Alesis sells or transfers the Manual to you on the following terms and conditions:
Only Service Centers authorized by Alesis in writing are authorized to perform service and repairs
covered by an Alesis warranty (if any), and transfer of the Manual to you does not authorize you

warranties of Alesis as to that product and any service contract with Alesis for that
product shall be voided and shall no longer apply for such product, even if your services
or repairs were done in accordance with the Manual.
All service or repairs done by you or with reference to the Manual shall be solely your
responsibility, and Alesis shall have no liability for any such repairs or service work. All such
service or repairs are performed at the sole risk of the person performing the service or

manner at all times and to indemnify and fully hold Alesis and its successors and assigns
harmless in the event of any failure to so perform.
Your purchase of the Manual shall be for your own ultimate use and shall not be for purposes of
resale or other transfer.
As the owner of the copyright to the Manual, Alesis does not give you the right to copy the
Manual, and you agree not to copy the Manual without the written authorization of Alesis. Alesis
has no obligation to provide to you any correction of, or supplement to, the Manual, or any new or
superseding version thereof.
Alesis shall have the right to refuse to sell or otherwise transfer repair parts or materials to you in
its sole discretion. You shall not use, sell or otherwise transfer spare or replacement parts
supplied by Alesis to you (i) to repair or be used in products manufactured for or by third parties
or (ii) to any third parties for any purpose.
You shall not make any warranties or guarantees with respect to the products of Alesis or the use
thereof on behalf of Alesis or in your own name.
The foregoing describes the entire understanding related to sale or transfer of the Manual to you,
and no other terms shall apply unless in a writing signed by an authorized representative of
Alesis.
