Terms of license: THIS SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT ("THE AGREEMENT") IS A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN XIMIAN, INC., , 401 PARK DRIVE, 3 WEST, BOSTON, MA 02215 ("XIMIAN") AND THE CUSTOMER OF THE SOFTWARE (THE "CUSTOMER"). BY INSTALLING, COPYING OR OTHERWISE USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU REPRESENT (I) THAT YOU HAVE BEEN AUTHORIZED TO ACCEPT THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF THE CUSTOMER (THE ENTITY ON WHOSE BEHALF YOU REPRESENT YOU ARE AUTHORIZED TO ACT, IN WHICH EVENT "YOU" AND "YOUR" SHALL REFER TO YOU AND SUCH ENTITY, AS THE CASE MAY BE), OR (II) THAT YOU INTEND TO BE PERSONALLY BOUND TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AS THE CUSTOMER. IF YOU ARE NOT SO AUTHORIZED OR DO NOT INTEND TO BE PERSONALLY BOUND, THEN LICENSOR IS UNWILLING TO LICENSE THE SOFTWARE AND THE INSTALLATION OR USE OF THE SOFTWARE IS A VIOLATION OF U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT LAWS AND CONVENTIONS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MAY DELETE THE UNUSED SOFTWARE WITHIN THIRTY DAYS AFTER YOU OBTAINED THE SOFTWARE AND REQUEST A FULL REFUND OF THE LICENSE FEE. IF YOU ACCEPT THESE TERMS FOR AN ENTITY ON WHOSE BEHALF YOU ARE AUTHORIZED TO ACT, YOU MAY USE THE SOFTWARE ONLY ON BEHALF OF SUCH ENTITY. IF YOU INTEND TO BE PERSONALLY BOUND, USE OF THE SOFTWARE IS LIMITED TO YOUR PERSONAL USE. XIMIAN hereby agrees to grant and CUSTOMER agrees to accept a non-exclusive license to use the Software subject to the following terms and conditions: 1. Right to Use: The Software is provided in and is licensed for use in object code form only and for use only by the number of user(s) and/or on the number of computer(s) as described on the license file sent to you upon purchase. CUSTOMER may make one copy of the Software for use as archival or backup purposes (or that number of copies as permitted by applicable law), but any and all copies must include XIMIAN's copyright notice, and are fully subject to the terms of this Agreement. CUSTOMER may not reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, translate or otherwise attempt to create the source code from the Software or create derivative works of the Software or any portion thereof, including for reasons of error correction or interoperability. During the warranty period stated in Section 5 below, at CUSTOMER's request and at XIMIAN's election or as may be required by applicable law, XIMIAN will make commercially reasonable efforts to make available to CUSTOMER certain interface specifications so that CUSTOMER may develop software interfaces to provide interoperability with the Software. CUSTOMER may not (i) publish or provide any results of benchmark tests run on the Software to a third party without Licensee's prior written consent, (ii) disclose, distribute or otherwise make available the Software to any other party or permit others to use it, except employees and agents of CUSTOMER who use it on CUSTOMER's behalf, if CUSTOMER is an entity, or (iii) remove or alter any trademark, logo, copyright or other proprietary notices, legends, symbols or labels in the Software. CUSTOMER may not rent, lease, sublicense, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer rights to the Software, but CUSTOMER may transfer the Software to a third party on a permanent basis provided CUSTOMER retains no copies and the recipient agrees to accept all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Upon such permitted transfer, CUSTOMER must either transfer all copies of the Software and all materials provided for or with it to the recipient or destroy any copies not so transferred. 2. Duration: This license shall continue so long as CUSTOMER uses the Software in compliance with the Agreement. Should the CUSTOMER breach any of its obligations, this license shall terminate and CUSTOMER agrees to destroy or return all copies of the Software and all materials provided for or with the Software upon notification and demand by XIMIAN. 3. Title: XIMIAN retains all proprietary rights and title to the Software and any modifications, and no ownership of any part of the Software is hereby transferred to CUSTOMER. 4. Security: CUSTOMER understands and agrees that the Software contains trade secrets belonging to XIMIAN, and will take all reasonable steps to protect its confidentiality. CUSTOMER acknowledges that the Software is the property of XIMIAN and contains confidential information. CUSTOMER agrees that, other than to its employees, it will not provide a copy of the Software nor divulge any details of it to any person without the prior consent in writing of XIMIAN. 5. Warranties: XIMIAN warrants solely that for a period of ninety (90) days from shipment by XIMIAN of the Software, the medium upon which the Software is delivered (if the Software is not downloaded by CUSTOMER) will be free from defects in material and workmanship when given normal, proper and intended usage, and that the Software will function materially as described in the accompanying Software user documentation ("Documentation"). This warranty does not apply insofar as: (a) the Software is subjected to misuse, neglect, accident, or exposure to environmental conditions beyond those specified in the Documentation; (b) claims resulting from acts or omissions caused by persons other than XIMIAN or from products, material or software not provided by XIMIAN; (c) a version of the Software is used that does not include all updates available from XIMIAN; (d) the Software is modified or; (e) the Software is used on an operating system other than the system and version specified in the Documentation or on a machine not described in the Documentation. In the event of a breach of warranty, XIMIAN's sole responsibility, and CUSTOMER's sole and exclusive remedy, is, at XIMIAN's option, to repair or replace all or any portions of the Software, or to refund the paid license fee. This limited warranty is valid only if XIMIAN receives written notice of breach of warranty within ten days of such ninety-day period. 