3. More Do's and Don'ts
3.1 This Licence allows you to install and use Kazaa on a single computer.
This Licence does not permit you to install the Software on more than one
computer at a time. You may make copies of the Software in machine-
readable form for backup purposes only. The backup copy must include all
copyright information contained on the original.
3.2 Except as expressly permitted in this Licence, you agree not to reverse
engineer, de-compile, disassemble, alter, duplicate, modify, rent, lease, loan,
sublicense, make copies, create derivative works from, distribute or provide
others with the Software in whole or part, transmit or communicate the
application over a network.
3.3 You may not sell, transfer or communicate the Software to any third party
without our prior express written consent.

4. Things You Need To Know When Using Kazaa
4.1 You are responsible for paying all applicable taxes and other costs you
may incur in connection with your use of the Software including but not
limited to all hardware and software costs and providing all equipment and
software necessary to connect to our web site and to use the Software via
the Internet and any royalties or other charges relating to the use of data
owned by third parties.
4.2 Sharman may from time to time present programming fixes, updates and
upgrades to you, including version updates to the Software. You may accept
or reject such programming fixes, updates and upgrades to you, including
version updates at your sole discretion.
4.3 Installation. When you install the Software, the install program, e.g.
kmd260_en.exe, is saved to your My Shared Folder and shared out to other
users. You understand and agree that other users may download this file
from your computer and by doing so your Internet connection will be used. If
you do not want this to happen, you can delete the file or right click the file
and select 'Do Not Share This File'.
4.4 My Shared Folder. By saving a file in My Shared Folder, you understand
that it will be available for any other user of Kazaa and compatible programs.
These users may find your files and subsequently download them from you.
By doing so your Internet connection is being used.
The Software provides options regarding sharing:
* To disable sharing go to Tools->Options->Traffic and check Disable
Sharing
* To disable sharing of selected files right click the file in My Kazaa and
select Stop Sharing this file. The Kazaa program is a "peer-to-peer" program;
this means that it communicates with other peers (other Kazaa or compatible
programs). Other users may download files that you have stored in the My
Shared Folder and other folders you have selected to be shared. Don't share
files which are confidential, such as financial information, or which you do not
have the right to distribute.
While your copy of Kazaa is communicating with other peers it receives
information of the status of interconnected peers, that information is stored
on your computer.
4.5 SuperNode. Your copy of the Software may serve as a SuperNode. The
selection process is automated. When your computer is a SuperNode other
peers will upload an index of files they are sharing to your computer and they
will send search queries to your computer. Your computer will reply to these
requests and also forward the request to other SuperNodes.
If you do not want to serve as a SuperNode go to Tools -> Options ->
Advanced and check 'Do not function as a SuperNode'. When you are a
SuperNode your CPU and Internet connection is being used, but not more
than 10% of the resources will be used.

Manager, which is provided by Altnet. PeerPoints Manager allows Kazaa
users who opt in to collect reward points for having files marked with gold
icons downloaded from them by other Kazaa users. Points can be exchanged
for prizes and competition entry. The program is completely opt-in and can
be shut down or uninstalled by the user.
GAIN AdServer Software
Kazaa comes with a software component called the GAIN
AdServer, which is provided by GAIN Publishing. The GAIN AdServer
software identifies your interests based on some of your computer usage
and some of your web surfing behavior, including the URLs of Web pages
viewed by you and other criteria as set forth in GAIN Publishing
Privacy Statement. As more fully explained on GAIN Publishing website,
http://www.gainpublishing.com/help/psdocs/kmd/datause51.html, the
information collected by the GAIN AdServer software is retained by
GAIN Publishing, which uses the information to deliver GAIN branded
advertising, and various informational or promotional messages to your
computer screen while you view Web pages through the GAIN Network.
Sharman Networks has no responsibility or control over the GAIN AdServer
software, the GAIN Network or the GAIN Publishing’s data practices and
shall not be liable for any losses, damages or injuries arising therefrom.
If you would like more information about the GAIN branded advertisements
and promotional messages, please visit:

