NOTICE TO USER

 

THIS IS A CONTRACT.

 

BY INSTALLING THIS SOFTWARE YOU ACCEPT ALL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 

This @riadne software ltd. ("@riadne") License Agreement accompanies the @riadne ® CoolSpools ® product and related explanatory materials ("Software").

 

The term “Software” also shall include any upgrades, modified versions or updates of the Software licensed to you by @riadne.

 

Please read this Agreement carefully. If you install the Software, you have thereby indicated your acceptance of this contract.

 

Upon your acceptance of this Agreement, @riadne grants to you a nonexclusive and nontransferable license to use the Software, provided that you agree to the following:

 

1. Use of the Software

 

·             The version of this software downloaded from the Internet can be used free of charge for up to 30 days without a license key.

·             At the end of this trial period, you must obtain a license key to continue to use the software. This license key allows the Software to run on a designated Central Processing Unit (CPU) (identified by its serial number) for a specified length of time.

·             Upon application, @riadne may, at its discretion, issue further temporary license keys beyond the standard 30-day trial period to allow further testing of the product, up to a maximum of 90 days.

·             Upon receipt of payment, @riadne will issue a permanent license key for the product. This permanent license key will allow indefinite and unrestricted usage.

·             Any applications for license keys should be addressed to @riadne by e-mail to sales@ariadnesoftware.co.uk.

·             Each purchased copy of the Software allows you to install and run the Software on the designated CPU only. You must purchase a separate copy of the Software and obtain a system-specific license key for each CPU on to which the Software is to be installed and run.

·             You are entitled to make archive copies of the Software for back-up purposes, but must not otherwise copy or distribute the Software. You must agree not to sell, give, assign, license or otherwise transfer the software product(s) or any part thereof to any person, firm, agency or corporation without damages or loss incurred, as well as any cost incident to litigation, including reasonable legal fees, as a result of Licensee's reproduction, sale, assignment, or other distribution of said software product(s). Licensee warrants and agrees to exercise due and reasonable precautions to preserve the proprietary aspects of the systems and related materials

·             Maintenance is free of charge in the first 12 months after purchase. The appropriate maintenance charge for the processor group on which the product is installed will be billed on the anniversary of the original invoice and annually from then onwards. The maintenance charge is frozen for the first three years after purchase, and is guaranteed to increase each year by no more than the UK Retail Price Index thereafter.

·             During the first year of free maintenance, and on condition that maintenance invoices have been paid thereafter, customers will be entitled to free upgrades to CoolSpools if and when new versions are released. @riadne will supply upgrade keys free of charge if a valid maintenance contract is in force. @riadne will not supply such keys if the maintenance contract has expired (if the latest maintenance invoice is unpaid).

·             If a valid maintenance contract is in force, @riadne will also provide support for CoolSpools. Problems should be notified by email to support@ariadnesoftware.co.uk. @riadne will use its best endeavours to respond to reasonable requests for assistance.

·             @riadne prices are quoted in euros and US dollars. Prices in other currencies may fluctuate depending on the exchange rate between the euro and the currency in question.
