Any representation, other than the warranties set forth in this Agreement, will not bind 
Creative.
Creative does not warrant that the functions contained in the Software will meet your 
requirements or that the operation of the Software will be uninterrupted, error-free or 
free from malicious code. For purposes of this paragraph, “malicious code” means any

or dealers) assume the entire cost of all necessary servicing, repair or correction.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which

POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL CREATIVE’S 
LIABILITY OR DAMAGES TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON EVER 
EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO USE THE SOFTWARE,
