YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PRODUCT IS DISTRIBUTED AS IS AND OUTBYTE IN NO WAY GUARANTEES THAT IT WILL OPERATE UNINTERRUPTED OR BE ERROR FREE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE EXISTENCE OF ANY ERRORS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT.
YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT GOOD DATA PROCESSING PROCEDURES DICTATE THAT ANY PRODUCT BE THOROUGHLY TESTED WITH NON-CRITICAL DATA BEFORE RELYING ON IT. YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE RISK OF USING THE PRODUCT. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE EXERCISED YOUR INDEPENDENT JUDGEMENT IN LICENSING THE PRODUCT AND HAVE NOT RELIED ON ANY REPRESENTATION MADE BY OUTBYTE WHICH HAS NOT BEEN STATED EXPRESSLY IN THIS AGREEMENT OR UPON ANY DESCRIPTIONS OR ILLUSTRATIONS OR SPECIFICATIONS CONTAINED IN ANY DOCUMENT INCLUDING PUBLICITY MATERIAL PRODUCED BY OUTBYTE.
OUTBYTE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES MADE IN REGARDS TO THE AMOUNT OF PERFORMANCE, STABILITY, PRIVACY OR SECURITY IMPROVEMENT PROVIDED BY THE PRODUCT. A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF EFFORT WAS INVESTED IN CREATING THE PRODUCT THAT WILL BENEFIT THE CUSTOMER HOWEVER THE ULTIMATE BENEFIT ON EACH COMPUTER VARIES.

OTHER THAN IMPLIED BY LAW, THE WARRANTIES IN THIS CLAUSE REPRESENT ALL OF THE WARRANTIES GIVEN BY OUTBYTE AND NO TERM OR WARRANTY WILL BE IMPLIED.
7. LIMITATIONS OF THE PRODUCT
The Product will automatically run a full system scan after installation. Subsequent scans will be launched by user as needed.
The problems detected and displayed by the Product are the result of the operation of algorithms developed based on the knowledge of computer experts. While the Product is often effective at identifying and repairing issues negatively affecting system performance, stability, privacy, security and other areas, there are numerous factors negatively affecting any particular computer system that the Product may not be able to identify or repair. As such you acknowledge and agree that computer performance and other areas may not improve until all problems affecting these areas are addressed. Sometimes these may be hardware issues that may not be addressed by a software solution at all.
The Product may detect issues naturally occurring during routine use of the operating system. Some issues may not pose privacy or security risk or have a signiï¬cant impact on the system performance and operation while other issues may consistently reappear and end up being repeatedly detected by the Product.
The Product may label certain issues as high risk / high severity / high impact or similar. This is done for your convenience and is based on the expert knowledge to date. The label may not accurately predict or describe the impact an issue may have on your computer system. Computer systems are inherently very complex and even a fresh install of an operating system may contain broken registry shortcuts, abandoned ï¬les and other items that may be flagged by the Product. In some rare cases, the Product may identify and mark for deletion certain ï¬les, folders, registry entries, settings and other items that may be critical for the operation of your computer. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to review the scan results presented to you by the Product and decide if you want to proceed with repair. Outbyte therefore is not responsible for any damages to your computer or operating system, or loss of personal data or settings.
8. THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS
Certain software or services may be included, bundled, installed by or referenced by the Product, Outbyte websites, documentation or e-mail correspondence («Third Party Products»). Outbyte acts solely as a distributor or an advertising channel for Third Party Products. Such Third Party Products may be subject to different licence terms. Outbyte makes no representations or warranties regarding Third Party Products. By accepting this Agreement, you also agree that Outbyte is not responsible for any consequence of you installing and using Third Party Products. You will look solely to the Third Party Product providers for all such claims. The application supports silent installation, i.e. the application can be installed without displaying the installation windows and without showing prompts.
Outbyte software includes technologies developed by Auslogics Software Pty Ltd. and may include technologies developed by Driver Hive Bootstrap Development, LLC
9. LIVE SUPPORT TERMS
Outbyte may offer you live support (also referred to as technical support, live assistance, live help desk services and so on) over the phone and via live chat by showing PC Help Desk phone numbers and live chat links on the web site, in the Product and in e-mail correspondence. Telephone support is provided in English only, while live chat support may be offered in other languages with the help of automatic translation tools.
