Conditioned upon compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Studentpad Limited and any of its subsidiaries, grants to Customer a nonexclusive and non-transferable licence to use, for Customer’s internal business purposes, the Software and the Documentation for which Customer has paid the required licence fees. ‘Documentation’ means written or electronic information (whether contained in user or technical manuals, training materials, specifications or otherwise) specifically pertaining to the Software and made available by Studentpad Limited with the Software in any manner (including on CD-Rom or on-line).

Customer’s licence to use the Software shall be limited to, and Customer shall not use the Software in excess of, a single hardware chassis or agreed hardware installation as set forth in the applicable Purchase Order or on other hardware, which has been accepted by Studentpad Limited, and for which the Customer has paid to Studentpad Limited the required licence fee. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Documentation, Customer shall use the Software solely as embedded in, for execution on, or (where the applicable documentation permits installation on non-Studentpad Limited Advert) for communication with Studentpad Limited Advert owned or leased by the Customer and used for the Customer’s internal business purposes.

GENERAL LIMITATIONS

This is a licence, not a transfer of title, to the Software and Documentation, and Studentpad Limited retains ownership of all copies of the Software and Documentation. Customer acknowledges that the Software and Documentation contain trade secrets of Studentpad Limited, its suppliers or licensors, including but not limited to the specific internal design and structure of individual programmes and associated interface information. Accordingly, except as otherwise expressly provided under this Agreement, Customer shall have no right, and Customer specifically agrees not to:

  1. transfer, assign     or sublicense its licence rights to any other person or entity, or use the     Software on unauthorised Advert;
  2. make error     corrections to or otherwise modify or adapt the Software or create     derivative works based upon the Software, or permit third parties to do     the same;
  3. reverse engineer     or decompile, decrypt, disassemble or otherwise reduce the Software to     human-readable form;
  4. use or permit the     Software to be used to perform services for third parties, whether on a     service bureau or time sharing basis or otherwise, without the express     written authorisation of Studentpad Limited ; or
  5. disclose,     provide, or otherwise make available trade secrets contained within the     Software and Documentation in any form to any third party without the     prior written consent of Studentpad Limited.

Customer shall implement reasonable security measures to protect such trade secrets. To the extent required by law, and at Customer’s written request, Studentpad Limited shall provide Customer with the interface information needed to achieve interoperability between the Software and another independently created programme, on payment of Studentpad Limited’s applicable fee, if any. Customer shall observe strict obligations of confidentiality with respect to such information and shall use such information in compliance with any applicable terms and conditions upon which Studentpad Limited makes such information available.

SOFTWARE, UPGRADES AND ADDITIONAL COPIES

For purposes of this Agreement, ‘Software’ shall include (and the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to) any computer programmes, as provided to Customer by Studentpad Limited or an authorised Studentpad Limited reseller, and any upgrades, updates, bug fixes or modified versions thereto (collectively, ‘Upgrades’) or backup copies of the Software licensed or provided to Customer by Studentpad Limited or an authorised Studentpad Limited reseller. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:

  1. Customer has no     licence or right to use any additional copies or upgrades unless Customer,     at the time of acquiring such a copy or upgrade, already holds a valid     licence to the original software and has paid the applicable fee for the     upgrade or additional copies;
  2. The making and     use of additional copies is limited to necessary backup purposes only.

PROPRIETARY NOTICES

Customer agrees to maintain and reproduce all copyright and other proprietary notices on all copies, in any form, of the Software in the same form and manner that such copyright and other proprietary notices are included on the Software. Except as expressly authorised in this Agreement, Customer shall not make any copies or duplicates of any Software without the prior written permission of Studentpad Limited.

TERM AND TERMINATION

This Agreement and the licence granted herein shall remain effective until terminated. Customer may terminate this Agreement and the licence at any time by destroying all copies of Software and any Documentation. Customer’s rights under this Agreement will terminate immediately without notice from Studentpad Limited if Customer fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement. Upon termination, Customer shall destroy all copies of Software and Documentation in its possession or control. All confidentiality obligations of Customer and all limitations of liability and disclaimers and restrictions of warranty shall survive termination of this Agreement. In addition, the provisions of the section titled ‘General Terms Applicable to the Limited Warranty Statement and End User Licence’ shall survive termination of this Agreement.

GENERAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO THE LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT AND END USER LICENCE DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITIES

Regardless whether any remedy set forth herein fails of its essential purpose or otherwise, in no event will Studentpad Limited or its suppliers be liable for any lost revenue, profit, or lost or damaged data, business interruption, loss of capital, or for special, indirect, consequential, incidental, or punitive damages however caused and regardless of the theory of liability or whether arising out of the use of or the inability to use software or otherwise and even if Studentpad Limited or its suppliers or licensors have been advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event shall Studentpad Limited ’s or its suppliers’ or licensors’ liability to Customer, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of warranty, or otherwise, exceed the price paid by Customer for the Software that gave rise to the claim or if the Software is part of another Product, the price paid for such other Product. Customer agrees that the limitations of liability and disclaimers set forth herein will apply regardless of whether Customer has accepted the Software or any other product or service delivered by Studentpad Limited. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Studentpad Limited has set its prices and entered into this Agreement in reliance upon the disclaimers of warranty and the limitations of liability set forth herein, that the same reflect an allocation of risk between the parties (including the risk that a contract remedy may fail of its essential purpose and cause consequential loss), and that the same form an essential basis of the bargain between the parties.

JURISDICTION

The conditions of the granting a Licence under this agreement are covered by the laws of the United Kingdom and in particular by the Copyright, Designs and Patent Act 1988 and Schedule 5 paragraph 1 of the (United Kingdom) Value Added Tax Act, Studentpad Limited being a company established, registered and trading from the United Kingdom. The place of supply of the sale of such licences, and the place of their sale, is as defined by the latter act. If any portion hereof is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the licence of the Software and Documentation and supersedes any conflicting or additional terms contained in any purchase order or elsewhere, all of which terms are excluded.

LIMITED WARRANTY

Subject to the limitations and conditions set forth herein, Studentpad Limited warrants that commencing from the date of this Agreement and continuing for the Licence Period that the Software substantially conforms to the Documentation.

Studentpad Limited or the party supplying the Software to Customer may, at its option, require return of the Software as a condition to the remedy. In no event does Studentpad Limited warrant that the Software is error free or that Customer will be able to operate the Software without problems or interruptions. In addition, due to the continual development of new techniques for intruding upon and attacking networks, Studentpad Limited does not warrant that the Software or any Advert, system or network on which the Software is used will be free of vulnerability to intrusion or attack.
