Accusoft and its suppliers own the Software and all intellectual property rights embodied therein, including trade secrets embodied in the Software’s design, code, and organization. All intellectual property rights in the Software shall remain solely and exclusively owned by Accusoft and its suppliers. Accusoft’s and its suppliers’ ownership of the Software is protected by law, including international copyright laws and treaty provisions.
1.2 “Distribution” (and “Distribute”) means Licensee’s internal or external distribution of the Software according to the number of core or client seat licenses specified on the applicable signed purchase or sales order and on Accusoft’s invoice to you, and whether by physical media, SaaS hosting by you, or otherwise (but regardless of method, at all times limited to the number of licenses purchased in connection with such Distribution License.)
1.3 “Documentation” means, collectively, Accusoft’s electronic and on-line user manuals, and also other types of written materials that are provided to Customer in electronic form with the Software and/or via Accusoft’s corporate website.
1.4 “Software” means the software to which access is being provided to you by Accusoft subject to your continued compliance with the Agreement terms hereof and includes (a) applicable Documentation for such Software, and (b) any new or updated releases, including any enhancements, extensions, or other modifications to the Software if and when available and which are provided to Licensee under Maintenance and Support Services. “Software” excludes any open source software components bundled with certain optional components and further described below.
1.5 “PrizmDoc for Java” means Accusoft’s proprietary software application used for viewing, manipulating and converting images and documents.
1.6 Third-Party Notices for the Open source software components (“OSS Components”) included in the PrizmDoc for Java product/options are located at https://help.accusoft.com/VirtualViewer/latest/docs/legal/third-party.html. Such OSS Components are subject to separate open source software license agreements as also set forth in the above Third-Party Notices link and, to the extent conflicting with the license terms in this Agreement with respect to the specific OSS Components, those separate open source software license agreements supersede the license terms in this Agreement. These OSS Components are and remain the sole and exclusive property of their authors/creators. Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict, limit, or otherwise affect any rights or obligations you may have under the license terms of the OSS Components. You acknowledge that OSS Components are provided to you by Accusoft on an “as is” basis, without warranty or representation of any kind, and Accusoft shall have no liability to you or any third party with respect to your downloading, installation or use of the OSS Components.
2. LICENSE GRANT
2.1 Subject to your continual compliance with the terms of this Agreement and provided that you have paid your license and any support and maintenance fees in full, you are hereby granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable license to install and use the Software in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement for the term, if any, specified in the applicable Accusoft invoice (“License”). All intellectual property and intellectual property rights pertaining to the Software shall remain solely and exclusively owned by Accusoft and its suppliers, and Accusoft grants you no rights whatsoever other than this Agreement and any License.
2.2 Your rights to use a specific version of the Software shall terminate if you install and use any subsequent version of the same Software.
2.3 The Software may include various applications, utilities and components, may support multiple platforms and languages, and may be provided to you as an electronic transmission or on a physical medium commonly used for software exchange. Nonetheless, the Software is designed and provided to you under a single License as a single product for use by a number of client seats or number of cores as permitted by this Agreement and any License.
3. RESTRICTIONS ON USE/DISCLOSURE
3.1 You may not copy the Software except (a) in connection with your licensed rights to use the same, and (b) for one copy which you make for archival/disaster-recovery purposes only.
3.2 You may not transfer your license to another user without Accusoft’s express written consent. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but you must not use it to circumvent the intent of the licensing requirement to limit access and use of the Software according to the number of Applications, Cores, and/or Client Seats specified on your License. Any such transferred copies shall retain all copyright and other proprietary legends where and as set forth in the original.
3.3 PrizmDoc for Java includes Accusoft’s proprietary components and RasterMaster® technology, and Licensee’s use of such components and technology is strictly limited for use within PrizmDoc for Java and may not be unbundled for other uses. For example, the underlying RasterMaster library may not be used to create a conversion application. Any such use would require a separate purchase of a RasterMaster SDK license and distribution licenses.
3.4 YOUR LICENSE TO THE SOFTWARE DOES NOT AUTHORIZE YOU TO, AND YOU MAY NOT AUTHORIZE A THIRD PARTY TO:
a) use the Software on behalf of any third party, including, without limitation, time-sharing, service bureau, lease, or other basis, except as otherwise explicitly permitted in this Agreement and any License;
b) modify, translate, or create derivative works based on the Software;
c) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, or otherwise attempt to determine the source code, logic, sequencing, or internal algorithms of the Software unless OSS Components are included whose license requires allowing these;
d) unbundle, strip out, or repackage the Software or any of its components for use on different computers, distribution, transfer, or resale except as may be expressly permitted herein;
e) merge, incorporate, or include the Software (or any portion thereof) with another product except to the extent permitted by this Agreement;
f) copy the Software, except as expressly provided herein;
g) remove, deface or obscure any copyright or other proprietary legends in or on the Software or OSS Components;
h) transfer, assign, or provide access to the Software (or any portion thereof) to any other person or entity without Accusoft’s express written consent;
i) use the Software to develop, integrate, market, or resell software applications, products, services or environments that are substantially similar to the Software in function or capabilities and therefore may compete with the Software; or
j) resell the Software as a stand-alone solution to End Users or to third parties either within or outside your organization without appropriate licensing.
