Further duplications of the original software are not allowed, except for backup purposes. The software and all related material must not be changed nor edited, disassembled, reconstructed, recompiled or used in any way different to its intended utilization, except those activities are valid due to copyright regulations which stringently must be applied in the respective country.

3 Warranty for Defects of Quality
3.1The seller grants warranty towards the purchaser only for the fact, that the delivered software basically features all characteristics and functions which are pointed out in the related material at the time of delivery to the purchaser and that the delivered data medium can be read from an appropriate hardware, which normally is intended to be used for these data mediums, without any errors.
3.2In a warranty case the seller grants, within the warranty period of six month after delivery, at purchaser’s option resolve of defects or replacement delivery within an appropriate time limit specified by the purchaser. If rework/replacement fails for the third time the purchaser is allowed to claim the whole or a part of that amount of money which is equal to the price which the purchaser has paid for the software. If the purchaser claims the whole purchase price the purchaser has to uninstall the software completely and hand it back step by step against the refund of the purchase price. In case of a partial refund, the purchaser keeps the right to use the software. The amount refunded matches the use limitations which were caused by the defect. Warranties exceeding the former sections are not granted by the seller. Particularly the seller grants no warranty for the term that the software fulfils purchaser’s special requirements and purpose of usage or any (advertising) statements or descriptions announced by the AristaFlow GmbH or its resellers.

If this is not possible the liability of the seller against the purchaser is limited up to the value which is equal to the amount of money the proprietor would be entitled to claim from the purchaser for an intended utilization of the software for one year period at most. 
This limitation of liability is invalid if the seller knew or should have known about the industrial property- or copyrights of the proprietor at the date of delivery. If or as far as the violation of the property rights are not caused by the software itself but by the utilization of the software, any warranty is excluded, except the case, that the related material explicitly intends for such utilization or takes it for granted. Furthermore any warranty is excluded for the case, that the purchaser does not inform the seller in written form about a possible violation of property rights immediately after he got aware of it. Further grants exceeding the mentioned warranties that the software is free from industrial property- and copyrights are not taken over by the seller.
