GRANT OF LICENSE. This License Agreement permits you to use one copy of the accompanying LEAD software program known as LEADTOOLS ePrint Professional, in machine readable binary object code form, (the "Software"), which may include electronic documentation, on a single computer/workstation. The Software is "in use" on a computer when it is loaded into the temporary memory (i.e., RAM or Cache) or installed into a permanent memory (e.g., hard disk, CD-ROM drive or other storage device) of that computer. This License does not constitute a sale and does not authorize a sale of the Software or anything created thereby. All intellectual property rights (including copyright, trademark and patent) in the Software are owned by LEAD and its suppliers and licensors, and are protected by the United States laws and international treaty provisions. LEAD and its suppliers and licensors retain all rights not expressly granted herein. You must treat the Software like any other copyrighted material, except that you may make one copy of the Software solely for backup or archival purposes. You may transfer your rights under this Agreement on a permanent basis provided you transfer the license granted by this Agreement, and the Software and all associated printed materials, and you retain no copies, and the recipient agrees to all of the terms of this Agreement.

 

 

In the event you fail to comply with any of the terms or conditions of this license, your rights to use the Software will end, you shall stop using the Software, remove the Software from your computer and permanently erase all copies of the Software. You may terminate this License at any time by destroying the Software and all copies thereof. You may not export or re-export the Software or any underlying information or technology except in full compliance with all United States and other applicable laws and regulations.

 

LIMITED WARRANTY. LEAD and its suppliers and licensors warrant to the original installer of the Software, for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of purchase, that the media on which the Software is distributed is substantially free from defects in materials and workmanship. Except as set forth above, the Software is sold "as is," without any express or implied warranties of any kind. ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE AND THE ACCOMPANYING WRITTEN MATERIALS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NONINFRINGMENT ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED.

 

REMEDIES. Your exclusive remedy shall be, at LEAD’s sole option, (a) the refund of the amount you paid for the Software or (b) repair or replacement of the Software, provided that the defective Software is returned to LEAD (at LEAD Technologies, Inc., 1927 South Tryon Street, Suite 200, Charlotte, NC 28203, telephone 704-332-5532) along with proof of the date of purchase within thirty (30) days from the date of purchase.

IN NO EVENT WILL LEAD’S AND ITS SUPPLIERS’ AND LICENSORS’ LIABILITY EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE SOFTWARE REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE CLAIM (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY CONTRACT, PRODUCT LIABILITY OR TORT CLAIM). BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

INDEMNIFICATION  In the event that a claim is filed in a court of competent jurisdiction alleging that the Software used within the scope of the license granted hereunder directly infringes any copyright or trade secret of any third party ("Infringement Action"), LEAD shall indemnify, defend and hold Licensee harmless from and against such Infringement Action and any and all costs, damages, penalties and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, finally resulting from or awarded in actions attributable to such claim, provided that (a) Licensee promptly notifies LEAD in writing of the existence of such Infringement Action when Licensee becomes aware of such Infringement Action, (b) LEAD has control of the defense of such Infringement Action and all related settlement negotiations, and (c) Licensee provides all reasonable assistance and cooperation in such defense. In the event of an infringement claim for which LEAD is obligated to indemnify Licensee, LEAD may, at its sole discretion, (i) obtain a license that allows Licensee to continue using the Software, or (ii) replace or modify the Software so as to be non-infringing in a manner that does not materially affect its functionality. The foregoing represents LEAD’s sole responsibility to Licensee in the event of a third party infringement claim of any kind, and it is agreed that LEAD will have no responsibility or liability whatsoever in connection with any third party patent claims.

 

MISCELLANEOUS. No change or modification of the License will be valid unless it is in writing and is signed by LEAD. The provisions of this Agreement are severable; if any provision is held to be invalid or unenforceable, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. If the Software was acquired outside the United States, then local law may apply. Any and all disputes arising hereunder will be heard and settled exclusively in state or federal courts located in the city of Charlotte, County of Mecklenburg, North Carolina, and you hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such courts.
