have been received by the recipient without any obligation of confidentiality from a source (other than the 
disclosing party) lawfully having possession of such information.

Metadata or copies thereof will: (1) substantially diminish the value to GET DIGITAL DATA of the trade secrets 
and other proprietary interests that are the subject of this Agreement; (2) render GET DIGITAL DATA's remedy 
at law for such unauthorized use, disclosure or transfer inadequate; and (3) cause irreparable injury in a short 
period of time. If END USER breaches any of its obligations with respect to the use or confidentiality of the 
Metadata, GET DIGITAL DATA shall be entitled to equitable relief to protect its interests therein, including, 
but not limited to, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief.
D.  Survival. END USER's obligations under this Section will survive the termination of this Agreement or of

artwork or album summary information.

when properly enabled, will perform substantially as described in GET DIGITAL DATA's current 
documentation, found at: www.getdigitaldata.com .
C.  Limitations. Notwithstanding the warranty provisions set forth herein, all of GET DIGITAL DATA's 
obligations with respect to such warranties shall be contingent on END USER's use of the Metadata in 
accordance with this Agreement. 
D.  END USER's Sole Remedy. GET DIGITAL DATA's entire liability and END USER's exclusive remedy for any 
breach of these warranties shall be, at GET DIGITAL DATA's option: (1) repair to enable access to the 
Metadata; provided GET DIGITAL DATA receives written notice from END USER during the warranty period of 
a breach of warranty.
E.  Disclaimer of Warranties. THE METADATA IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS ONLY. OTHER THAN SPECIFIED 
HEREIN, ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED 
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. 
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION 
MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
GET DIGITAL DATA DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT ALL ERRORS IN THE METADATA WILL BE  
						

							12 CORRECTED.  NO AGENT OF GET DIGITAL DATA IS AUTHORIZED TO ALTER OR EXCEED THE WARRANTY 
OBLIGATIONS AS SET FORTH HEREIN.
F.   Limitation of Liability. END USER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE CONSIDERATION WHICH GET 
DIGITAL DATA IS CHARGING HEREUNDER DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY CONSIDERATION FOR ASSUMPTION BY 
GET DIGITAL DATA OF THE RISK OF END USER'S CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY 
ARISE IN CONNECTION WITH END USER'S USE OF THE METADATA. ACCORDINGLY, END USER AGREES THAT 
GET DIGITAL DATA SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE TO END USER FOR ANY LOSS-OF-PROFIT, INDIRECT, 
INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE LICENSING OR USE OF THE 
METADATA. Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of GET DIGITAL 
DATA to any person, firm or corporation whatsoever arising out of or in the connection with any license, use 
or other employment of any Metadata delivered to END USER hereunder, whether such liability arises from 
any claim based on breach or repudiation of contract, warranty, tort or otherwise, shall in no case exceed the 
actual price paid to GET DIGITAL DATA by END USER for the License whose use, or other employment gives 
rise to the liability. The essential purpose of this provision is to limit the potential liability of GET DIGITAL 
DATA arising out of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that the limitations set forth in this Section are 
integral to the amount of consideration levied in connection with the license of the Metadata and any 
services rendered hereunder and that, were GET DIGITAL DATA to assume any further liability other than as 
set forth herein, such consideration would of necessity be set substantially higher.
8.  INDEMNIFICATION
A.  GET DIGITAL DATA shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend END USER against any action brought 
against END USER to the extent that such action is based on a claim that, the Metadata, when used in 
accordance with this Agreement, infringes the intellectual property rights of a third party and GET DIGITAL 
DATA shall pay all costs, settlements and damages finally awarded; provided, that END USER promptly 
notifies GET DIGITAL DATA in writing of any claim, gives GET DIGITAL DATA sole control of the defense and 
settlement thereof and provides all reasonable assistance in connection therewith. If any Metadata is finally 
adjudged to so infringe, or in GET DIGITAL DATA's opinion is likely to become the subject of such a claim, 
GET DIGITAL DATA shall, at its option, either: (1) procure for END USER the right to continue using the 
Metadata (2) modify or replace the Metadata to make it non-infringing, or (3) provide a partial refund. GET 
DIGITAL DATA shall have no liability regarding any claim arising out of: (a) use of other than a current, 
unaltered release of the Metadata unless the infringing portion is also in the then current, unaltered release, 
(b) use of the Metadata in combination with non-GET DIGITAL DATA software, data or equipment if the 
infringement was caused by such use or combination, (c) any modification or derivation of the Metadata not

THE METADATA.

DATA, their officers, agents and employees from and against any claims, demands, or causes of action 
whatsoever, including without limitation those arising on account of END USER's modification or 
enhancement of the Metadata or otherwise caused by, or arising out of, or resulting from, the exercise or
