ction use and may contain errors affecting their proper operation. You agree th
at you will not do anything to circumvent or defeat the features designed to sto
p the Software from operating after the license expires.
6. FIREWALL CONFIGURATION. The Software configures certain firewall applicatio
ns such that the user is not alerted when the Software requests or receives data
necessary for playback of content over the UDP protocol.
7. AUTOMATIC COMMUNICATIONS FEATURES.
a) The Software consists of interactive Internet applications that perform a va
riety of communications over the Internet as part of their normal operation. A
number of communications features are automatic and are enabled by default. By i
nstalling and/or using the Software, you consent to the Software's communication
s features. Once you log into the Software, user information including your use
r id will be sent in communications with RN's servers. This information is used
to access your regular account, premium content, non-premium content, services,
features, and other personalized services. RN may match the user id to personall
y identifiable information in order to provide you with products, services, and
software that you're entitled to and to provide you with relevant information. Y
ou are responsible for any telecommunications or other connectivity charges incu
rred through use of the Software.
b) Cookies: The Software also allows the use of cookies, similar to an Internet
browser. This allows any website to set cookies for you when you view any of t
he website's content through the Software, unless you have disabled cookies. If
you have disabled cookies, you may be asked to login each time you access premiu
m software features and services and some Real services may not function properl
y. To learn more, visit the RealNetworks Privacy Policy link on our website at h
ttp://www.realnetworks.com/company/privacy/index.html.
c) AutoUpdate: The RealPlayer, using AutoUpdate, automatically communicates wit
h RN's servers on the Internet to check for updates to RN's and RN partner's sof
tware, such as bug fixes, patches, enhanced functions, missing plug-ins and new
versions. AutoUpdate also has the capability to run independently of RealPlayer
to perform background update checks. RN may download updates during the backgrou
nd checks, when RealPlayer automatically communicates with RN's servers, when yo
u manually check for updates, or when RealPlayer detects a file it does not supp
ort. AutoUpdate sends information about installed RealNetworks' products and com
ponents to the servers to determine upgrade availability. If you prefer to be no
tified when an auto-update is performed, follow these steps: On the Tools menu,
select Preferences, AutoUpdate, and then de-select "Automatically download and i
nstall software updates."
d) Message Center: The RealPlayer software, using Message Center, automatically
communicates with RN's servers to check for new important messages, including s
oftware updates and service bulletins. Message Center can also run independentl
y of RealPlayer to perform background message checks. Message Center sends infor
mation about installed RealNetworks' products and components to the servers to d
etermine relevant software update messages. Message Center is set by default to
check for messages once or twice a week and to display the headline portion of s
uch messages when they arrive. You can change the way Message Center displays m
essages and the frequency with which it checks for new ones by following these s
teps: on the View menu, select 'Message Center', then within Message Center, sel
ect 'Options', select 'Preferences' and set your desired preferences. If you sig
n up for message topics that necessitate a greater frequency than you previously
selected, your frequency setting may be adjusted to accommodate your topic choi
ces.
e) Secure Content Consumption: The RealPlayer client may be required to send st
atistical data to servers regarding the consumption by an end user of content se
cured using the digital rights management technology contained in this Software
to protect the integrity of the content ("Secure Content"). This communication s
erves to enable the content provider to calculate usage-based royalty amounts ne
eding to be paid to owners of such Secure Content ("Secure Content Owners").
8. SCHEDULER. An application Scheduler, known as "realsched.exe," is installed
along with RealPlayer. Once installed, it runs independently of RealPlayer. The
Scheduler does not collect personal information or communicate with RealNetworks
' servers. It is used to remind AutoUpdate, Message Center and the Watch Folders
feature to perform their tasks at pre-scheduled intervals. Scheduler also watch
es for and alerts RealPlayer to connection and disconnection of portable devices
. You can control these activities via the Automatic Services section of the Pre
ferences dialog, located under the Tools menu.
9. DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS ("DRMs").
a) The Software includes a DRM called the RealSystem Media Commerce Update Soft
ware ("Media Commerce Software") and may include third party DRMs as Plug-in com
ponents, which are subject to their own license agreements. DRMs are designed t
o manage and enforce intellectual property rights in digital content purchased o
ver the Internet. You may not take any action to circumvent or defeat the securi
ty or content usage rules provided or enforced by either the DRM or the Software
. DRMs may be able to revoke your ability to use applicable content. RN is not
responsible for the operation of third party DRM in any way, including revocati
on of your content. RN is not responsible for any communications to or from any
third party DRM provider, or for the collection or use of information by third p
arty DRMs. You consent to the communications enabled and/or performed by the DR
M, including automatic updating of the DRM without further notice, despite the p
rovisions of AutoUpdate defined in Section 6(c). You agree to indemnify and hol
d harmless RN for any claim relating to your use of a third party DRM.
b) Content providers are using the digital rights management technology contain
ed in this Software to protect the integrity of their Secure Content so that the
ir intellectual property, including copyright, in such content is not misappropr
iated. Secure Content Owners may, from time to time, request RN or its supplier
s to provide security related updates to the DRM components of the Software ("Se
curity Updates") that may affect your ability to copy, display and/or utilize th
e Software. You therefore agree that, if you elect to download a license from t
he Internet which enables your use of Secure Content, RN or its suppliers may, i
n conjunction with such license, also download onto your computer such Security
Updates that a Secure Content Owner has requested that RN or its suppliers distr
ibute. Unless notification is provided to you, RN and its suppliers will not re
trieve any personally identifiable information, or other information, from your
computer by downloading such Security Updates.
c) The Media Commerce Software allows you to receive and playback content that
has been digitally secured by a content provider. The Media Commerce Software in
teracts with your computer in the following ways:
1. Hardware information: In order to download the appropriate software, RealPla
yer must send certain anonymous information about the hardware on your computer
to the RealNetworks download server. Once the software is installed, informatio
n about your hardware will not be stored on any server. Hardware information wi
ll also be sent for content passes, as described below.
2. Content passes: When obtaining passes for playback of content (such as a mus
ic or video file) in RealPlayer, information about your specific Media Commerce
Software installation and hardware will be sent to the content provider for incl
usion in the pass. This installation and hardware information will be scrambled
a different way each time it is sent, usable only for inclusion in your pass.
3. Personal information: Media Commerce Software will not associate itself with
any personal information in RealPlayer or anywhere else on your computer. Real
Networks' use of any personal information is governed by the RealNetworks privac
y policy (http://www.realnetworks.com/company/privacy/index.html). RealNetworks
does not share with third parties any personal information you provide in conne
ction with our products without first obtaining your informed consent.
4. Financial information: Media Commerce Software does not interact with the pr
ocess of secure financial transactions, e.g. credit card transactions. These tr
ansactions are handled by the website providing the content and are governed by
that party's privacy policy.
5. Usage information: RealNetworks may keep statistics on the aggregated anonym
ous use of the Media Commerce Software. However, content partners using the Med
ia Commerce Software will not provide RealNetworks with information on specific
content for which an individual user obtains passes.
d) Secure content owners may be using the Microsoft digital rights management t
echnology for Windows Media distributed with this software ("WM-DRM") to protect
the integrity of their content ("Secure Content") so that their intellectual pr
operty, including copyright, in such content is not misappropriated. Portions o
f this software and other third party applications use WM-DRM to play Secure Con
tent ("WM-DRM Software"). If the WM-DRM Software's security has been compromised
, owners of Secure Content ("Secure Content Owners") may request that Microsoft
revoke the WM-DRM Software's right to copy, display and/or play Secure Content.
Revocation does not alter the WM-DRM Software's ability to play unprotected con
tent. A list of revoked WM-DRM Software is sent to your computer whenever you d
ownload a license for Secure Content from the Internet. Microsoft may, in conju
nction with such license, also download revocation lists onto your computer on b
ehalf of Secure Content Owners. Secure Content Owners may also require you to u
pgrade some of the WM-DRM components distributed with this software ("WM-DRM Upg
rades") 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 requ
ired and then ask for your consent before the WM-DRM Upgrade is downloaded. Non
-Microsoft WM-DRM Software may do the same. If you decline the upgrade, you wil
l not be able to access content that requires the WM-DRM Upgrade; however, you w
ill still be able to access unprotected content and Secure Content that does not
require the upgrade. WM-DRM features that access the Internet, such as acquiri
ng new licenses and/or performing a required WM-DRM Upgrade, can be switched off
. When these features are switched off, you will still be able to play Secure C
ontent if you have a valid license for such content already stored on your compu
ter.
10. TITLE. Title, ownership, rights, and intellectual property rights in and t
o the Software and Documentation shall remain in RN and/or its suppliers. The S
oftware and the Services are protected by the copyright laws of the United State
s and international copyright treaties. Title, ownership rights and intellectua
l property rights in and to the content accessed through the Software and the Se
rvices ("Content") including the content contained in the Software media demonst
