1. General. The Apple software, tools, utilities, sample or example code, documentation, interfaces, content, data, and other materials accompanying this License, whether on disk, print or electronic documentation, in read only memory, or any other media or in any other form, (collectively, the "Pre-Release Software") are licensed, not sold, to you by Apple Inc. ("Apple") for use only under the terms of this License.  Apple and/or AppleÕs licensors retain ownership of the Pre-Release Software itself and reserve all rights not expressly granted to you. The terms of this License will govern any software upgrades provided by Apple that replace and/or supplement the original Pre-Release Software, unless such upgrade is accompanied by a separate license in which case the terms of that license will govern.

 

2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.

A. Pre-Release Software. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the Pre-Release Software on Apple-branded computers during the term of this License for development and testing purposes only. This License does not permit the Pre-Release Software to be used in a commercial operating environment where it may be relied upon to perform in the same manner as a final-release commercial-grade product or with data that is not sufficiently and regularly backed up.

 

B. You may not and you agree not to, or to enable others to, copy (except as expressly permitted by this License), decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, attempt to derive the source code of, decrypt, modify, or create derivative works of the Pre-Release Software or any services provided by the Pre-Release Software, or any part thereof (except as and only to the extent any foregoing restriction is prohibited by applicable law). You agree to use the Pre-Release Software and the Services (as defined in Section 2D below) in compliance with all applicable laws, including local laws of the country or region in which you reside or in which you download or use the Pre-Release Software and Services.

 

C. The Apple Software may be used to reproduce materials so long as such use is limited to reproduction of non-copyrighted materials, materials in which you own the copyright, or materials you are authorized or legally permitted to reproduce. Title and intellectual property rights in and to any content displayed by or accessed through the Apple Software belongs to the respective content owner. Such content may be protected by copyright or other intellectual property laws and treaties, and may be subject to terms of use of the third party providing such content. This License does not grant you any rights to use such content. For example, any stock photographs, images, graphics, clipart, artwork or similar assets (ÒDigital ImageryÓ) that are provided by Apple and/or its licensors as part of the Apple Software or Services (including but not limited to any Digital Imagery contained within templates, themes or user guides and tutorials) may not be extracted and distributed, commercially or otherwise, on a standalone basis outside of the Apple Software.

 

D. Services. The Pre-Release Software may enable access to Apple and third party services and web sites (referred to hereafter, collectively and individually, as "Services"). Use of these Services requires Internet access, may require you to accept additional terms and conditions and may be subject to additional fees. Apple has provided access to the Services as a convenience and has no express or implied obligation to provide any technical or other support for any third party software or services.

 

You understand that by using any of the Services, you may encounter content that may be deemed offensive, indecent, or objectionable, which content may or may not be identified as having explicit language. Nevertheless, you agree to use the Services at your sole risk and that Apple shall have no liability to you for content that may be found to be offensive, indecent, or objectionable.

 

You agree that the Services, including but not limited to graphics, audio clips, and editorial content, contain proprietary information and material that is owned by Apple and/or its licensors, and is protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws, including but not limited to copyright, and that you will not use such proprietary information or materials in any way whatsoever except for permitted use of the Services or in any manner that is inconsistent with the terms of this License or that infringes any intellectual property rights of a third party or Apple. No portion of the Services may be reproduced in any form or by any means. You agree not to modify, rent, lease, loan, sell, distribute, or create derivative works based on the Services, in any manner, and you shall not exploit the Services in any unauthorized way whatsoever, including but not limited to, using the Services to transmit any computer viruses, worms, trojan horses or other malware, or by trespass or burdening network capacity. You further agree not to use the Services in any manner to harass, abuse, stalk, threaten, defame or otherwise infringe or violate the rights of any other party, and that Apple is not in any way responsible for any such use by you, nor for any harassing, threatening, defamatory, offensive, infringing or illegal messages or transmissions that you may receive as a result of using any of the Services.

 

In addition, Services that may be accessed from the Pre-Release Software are not available in all languages or in all countries or regions. Apple makes no representation that such Services are appropriate or available for use in any particular location. To the extent you choose to access such Services, you do so at your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with any applicable laws, including but not limited to applicable local laws.

 

Apple and its licensors reserve the right to change, suspend, remove, or disable access to any Services at any time without notice. In no event will Apple be liable for the removal of or disabling of access to any such Services. Apple may also impose limits on the use of or access to certain Services, in any case and without notice or liability.

 

3. Confidentiality.  You agree that the Pre-Release Software and services licensed hereunder and all information disclosed by Apple to you that relates to Apple's products, designs, business plans, business opportunities, finances, research, development, know-how, personnel, or third-party confidential information disclosed to you by Apple, will be considered and referred to collectively as "Confidential Information". Confidential Information, however, does not include: (a) information that is now or subsequently becomes generally available to the public through no fault or breach on your part in a manner that is lawful or authorized by Apple; (b) information that you can demonstrate to have had rightfully in your possession prior to disclosure to you by Apple; (c) information that is independently developed by you without the use of any Confidential Information; (d) information that you rightfully obtain from a third party who has been given the right to transfer or disclose it by Apple; or (e) any third party software and/or documentation provided by Apple and accompanied by licensing terms that do not impose confidentiality obligations on the use or disclosure of such software and/or documentation, for example, software governed by the GNU General Public License ("GPL"). You agree not to disclose, publish, or disseminate Confidential Information to anyone other than those of your employees and contractors with a demonstrable need to know who have binding, written, confidentiality obligations to you that protect such Confidential Information against unauthorized disclosure. You further agree to take reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use, disclosure, publication, or dissemination of Confidential Information. You agree not to use Confidential Information otherwise for your own or any third party's benefit without the prior written approval of an authorized representative of Apple in each instance.

 

4. Consent to Use of Data.

You agree that Apple and its subsidiaries may collect and use technical and related information, including but not limited to technical information about your computer, system and application software, and peripherals, that is gathered periodically to facilitate the provision of software updates, product support and other services to you (if any) related to the Pre-Release Software, and to verify compliance with the terms of this License. Apple may use this information, as long as it is in a form that does not personally identify you, to improve our products or to provide services or technologies to you. 

 

5. Term of License. The term of this License shall commence upon your installation or use of the Pre-Release Software and will terminate automatically without notice from Apple upon the next commercial release of the Pre-Release Software, or on March 31, 2012, whichever occurs first.

THIS LIMITED WARRANTY AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES ON THE MEDIA INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, AND OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO NINETY (90) DAYS FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL RETAIL PURCHASE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
