License Agreement

 

NEMATRIAN LIMITED (“NEMATRIAN” OR THE “LICENSOR”) IS WILLING TO LICENSE THE SOFTWARE IDENTIFIED BELOW TO YOU (THE “LICENSEE”), AND TO ALLOW YOU TO MAKE USE OF ASSOCIATED SERVICES IT PROVIDES VIA ITS WEBSITE ONLY UPON THE CONDITION THAT YOU ACCEPT ALL OF THE TERMS CONTAINED IN THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT (“AGREEMENT”). PLEASE READ THE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING AND/OR MAKING USE OF THIS SOFTWARE, YOU ACCEPT THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT. IF THE LICENSEE DOES NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE LICENSEE MUST NOT INSTALL OR USE ANY OF THE SOFTWARE DEVELOPED BY NEMATRIAN.

1. DEFINITIONS

“Licensor” means Nematrian Limited except under the following circumstances: (i) if Licensee acquired the Software and Associated Services as a bundled component of a third party product or service, then such third party shall be Licensor; and (ii) if any third party software is included as part of the default installation and no License is presented for acceptance the first time that third party software is invoked, then the use of that third party software shall be governed by this Agreement, but the term “Licensor”, with respect to such third party software, shall mean the manufacturer of that software and not Nematrian. With the exception of the situation described in (ii) above, the use of any included third party software product shall be governed by the third party's License agreement and not by this Agreement, whether that License agreement is presented for acceptance the first time that the third party software is invoked, is included in a file in electronic form, or is included in the package in printed form. If more than one License agreement was provided for the Software and Associated Services, and the terms vary, the order of precedence of those License agreements is as follows: a signed agreement, a License agreement available for review on the Nematrian website, a printed or electronic agreement that states clearly that it supersedes other agreements, a printed agreement provided with the Software and Associated Services, an electronic agreement provided with the Software and Associated Services.

“Software” means “Client-side Software” and “Server-side Software”.

“Client-side Software” means any software or other material downloadable from Nematrian websites, any other related machine readable materials (including, but not limited to, libraries, source files, header files, and data files), any updates or error corrections to the above provided by Nematrian, and any associated user manuals, programming guides and other documentation provided to you by Nematrian under this Agreement.

“Server-side Software” means any software on Nematrian servers accessible by third parties via the Nematrian website.

“Associated Services” means any automated service (i.e. not including consultancy services) provided by Nematrian that makes use of the Software or that is otherwise provided by Nematrian servers, including static and interactive pages and web services accessible to users via these pages.

“Content” means all information (such as data files, written text, computer software, music, audio files or other sounds, photographs, videos or other images) that you may have access to as part of, or through your use of, the Software and Associated Services. The rights granted herein are limited to Nematrian’s intellectual property rights in the Software and Associated Services and do not include any other patent or intellectual property rights.

“Programs” mean applications that access web services provided by Nematrian servers. You may own the media on which Programs are recorded but Nematrian retains ownership of the Software.

2. LICENSE TO USE

Nematrian grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to:

(i) reproduce and use internally Client-side Software and to use Server-side Software complete and unmodified for the sole purpose of designing, developing, running and testing Programs. This License does not entitle the Licensee to receive from the Licensor hard-copy documentation, technical support or telephone assistance; and

(ii) to reproduce and distribute Programs that use the Software, provided that (i) you distribute Client-side Software complete and unmodified and only bundled as part of, and for the sole purpose of running, your Programs, (ii) you do not distribute copies of Server-side Software or its source code irrespective of how you obtained copies of either, (iii) the Programs add significant and primary functionality to the Software, (iv) you do not distribute additional software intended to replace any component(s) of the Software, (v) you do not remove or alter any proprietary legends or notices contained in the Software, (vi) you only distribute the Software subject to a license agreement that protects Nematrian's interests consistent with the terms contained in this Agreement, and (vii) you agree to defend and indemnify Nematrian and its licensors from and against any damages, costs, liabilities, settlement amounts and/or expenses (including lawyers’ and attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with any claim, lawsuit or action by any third party that arises or results from the use or distribution of any and all Programs and/or Software.

(x) not share your Nematrian User ID(s) and User Password(s) (or other identifiers that Nematrian uses to differentiate your use of its site from use by others) with anyone else. You acknowledge and agree that Nematrian is not liable for any loss or damage that may be incurred by you or anyone else as a result someone else accessing your personal information or other data you may have loaded onto the Nematrian website because you have shared your Nematrian User ID(s) or User Password(s) with others or because you have accessed the Nematrian website using a computer or other device on which there is spyware or other software that is monitoring your interaction with the website in ways that you do not wish to happen.

INSTALLATION OF THIS SOFTWARE MAY AFFECT THE USABILITY OF THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE. EXCEPT TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND NEMATRIAN HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE, EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OF ACCURACY, OF QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS.

17. INTEGRATION

This Agreement is the entire agreement between you and Nematrian relating to its subject matter. It supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals, representations and warranties and prevails over any conflicting or additional terms of any quote, order, acknowledgment, or other communication between the parties relating to its subject matter during the term of this Agreement. No modification of this Agreement will be binding, unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each party. It is important that you take the time to read this Agreement carefully.

Your use of these other services, software or goods may be subject to separate terms between you and the company or person concerned. If so, this Agreement does not affect your legal relationship with these other companies or individuals.
