Eligibility for Student Edition License; Distinctions from Commercial Version. You acknowledge that Student Edition Licenses are provided to individual students and faculty at accredited educational institutions at prices that are significantly less than the prices to commercial users. As a consequence, Student Edition Licenses contain use restrictions that are not found in commercial licenses of the Software. Only students and faculty who meet the following criteria are qualified to purchase Student Edition Licenses:
— You are a current, degree-, diploma-, or certificate-seeking student or full-time faculty member at an accredited educational institution. A degree-, diploma- or certificate-seeking student is defined as a student who can confirm enrollment in three credit hours of courses per semester and is accepted into a degree- or diploma-granting program OR can confirm enrollment in a certificate-granting program having a duration of four or more months.
— You plan to use the Software and the files created by the Software for your personal learning purposes ONLY, e.g., not for in-person, remote or online instruction; independent consulting work; or any commercial purpose whatsoever. You may, however, use the Software and such files for any preparation of instructional materials for your own use.
Please note the following features in the Student Edition product:
— A student license for the Software expires after the number of months specified on the package, i.e., 12 months; does not include Subscription Service; and is not upgradeable.
— The Software uses a soft-lock mechanism to limit installation to one computer only.
— The Software contains on-screen and printing features that identify the software and the related files as the "SOLIDWORKS Student Edition," making it unsuitable for use in a professional environment; furthermore, files created by the Software may be prevented from being read by commercial versions of DS SolidWorks software.
— The packaging for the Student Edition uses the English language only; however, the Software has foreign-language versions and may be installed using any one of such language versions.

7. LIMITED WARRANTY, EXCEPTIONS, & DISCLAIMERS.
a. Limited Warranty. DS SolidWorks warrants that, for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of receipt by you, the media on which the Software is furnished will be free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. DS SolidWorks' entire liability and your sole remedy under this warranty shall be to replace the nonconforming media. You should return the defective media to Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks Corporation, 175 Wyman Street, Waltham, Massachusetts 02451 USA, Attn: Order Admin Warranty Administration, along with your receipt. Any replacement media will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or ten (10) days from the date of receipt by you, whichever is longer. If such remedy fails, DS SolidWorks shall refund the price you paid for the Software (upon your return of the nonconforming media to DS SolidWorks with a copy of your receipt) or provide such other remedy as may be required by law. This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights that vary from state to state or country to country.
b. Exceptions. DS SolidWorks' limited warranty as to the media is void if breach of the warranty has resulted from (i) accident, corruption, misuse or neglect of the media or (ii) acts or omissions by someone other than DS SolidWorks. DS SolidWorks does not warrant that the Software will meet your requirements or that the operation of the Software will be uninterrupted or error free.
c. Limitations on Warranties. Except for the express warranty set forth in this Article 7, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither DS SolidWorks nor any of its licensors, including, without limitation, Adobe, makes any other warranties, express, implied or arising by custom or trade usage, and DS SolidWorks and its licensors each specifically disclaims the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. In no event may you bring any claim, action or proceeding arising out of a breach of the warranty set forth in this Article 7 more than one (1) year after the date on which such breach occurred. If the Software was purchased in the United States, the above exclusions may not apply to you as some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties. In addition to the above warranty rights, you may also have other rights that vary from state to state.
d. Limitations on Liability. Except as required under local law, the liability of DS SolidWorks and/or its licensors, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with the Software or Documentation furnished hereunder shall not exceed the license fee you paid for the Software. In no event shall DS SolidWorks and/or its licensors be liable for special, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential damages (including without limitation damages resulting from loss of use, loss of data, loss of profits, loss of goodwill or loss of business) arising out of or in connection with the use of or inability to use the Software or Documentation furnished hereunder, even if DS SolidWorks and/or its licensors have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall DS SolidWorks' liability be limited in the case of death or personal injury arising as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of DS SolidWorks.
