End User License Agreement for AOL Computer CheckupEnd User License Agreement for AOL Computer Checkup Welcome! The following terms govern your use of the Computer Checkup software, applications and services (“Applications”). You may use the Applications only if you agree to these terms.
This license has the same legal effect as an agreement in writing. If you do not agree, do not install, copy or use the Applications. 1. APPLICATIONS. AOL Inc., Support.com, Inc. and their affiliates and suppliers ("we" or "us") provide the Applications to you under the terms of this Agreement. In this Agreement, we use the term “you” or “your” to mean you as an individual or such entity in whose behalf you act, if any. We may discontinue or change any feature of the Applications at any time and without notice. 2. TERMS. This Agreement plus (a) any supplemental terms posted below and (b) any additional terms that accompany any specific feature, Application or upgrade collectively govern your use of the Applications. We may modify this License if we offer and you accept the download of any new features or updates for the Applications. 3. OWNERSHIP. This is a license of the Applications, not a sale. The Applications and any content and services provided via the Applications are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws and by international treaties. We, our licensors and suppliers own all rights in the Applications. Your rights to use the Applications are specified in this Agreement and we retain and reserve all rights not expressly granted to you.
4. RIGHT TO USE. During the term of this Agreement, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-sublicenseable and non-transferable right to install and use one copy of the Application on one computing device for personal and internal business purposes. If a greater number of computing devices is specified during purchase, you may use the application for the specified number of computer devices. Each device would require a separate license from us. 5. RESTRICTIONS. You may not: (i) make any copies of the Applications other than the copy that you need to operate the Applications on your devices, (ii) modify or create any derivative works of the Applications; (iii) decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, underlying ideas, or algorithms of the Applications, or in any way ascertain, decipher, or obtain the communications protocols for accessing our networks; (iv) use the Applications to develop software or services that access the address space of the Applications or that intercept the proxy; (v) attempt to gain unauthorized access to any of our or our suppliers', licensors’, and distributors' services, accounts, computer systems or networks associated with the Applications; (vi) resell, lease, sublicense or otherwise attempt to transfer rights to the Applications; (vii) remove or alter any trademark, logo, copyright or other proprietary notices, legends, symbols or labels in the Applications; (vii) block, disable, or otherwise affect any advertising, advertisement banner window, tabs, links to other sites and services, or other features that constitute an integral part of the Applications; (ix) incorporate, integrate or otherwise include all or any portion of any of the Applications (including the communications protocols) into any software, program or product that communicates, accesses, or otherwise connects with our services or that interconnects any of our services with any other instant messaging or other online service; (x) use any of our services associated with the Applications in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair such services or interfere with any other party's use and enjoyment of them; (xi) use the Applications in any way that violates this Agreement or any law; (xii) use the Applications in any way that violates the rights of any third party; (xiii) use the Applications in any way to transmit, directly or indirectly, any unsolicited bulk communications (such e-mails, voice, photos, video, chat or SPIM instant messages); or (xiv) assist any third party to do any of the things described in this paragraph.
(b) Maintaining the confidentiality of any User ID, passwords or log-in credentials; (c) Taking reasonable steps to prevent unauthorized access to confidential information stored in your mobile phone or other wireless device; and
(d) Complying with this Agreement and with any and all applicable laws. You must notify your wireless carrier immediately if your mobile phone is lost or stolen. We cannot be responsible for what happens if your account information (such as stored User IDs and passwords) becomes known to someone else. 10. SUGGESTIONS. You agree that we may, without limitation and for no compensation, use in any manner all comments, suggestions, complaints and other feedback you provide relating to the Applications. 11. YOUR REPRESENTATIONS. You represent and warrant that you have adequate legal capacity to enter into this Agreement, that you will use the Applications only for lawful purposes, that you will not violate the rights of others or the terms of this Agreement.
12. AUTOMATED UPDATES. We may, but we are under no obligation to, provide updates, patches and fixes (collectively, “Updates”). You may be given the opportunity to choose whether you want all Updates delivered automatically or if you would prefer to be notified when a new Update is ready to be installed, or when we make such Updates available for download. You authorize us to deliver automatically any Update if we believe it is necessary to provide for the continued functionality of the Applications. Your use of the Updates will be governed by this Agreement unless you are asked to agree to new or additional terms at the time of download or installation. 13. PERFORMANCE AND USAGE INFORMATION.
(a) TECHNICAL INFORMATION. Most of the Applications are configured to report back information automatically relating to computer errors arising in connection with use of the Applications, without notice to you. Information on your Applications’ configuration settings may be included. We use these data to diagnose and improve the Applications. (b) FEATURE USAGE INFORMATION. The Applications may also provide us with anonymous information about use of the Applications’ features. We use this information in the aggregate to improve the Applications and determine which Application features and buttons are most popular and useful to its users. (c) PERSONALIZATION. You may be asked to provide us with certain information so that we can personalize content presented to you through the Applications. For example, you may be asked for your zip code, which could be used to provide you with relevant local weather and/or news reports. 14. THIRD PARTY OFFERINGS. Your use of any third-party plug-in applications is at your own risk. We assume no responsibility for your use of such plug-ins, and we have no obligation to correct errors or provide Updates for third party applications. 15. TERMINATION. This Agreement automatically terminates if you fail to comply with any of its terms. We may terminate this Agreement and/or the License granted to you under this Agreement at any time in our sole discretion. You may discontinue use of the Applications at your discretion. Upon termination, you must stop all use of the Applications and must destroy all copies of the Applications that are in your possession. All provisions of this Agreement, except for the license grant in Section 3 above, survive the termination of this Agreement. 16. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. You agree that your breach or threatened breach of this Agreement will cause us irreparable injury for which recovery of money damages would be inadequate and that we, therefore, may obtain timely injunctive relief to protect our rights under this Agreement in addition to any and all other remedies available to us at law or in equity. 17.
