LICENSE OF USE

GUITAR PRO is a software program protected by the terms of the French �Code de la
Propri�t� Intellectuelle�. The Guitar Pro program code and copyright are not owned
by you, but the right to use it is granted to you under the terms of this license.

VERY IMPORTANT
By installing GUITAR PRO on his computer, the User accepts the terms of this
license, which will remain in effect throughout it's use.

1. GRANT OF LICENSE
AROBAS MUSIC grants the User, the nonexclusive personal and not transferable right
to use GUITAR PRO. This right extends only to one installation and to the use of
only one copy of the software on only one computer, not connected to a network.
The right of use is granted to the User exclusively for private use, for its own
benefits and needs.
Consequently, without the authorization of AROBAS MUSIC, it is formally prohibited
to the User:
(i) to place GUITAR PRO at a third party's disposal, in any manner, particularly by
hiring, loan, deposit, or transfer.
(ii) to allow its use on an office network.
(iii) to carry out any service of any nature that results in profit of a third
party by using GUITAR PRO.
(iv) to make a commercial use of GUITAR PRO, or any element or file resulting from
the use of GUITAR PRO.
The license relates to the version of GUITAR PRO specified on its packaging and to
the associated documentation. The software license only allows reproduction and
representation rights needed to put the software in the memory of the computer for
its use, and to make one backup copy.

2. SUPPORT
AROBAS MUSIC grants the User the right to use their service of online support,
under the following conditions:
(i) the User follows the online procedure for registration of its license on the
GUITAR PRO website (www.guitar-pro.com).
(ii) the User installed every update available for its version of the GUITAR PRO
software.
(iii) the User has the last version of the GUITAR PRO software installed, or has a
version of the GUITAR PRO software declared obsolete by AROBAS MUSIC for less than
one year.
In the case of a third party other than AROBAS MUSIC wishing to offer additional
support to that provided by this present license, the responsibility of this
support would belong completely to this third party. This additional support will
in no case be relevant to this present license, and will never engage the
responsibility of AROBAS MUSIC in any manner possible.

3. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
AROBAS MUSIC guarantees the User, that this society is the holder of the
intellectual property rights allowing it to concede this license.
Included in the GUITAR PRO software are
(i) the object codes and associated documentation
(ii) every technical and/or methodological information.
(iii) functionalities which, when they are expressed, would allow the writing of
software technically different but counterfeiting the protected methodology.
(iv) elements of interface, in particular screens, editions or menus
(v) description, headings and the structure of data, whatever the tool in which
these elements are stocked/used, in particular every element stored in the database
(vi) parameter settings either in the form of tables of database, binary files or
text.
Every element is protected whatever the form and the support under which they are
represented. Any use, access, reproduction, translation, modification to/of any
element that is described above would be a violation of this license, which could
involve, automatically and without delay, the cancellation of the license,
notwithstanding the damages.
AROBAS MUSIC preserves, as holder of the rights, the intellectual property of
GUITAR PRO, and all prerogatives being attached to it.

Consequently,
(i) the User is prohibited to reproduce GUITAR PRO in any form, if the goal is
other than backup and use, and commits himself to take all the precautions needed
to avoid any illicit use or diffusion of the GUITAR PRO software. In case of non
respect of this item, the license of the User will be revoked, and his right of
access to the support and every possible advantage offered to the customers of
GUITAR PRO will be revoked.
(ii) the User is prohibited to modify, deteriorate, decompile or reproduce GUITAR
PRO software as a whole or partially, and to allow any action of a third party
which would have the same effect
(iii) the User is prohibited to make, or to let a third party make any alteration
to GUITAR PRO, including the correction of possible errors
(iv) the User commits himself not to modify, nor to withdraw the mentions of
property indicated on GUITAR PRO
(v) the User commits himself neither to withdraw nor to modify the warning of
AROBAS MUSIC reproduced on the packaging of the GUITAR PRO software, concerning the
obligation to preserve a private use of the copies obtained with the software from
original work
(vi) the User is prohibited any transfer of the magnetic media, programs, data,
documents or other elements related to GUITAR PRO

In the case of non-observance of this clause, the User is exposed to the offence of
counterfeit, liable to penal sanctions as well as civil ones, which sanction the
violation of any of the rights of exploitation of the holder for software (article
L.122-6 of the �Code de la Propri�t� Intellectuelle).

