Art. 1 Copyright and License
1. The data stored on the CD-ROM, the software and the handbook - hereinafter referred to 
as the Objects - are protected by copyright. If not mentioned otherwise (see 5, 6, 7 of this 
article), any rights in them lie exclusively with Springer-Verlag.
2. The user is, not exclusively on the basis of the law of obligations, entitled to use the 
Objects in the way described in the handbook and or/the readme files. Any other ways or

obtained by acquiring the corresponding multi-user or network version of the CD-ROM 
and paying the purchase price which is valid for that version at the time. In any other 
respect that version is subject to the same conditions of use.
4. The user shall store the Objects with due care in order to prevent third persons from 
accessing and abusing the Objects. The data stored on the Objects may not be reproduced.

Art. 2 Warranty

Springer-Verlag and the authors accept no legal responsibility for any damage caused by 
improper use of the instructions and programs contained in the Objects. Although the software 
has been tested with extreme care, errors in the software cannot be excluded. Springer-Verlag 
and the authors make no warranty, either express or implied, with respect to the Objects, 
including their quality, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose. In no event will 
Springer-Verlag and the authors be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or 
consequental damages arising out of the use or inability to the Objects.


Art. 3 Consultancy
1. Springer-Verlag offers the possibility of asking the originator questions with respect to the 
use of the Objects. There is, however, no legal entitlement to the availability of this service.
2. The questions may refer to the installation of the program or to problems concerning its 
operation and use.
