PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY
END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT
This end user license agreement ("Agreement") is between you, either an
individual, or an entity, ("Licensee" or "you") and Four J's Development Tools
Ltd. ("Four J's").
BY RESPONDING "Yes" TO THE QUERY BELOW, LICENSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LICENSEE HAS
READ THIS AGREEMENT, UNDERSTANDS IT, AND AGREES TO BE BOUND BY IT. IF LICENSEE
DOES NOT AGREE TO ANY OF THE TERMS BELOW, FOUR J'S IS UNWILLING TO LICENSE THE
LICENSED SOFTWARE (AS DEFINED BELOW) TO LICENSEE, AND LICENSEE SHOULD CLICK ON
THE "REFUSE" BUTTON BELOW
1. DEFINITIONS. As used in this Agreement:
"Documentation" means the user manuals (in written or electronic
form) provided to Licensee along with the Licensed Software.
"Executable Code" means the fully compiled version of a software
program that can be executed by a computer and used by an end user without
further compilation.
"Licensed Software" means the software program or programs for which
Licensee has purchased a license (including, for Licensees of the "Class A"
products defined in Section 10.1 only, any runtime modules intended for
redistribution by Licensee (the Redistributables")), and any modified,
updated or enhanced versions of such programs that Four J's may provide to
Licensee pursuant to this Agreement or to a separate maintenance and
support agreement.
"Source Code" means the human-readable version of a software program
that can be compiled into Executable Code.
2. LICENSE GRANTS. Subject to Licensee's full compliance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, Four J's grants to Licensee (i) a non-
exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Licensed Software (in
Executable Code form only) in accordance with the Documentation, and to
make a single copy of the Licensed Software solely for backup or archival
purposes; and (ii) (for Licensees of the "Class A" products defined in
Section 10.1 only) a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use,
reproduce and distribute (solely to end users who have purchased
appropriate runtime licenses from Four J's) the Redistributables (in
Executable Code form only) solely as part of an application developed by
Licensee. Licensee may not distribute Redistributables on a standalone
basis. The Licensed Software may only be used in accordance with the
Documentation. Four J's grants to Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Documentation. When applicable, Four J's
will communicate a new activation key if Licensee certifies in writing that
Licensee must install the Licensed Software on a new computer because of
update, theft, or breakdown. This license is granted to Licensee only for
the number of concurrent users and/or CPU's specified in a valid purchase
order accepted by Four J's. For the avoidance of doubt, each CPU running in
a single machine of multiple CPU's shall be counted for purposes of
determining the number of CPU licenses required for that machine.
3. RESTRICTIONS ON USE. Licensee acknowledges that the Licensed Software
and its structure, sequence, organization and Source Code constitute
valuable trade secrets of Four J's and/or its suppliers. Accordingly,
except as specifically authorized herein, Licensee agrees not to (a)
modify, adapt, alter, translate, or create derivative works from the
Licensed Software; (b) merge the Licensed Software with other software; (c)
sublicense, lease, rent, loan, disclose, or otherwise transfer or allow use
of the Licensed Software to or by any third party, including outsourcing
personnel, (d) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise
attempt to derive the Source Code of the Licensed Software; or (e)
otherwise use or copy the Licensed Software. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, decompiling the Licensed Software is not permitted to the extent
the laws of Licensee's jurisdiction give Licensee the right to do so to
obtain information necessary to render the Licensed Software interoperable
with other software; provided, however, that Licensee must first request
such information from Four J's and Four J's may, in its discretion, either
provide such information to Licensee or impose reasonable conditions,
including a reasonable fee, on such use of the Licensed Software to ensure
that Four J's' and its suppliers' proprietary rights in the Licensed
Software are protected. Licensee agrees not to use the Licensed Software
to develop or market a product similar or competitive with the Licensed
Product.
4. INSTALLATION AND ACCEPTANCE. Licensee will be responsible for installing
the Licensed Software on its computers as permitted under this Agreement.
The Licensed Software will be deemed accepted upon delivery. If you are
installing the Licensed Software on behalf of the Licensee listed on a
purchase order, such Licensee must be the party clicking through the "I
Accept" button and agreeing to the terms of this Agreement. If you do so on
behalf of the Licensee, you and/or your organization shall be jointly bound
by the terms of this Agreement and responsible for any breach hereof.