Problem diagnosis and assistance over the phone may require a technician logging in to your computer and you agree that by using PC Help Desk services, you are authorizing Outbyte (and third parties it contracts to offer live support) to access and control your computer, to configure your computer and devices, to delete ï¬les and folders deemed harmful or unnecessary, alter registry entries, install or remove device drivers or other packages, modify browser and Internet settings, use third party software for the purposes of diagnosis, repair and assistance, and make other changes required to offer you assistance, and you agree that you will not hold Outbyte liable for any harm or damage this may cause. Outbyte does not guarantee against the loss of data and you are solely responsible for backing up and safely storing all information, ï¬les and settings on your computer and devices. Technicians may use their expert knowledge or software in order to diagnose and repair your computer, but they may not be able to find or repair all issues that may affect the operation of your computer and you therefore acknowledge that the results may vary and are not guaranteed.
You also acknowledge and agree that while Outbyte makes reasonable effort to limit access by technicians to your personal data, by nature of providing the live support services, technicians may come across personal or private information on your computer. You agree that you will not hold Outbyte liable for technicians gaining knowledge of that information or potentially transmitting any information to Outbyte servers.
A paid licence to an Outbyte product entitles users to free telephone/chat support service for a term that depends on the software plan purchased. The free support term will not necessarily match the software licence subscription term, and may also be limited to a specific number of support sessions. Any free support plan limitations are specified at the time of software licence purchase. When the free support service limit is reached, you may still receive live telephone/chat support by purchasing a PC Help Desk plan. Support sessions are limited to technical support questions only. Outbyte reserves the right to restrict or terminate your access to PC Help Desk immediately if Outbyte determines, in its sole discretion, that you are abusing the PC Help Desk services. Only personal use of the PC Help Desk service by the software licence holder is allowed.
10. CONFIDENTIALITY
You may not, without the prior written approval of Outbyte, disclose Conï¬dential Information (as deï¬ned below). You will not be in breach of this Agreement in circumstances where you are legally compelled to disclose Conï¬dential Information.
You must take all reasonable steps to ensure that you, your employees and agents, and any sub-contractors engaged for the purposes of this Agreement, do not disclose Conï¬dential Information.
You may disclose Conï¬dential Information:
1. (a) to related companies, solicitors, auditors, insurers and accountants who require information for the purpose of this Agreement; or
2. (b) if required to disclose the information by law or the rules of any Stock Exchange.
This clause will survive the termination of this Agreement.
11. PRIVACY
You agree that Outbyte may collect and use information obtained and transmitted via the Product, Outbyte websites or in e-mail correspondence to provide you the required services and to further improve its products and services. The type of information Outbyte collects and processes is covered by the Privacy Policy available on the company website. The terms of the Privacy Policy and any future amendments are hereby incorporated by reference into this agreement. Third parties providing their services and goods to you including those bundled, advertised or referenced by Outbyte, may have their own privacy policies.
Outbyte products may retrieve information on third-party software being installed on your computer and track the location of all its files, which helps Outbyte ensure full removal of all leftover files if you uninstall such software later.
Outbyte products may collect information about drivers or the actual driver files installed on your PC to help improve driver database. Analysing collected compatibility information helps Outbyte select the most suitable drivers for each PC.
Your email address may be used to personalize Google ads based on your interests and interests of users similar to you.
Outbyte Licence orders are processed by Outbyte's online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all Outbyte orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns.
12. AUTOMATIC RENEWALS
When you purchase the Product, you are purchasing a subscription to the product for a ï¬xed term. At the end of each subscription period, you will receive an email notification to your last email on record. Online option to cancel subscription is provided together with your license key. Unless this Agreement is terminated, Outbyte will automatically renew the subscription at the end of each subscription term for another period (Renewal Term) by directly charging your account the current renewal price.
13. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
13.1 You acknowledge that the Product is the subject of intellectual property rights including copyright (the «Rights»). You shall not during or any time after the termination of this Agreement permit any act (including without limitation copying the Product except as permitted in this Agreement) which infringes those Rights. For the avoidance of doubt the Licence granted to you under this Agreement does not give you any right to use any trademarks of Outbyte associated with the Product.

16. BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
This Section 16 shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. If the laws of your jurisdiction prohibit the application of some or all of the provisions of this Section, such provisions will not apply to you. Hereby you agree to have any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Product (collectively, «Disputes») settled by binding individual arbitration before the American Arbitration Association («AAA») under the Federal Arbitration Act («FAA»), and not to sue in court in front of a judge or jury. The arbitrator’s decision will be ï¬nal except for a limited right of appeal under the FAA.
