4. Third Party Software. “Third Party Software” is software, including open source software, that is contained in or provided with the Software and is licensed by a third party under its own terms of use (“Third Party Terms”).

Roland may terminate this EULA if You or a Permitted Third Party commits a material breach of this EULA and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days following Your receipt of notice of the breach from Roland.

Rights and obligations under Sections of this EULA that, by their nature should survive, will survive termination, as well as obligations for payment.

9. Warranty Disclaimer. Under this EULA, Roland provides neither any warranties for the Software nor does it provide support for the Software. Your rights under any warranties and any support entitlements for Software acquired for a fee are solely between You and the Reseller or Roland entity from whom You procured the Software and related support, and are defined under the commercial terms agreed between You and such selling entity. Accordingly, except as otherwise offered by Roland, the Software is provided by Roland under this EULA “As Is” without any warranties or conditions. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Roland, on behalf of itself and its affiliates and suppliers: (a) makes no express warranties or conditions related to the Software; (b) disclaims all implied warranties and conditions related to the Software, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement; and (c) disclaims any warranty or condition arising by statute, operation of law, course of dealing or performance, or usage of trade. Roland does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of the Software. This Section does not affect or modify any of the statutory warranty rights that are available to consumers.

10. Limitation of Liability.

10.1. Limitations on Damages. The limitations, exclusions and disclaimers set forth in a Pre-Existing Agreement or Roland Terms of Sale that applies your Order (in each case, the “Order Terms”) shall apply to all disputes, claims or controversies (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) between You and Roland or Roland related to or arising out of: (a) this EULA; (b) the breach, termination or validity of this EULA; or (c) any Orders (each, a “Dispute”). In the absence of applicable Order Terms, the terms set forth in this Section shall apply to all Disputes.

The terms of this Section are agreed allocations of risk constituting part of the consideration for Roland’s licensing of Software to You and will apply even if there is a failure of the essential purpose of any limited remedy, and regardless of whether a party has been advised of the possibility of the liabilities. If applicable law prohibits any portion of the limits on liability stated below, the parties agree that such limitation will be automatically modified, but only to the extent required to make the limitation compliant with applicable law.

A. Limitation on Direct Damages. Except for Your obligation to pay for the Software, or for Your violation of the License Grant and License Conditions set forth herein or of Roland’s or Roland’s intellectual property rights, the total liability of You and Roland (including Roland’s affiliates and suppliers) arising out of any Dispute is limited to the amount You paid for the Software that is the subject of the Dispute, but excluding amounts received as reimbursement of expenses or payment of taxes. Notwithstanding anything otherwise set forth above, Roland and its affiliates have no liability for any direct damages resulting from Your use or attempted use of Third Party Software, Free Software or Development Tools.

B. Disclaimer of Certain Other Damages. Except for Your obligation to pay for the Software, or for Your violation of the License Grant and License Conditions set forth herein or of Roland’s or Roland’s intellectual property rights, neither You nor Roland (including Roland’s affiliates and suppliers) shall have any liability under this EULA for special, consequential, exemplary, punitive, incidental or indirect damages, or for lost profits, loss of revenue, loss or corruption of data, loss of use or procurement of substitute products or services.

10.2. Regular Backups. You are solely responsible for Your data. You must back up Your data before Roland or a third party performs any remedial, upgrade or other work on Your production systems. You acknowledge that it is a best practice to have more than one back up copy of Your data. If applicable law prohibits exclusion of liability for lost data, then Roland will only be liable for the cost of the typical effort to recover the lost data from Your last available back up.

10.3. Limitation Period. Except as stated in this Section, all claims must be made within the period specified by applicable law. If the law allows the parties to specify a shorter period for bringing claims, or the law does not provide a time at all, then claims must be made within 18 months after the cause of action accrues.

11. Additional Terms.

11.1. Notices. The parties will provide all notices under this EULA in writing. Unless provided otherwise in an Order, You must provide notices to the local Roland entity in Your Order, or, if Your Order is not with a Roland entity, by e-mail to at webmaster@rolandus.com.

11.2. Waiver and Severability. Failure to enforce a provision of this EULA will not constitute a waiver of that or any other provision of this EULA. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any part of this EULA or document that incorporates this EULA by reference is unenforceable, that ruling will not affect the validity of all remaining parts.

11.3. Modifications. This EULA may only be modified in writing signed by both parties; provided, however, that Roland may, in its sole discretion, update the Roland Subscription Terms at any time. Any changes that Roland makes to the the Subscription Terms will only apply to Orders that occur after Roland posts those changes online.

11.4. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. If You obtained the Software directly from Roland, then the governing law and jurisdiction of the state of California apply without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.  This Section 11.4 does not deprive You of the protection afforded to You by the provisions of mandatory consumer protections laws that are applicable to You, nor does it prevent you from seeking remedies or enforcing your rights as a consumer under such laws.

11.5. Dispute Resolution and Binding Individual (non-class) Arbitration.  All Disputes shall be resolved exclusively and finally by binding individual arbitration. This means You and Roland waive any right to litigate disputes in a court or before a jury and neither You nor Roland shall be entitled to join, consolidate, or include any claims belonging to or alleged or arising from, by or on behalf of any third party to an arbitration brought hereunder, or to arbitrate any claim as a class action, class representative, class member, or in a private attorney general capacity. If You reside in (or obtained the Software in) the United States, the arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA), or JAMS.  The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language. The arbitration panel shall have exclusive authority to resolve any arbitrability issues including any dispute over this EULA or this arbitration provision’s scope, application, meaning and enforceability. The arbitration panel shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court, including without limitation preliminary relief, injunctive relief and specific performance. Any award of the arbitration panel shall be final and binding immediately when rendered, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If any portion of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable portion shall be severed and the remaining arbitration terms shall be enforced (but in no event will there be a class arbitration).

11.6. Third Party Rights. Other than as expressly set out in this EULA, this EULA does not create any rights for any person who is not a party to it, and no person who is not a party to this EULA may enforce any of its terms or rely on any exclusion or limitation contained in it.

11.7 Entire Agreement. You acknowledge that You have read this EULA, that You understand it, that You agree to be bound by its terms, and that this EULA, along with the Order Terms into which this EULA may be incorporated (as applicable), is the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between You and Roland regarding Your use of the Software.
