protected by international intellectual property laws and treaties. The
FORD SOFTWARE is licensed, not sold. All rights reserved.

THE SOFTWARE. ANY USE OF THE SOFTWARE, INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO USE ON THE DEVICE, WILL

others to reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the FORD
SOFTWARE, except and only to the extent that such activity is
expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this limitation.

contain multiple versions of this EULA, such as multiple translations
and/or multiple media versions (e.g., in the user documentation and in
the software). Even if you receive multiple versions of the EULA, you
are licensed to use only one (1) copy of the SOFTWARE and only one
(1) copy of the FORD SOFTWARE.

in your DEVICE to protect the integrity of their content (“Secure

third party applications such as media players use DRM to play Secure
Content (“DRM Software”). If the DRM Software’s security has been
compromised, owners of Secure Content (“Secure Content Owners”)
may request that MS block the ability of DRM license servers and
personal computers to deliver new licenses that enable an affected
DEVICE to play Secure Content. This action does not alter the DRM
Software’s ability to play unprotected content. A list of revoked DRM
Software is sent to your DEVICE whenever you download a license for
Secure Content from the Internet or from your personal computer.
You therefore agree that MS may, in conjunction with such license,
also download revocation lists onto your DEVICE on behalf of Secure
Content Owners. MS will not retrieve any personally identifiable
information, or any other information, from your DEVICE by
downloading such revocation lists.
