9. Software Activation
The Licensed Software leverages a 3rd Party Software Activation Service as one method of protecting its intellectual property. The activation service is provided by Softworkz Innovation Inc. (www.softworkz.com) (“Softworkz”).  
Software activation is an anti-piracy technology designed to verify that the product has been legitimately licensed in compliance with the software’s end-user license agreement. It reduces a form of piracy known as "casual copying," or the sharing of software between people in a way that violates the license agreement. Activation is a one-time completely anonymous procedure and requires no personally identifiable information from the end user.

Software activation works by validating that the software's activation ID, required as part of product installation, has not been used on more PCs than allowed by the software's end user license agreement.  Activation is completed directly via an internet data connection to the softworkz activation service or as an ‘offline’ activation via Licensor support.  Installations beyond those allowed in the license agreement will fail to activate.   Successful software activation creates a license key file which is stored on the local computer.
By executing this Agreement, Customer acknowledges and agrees to abide by the terms and conditions set forth on the Softworkz website.  Customer also understands and agrees that Licensor shall not be liable to Customer for any conduct or performance of Softworkz.  

 


10. Other Terms
10.1. Ownership of IP Rights: Licensor and its licensors own all right, title, and interest in all intellectual property in and related to the Licensed Products, Documentation, and design techniques. Customer has no ownership interest in any of the Licensed Products, Documentation, and design techniques, or any of Licensor’s intellectual property.   


10.2.  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement is the entire agreement between Licensor and Customer, and shall supersede any prior agreements, understandings, or discussions (written or oral).  The parties understand that all prior writings between them constitute non-binding terms, all of which are superseded by the terms of this Agreement.  Accordingly, the parties agree that their intent is best expressed by the terms residing within this written document.  


10.3. Export Controls: Customer agrees that the goods, software, and technology subject to this agreement are subject to the export control laws and regulations of the United States, including but not limited to the Export Administration Regulations ("EAR"), and sanctions regulations of the U.S. Department of Treasury, Office of Foreign Asset Controls and that Customer will comply with these laws and regulations. Without limiting the foregoing, if any technology, software or source code governed by this agreement, or the direct product of any such technology, software or source code (each is a "Controlled Product"), is subject to the national security controls as identified on the Commerce Control List (the "Controlled Products"), Customer will not, without a U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security license or license exception, export, re-export, or transfer a Controlled Product, either directly or indirectly, to any national of any country identified in Country Groups D:1 or E:1 as defined in the EARs. In addition, goods, software and any technology subject to this agreement may not be exported, re-exported, or transferred to (a) any person or entity listed on the "Entity List", "Denied Persons List" or the list of "Specifically Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons" as such lists are maintained by the U.S. Government, or (b) an end-user engaged in activities related to weapons of mass destruction. Such activities include but are not necessarily limited to activities related to: (i) the design, development, production, or use of nuclear materials, nuclear facilities, or nuclear weapons; (ii) the design, development, production, or use of missiles or support of missiles projects; and (iii) the design, development, production, or use of chemical or biological weapons.

10.6. Remedies: Except where this agreement expressly provides exclusive remedies, all rights and remedies of either party (including termination rights) are cumulative. Each party agrees that monetary damages alone would not be an adequate remedy, and therefore each party will be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief if the other party materially breaches, as applicable, the license restrictions or confidentiality provisions in this agreement.


10.7. Force Majeure: In the event that either party is prevented from performing any of its non-monetary obligations under this Agreement due to any cause beyond its reasonable control, the affected party’s performance shall be excused and the time for performance shall be extended for the period of delay due to such occurrence, provided such party promptly notifies the other party and resumes performance as soon as practicable.


10.8. Construction: Section headings in this Agreement are for convenience only. The word "including" (and variations thereof) is not intended to be limiting. No rule of strict construction is to be used when interpreting this agreement.


10.9. Government Users: If Customer is a branch or agency of the United States Government, or are acquiring any Licensed Product on behalf of any branch or agency of the United States Government, then the following provision applies. The Licensed Products and Documentation are comprised of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation", as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212, and are provided to the Government (a) for acquisition by or on behalf of civilian agencies, consistent with the policy set forth in 48 C.F.R. 12.212; or (b) for acquisition by or on behalf of units of the Department of Defense, consistent with the policies set forth in 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 and 227.7202-3.

This Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party; such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that a party may, upon written notice to the other party, make an assignment of this Agreement and its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate, to the purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets of such party or to its successor entity or acquirer in the event of a merger, consolidation or change in control of such party, without such written consent; provided that in the case of an assignment by Customer, Customer will remain liable for its obligations incurred under this Agreement prior to the date of such assignment, and in all cases, the assignee will assume in writing all obligations of the assignor under this Agreement. Any other purported assignment will be null and void.  All validly assigned rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by and against the successors and permitted assigns of Customer or Licensor, as the case may be.
