2.7 Certified Documents.
2.7.1 Certified Documents and CD Services. The Software allows you to author and validate Certified
Documents. A "Certified Document" or "CD" is a PDF file that has been digitally signed using (a) the
Software CD feature set, (b) a certificate, and (c) a "private" encryption key that corresponds to the
"public" key in the certificate. Authoring of a CD requires that you obtain a certificate from an
authorized CD Service Provider. "CD Service Provider" is an independent third party service vendor
listed at http://www.adobe.com/security/partners_cds.html. Validation of a CD requires CD Services
from the CD Service Provider that issued the certificate. "CD Services" are services provided by CD Service
Providers, including without limitation (a) certificates issued by such CD Service Provider for use with
the SoftwareÂ’s CD feature set, (b) services related to issuance of certificates, and (c) other services
related to certificates, including without limitation verification services.
2.7.2 CD Service Providers. Although the Software provides CD authoring and validation features, Adobe
does not supply the necessary CD Services required to use these features. Purchasing, availability and
responsibility for the CD Services are between you and the CD Service Provider. Before you rely upon
any CD, any digital signature applied thereto, and/or any related CD Services, you must first review
and agree to the applicable Issuer Statement and this Agreement. "Issuer Statement" means the terms
and conditions under which each CD Service Provider offers CD Services (see the links on
http://www.adobe.com/security/partners_cds.html), including for example any subscriber agreements,
relying party agreements, certificate policies and practice statements, and Section 2.7 of this Agreement.
By validating a CD using CD Services, you acknowledge and agree that (i) the certificate used to
digitally sign a CD may be revoked at the time of verification, making the digital signature on the CD
appear valid when in fact it is not, (ii) the security or integrity of a CD may be compromised due to
an act or omission by the signer of the CD, the applicable CD Service Provider, or any other third party;
and (iii) you must read, understand, and be bound by the applicable Issuer Statement.
2.7.3 Warranty Disclaimer. CD Service Providers offer CD Services solely in accordance with the
applicable Issuer Statement. ACCESS TO THE CD SERVICES THROUGH THE USE OF THE SOFTWARE IS MADE AVAILABLE
ON AN "AS IS" BASIS ONLY AND WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OR INDEMNITY OF ANY KIND (EXCEPT AS SUPPLIED BY A CD
SERVICES PROVIDER IN ITS ISSUER STATEMENT). ADOBE AND EACH CD SERVICE PROVIDER (EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY
PROVIDED IN ITS ISSUER STATEMENT) MAKE NO WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS, INDEMNITIES, REPRESENTATIONS OR
TERMS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WHETHER BY STATUTE, COMMON LAW, CUSTOM, USAGE OR OTHERWISE AS TO ANY OTHER
MATTERS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, TITLE, INTEGRATION,
ACCURACY, SECURITY, AVAILABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR
PURPOSE WITH RESPECT TO THE CD SERVICES.
2.7.4 Indemnity. You agree to hold Adobe and any applicable CD Service Provider (except as expressly
provided in its Issuer Statement) harmless from any and all liabilities, losses, actions, damages, or
claims (including all reasonable expenses, costs, and attorneys fees) arising out of or relating to any
use of, or reliance on, any CD Service, including, without limitation (a) reliance on an expired or revoked
certificate; (b) improper verification of a certificate; (c) use of a certificate other than as permitted
by any applicable Issuer Statement, this Agreement or applicable law; (d) failure to exercise reasonable
judgment under the circumstances in relying on the CD Services; or (e) failure to perform any of the
obligations as required in an applicable Issuer Statement.
2.7.5 Limit of Liability. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ADOBE OR ANY CD SERVICE PROVIDER (EXCEPT AS
EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ITS ISSUER STATEMENT) BE LIABLE TO YOU, OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY, FOR ANY
LOSS OF USE, REVENUE OR PROFIT, LOST OR DAMAGED DATA, OR OTHER COMMERCIAL OR ECONOMIC LOSS OR FOR ANY DIRECT,
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, STATUTORY, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER RELATED
TO YOUR USE OR RELIANCE UPON CD SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR IF SUCH
DAMAGES ARE FORESEEABLE. THIS LIMITATION SHALL APPLY EVEN IN THE EVENT OF A FUNDAMENTAL OR MATERIAL BREACH
OR A BREACH OF THE FUNDAMENTAL OR MATERIAL TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
2.7.6 Third Party Beneficiaries. You agree that any CD Service Provider you utilize shall be a third
party beneficiary with respect to this Section 2.7 of this Agreement, and that such CD Service Provider
shall have the right to enforce such provisions in its own name as if the CD Service Provider were Adobe.

14. SPECIFIC EXCEPTIONS.
14.1 Limited Warranty for Users Residing in Germany or Austria. If you obtained the Software in Germany or
Austria, and you usually reside in such country, then Section 6 does not apply, instead, Adobe warrants that
the Software provides the functionalities set forth in the Documentation (the "agreed upon functionalities")
for the limited warranty period following receipt of the Software when used on the recommended hardware
configuration. As used in this Section, "limited warranty period" means one (1) year if you are a business
user and two (2) years if you are not a business user. Non-substantial variation from the agreed upon
functionalities shall not be considered and does not establish any warranty rights. This limited warranty
does not apply to Software provided TO YOU free of charge, for example, UPDATES, pre-release, tryout,
product sampler, NOT FOR RESALE (NFR) COPIES OF SOFTWARE, OR SOFTWARE THAT HAS BEEN ALTERED BY YOU,
TO THE EXTENT SUCH ALTERATIONS CAUSED A DEFECT. To make a warranty claim, during the limited warranty
period you must return, at our expense, the Software and proof of purchase to the location where you
obtained it. If the functionalities of the Software vary substantially from the agreed upon functionalities,
Adobe is entitled -- by way of re-performance and at its own discretion -- to repair or replace the Software.
