Note that Nokia does not offer a warranty for applications from non-Nokia sites. If you choose to download applications from them, you should take the same precautions, for security or content, as you would with any site.

Copyright protections may prevent some images, ringing tones and other content from being copied, modified, transferred or forwarded.

When you install an application that uses both .JAD and .JAR files, both files must be saved to the same folder on your PC before the installation.