Exception. Each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.
Class Action Waiver. You agree that combining individual proceedings without the consent of all parties, class action lawsuits, class-wide arbitrations, private attorney-general actions, and any other proceeding where someone acts in a representative capacity, against Outbyte and any of Outbyte’s subsidiaries, related companies, afï¬liates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors and assigns under this Agreement or any prior agreements between us, shall not be allowed.
Arbitration Procedures. If you have a Dispute, you agree to send your claim to Outbyte customer support ï¬rst and give us 30 days to try and resolve it. If the Dispute is not resolved after 30 days, you may start arbitration. Any Dispute must be ï¬led for arbitration within 1 year from the date when the event giving rise to the Dispute occurred. The AAA will conduct any arbitration under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. To start arbitration, submit the form available at aka.ms/arbitration to the AAA; mail a copy to Outbyte. In a Dispute involving USD10,000 or less, any hearing will be by telephone unless the arbitrator ï¬nds good cause to hold an in-person hearing instead. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only to you individually to satisfy your individual claim.
Right to Opt Out. If you do not wish to be bound by this Arbitration and Class Action Waiver provision, you must notify Outbyte in writing within 30 days of the date of your product order via email to Outbyte customer support or by mail at the address in this Agreement. Your written notiï¬cation must include your name, address and your Outbyte software order number, and must contain a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve Disputes with Outbyte through arbitration. Your decision to opt out of this arbitration provision will have no adverse effect on your relationship with Outbyte or the delivery of products or services to you by Outbyte. If you do not provide Outbyte with an Opt-out Notice within the 30 day period, you will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived your right to litigate any Dispute except as expressly set forth under Exception in this clause.
Severability. If any part or all of this arbitration provision or class action waiver is found to be unenforceable as to all or some parts of a Dispute, the remaining parts of this provision will still apply and the remaining parts of the Dispute will proceed in arbitration.
THIS PROVISION SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THE END USER LICENCE AGREEMENT.

1. (a) the other party is in material breach of any term of this Agreement and such breach is not remedied within thirty (30) days of notiï¬cation; or

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PRODUCT IS DISTRIBUTED AS IS AND OUTBYTE IN NO WAY GUARANTEES THAT IT WILL OPERATE UNINTERRUPTED OR BE ERROR FREE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE EXISTENCE OF ANY ERRORS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT.
YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT GOOD DATA PROCESSING PROCEDURES DICTATE THAT ANY PRODUCT BE THOROUGHLY TESTED WITH NON-CRITICAL DATA BEFORE RELYING ON IT. YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE RISK OF USING THE PRODUCT. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE EXERCISED YOUR INDEPENDENT JUDGEMENT IN LICENSING THE PRODUCT AND HAVE NOT RELIED ON ANY REPRESENTATION MADE BY OUTBYTE WHICH HAS NOT BEEN STATED EXPRESSLY IN THIS AGREEMENT OR UPON ANY DESCRIPTIONS OR ILLUSTRATIONS OR SPECIFICATIONS CONTAINED IN ANY DOCUMENT INCLUDING PUBLICITY MATERIAL PRODUCED BY OUTBYTE.
OUTBYTE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES MADE IN REGARDS TO THE AMOUNT OF PERFORMANCE, STABILITY, PRIVACY OR SECURITY IMPROVEMENT PROVIDED BY THE PRODUCT. A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF EFFORT WAS INVESTED IN CREATING THE PRODUCT THAT WILL BENEFIT THE CUSTOMER HOWEVER THE ULTIMATE BENEFIT ON EACH COMPUTER VARIES.

OTHER THAN IMPLIED BY LAW, THE WARRANTIES IN THIS CLAUSE REPRESENT ALL OF THE WARRANTIES GIVEN BY OUTBYTE AND NO TERM OR WARRANTY WILL BE IMPLIED.
7. LIMITATIONS OF THE PRODUCT
The Product will automatically run a full system scan after installation. Subsequent scans will be launched by user as needed.