6. Limitation of Warranties and Liability: EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 5 HEREIN, XIMIAN SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO THE CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR THE SOFTWARE, INCLUDING ANY LIABILITY FOR NEGLIGENCE; XIMIAN MAKES AND THE CUSTOMER RECEIVES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR IN ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER COMMUNICATION; AND XIMIAN SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. THE CUSTOMER MAY HAVE CERTAIN STATUTORY RIGHTS TO WHICH THESE EXCLUSIONS DO NOT APPLY, HOWEVER, TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DURATION OF STATUTORILY REQUIRED WARRANTIES, IF ANY, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD SET FORTH IN SECTION 5 ABOVE. MOREOVER, IN NO EVENT WILL WARRANTIES PROVIDED BY LAW, IF ANY, APPLY UNLESS THEY ARE REQUIRED TO APPLY BY STATUTE NOTWITHSTANDING THEIR EXCLUSION BY CONTRACT. NO DEALER, AGENT, OR EMPLOYEE OF XIMIAN IS AUTHORIZED TO MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS, EXTENSIONS, OR ADDITIONS TO THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. CUSTOMER is responsible for the selection of the Software to achieve its intended results, and for the installation, use and results obtained from the Software. XIMIAN does not warrant that use of the Software will be uninterrupted or error free, nor that program errors will be corrected. The Software is not fault-tolerant and is not designed, manufactured or intended for use or resale as on-line control equipment in hazardous environments requiring fail-safe performance, such as in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication systems, air traffic control, direct life support machines, or weapons systems, in which the failure of the Software could lead directly to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage ("High Risk Activities"). Accordingly, XIMIAN and its suppliers specifically disclaim any express or implied warranty of fitness for High Risk Activities. The cumulative liability of XIMIAN to the CUSTOMER for all claims relating to the Software, in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall not exceed the total amount of all license fees paid to XIMIAN by the CUSTOMER for the Software. IN NO EVENT SHALL XIMIAN BE LIABLE TO THE CUSTOMER FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, MULTIPLE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION AND LOST DATA, EVEN IF XIMIAN HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH POTENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGE. SOME STATES AND JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. 7. Taxes: CUSTOMER agrees to pay (and to reimburse XIMIAN on request if XIMIAN is required to pay) any sales, use, value added (VAT), consumption or other tax (excluding any tax on XIMIAN's net income) or other fee or charge of any kind or nature that is levied or imposed by any governmental authority on CUSTOMER's use or license of the Software. 8. Miscellaneous: This Agreement, the license granted hereunder, the Software and any modifications thereto may not be assigned or in any way transferred without the prior written consent of XIMIAN. The terms of this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, United States of America, without giving effect to the principles of conflict or choice of law of such Commonwealth. The original of this Agreement has been written in English. The parties hereto waive any statute, law, or regulation that might provide an alternative law or forum or to have this Agreement written in any language other than English. XIMIAN and CUSTOMER exclude the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act from this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be excessively broad as to scope, activity, subject or otherwise so as to be unenforceable at law, such provision shall be constructed by limiting or reducing it so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with the applicable law as it shall then appear. This Agreement represents the entire understanding between the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior written and oral communications. This Agreement may not be modified except by a written agreement signed by authorized representatives of both parties. A waiver by either party of its rights hereunder shall not be binding unless contained in a written agreement signed by an authorized representative of the party waiving its rights. The non-enforcement or waiver of any provision on one occasion shall not constitute a waiver of such provision on any other occasions unless expressly so agreed in writing. 9. U.S. Government Restricted Rights: The Software and Documentation are "commercial items" as that term is defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (October 1995) consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation" as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1, 227.7202-3 and 227.7202-4 (June 1995). If the CUSTOMER hereunder is the U.S. Government or any agency or department thereof, the Software and Documentation are licensed hereunder (i) only as a commercial item, and (ii) with only those rights as are granted to all other end users pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 10. Export Control: None of the Software or underlying information or technology may be downloaded or otherwise exported or reexported (i) into (or to a national or resident of) Cuba, Iraq, Libya, Sudan, North Korea, Iran, Syria or any other country to which the U.S. has embargoed goods; or (ii) to anyone on the U. S. Treasury Department's list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Commerce Department's Table of Denial Orders. By downloading or using the Software, CUSTOMER agrees to the foregoing and represents and warrants that it is not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any such country or on any such list. In addition, CUSTOMER agrees to comply with all relevant export laws and regulations of the United States and any local laws in its jurisdiction that may impact its right to import, export or use the Software, and represents that it has complied with any regulations or registration procedures required by applicable law to make this license enforceable. 11. Arbitration: CUSTOMER agrees that all disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted in Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America, under the rules of commercial arbitration of the American Arbitration Association. Both parties shall bear equally the cost of arbitration (exclusive of legal fees and expenses, all of which each party shall bear separately). All decisions of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on both parties and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of breach by CUSTOMER of its obligations hereunder, XIMIAN may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.
