PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT WHICH GOVERNS YOUR RIGHT TO USE OF THE TOOLKIT. YOU MUST ACCEPT THESE TERMS BEFORE YOU ARE ALLOWED TO INSTALL THE TOOLKIT. YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO CONTRACTUALLY BIND THE ORGANIZATION AGREEING TO THESE TERMS.
BY CLICKING "I ACCEPT," OR INSTALLING TOOLKIT, OR PLACING TOOLKIT IN-USE, LICENSEE IS AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT.
1. GRANT OF AGREEMENT
This Accusoft Corporation, ("ACCUSOFT") Software License Agreement ("AGREEMENT") grants the organization contracting under this agreement as licensee ("LICENSEE") a limited, nontransferable, nonexclusive and non-assignable license to use the trial mode version of this ACCUSOFT Development Toolkit ("TOOLKIT") on a single computer for evaluation of fitness only and not for any commercial purpose; or to use a properly purchased and registered TOOLKIT, for development purposes only on a single computer, provided the TOOLKIT is IN-USE on only one computer at any time. (However additional TOOLKIT licenses may be purchased.) TOOLKIT is "IN-USE" on a computer when it becomes loaded by any means for any purpose into temporary memory (that is, including but not limited to RAM) or when it becomes copied or installed to less temporary storage by any means for any purpose (that is, including but not limited to hard disk, CD-ROM or other removable disk or tape, USB or other flash memory drive or card, or other local, networked, or cloud storage device) when it is accessible to that computer. The TOOLKIT is explicitly not to be used on a site-wide basis, via a server or other networked connection.
2. REDISTRIBUTION OF TOOLKIT RUNTIMES
ACCUSOFT does not grant LICENSEE any rights to deploy, license, sell, reproduce, copy, install, lease, timeshare, rent, or otherwise distribute or transfer TOOLKIT or any portion of TOOLKIT ("PORTION") except as provided in Section 1. GRANT OF AGREEMENT. For licensing information about any other distribution of TOOLKIT or PORTION, please visit our web site (www.accusoft.com/licensing.htm), or contact our sales staff. LICENSEE agrees to notify ACCUSOFT immediately of any violations or changes in status regarding LICENSEE's compliance with any term of this AGREEMENT.
In the event that ACCUSOFT grants LICENSEE in a written separate runtime license agreement ("RUNTIME AGREEMENT") a right to deploy, license, sell, reproduce, copy, install, lease, timeshare, rent, or otherwise distribute or transfer PORTIONS, the RUNTIME AGREEMENT will specify what PORTIONS may be distributed ("RUNTIME"). LICENSEE agrees to acknowledge and uphold the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT as well as the terms of the RUNTIME AGREEMENT itself, which will be provided only in writing. In such event, LICENSEE may distribute RUNTIMES as part of the LICENSEE's software application or derivative works ("PRODUCT") upon additionally agreeing to the following:
a) LICENSEE understands and acknowledges that in order to receive any discounted pricing for RUNTIME distribution licensing fees based on the type of installation, it must either: 1) prepay for a number of RUNTIME licenses that is sufficient to qualify for ACCUSOFT's then-current published quantity discount, or 2) it must pay for the licenses in accordance with a written contract between LICENSEE and ACCUSOFT.
b) LICENSEE's PRODUCT shall not compete to any degree with the TOOLKIT. Such competitive PRODUCTS are defined as software development toolkits that include similar functionality as TOOLKIT and that are intended for use by software developers and/or system integrators.
c) LICENSEE's PRODUCT must be substantially greater in scope with greater functionality and features than those of the TOOLKIT.
d) LICENSEE will not use ACCUSOFT's name, logo, or trademarks to market PRODUCT without prior written approval of ACCUSOFT except LICENSEE will include a statement substantially similar to the following within PRODUCT documentation and about box: "Portions of this product contain imaging and other technology owned by Accusoft Corporation, Tampa, FL, (www.accusoft.com). ALL RIGHTS RESERVED." See Section 20. THIRD PARTY NOTICES for additional requirements.
e) LICENSEE agrees to only distribute the RUNTIMES. No license or other rights are granted to LICENSEE for any distribution of the TOOLKIT or PORTIONS including, but not limited to, documentation, source code, or the RUNTIME distribution unlock codes.
g) LICENSEE will only distribute the RUNTIMES on the hardware and operating system(s) for which the RUNTIMES are intended to be used according to the RUNTIME AGREEMENT.
If ANY of the terms of this AGREEMENT are not applicable to LICENSEE'S situation, or if any of the terms of this AGREEMENT cannot be complied with, or if LICENSEE needs modifications to this AGREEMENT or the license granted for any reason, LICENSEE must contact ACCUSOFT about obtaining an expanded license from ACCUSOFT (available by phone at: 813-875-7575, x321, by e-mail at: Sales@accusoft.com or by fax at: 813-875-7705).

The foregoing sentence shall be applicable unless LICENSEE has negotiated and entered into a written, signed agreement with ACCUSOFT for such reduced or discounted licensing fees or royalties and paid ACCUSOFT such fees or royalties in advance of any: (a) distribution of the TOOLKIT or PORTION, (b) copying of the TOOLKIT or PORTION, or (c) incorporation or use of the TOOLKIT or PORTION in or pertaining to any PRODUCT or service of LICENSEE. Further, LICENSEE agrees that it shall not be entitled to reduced licensing fees or royalties when determining ACCUSOFT's damages due to any undertaking or activity by LICENSEE regarding the TOOLKIT or PORTION outside of or exceeding the scope of permission or other terms of this AGREEMENT, or LICENSEE's actions otherwise in violation of this AGREEMENT.

15. SEVERABILITY
If any provision of this AGREEMENT is determined to be invalid by any court of final jurisdiction, then it shall be omitted and the remainder of the AGREEMENT shall continue to be binding and enforceable. In addition, the Court is hereby authorized to enforce any provision of the AGREEMENT that the Court otherwise deems unenforceable, to whatever lesser extent the Court deems reasonable and appropriate, rather than invalidating the entire provision. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, LICENSEE expressly agrees that should LICENSEE be found to have breached the AGREEMENT, under no circumstances shall LICENSEE be entitled to any volume or other discount, or reduced licensing fee or royalty in the determination of ACCUSOFT's damages, or otherwise in the determination of any licensing fee or royalty owed to ACCUSOFT.