If you would like more information about GAIN Publishing’s privacy
practices generally, please visit:
http://www.gainpublishing.com/help/psdocs/kmd/privacy-help51.html.
InstaFinder
Kazaa comes with a software program called InstaFinder, which is provided by
Vista Interactive, a division of BroadSpring, Inc. InstaFinder is designed
to redirect your URL typing errors to InstaFinder’s web page. Sharman Networks
has no responsibility or control over the InstaFinder software, the InstaFinder
web page or InstaFinder’s data practices and shall not be liable for any losses,
damages or injuries arising therefrom.
TopSearch and Keywords
Kazaa regularly downloads an index of available Altnet
content. This index contains a list of available rights managed files and can
in no way alter Kazaa or any other part of your computer. Kazaa
downloads this file without collecting or using any information about you or
your computer.
Log Files
Like most Web site servers we use log files. This includes internet protocol
(IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit
pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends,
administer the site, track users’ movement in the aggregate, and gather broad
demographic information for aggregate use. We do not collect personal
information from logfiles. IP addresses are not kept after the statistics are
logged in the aggregated database.
Information Use
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter they can enter their email
address when they install Kazaa. Out of respect for users' privacy we
provide a way to opt-out of these communications. Please see the Choice
and Opt-out sections.
Technical Announcements
On rare occasions it is necessary to send out technical announcements. For
instance, if the kazaa.com website is temporarily suspended we might send
users an email. These emails are not promotional in focus but may include
advertising to cover the cost of sending.
Disclosure of Information
Legal Disclaimer
We may need to disclose personal information if required by law. For
example, to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal
process.
Aggregate Information (non-personally identifiable)
We share aggregated demographic information with our partners and
advertisers. This does not include any personally identifiable information.
Kazaa’s web search function is provided by a third party. If you choose to
use the web search function, we will provide the search keywords you enter
and your country information to our web search provider to enable your
search to be processed. No other information, personal or otherwise, is
provided to our web search provider and this information is not used or
disclosed by our web search provider for any other purpose. If you then
access a third party web site, that third party may collect information from
you directly. Please see their privacy policy for how they will handle this
information. We have no responsibility for the conduct or practices of these
third parties.
Business Transitions
In the event Sharman Networks goes through a business transition, such as a
merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its
assets, users' information will, in most instances, be part of the assets
transferred.
Users will be notified via prominent notice on www.kazaa.com for 30 days
prior to a change of ownership or control of information of users held by
Sharman Networks. If as a result of the business transition, information will
be used for a purpose different from that stated, or implied, at the time of
collection users will be given a choice consistent with our notification of
changes section.
Choice/Opt-out
Users are given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having their information used
for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for
information. For example, the Kazaa options screen has an 'opt-out'
mechanism so users who don't want any marketing material from Sharman,
can keep their email address off our lists.
If you are currently receiving the newsletter and you would like to stop
receiving it, you simply need to change your preferences in Kazaa. Next
time you start your Kazaa this will transmit to our servers that you no longer
want to receive the newsletter. You may also click on the link provided at
the bottom of our newsletter which will notify our servers to stop sending
the newsletter to you.
If you would like your details completely deleted you should let us know
using this form http://www.kazaa.com/us/privacy/privacyform.htm, with
your email address in the subject line.
Users of www.kazaa.com are always notified when their information is
being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our users can make an
informed choice as to whether or not they should proceed with services that
require an outside party.
GAIN Publishing’s GAIN AdServer software is an integral part of the
Kazaa application, and helps keep it available without charge. If you would
like to stop receiving advertisements through the GAIN AdServer and
GAIN Network, you will need to remove all GAIN supported software on
your computer, including Kazaa, using the Add/Remove Programs Control
Panel. Please see the GAIN Publishing’s GAIN Network Privacy Statement,
http://www.gainpublishing.com/help/psdocs/kmd/privacy-help51.html,
for further information.
Links
Third party links and co-brand relationships.
In an attempt to provide increased value to our visitors, we may choose
various third party web sites to link from or frame within Kazaa or
kazaa.com. We also participate in co-branding and other
relationships to offer e-commerce and other services and features to our
users.
Information about you (such as the version of Kazaa being used or your
country) may be placed in the URL on kazaa.com, allowing customized
features for the user. This will be visible to subsequent websites if you link
off a Kazaa page. However, even if the third party is affiliated
with us, we have no control over these linked sites, each of which has
separate privacy and data collection practices independent of us. Data
collected by our co-brand partners or third party web sites (even if offered
on or through our site) is not received by us. As such, we are not responsible
for, or have any control over, the privacy policies of those third party
websites, and encourage all users to read the privacy policies of each and
every website visited when linking directly from kazaa.com. These linked
sites are only for your convenience and you therefore access them at your
own risk.
Security
We take every reasonable precaution to protect information from misuse,
loss and unauthorised access. Although we cannot guarantee that users'
information will not be subject to unauthorised access by hackers, we have
appropriate security procedures in place to protect users' information.
Information is stored on secure, password protected servers and is only
accessible by employees who need the information to perform a specific job.
All employees are kept up to date on our security and privacy practices.
Finally, the servers that store user information are in a physically secure
environment.
A Special Note to Parents
Kazaa.com is a general audience website, and does not knowingly collect,
nor will ever knowingly retain, personally identifiable information from any
visitor Sharman Networks actually knows to be under thirteen years of age
without the consent of that child’s parent or legal guardian.
Updating Personal Information
Users may gain access to information that Sharman Networks has by
requesting it using this form:
http://www.kazaa.com/us/privacy/privacyform.htm. If a user's information
changes such as email address, or if a user no longer desires email
announcements or news letters, we provide a way to correct and update
users' information. Users have a responsibility to tell us if their information
changes as that is the only way we can ensure information is kept accurate
and up to date. This can be done by selecting Configure User Name
in Kazaa Tools menu.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, or practices, whether or not they
effect our handling of user information, we will post those changes to this
privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so
our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it,
and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use
information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the
information was collected. If, however, we want to use users' information
for a purpose different from that stated at the time of collection we will ask
users via email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their
information in this different manner. However, if users have opted out of all
communication with the site then they will not be contacted, nor will their
information be used in this new manner.
If you have questions or concerns regarding this statement, you should
contact us using this form:
http://www.kazaa.com/us/privacy/privacyform.htm

