3. More Do's and Don'ts
3.1 This Licence allows you to install and use Kazaa on a single computer. This Licence does not permit you to install the Software on more than one computer at a time. You may make copies of the Software in machine-readable form for backup purposes only. The backup copy must include all copyright information contained on the original.
3.2 Except as expressly permitted in this Licence, you agree not to reverse engineer, de-compile, disassemble, alter, duplicate, modify, rent, lease, loan, sublicense, make copies, create derivative works from, distribute or provide others with the Software in whole or part, transmit or communicate the application over a network.
3.3 You may not sell, transfer or communicate the Software to any third party without our prior express written consent.
3.4 You may not use, test or otherwise utilize the Software in any manner for purposes of developing or implementing any method or application that is intended to monitor or interfere with the functioning of the Software.
3.5 You may not through the use of any third party software application, alter or modify the values stored by the Software in your computer's memory, on your computer's hard disk, or in your computer's registry, or, with the exception of completely uninstalling the Software, otherwise modify, alter or block the functioning of the Software.
3.6 You may not use unlicensed or unauthorized copies of the Software to obtain information about other users of the Software or for any other purpose.
4. Things You Need To Know When Using Kazaa
4.1 You are responsible for paying all applicable taxes and other costs you may incur in connection with your use of the Software including but not limited to all hardware and software costs and providing all equipment and software necessary to connect to our web site and to use the Software via the Internet and any royalties or other charges relating to the use of data owned by third parties.
4.2 Sharman may from time to time present programming fixes, updates and upgrades to you, including version updates to the Software. You may accept or reject such programming fixes, updates and upgrades to you, including version updates at your sole discretion.
4.3 Installation. When you install the Software, the install program, e.g. kmd260_en.exe, is saved to your My Shared Folder and shared out to other users. You understand and agree that other users may download this file from your computer and by doing so your Internet connection will be used. If you do not want this to happen, you can delete the file or right click the file and select 'Do Not Share This File'.
4.4 My Shared Folder. By saving a file in My Shared Folder, you understand that it will be available for any other user of Kazaa and compatible programs. These users may find your files and subsequently download them from you. By doing so your Internet connection is being used.
The Software provides options regarding sharing:
* To disable sharing go to Tools->Options->Traffic and check Disable Sharing
* To disable sharing of selected files right click the file in My Kazaa and select Stop Sharing this file. The Kazaa program is a "peer-to-peer" program; this means that it communicates with other peers (other Kazaa or compatible programs). Other users may download files that you have stored in the My Shared Folder and other folders you have selected to be shared. Don't share files which are confidential, such as financial information, or which you do not have the right to distribute.
While your copy of Kazaa is communicating with other peers it receives information of the status of interconnected peers, that information is stored on your computer.
4.5 SuperNode. Your copy of the Software may serve as a SuperNode. The selection process is automated. When your computer is a SuperNode other peers will upload an index of files they are sharing to your computer and they will send search queries to your computer. Your computer will reply to these requests and also forward the request to other SuperNodes.
If you do not want to serve as a SuperNode go to Tools -> Options -> Advanced and check 'Do not function as a SuperNode'. When you are a SuperNode your CPU and Internet connection is being used, but not more than 10% of the resources will be used.

5. Installation, Operation and Removal.
The My Search Application does not collect any unique information about you (such as your name, email address, etc.). Further, the My Search Application does not: (i) collect or report back to My Search any information about sites you visit on the Internet; (ii) collect or "screen-scrape" any search queries or information that you provide to any web sites; (iii) serve pop-ups when you are on other websites; or (iv) collect or report back to My Search any data regarding your computer keystrokes or other data unrelated to the services the My Search Application provides. My Search may obtain unique information about you through use of the My Search Application or website only if you specifically and knowingly provide such information in connection with personalizing the My Search Hub (an Internet portal which may be linked to from the My Search Application) or if you contact My Search directly with a question or comment.
In connection with the delivery of search services and content, the My Search Application does communicate with our servers and use cookies. All such activities are conducted strictly on a non-personally identifiable basis, as described in greater detail below.
