Use precautions
Your phone allows you to download ring tones, icons and animated screensavers. Some of these items may
contain data that may cause malfunctions of your phone or data losses (virus for example).
For this reason, SAGEM SA rejects all responsibility concerning (1) the reception of downloaded data or losses
of the said data, (2) the impact on the operation of the phone and (3) damages resulting from receiving the
said downloaded data or loss of said data. In addition, SAGEM SA states that a failure caused by receiving
downloaded data that do not comply with the specifications set by SAGEM SA is excluded from the warranty.
Consequently, the diagnosis and repair of a phone infected by the said downloaded data will be at the
expense of the customer.
Any content that you download to your phone may be protected by copyright belonging to third parties and
consequently you may not have the right to use this content or its use may be restricted. Consequently it is
up to you to ensure that you have permission, such as under the terms of a license agreement, to use any
content that you download. Furthermore, SAGEM SA does not guarantee the accuracy nor the quality of any
content that you download. You alone are responsible for the content that you download to your mobile phone
and how you use it. SAGEM SA cannot be held responsible for this content nor for its use.
It is your responsibility to ensure compliance, at your own expense, with the laws and regulations applicable
in the country where you use your phone.