If this fails, you are entitled to a reduction of the purchase price (reduction) or to cancel the
purchase agreement (rescission). For further warranty information, please contact AdobeÂ’s Customer
Support Department
14.2 Limitation of Liability for Users Residing in Germany and Austria.
14.2.1 If you obtained the Software in Germany or Austria, and you usually reside in such country,
then Section 8 does not apply. Instead, subject to the provisions in Section 14.2.2, Adobe's statutory
liability for damages shall be limited as follows: (i) Adobe shall be liable only up to the amount of
damages as typically foreseeable at the time of entering into the purchase agreement in respect of damages
caused by a slightly negligent breach of a material contractual obligation and (ii) Adobe shall not be
liable for damages caused by a slightly negligent breach of a non-material contractual obligation.
14.2.2 The aforesaid limitation of liability shall not apply to any mandatory statutory liability,
in particular, to liability under the German Product Liability Act, liability for assuming a specific
guarantee or liability for culpably caused personal injuries.
14.2.3 You are required to take all reasonable measures to avoid and reduce damages, in particular
to make back-up copies of the Software and your computer data subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
14.3 Pre-release Product Additional Terms. If the product you have received with this license is
pre-commercial release or beta Software ("Pre-release Software"), then the following Section applies.
To the extent that any provision in this Section is in conflict with any other term(s) or condition(s)
in this Agreement, this Section shall supercede such other term(s) and condition(s) with respect to the
Pre-release Software, but only to the extent necessary to resolve the conflict. You acknowledge that the
Software is a pre-release version, does not represent final product from Adobe, and may contain bugs,
errors and other problems that could cause system or other failures and data loss. Consequently,
the Pre-release Software is provided to you "AS-IS", and Adobe disclaims any warranty or liability
obligations to you of any kind. WHERE LIABILITY CANNOT BE EXCLUDED FOR PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE, BUT IT
MAY BE LIMITED, ADOBEÂ’S LIABILITY AND THAT OF ITS SUPPLIERS SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE SUM OF
FIFTY DOLLARS (U.S. $50) IN TOTAL. You acknowledge that Adobe has not promised or guaranteed to you
that Pre-release Software will be announced or made available to anyone in the future, Adobe has no
express or implied obligation to you to announce or introduce the Pre-release Software and that
Adobe may not introduce a product similar to or compatible with the Pre-release Software. Accordingly,
you acknowledge that any research or development that you perform regarding the Pre-release Software
or any product associated with the Pre-release Software is done entirely at your own risk. During the
term of this Agreement, if requested by Adobe, you will provide feedback to Adobe regarding testing
and use of the Pre-release Software, including error or bug reports. If you have been provided the
Pre-release Software pursuant to a separate written agreement, such as the Adobe Systems Incorporated
Serial Agreement for Unreleased Products, your use of the Software is also governed by such agreement.
You agree that you may not and certify that you will not sublicense, lease, loan, rent, assign, or
transfer the Pre-release Software. Upon receipt of a later unreleased version of the Pre-release
Software or release by Adobe of a publicly released commercial version of the Software, whether as
a stand-alone product or as part of a larger product, you agree to return or destroy all earlier
Pre-release Software received from Adobe and to abide by the terms of the license agreement for
any such later versions of the Pre-release Software. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to
the contrary, if you are located outside the United States of America, you agree that you will
return or destroy all unreleased versions of the Pre-release Software within thirty (30) days of
the completion of your testing of the Software when such date is earlier than the date for Adobe's
first commercial shipment of the publicly released (commercial) Software.
14.4 Tryout, Product Sampler, NFR, Additional Terms. If the product you have received with this
license is a tryout, product sampler, or NFR copy of the Software ("Tryout Software"), then the
following Section applies until such time that you purchase a license to the full retail version
of such product. To the extent that any provision in this Section is in conflict with any other
term or condition in this Agreement, this Section shall supercede such other term(s) and condition(s)
with respect to the Tryout Software, but only to the extent necessary to resolve the conflict. YOU
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE TRYOUT SOFTWARE CONTAINS LIMITED FUNCTIONALITY AND/OR FUNCTIONS FOR A LIMITED
PERIOD OF TIME. ADOBE IS LICENSING THE TRYOUT SOFTWARE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, SOLELY AS A DEMONSTRATION
MODEL. If the Tryout Software is a timeout version, then the program will terminate operations after
a designated period of time (e.g. 15, 30, or 45 days) following installation (the "Time Out Date"),
which is specified in the Software. Upon such Time Out Date, the license hereunder shall be terminated,
unless extended by Adobe upon your purchase of a full retail license from Adobe. You acknowledge that
such Tryout Software shall cease operation upon the Time Out Date and accordingly, access to any files
or output created with such Tryout Software or any product associated with the Tryout Software is done
entirely at your own risk. Adobe disclaims any warranty or liability obligations to you of any kind,
INCLUDING WHERE LEGALLY LIABILITY CANNOT BE EXCLUDED FOR TRYOUT SOFTWARE, BUT IT MAY BE LIMITED,
ADOBE’S LIABILITY AND THAT OF ITS SUPPLIERS SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE SUM OF FIFTY DOLLARS (U.S. $50) IN TOTAL.
