BEFORE CLICKING ON THE “FINISH” BUTTON IN THE SETUP WINDOW, AND TO COMMENCE DOWNLOADING THE SOFTWARE, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS LICENCE AGREEMENT. BY CLICKING ON THE “FINISH” BUTTON IN THE SETUP WINDOW YOU ARE AGREEING TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS LICENCE AGREEMENT AND AGREE TO BECOME A LICENSEE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS LICENCE AGREEMENT YOU SHOULD CLICK ON THE “CANCEL” BUTTON IN THE SETUP WINDOW AND NOT DOWNLOAD OR USE THE SOFTWARE.
When you accept the terms and conditions of this Licence Agreement by clicking on the “Finish” button in the setup window, Karus Systems Limited, a company registered in the United Kingdom under number 3568801 whose registered office is at The TechnoCentre, Coventry University Technology Park, Puma Way, Coventry, CV1 2TT (the “Licensor”) shall immediately grant you (the “Licensee”, “you”, “You” or “your” as the context may require) a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferrable licence to Use the first version of PalSist™, and any and all accompanying documentation (the “Software”) on a maximum of 1 Computer, subject to the terms and conditions of this Licence Agreement. You may not transfer the Software electronically from one computer to another and may not distribute it over a network.
1. Use of the Software
1.1 In this Licence Agreement, “Use” shall be defined as including the installation of the Software by copying, transmitting or loading it into the permanent memory of a computer or other device (each a “Computer”) for the processing of the system instructions or statements contained in the Software.
1.2 A maximum of 1 copy of the Software may be made for back-up and/or disaster recovery purposes.
2. Nature of the Software
2.1 The Software is commercially licensed software and not open-source, freeware or shareware. The first month following the commencement of the License Agreement shall be a trial period (the “Trial Period”). Following the Trial Period, the licence fee for every month of Use of the Software in accordance with this Licence Agreement is an amount payable every month in advance of the applicable month, and has been or shall be agreed between the Licensee and the Licensor (“Monthly License Fee”). In the event a Monthly License Fee is not agreed between the Licensee and the Licensor, and has not been paid by the Licensee to the Licensor prior to the first month of Use after the Trial Period, the Licensee’s access to the Software and the License Agreement shall be suspended until the Monthly License Fee is agreed and paid, and if none is agreed within a reasonable time in the discretion of the Licensor, the License Agreement shall be terminated by the Licensor. The Monthly License Fee shall be invoiced monthly in advance, and shall become due and payable within a reasonable time following any such invoice, but at all times prior to the commencement of the month of Use to which the Monthly Payment Fee payment applies.
2.2 The Licensee shall notify the Licensor in writing of any dispute with any invoice (along with all relevant details regarding the dispute) within 5 days from the date of invoice. Invoices for which no such timely notification is received shall be deemed accepted by the Licensee as true and correct. All undisputed late payments shall bear interest at the lesser of the rate of 1.5% per month or the highest rate permissible under applicable law, calculated daily and compounded monthly. In addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement or at law (which the Licensor does not waive by the exercise of any rights hereunder), the Licensor shall be entitled to suspend the Licensee's use of the Licensed Software indefinitely if the Licensee fails to pay any amount when due hereunder and such failure continues for 4 days from the due date.

6. Your Statutory Rights.
This Licence Agreement gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights that vary from one country to another. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, or certain kinds of limitations or exclusions of liability, so the limitations and exclusions included in this Licence Agreement may not apply to you. Other jurisdictions do allow limitations and exclusions subject to certain conditions. In such a case the limitations and exclusions included in this Licence Agreement shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of such applicable jurisdictions. If any part of the limitations or exclusions in this Licence Agreement is held to be void or unenforceable, such part shall be deemed to be deleted from this Licence Agreement and the remainder of the limitation or exclusion shall continue in full force and effect. Any rights that you may have as a consumer (i.e. a purchaser for private as opposed to business, academic or government use) are not affected.

The Licensor retains ownership of the Software, all subsequent copies of the Software and all intellectual property rights subsisting therein, regardless of the form in which such copies may exist (“Intellectual Property”). This Licence Agreement is not a sale of the original Software or any copies thereof.
8. Security.
The Software may contain technological measures designed to prevent unauthorized or illegal use of the Licensed Software by the Licensee. The Licensee agrees that the Licensor may use these measures to verify the Licensee's compliance with the terms of this Agreement and enforce the Licensor's rights, including all Intellectual Property Rights, in and to the Licensed Software. The Licensee acknowledges and agrees that the Licensor and its Representatives may collect, maintain, process and use diagnostic, technical, usage and related information, including information about the Licensee's computers, systems and software that the Licensor may gather periodically to improve the performance of the Software or develop maintenance releases.
