17.2.3. WARRANTY.

17.2.3.1. This Agreement will not prejudice the statutory rights of any party, including those dealing as consumers. If You obtained the Product in the European Economic Area (EEA), You usually resides in the EEA and You are a consumer (that is its use of the Software is for personal, non-business related purposes), then Section 8.1 (LIMITED WARRANTY ON MEDIA) does not apply to Your purchase and use of the Product. Instead, Foxit warrants for a period of 2 years from purchase that the Product provides the functionalities set forth in the applicable documentations (the “agreed upon functionalities”) when used on the Compatible Computer. Non-substantial variation from the agreed upon functionalities will not establish any warranty rights. THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO PRODUCT THAT YOU USE ON A PRE-RELEASE, TRYOUT, STARTER, OR PRODUCT SAMPLER BASIS, OR TO THE EXTENT THE PRODUCT FAILS TO PERFORM BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN ALTERED BY YOU. To make a warranty claim, You must notify the Foxit during this period, providing details of proof of purchase of the Product. Foxit will verify with You whether there is a defect in the Product or advise You that the error arises because You has not installed the Product correctly (in which case, Foxit shall assist You). If there is a defect in the Product, You may request from Foxit either a refund or a repaired or replacement copy of the Product. Requests must be accompanied by proof of purchase. In the event Your warranty details are substantiated, Foxit will meet Your request for repaired or replacement Product, unless it is not reasonable for Foxit to do so, in which case Foxit will provide You with a refund.

17.2.3.2. Please note that the provisions of Section 8 will continue to apply to any damages claims You make in respect of its use of the Product. Nonetheless, You shall be liable for direct losses that are reasonably foreseeable in the event of a breach by Foxit of this Agreement. You are advised to take all reasonable measures to avoid and reduce damages, in particular by making back-up copies of the Product and its computer data.

17.2.4. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION. For end users in EEA, this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the German laws excluding that body of laws known as conflicts of law. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply. Any legal action or proceeding arising under this Agreement will be brought exclusively in the German courts and the parties hereby irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue therein.

17.2.5. This Agreement, and in particular this Section 17.2, is intended to describe Your rights (including its statutory rights) in the event there should be problems with its use of the Product. If Your statutory rights are greater than this description, its statutory rights shall apply.

17.2.6. Nothing included in this Agreement (including Section 16) shall limit any non-waivable right to decompile the Product that You may enjoy under applicable law. For example, if You are located in the European Union (EU), You may have the right upon certain conditions specified in the applicable law to decompile the Product if it is necessary to do so in order to achieve interoperability of the Product with another software program, and You have first asked Foxit in writing to provide the information necessary to achieve such interoperability and Foxit has not made such information available. In addition, such decompilation may only be performed by You. Foxit has the right to impose reasonable conditions before providing such information. Any information supplied by Foxit or obtained by You, as permitted hereunder, may only be used by You for the purpose described herein and may not be disclosed to any third party or used to create any software that is substantially similar to the expression of the Product or used for any other act that infringes the copyright of Foxit or its licensors.
