5. XPUN control

⁽¹⁾ Since 2020, some governments have introduced certain restrictive laws of disintegration nature in their territories that are incompatible with this Policy. The Laboratory sees it as its task to avoid any conflicts associated with this discrepancy. The only way to do this, available at the time of publication of this Policy revision, is to make all Policy Objects unavailable in those areas. In this regard, XPUN control was developed.

⁽²⁾ This algorithm is present in all actual Policy Objects except those covered by other licenses and policies that override this Policy. Namely:

⁽³⁾ The only function of XPUN is to restrict the launch of Policy Objects in the following territories:

 

6. End user license agreement

⁽⁰⁾ Policy Objects and any updates are being delivered “as is”. Laboratory may try to, but does not and cannot warrant the performance, results, absence of crushes and / or data losses you may obtain by using them. All Policy Objects are used at your own risk, without any guarantees and compensations, explicit and implied (except described above). The Policy doesn’t provide for any liability on the part of the Laboratory.
