(h) "Trial Version" means a version of the Software, so identified, to be used only to review, demonstrate and evaluate the Software for a limited time period. The Trial Version may have limited features, and will cease operating after a predetermined amount of time due to an internal mechanism within the Software.

2. GRANT OF LICENSE
The licenses granted in this Section 2 are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this EULA:

(a) You may install and use the Software on a single computer; OR install and store the Software on a storage device, such as a network server, used only to install the Software on your other computers over an internal network, provided you have a license for each separate computer on which the Software is installed and run. A license for the Software may not be shared, installed or used concurrently on different computers.

(b) If the Software is a Network Version, then you may install the Software at multiple physical addresses and for any number of computers on your WAN (Wide Area Network), and the Software may be used concurrently on different computers, connected to the WAN, up to the maximum number of floating seats licensed. WAN licenses are restricted to be used within one country only, unless otherwise explicitly granted by EQUA.

(c) For Network Versions, a License Manager has to be installed and activated on a (physical or virtual) server that can be reached by all client computers running the Software. It is not possible to move the License Manager, and the licenses, to another physical or virtual server, due to e.g. load balancing. Doing this will trigger the cloning warning and the licenses will be automatically deactivated. All reactivation costs due to cloning will be held by the customer.

(d) If the Software is a Free Version, you may install and use the Software concurrently on any number of your computers.

(e) If the Software is both a Free Version and a Cloud Version, you may use the Software for unlimited use, as long as the terms in Section 3 are fulfilled.

(f) If the Software is a Trial Version, then you may install and use the Software on a single computer, and for non- commercial use only. The Trial Version is for a limited time period only, as specified in the delivery notice. If no such limit is specified, the time limit is thirty (30) days, or as otherwise authorized in writing by EQUA or its Affiliates.

(g) You may make one copy of the Software in machine-readable form solely for backup purposes. You must reproduce on any such copy all copyright notices and any other proprietary legends on the original copy of the Software. You may not sell or transfer any copy of the Software made for backup purposes.

(h) You agree that EQUA may audit your use of the Software for compliance with these terms at any time, upon reasonable notice. In the event that such audit reveals any use of the Software by you other than in full compliance with the terms of this Agreement, you shall reimburse EQUA for all reasonable expenses related to such audit in addition to any other liabilities you may incur as a result of such non-compliance.

(i) Your license rights under this EULA are non-exclusive.

(j) Mandatory Product Activation. The license rights granted under this Agreement may be limited unless you supply information required to activate your licensed copy in the manner described during the setup sequence of the Software. You may need to activate the Software through the use of the Internet, e-mail or telephone; toll charges may apply. There are technological measures in this Software that are designed to prevent unlicensed or illegal use of the Software. You agree that EQUA may use those measures and you agree to follow any requirements regarding such technological measures. You may also need to reactivate the Software if you modify your computer hardware or alter the Software. Product activation is based on the exchange of information between your computer and EQUA. None of this information contains personally identifiable information nor can they be used to identify any personal information about you or any characteristics of your computer configuration.

3. CLOUD VERSION
(a) A high speed internet connection is required for proper transmission of and access to the Cloud Version. You are responsible for procuring and maintaining the network connections that connect your network to the Cloud Version, including, but not limited to, "browser" software that supports protocols used by third parties, including Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol or other protocols accepted by third parties and to follow procedures for accessing services that support such protocols.

(b) To use the Cloud Version you must register a cloud account via an Affiliate website and provide required user information.

(c) When registering an account you must provide a valid e-mail address. You acknowledge and agree that you will provide true, accurate, current, and complete information as requested when registering an account.

(f) EQUA may share your registration information with its Affiliates and third parties to handle and deliver certain online activities necessary to operate EQUA's businesses (e.g. process orders and payments for the Software).

(g) EQUA reserves the right to terminate inactive Cloud Version sessions, or Cloud Version sessions that consume more computer resources (processor, memory, disk) than normal, at its sole discretion and without prior notification, which might result in lost data and results.