3. More Do's and Don'ts
3.1 This Licence allows you to install and use Kazaa on a single computer.
This Licence does not permit you to install the Software on more than one
computer at a time. You may make copies of the Software in machine-
readable form for backup purposes only. The backup copy must include all

4. Things You Need To Know When Using Kazaa
4.1 You are responsible for paying all applicable taxes and other costs you
may incur in connection with your use of the Software including but not
limited to all hardware and software costs and providing all equipment and
software necessary to connect to our web site and to use the Software via
the Internet and any royalties or other charges relating to the use of data
owned by third parties.
4.2 Sharman may from time to time present programming fixes, updates and
upgrades to you, including version updates to the Software. You may accept
or reject such programming fixes, updates and upgrades to you, including
version updates at your sole discretion.
4.3 Installation. When you install the Software, the install program, e.g.
kmd260_en.exe, is saved to your My Shared Folder and shared out to other
users. You understand and agree that other users may download this file
from your computer and by doing so your Internet connection will be used. If
you do not want this to happen, you can delete the file or right click the file
and select 'Do Not Share This File'.
4.4 My Shared Folder. By saving a file in My Shared Folder, you understand
that it will be available for any other user of Kazaa and compatible programs.
These users may find your files and subsequently download them from you.
By doing so your Internet connection is being used.
The Software provides options regarding sharing:
* To disable sharing go to Tools->Options->Traffic and check Disable
Sharing
* To disable sharing of selected files right click the file in My Kazaa and
select Stop Sharing this file. The Kazaa program is a "peer-to-peer" program;
this means that it communicates with other peers (other Kazaa or compatible
programs). Other users may download files that you have stored in the My
Shared Folder and other folders you have selected to be shared. Don't share
files which are confidential, such as financial information, or which you do not
have the right to distribute.
While your copy of Kazaa is communicating with other peers it receives
information of the status of interconnected peers, that information is stored
on your computer.
4.5 SuperNode. Your copy of the Software may serve as a SuperNode. The
selection process is automated. When your computer is a SuperNode other
peers will upload an index of files they are sharing to your computer and they
will send search queries to your computer. Your computer will reply to these
requests and also forward the request to other SuperNodes.
If you do not want to serve as a SuperNode go to Tools -> Options ->
Advanced and check 'Do not function as a SuperNode'. When you are a
SuperNode your CPU and Internet connection is being used, but not more
than 10% of the resources will be used.
5. Things You Need To Do When Using Kazaa
5.1 It is your responsibility to ensure that you obtain all consents,
authorisations and clearances in any data owned or controlled by third
parties that you transmit, access or communicate to others using Kazaa.
5.2 Sharman will not be liable in any way:
5.2.1 for any errors or omissions in any data, or for any loss or damage of
any kind incurred as a result of any data transmitted via the Software; 5.2.2 if
you are exposed to data that is offensive, indecent or objectionable; or
5.2.3 for any allegations or findings of infringement of copyright or other
proprietary rights as a result of your use of the Software.
6. Copyright Infringement
6.1 Sharman respects copyright and other laws. Sharman requires all Kazaa
users to comply with copyright and other laws. Sharman does not by the
supply of the Software authorise you to infringe the copyright or other rights
of third parties.

