Preinstalled Software Products are licensed for use only on the Lenovo hardware product on which they are preinstalled or included with and may be transferred only with that Lenovo hardware product. They may not be transferred independent of the Lenovo hardware product.

4. Third Party Software Components and Products

Some Lenovo Software Products and future updates and patches may contain third party components, which may include Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment. These third party components are provided to You under separate terms and conditions different from this Agreement, typically found in a separate license agreement or in a README (or similarly titled) file. The third party's license terms and use restrictions will solely govern the use of such components.    
Third Party Software Products provided by Lenovo may be governed by the terms of this Agreement but are usually licensed by the Third Party under its own terms and conditions.  Third Party Software Products that are not licensed by Lenovo are subject solely to the terms of their accompanying license agreements.

You are responsible for any personal property taxes for the Software Product from the date that You acquire it.

7. No Warranty

The Software Product(s) is provided to You "AS IS". 
SUBJECT TO ANY STATUTORY WARRANTIES WHICH CANNOT BE EXCLUDED, LENOVO MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, REGARDING THE SOFTWARE PRODUCT OR TECHNICAL SUPPORT, IF ANY.
The exclusion also applies to any of Lenovo's developers and suppliers.
Suppliers or publishers of non-Lenovo Software Products may provide their own warranties.
Lenovo does not provide technical support, unless Lenovo specifies otherwise in writing.

8. Limitation of Liability

Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on Lenovo's part or other liability, You may be entitled to recover damages from Lenovo. In each such instance, regardless of the basis on which You are entitled to claim damages from Lenovo (including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other contract or tort claim), except and to the extent that liability cannot be waived or limited by applicable laws, Lenovo is liable for no more than the amount of actual direct damages suffered by You, up to the amount You paid for the Software Product.  This limit does not apply to damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property and tangible personal property for which Lenovo is required by law to be liable. 
This limit also applies to Lenovo's suppliers and resellers. It is the maximum for which Lenovo, its suppliers and resellers are collectively responsible.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS LENOVO, ITS SUPPLIERS OR RESELLERS LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING EVEN IF INFORMED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY: 1) THIRD PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES; 2) LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE TO, YOUR DATA; OR 3) SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR FOR ANY ECONOMIC CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS REVENUE, GOODWILL, OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS.
