PELTARION SYNAPSE END-USER SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT Version 1.0.3.4, March 2008

PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY. YOU HAVE AGREED TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT BEFORE INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE.

This is a legal agreement between you and Peltarion Handelsbolag and its subsidiaries ("Peltarion"). This Agreement states the terms and conditions upon which Peltarion offers to license the software included with this installation together with all related documentation and accompanying items including, but not limited to, the executable programs, drivers, libraries and data files associated with such programs (collectively, the "Software").

LICENSE
  1. Grant of License The Software is licensed, not sold, to you for use only under the terms of this Agreement. This License Agreement is your proof of license to exercise the rights granted herein and must be retained by you. As between you and Peltarion (and, to the extent applicable, its licensors), Peltarion retains all title to and ownership of the Software and reserves all rights not expressly granted to you. Peltarion grants to you the right to use all or a portion of this Software provided that (a) the Software license has been purchased and paid for to Peltarion (Full Version) or the Software is a time-limited evaluation edition (Trial Version); (b) the Software may NOT be modified; (c) all copyright notices are maintained on the Software; and (d) the licensee/end-user agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
  2. Installation and use For Full Version:

    You may:
    a) install and use a copy of the Full Version Software on one personal computer or other device; and
    b) install an additional copy of the Full Version Software on a second, portable device for the exclusive use of the primary user of the first copy of the Software.

    For Trial Version:

    You may:
    a) install and use a copy of the Software for evaluation purposes only on one personal computer or other device. You may use the software for 30 days unless otherwise explicitly specified by Peltarion.

  3. Alternative rights for Storage/Network use As an alternative to section 2) for the Full Version, you may install a copy of the Software on a network storage device, such as a server computer, and allow one access device, such as a personal computer, to access and use that licensed copy of the Software over a private network. You must obtain a license to the Software for each additional device that accesses and uses the Software installed on the network storage device.
  4. License Grant for Remote Desktop You may use remote access technologies such as the Remote Desktop features in Microsoft Windows or NetMeeting to access and use your licensed copy of the Software, provided that only the primary user of the device hosting the remote desktop session accesses and uses the Software with a remote access device. These remote desktop rights do not permit you to use the Software on both the device hosting the remote desktop session and the access device at the same time.
  5. Deployed Software The Software includes functionality for generating and assembling object code (Deployed Software) that allows systems constructed in Synapse to be used in an external environment. Peltarion grants you limited right to reproduce and distribute the Deployed Software on a royalty free basis provided that it is accompanied by an actual application program which uses the Deployed Software, with the following conditions:

    You may not distribute the Deployed Software with an application or library that is a wrapper for the Deployed Software.

    You may not redistribute individual parts of the Deployed Software; if distributed, all parts of the Deployed Software must be included.

    You may not use Peltarions name, logo or trademarks to market your software product that uses the Deployed Software without Peltarions express written permission.

    You may not use the Deployed Software that can within reason be assumed to compete with Peltarions product range, without Peltarions express written permission.

    All rights except those defined in this section are limited or granted as defined in this license agreement.

  6. Copyright The Software is owned by Peltarion and/or its licensors, and is protected by Swedish, European Union and United States copyright laws and international treaty provisions. You may not remove the copyright notice from any copy of the Software or the Deployed Software or any copy of the written materials, if any, accompanying the Software.
  7. Archival Copys You may make one (1) archival copy of the machine-readable portion of the Full Version Software for backup purposes only in support of your use of the Software on a single computer, provided that you reproduce on the copy all copyright and other proprietary rights notices included on the originals of the Software.
  8. No Merger or Integration You may not merge any portion of the Software into, or integrate any portion of the Software with, any other program, other than described by section 5, except to the extent expressly permitted by the laws of the jurisdiction where you are located or as described in section 5. Any portion of the Software merged into or integrated with another program, if any, will continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and you must reproduce on the merged or integrated portion all copyright and other proprietary rights notices included on the originals of the Software.
  9. Transfer of License. You may not transfer your license of the Software or the Deployed Software to a third party.
  10. Limitations on Using, Copying, and Modifying the Software Except to the extent expressly permitted by this Agreement or by the laws of the European Union, you may not use, copy or modify the Software or the Deployed Software. Nor may you sub-license any of your rights under this Agreement.
  11. Software Updates If the software is updated, Peltarion reserves the right to introduce a new license agreement that governs the terms for the updated software.
  12. Decompiling, Disassembling, or Reverse Engineering. You acknowledge that the Software, including the Deployed Software contains trade secrets and other proprietary information of Peltarion and its licensors. Except to the extent expressly permitted by this Agreement or by the laws of the European Union, you may not decompile, disassemble or otherwise reverse engineer the Software or the Deployed Software, or engage in any other activities to obtain underlying information that is not visible to the user in connection with normal use of the Software.

