For good and valuable consideration, including but not limited to license grant
in accordance with this Agreement by LICENSOR to End User's covenant regarding
LICENSOR's proprietary rights, LICENSOR agrees to permit End User to utilize
materials representing LICENSOR's product or products subject to the following
terms and conditions:
1. License Grant: Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations
of this EULA, LICENSOR hereby grants End User a personal, limited,
non-exclusive, non-transferable, license to utilize the Software Product
you have purchased. The license granted in this EULA creates no license, express
or implied, to any other intellectual property of Licensor, except for the
specific Software Product which they have lawfully purchased from LICENSOR.
This EULA grants you the following rights: You may install and use one copy of
the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, or any prior version for the same operating system, on a
single computer.
A license for the SOFTWARE PRODUCT may not be shared or
used concurrently on different computers.
2. Exclusive Source. End User shall obtain all LICENSOR authorized
product materials through LICENSOR or LICENSOR'S authorized representative and
no other source. LICENSOR authorized product materials include, but are not
limited to, manuals, license agreements and media upon which LICENSOR's
proprietary computer programs are recorded. End User shall make no copies
of any kind of any of the materials furnished by LICENSOR or LICENSOR's
authorized representative, except as specifically authorized to do so in this
EULA. End User is not entitled to make archival copies of those portions
of LICENSOR's product(s) that are provided on a machine readable media.
3. Proprietary Rights of Licensor. End User agrees that LICENSOR retains
exclusive ownership of the trademarks and service marks represented by its
company name and logo and all of the documentation and computer recorded data
related thereto. End User also agrees that all techniques, algorithms, and
processes contained in LICENSOR's computer program products or any modification
or extraction thereof constitute TRADE SECRETS OF LICENSOR and will be
safeguarded by End User, but in no event shall End User exercise less than due
diligence and care in accordance with the laws of the country of purchase and

of this Agreement which remain in force. End User agrees that in the event End
User breaches this EULA, End User will be liable for damages as may be
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
4. Restrictions. End User’s rights and obligations under this EULA are
nonexclusive and personal in nature, and the intellectual property Licensor
grants to End User is subject to applicable law other than bankruptcy
law. End User may not transfer or assign the SOFTWARE, rights under this
EULA or accompanying user documentation, or any updates of the SOFTWARE which
may be provided under this EULA, to a third party unless End User receives
written consent from Licensor at least 30 days prior to the completion of
transfer. Licensor reserves the right to deny transfer or assignment if,
in its sole discretion, Licensor determines the transfer not to be a
necessity. Whether or not a transfer or assignment is allowed shall be
determined in Licensor’s sole discretion after taking into consideration
certain factors to find the existence of a necessity including, but not limited
to, merger or acquisition of an entity, complete asset acquisition, change of
control, severe economic hardship, severe loss of human resources or
significant loss in business divisions, or winding down of entity affairs.
If Carlson consents to a transfer, such transfer shall be
allowed only as a one-time permanent transfer of this EULA and Software to
another end user, provided the initial End User retains no copies or previous
versions of the Software. The transfer must include all of the Software, including
all component parts, any media and printed materials, any upgrades, this EULA,
and any associated license key. The transfer may not be an indirect transfer,
such as a consignment, rental or lease. No corresponding Maintenance Agreement
rights shall transfer with the SOFTWARE transfer to the subsequent end
user. Prior to the transfer, the subsequent end user receiving the
Software from the initial End User must agree to all terms of this EULA, with
the added condition that no further transfers to third parties are permitted
for any reason whatsoever, and shall agree to the terms and conditions of a new
Maintenance Agreement with Licensor.
You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the SOFTWARE or alter
the images utilized in the SOFTWARE and user documentation. The SOFTWARE
PRODUCT is licensed as a single product. Its component parts may not be
separated for use on more than one computer. You shall communicate to any
individual user in your facility that they are bound by the restrictions of
this license agreement may not copy or alter the SOFTWARE for use outside End
User's facilities.
Upgrades. If you purchase an upgrade of a SOFTWARE PRODUCT and you use it
on different machine from one where upgraded SOFTWARE PRODUCT was used, use of
original SOFTWARE PRODUCT must be discontinued and confirmed within 30 days. If
such use is not discontinued, it is a material breach of this EULA and LICENSOR
shall be entitled to all remedies available to it under this EULA, and under
the laws of Kentucky, USA.
5. Security Mechanisms. Licensor and its affiliated companies take all
legal steps to eliminate piracy of their software products. In this context,
the Software Product may include a security mechanism that can detect the
installation or use of illegal copies of the Software Product, and collect and
transmit data about those illegal copies. Data collected may include any
location and customer data created with the Software. Carlson reserves the
right to utilize this information for both security and research and
development of its security mechanisms. By using the Software Product, you
consent to such detection and collection of data, as well as its transmission
and use if an illegal copy is detected. Licensor also reserves the right to use
a hardware lock device, license administration software, and/or a license
authorization key to control access to the Software. You may not take any steps
to avoid or defeat the purpose of any such measures. Use of any Software
without any required lock device or authorization key provided by Licensor is
prohibited.
6. Audit Rights. End User agrees that LICENSOR has the right to require an audit (electronic or otherwise) of the LICENSOR Materials and the Installation thereof and access thereto. As part of any such audit, LICENSOR or its authorized representative will have the right, on fifteen (15) days’ prior notice to End User, to inspect End User’s records, systems and facilities, including machine IDs, serial numbers and related information, to verify that the use of any and all LICENSOR Materials is in conformance with this Agreement. End User will provide full cooperation to enable any such audit. If LICENSOR determines that End User’s use is not in conformity with this EULA, End User will obtain immediately and pay for a valid license to bring End User’s use into compliance with this EULA and other applicable terms and pay the reasonable costs of the audit. In addition to such payment rights, LICENSOR reserves the right to seek any other remedies available at law or in equity, whether under this Agreement or otherwise.
7. Warranty. THE PRODUCT IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITH ALL FAULTS. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LICENSOR HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANITIBILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND WARRANTIES THAT THE PRODUCT IS FREE OF DEFECTS AND NON-INFRINGING, WITH REGARD TO THE SOFTWARE, AND THE ACCOMPANYING WRITTEN MATERIALS.