5. WARRANTIES.
1. Performance. (a) For a period of sixty (60) days after shipment of
the Licensed Software (other than the "Class B" products defined in
Section 10.2) to Licensee (the "Software Warranty Period"), Four J's
warrants that the Licensed Software, when used as delivered by Four
J's and as permitted under this Agreement and in accordance with the
Documentation (including use on a computer hardware and operating
system platform supported by Four J's) will operate substantially as
described in the Documentation. (b) for the "Class B" products
defined in Section 10.2, Four J's makes on warranties, express,
implied or statutory. THE "CLASS B" PRODUCTS DEFINED ON SECTION 10.2
ARE PROVIDED ON AN AS IS BASIS. (c) Four J's does not warrant the
Licensee's use of the Licensed Software will be error free or
uninterrupted. Four J's, will at its own expense and as its sole
obligation and Licensee's exclusive remedy for any breach of the
above warranty, use commercially reasonable efforts to correct or
provide a workaround for any reproducible error in the Licensed
Software reported to Four J's by Licensee in writing during the
Software Warranty Period or, if Four J's determines that it is unable
to correct the error or provide a workaround Four J's will refund to
Licensee the license fee paid for the Licensed Software, in which
case this Agreement and Licensee's right to use the Licensed Software
will be terminated. Any such error correction or workaround provided
to Licensee will not extend the original Software Warranty Period.
2. Disclaimers. THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES IN THIS SECTION 5 ARE IN LIEU
OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, REGARDING
THE LICENSED SOFTWARE, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OR MERCHANTABILITY,
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF
THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. Because some jurisdictions do not permit the
exclusion of implied warranties, this disclaimer may not apply to
you. LICENSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS RELIED ON NO WARRANTIES OTHER
THAN THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT NO WARRANTIES
ARE MADE BY ANY OF FOUR J'S SUPPLIERS. This warranty gives you
specific rights, and your may also have other rights that vary by
jurisdiction.
6. INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS. Four J's will defend at its own expense any action
against Licensee brought by a third party to the extent that the action is
based upon a claim that the Licensed Software infringes any U.S. copyrights
or misappropriates any trade secrets recognized as such under the Uniform
Trade Secret law, and Four J's will pay those costs and damages finally
awarded against Licensee in any such action that are specifically
attributable to such claim or those costs and damages agreed to in a
monetary settlement of such action. The foregoing obligations are
conditioned on Licensee notifying Four J's promptly in writing of such
action, Licensee giving Four J's sole control of the defense thereof and
any related settlement negotiations, and Licensee cooperating and, at Four
J's request and expense, assisting in such defense. If the Licensed
Software becomes, or in Four J's opinion is likely to become, the subject
of an infringement claim, Four J's may, at its option and expense, either
(a) procure for Licensee the right to continue using the Licensed Software,
(b) replace or modify the Licensed Software so that it becomes non-
infringing, or (c) accept return of the Licensed Software and give Licensee
a refund for the License Fees paid by Licensee less a reasonable allowance
for the period of time Licensee has used the Licensed Software.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Four J's will have no obligation under this
Section 6 or otherwise with respect to any infringement claim based upon
(i) any use of the Licensed Software not in accordance with this Agreement
or for purposes no intended by Four J's, (ii) any use of the Licensed
Software in combination with other products, equipment, software, or data
not supplied by Four J's to the extent such combination is the cause of any
claim, (iii) any use of any release of the Licensed Software other than the
most current release made available to Licensee, or (iv) any modification
of the Licensed Software by any person other than Four J's. THIS SECTION 6
STATES FOUR J'S ENTIRE LIABILITY AND LICENSEE'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY
FOR INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS AND ACTIONS.
7. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT WILL FOUR J'S BE LIABLE FOR ANY
CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SEPCIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES,
INCLUDING ANY LOST DATA AND LOST PROFITS, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion
may not apply to you. FOUR J'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY IN CONNECITON
WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND THE LICENSED SOFTWARE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT
OR OTHERWISE, WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF FEES PAID TO FOUR J'S
HEREUNDER. THE LICENSED SOFTWARE IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN CONNECTION WITH
ANY NUCLEAR, AVIATION, MASS TRANSIT OR MEDICAL APPLICATION OR ANY OTHER
INHERENTLY DANGEROUS APPLICATION THAT COULD RESULT IN DEATH, PERSONAL
INJURY, CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE OR MASS DESTRUCTION, AND LICENSEE AGREES THAT
FOUR J'S WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY OF ANY NATURE AS A RESULT OF ANY SUCH USE
OF THE LICENSED SOFTWARE. LICENSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FEES PAID
HEREUNDER REFLECT THE ALLOCATION OF RISK SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND
THAT FOUR J'S WOULD NOT ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT WITHOUT THESE LIMITATIONS
ON ITS LIABILITY, IN ADDITION, LICENSEE DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY OF ANY KIND
OF FOUR J'S SUPPLIERS.
8. TERM AND TERMINATION
1. Term. The term of this Agreement will begin on the Effective Date
and will continue indefinitely unless terminated pursuant to Section
8.2.
2. Termination. Licensee may terminate this Agreement at any time,
with or without cause, upon written notice to Four J's. This
Agreement will automatically terminate if (a) Licensee breaches any
provision in Section 3, or (b) Licensee breaches any other provision
of this Agreement and does not cure the breach within thirty (30)
days after receiving written notice thereof from Four J's.