4. LIMITED GUARANTEE
AROBAS MUSIC guarantees the conformity of the GUITAR PRO software to the
specifications described in its documentation published at the date of purchase,
provided that it is being correctly used in the conditions mentioned in the
documentation.
The User assumes all the responsibilities other than those for conformity of GUITAR
PRO with the specifications described in its documentation and in particular those
which concern
(i) adequacy of the Guitar Pro user's needs. In no case does AROBAS MUSIC guarantee
the aptitude of GUITAR PRO to carry out particular tasks anticipated by the User
which justified the choice of the software, if they are not expressly included in
the documentation.
(ii) the use of GUITAR PRO.
The present guarantee confers specific rights and does not prevent the application
of the legal guarantee mentioned in articles 1641 and in accordance with the French
Civil code.

5. CLAIM FOR THE USER


The extent of the responsibility of AROBAS MUSIC, as well as the rights to repair
of the User will limit itself, as AROBAS MUSIC chooses, either
(i) to the refunding of the price paid, or
(ii) to the replacement of the software not conforming to the guarantee, provided,
in both cases, that the software is returned to the third party having sold the
GUITAR PRO software to the User, accompanied by a copy of its sales receipt and by
a short description of the problem. In the case of failure of this third party to
execute the guarantee (due to closing of the company for example), AROBAS MUSIC
will take the responsibility for this guarantee.
The Guarantee will be inapplicable if the failure of GUITAR PRO would result from
an accident or a misuse.
In the case of failure of the media (documentation or electronic media), the User
has 90 days from the date of purchase to request a replacement.

(ii) in the event of modification or deterioration of the GUITAR PRO software by
the User
(iii) in the event of diffusion by the User in any manner, on a purely free or
profitable basis, of creations carried out with GUITAR PRO which would contravene
the rights of a third party.
(iv) in the event of use of GUITAR PRO in violation of the French �Code de la
Propri�t� Intellectuelle�, in particular by integrating or modifying original
works.

Except if the law states otherwise, AROBAS MUSIC would not be held responsible for
whatever direct or indirect damage, in particular and without being limited to:
physical injuries, the loss of possibility to use the GUITAR PRO software,
interruptions of activity, any loss of data, or any other loss of pecuniary nature
- resulting from the use or misuse of GUITAR PRO software, even if the user is
aware of the possibility of such damage.

actually paid by the User for GUITAR PRO.

8. RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER


The User will be the only person responsible for the use of GUITAR PRO contravening
the rights of a third party, in particular because of the creation of new works.

9. CANCELLATION
In the event of failure by the User with one of the dispositions of this License,
this one will be automatically cancelled by AROBAS MUSIC, and the fault will
exclusively lie with the User. The User will have to cease using GUITAR PRO at
once.

10 SPECIAL DISPOSITIONS
The present License is governed by the French law. Its execution as well as its
interpretation falls under the competence of the French courts.

IF ONE OR MORE STIPULATIONS OF THIS LICENSE ARE HELD NONVALID OR ARE DECLARED SUCH
IN APPLICATION OF A LAW, A RULE OR AFTER A FINAL DECISION OF A COURT, THE OTHER
STIPULATIONS WILL KEEP ALL THEIR FORCE AND THEIR SIGNIFICANCE. IN CASE OF
DIFFICULTIES OF INTERPRETATION BETWEEN ANY OF THE TITLES APPEARING BEFORE THE
