producer, (a) trying to correct the errors believed to cause the problem, (b) substituting the

limiting accidental or indirect damage, therefore these limitations or exclusions may not be
applicable. This limited warranty offers special rights to the user, who may benefit of other
rights given by the jurisdictions the user belongs to.
6 • Limited Rights. If the Software is licensed to a United States Government organization,
it is accepted that the Software has been designed and produced for commercial purposes,

legal clauses. This contract has an absolute value, and it substitutes any other verbal or
written previous agreement, related to the subjects here in dealt.
