the Software. Sony DADC owns all of the right, title and interest in the Software.

  6. Termination. This License is effective until terminated by Sony DADC or pursuant to Paragraph 1 or this Paragraph. Your rights under this License will terminate immediately and automatically without any notice from Sony DADC if you fail to comply with any of the terms and conditions of this License. Promptly upon termination, you must cease all use of the Software and delete or destroy all copies of the Software in your possession or control. Termination will not limit any of Sony DADC's other rights or remedies at law or in equity. Paragraphs 5 - 8 of this License shall survive termination or expiration of this License for any reason.

  7. Disclaimer of Warranties. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED TO YOU "AS IS," WITH ALL FAULTS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND YOUR USE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE ENTIRE RISK OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE RESIDES WITH YOU. SONY DADC AND SONY DADC'S LICENSORS (COLLECTIVELY "SONY DADC" FOR PURPOSES OF THIS PARAGRAPH AND PARAGRAPH 7) DO NOT MAKE, AND HEREBY DISCLAIM, ANY AND ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, AND WARRANTIES (IF ANY) ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE. SONY DADC DOES NOT WARRANT AGAINST INTERFERENCE WITH YOUR ENJOYMENT OF THE SOFTWARE; THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS; THAT OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE OR THAT ANY ERRORS IN THE SOFTWARE WILL BE CORRECTED. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN ADVICE PROVIDED BY SONY DADC OR ANY AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF OR LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATIONS ON THE APPLICABLE STATUTORY RIGHTS OF A CONSUMER, SO SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

  8. Limitation of Liability. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL SONY DADC BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOST PROFITS, COST OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, OR ANY FORM OF INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES FROM ANY CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS LICENSE OR THE SOFTWARE, WHETHER ARISING IN TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER OR NOT SONY DADC HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATIONS OR CERTAIN INTENTIONAL OR NEGLIGENT ACTS, OR VIOLATION OF SPECIFIC STATUTES, OR THE LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

  9. Limitation of Liability and Disclaimer of Warranties are Material Terms of this License. You agree that the provisions in this License that disclaim warranties and limit liability are essential terms of this License.

  10. Severability and Survival. If any provision of this License is deemed illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, the remainder of the provision shall be amended to achieve as closely as possible the effect of the original term and all other provisions of this License shall continue in full force and effect.

  11. Injunctive Relief. You agree that a breach of this License may cause irreparable injury to Sony DADC for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and Sony DADC shall be entitled to seek equitable relief in addition to any remedies it may have hereunder or at law.

  12. Governing Law. This License shall be governed by and construed (without regard to conflicts or choice of law principles) under the laws of the State of New York. Unless expressly waived by Sony DADC in writing for the particular instance or contrary to local law, the sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue for actions related to the subject matter hereof shall be the state and federal courts in New York County, New York. The parties agree that the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (Vienna, 1980) shall not apply to this License or to any dispute or transaction arising out of this License.

  13. U.S. Government End Users. If you are a government end user, then this provision applies to you. The Software provided in connection with this License has been developed entirely at private expense, as defined in FAR section 2.101, DFARS section 252.227-7014(a)(1) and DFARS section 252.227-7015 (or any equivalent or subsequent agency regulation thereof), and is provided as "commercial items," "commercial computer software" and/or "commercial computer software documentation." Consistent with DFARS section 227.7202 and FAR section 12.212, and to the extent required under U.S. federal law, the minimum restricted rights as set forth in FAR section 52.227-19 (or any equivalent or subsequent agency regulation thereof), any use, modification, reproduction, release, performance, display, disclosure or distribution thereof by or for the U.S. Government shall be governed solely by this License and shall be prohibited except to the extent expressly permitted by this License.

  14. Entire Agreement. This License constitutes the entire agreement between you and Sony DADC with respect to the Software and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings regarding such subject matter. No amendment to or modification of this License will be binding unless made in writing and signed by Sony DADC. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of either party, any right or any power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or power hereunder preclude further exercise of any other right hereunder.
