Environmental Information, Regulations, and Standards

If your Canon Office Imaging Product ("Product") is enabled with embedded functions for the imageWARE Remote Diagnostic Service ("iWR"), or your Product is not iWR enabled but it interacts with the iWR Plug-in program of imageWARE Enterprise Management Console ("EMC") software, then Canon USA, Canon Canada or their respective authorized independent Canon retail dealers can access Product meter readings and receive notifications of certain service errors automatically via the internet. You can read more about iWR in Canon published materials available from your dealer or on the web sites of Canon USA [www.usa.canon.com] or Canon Canada [www.canon.ca.]. iWR will only collect and transmit Product specific meter readings and service data, and will not access, collect or transmit End-User image data in the Product.
Your instruction to Canon USA, Canon Canada or your dealer to activate iWR for a Product shall be considered (i) a representation that you have an internal IP network and internet access available on a generally continuous basis; (ii) authorization by you to establish, and perform during the period of iWR activation, HTTPS communications using your network bandwidth for transmissions over the internet of use and service data accumulated by the Product, and (iii) authorization by you to store, analyze and use this data for purposes related to servicing the Product and for Product and iWR improvement.
By so instructing Canon USA, Canon Canada or your dealer, you shall also be considered to acknowledge that (A) the iWR software (embedded or plug-in) is the confidential property of Canon USA and its licensor; (B) you have no rights in such iWR software (except as the Product executes the limited data collection and transmission functions for which it is configured when delivered and you obtain the benefits of iWR as outlined in Canon published materials), (C) you shall not disassemble, decompile, reverse engineer, disclose or attempt to copy such iWR software, allow any third party to do any of the foregoing or transfer your limited rights to any other party without the prior written approval of Canon USA or Canon Canada; and (D) there are many factors outside of the control of Canon USA, Canon Canada or their respective dealers that could affect the accuracy or timing of meter readings or service data harvested by iWR and, except as expressly provided in the limited warranty statement for the Product or the End-User License Agreement for EMC software, in the case of the iWR Plug-in program, neither Canon USA, Canon Canada nor their respective dealers shall be responsible for alleged deficiencies in, or your dissatisfaction with, iWR or any software used to provide iWR. A copy of the limited warranty statement can be found within this Operator's Manual.
If your dealer ceases to be an authorized Canon USA dealer, it will no longer have access to the use and service data accumulated by iWR for your Product.
In that case, you may request or instruct Canon USA to recommend to you an alternative service provider who will have access to this data in order to maintain Product service utilizing iWR functionality.

If the Content Delivery System (CDS) Service is enabled for your Canon Office Imaging Product ("Product"), Canon USA, Canon Canada or their respective authorized independent Canon retail dealers (each a "Canon Seller") can arrange internet-based downloads for purposes of updating firmware, delivering purchased MEAP application software and activation of optional Product features. Certain related data files also may be downloaded (e.g. End-User License Agreements, conditions of export, Release Notes) to your Product.

The internet communications will occur between the Product and one or more servers managed by Canon Inc. ("Canon Server"). CDS Service will not download the firmware, software or data files for purposes other than mentioned above.

You can read more about CDS Service in Canon published materials available from your dealer or on the web sites of Canon USA [www.usa.canon.com] or Canon Canada [www.canon.ca.]. These materials include a Technology White Paper for the CDS Service.

Your instruction to Canon USA, Canon Canada or your dealer to use CDS Service or your use of CDS Service for a Product shall be considered

(i) a representation that you have an internal IP network and internet access available to Products connected to that network on a generally continuous basis;

(ii) a representation that you have an internet connection and internal network bandwidth available for the Canon Server to download files to each of the Products receiving the CDS Service. Downloaded files may vary in size; some will be on the order of several hundred MB. The CDS Service Technology White Paper contains further details.

(iii) authorization by you for the Canon Seller to establish, and perform during the period of provision of Service, HTTPS/HTTP communications using your internet and internal network bandwidth for transmissions to and from the CDS Server;

(iv) authorization by you for the Product itself or a Canon serviceperson to download or update firmware and purchased MEAP application software, data for internet-based activation of optional Product features and certain related data files to Product from the CDS Server, and to transmit service data (e.g. serial number, information of firmware) of Product to the CDS Server.

You acknowledge and agree that the Canon Seller and CDS Server may rely on internet addresses you assign to Products and that using the internet has benefits but also certain risks; ACCORDINGLY, YOU AGREE THAT THE CDS SERVICE IS PROVIDED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, THAT ANY WARRANTIES ARE DISCLAIMED AND THAT NO CANON SELLER OR CANON AFFILIATE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INJURY TO YOUR NETWORK OR TO DATA OR DEVICES NOT SUPPLIED BY A CANON SELLER. You will be responsible for network security and any data back-up. You will timely advise the Canon Seller of any security procedures the Canon Seller will need to use to provide CDS Services as described herein.

To the extent downloads involve presenting end user license terms on your network or network-connected Products (with a Canon Seller, Canon affiliate or a third party as licensor) seeking agreement to such terms, any party that you allow to respond to presented license terms will be and is authorized by you to agree (or not agree) to the terms; if license terms are not agreed, a license purchased will not be enabled and you may apply for refund of any license fees paid.

You acknowledge and agree that the firmware provided by the CDS Service is governed by the Third Party Software terms set forth in this manual.

Canon U.S.A. maintains a strict policy of not accepting or considering any creative ideas, suggestions or materials from the public ("Unsolicited Idea(s)") and therefore you should not submit any Unsolicited Idea(s) to BICG through the Services or otherwise to Canon U.S.A. Canon U.S.A. does not wish to receive Unsolicited Idea(s) from you and has expressly advised you not to submit them. If you nonetheless intend to submit an Unsolicited Idea, Canon U.S.A. strongly recommends that you first consult an attorney in order to evaluate the effect that submitting such an Unsolicited Idea would have on any rights that you might otherwise have.

Nonetheless, if you do send Canon U.S.A. an Unsolicited Idea that is not already protected by a United States patent or is not public information, it immediately becomes the property of Canon U.S.A. By submitting an Unsolicited Idea to Canon U.S.A., you agree to convey your ownership interest in the Unsolicited Idea to Canon U.S.A., and that Canon U.S.A. will exclusively own all rights, title and interest therein. Furthermore, Canon U.S.A. and its designees will be free to use, without any compensation to you whatsoever, any concepts, ideas, know-how or techniques contained in any Unsolicited Idea for any purpose whatsoever, including but not limited to developing, manufacturing, and marketing products using such information.
