By installing, copying, downloading, accessing, or otherwise using the Software, The End User manifests The End User’s consent to and agreement to be bound by the terms of this EULA. If The End User does not agree to the terms of this EULA, do not install, access, or use the Software, but immediately cease the download / return the unused Software to the place of the original purchase.

Software License

The Software is protected by intellectual property laws and treaties. Any references hereunder to “sales” or “acquisition” or like terms notwithstanding, the Software is licensed, not sold, and rights granted hereunder are limited to the Software in object code only.  No source code rights are granted hereby.  The End User may not assign or otherwise transfer this EULA to any other party, without specific written permission from MPI Tech.

1. Grant of License

Under copyright law, the End User is not permitted to install or run the Software product (‘the Software’) or use the electronic material (‘the Documentation’) supplied to the End User without the Owner’s permission.  Considering the End User accepting the terms of this agreement, the Owner grants the End User a non-exclusive right (‘the License’) to install and run the Software and use the Documentation as permitted by this Agreement.  All references to the Software mean the object code only of the program(s) comprising the Software.  The End User has no rights to distribute, copy, reverse-engineer, modify, or adapt the Software unless such rights are clearly and specifically granted herein.

1.1  General License to Install and Use Software Product.

1.1.1     The End User may use the Software and the Documentation in connection with a single computer or such other number of computers as may be specifically licensed and for which license fees have been paid, as reflected on license records generated in connection with the acquisition of the Software (“License Record”);

1.1.2     The End User may load the Software and use it only on a single computer which is under the control or such other number of computers as may be specifically licensed and also under the End User’s control.

1.1.3     The End User may use the Software for personal use, business, or profession.  The license granted hereunder may not be shared and permitting unauthorized access to, copying or use of the Software and the Documentation is beyond the scope of the license and is therefore a breach of this Agreement.

1.2        Additional License Permitting Use of Software under a Subscription or Service Agreement.  If The End User licensed the Software under a subscription (“Subscription Product”), the following additional licensing terms apply and supersede any inconsistent provision under section 1.1:  During the term of The End User subscription only, The End User may install the Software on a single computer which is under its control or such other number of computers as may be specifically licensed and also under its control.  The initial subscription period begins on the date The End User first activates its copy of the Subscription Product and ends at the end of the subscription period, as set forth under the License Record.  The End User cannot use the Subscription Product on any computer after its subscription expires unless The End User renews or extends its subscription.  By renewing or extending its subscription, The End User will be entitled to continue using the Subscription Product for a specified period of time beyond the date when its previous subscription would have otherwise ended.  All the terms and conditions of this EULA will continue to apply to its use of the Subscription Product during any subsequent renewal periods unless otherwise specified. Separation of Component Parts: The Software Product is licensed as a single product and its component parts may not be separated, except as may be provided in the Documentation, unless expressly authorized by MPI Tech in writing.

1.3        Updates, Enhancements, and Supplemental Software. No Software maintenance or support is included in the calculation of license fees paid in consideration for this EULA.  Any rights The End User may be granted for Software maintenance or consent, including updates, patches, enhancements, modifications or other support services related to the Software (“Support Services”) are beyond the scope of this EULA and will be the subject of and governed by a separate maintenance or support agreement (if any) between The End User and MPI Tech or licensed MPI Tech ‘resellers, distributors or OEM providers’ (Resellers), and may be subject to the payment of additional fees. Support Services provided by MPI Tech or its Resellers are governed by the policies and programs adopted from time to time by MPI Tech or those Resellers offering such services, as described in the Documentation, or in other materials furnished by MPI Tech or its Resellers.

1.4        Reservation of Rights.  All rights not expressly granted are retained by MPI Tech.

All title and intellectual property rights in and to the Software and all elements and components, the accompanying printed materials, and any copies of the Software are owned by MPI Tech or its suppliers/licensors.  If this Software contains documentation that is provided only in electronic form, the End User may print ten copies of such electronic documentation.  The End User may not copy the printed materials accompanying the Software. MPI Tech retains all rights in and to any copy, translation, modification, enhancement, improvement, development, adaptation, or derivative works of the Software, including all unauthorized work.

6. Limited Warranty

6.1    Limited warranty for software acquired in the US, EU, and Canada:  MPI Tech warrants that the Software, when used properly, will perform substantially as described in the accompanying materials and documentation for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of receipt and that the media on which the Software is recorded will be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use for the same period.

If an implied warranty or condition is created by the End User state/jurisdiction and federal/national or state/provincial law prohibits disclaimers of it, the End User may also have an implied warranty or condition, but only as to defects discovered during the period of this limited warranty (thirty days).  as to any defects discovered after the thirty (30) day period, there is no warranty or condition of any kind.  Some states/jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty or condition lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to The End User.

Any supplements or updates to the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, including without limitation, any (if any) service packs or hot fixes provided to the End User after the expiration of the initial thirty (30) days Limited Warranty period are not covered by any warranty or condition, express, implied or statutory.

6.1.1     Limitation on remedies; no consequential or other damages.  The end user’s exclusive remedy for any breach of this limited warranty is as set forth below.  Except for any refund elected by MPI Tech, the end user is not entitled to any damages, including but not limited to consequential damages.  The terms of Section 8 below (“Exclusion of Incidental, Consequential and Certain Other Damages”) are also incorporated into this Limited Warranty.  Some states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to the End User.  This Limited Warranty gives the End User specific legal rights.  The End User may have others that vary from state/jurisdiction to state/jurisdiction.

6.1.2     The end user exclusive remedy.  The entire liability of MPI Tech and its suppliers and the End User’s exclusive remedy relative to any Software, that does not meet this Limited Warranty and that is returned to the original place of purchase with a copy of the End User’s proof of purchase, shall be, at MPI Techs sole option exercised subject to applicable law, either (a) return of the price paid (if any) for the Software, or (b) repair or replacement of the Software.  The End User will receive the remedy elected by MPI Tech without charge, except that the End User is responsible for any expenses the End User may incur (e.g. cost of returning the Software to MPI Tech).  This Limited Warranty is void if failure of the Software has resulted from accident, abuse, misapplication, abnormal use, or a virus.  Any replacement Software will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or twenty (20) days, whichever is longer.
