7. Prior the use of the Software Product, it is required that you have read carefully, accept and agree with all of the paragraphs of the corresponding manuals of the Software Product and of PeopleCert in general, as well as your unconditional acceptance that your Computers, as well as the software of your Computers comply with the minimum requirements for the appropriate function of the Software Product.
