9. Creative's limit of liability under the limited warranty is the actual cash value of the Product at the time You return
the Product for repair (e.g., the purchase price of the Product less a reasonable amount for usage). Creative will not
be liable for any other losses or damages. These remedies are Your exclusive remedies for breach of warranty. Any
action or lawsuit for breach of warranty must be commenced within eighteen (18) months following the purchase of
the Product.
10. THE FOREGOING LIMITED WARRANTY IS YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL
OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CREATIVE
HEREBY DISCLAIMS THE APPLICABILITY OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE FOR THE PRODUCT. IF SUCH A DISCLAIMER IS PROHIBITED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, THE IMPLIED WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE FOREGOING LIMITED
WRITTEN WARRANTY.
11. CREATIVE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY LOST PROFITS,

THIS PRODUCT OR ARISING FROM BREACH OF THE WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE,
TORT, OR STRICT LIABILITY, EVEN IF CREATIVE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES.
12. This warranty gives You specific legal rights. You may also have other rights, which vary from state to state and
country to country. Some states and countries do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or
the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not
apply to You.
13. This is the entire warranty between You and Creative and supercedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements or
understandings, oral or written, relating to the Product, and no representation, promise or condition not contained
herein will modify these terms.