The My Search Application, in the course of processing a given search query, sends a request to our servers. This request includes the keyword query, time of day, browser type, default language setting, IP address, an anonymous unique ID, and a code which identifies the distribution source of the My Search Application used by you to conduct your search. If the search query is being generated as the result of a misspelled URL or search term entered in to the browser address bar, we also receive the misspelled URL address or search term. We use this information in order to properly process your search request. For example, this data provides us with: information on which language you prefer to use; aggregated click information for the purpose of ensuring that our search partners are appropriately compensating us; information that allows us to make accurate payments to our distributors; aggregated usage and retention information; and aggregated search query information for the purpose of further monetizing commercially oriented search keywords.
Importantly, all information collected from a search query is recorded on a non-personally identifiable basis and is kept strictly anonymous. In addition, all information about search activity is evaluated only on an aggregated basis (except in response to a customer service inquiry or legal process), and we do not disclose any non-aggregated information to third parties, except as required by a valid legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order, or to protect someone's safety.
My Search also uses "cookies". We do this for two reasons. First, we use the cookies to store a code designating a distribution source for each My Search Application. This information allows us to properly distinguish My Search Applications for purposes of compensating third parties who distribute our product and to analyze retention and usage on an aggregated basis. Second, the My Search Application uses cookies to store user preferences. For example, we use a cookie to record which search engine you have selected as your default provider. We do not use cookies to track your use of the Internet in any other way or to store any personally- identifiable information, and we do not disclose cookie information to third parties, except as required by a valid legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order or to protect someone's safety.
The My Search Application also sends a configuration request when you start your browser. This request is approximately 5k in size and includes only anonymous data such as IP address, browser type, and information about the specific release date and distribution source of your My Search Application, as outlined above. Again, all of this information is kept strictly anonymous, is non-personally identifiable, and is used only for purposes of delivering search services and content in accordance with your preferences and providing us with data on an aggregated basis relating to retention, usage, and monetization.
The My Search Application is also subject to the My Search Privacy Policy, located at http://www.mysearch.com/jsp/privacy.jsp.
If you wish to withdraw your consent to the communication and data usage as described herein, you should uninstall any and all My Search Applications from your computer. You may uninstall or remove the My Search Application at any time by using the Windows add/remove programs function to remove the "My Search Bar" and "Search Assistant - My Search" programs, or following the instructions listed on our website at http://help.mysearch.com/searchbar.html#q4.
You understand, acknowledge and agree that the My Search Application includes software that allows us to distribute updates and fixes. Such updates will occur only upon prior notice to you, except for the limited case where notice is not possible due to technical problems or an emergency that requires us to update the application in order to maintain existing functionality or to comply with the law. All such updates shall be governed by and made in compliance with this Agreement and the My Search Privacy Policy.
6. Your Obligations
You represent and warrant that you are either the owner or an authorized user of the computer where the My Search Application is installed. The services described herein are subject to, and you agree that you shall at all times comply with, all local, state, national, and international laws, statutes, rules, regulations, ordinances and the like applicable to use of the My Search services and My Search Application.
7. Access and Interference
You agree that you will not use any robot, spider, other automatic or manual device or process to interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of any of our My Search Applications, services or content, except to remove our My Search Applications from a computer of which you are an owner or authorized user. We reserve the right to investigate occurrences which may involve such violations, and may involve, and cooperate with, law enforcement authorities in prosecuting users who have participated in such violations. You agree that it is your responsibility to install anti-virus software and related protections against viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancelbots or other techniques that may have the effect of damaging, destroying, disrupting or otherwise impairing a computer's functionality or operation.
8. Electronic Signatures and Agreements

Pursuant to any applicable statutes, regulations, rules, ordinances or other laws, including without limitation the United States Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, P.L. 106-229 (the "E-Sign Act") or other similar statutes, YOU HEREBY AGREE TO THE USE OF ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES, CONTRACTS, ORDERS AND OTHER RECORDS AND TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF NOTICES, POLICIES AND RECORDS OF TRANSACTIONS INITIATED OR COMPLETED THROUGH THE MY SEARCH APPLICATION OR SERVICES OFFERED BY MY SEARCH. Further, you hereby waive any rights or requirements under any statutes, regulations, rules, ordinances or other laws in any jurisdiction which require an original signature or delivery or retention of non-electronic records, or to payments or the granting of credits by other than electronic means.
