You agree to use the Program, Documentation and Content only for lawful purposes. Any use of the Program, Documentation or Content other than as granted in this EULA must be approved by the Company’s prior written consent. The Company maintains an ongoing EULA enforcement program. Violation of any provision in this EULA automatically terminates this EULA. The Company reserves all other rights that it may have for violation of this EULA.

PROGRAM LICENSE

Subject to the terms and conditions of this EULA and your payment of the license fee, the Company grants you a limited, personal, nontransferable and nonexclusive license (without the right to sublicense): (i) to use a single copy of the Program (except as expressly permitted in the Documentation) solely for your own internal business operations on a single computer as set forth in Section K below for production operation or, on a temporary basis, on a backup system if such equipment is inoperative, consistent with the limitations specified or referenced in this EULA and the Documentation; (ii) to use the Documentation provided with the Program in support of your authorized use of the Program; and (iii) to copy the Program to make one (1) archival copy of the Program for your personal archival or backup purposes, and to make a sufficient number of copies for Legitimate Uses or the intended use described in the Documentation, provided that all titles and trademark, copyright and restricted rights notices are reproduced on all such copies. Any other uses of the Program, including without limitation the Program interface, other than those granted in this EULA must be approved by the Company’s prior written consent.

You will not use, copy, modify, derive, or transfer the Program or Documentation, or any copy, modification, derivation, or merged portion thereof, in whole or in part via any means or for any purpose whatsoever except as expressly permitted in this EULA or the Documentation. You will not relicense, sublicense, rent, lease, or lend the Program for third-party training, commercial time-sharing or service bureau use. You will not, and will not permit any third party to, reverse engineer, decompile, debug, disassemble, circumvent the security features of, or interfere with the normal functionality and operation of the Program for any reason whatsoever without the express prior written consent of the Company or except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law. If the Program is an upgrade to a previous version of the Program, you must possess and maintain a valid license to such previous version in order to use the upgrade.

You expressly acknowledge that the Company has a valuable proprietary interest in both the Program and the Documentation. All title, ownership, interest and rights in and to the patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret and any other intellectual property rights in the Program (and any derivative works thereof) and the Documentation (and any derivative works thereof), not expressly granted to you by this EULA remain with the Company. You do not acquire any other rights, express or implied, in the Program (and any derivative works thereof) and the Documentation (and any derivative works thereof) other than those rights expressly granted under this EULA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company retains all title, ownership, interest and rights in and to the patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret and any other intellectual property rights in the copy of the Program contained on your archival media, and all of the terms of this EULA apply to such archival copy as if it were the original Company-produced copy of the Program that was furnished to you when you paid the licensing fee.

Except as otherwise expressly permitted in the Documentation, you will only use the Program on a single computer, meaning that you must treat the Program “like a book.” “Like a book” means that the Program may be used by any number of people and may be installed and activated on up to three (3) computers so long as no possibility exists of the Program being used at more than one (1) computer at any given time. More than one person at a time cannot read the same copy of a book, and this restriction applies to the Program. The Company is pleased to offer site licenses for multiple simultaneous users. Please contact the Company at the address below for details.

You, your employees, and/or authorized agents must protect the Program’s confidentiality and act to enforce your obligations under this EULA. You cannot distribute or otherwise make the Program or Documentation available to any third party via any means whatsoever, public or private, for any purpose, commercial or not, unless explicitly allowed by this EULA.

You assume full responsibility for your selection of the Program to achieve your intended results and for the installation, use, and results you obtain from the Program. Company has no obligation to provide support, maintenance, upgrades, modifications or new releases under this EULA.

Termination of this EULA for any reason in no way limits the Company’s right to continue enforcing all rights provided by law and does not entitle you to a refund of your license fee except as provided herein. All provisions of this EULA that protect the Company’s proprietary rights continue in full force and effect after termination.

LIMITED WARRANTY

The Company provides the Program and the Documentation AS IS with no warranty. The Company makes no representations or warranties, either express or implied, of any kind with respect to the Program and the Documentation.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

In no event will the Company be liable to you for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, including damages for any lost profits, arising out of your use or inability to use the Program and the Documentation, even if the Company has been advised of the possibility of such damages or for any claim by any other party. Some states and countries do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for certain damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. In no event will the Company’s liability to you or any other person for damages hereunder exceed the amount of the license fee paid by you to use the Program regardless of the form of the claim. The parties acknowledge that this limitation of liability is an essential element of the bargain between the parties, without which Company would not have entered into this EULA. Company’s pricing reflects this allocation of risk and the limitation of liability specified herein.