The problems detected and displayed by the Product are the result of the operation of algorithms developed based on the knowledge of computer experts. While the Product is often effective at identifying and repairing issues negatively affecting system performance, stability, privacy, security and other areas, there are numerous factors negatively affecting any particular computer system that the Product may not be able to identify or repair. As such you acknowledge and agree that computer performance and other areas may not improve until all problems affecting these areas are addressed. Sometimes these may be hardware issues that may not be addressed by a software solution at all.
The Product may detect issues naturally occurring during routine use of the operating system. Some issues may not pose privacy or security risk or have a signiï¬cant impact on the system performance and operation while other issues may consistently reappear and end up being repeatedly detected by the Product.
The Product may label certain issues as high risk / high severity / high impact or similar. This is done for your convenience and is based on the expert knowledge to date. The label may not accurately predict or describe the impact an issue may have on your computer system. Computer systems are inherently very complex and even a fresh install of an operating system may contain broken registry shortcuts, abandoned ï¬les and other items that may be flagged by the Product. In some rare cases, the Product may identify and mark for deletion certain ï¬les, folders, registry entries, settings and other items that may be critical for the operation of your computer. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to review the scan results presented to you by the Product and decide if you want to proceed with repair. Outbyte therefore is not responsible for any damages to your computer or operating system, or loss of personal data or settings.
8. THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS
Certain software or services may be included, bundled, installed by or referenced by the Product, Outbyte websites, documentation or e-mail correspondence («Third Party Products»). Outbyte acts solely as a distributor or an advertising channel for Third Party Products. Such Third Party Products may be subject to different licence terms. Outbyte makes no representations or warranties regarding Third Party Products. By accepting this Agreement, you also agree that Outbyte is not responsible for any consequence of you installing and using Third Party Products. You will look solely to the Third Party Product providers for all such claims. The application supports silent installation, i.e. the application can be installed without displaying the installation windows and without showing prompts.
Outbyte software includes technologies developed by Auslogics Software Pty Ltd. and may include technologies developed by Driver Hive Bootstrap Development, LLC
9. LIVE SUPPORT TERMS
Outbyte may offer you live support (also referred to as technical support, live assistance, live help desk services and so on) over the phone and via live chat by showing PC Help Desk phone numbers and live chat links on the web site, in the Product and in e-mail correspondence. Telephone support is provided in English only, while live chat support may be offered in other languages with the help of automatic translation tools.
Problem diagnosis and assistance over the phone may require a technician logging in to your computer and you agree that by using PC Help Desk services, you are authorizing Outbyte (and third parties it contracts to offer live support) to access and control your computer, to configure your computer and devices, to delete ï¬les and folders deemed harmful or unnecessary, alter registry entries, install or remove device drivers or other packages, modify browser and Internet settings, use third party software for the purposes of diagnosis, repair and assistance, and make other changes required to offer you assistance, and you agree that you will not hold Outbyte liable for any harm or damage this may cause. Outbyte does not guarantee against the loss of data and you are solely responsible for backing up and safely storing all information, ï¬les and settings on your computer and devices. Technicians may use their expert knowledge or software in order to diagnose and repair your computer, but they may not be able to find or repair all issues that may affect the operation of your computer and you therefore acknowledge that the results may vary and are not guaranteed.
You also acknowledge and agree that while Outbyte makes reasonable effort to limit access by technicians to your personal data, by nature of providing the live support services, technicians may come across personal or private information on your computer. You agree that you will not hold Outbyte liable for technicians gaining knowledge of that information or potentially transmitting any information to Outbyte servers.
A paid licence to an Outbyte product entitles users to free telephone/chat support service for a term that depends on the software plan purchased. The free support term will not necessarily match the software licence subscription term, and may also be limited to a specific number of support sessions. Any free support plan limitations are specified at the time of software licence purchase. When the free support service limit is reached, you may still receive live telephone/chat support by purchasing a PC Help Desk plan. Support sessions are limited to technical support questions only. Outbyte reserves the right to restrict or terminate your access to PC Help Desk immediately if Outbyte determines, in its sole discretion, that you are abusing the PC Help Desk services. Only personal use of the PC Help Desk service by the software licence holder is allowed.
10. CONFIDENTIALITY
You may not, without the prior written approval of Outbyte, disclose Conï¬dential Information (as deï¬ned below). You will not be in breach of this Agreement in circumstances where you are legally compelled to disclose Conï¬dential Information.
You must take all reasonable steps to ensure that you, your employees and agents, and any sub-contractors engaged for the purposes of this Agreement, do not disclose Conï¬dential Information.
