PRIZMDOC ‘SHRINK-WRAP’ LICENSE AGREEMENT

 

PLEASE READ THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT (“AGREEMENT”) WHICH GOVERNS YOUR RIGHT TO USE OF PRIZMDOC (“PROGRAM”).  YOU MUST ACCEPT THESE TERMS BEFORE YOU ARE PERMITTED TO INSTALL THE PROGRAM.  YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO CONTRACTUALLY BIND THE ORGANIZATION OR ENTITY YOU REPRESENT (“LICENSEE”) TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS.

BY CHECKING THE “I ACCEPT THE TERMS IN THE LICENSE AGREEMENT” CHECKBOX AND THEN CONTINUING WITH THE INSTALLATION AND USE OF PROGRAM BY PUSHING THE “NEXT” BUTTON, YOU AND LICENSEE AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT. AND YOU EXPLICITLY CONFIRM THAT YOU ARE ACCEPTING OUR PRIVACY POLICY.  IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT POLICY, PLEASE EMAIL privacy@accusoft.com.

1.           Background.  Accusoft Corporation, a Florida corporation, (“Accusoft”) is the owner of all right, title, and interest in the software system known as PrizmDoc Viewer (“Program”) and consisting of an installed front-end component plus either an installed back-end component hosted by LICENSEE or back-end services known as PrizmDoc Cloud (“Service”) hosted by Accusoft.  LICENSEE desires to receive and use a copy of Program under the terms and conditions stated herein, for purpose of evaluating the Program under an Evaluation Mode Limited License (Paragraph 3) or for a commercial purpose under a Commercial License (Paragraph 4).

 

2.           Evaluation Mode and Licensed Mode

 

Default Installation - Evaluation Mode (or Trial Licensing)

 

The Program installation installs Program in Evaluation Mode. This allows you to test all Program features and functions. Images may be displayed with a watermark on them and occasionally dialogs may be posted reminding you that Program is in evaluation mode. Printed, exported and e-mailed images may also display a watermark.  This Evaluation Mode license expires after 30 days at which time Program will cease operating.  If your evaluation is not complete at that time, please contact www.accusoft.com or sales@accusoft.com to see if your Evaluation Mode license time can be extended.

 

Changing from Evaluation Mode to Licensed Mode

 

A Commercial License may be purchased at www.accusoft.com or through sales@accusoft.com and then LICENSEE’s rights as to the number of installations and scope and term of use are governed solely by the purchased license and LICENSEE is required to purchase the appropriate license PRIOR TO SUCH INSTALLATIONS.

 

Accusoft software applications, including Program, are limited to use on a single computer. No runtimes or copies may be installed or distributed unless that installation or distribution is granted by a direct license from Accusoft. These 'license agreements' provide the terms and limits of number of copies and usage.

 

All prospective customers have every opportunity to evaluate Accusoft's products including Program prior to purchasing. Accusoft fully supports and warrants its code and its pricing of Program reflects those support and warranty costs.

  

3.           Evaluation Mode Limited License.  In Evaluation Mode, Accusoft grants to LICENSEE only a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive and non-assignable license to evaluate the Program on a single computer for a thirty (30) day period beginning on the date of download of the Program and as may be subsequently extended by Accusoft on LICENSEE’s request (“Term”), for the sole purpose of evaluating the Program (the “Purpose”), and not for any commercial usage.  For clarity, LICENSEE may only install and use the Program on a single computer, and may only use it in an internal testing or proof-of-concept environment.  LICENSEE IS NOT PERMITTED TO INSTALL AND USE THE PROGRAM IN A PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT.  Either party may terminate this Agreement for convenience prior to the end of the Term on one day’s written notice (email notice is acceptable) to the other party.  LICENSEE shall have no right to, and shall not assign this Agreement whether by transfer, assignment, merger or otherwise. 

