This Program contains an “on-line” component that allows you to utilize the Product over the Internet utilizing servers and software maintained by VU Games and or its affiliates.

However, nothing contained herein shall be construed so as to place an obligation upon VU Games to provide the servers and software technology necessary to utilize the “on-line” component beyond the time that the Program is Out of Publication. The term “Out of Publication” as used herein shall mean that the Program is no longer being manufactured by VU Games.
9. Limited Warranty. VU Games expressly disclaims any warranty for the Program, Editor and Manual(s). The Program, Editor and Manual(s) are provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including, without limitation, the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or noninfringement.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or liability for incidental damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

10. Limitation of Liability. NEITHER VU GAMES ENTERTAINMENT, INC. NOR ITS PARENT, SUBSIDIARIES OR AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE IN ANY WAY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THE PROGRAM, THE EDITOR OR AN AUTHORIZED ON-LINE GAME NETWORK, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply.

11. Equitable Remedies. You hereby agree that VU Games would be irreparably damaged if the terms of this License Agreement were not specifically enforced, and therefore you agree that VU Games shall be entitled, without bond, other security, or proof of damages, to appropriate equitable remedies with respect to breaches of this License Agreement, in addition to such other remedies as VU Games may otherwise have available to it under applicable laws.