You may disclose Conï¬dential Information:
1. (a) to related companies, solicitors, auditors, insurers and accountants who require information for the purpose of this Agreement; or
2. (b) if required to disclose the information by law or the rules of any Stock Exchange.
This clause will survive the termination of this Agreement.
11. PRIVACY
You agree that Outbyte may collect and use information obtained and transmitted via the Product, Outbyte websites or in e-mail correspondence to provide you the required services and to further improve its products and services. The type of information Outbyte collects and processes is covered by the Privacy Policy available on the company website. The terms of the Privacy Policy and any future amendments are hereby incorporated by reference into this agreement. Third parties providing their services and goods to you including those bundled, advertised or referenced by Outbyte, may have their own privacy policies.
Outbyte products may retrieve information on third-party software being installed on your computer and track the location of all its files, which helps Outbyte ensure full removal of all leftover files if you uninstall such software later.
Outbyte products may collect information about drivers or the actual driver files installed on your PC to help improve driver database. Analysing collected compatibility information helps Outbyte select the most suitable drivers for each PC.
Your email address may be used to personalize Google ads based on your interests and interests of users similar to you.
Outbyte Licence orders are processed by Outbyte's online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all Outbyte orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns.
12. AUTOMATIC RENEWALS
When you purchase the Product, you are purchasing a subscription to the product for a ï¬xed term. At the end of each subscription period, you will receive an email notification to your last email on record. Online option to cancel subscription is provided together with your license key. Unless this Agreement is terminated, Outbyte will automatically renew the subscription at the end of each subscription term for another period (Renewal Term) by directly charging your account the current renewal price.
13. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
13.1 You acknowledge that the Product is the subject of intellectual property rights including copyright (the «Rights»). You shall not during or any time after the termination of this Agreement permit any act (including without limitation copying the Product except as permitted in this Agreement) which infringes those Rights. For the avoidance of doubt the Licence granted to you under this Agreement does not give you any right to use any trademarks of Outbyte associated with the Product.

16. BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
This Section 16 shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. If the laws of your jurisdiction prohibit the application of some or all of the provisions of this Section, such provisions will not apply to you. Hereby you agree to have any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Product (collectively, «Disputes») settled by binding individual arbitration before the American Arbitration Association («AAA») under the Federal Arbitration Act («FAA»), and not to sue in court in front of a judge or jury. The arbitrator’s decision will be ï¬nal except for a limited right of appeal under the FAA.
Exception. Each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.
Class Action Waiver. You agree that combining individual proceedings without the consent of all parties, class action lawsuits, class-wide arbitrations, private attorney-general actions, and any other proceeding where someone acts in a representative capacity, against Outbyte and any of Outbyte’s subsidiaries, related companies, afï¬liates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors and assigns under this Agreement or any prior agreements between us, shall not be allowed.
Arbitration Procedures. If you have a Dispute, you agree to send your claim to Outbyte customer support ï¬rst and give us 30 days to try and resolve it. If the Dispute is not resolved after 30 days, you may start arbitration. Any Dispute must be ï¬led for arbitration within 1 year from the date when the event giving rise to the Dispute occurred. The AAA will conduct any arbitration under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. To start arbitration, submit the form available at aka.ms/arbitration to the AAA; mail a copy to Outbyte. In a Dispute involving USD10,000 or less, any hearing will be by telephone unless the arbitrator ï¬nds good cause to hold an in-person hearing instead. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only to you individually to satisfy your individual claim.
Right to Opt Out. If you do not wish to be bound by this Arbitration and Class Action Waiver provision, you must notify Outbyte in writing within 30 days of the date of your product order via email to Outbyte customer support or by mail at the address in this Agreement. Your written notiï¬cation must include your name, address and your Outbyte software order number, and must contain a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve Disputes with Outbyte through arbitration. Your decision to opt out of this arbitration provision will have no adverse effect on your relationship with Outbyte or the delivery of products or services to you by Outbyte. If you do not provide Outbyte with an Opt-out Notice within the 30 day period, you will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived your right to litigate any Dispute except as expressly set forth under Exception in this clause.
Severability. If any part or all of this arbitration provision or class action waiver is found to be unenforceable as to all or some parts of a Dispute, the remaining parts of this provision will still apply and the remaining parts of the Dispute will proceed in arbitration.
THIS PROVISION SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THE END USER LICENCE AGREEMENT.
