啟動。 依照它的自主判斷，Nuance 可以在「軟體」中納入一些功能，以
阻止未授權使用「軟體」。您也同意 Nuance 公司可以如此做。特別是，
「軟體」的使用可能需要「被授權者」經過網際網路啟動「軟體」(這個程
序在「軟體」安裝設定的時候，有更完整的描述)。在啟動的時候，Nuanc

您也同意 Nuance 公司可以如此做。如果您修改了電腦硬體或「軟體」，

必須銷毀所有「軟體」的副本。
財 產 權 。 「軟體」的資格、所有權和智慧財產權將由 Nuance 及/或它的
供應者或授權者持有。「被授權者」認知這樣的所有權和智慧財產權，而
且將不會採取任何的行動，對 Nuance 或其供應者或授權者的所有權或相

可銷售性、適合特定目的不受侵害的擔保責任。關於「軟體」的品質和效
能的整體風險由「被授權者」承擔。如果「軟體」證明有任何方面的缺陷，
由「被授權者」而不是 Nuance 或其供應商、授權者或者經銷商來承擔任
何服務和修理的整體費用。這項保證責任的免責聲明形成本「協議書」的
基本部分。除了依據此免責聲明之外，不會授權使用此「軟體」。在某些
國家或者管轄權地區並不允許排除隱含的擔保責任，或者限制隱含的擔保
責任所持續的時間，因此，上述的限制可能不適用於您。

者絕不會對任何間接、特殊、偶發和附帶發生的損害負起責任，起因是使

了因為 Nuance 的疏忽所引起死亡或者個人的受傷，達到可適用法律在這
樣狀況下禁止損害的限制。某些司法管轄權區域並不允許排除或者限制對
於偶發或者後續損害的責任，因此，這個排除和限制條款可能不適用。

代理商或者主管當局的限制和管理，在沒有取得所有必要的核准之前，不
會輸出或者再輸出「軟體」，以致違反任何這樣的限制、法律或規則。

體」的運交，政府特此同意這項軟體符合「商業用」電腦軟體品目，適用
於政府採購取得規範的資格。本「協議書」的條款和條件將和政府的使用
以及「軟體」的披露有關，而且將取代任何相矛盾的契約條款或條件。如
果本「協議書」無法符合美國政府的需要或者任何方面不能符合美國的聯
邦法律，政府同意將未經使用過的「軟體」歸還 Nuance 公司。下列的其
他聲明只適用於按照 DFARS 子法規 227.4 (1988 年 10 月) 管轄的採購：

智慧財產權有關的任何爭議) 將在美國麻薩諸塞州波士頓地區進行最後和具
有約束力的仲裁，在單獨仲裁人的主持下，依據「美國仲裁協會」的商業
仲裁規則進行仲裁，然後實際上，由仲裁失敗的當事人支付所有仲裁的費
用。本「協議書」將不接受「聯合國國際貨物銷售合同公約」的管轄。如
果任何本「協議書」有任何條款被擁有司法管轄權的法院認定違法或者不
具強制執行力，這樣的條款將會修改到使其具有可執行力的程度，但又不
失去其原本的意思，或者嚴格的從本「協議書」認定沒有需要做如此的變
更，而本「協議書」的其他條款仍將保持完整執行力和效果。本「協議
書」的主要語言為英文。「被授權者」同意自行負擔任何和所有翻譯的必
要費用。如果「被授權者」已經收到翻譯成另一種語言的版本，這只是為
了「被授權者」的方便所提供。任何簽約當事人對於本「協議書」的任何

GENERAL. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between
the parties concerning the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be
amended only by a writing signed by both parties. Except to the extent, if
any, applicable law requires otherwise, this Agreement shall be governed
by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, United States of
America, excluding its conflict of law provisions. Unless otherwise agreed
in writing, all disputes relating to this Agreement (excepting any dispute
relating to Nuance’s or its Licensors’ or Suppliers’ intellectual property
rights) shall be subject to final and binding arbitration in Boston,
Massachusetts, United States of America under the auspices of a single
arbitrator pursuant to the commercial arbitration rules of the American
Arbitration Association then in effect, with the losing party paying all costs
of arbitration. This Agreement shall not be governed by the United
Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If
any provision in this Agreement should be held illegal or unenforceable
by a court having jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the
extent necessary to render it enforceable without losing its intent, or
severed from this Agreement if no such modification is possible, and the
other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
The controlling language of this Agreement is English. The Licensee
agrees to bear any and all costs of interpreters if necessary. If Licensee
has received a translation into another language, it has been provided for
Licensee’s convenience only. A waiver by either party of any term or
condition of this Agreement or any breach thereof, in any one instance,
shall not waive such term or condition or any subsequent breach thereof.
The provisions of this Agreement that require or contemplate
performance after the expiration or termination of this Agreement shall be
enforceable notwithstanding such expiration or termination. Licensee may
not assign or otherwise transfer by operation of law or otherwise this
Agreement or any rights or obligations herein except to an acquirer of
Licensee’s business in the case of a merger or the sale of all or
substantially all of Licensee’s assets to such acquirer. This Agreement
shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties, their
successors and permitted assigns. The relationship between Nuance and