9. Disclaimer of Warranty

SOLELY TO THE EXTENT THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS, FOR ANY REASON, HELD TO BE INAPPLICABLE OR UNENFORCEABLE IN WHOLE OR IN PART, THEN MY SEARCH'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY, FOR ANY REASON AND FOR ANY CAUSE OF ACTION AND ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES OR THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE LESSER OF DAMAGES ACTUALLY INCURRED OR THE AVERAGE REVENUE RECEIVED BY MY SEARCH PER USER OF THE MY SEARCH APPLICATION PER MONTH AS CALCULATED BY MY SEARCH BASED ON THE USE OF THE MY SEARCH APPLICATIONS (AND NOT OTHER PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OFFERED BY MY SEARCH) MULTIPLIED BY THE NUMBER OF COMPLETE MONTHS YOU HAVE BEEN A MY SEARCH APPLICATION USER.

Privacy Statement and End User License Agreement ('Terms and Conditions')
--- Privacy Statement --- Introduction GAIN Publishing ('GP') and the GAIN Network provide personal computer users with a valuable proposition: the ability to obtain Kazaa Media Desktop software, valued at up to $30, free-of-charge or at a reduced cost in exchange for users' agreement to accept advertising and other promotional messages delivered by the GAIN Network to users' personal computers. These ads and promotional messages may be displayed on computer screens at any time while users are online, however, they will not be displayed in the Kazaa Media Desktop window. Downloading or installing this ad-supported software application requires acceptance of these Terms and Conditions which allows GP to download and install the 'GAIN AdServer' software. GAIN AdServer software, described in detail below, delivers 'GAIN' branded advertising, and various informational or promotional messages to computer screens while users view Internet Web pages ('GAIN Ads'). The "GAIN Network" is an advertising network that delivers advertisements from the GAIN Network's advertising clients to users of GAIN Supported Software, defined below ("Subscribers").
The GAIN AdServer is patent-pending technology that identifies the interests of anonymous Subscribers based on some of their computer usage and some of their web surfing behavior, including the URLs of Web pages viewed by Subscribers and other criteria as set forth in this Privacy Statement but which does not collect ANY personally identifying information. The GAIN AdServer displays GAIN Ads on computer screens on behalf of the GAIN Networks' advertising clients and not on behalf of the Web site the Subscriber may be viewing when the ad appears. The GAIN Network's advertising clients may be competitors of the publishers whose Web pages Subscribers may be viewing, or may have recently viewed. GAIN Ads are distinguishable from other ads or messages because all GAIN Ads contain the trademark "GAIN" in the title bar and/or the GAIN logo in the ad.
GAIN-Supported Software includes both software applications published by GP (GP GAIN-Supported Software), as well as software applications developed by other companies (Third Party GAIN- Supported Software); At any time, you can see a list of all GAIN- Supported Software residing on a computer by directing that computer's Internet browser to http://webpdp.gator.com/gain/kmd/60/about-gain-01.html.
Unless otherwise specified, these Terms and Conditions constitute your agreement with GP for use of the GAIN AdServer software.
The Details We don't know who our users are... GP does not know the identity of GAIN-Supported Software users (GP's "Subscribers"). We do not transmit to our servers personally identifiable information like email addresses, last name, street addresses, or phone numbers. Nor do we have any other sensitive or personal financial information, such as credit card numbers, login IDs, passwords or bank account numbers.
Here's what we do know... While we don't know the identity of Subscribers, the GAIN AdServer and GP collect the following kinds of anonymous information:
- Some of the Web pages viewed - The amount of time spent at some Web sites - Some click history including responses to online ads - Standard web log information and system settings (except that IP addresses are not stored) - Non-personally identifiable information on Web pages
For more information, http://www.gainpublishing.com/help/psdocs/kmd/60/datause.html, incorporated herein by reference, provides a more detailed description of the information collected by GP and how it is used.
