limitation,
the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular

non-infringement. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation

apply to you.

9. Limitation of Liability. NEITHER Sierra Entertainment NOR ITS PARENT,
SUBSIDIARIES
OR AFFILIATES OR LICENSEES SHALL BE LIABLE IN ANY WAY FOR LOSS OR
DAMAGE OF ANY
KIND RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THE PROGRAM, THE EDITOR OR AN AUTHORIZED

OR LICENSEES shall NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INTerRUPTIONS OF SERVICE,
INCLUDING,

ANY OTHER EVENT
WHICH MAY RESULT IN A LOSS OF DATA OR DISRUPTION OF SERVICE. Some
states do not allow
the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or

provided, however, that (1) such new copy or adaptation is created as
an essential
step in your utilization of the Program in accordance with the terms of
this License
Agreement and for NO OTHER PURPOSE; or (2) such new copy or adaptation

made and
executed in the State of California, and any dispute arising hereunder
