2.1 Software License. This Section 2.1 applies to Customers who have purchased a license to the Software.

2.1.1 License Grant. Subject to Customer’s continuous compliance with this Agreement and payment of the applicable license fees, Thinking Strings grants Customer a non-exclusive and limited license to install and use the Software (a) in the territory or region where Customer obtains the Software from Thinking Strings or Thinking Strings’s authorized reseller or as otherwise stated in the Documentation (“Territory”), (b) during the term of such license (“License Term”), (c) within the scope of the License Type and on the Permitted Number of Customer’s Compatible Computers as specified in the Documentation, and (d) in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement and applicable Documentation. Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, in the applicable Documentation, or at the time of purchase, License Term shall be perpetual. Upon the expiration or termination of the License Term, some or all of the Software may cease to operate without prior notice. Upon expiration or termination of the License Term, Customer may not use the Software unless Customer has renewed the license. The license granted herein is supplemented by specific provisions in Section 16 as related to the use of certain applicable products and components that may be included with the Software.

2.1.2 License Types.

2.1.2.1 Non-Serialized Software. The Software, or portions of the Software, that are provided without a serial number during the License Term may only be installed and used on any number of Compatible Computers as part of an organizational deployment plan during the License Term for demonstration, evaluation, and training purposes only, and only if any Output Files or other materials produced through such use are used only for internal, non-commercial, and non-production purposes.

2.1.2.2 Evaluation Software. The Software, or portions of the Software, that are provided with a serial number designated for “evaluation purposes” or other similar designation (such as Software or a serial number supplied as “EVAL” under a separate agreement) (“Evaluation Software”) may only be installed and used on Permitted Number of Compatible Computers during the License Term for demonstration, evaluation, and training purposes only, and only if any Output Files or other materials produced through such use are used only for internal, non-commercial, and non-production purposes. THE EVALUATION SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS”. ACCESS TO AND USE OF ANY OUTPUT FILES CREATED WITH SUCH EVALUATION SOFTWARE IS ENTIRELY AT CUSTOMER’S OWN RISK.

2.1.2.3 Subscription Edition. For the Software available on a subscription-basis (“Subscription Edition”), Customer may install and use the Subscription Edition only on the Permitted Number of Compatible Computer during the License Term. Subject to the Permitted Number of Computers for the Subscription Edition, Thinking Strings may allow Customer to install and use the most recent prior version of the Subscription Edition and the current version of the Subscription Edition on the same Computer during the License Term. Customer agrees that Thinking Strings may change the type of Software (such as specific components, versions, platforms, languages, etc.) included in the Subscription Edition at any time and shall not be liable to Customer whatsoever for such change. Ongoing access to a Subscription Edition requires: (a) a recurring Internet connection to activate, renew, and validate the license, (b) Thinking Strings or its authorized reseller’s receipt of recurring subscription payments, and (c) Customer’s agreement to subscription terms and other additional terms and conditions that are available at https://thinkingstrings.com or at the time of purchase. If Thinking Strings does not receive the recurring subscription payment or cannot validate the license periodically, then the Software may become inactive without additional notice until Thinking Strings receives the payment or validates the license.

2.1.3 Portable or Home Computer Use. Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 2.1.4, the primary user of the Computer on which the Software is installed under Section 2.1 (“Primary User”) may install a second copy of the Software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable Computer or a Computer located at his or her home, provided that the Software on the portable or home Computer is not used at the same time as the Software on the primary Computer.

2.1.4 Restrictions on Secondary Use by Volume Licensees. If the Software was obtained under an Thinking Strings volume license program or agreement (such as Thinking Strings Volume Licensing) by any licensee other than an educational volume licensee, then the second copy of the Software made under Section 2.1.3 must be used solely for the benefit and business of that volume licensee.

2.1.5 Dual Boot Platform. The Software is licensed for use on a specific operating system platform. Customer must purchase a separate license for use of the Software on each operating system platform. By way of example, if Customer desires to install the Software on both the Mac OS and Windows operating system platforms on a device that runs both of those platforms (i.e., a dual boot machine), then Customer must first obtain two separate licenses for the Software. This is true even if two versions of the Software, each designed for a different operating system platform, are delivered to Customer on the same media.

2.1.6 Distribution from a Server. As permitted by the Documentation, Customer may copy an image of the Software onto a Computer file server within Customer’s Internal Network (“Server”) for the purpose of downloading and installing the Software onto Computers within the same Internal Network for use only as permitted by this Section 2.

2.1.7 Server Use.

2.1.7.1 As permitted in a separate purchasing document or Documentation and subject to license restrictions stated in this Agreement, Customer may install the Software on a Server only for the purpose of allowing an individual from a Computer within the same Internal Network (“Network User”) to access and use the Software. The Network User who has access to such Software on the Server is referred to as “Server Software User”. The total number of Server Software Users (not the concurrent number of users) may not exceed the Permitted Number. By way of example, if Customer has purchased 10 licenses of Software (Permitted Number is 10) and Customer elects to install the Software on a Server, then Customer can only allow up to 10 Server Software Users the access to the Software (even though Customer may have more than 10 Network Users or fewer than 10 concurrent users of the Software).

