6. AUTOMATIC COMMUNICATIONS FEATURES.
a) The Software consists of interactive Internet applications that perform a var
iety of communications over the Internet as part of their normal operation. A n
umber of communications features are automatic and are enabled by default. By in
stalling and/or using the Software, you consent to the Software's communications
features. Once you log into the Software, user information including your user
id will be sent in communications with RN's servers. This information is used t
o access your regular account, premium content, non-premium content, services, f
eatures, and other personalized services. RN may match the user id to personally
identifiable information in order to provide you with products, services, and s
oftware that you're entitled to and to provide you with relevant information. Yo
u are responsible for any telecommunications or other connectivity charges incur
red through use of the Software.
b) Cookies: The Software also allows the use of cookies, similar to an Internet
browser. This allows any website to set cookies for you when you view any of th
e website's content through the Software, unless you have disabled cookies. If y
ou have disabled cookies, you may be asked to login each time you access premium
software features and services and some RealOne services may not function prope
rly. To learn more, visit the RealNetworks Privacy Policy link on our website at
http://www.realnetworks.com/company/privacy/index.html.
c) AutoUpdate: The RealOne Player, using AutoUpdate, automatically communicates
with RN's servers on the Internet to check for updates to RN's and RN partner's
software, such as bug fixes, patches, enhanced functions, missing plug-ins and n
ew versions. AutoUpdate also has the capability to run independently of RealOne
Player to perform background update checks. RN may download updates during the b
ackground checks, when RealOne Player automatically communicates with RN's serve
rs, when you manually check for updates, or when RealOne Player detects a file i
t does not support. AutoUpdate sends information about installed RealNetworks' p
roducts and components to the servers to determine upgrade availability. If you
prefer to be notified when an auto-update is performed, follow these steps: On t
he Tools menu, select Preferences, Automatic Services, AutoUpdate, and then de-s
elect "Automatically download and install software updates." However, as we desc
ribe above, certain updates to RealOne Player functionality will happen automati
cally and without advance notification.
d) Message Center: The RealOne Player software, using Message Center, automatica
lly communicates with RN's servers to check for new important messages, includin
g software updates and service bulletins. Message Center can also run independe
ntly of RealOne Player to perform background new message checks. Message Center
sends information about installed RealNetworks' products and components to the s
ervers to allow receipt of suitable product update and other messages. Message C
enter is set by default to show message headlines and to check for messages once
or twice a week. You can change the way messages are displayed and the frequenc
y messages are checked by following these steps: On the View menu, select 'Messa
ge Center'; The Messaging Center dialog appears; On Options, select 'Delivery Pr
eferences' and select the desired preferences. If you sign up for services that
send messages more often than the frequency you have selected, your frequency se
lection may be adjusted. The first time you use RealOne Player, you will be sent
a Welcome Message that will enable you to opt-out of receiving Special Offers m
essages and opt-in to receive other personalized messages, depending on your cat
egories of interest. Receipt of upgrade information is not optional.
7. SCHEDULER. An application Scheduler, known as "realsched.exe," is instal
led along with RealOne Player. Once installed, it runs independently of RealOne
Player. The Scheduler does not collect personal information or communicate with
RealNetworks' servers. It is used to remind AutoUpdate and Message Center to per
form their tasks at pre-scheduled intervals. The Scheduler is also used to autom
atically launch RealNetworks' Media Type Helper. The Media Type Helper ensures t
he system is configured for correct operation of the RealOne Player with Multi-P
urpose Internet Mail Extensions ("MIME") types, file extensions, Internet protoc
ols and other media types. If a media type has been assigned a different action
by a different application, Media Type Helper may override the association and s
ubstitute its own association. You can configure the Scheduler to only launch ce
rtain services such as AutoUpdate , Message Center, and Media Type Helper when R
ealOne Player is running by following these steps: On the Tools menu, select 'Pr
eferences', Automatic Services , then choose the services you want to run while Rea
lOne Player is not running.

8. DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS ("DRMs").


a) The Software includes a DRM called the RealSystem Media Commerce Update Softw
are ("Media Commerce Software") and may include third party DRMs as Plug-in comp
onents, which are subject to their own license agreements. DRMs are designed to
manage and enforce intellectual property rights in digital content purchased ov
er the Internet. You may not take any action to circumvent or defeat the securit
y or content usage rules provided or enforced by either the DRM or the Software.
DRMs may be able to revoke your ability to use applicable content. RN is not
responsible for the operation of the third party DRM in any way, including revoc
ation of your content. RN is not responsible for any communications to or from a
ny third party DRM provider, or for the collection or use of information by thir
d party DRMs. You consent to the communications enabled and/or performed by the
DRM, including automatic updating of the DRM without further notice, despite th
e provisions of AutoUpdate defined in Section 6(c). You agree to indemnify and
hold harmless RN for any claim relating to your use of a third party DRM.
b) Content providers are using the digital rights management technology containe
d in this Software to protect the integrity of their content("Secure Content") s
o that their intellectual property, including copyright, in such content is not
misappropriated. Owners of such Secure Content ("Secure Content Owners") may, f
rom time to time, request RN or its suppliers to provide security related update
s to the DRM components of the Software ("Security Updates") that may affect you
r ability to copy, display and/or utilize the Software. You therefore agree tha
t, if you elect to download a license from the Internet which enables your use o
f Secure Content, RN or its suppliers may, in conjunction with such license, als
o download onto your computer such Security Updates that a Secure Content Owner
has requested that RN or its suppliers distribute. Unless notification is provi
ded to you, RN and its suppliers will not retrieve any personally identifiable i
nformation, or other information, from your computer by downloading such Securit
y Updates.
c) The Media Commerce Software allows you to receive and playback content t
hat has been digitally secured by a content provider. The Media Commerce Softwar
e interacts with your computer in the following ways:
1. Hardware information: In order to download the appropriate software, RealOne
Player must send certain anonymous information about the hardware on your comput
er to the RealNetworks download server. Once the software is installed, informa
tion about your hardware will not be stored on any server. Hardware information
will also be sent for content passes, as described below.
2. Content passes: When obtaining passes for playback of content (such as a musi
c or video file) in RealOne Player, information about your specific Media Commer
ce Software installation and hardware will be sent to the content provider for i
nclusion in the pass. This installation and hardware information will be scramb
led a different way each time it is sent, usable only for inclusion in your pass
.
3. Personal information: Media Commerce Software will not associate itself with
any personal information in RealOne Player or anywhere else on your computer. R
ealNetworks' use of any personal information is governed by the RealNetworks pri
vacy policy (http://www.realnetworks.com/company/privacy/index.html). RealNetwo
rks does not share with third parties any personal information you provide in co
nnection with our products without first obtaining your informed consent.
4. Financial information: Media Commerce Software does not interact with the pro
cess of secure financial transactions, e.g. credit card transactions. These tra
nsactions are handled by the website providing the content and are governed by t
hat party's privacy policy.
5. Usage information: RealNetworks may keep statistics on the aggregated anonymo
us use of the Media Commerce Software. However, content partners using the Medi
a Commerce Software will not provide RealNetworks with information on specific c
ontent for which an individual user obtains passes.
9. TITLE. Title, ownership, rights, and intellectual property rights in an
d to the Software and Documentation shall remain in RN and/or its suppliers. Th
