From the day two years after a version of the Software more recent than the Licensed Version is made available by POV on the Site clause 3 only permits reproduction of the Software where the Distributor ensures that each recipient of such a reproduction is aware, prior to obtaining that reproduction, that that reproduction of the Software is an old version of the Software and that a more recent version of the Software is available from the Site. 5. COPYRIGHT AND NO LITIGATION 5.1. Copyright subsists in the Software and is protected by Australian and international copyright laws. 5.2. Nothing in this agreement gives Distributor any rights in respect of any Intellectual Rights in respect of the Software or which are held by or on behalf of POV.

Distributor acknowledges that if it performs out any act in respect of the Software without the permission of POV it will be liable to POV for all damages POV may suffer (and which Distributor acknowledges it may suffer) as well as statutory damages to the maximum extent permitted by law and that it may also be liable to criminal prosecution. 5.4. Distributor must not commence any action against any person alleging that the Software or the use or distribution of the Software infringes any rights, including Intellectual Rights of the Distributor or of any other person. If Distributor provides one or more copies of the Software to any other person in accordance with the agreement, Distributor waives all rights it has, or may have in the future, to bring any action, directly or indirectly, against any person to the extent that such an action relates to an infringement of any rights, including Intellectual Rights of any person in any way arising from, or in relation to, the use, or distribution, (including through the authorisation of such use or distribution) of: (a) the Software; (b) any earlier or later version of the Software; or (c) any other software to the extent it incorporates elements of the software referred to in paragraphs (a) or (b) of this clause 5.4. 6. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY 6.1. To the extent permitted by law, all implied terms and conditions are excluded from this agreement. Where a term or condition is implied into this agreement and that term cannot be legally excluded, that term has effect as a term or condition of this agreement. However, to the extent permitted by law, the liability of POV for a breach of such an implied term or condition is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law. 6.2. To the extent permitted by law, this Software is provided on an "AS IS" basis, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including without limitation, any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement of intellectual property of any third party. The Software has inherent limitations including design faults and programming bugs. 6.3. The entire risk as to the quality and performance of the Software is borne by Distributor, and it is Distributor's responsibility to ensure that the Software fulfils Distributor's requirements prior to using it in any manner (other than testing it for the purposes of this paragraph in a non-critical and non-production environment), and prior to distributing it in any fashion. 6.4. This clause 6 is an essential and material term of, and cannot be severed from, this agreement.

NO LIABILITY 7.1. When you distribute or use the Software you acknowledge and accept that you do so at your sole risk. Distributor agrees that under no circumstances will it have any claim against POV or any POV Associate for any loss, damages, harm, injury, expense, work stoppage, loss of business information, business interruption, computer failure or malfunction which may be suffered by you or by any third party from any cause whatsoever, howsoever arising, in connection with your use or distribution of the Software even where POV was aware, or ought to have been aware, of the potential of such loss. 7.2. Neither POV nor any POV Associate has any liability to Distributor for any indirect, general, special, incidental, punitive and/or consequential damages arising as a result of a breach of this agreement by POV or which arises in any way related to the Software or the exercise of a licence granted to Distributor under this agreement. 7.3. POV's total aggregate liability to the Distributor for all loss or damage arising in any way related to this agreement is limited to the lesser of: (a) AU$100, and (b) the amount received by POV from Distributor as payment for the grant of a licence under this agreement. 7.4. Distributor must bring any action against POV in any way related to this agreement or the Software within 3 months of the cause of action first arising. Distributor waives any right it has to bring any action against POV and releases POV from all liability in respect of a cause of action if initiating process in relation to that action is not served on POV within 3 months of the cause of action arising. Where a particular set of facts give rise to more than one cause of action this clause 7.4 applies as if all such causes of action arise at the time the first such cause of action arises. 7.5. This clause 7 is an essential and material term of, and cannot be severed from, this agreement. If Distributor does not or cannot agree to be bound by this clause, or if it is unenforceable, then Distributor must not, at any time, make any reproductions of the Software under this agreement and this agreement gives the Distributor no rights to make any reproductions of any part of the Software. 8. INDEMNITY 8.1. Distributor indemnifies POV and each POV Associate and holds each of them harmless against all claims which arise from any loss, damages, harm, injury, expense, work stoppage, loss of business information, business interruption, computer failure or malfunction, which may be suffered by Distributor or any other party whatsoever as a consequence of: (a) any act or omission of POV and/or any POV Associate, whether negligent or not; (b) Distributor's use and/or distribution of the Software; or (c) any other cause whatsoever, howsoever arising, in connection with the Software. This clause 8 is binding on Distributor's estate, heirs, executors, legal successors, administrators, parents and/or guardians. 8.2. Distributor indemnifies POV, each POV Associate and each of the authors of any part of the Software against all loss and damage and for every other consequence flowing from any breach by Distributor of any Intellectual Right held by POV. 8.3. This clause 8 constitutes an essential and material term of, and cannot be severed from, this agreement.

HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES 9.1. This Software and the output produced by this Software is not fault-tolerant and is not designed, manufactured or intended for use as on-line control equipment in hazardous environments requiring fail-safe performance, in which the failure of the Software could lead or directly or indirectly to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage ("High Risk Activities"). POV specifically disclaims all express or implied warranty of fitness for High Risk Activities and, notwithstanding any other term of this agreement, explicitly prohibits the use or distribution of the Software for such purposes. 10. ENDORSEMENT PROHIBITION 10.1. Distributor must not, without explicit written permission from POV, claim or imply in any way that: (a) POV or any POV Associate officially endorses or supports the Distributor or any product (such as CD, book, or magazine) associated with the Distributor or any reproduction of the Software made in accordance with this agreement; or (b) POV derives any benefit from any reproduction made in accordance with this agreement. 11.

In such cases Distributor agrees to attempt to substitute for each invalid or unenforceable provision a valid or enforceable provision which achieves to the greatest extent possible, the objectives and intention of the invalid or unenforceable provision. 12.4. A waiver of a right under this agreement is not effective unless given in writing signed by the party granting that waiver.
