- SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT
-
- Definitions. Unless stated otherwise "you" (and "your") means the individual,
- organisation or other legal entity to whom this license is granted; "we"
- (also "us", "our") means Square Box Systems Ltd., the copyright owner and
- licensor of the software; and "the software" or "our software" means the
- computer software application (or applications) this license applies to
- together with any associated computer files and documentation, whether in
- physical or electronic form.
-
- 1. By downloading, installing, copying or using the software on any
- computer you agree to be bound by the terms of this license agreement,
- which both grants you rights and imposes obligations upon you. If you
- disagree with any of the terms of this agreement then you must
- immediately stop using the software and destroy all copies of the
- software in your possession or on your machines.
-
- 2. If you download or install a free evaulation version of the software
- then you are permitted to use the software for evaluation purposes
- for a period of 30 days from the time you first install the software on
- any machine (or other period that may be granted to you). The purpose
- of this evaluation is to establish the correct installation of the
- software on your system and its suitability for your requirements.
- Certain features which are normally available may be disabled in
- evaluation or unregistered copies of the software, and the software
- may stop functioning altogether at the end of the evaluation period.
-
- 3. If you purchase a license to use the software from us, or one of
- our authorised distributors or agents, then we will supply you with an
- official software registration code and thereby grant you a license to
- use the software in accordance with the terms of this agreement.
-
- 4. The software and its constituent files and documentation are
- copyrighted and you may not copy the software or any part of the
- software except as explicitly stated in this agreement. You are
- permitted to install the software on one or more computer system hard
- disks, as specified by your license, and also to make copies of the
- software for backup purposes.
-
- 5. Unless we explicitly grant you further licenses, and except as
- provided below, any registration codes we may send you (whether by
- electronic or physical means, and whether together with or separately
- from the software) may be installed and used on one computer only.
- You may transfer a license and registration from one computer to
- another by clearing the registration details and removing the software
- from the old computer before installing it on the new one. If you are
- an individual and are the main user of more than one computer you may
- install a single user registration code on two computers providing
- that: i) either they are at different physical sites (for example, one
- at your place of work and one at your home) or one is a fixed desktop
- computer and the other is a portable laptop computer, ii) you are the
- main user of both computers, and iii) you ensure that instances of the
- software are never simultaneously running on both machines.
-
- 6. Any registration keys or other codes that we supply to you for use
- with the software (whether for evaluation purposes or not) are
- confidential and personal to you. Any computer files created by the
- software and containing details of your registration key are similarly
- covered and may not be copied or revealed to anyone else. You agree to
- keep all such codes confidential and not permit their use other than
- under the conditions permitted by this agreement. If you intentionally
- reveal or allow these codes to be used by anyone who is not entitled to
- use them then we may hold you liable for any losses that we suffer as a
- result.
-
- 7. Except as expressly permitted in this license agreement you may not
- rent, lease, transfer or sub-license the software without our written
- agreement and without imposing similar obligations to those contained
- in his license on the recipient. The software is licensed to you, not
- sold, and we reserve all rights not explicitly granted to you in this
- license. We and/or our licensors retain title to the software and all
- intellectual property rights therein.
-
- 8. If you install or use any third party software or libraries that may
- be distributed with our software but not forming part of it (including
- but not limited to "QuickTime" or "Mac Runtime for Java" from Apple
- Computer Inc., and "Java Runtime Environment" and "Swing" from Sun
- Microsystems Inc.) then you agree to be bound by the terms of any license
- agreement(s) included with that third party software. You agree that
- (whether or not our software depends on said third party software to
- operate) we are providing said third party software purely as a convenience
- to users of our software and that we are not entitled to or able to grant
- or offer any additional rights, licenses, warranties, or support in such
- third party software than if you had downloaded or obtained them from
- another source independently of us.
-
- 9. You agree that the internal workings of the software and any computer
- files provided as part of the software are confidential trade secrets of
- the copyright owner. You agree not to make any attempt to disassemble,
- decompile, or reverse engineer the software or any of its constituent
- parts. If you acquire knowledge about the internal workings of the
- software or any other related trade secrets you agree not to distribute,
- disseminate or publish any such information without our written
- agreement. You recognise that trade secrets are protected by law in many
- jurisdictions and infringement of these conditions (even for "personal"
- use) may be a criminal offence punishable by law. Any attempts at
- circumventing or defeating any license protection mechanisms in the
- software or knowingly using registration codes which were not issued or
- authorised by us for your use are expressly prohibited by this agreement
- and may constitute a serious criminal offence in many jurisdictions,
- punishable by fines and/or imprisonment.
-
- 10. We may terminate this license at any time at our sole discretion by
- giving you notice in writing and refunding any license fees that you may
- have paid for the software. A breach by you of any of the terms of this
- license will immediately terminate the license and no refund will be
- due. You may terminate the license by deleting, destroying or returning
- all copies of the software in your possession and any registration codes
- that may have been issued to you. Any obligations made on you under this
- agreement not to reveal or distribute confidential or copyrighted
- information, including but not limited to registration codes or trade
- secrets related to the internal workings of the software, survive
- termination of this license.
-
- 11. This software is not designed to be fault tolerant and is not
- approved for use in situations where malfunction could lead to death,
- personal injury, or environmental damage, including (but not limited to)
- nuclear facilities, air traffic control, aircraft navigation or
- communication systems, or medical life support machines.
-
- 12. If we provide you with software which is labelled as "beta" then you
- recognise this is "pre-release" software which is provided solely for
- the purposes of evaluation and testing. You take full responsibility for
- making backup copies and safeguarding any files or data that may be
- damaged or destroyed through use of such software. Such software may not
- yet have been publicly announced and you agree not to disclose or
- discuss any details of the beta software to any third party, other than
- via discussion forums we may provide for this specific purpose. You
- recognise that the the capabilities provided by such software may vary
- without notice from release to release, and the software may be "time
- limited" and cease functioning altogether after a particular date.

- 13. This license agreement supersedes any or all previous versions of
- this license. By downloading or installing new versions of the software
- or by continuing to use the software after you receive a copy of this
- new license you agree to be bound by any new or altered terms in this
- license.
-
- 14. This agreement is governed by English law. If any provision of this
- license agreement or portion thereof is found to be unenforceable you
- agree to be bound by the remainder of this license agreement.
