[Agree and Continue]
The purpose of these LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS is to establish the terms for the CUSTOMER’s use of SMART PACKAGE STUDIO, vers. 1.0 (hereafter referred to as “the PROGRAM”) to which the CUSTOMER has been granted user rights by SoftwareCentral (“SWC”) supplied by SWC. All documentation, manuals and subsequent updates and/or upgrades are collectively regarded as constituting the PROGRAM.
The PROGRAM is a standard product, supplied by SWC with the functions detailed in the sales material, along with any associated documentation. SWC is not liable for ensuring that the PROGRAM satisfies any functionality assumed to be inherent in the product by the CUSTOMER nor for satisfying any assumed requirement.
Subject to payment of applicable fees, SWC grants to the CUSTOMER one, non-exclusive subscription based user right (LICENSE) to the PROGRAM that is restricted to a time period of one year from the date of invoice and any renewal period. The user right for the PROGRAM applies to the agreed number of users
The CUSTOMER may only use the PROGRAM for the CUSTOMER’s and CUSTOMER’s Group Entities’ data processing purposes.
Subject to the CUSTOMER paying the applicable fees for a Service Provider license, the CUSTOMER may allow customers of the CUSTOMER or a CUSTOMER Group Entity to use the outcome of the PROGRAM provided the use of the outcome of the PROGRAM is solely within the scope set out in this Clause and provided that the CUSTOMER will be liable towards SWC for all acts and omissions of such parties, including for the compliance with these LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
The CUSTOMER shall not directly or indirectly reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the PROGRAM.
All rights not specifically granted hereunder are expressly reserved.
SWC owns the full property, patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights to the PROGRAM , and these rights shall remain with SWC. The CUSTOMER shall respect SWC’s rights and is monetarily liable, without any limitation, in the event of these rights being infringed, including the distribution of the PROGRAM to a third party. The CUSTOMER is not entitled to crack or change any security codes, nor is the CUSTOMER entitled to change or remove limitations in the PROGRAM or in the media on which the PROGRAM is supplied in respect of rights conditions, trademarks or suchlike. The CUSTOMER shall ensure that the PROGRAM does not pass into the possession of a third party. The CUSTOMER may make any necessary back-ups, but may not produce copies of the PROGRAM.
The CUSTOMER is not entitled to make changes to the PROGRAM. In the event of the CUSTOMER or a third party accessing the source code or making changes to the PROGRAM, SWC’s obligations, as stated in these LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, shall be rendered null and void with immediate effect without notice and SWC shall not be liable for the consequences of any such source code incursions or changes.
Except as set forth above, the CUSTOMER is not entitled to sell, hire out, loan, allow use of, or in any other way transfer or distribute the PROGRAM or the PROGRAM LICENSE to a third party. The PROGRAM may not be used in connection with facilities management, hosting, outsourcing or similar activities.
SWC provides for a period of 6 (six) months from the date of delivery a right of remedy as a result of the PROGRAMS not performing in substantial accordance with the documentation delivered with the PROGRAMS consisting of, at SWC’s option, (i) repairing or replacing the PROGRAMS which are returned to SWC, or (ii) taking return of the PROGRAMS and refunding the price paid for such PROGRAMS. SWC will have no obligation to fix errors in the Product caused by accident, misuse, abuse, improper operation, misapplication, or any other cause external to the PROGRAMS from SWC.
Except as specifically stated herein, SWC’s exclusive liability and the CUSTOMER’s sole and exclusive remedy for any defect or delay shall be licensed subject to the limitation on and exclusion of liability.
This limitation applies even if repair, replacement or a refund for the PROGRAMS does not fully compensate the CUSTOMER for any losses; or SWC knew or should have known about the possibility of the damages.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, except as may be expressly stated in these LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, SWC and its group disclaim all representations, warranties and conditions, either express or implied, statutory, by usage of trade or otherwise including but not limited to any implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, non-infringement, title, satisfactory quality or fitness for a particular purpose
If a third party claims that the PROGRAM provided by SWC infringes third-party rights, the CUSTOMER shall immediately inform SWC in writing and SWC shall take over the defense of the claim. SWC shall at its cost have full control of any proceedings arising out of any infringement of third-party rights. The CUSTOMER may not make any admission as to liability and shall not agree to any settlement or compromise any action without the prior written consent of SWC. The CUSTOMER shall give SWC all reasonable assistance in respect of any such proceedings.
SWC agrees to indemnify the CUSTOMER against any damages and costs imposed on the CUSTOMER by a court of competent jurisdiction or any settlement sum approved by SWC as a result of a claim by a third party that the use by the CUSTOMER of the PROGRAM in accordance with the terms of these LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS infringes the intellectual property rights of that third party, provided that such indemnity shall only apply if and to the extent that the CUSTOMER has not been provided with a work around solution or an alternative license obtained by SWC from such third party.
If SWC – commercially reasonable terms – cannot provide a work around or an alternative license, then SWC can terminate these LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS with respect to the affected parts of the PROGRAM. In this event the CUSTOMER shall refrain from using the affected parts of the PROGRAM and SWC shall return the paid fees proportionally to the affected parts of the PROGRAM, however, reduced by any reasonable value for the CUSTOMER’s use of the PROGRAM until termination.
The foregoing rights of the CUSTOMER shall be the sole and exhaustive remedies available to the CUSTOMER in the event of third-party infringement claims.
SWC shall not be liable for indemnifying the CUSTOMER for any costs or damages if the infringement claim (i) is based on the use of an amendment, change or modification made by any person (other than any amendment, change or modification made by SWC or any supplier to SWC); (ii) is based on a combination of the PROGRAM with other programs or services not provided by SWC; (iii) if the PROGRAM is not being used in accordance with the documentation; or (iv) if the alleged infringement would be avoided or otherwise eliminated by the use of an upgrade or update, release, or hot fix to the PROGRAM.
If the CUSTOMER becomes aware of any infringement or potential infringement of SWC intellectual property rights it shall promptly notify SWC in writing.

SWC shall start work to correct priority 1 errors within 1 (one) day and priority 2 errors within 3 (three) days of receiving an adequately reproduceable error description from the CUSTOMER. The CUSTOMER will be notified if priority 3 errors have been corrected in a later version as an UPGRADE or UPDATE in the form of a generally issued bug fix.

Under these circumstances, SWC and the CUSTOMER keep what they have received from the other party and the CUSTOMER shall pay for the PROGRAM that has been delivered but not paid for by the date of cancellation. No further claims shall exist between the parties.
