2. LICENSE GRANT
Polarix Audio grants you a non-exclusive, revocable, personal, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use the SOFTWARE according to the terms of this EULA.
2.1. Evaluation License
Unless the SOFTWARE has been unlocked with a legally obtained license key in order to prove a specific license grant, the implicit Evaluation License allows you to install and use (“RUN”) a time limited or feature limited version of the SOFTWARE for test and evaluation purposes. An evaluation version of the SOFTWARE must not be used for commercial purposes.
2.2. Full License
The single license permits either a single user to RUN the SOFTWARE on multiple computers or multiple users to RUN the SOFTWARE on a single computer. However, it does not allow multiple users to ever RUN the SOFTWARE on multiple computers, regardless of whether such use is concurrent. If you sell or otherwise give away your hardware that has the SOFTWARE installed, all SOFTWARE installed on such hardware must be deleted before giving it away to a third party.
3. Activation of Trial Versions
- After entering your email address, you can download the SOFTWARE and use it for a time-limited evaluation period (typically 30 days). For this purpose the SOFTWARE will be activated on your computer for the duration of the evaluation period.
- For the activation of the trial version you will need an internet connection. The activation process will take place in the SOFTWARE.
- During activation a digital fingerprint of your hardware configuration as well as a time stamp will be stored in Polarix Audio’s registration database.
- For transmitting your information over the internet, Polarix Audio uses a secure SSL connection with 128-bit encryption in compliance with current security standards. For more information about how Polarix Audio handles personal data, please see Polarix Audio’s privacy policy, which is incorporated into this EULA: https://polarixaudio.com/privacy-policy
- Installing an update of the SOFTWARE may make it necessary to repeat the activation.
- Polarix Audio activation utilizes information about key components of your computer and encrypts this information in an activation request. The activation request will be used for the generation of an activation code that will only work on the computer the activation request was generated by.
- To use the SOFTWARE on a different system, or after major changes to your computer system, you may have to activate the SOFTWARE again.
4. Authorization of a Full License

- Without authorizing the SOFTWARE you will not be able to use it.
- When purchasing the SOFTWARE LICENSE you will be asked to enter your full name, your email address, and create a password. This information will be stored in Polarix Audio’s registration database, along with your license key and a digital fingerprint of your hardware configuration.
- An internet connection will be required for authorizing the licensed SOFTWARE. The authorization process will take place directly in the user interface of the SOFTWARE or via the Polarix Audio website and will require the email address and password you entered during purchasing.

- Polarix Audio Authorization utilizes information about relevant components of your computer and encrypts this information in an authorization request. The authorization request will be used for the generation of an activation code that will only work on the computer the activation request was generated.
- Should Polarix Audio – for whichever reason – fail to fulfill its obligation to provide an authorization code for the SOFTWARE that you purchased a SOFTWARE LICENSE for, Polarix Audio will provide you with a code that ensures that you can continue to use the SOFTWARE.
- To use the SOFTWARE on a different computer, or after major changes to your computer system, you may have to activate the SOFTWARE again.

8. WARRANTY; LIABILITY
8.1. For Japanese Residents
The SOFTWARE is subject to statutory warranty rights under Japanese law (Consumer Contract Act and Civil Code). Please note that any agreement you may have executed with a third party vendor to obtain a license for this product may contain certain contractual restrictions which may apply to you.
Unless specified otherwise below, any other claims of the Licensee – on any legal grounds whatsoever – will be ruled out. For this reason, Polarix Audio will not be liable for damages not caused to the delivered software itself; in particular Polarix Audio will not be liable for losses in profits or for any other financial losses suffered by the Licensee. Where the liability of Polarix Audio is ruled out or restricted, this will also apply for the personal liability of employees, representatives and vicarious agents.
Should Polarix Audio violate a significant duty of the contract (defined as contractual obligation whose execution is necessary for the execution of the contract and upon which the Licensee relies and may rely), the duty to compensate for material damages will be limited to foreseeable damages typically incurred in cases of contractual violations of this nature.
The above restrictions of liability shall not apply to personal injuries affecting body, life, and health, to willful or grossly negligent behavior.
9. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
This Section 9 applies if you are NOT a Japanese resident or if statutory warranty rights do not apply.

POLARIX AUDIO, ITS AFFILIATES AND ITS LICENSORS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE IN ANY WAY FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGE, COST, LIABILITY, OR LOSS OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING LOSS OR DAMAGE TO YOUR OR YOUR BUSINESS, YOUR ACCOUNT, YOUR RELIANCE ON THE SOFTWARE AND SERVICES, OR PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE, SERVICES, OR THIRD PARTY SERVICES FOR ANY REASON.

IN NO EVENT SHALL POLARIX AUDIO BE LIABLE FOR MORE THAN THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO POLARIX AUDIO IN THE 6-MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR ¥10,000 JPY, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY ARE ESSENTIAL TO THIS EULA AND THAT POLARIX AUDIO WOULD NOT ALLOW ACCESS THE SOFTWARE AND SERVICES, WITHOUT ACCEPTANCE OF THIS EULA. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT IS INTENDED TO EXCLUDE OR RESTRICT OR SHALL BE CONSTRUED AS EXCLUDING OR RESTRICTING THE LIABILITY OF POLARIX AUDIO FOR (I) DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OF POLARIX AUDIO, ITS EMPLOYEES, OR ITS AGENTS; (II) WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF POLARIX AUDIO, INCLUDING FRAUDULENT CONCEALMENT OF DEFECTS; OR (III) ANY OTHER LIABILITY WHICH CANNOT BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

Your indemnification obligations set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the termination of this EULA.
11. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
Most issues can be resolved simply by contacting us and we encourage you to do so. However, the following rules apply in case we are not able to resolve the dispute informally:
11.1. If you are a Japanese resident:
This EULA shall be governed by the laws of Japan. The Vienna Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) shall not apply. If the Licensee is considered to be a consumer by applicable law, this choice of law shall only apply to the extent that applicable consumer protective laws shall remain untouched.
Any disputes arising from or relating to this EULA shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tokyo District Court as the court of first instance.
11.2. If you are a resident outside of Japan:
This License Agreement shall be governed by the laws of Japan. The Vienna Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) shall not apply.
Any disputes arising from or relating to this EULA shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tokyo District Court as the court of first instance.
12. TERMINATION
This EULA shall continue for as long as the SOFTWARE is used according to the terms of this EULA. However, Polarix Audio may terminate this EULA and revoke the granted license if you fail to comply with any of its terms and conditions. In such event, you must destroy all copies of the SOFTWARE. The limitations of warranties and liability set forth in this EULA shall continue in force even after termination.
13. SEVERABILITY CLAUSE
If any provision of this EULA or the application thereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of these policies and regulations are severable. In lieu thereof there shall be added a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid and unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.