2.1.7.2 For clarification and without limitation, the foregoing does not permit Customer to install or access (either directly or through commands, data, or instructions) the Software: (a) from or to a Computer not part of Customer’s Internal Network; (b) for enabling web hosted workgroups or web hosted services available to the public; (c) by any individual or entity to use, download, copy, or otherwise benefit from the functionality of the Software unless licensed to do so by Thinking Strings; (d) as a component of a system, workflow or service accessible by more than the Permitted Number of users; or (e) for operations not initiated by an individual user (e.g., automated server processing).

2.2.1 Thinking Strings Online Services Related to the Membership.

Upon the expiration or termination of the Membership Term, (x) some or all of the Software may cease to operate without prior notice and (y) Customer may not use the Software unless Customer has renewed the membership. All terms related to the specific Software as stated in this Agreement shall remain effective and continue to apply to Customer and its use of such Software.

2.2.3 Restrictions.

2.3 Content Files. Unless stated otherwise in the “Read-Me” files, Documentation, or other license(s) associated with the Content Files, Customer may use, display, modify, reproduce, and distribute any of the Content Files. However, Customer may not distribute the Content Files on a stand-alone basis (i.e., in circumstances in which the Content Files constitute the primary value of the product being distributed), and Customer may not claim any trademark rights in the Content Files or derivative works thereof. Nothing stated herein shall affect the ownership of the Software as stated in Section 3.

2.4 Sample Application Code. Customer may modify the source code form of those portions of the Software programs that are expressly identified as sample code, sample application code, code snippets, ActionScript class files, or sample components (each, “Sample Application Code”) in the accompanying Documentation solely for the purposes of designing, developing, and testing websites and applications developed using Thinking Strings software programs; provided, however, Customer is permitted to copy and distribute the Sample Application Code (modified or unmodified) only if all of the following conditions are met: (a) Customer distributes only the compiled object code versions of the Sample Application Code with its application; (b) Customer does not include the Sample Application Code in any product or application designed for website development; and (c) Customer does not use the Thinking Strings name, logos, icons, or other Thinking Strings trademarks to market its application.

2.5 Documentation Copies. Customer may make copies of the Documentation for its own internal use in connection with use of the Software in accordance with this agreement, but no more than the amount reasonably necessary.

3. Intellectual Property Ownership.

The Software and any authorized copies that Customer makes are the intellectual property of and are owned by Thinking Strings, LLC and its suppliers.

4.5 No Unbundling. The Software may include various applications and components, may allow access to different Thinking Strings Online Services, may support multiple platforms and languages, and may be provided to Customer on multiple media or in multiple copies. Nonetheless, the Software is designed and provided to Customer as a single product to be used as a single product on Computers as permitted herein. Unless otherwise permitted in the Documentation, Customer is not required to install all component parts of the Software, but Customer may not unbundle the component parts of the Software for use on different Computers.

4.7 No Service Bureau. Customer will not use or offer the Software on a service bureau basis. Section 16.6.3 provides a limited exception for font software only.

If Customer wishes to use this Update in addition to the Prior Version, then Customer may only do so on the same Computer on which it has installed and is using the Prior Version. Any obligations that Thinking Strings may have to support Prior Versions during the License Term may end upon the availability of this Update. No other use of the Update is permitted. Additional Updates may be licensed to Customer by Thinking Strings with additional or different terms.

Non-substantial variation of performance from the user manual does not establish a warranty right. This limited warranty does not apply to the following, which are made available AS-IS and without warranty from Thinking Strings: (i) patches; (ii) font software; (iii) Pre-release Software, trial, starter, evaluation, product sampler, Evaluation Software, and not-for-resale copies of the Software; (iv) websites, Thinking Strings Online Services; and Third Party Online Services; (v) Certified Document Services (see Section 16); and (vi) any software made available by Thinking Strings for free via web download from an Thinking Strings website.

The entire liability of Thinking Strings and its affiliates related to such warranty claim and Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy under any warranty will be limited to either, at Thinking Strings’s option, support of the Software based on the warranty claim, replacement of the Software, or, if support or replacement is not practicable at Thinking Strings’s determination, refund of the license fee Customer paid for the Software (if any). THE LIMITED WARRANTY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION GIVES CUSTOMER SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS. CUSTOMER MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS UNDER LAW WHICH MAY VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. Thinking Strings DOES NOT SEEK TO LIMIT CUSTOMER’S WARRANTY RIGHTS TO ANY EXTENT NOT PERMITTED BY LAW. Please see Section 16 for jurisdiction-specific provisions or contact the Thinking Strings Customer Support Department.

IN ANY EVENT, Thinking Strings’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY AND THAT OF ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, AND CERTIFICATE AUTHORITIES UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE, IF ANY.

Software or Customer may also receive information from Thinking Strings related to Customer’s license, subscription, or Membership. Thinking Strings may use such information to detect or prevent fraudulent or unauthorized use not in accordance with a valid license, subscription, or Membership. Failure to activate or register the Software, validate the subscription or Membership, or a determination by Thinking Strings of fraudulent or unauthorized use of the Software may result in reduced functionality, inoperability of the Software, or a termination or suspension of the subscription or Membership.