    In particular, you agree not for any purpose to transmit the Software or display the Software's or Deployed Softwares object code on any computer screen or to make any hardcopy memory dumps of the Software's object code. If you believe you require information related to the interoperability of the Software or the Deployed Software with other programs, you shall not decompile or disassemble the Software to obtain such information, and you agree to request such information from Peltarion at the address listed below. Upon receiving such a request, Peltarion shall determine whether you require such information for a legitimate purpose and, if so, Peltarion will provide such information to you within a reasonable time and on reasonable conditions.

    In any event, you will notify Peltarion of any information derived from reverse engineering or such other activities, and the results thereof will constitute the confidential information of Peltarion that may be used only in connection with the Software or the Deployed Software.

  13. Academic license If the software has been purchased as an Academic License, use is only granted for research and education purposes at an accredited academic institution. No production, for profit or commercial use of the Software and the Deployed Software is allowed.

    Peltarion reserves the right to ask for (via email, mail or telephone) proof of academic status of the user. If proof has not been provided within fourteen (14) days after the request was made, Peltarion can without notice revoke the license.

TERMINATION The license granted to you is effective until terminated. You may terminate it at any time by destroying the Software (including any portions or copies thereof) currently in your possession or control. The license will also terminate automatically without any notice from Peltarion if you fail to comply with any term or condition of this Agreement. You agree upon any such termination to destroy the Software (including any portions or copies thereof). Upon termination, Peltarion may also enforce any and all rights provided by law. The provisions of this Agreement that protect the proprietary rights of Peltarion will continue in force after termination. For Trial Version Software, the license expires 14 days after installation, unless otherwise specified by Peltarion. On termination all copies of the Software must be destroyed. For the Trial Version Software this includes all Deployed Software.

NO WARRANTY ANY USE BY YOU OF THE SOFTWARE OR THE DEPLOYED SOFTWARE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE SOFTWARE OR THE DEPLOYED SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED FOR USE ONLY WITH PELTARION'S HARDWARE AND RELATED SOFTWARE. THE SOFTWARE AND THE DEPLOYED SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED FOR USE "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.

No distributor, dealer or any other entity or person is authorized to expand or alter this warranty or any other provisions of this Agreement. Peltarion does not warrant that the functions contained in the Software or the Deployed Software will meet your requirements or that the operation of the Software or the Deployed Software will be uninterrupted or error-free or free from malicious code. For purposes of this paragraph, "malicious code" means any program code designed to contaminate other computer programs or computer data, consume computer resources, modify, destroy, record, or transmit data, or in some other fashion usurp the normal operation of the computer, computer system, or computer network, including viruses, Trojan horses, droppers, worms, logic bombs, and the like.

Any representation, other than the warranties set forth in this Agreement, will not bind Peltarion.

Should the Software or the Deployed Software prove defective, you (and not Peltarion, or its distributors or dealers) assume the entire cost of all necessary servicing, repair or correction.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from country/state to country/state. Some countries/states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. Peltarion disclaims all warranties of any kind if the Software or the Deployed Software was customized, repackaged or altered in any way by any third party other than Peltarion.

NO LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES IN NO EVENT SHALL PELTARION OR ITS LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, INCIDENTAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY OR BODILY INJURY (INCLUDING DEATH) TO ANY PERSON CAUSED BY PELTARION'S NEGLIGENCE, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, OR OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS) ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THIS SOFTWARE, EVEN IF PELTARION OR ITS LICENSORS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. BECAUSE SOME STATES/ COUNTRIES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

INDEMNIFICATION BY YOU If you distribute the Software or the Deployed Software in violation of this Agreement, you hereby indemnify, hold harmless and defend Peltarion from and against any and all claims or lawsuits, including attorney's fees and costs that arise, result from or are connected with the use or distribution of the Software or the Deployed Software in violation of this Agreement.

**Further, Peltarion shall not be liable for the accuracy of any information provided by Peltarion or third-party technical support personnel, or any damages caused, either directly or indirectly, by acts taken or omissions made by you as a result of such technical support.

You assume full responsibility for the selection of the Software or the Deployed Software to achieve your intended results, and for the installation, use and results obtained from the Software or the Deployed Software.

Should the Software or the Deployed Software prove defective, you (and not Peltarion, or its distributors or dealers) assume the entire cost of any and all necessary servicing, repair or correction.**