(h) EQUA and its Affiliates reserve the right to refuse licensing the Cloud Version, its service, disable or block accounts, or cancel orders in their sole discretion for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, if you provide registration information which is false, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, or if you are violating any other terms in this agreement.

(i) Please note that your use of the Software constitutes your acceptance of EQUA's Privacy Policy (http://www.equa.se/en/privacy-policy).

6. OWNERSHIP AND RIGHTS
(a) The foregoing license gives you limited license to use the Software. EQUA retains all right, title and interest, including all copyright and intellectual property rights, in and to, the Software (as an independent work and as an underlying work serving as a basis for any application you may develop), and all copies thereof. All rights not specifically granted in this EULA, including Federal and International Copyrights, are reserved by EQUA.

(b) EQUA warrants that, to the best of its knowledge and information, it holds all right, title and interest in and to the Software and any and all underlying codes or other intellectual property contained within the Software.

You agree to take all reasonable measures to protect EQUA's intellectual property rights and to abide by all applicable laws.

7. LIMITED WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER
(a) Except with respect to any Sample Application Code and Trial Version of the Software, EQUA warrants that, for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of delivery (as evidenced by a copy of your receipt): (i) when used with a recommended hardware configuration, the Software will perform in substantial conformance with the documentation supplied with the Software; and (ii) the physical media on which the Software may be furnished will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use.

(b) EQUA provides no remedies or warranties, whether express or implied, for any sample application code and trial version of the software. Any sample application code and trial version of the software are provided "AS IS".

(c) Except as set forth in the foregoing limited warranty with respect to software other than any sample application code and trial version, EQUA and its suppliers disclaim all other warranties and representations, whether express, implied, or otherwise, including the warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Also, there is no warranty of non-infringement and title or quiet enjoyment. EQUA does not warrant that the Software is error-free or will operate without interruption. No rights or remedies referred to in article 2a of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) will be conferred on you unless expressly granted herein.

(d) If applicable law requires any warranties with respect to the software, all such warranties are limited in duration to ninety (90) days from the date of delivery.

(e) No oral or written information or advice given by EQUA, its dealers, distributors, agents or employees shall create a warranty or in any way increase the scope of any warranty provided herein.

(f) Some countries and states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other legal rights that vary from country to country, and from state to state.

8. EXCLUSIVE REMEDY
Your exclusive remedy under the preceding is to return the Software to the place you acquired it, with a copy of your receipt and a description of the problem. Provided that any non-compliance with the above warranty is reported in writing to EQUA no more than ninety (90) days following delivery to you, EQUA will use reasonable commercial efforts to supply you with a replacement copy of the Software that substantially conforms to the documentation, provide a replacement for defective media, or refund to you your purchase price for the Software, at its option. EQUA shall have no responsibility if the Software has been altered in any way, if the media has been damaged by misuse, accident, abuse, modification or misapplication, or if the failure arises out of use of the Software with other than a recommended hardware configuration. Any such misuse, accident, abuse, modification or misapplication of the Software will void the warranty above. This remedy is the sole and exclusive remedy available to you for breach of express or implied warranties with respect to the software and related documentation.

9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
(a) Neither EQUA nor its suppliers shall be liable to you or any third party for any indirect, special, incidental, punitive, cover or consequential damages (including, but not limited to, damages for the inability to use equipment or access data, loss of business, loss of profits, business interruption or the like), arising out of the use of, or inability to use, the Software and based on any theory of liability including breach of contract, breach of warranty, tort (including negligence), product liability or otherwise, even if EQUA or its representatives have been advised of the possibility of such damages and even if a remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

(b) EQUA's total liability to you for actual damages for any cause whatsoever will be limited to the amount paid by you for the software that caused such damage.

(c) Some countries and states do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you and you may also have other legal rights that vary from country to country, and from state to state.

(d) The foregoing limitations on liability are intended to apply to the warranties and disclaimers above and all other aspects of this EULA.

10. BASIS OF BARGAIN