Here's what we do with it We associate the anonymous information we collect with a particular computer through a randomly generated Anonymous ID number to create an anonymous profile of: (a) the categories of products or services in which Subscribers appear to be interested; and (b) inferences regarding certain anonymous Subscriber demographics, such as, gender, age, marital status, postal/ZIP code, etc. We use this anonymous profile in order to select GAIN Ads to display to Subscribers' computer screens and to make GAIN Ads more interesting and relevant to Subscribers.
GAIN Ads may be displayed on behalf of advertisers who may be competitors of the publishers of the Web pages you are viewing or have recently viewed.
Any information provided to any GP employees or contractors, such as our technical support department, may be stored on our servers in archives of our support and customer service department. This information, however, will not be associated with the information we may store and use listed above.
We share certain anonymous information we collect in aggregated form with some of our partners and prospective partners. For example, we might tell a merchant that we have 50,000 Subscribers who buy books. We do not disclose information associated with any individual Subscribers to partners (or anyone else). Our partners may use this anonymous aggregated information to improve their services, and may, in some cases, share this anonymous aggregated information with third parties such as their customers.
We sometimes use third party contractors who may be given access to any non-personally identifiable information we have so they may perform tasks that might otherwise be done by our employees. These contractors, however, have no rights to use such information for purposes other than those described herein; and they are subject to the same restrictions as our employees. In the event that GP merges with another company, transfers or sells substantially all of its assets or capital stock to a third party, all collected information would be included in the merger, transfer or sale and that company would be bound by these Terms and Conditions just as we are bound today.
If legally required to do so, we will disclose to a third party any information we have.
GAIN Ads contain the GAIN name and/or logo... GAIN Ads contain the name 'GAIN' in the title bar and/or the GAIN logo in the advertisement. The GAIN brand is displayed to inform Subscribers that GAIN Ads come from GP via the GAIN Network and are not associated, sponsored, or affiliated in any way with any other Web pages being viewed by Subscribers. The logo and/or GAIN name distinguishes GAIN Ads from all other advertisements.
How we display GAIN Ads GAIN Ads will only be displayed on a computer's screen or storage media if one or more GAIN-Supported Software programs reside on that computer. Many GAIN Ads are displayed on computer screens on behalf of advertisers who compete with the company whose Web pages Subscribers may be viewing or may have recently viewed.
GP displays GAIN Ads on computer screens in a variety of ways. The GAIN Ad formats we may use include, among others, the following:
- Pop-Up Windows appear as windows on top of or beneath other windows on the computer screen. - Pop-Up Slider Windows appear as floating images on top other windows on the computer screen.
http://www.gainpublishing.com/about/kmd/60/index.html incorporated herein by reference, more fully describes some of these GAIN Ad formats.
How to Control the Display of GAIN Ads... Some GAIN ad formats offer Subscriber preference settings that allow Subscribers to control some aspects of the display of GAIN Ads. These Subscriber preference settings may be found by clicking on the question mark (?) box at the top right of the title bar of certain GAIN Ads.
How to Stop the Display of GAIN Ads To stop GAIN Ads from being displayed one must remove all of the GAIN-Supported Software applications residing on the computer using the Add/Remove Programs menu in the Microsoft Windows control panel. Subscribers can view a list of all GAIN-Supported Software on their computer, along with removal instructions, in a variety of locations including: (i) through the start, programs, GAIN, About GAIN menu entry (via a hypertext link), (ii) by clicking on the question (?) box at the top right of the title bar of certain GAIN Ads, and (iii) via GP's web site http://webpdp.gator.com/gain/kmd/60/about-gain-01.html.