 

4.           Commercial License.  A license may be purchased at www.accusoft.com or through sales@accusoft.com.  If a separate license agreement for Program is entered into between Accusoft and LICENSEE at that time, then the terms of that agreement and the Term of that agreement shall govern only where different from the terms and Term of this Agreement.  If a separate Accusoft license agreement for Program is not entered into at that time, then LICENSEE’s permitted use of Program is governed by this Paragraph 4., replacing Paragraph 3. Evaluation Mode Limited License, and all other terms and Term are according to this Agreement.  In that case, Accusoft grants to LICENSEE a limited, non-exclusive, non-assignable license to install and use Program on one computer for one year beginning on the date of purchase of Program and as may subsequently be extended by Accusoft on LICENSEE’s request (“Term”).  LICENSEE is only permitted to transfer this license one time to one third party provided that: a) LICENSEE does not install or use Program except on behalf of the third party, and (b) the third party also agrees to all the terms of this Agreement as LICENSEE.  When LICENSEE uses PrizmDoc Cloud Service, LICENSEE’s Commercial License includes a monthly transaction limit or a fixed number of transactions (known as a “Transaction Bucket”) which are not time limited except as noted in Section 7 below.  

 

5.           Error and Usage Reporting.  LICENSEE acknowledges that Program includes an Error and Usage Reporting mechanism that may automatically exchange error and usage information with an Accusoft server or servers over the Internet when a connection to the Internet is available.

 

6.           Ownership.  LICENSEE acknowledges and agrees that Accusoft owns all right, title and interest in the Program, in all forms, including without limitation any and all worldwide proprietary rights therein, including but not limited to trademarks, copyrights, patent rights, patent continuations, trade secrets and confidential information.

 

7.           LICENSEE Service Restrictions

a. If LICENSEE’s usage of Service exceeds their monthly transaction limit, LICENSEE agrees that Accusoft may charge LICENSEE an additional monthly fee for overage transactions at the same per transaction rate reached at their transaction limit.

b. LICENSEE agrees to indemnify and hold Accusoft harmless from any claim, action or proceeding arising in any way from LICENSEE’s uploaded content or from LICENSEE’s usage of uploaded content.

c. LICENSEE agrees to access or use Service solely via their licensed usage of Program.

d. LICENSEE agrees the Service account key allowing their licensed access to Service is Proprietary Information of Accusoft as defined below, that they are responsible for the security of Service account key, that they will only allow use of Service account key from their licensed usage of Program installed on their one allowed licensed host and that they will immediately notify Accusoft if they learn that their Service account key was used by any other party in any other way.

e. LICENSEE is prohibited from reverse-engineering or hacking Service including Service API’s

(Application Programming Interfaces).

f. LICENSEE is prohibited from removing or obscuring Accusoft or PrizmDoc marks.

g. LICENSEE agrees they will access or use Service only during Term and LICENSEE agrees to discontinue all use of Service following Term and following termination of Agreement for any other reason.

h. Transactions purchased in a Transaction Bucket do not expire based on time, except Accusoft reserves the right with thirty days notice to cancel unused transactions in the case of zero activity for 180 days, or if older than one year, or immediately if Service account is closed or terminated per the terms of this Agreement.

 

8.           Accusoft Service Obligations

12.          Indemnification by LICENSEE.  LICENSEE SHALL INDEMNIFY, HOLD HARMLESS AND DEFEND ACCUSOFT FOR ANY LOSS, CLAIM, ACTION OR PROCEEDING THAT ARISES OR RESULTS FROM ANY ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS OF LICENSEE PERTAINING TO THE PRODUCT OR FROM LICENSEE USAGE OF PROGRAM NOT PERMITTED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

 

13.         Termination.  This Agreement and the limited license shall expire at midnight on the last day of the Term.  This Agreement shall also terminate immediately upon LICENSEE’S breach of any provision of this Agreement.  Upon expiration or termination of the Term or any other termination, LICENSEE shall have no license or rights whatsoever in or regarding the Program, shall immediately cease to use the Program, and shall uninstall the Program from LICENSEE’s and any other computers, and shall destroy all copies of the Program, unless LICENSEE has entered into a separate Accusoft license agreement for the Program signed by an authorized representative of Accusoft.  In the event of any termination for any reason all sections of this Agreement survive except Paragraphs 2, 3, and 4.

15.         Injunctive Relief.  LICENSEE agrees that any violation or threat of violation of this Agreement will result in irreparable harm to Accusoft for which damages would be an inadequate remedy.  Therefore, in addition to its rights and remedies available at law (including but not limited to the recovery of damages for breach of this Agreement), Accusoft shall be entitled to immediate injunctive relief to prevent any violation of Accusoft’s copyright, trademark, trade secret rights regarding the Program, or any violation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, unauthorized use, copying, distribution or disclosure of or regarding the Program, as well as any other equitable relief as the court may deem proper under the circumstances.
