End-User License Agreement

USERS' QUICK SUMMARY OF MAIN TERMS - please read full EULA below for full terms

1. You do not own or purchase the software - you simply use it under license.

2. Until you purchase a full license, you have an Evaluation license. The software functions fully for you to test, but there will be some restriction on how much/for how long it will operate.

3. When you purchase a full license the restrictions disappear. For software which is sold PER USER, each user license allows you to license a copy on up to two computers for the SAME USER only (for example your work computer and your home computer, or your main desktop PC and your laptop); you cannot license two computers for two different users.

4. We cannot control how you use our software, so we cannot be held responsible for any data loss, damage etc from your use of our software.

 

PATOOLS SOFTWARE END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT (Version 4, 14 Apr 2011)

Copyright© 2011 PATools. International copyright. All Rights Reserved

IMPORTANT - READ CAREFULLY: This PATools End-User License Agreement ("EULA") is a legal agreement between you (either an individual or a single entity) and PATOOLS for PATOOLS SOFTWARE, which includes any associated SOFTWARE components, any media, and any "online" or electronic documentation ("SOFTWARE"). By installing, copying, or otherwise using the SOFTWARE, you agree to be bound by the terms of this EULA. If you do not agree to the terms of this EULA, do not install or use the SOFTWARE, and return the whole package to the location where you obtained it within 30 days from purchase.


1. The SOFTWARE is licensed for use, not sold. There is therefore no transfer of any rights of ownership.

2. GRANT OF LICENSE.

(a) Licensed Copy. After you have purchased the license for this SOFTWARE you are licensed to copy the SOFTWARE only into the memory of the number of computers corresponding to the number of licenses purchased. The primary user of the computer on which each licensed copy of the SOFTWARE is installed may make a second copy for his or her exclusive use on a second computer. Under no other circumstances may the SOFTWARE be operated at the same time on more than the number of computers for which you have paid a separate license fee. You may not duplicate the licensed SOFTWARE in whole or in part, except that you may make one copy of the SOFTWARE for backup or archival purposes. You may terminate this license at any time by destroying the original and all copies of the SOFTWARE in whatever form. You may not transfer any of your rights under this EULA. Any purchased license for using this SOFTWARE will cease immediately upon the termination of any period of validity stated upon purchase of such license, and any further use will be subject to Evaluation Copy terms.

(b) Evaluation Copy. You may use the demonstration SOFTWARE from the day that you install the SOFTWARE without charge on an evaluation basis until any date of expiry of the SOFTWARE published within the SOFTWARE and with the SOFTWARE at the time of receipt, and subject to any evaluation restrictions in the performance of the SOFTWARE. If you continue to use the SOFTWARE after any date of expiry of the SOFTWARE without paying the license fee you will be using the SOFTWARE on an unlicensed basis.

(c) Redistribution of Evaluation Copy. If you are using SOFTWARE on an evaluation basis you may make copies of the evaluation SOFTWARE as you wish; give exact copies of the original evaluation SOFTWARE to anyone; and distribute the evaluation SOFTWARE in its unmodified form via electronic means (Internet, BBS's, Shareware distribution libraries, CD-ROMs, etc.). You may not charge any fee for the copy or use of the evaluation SOFTWARE itself, but you may charge a distribution fee that is reasonably related to any cost you incur distributing the evaluation SOFTWARE (e.g. packaging). You must not represent in any way that you are selling the SOFTWARE itself. Your distribution of the evaluation SOFTWARE will not entitle you to any compensation from PATools. You must distribute a copy of this EULA with any copy of the SOFTWARE and anyone to whom you distribute the SOFTWARE is subject to this EULA.

3. RESTRICTIONS. You may not reverse engineer, de-compile, or disassemble the SOFTWARE, except and only to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this limitation. You may not rent, lease, or lend the SOFTWARE. You may permanently transfer all of your rights under this EULA, provided the recipient agrees to the terms of this EULA. You may not use the SOFTWARE to perform any unauthorized transfer of information (e.g. transfer of files in violation of a copyright) or for any illegal purpose.

4. SUPPORT SERVICES. PATools may provide you with support services related to the SOFTWARE. Use of Support Services is governed by the PATools polices and programs described in online documentation, and/or other PATools-provided materials, as they may be modified from time to time. Any supplemental SOFTWARE code provided to you as part of the Support Services shall be considered part of the SOFTWARE and subject to the terms and conditions of this EULA. With respect to technical information you provide to PATools as part of the Support Services, PATools may use such information for its business purposes, including for product support and development. PATools will not utilize such technical information in a form that personally identifies you.

5. TERMINATION. Without prejudice to any other rights, PATools may terminate this EULA if you fail to comply with the terms and conditions of this EULA. In such event, you must destroy all copies of the SOFTWARE.

6. COPYRIGHT. The SOFTWARE is protected by United Kingdom and International copyright law and international treaty provisions.

You further acknowledge that title and full ownership rights to the SOFTWARE will remain the exclusive property of PATools and you will not acquire any rights to the SOFTWARE except as expressly set forth in this license. You agree that any copies of the SOFTWARE will contain the same proprietary notices which appear on and in the SOFTWARE.

7. EXPORT RESTRICTIONS. You agree that you will not export or re-export the SOFTWARE to any country, person, entity, or end user subject to United Kingdom export restrictions. You warrant and represent that the United Kingdom authorities have not suspended, revoked or denied your export privileges.

9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT SHALL PATOOLS OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF THE DELIVERY, PERFORMANCE, USE OR MISUSE OF THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF PATOOLS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN ANY EVENT, PATOOLS' LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF GBP1.00 OR THE LICENSE FEE PAID BY YOU.
