By installing, copying, or otherwise using the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, you agree to be bound by the terms of this EULA.

SOFTWARE PRODUCT LICENSE

The SOFTWARE PRODUCT is protected by copyright laws and international copyright treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties. The SOFTWARE PRODUCT is licensed, not sold.

1. GRANT OF LICENSE. This EULA grants you the following rights:

a. You may use an unlimited number of copies of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT identified above on an unlimited number of computers within a single physical laboratory or business facility. Facilities connected via Wide Area Network (WAN) or similar distance networking technologies are considered separate physical facilities and must obtain separate licenses for the software. The SOFTWARE is in "use" on a computer when it is loaded into temporary memory (i.e., RAM) or installed into permanent memory (e.g., hard disk, CD-ROM, or other storage device) of that computer. However, installation on a network server for the sole purpose of internal distribution to one or more other computer(s) within a single physical facility shall not constitute "use" for which a separate license is required.

b. Solely with respect to electronic documents included with the SOFTWARE, you may make an unlimited number of copies (either in hardcopy or electronic form), provided that such copies shall be used only for internal purposes and are not republished or distributed to any third party.

2. OWNERSHIP

a. Title. PROMIUM retains all proprietary rights, including patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark and other proprietary rights, in and to the Software and any corrections, bug fixes, enhancements, updates or other modifications, including custom modifications, to the Software, whether made by PROMIUM or any third party. You shall own all rights, title and interest to the information contained in any database created by you for use with the Product. You shall not, however, own any right, title or interest to the schema, structure or design of any databases developed for use with the Product by PROMIUM and may not disclose such schemas, structures or designs to a third party without the expressed written consent of PROMIUM.

b. Transfer. You may transfer the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, but only if the recipient agrees to accept the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you transfer the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, you must transfer all computer programs and documentation and erase any copies residing on computer equipment. Your license is automatically terminated if you transfer the Software Product.

3. COPYRIGHT.

All title and copyrights in and to the SOFTWARE PRODUCT (including but not limited to any images, photographs, animations, video, audio, music, text, code libraries, sub-components and "applets" incorporated into the SOFTWARE PRODUCT), the accompanying printed materials, and any copies of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT are owned by PROMIUM or its suppliers. The SOFTWARE PRODUCT is protected by copyright laws and international treaty provisions. Therefore, you must treat the SOFTWARE PRODUCT like any other copyrighted material except that you may (a) make copies of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT solely for backup or archival purposes and (b) copy the SOFTWARE PRODUCT to a network server for the sole purpose of internal distribution to one or more other computer(s) within a single physical facility. You may not copy the printed materials accompanying the SOFTWARE PRODUCT.

The defective media in which the SOFTWARE PRODUCT is contained will be replaced at no additional charge to you.

6. REMEDY.

If you do not receive media that is free from defects in materials and workmanship during the 60-day warranty period, you will receive a refund for the amount you paid for the SOFTWARE PRODUCT returned.

7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF REMEDIES. You understand and agree as follows:

a. The warranties in this agreement replace all other warranties, express or implied, including any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, PROMIUM and its suppliers disclaim and exclude all other warranties. In no event will our liability of any kind include any special, incidental or consequential damages, including lost profits, even if we have knowledge of the potential loss or damage.
