II.  Warranties
(1) Defects in the Software supplied including the manuals and other documentation shall be corrected by Nero within the warranty period of two years from delivery following appropriate notification by the user.

(2) Should Nero not be prepared or able to effect this rectification or replacement delivery, or should this take longer than a suitable deadline set by the user or fail for other reasons, the user shall be entitled to withdraw from the Contract or to demand that the sale be canceled or the purchased price reduced. Failure to rectify the defects or effect replacement delivery shall only be assumed if Nero has been afforded ample opportunity to effect the rectification or replacement delivery without the desired success being achieved, if the rectification or replacement delivery is not possible or if it is refused or unacceptably delayed by Nero, or if the rectification of defects has already been performed unsuccessfully twice. The right of the user to demand compensation under § 437 of the German Civil Code remains unaffected.  
(3) The user is aware that it is not possible to create software programs with zero defects. Nero shall only warrant against software defects that significantly reduce the Software's value or suitability for use as stipulated in the contract.

If failure of the Software is the result of accident, abuse, or misapplication, this warranty shall be void.  Any replacement Software will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty.  NERO MAKES NO WARRANTIES TO YOU IN CONNECTION WITH IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Microsoft may, in conjunction with such license, also download revocation lists onto your computer on behalf of Secure Content Owners. Secure Content Owners may also require you to upgrade some of the WM-DRM components distributed with this Software (“WM-DRM Upgrades”) before accessing their content. When you attempt to play such content, WM-DRM Software built by Microsoft will notify you that a WM-DRM Upgrade is required and then ask for your consent before the WM-DRM Upgrade is downloaded. WM-DRM Software used by third parties may do the same. If you decline the upgrade, you will not be able to access content that requires the WM-DRM Upgrade; however, you will still be able to access unprotected content and Secure Content that does not require the upgrade.