Information Collection and Use
Information Collection
Sharman Networks is the sole owner of the information collected through
Kazaa. Sharman Networks collects information from users at several
different points.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or
contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary
and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this
information. The requested information typically includes contact
information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic
information (such as age). Contact information will be shared with the
contest or survey sponsors to notify the winners and award prizes or
otherwise in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of each competition
or survey. Anonymous survey information will be used for purposes of
improving the use of this site. Though we may use an intermediary to
conduct these surveys or contests, they may not use users' information for
any other purposes.
Installation of Kazaa
When Kazaa runs for the first time you are asked to provide a user name,
an email address and whether or not you would like to receive a newsletter.
Your email address only is transmitted to our web site at this time and after
you update your email address. This information is used solely to provide
you with product announcements (including new features and upgrades) and
newsletters which you can choose not to receive. You are also asked what
country you live in. This information is used inside Kazaa to customize the
application according to which country you are in. This information is also
used by us to provide you with promotional material and offers by our
partners that are available in your country. Only your country and no other
information (personal or otherwise) is used.
Cookies
A cookie is information that a web site puts on the hard disk so that it can
use it at a later time. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally
identifiable information while on our site or using Kazaa nor is any
information about a cookie sent back to a central server. Cookies can be
removed by following Internet browser help file directions.
Cookies are used within Kazaa and on the website to identify which
version number of Kazaa you are currently using. When you try to launch
Kazaa with an outdated version we are able to suggest at that time that you
upgrade to the latest version. Cookies do not enable us to track your activity
when using Kazaa or visiting sites other than the Kazaa.com website.
Sharman Networks has no ability to supervise, control or record your
activity.
We do not store your name, your email address, your username or any other
personally identifiable data in the cookie. Some of our business partners use
cookies on our site. We have no access to or control over these cookies,
once we have given permission for them to set cookies for advertising. The
information collected and the uses to which that information can be put are
set out in our partners' privacy policies. This privacy statement covers the
use of cookies by www.kazaa.com and use of Kazaa only and does not
cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

times they have viewed an ad (but not user name, address, or other personal
information), is used to serve ads to users. If you would like more

be shut down or uninstalled by the user.
GAIN AdServer Software
Kazaa comes with a software component called the GAIN
AdServer, which is provided by GAIN Publishing. The GAIN AdServer
software identifies your interests based on some of your computer usage
and some of your web surfing behavior, including the URLs of Web pages
viewed by you and other criteria as set forth in GAIN Publishing
Privacy Statement. As more fully explained on GAIN Publishing website,
http://www.gainpublishing.com/help/psdocs/kmd/datause51.html, the
information collected by the GAIN AdServer software is retained by

advertising, and various informational or promotional messages to your

software, the GAIN Network or the GAIN Publishing’s data practices and
shall not be liable for any losses, damages or injuries arising therefrom.

practices generally, please visit:

Kazaa comes with a software program called InstaFinder, which is provided by
Vista Interactive, a division of BroadSpring, Inc. InstaFinder is designed
to redirect your URL typing errors to InstaFinder’s web page. Sharman Networks
has no responsibility or control over the InstaFinder software, the InstaFinder
web page or InstaFinder’s data practices and shall not be liable for any losses,
damages or injuries arising therefrom.
TopSearch and Keywords
Kazaa regularly downloads an index of available Altnet
content. This index contains a list of available rights managed files and can
in no way alter Kazaa or any other part of your computer. Kazaa
downloads this file without collecting or using any information about you or
your computer.
Log Files
Like most Web site servers we use log files. This includes internet protocol
(IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit
pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends,
administer the site, track users’ movement in the aggregate, and gather broad
demographic information for aggregate use. We do not collect personal
information from logfiles. IP addresses are not kept after the statistics are
logged in the aggregated database.
Information Use
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter they can enter their email
address when they install Kazaa. Out of respect for users' privacy we
provide a way to opt-out of these communications. Please see the Choice
and Opt-out sections.
Technical Announcements
On rare occasions it is necessary to send out technical announcements. For
instance, if the kazaa.com website is temporarily suspended we might send
users an email. These emails are not promotional in focus but may include
advertising to cover the cost of sending.
Disclosure of Information
Legal Disclaimer
We may need to disclose personal information if required by law. For
example, to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal
process.
Aggregate Information (non-personally identifiable)
We share aggregated demographic information with our partners and
advertisers. This does not include any personally identifiable information.
Kazaa’s web search function is provided by a third party. If you choose to
use the web search function, we will provide the search keywords you enter
and your country information to our web search provider to enable your
search to be processed. No other information, personal or otherwise, is
provided to our web search provider and this information is not used or
disclosed by our web search provider for any other purpose. If you then
access a third party web site, that third party may collect information from
you directly. Please see their privacy policy for how they will handle this
information. We have no responsibility for the conduct or practices of these
third parties.
Business Transitions
In the event Sharman Networks goes through a business transition, such as a
merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its
assets, users' information will, in most instances, be part of the assets
transferred.
Users will be notified via prominent notice on www.kazaa.com for 30 days
prior to a change of ownership or control of information of users held by
Sharman Networks. If as a result of the business transition, information will
be used for a purpose different from that stated, or implied, at the time of
collection users will be given a choice consistent with our notification of
changes section.
Choice/Opt-out
Users are given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having their information used
for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for
information. For example, the Kazaa options screen has an 'opt-out'
mechanism so users who don't want any marketing material from Sharman,
can keep their email address off our lists.
If you are currently receiving the newsletter and you would like to stop
receiving it, you simply need to change your preferences in Kazaa. Next
time you start your Kazaa this will transmit to our servers that you no longer
want to receive the newsletter. You may also click on the link provided at
the bottom of our newsletter which will notify our servers to stop sending
the newsletter to you.
If you would like your details completely deleted you should let us know
using this form http://www.kazaa.com/us/privacy/privacyform.htm, with
your email address in the subject line.
Users of www.kazaa.com are always notified when their information is
being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our users can make an
informed choice as to whether or not they should proceed with services that
require an outside party.
GAIN Publishing’s GAIN AdServer software is an integral part of the
Kazaa application, and helps keep it available without charge. If you would
like to stop receiving advertisements through the GAIN AdServer and
GAIN Network, you will need to remove all GAIN supported software on
your computer, including Kazaa, using the Add/Remove Programs Control
Panel. Please see the GAIN Publishing’s GAIN Network Privacy Statement,
http://www.gainpublishing.com/help/psdocs/kmd/privacy-help51.html,
for further information.
Links
Third party links and co-brand relationships.
In an attempt to provide increased value to our visitors, we may choose
various third party web sites to link from or frame within Kazaa or
kazaa.com. We also participate in co-branding and other
relationships to offer e-commerce and other services and features to our
users.
Information about you (such as the version of Kazaa being used or your
country) may be placed in the URL on kazaa.com, allowing customized
features for the user. This will be visible to subsequent websites if you link
off a Kazaa page. However, even if the third party is affiliated
with us, we have no control over these linked sites, each of which has
separate privacy and data collection practices independent of us. Data
collected by our co-brand partners or third party web sites (even if offered
on or through our site) is not received by us. As such, we are not responsible
for, or have any control over, the privacy policies of those third party
websites, and encourage all users to read the privacy policies of each and
every website visited when linking directly from kazaa.com. These linked
sites are only for your convenience and you therefore access them at your
own risk.
Security
We take every reasonable precaution to protect information from misuse,
loss and unauthorised access. Although we cannot guarantee that users'
information will not be subject to unauthorised access by hackers, we have
appropriate security procedures in place to protect users' information.
Information is stored on secure, password protected servers and is only
accessible by employees who need the information to perform a specific job.
All employees are kept up to date on our security and privacy practices.
Finally, the servers that store user information are in a physically secure
environment.
A Special Note to Parents
Kazaa.com is a general audience website, and does not knowingly collect,
nor will ever knowingly retain, personally identifiable information from any
visitor Sharman Networks actually knows to be under thirteen years of age
without the consent of that child’s parent or legal guardian.
Updating Personal Information
Users may gain access to information that Sharman Networks has by
requesting it using this form:
http://www.kazaa.com/us/privacy/privacyform.htm. If a user's information
changes such as email address, or if a user no longer desires email
announcements or news letters, we provide a way to correct and update
users' information. Users have a responsibility to tell us if their information
changes as that is the only way we can ensure information is kept accurate
and up to date. This can be done by selecting Configure User Name