3.5 You will take reasonable actions to restrict and control all use of the Software and to enforce all restrictions of use set forth in this Agreement.
3.6 Video Technologies Distribution. Software may contain video compression/decompression technologies such as H.265 that are covered by third-party patents. If so, Accusoft has obtained patent licenses covering Accusoft’s distribution of Software. However Accusoft’s licenses do not extend to your product. You are responsible for obtaining any required third-party patent licenses for distribution of your product containing any portions of Software that include these technologies. You will indemnify and hold Accusoft harmless from any and all patent claims that arise from distribution of your product containing any portions of Software that include these technologies.
3.7 All rights to use the Software are conditional and are immediately forfeited and terminated if you fail to comply with the terms of this Agreement.
4. SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT SERVICES
Except for annual licenses, software maintenance and support services for the Software are not included in the price of the Software license but may be obtained separately at additional cost. For annual licenses, Maintenance and Support Services are included with the Software subscription and in such cases the fees for the Maintenance and Support Services are included in the price of the Software as set forth on Accusoft’s sales order to Licensee related to the purchase of such Software license.
5. PAYMENT TERMS
Invoices are due and payable upon receipt and before product delivery unless Accusoft agrees to payment terms. Should Accusoft agree to payment terms, late payments shall be subject to a service charge equal to 1 ½% per month of the amount due or the maximum amount allowed by law, whichever is less (“Late Payment”). If any Late Payment charges are not paid as part of the Late Payment, then the Late Payment charges are themselves a Late Payment under the terms of this Agreement. During any period when there is an unpaid Late Payment, in addition to all other remedies available to Accusoft, any and all annual Maintenance and Support Services that would otherwise be available under this Agreement shall be suspended and shall not be provided to Customer. Customer shall have no right of refund, offset, or any claim of breach or damages of any kind resulting from this suspension. License fees are non-refundable except as expressly provided herein. License and service fees are stated in U.S. dollars, exclusive of all applicable taxes, duties, or other governmental assessments. Licensee shall be liable for the payment of all such assessments (other than taxes based on Accusoft’s income) and shall indemnify Accusoft and pay directly or reimburse Accusoft for any penalties imposed on Accusoft by any applicable governmental entity as a result of Licensee’s failure to timely pay such assessments.
6. DISTRIBUTION REPORTS
6.1 Primary Contact Responsible for Reporting Distributions. You agree to identify a Primary Contact who shall have primary responsibility for the License and for receiving emailed Distribution reminder notices and for submitting all “Distribution Reports” of the number of Distribution Licenses used or distributed and reported according to the process further described herein. You may not change the Primary Contact without written notice to Accusoft.
6.2 Obligation to Report Distributions. During the term of this Agreement, you are required to submit distribution reports (“Distribution Reports,” or “Reports”) stating the number of Client Seat(s)/Core(s) that have been used during the previous calendar year, and you are required to pay additional license fees for Distributions that exceed the number purchased. Submission of these Reports is a material obligation of this License: a) whether the Software is Distributed externally or distributed internally within your organization, b) whether or not any additional license fees are due, c) whether or not the Software is under an active agreement for Maintenance and Support Services, or d) whether or not you made Distributions of the Software in the previous reporting period. If you have not made any Distributions since you were granted this license, you should also note that fact in your Distribution Report.
6.3 Excess Distribution. If you Distribute a number of licenses greater than the number of licenses granted to you, the excess licenses will be considered purchased in arrears, the twenty-five percent (25%) pre-distribution purchase discount built into the price list will not apply, and any other discounts that would normally apply to pre-distribution purchase of such Distribution licenses will not be offered.
6.4 Distribution Reminder Process and Due Dates. Reports are due within thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar year. Such Reports shall be due whether or not there have been any Distributions or other changes during the period covered by the report or whether or not any license fees are due. You shall submit Reports via an online form located at https://www.accusoft.com/virtualviewer-rastermaster-license-reporting/. As a convenience to you prior to each upcoming annual deadline, Accusoft will ordinarily send you an email reminder (“Reminder”) of this ongoing reporting obligation. It is your responsibility to notify Accusoft of any change to the Primary Contact to ensure that you receive Reminders. However you are required to submit Distribution Reports on this schedule even if you do not receive any reminder.
6.5 Effects of Violation. If you do not comply with the Reporting obligation of this license, Accusoft will attempt to send you commercially reasonable notice of this violation, and Accusoft will make a commercially reasonable effort to discuss the violation with you and to resolve such violation as a business matter (all of which may be sent via email to your Primary Contact). If, despite the foregoing, you fail to cure the violation, Accusoft shall have the right in its sole discretion to take any of the following actions: (i) cease to provide current maintenance and support services to you even if you have a current agreement for such services, (ii) refuse to offer additional licenses to you, or (iii) terminate this Agreement and any License pursuant to the terms of Section 9 (“Termination”) below.

If implied warranties may not be disclaimed under applicable law, then SUCH IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO ninety (90) days FROM THE PURCHASE DATE of the Software license.
