If the Documentation does not permit Licensee to use the Content, then Licensee may not display, modify, reproduce, or distribute any of the Content; and even if the Documentation permits Licensee to use the Content, Licensee may not distribute the Content on a stand-alone basis such as where the Content constitutes the primary value of whatever Licensee is distributing.
Certain portions of the Content may consist of the copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade names, or other intellectual property of third parties. Gwentech LLC has provided these portions of the Content for Licensees' convenience in using the Licensed Software, pursuant to authorization of their owners. Except for this limited use, Licensee may not use any third-party intellectual property identified as belonging to others without the owners' express authorization. Furthermore:

Licensee is solely responsible for Licensee's use of the Content. Licensee may only use the Content responsibly, in a manner consistent with the exercise of good judgment.

Licensee may purchase a separate subscription for a specified period of time to continue to receive Content Updates after the initial period expires. Gwentech LLC reserves the right to designate specified Content Updates as requiring purchase of a separate subscription at any time, and without prior notice to Licensee, except that any such change will only become effective at the earlier of the expiration of the initial period provided for by the applicable software, or the expiration of the term of a separately paid for subscription.
SUPPORT. Gwentech LLC is not obligated by this EULA to provide Licensee with any technical support services relating to the Licensed Software; however, Licensee may order additional support services for an additional charge as Gwentech LLC may offer from time to time during the term of this EULA.
LIMITED WARRANTY ON MEDIA. Gwentech LLC warrants that the media on which the Licensed Software is distributed will be free from defects for a period of 30 days from the date the Licensed Software is delivered to Licensee. If Licensee discovers a defect in the media during this 30-day period, Licensee must then return the defective media to Gwentech LLC within 10 calendar days of discovering the defect, and Licensee's sole remedy is to have either the defective media replaced, or at Gwentech LLC ‘s sole option, a refund of the money that Licensee paid for the Licensed Software.
NO WARRANTY ON LICENSED SOFTWARE. The Licensed Software is provided to Licensee "AS IS." Gwentech LLC, and Gwentech LLC ‘s suppliers, make no warranty as to its use or performance. GWENTECH LLC, AND GWENTECH LLC ‘s SUPPLIERS, MAKE NO WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS, OR TERMS (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WHETHER BY STATUTE, COMMON LAW, CUSTOM, USAGE, OR OTHERWISE) AS TO ANY MATTER INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, MERCHANTABILITY, INTEGRATION, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EXCEPT FOR, AND TO THE EXTENT, THAT A WARRANTY MAY NOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED BY APPLICABLE LAW IN LICENSEE'S JURISDICTION.

IN NO EVENT WILL GWENTECH LLC, OR GWENTECH LLC ‘s SUPPLIERS, BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE FOR ANY DAMAGES, CLAIMS, OR COSTS WHATSOEVER, OR FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, OR ANY LOST PROFITS OR LOST SAVINGS, EVEN IF A REPRESENTATIVE OF GWENTECH LLC OR ONE OF GWENTECH LLC ‘s SUPPLIERS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS, DAMAGES, CLAIMS, OR COSTS, OR FOR ANY CLAIM BY ANY THIRD PARTY. THESE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS APPLY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW IN LICENSEE'S JURISDICTION. THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF GWENTECH LLC, AND GWENTECH LLC 'S SUPPLIERS, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS EULA, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID FOR THE LICENSED SOFTWARE, IF ANY.
ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR BETA SOFTWARE. If the Licensed Software that Licensee receives with this EULA is pre-commercial release or "BETA" software ("Pre-release Software"), then, to the extent that any provision in this section is in conflict with any other term or condition in this EULA, this section supersedes such conflicting term(s) and condition(s) as to the Pre-release Software, but only to the extent necessary to resolve the conflict.
Licensee acknowledges that the Pre-release Software does not represent the final product from Gwentech LLC, and may contain bugs, errors, and other problems that could cause system or other failures and data loss. Consequently, Gwentech LLC disclaims any warranty or liability obligations to Licensee of any kind whatsoever. IN APPLICABLE JURISDICTIONS WHERE LIABILITY CANNOT BE SO EXCLUDED FOR PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE, BUT MAY BE LIMITED, GWENTECH LLC ‘s LIABILITY, AND THAT OF ITS SUPPLIERS, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE TOTAL OF FIFTY DOLLARS (U.S. $50.00).
Licensee acknowledges that Gwentech LLC has not promised or guaranteed to Licensee that the Pre-release Software will be announced or made available to anyone in the future, and that Gwentech LLC has no express or implied obligation to Licensee to announce or introduce the Pre-release Software. Gwentech LLC may decide not to introduce a product similar to, or compatible with, the Pre-release Software. Accordingly, Licensee acknowledges that any research or development that Licensee performs regarding the Pre-release Software, or any product associated with the Pre-release Software, is done entirely at Licensee's own risk.
During the term of this EULA, if requested by Gwentech LLC, Licensee will provide feedback to Gwentech LLC regarding testing and use of the Pre-release Software, including error or bug reports.
If Licensee has been provided the Pre-release Software pursuant to a separate written agreement, then Licensee's use of the Pre-release Software is also governed by that agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this EULA to the contrary, if Licensee is located outside the United States, Licensee will return or destroy all unreleased versions of the Pre-release Software within 30 days of the completion of Licensee's testing of the Pre-release Software if that date is earlier than the date scheduled for Gwentech LLC ‘s first commercial shipment of the publicly released Software.
