The following terms and conditions supersede any terms and conditions that may
be included in the software installation package for the Software.

1. Limited Warranty; Infringement. Distributor warrants that the Software will
perform substantially in accordance with the specifications for a period of 90
days from delivery to Customer. If it is determined that the Software does not
operate according to such specifications, Distributor's only responsibility will
be to use its best efforts, consistent with industry standards, to cure the
defect. Distributor will defend, or, at its option, settle any action at law
against Customer based on a claim that Customer's use of the Software in
accordance with this Agreement infringes any patent, copyright or other
intellectual property right of any third party. Distributor shall not have any
duty or liability for such infringement if the infringement arises from
Customer's modification of the Software or from the use of the Software in
combination with other products or software not furnished by Distributor.

2. Technical Info. ZixMail messages optionally routed through ZixIt's mail
relays, rather than through Customer's email server, are limited to 10 Megabytes
compressed in size per message. See our on-line help pages, accessible through
www.zixit.com, for technical information about the ZixIt Service. Technical
support is available through the ZixIt Distributor from whom Customer subscribes
for the ZixIt Service.

3. Assignment. Either party may assign this Agreement to any third party,
provided that such party agrees to assume the obligations of the assigning party
hereunder.

4. Acknowledgements. The Software incorporates compression code by the Info-ZIP
group. There are no extra charges or costs due to the use of this code, and the
original compression sources are freely available from CompuServe in the IBMPRO
forum and by anonymous ftp from the Internet site
"ftp.uu.net/pub/archiving/zip". We will also, upon request, mail Customer the
full sources to the compression code that we use on a 3.5" MSDOS-format diskette
(or other appropriate medium) for the cost of mailing. Send U.S. $10.00 to us at
our address noted above, Attention: Legal Department, and reference "request for
Info-ZIP source code." Also, hash functions used in the Software are derived
from the RSA Data Security, Inc. MD-5 Message-Digest Algorithm. The Software
incorporates spell-checking code from The Sentry Spelling-Checker Engine,
copyright(c) 1999 WintertreeSoftware, Inc.

5. Export and Import Restrictions. The Licensed Materials contain encryption
technology that is controlled for export by the U.S. government. Under U.S. law,
Customer may not (and agrees not to) export, re-export, or download the Licensed
Materials (a) into (or to a national or resident of) Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya,
North Korea, Sudan, Syria or the Taliban-controlled areas of Afghanistan (or
other countries listed on our web site from time-to-time) or (b) to anyone on
the U.S. Treasury Department's list of Specially Designated Nationals or the
U.S. Commerce Department's Table of Denial Orders or Entity List. The Licensed
Materials may also be subject to import and/or use regulations in foreign
jurisdictions. It is the Customer's responsibility to comply with foreign laws
and regulations on encryption import, export and use.

6. DISCLAIMERS. OTHER THAN FOR A WARRANTY OF TITLE, THE LICENSED MATERIALS AND
ZIXIT SERVICE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS," "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY
KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL BE
LIABLE TO THE OTHER OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL,
PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE LICENSED MATERIALS OR ZIXIT
SERVICE. IF A COURT DETERMINES OUR DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY OR LIABILITY TO BE
INEFFECTIVE, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, THEN OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU IN
CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT
EXCEED, FOR ALL CAUSES OF ACTION THAT AROSE IN A CALENDAR YEAR, THE AMOUNTS YOU
ACTUALLY PAID TO US UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR SUCH CALENDAR YEAR. OUR LIMITS OF
LIABILITY APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF CLAIM BROUGHT, INCLUDING THOSE FOR
NEGLIGENCE.

7. Breach. If Customer breaches any term of this Agreement or if Customer
becomes insolvent or if bankruptcy or receivership proceedings are initiated by
or against Customer, Distributor shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement immediately.
