1.1 NO WARRANTY. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE SDK (AS DEFINED BELOW) MAY BE PRONE TO BUGS AND/OR STABILITY ISSUES. THE SDK IS PROVIDED TO YOU "AS IS," AND ADOBE AND ITS SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTY OR LIABILITY OBLIGATIONS TO YOU OF ANY KIND. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ADOBE MAKES NO EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO THE SDK INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY WITH REGARD TO PERFORMANCE, MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, NONINFRINGEMENT OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. YOU BEAR THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE SDK AND YOUR USE OF AND OUTPUT FROM THE SDK. Adobe is not obligated to provide maintenance, technical support or updates to you for any portion of the SDK. The foregoing limitations, exclusions and limitations shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, even if any remedy fails its essential purpose.

1.2 Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT WILL ADOBE OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOSSES, DAMAGES, CLAIMS OR COSTS WHATSOEVER INCLUDING ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, ANY LOST PROFITS OR LOST SAVINGS, ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, PERSONAL INJURY OR FAILURE TO MEET ANY DUTY OF CARE, OR CLAIMS BY A THIRD PARTY EVEN IF AN ADOBE REPRESENTATIVE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES, DAMAGES, CLAIMS OR COSTS. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS APPLY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW IN YOUR JURISDICTION. ADOBE’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY AND THAT OF ITS SUPPLIERS UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID FOR THE SDK, IF ANY.

You agree to hold Adobe harmless from any and all liabilities, losses, actions, damages or claims (including product liability, warranty and intellectual property claims, and all reasonable expenses, costs and attorneys fees) arising out of or relating to your distribution of all or any portion of the SDK or any Developer Application; provided that Adobe cooperates with you, at your expense, in resolving any such claim.

5. DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS, RESTRICTIONS AND PRIVACY.
5.1 Development. You shall not create or distribute any software, including any Developer Application that interoperates with individual Runtime Components in a manner not documented by Adobe. You shall not create or distribute any software, including any Developer Application that is designed to interoperate with an un-installed instance of the Runtime Software. You shall not create or distribute any Developer Application that runs without installation. You are not permitted to install or use the Build Tools or other portions of the SDK to develop software prohibited by this agreement. Failure to comply with this Section 5.1 is a breach of this agreement that immediately terminates all rights granted to you herein.

5.2 Other Prohibitions. You will not use the SDK to create, develop or use any program, software or service that (a) contains any viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancelbots or other computer programming routines that are intended to damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data or personal information, (b) when used in the manner in which it is intended or marketed, violates any law, statute, ordinance, regulation or rights (including any laws, regulations or rights respecting intellectual property, computer spyware, privacy, export control, unfair competition, antidiscrimination or advertising), or (c) interferes with the operability of Adobe or third-party programs or software.

Development, use or distribution of a Developer Application that operates on non-PC devices and that decodes MP3 data not contained within a SWF, FLV or other file format that contains more than MP3 data may require one or more third-party license(s).

5.5 Privacy. You will comply with all data protection and privacy laws and rules applicable to the personal information of your end users. You will conspicuously post a privacy policy that tells users what personal data you are going to use and how you will use, display, share, or transfer that data.