3. Effects of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement for any
reason, (i) all license rights granted in this Agreement will
immediately cease to exist, (ii) Licensee must promptly discontinue
all use of the Licensed Software, erase all copies of the Licensed

or control and certify in writing to Four J's that it has fully
complied with these requirements, and (iii) (for Licensees of the
"Class A" products defined in Section 10.1 only) Licensee must
promptly discontinue the use, reproduction, and distribution of the
Redistributables. Section 1 ("Definitions"), 3 ("Restrictions on
Use"), 5 ("Warranties"), 7 ("Limitation of Liability"), 8.3 ("Effects
of Termination"), and 9 ("General") will survive termination of this
Agreement for any reason.

all worldwide intellectual property rights therein, are the exclusive
property of Four J's and its suppliers. All rights in and to the
Licensed Software not expressly granted to Licensee in this Agreement
are reserved by Four J's and its suppliers. Without limiting the
foregoing, no license to use the trademarks or trade names of Four
J's or its suppliers is granted hereby. Nothing in this Agreement
will be deemed t o grant, by implication, estoppel or otherwise, a
license under any of Four J's' existing or future patents; Four J's
agrees that it will not assert any of its rights under such patents
against Licensee based upon the exercise by Licensee of the licenses
granted in Section 2. Licensee will not remove, alter, or obscure any
proprietary notices (including copyright notices) of Four J's or its
suppliers on the Licensed Software or the Documentation.
2. No Maintenance Support. Four J's is not required to provide any
maintenance or support services to any party under this Agreement.
3. Compliance with Laws. Licensee will comply with all applicable
export and import control laws and regulations in its use of the
Licensed Software and, in particular, Licensee will not export or re-
export the Licensed Software without all required United States and
foreign government licenses. Licensee will defend, indemnify, and
hold harmless Four J's from and against any violation of such laws or
regulations by Licensee or any of its agents, officers, directors, or
employees.
4. Assignments. Licensee may not assign or transfer, by operation of
law or otherwise, any of its rights or obligations under this
Agreement (including its licenses with respect to the Licensed
Software) to any third party without Four J's' prior written consent
except pursuant to a merger, sale, acquisition, corporate
reorganization or other change of control event of Licensee in its
entirety. Any attempted assignment or transfer in violation of the
foregoing will be void. Four J's may transfer or assign this
Agreement in connection with any merger, sale, acquisition,
consolidation, corporate reorganization or change of control event,
including sale of any or all of the assets to which the Agreement
might relate.
5. U.S. Government End Users. If Licensee is a branch or agency of
the United States Government, the following provision applies. The
Licensed Software 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 (SEPT 1995) and are
provided to the Government (i) for acquisition by or on behalf of
civilian agencies, consistent with the policy set forth in 48 C.F.R.
12.212; or (ii) 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 (JUN 1995) and 27.7202-3 (JUN 1995).
6. Notices. All notices, consents and approvals under this Agreement
must be delivered in writing by courier, by electronic facsimile
(fax), or by certified or registered mail, (postage prepaid and
return receipt requested) to the other party, and will be effective
upon receipt or three (3) business days after being deposited in the
mail as required above, whichever occurs sooner.
7. Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement will be governed by the
laws California, as such laws apply to contracts between California
residents to be performed entirely within California. The United
Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods
does not apply to this Agreement. You agree that any action or
proceeding arising from or relating to this Agreement brought by you
must be brought in a court in California, and each party irrevocably
submits to the jurisdiction and venue of any such court in any such
action or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) you consent
to entry and execution of any California judgment against you in any
jurisdiction where you conduct or maintain business or assets; and,
(ii) you agree that Four J's may bring an action against you in any
jurisdiction it elects for the purpose of enforcing its rights under
this Agreement and/or related to its intellectual property rights.
8. Remedies. Except as provided in Sections 5 and 6, the parties'
rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative. Licensee
acknowledges that the Licensed Software contains valuable trade
secrets and proprietary information of Four J's, that any actual or
threatened breach of Section 3 will constitute immediate, irreparable
harm to Four J's for which monetary damages would be an inadequate
remedy, and that injunctive relief is any appropriate remedy for such
breach. If any legal action is brought to enforce this Agreement, the
prevailing party will be entitled to receive its attorney's fees,
court costs and other collection expenses, in addition to any other
relief it may receive.
9. Miscellaneous. All waivers must be in writing. Any waiver or
failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion
will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such
provision on any other occasion. If any provision of this Agreement
is unenforceable, such provision will be changed and interpreted to
accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent
possible under applicable law and the remaining provisions will
continue in full force and effect. The headings of sections of this
Agreement are for convenience and are not to be used in interpreting
this Agreement. As used in this Agreement the word "including" means
"including but not limited to." This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties regarding the subject hereof and
supercedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings,
and communication, whether written or oral. This Agreement may be
amended only by a written document originally signed in ink by both
parties. The terms on any purchase order or similar document
submitted by Licensee to Four J's will have no effect.