14.4 Deactivation. Customer may deactivate and uninstall the Software from its Computer in order to install and activate the Software on another Computer in accordance with this agreement (“Deactivation”) and as further described in https://thinkingstrings.com.

16. Specific Provisions and Exceptions.

This section sets forth specific provisions related to certain products and components of the Software as well as limited exceptions to the above terms and conditions. To the extent that any provision in this section is in conflict with any other term or condition in this agreement, the terms stated in this section will supersede such other term or condition.

16.1 No Prejudice; European Economic Area Provisions; Australia Mandatory Notice.

16.1.1 This agreement will not prejudice the statutory rights of any party, including those dealing as consumers. For example, for consumers in New Zealand who obtain the Software for personal, domestic, or household use (not business purposes), this agreement is subject to the Consumer Guarantees Act.

16.1.2 If Customer obtained the Software in the European Economic Area (EEA), Customer usually resides in the EEA and Customer is a consumer (that is its use of the Software is for personal, non-business related purposes), then Section 6 (Limited Warranty) does not apply to Customer’s purchase and use of the Software. Instead, Thinking Strings warrants for a period of 2 years from purchase that the Software provides the functionalities set forth in the applicable user manual (the “agreed upon functionalities”) when used on the Compatible Computer. Non-substantial variation from the agreed upon functionalities will not establish any warranty rights. THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO SOFTWARE THAT CUSTOMER USES ON A PRE-RELEASE, TRYOUT, STARTER, OR PRODUCT SAMPLER BASIS, OR TO FONT SOFTWARE, OR TO THE EXTENT THE SOFTWARE FAILS TO PERFORM BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN ALTERED BY CUSTOMER. To make a warranty claim, Customer must notify the Thinking Strings Customer Support Department during this 2 year period, providing details of proof of purchase of the Software. Thinking Strings will verify with Customer whether there is a defect in the Software or advise Customer that the error arises because Customer has not installed the Software correctly (in which case, Thinking Strings shall assist Customer). If there is a defect in the Software, Customer may request from Thinking Strings either a refund or a repaired or replacement copy of the Software. Requests must be accompanied by proof of purchase. In the event Customer’s warranty details are substantiated, Thinking Strings will meet Customer’s request for repaired or replacement Software, unless it is not reasonable for Thinking Strings to do so, in which case Thinking Strings will provide Customer with a refund. For warranty assistance, please contact the Thinking Strings Customer Support Department.

Please note that the provisions of Section 8 (Limitation of Liability) will continue to apply to any damages claims Customer makes in respect of its use of the Software. Nonetheless, Thinking Strings shall be liable for direct losses that are reasonably foreseeable in the event of a breach by Thinking Strings of this agreement. Customer is advised to take all reasonable measures to avoid and reduce damages, in particular by making back-up copies of the Software and its computer data.

This agreement, and in particular this Section 16.1.2, is intended to describe Customer’s rights (including its statutory rights) in the event there should be problems with its use of the Software. If Customer’s statutory rights are greater than this description, its statutory rights shall apply.

16.1.3 Nothing included in this agreement (including Section 4.4) shall limit any non-waivable right to decompile the Software that Customer may enjoy under applicable law. For example, if Customer is located in the European Union (EU), Customer may have the right upon certain conditions specified in the applicable law to decompile the Software if it is necessary to do so in order to achieve interoperability of the Software with another software program, and Customer has first asked Thinking Strings in writing to provide the information necessary to achieve such operability and Thinking Strings has not made such information available. In addition, such decompilation may only be performed by Customer or someone else entitled to use a copy of the Software on Customer’s behalf. Thinking Strings has the right to impose reasonable conditions before providing such information. Any information supplied by Thinking Strings or obtained by Customer, as permitted hereunder, may only be used by Customer for the purpose described herein and may not be disclosed to any third party or used to create any software that is substantially similar to the expression of the Software or used for any other act that infringes the copyright of Thinking Strings or its licensors.

16.1.4 If Customer obtains the Software in Australia, then the following provision shall apply, notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary in this Agreement:

16.2 Pre-release Software Additional Terms. If the Software is pre-commercial release or beta software (“Pre-release Software”), then this section applies. The Pre-release Software does not represent final product from Thinking Strings, and may contain bugs, errors, and other problems that could cause system or other failures and data loss. Thinking Strings may never commercially release the Pre-release Software. If Customer received the Pre-release Software pursuant to a separate written agreement, such as the Thinking Strings Systems, LLC License Agreement for Pre-release Software, then Customer’s use of the Software is also governed by such agreement. Customer will promptly return or destroy all copies of Pre-release Software upon the earlier of Thinking Strings’s request or upon Thinking Strings’s commercial release of such Software. CUSTOMER’S USE OF PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE IS AT ITS OWN RISK. SEE SECTIONS 6 AND 8 FOR LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIABILITY LIMITATIONS RELATED TO PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE.
