Further Assistance - Activation

There are three activation numbers associated with your Spyder / SpyderPRO.

Hardware Serial

The hardware serial is linked with your Spyder device. You'll find your hardware serial number on the USB connection of your Spyder / SpyderPRO.

Serial Number

You'll only need your serial number once to register your Spyder / SpyderPRO device with the Spyder / SpyderPRO software.

License Code

Once you register your Spyder / SpyderPRO software, the combination of Serial Number and Hardware Serial results in a license code. You can then activate your Spyder / SpyderPRO on different computers, a registration is no longer needed.

IMPORTANT: READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. BY CLICKING ON THE "YES" BUTTON, INSTALLING, COPYING OR OTHERWISE USING THE DATACOLOR SOFTWARE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE, CLICK ON THE "NO" BUTTON AND DO NOT INSTALL, COPY OR OTHERWISE USE THE DATACOLOR SOFTWARE.

This license agreement ("License") is a legal agreement between you and Datacolor, Inc. ("Datacolor") granting you certain rights to access and use the Datacolor Software owned by Datacolor and contained in this envelope (the "Software"). YOU HEREBY AGREE, BOTH ON YOUR OWN BEHALF AND AS AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY ORGANIZATION FOR WHICH YOU ARE USING THE SOFTWARE ("EMPLOYER"), THAT YOU AND YOUR EMPLOYER WILL USE THE SOFTWARE ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING TERMS:

1. LIMITED WARRANTY on Media (if applicable).

Datacolor warrants the media on which the Software is recorded to be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of original retail purchase.

Your exclusive remedy under this paragraph shall be, at Datacolor's option, a refund of the purchase price of the product containing the Software or replacement of the Software which is returned to Datacolor or a Datacolor authorized representative with a copy of the receipt. Datacolor, 5 Princess Road, Lawrenceville, NJ 08648, Attn: Customer Service, or call 1-800-554-8688 for a Datacolor authorized representative.

THIS LIMITED WARRANTY AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES ON THE MEDIA INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO NINETY (90) DAYS FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL RETAIL PURCHASE.

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so this limitation may not apply to you. The Limited Warranty set forth herein is exclusive and in lieu of all others, whether oral or written, express or implied.

DATACOLOR SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WITH RESPECT TO MEDIA. This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

2. Disclaimer of Warranty on Software.

You expressly acknowledge and agree that use of the Software is at your sole risk.

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.

Datacolor does not warrant that the functions contained in the Software will meet your requirements, or that the operation of the Software will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that defects in the Software will be corrected. Furthermore, Datacolor does not warrant or make any representation regarding the use or the results of the use of the Software or related documentation in terms of their correctness, accuracy, reliability or otherwise. Should the Software prove defective, you (and not Datacolor or a Datacolor authorized representative) assume the entire cost of all necessary servicing, repair or correction. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. The terms of this disclaimer do not affect or prejudice the statutory rights of a consumer acquiring Datacolor products otherwise than in the course of a business; neither do they limit or exclude any liability for death or personal injury caused by Datacolor's negligence.

If you have purchased the Software for business or commercial use, you also agree that DATACOLOR EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTIBILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE.

3. Limitation of Liability.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, SHALL DATACOLOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LICENSE OR THE SOFTWARE.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages so the above limitation may not apply to you. In no event shall Datacolor's total liability to you for all damages exceed the amount of fifty dollars ($50.00). The foregoing limitation will apply even if the above stated remedy fails of its essential purpose.

4. License Grant.
