SPECIAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO THE EUROPEAN UNION
If You acquired the Materials 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 the following provisions, the following provisions shall take precedence.
1. Distribution. You may sublicense modifications of the Software covered in this Agreement if they meet the requirements of clause 9 above.
2. 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, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, QUALITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

4. 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).
5. General. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Republic of Ireland. The local language version of this agreement shall apply to Materials acquired in the EU. This Agreement is the entire agreement between us with respect to the subject matter hereof and You agree that TPC will not have any liability for any untrue statement or representation made by it, its agents or anyone else (whether innocently or negligently) upon which You relied upon entering this Agreement, unless such untrue statement or representation was made fraudulently.
