By installing or using the Software, you are accepting and agreeing to the terms of this License Agreement. If you do not have the authority to bind the person or entity which will use the Software, do not install the Software or accept and agree to the terms of this License Agreement without obtaining approval from a person having such authority. If you are not willing to be bound by the terms of this License Agreement, you should promptly and permanently remove from your system and render inaccessible the Software and the end user documentation.

2.       LICENSED RIGHTS

 

(a)  Free License. You may use the Software without purchasing a Software license. The Free License allows you to use the Software in "light" mode.

You may purchase a Single User License or a Network License at any time to upgrade the Software to a full license with all features and functionality in the Software enabled.

 

(b)  Single User License.

 

(1)   Installation and Restrictions. If you purchase a Single User License, the Software will be restricted to the computer and user name for which the license is activated. Single User Licenses are not permitted to be used on virtual servers or other "thin client" computer configurations. Reformatting your computer s hard drive or changing hardware components will require deactivation and reactivation of your license.

 

(2)   Term. Single User Licenses are purchased as a one-year subscription. Your License will expire at the end of one year, and you may purchase a license renewal for another year.

 

(c)  Network License.

 

(1)   Use. If you purchase a Network License, the Software may be installed on multiple computers and the license may be shared by multiple users. The number of Network Licenses purchased is the maximum number of concurrent users permitted. Your Network License usage will be managed by the file system on a shared network folder. An end user must close the Software before another end user may use the Network License and Software.

 

(2)   Term. Licenses are purchased as a one-year subscription. Your License will expire at the end of one year, and you may purchase a license renewal for another year.

 

(3)   Restrictions. Network Licenses may only be used by end users employed by the company that purchased the license and only by employees located in the same country as the license server. Changes to your network environment or shared network folder location will require deactivation and reactivation of your license.

 

3.       RESTRICTIONS ON USE AND TRANSFER

 

(a)  Copies. You may retain installers and executables for the Software for backup purposes only. You may not copy or distribute the end user documentation or supplemental files for any reason.

Under no circumstance are you or any person under your authority or control permitted to use the Software or end user documentation or to make or use any copies thereof in excess of the rights provided to you in this License Agreement.

 

(b)  Assignment of Rights. You will not voluntarily or involuntarily, in any form or manner, assign, transfer, or pledge the Software, end user documentation, or other rights under this License Agreement to any other person or entity, including any assignment or transfer incident to your merger or consolidation with another entity, or any assignment or transfer by operation of law, without our prior written consent.

You agree that any modification, enhancement, derivative work, or other improvement to the Software and the end user documentation developed by us, you, your employees, or independent contractors, whether with or without our consent, advice, or support, will be our exclusive property and you hereby assign to us all such rights, title, and interest therein and agree to make such further assignments and take any other affirmative actions we request to further manifest such assignment. Any such modified, enhanced, or derivative versions of the Software and end user documentation will not constitute software or user documentation different from the Software and the end user documentation, and, as such, will be subject to and governed under the terms and conditions of this License Agreement.

You will establish adequate operational back-up systems and procedures to ensure recovery and continuity of your data, systems, and operations in the event of a failure.

An "error" is any failure of the Software to function in substantial conformity with the applicable end user documentation we provide with the Software. We may correct errors by making revisions to programming or by providing reasonable "work-around" solutions. We reserve the right to modify any end user documentation if the end user documentation, in our sole determination, incorrectly describes the Software functions and may do so in order to resolve an error.

We provide no warranties of any kind, limited or otherwise, for Software licensed under a Free License.

 

Except for the limited warranty provided above, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim and exclude all representations, warranties, and conditions, whether express, implied, or statutory, including all representations, warranties, or conditions of title, non-infringement, satisfactory condition, merchantability, suitability, and fitness for a particular purpose, with respect to the Software and end user documentation.

Some jurisdictions and countries do not allow exclusion or limitation of the above damages, so these exclusions and limitations may not apply to you. You may not bring an action, regardless of form, arising by reason of or in connection with this License Agreement more than 1 year after the cause of action has arisen.

 

Your sole and exclusive remedy for any claims related to the Software, end user documentation, or this License Agreement will be, in our sole discretion, to return to you the fees you paid for the Software license or to replace the Software that does not meet the limited warranty described in this License Agreement.
