In consideration of the payment of the license fee, Nikon grants to you a non-exclusive license
to use the enclosed computer program and documentation ("Nikon Device Driver Software")
only under the terms stated in this agreement. This license is not a sale of the Nikon Device
Driver Software and you do not become owner of it. Nikon retains ownership of Nikon
Device Driver Software and all copies of it, and reserves all rights not expressly granted to you
under this agreement. You only own the disk on which the Nikon Device Driver Software is
recorded. This agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive agreement between you and
Nikon and takes the place of any prior agreement, oral or written, between us relating to the
Nikon Device Driver Software.
1. License
This license allows you to:

must obtain a supplementary license from Nikon before using the Nikon Device Driver
Software in connection with systems, multiple central processing units, computer networks, or
emulations on a mainframe or mini computer.
B Make one copy of the Nikon Device Driver Software in machine-readable form solely
for back-up purposes. The Nikon Device Driver Software is protected by United States copy-
right law. You must reproduce on each copy the Nikon copyright notice and any other propri-
etary legends that were on the original copy.
C Transfer the Nikon Device Driver Software and all rights under this license to another
party together with a copy of this Agreement provided you give Nikon written notice of the
transfer and the other party reads and agrees to accept the terms and conditions of the agree-
ment.
D Configure the Nikon Device Driver Software for your own use by adding or removing
fonts, desk accessories, and/or device drivers.
2. Restrictions
Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, you may not distribute copies of the Nikon
Device Driver Software to others or electronically transfer the Nikon Device Driver Software
Page II Software Reference for Scanners
from one computer to another over a network. The Nikon Device Driver Software contains
trade secrets, and in order to protect them, you may not decompile, reverse engineer, disassem-
ble, or otherwise reduce the Nikon Device Driver Software to a human perceivable form.
YOU MAY NOT MODIFY, ADAPT, TRANSLATE, RENT, LEASE, LOAN, RESELL FOR
PROFIT, DISTRIBUTE, NETWORK, OR CREATE DERIVATIVE WORKS BASED
UPON THE NIKON DEVICE DRIVER SOFTWARE OR ANY PART THEREOF.
3. Term
This license is effective until terminated. This license will terminate automatically without
notice from Nikon if you fail to comply with any provisions of this license. Upon termination
you must destroy the Nikon Device Driver Software and all copies thereof. You may terminate
this license at any time by destroying the Nikon Device Driver Software and all copies thereof.
4. Foreign Export
You agree and certify that neither the Nikon Device Driver Software nor any direct product
thereof is being or will be shipped, transferred, or re-exported, directly or indirectly, into any
country prohibited by the United States Export Administration Act and the regulations there-
under or will be used for any purpose prohibited by the same.
5. Limited Warranty and Limitations of Warranty and Liability
A Nikon warrants that the disk on which the Nikon Device Driver Software is recorded is
free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and conditions for a period of
ninety (90) days from date of delivery to the original licensee as evidenced by the original fee
receipt. During this period, if there is any defect in material or workmanship to the disk,
return it to the Nikon authorized dealer from whom you obtained it, together with your origi-
nal fee receipt and it will be repaired or replaced free of charge. If you ship the Nikon Device
Driver Software to your Nikon authorized dealer, you must pay all postage, shipping, trans-
portation, insurance and delivery costs.
B This warranty extends to the original licensee only and is not assignable or transferable.
This warranty does not apply to any disk which has been subject to misuse, abuse, negligence
or accident. Any repaired or replaced disk shall be warranted for the remainder of the original
limited warranty or thirty (30) days, whichever is longer. All warranties implied by law on the
disk, including but not limited to merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, are limited
to the duration of the above warranty. Nikon's entire liability and your exclusive remedy here-
under is limited solely to repair or replacement of the disk on which the Device Driver
Software is recorded, or, at Nikon's option, a refund of the license fee.
C Except for the limited warranty for the disk on which the Nikon Device Driver Software
is recorded as set forth above, Nikon makes no warranties, either expressed or implied. The
Nikon Device Driver Software is sold "as is" without any warranty of any kind and Nikon, its
employees, distributors, dealers and agents specifically disclaim any warranty of any kind, either
expressed or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranty of merchantability or
fitness for a particular purpose. In no event does Nikon, its employees, distributors, dealers, or
Software Reference for Scanners Page III
agents warrant the performance of or the results you may obtain from the Nikon Device Driver
Software, or that the Nikon Device Driver Software will meet your requirements, or that the
operation of the Nikon Device Driver Software will be uninterrupted and error-free. If the
Nikon Device Driver Software is defective, you assume all costs of repair or servicing. In no
event shall Nikon, its employees, distributors, dealers or agents be liable to you for any direct,
indirect, consequential or incidental damages, losses or expenses of any kind, including but not
limited to the loss of profits, business information or business interruption, arising out of or
resulting from the Nikon Device Driver Software, however caused, even if Nikon has been
advised of the possibility of such damages, losses or expenses.
D EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NIKON SHALL HAVE NO LIABIL-
ITY OR RESPONSIBILITY OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING LIABILITY FOR NEGLIGENCE) TO YOU OR
ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LIABILITY, LOSS OR DAMAGE CAUSED
OR ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BY THE NIKON DEVICE DRI-
VER SOFTWARE SOLD, LICENSED OR FURNISHED BY NIKON UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE ABOVE LIMITATION, NIKON'S LIABILITY ON ANY CLAIM OF ANY KIND
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) FROM THE DELIVERY, LICENSE, OR USE OF THE NIKON DEVICE DRI-
VER SOFTWARE FURNISHED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL IN NO CASE EXCEED THE FEE
YOU PAID FOR THE NIKON DEVICE DRIVER SOFTWARE.
SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW (A) LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS
OR (B) THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATIONS OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SO
THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. NIKON'S WARRANTY
GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY
FROM STATE TO STATE.
6. General
This agreement is governed and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York. If any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid for
any reason, the remaining provisions shall not be invalidated and shall remain in full force and
effect.
