horses, droppers, worms, logic bombs, and the like.

ADDENDUM TO THE MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT
=================================================================================
IMPORTANT: By using the Microsoft software files (the "Microsoft Software") provided with this Addendum, you
are agreeing to be bound by the following terms. If you do not agree to be bound by these terms, you may not use
the Microsoft Software.
The Microsoft Software is provided for the sole purpose of replacing the corresponding files provided with a
previously licensed copy of the Microsoft software product ("ORIGINAL PRODUCT"). Upon installation, the
Microsoft Software files become part of the ORIGINAL PRODUCT and are subject to the same warranty and
license terms and conditions as the ORIGINAL PRODUCT. If you do not have a valid license to use the
ORIGINAL PRODUCT, you may not use the Microsoft Software. Any other use of the Microsoft Software is
prohibited.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed on the part of Broadxent as advocating or authorizing the
infringement of local and/or international laws applicable to your jurisdiction.
DRM ADDENDUM TO THE MICROSOFT WMFSDK9 SERIES AGREEMENT
=================================================================================
Content providers are using the Microsoft digital rights management technology for Windows Media distributed
with this software ("WM-DRM") to protect the integrity of their content ("Secure Content") so that their intellectual
property, including copyright, in such content is not misappropriated. Portions of this software and other third party
applications use WM-DRM to play Secure Content ("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 content. A list of revoked
WM-DRM Software is sent to your computer whenever you download a license for Secure Content from the
Internet. Microsoft may, in conjunction with such license, also download revocation lists onto your computer on
behalf of Secure Content Owners. Secure Content Owners may also require you to upgrade some of the WM-DRM
components distributed with this software ("WM-DRM Upgrades") 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
required 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 will not be able to access content that requires the
WM-DRM Upgrade; however, you will 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 acquiring 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 Content if you have a valid license for such content already stored on your computer.
SPECIAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO THE EUROPEAN UNION
=================================================================================
If you acquired the Software in the European Union (EU),the following provisions also apply to you. If there is any
inconsistency between the terms of the Software License Agreement set out earlier and in the following provisions,
the following provisions shall take precedence.

information related to the interopretability of the Software with other programs, you shall not decompile or
disassemble the Software to obtain such information, and you agree to request such information from Broadxent at
the address listed earlier. Upon receiving such a request, Broadxent shall determine whether you require such
information for a legitimate purpose and, if so, Broadxent will provide such information to you within a reasonable
time and on reasonable conditions.
Limited Warranty
EXCEPT AS STATED EARLIER IN THIS AGREEMENT, AND AS PROVIDED UNDER THE HEADING
"STATUTORY RIGHTS", THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED AS-IS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,

Statutory rights
Irish law provides that certain conditions and warranties may be implied in contracts for the sale of goods and in
contracts for the supply of services. Such conditions and warranties are hereby excluded, to the extent such
exclusion, in the context of this transaction, is lawful under Irish law. Conversely, such conditions and warranties,
insofar as they may not be lawfully excluded, shall apply. Accordingly nothing in this Agreement shall prejudice
any rights that you may enjoy by virtue of Sections 12, 13, 14 or 15
of the Irish Sale of Goods Act 1893 (as amended).

Important Safety Instructions
This section provides basic safety information for your Broadxent BritePort DSL Bridge 8012-G1
modem.
Prior to using your modem, carefully read and understand the safety instructions. These instructions
must be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
• Make sure that your modem is not exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat radiation.
• Keep your modem at a place where there is minimum risk of spilling any liquid.
• The surrounding ambient temperature must not exceed 400C (1040F).
• Avoid humid conditions. Do not place the product near a water source or outlet such as a
bath tub, sink, wash bowl, laundry tub, swimming pool, rain, wet or humid wall, and so on.
• Never clean your modem with a damp cloth or use any liquid cleaner.
• Do not press, put any weight, or bend the power cord connected to a telephone equipment.
• To avoid risk of an electric shock during lightning, do not use any telephone equipment that
is connected to an electric socket.
• In case of a gas leak, do not use any electric switch that is located in the vicinity of the leak.
• To report a gas leak, do not use any telephone equipment that is connected to an electric
power outlet in the vicinity of the leak.
• Do not use any electric product, electric cord, or power socket that is even partially
damaged.
• Do not expose yourself to dangerous voltages by opening the cover of your modem or
dismantling it.
• You must not access the internal assembly or circuit board of your modem — none of its
parts are user replaceable.
• Do not dispose off the batteries in fire — they may explode and cause injury. Besides, you
must follow the local codes for special disposal instructions.
• If your modem needs any service or repairs, only qualified service personnel must handle it.