How the GAIN AdServer Works When running on a computer, the GAIN AdServer regularly communicates with GP servers, and in some cases, third party servers, among other reasons, to:
1. maintain/update the GAIN AdServer; 2. facilitate installing and removing the GAIN-Supported Software or the GAIN AdServer; 3. retrieve content and ads for display; 4. facilitate various GAIN AdServer features as contained in this Privacy Statement; and/or 5. collect anonymous Subscriber computer usage information as contained in this Privacy Statement.
http://www.gainpublishing.com/help/psdocs/kmd/60/communications. html, incorporated herein by reference, provides more detail regarding communications between a computer and other computers arising from use of the GAIN AdServer.
How we use cookies and web beacons? The GAIN AdServer uses cookies for the following purposes:
- To identify the business associate that was responsible for introducing GAIN-Supported Software so that we can pay that business associate a fee which is why the software is available to Subscribers for free; - To assist us in identifying Subscribers who have purchased a license to GAIN-Supported Software; - To identify the GAIN-Supported Software on the computer; and/or - To limit how often we display GAIN Ads.
In order to enable authorized third parties to display targeted ads and informational messages on our behalf, the GAIN AdServer may read cookie information that those third parties stored on the computer. That information may be sent to our servers so that we can include it in advertisement display requests that we send to those third parties. Please note that when any third party service providers, such as ad serving companies, set and access cookies at our request, they do so in accordance with their own privacy statements.
http://www.gainpublishing.com/help/psdocs/kmd/60/thirdparties.html, incorporated herein by reference, provides a list of any third parties who set and access cookies on the computer in order to facilitate a feature or service associated with GAIN-Supported Software. This list also includes links to their privacy statements.
Third party service providers that serve ads to Internet users, at our request, may use web beacons. Some GAIN Ads include "web beacons," which allow third party service providers to access cookies on a computer to target ads and provide campaign analysis for their clients who use our services. Some third party service providers who access cookies in this way allow Internet users to opt-out of their use of these cookies.
http://www.gainpublishing.com/help/psdocs/kmd/60/naisite.html, is a third party Web site that allows Internet users to inform some advertisers they wish to revoke the right of those advertisers to access cookies on a computer.
Some third parties offer visitors the opportunity to download GP GAIN-Supported Software from their Web sites. GP hosts some of the Web pages for these third parties. We use web beacons on these pages to count the number of people who have viewed these pages so that we can pay the third parties for any downloads of GP GAIN-Supported Software that originate from their Web sites.
How do we use optional surveys? From time to time, we may display a GAIN branded pop-up advertisement from Feedback Research, a division of GP, inviting Subscribers to join a survey panel or participate in a survey. A survey panel is a group of people that meet a certain criteria that are periodically asked for their opinions. Participation in a survey panel is completely voluntary and optional.
Eligibility for joining a panel or taking a survey may require a person to answer demographic 'screening' questions such as gender, age, employment status, income range, educational level, head of household, the number of people in their family, and/or whether they own or rent their home. Answers to these screening questions and/or to the Feedback Research survey questions are often stored on Feedback Research servers, and anonymous individual responses to these questions may be provided to our clients. Answers to both screening questions and survey questions may be associated with an Anonymous ID, but not with a Subscriber's identity which remains unknown to Feedback Research and GP.
Finally, Feedback Research may offer Subscribers the opportunity to provide an email address in order to enter a sweepstakes. The sole purpose of collecting this email is to contact them if they win. To ensure their privacy, any email address provided to Feedback Research for this reason are sent directly to a third party contractors' servers to ensure they are stored separate from, and cannot be associated in any way with, Anonymous IDs or the answers to Feedback Research screening or survey questions.
Changes to our Privacy Statement and End User License Agreement If these Terms and Conditions change in the future, we will not, collect, use, or store any personally identifiable information without first obtaining permission. As we issue subsequent revisions to these Terms and Conditions that do not involve personally identifiable information, we will provide notice by displaying an online pop-up message. We will also continue to publish the current Terms and Conditions on our web site. If GP merges or is acquired by another company (a "Purchaser"), or all or substantially all of its assets are purchased by another company (an "Asset Purchaser"), the information that GP collects as described in this Privacy Statement will be transferred to and owned by the Purchaser or the Asset Purchaser as the case may be.
