No right to create a copyrightable work, whether joint or unitary, is granted or implied; this includes works that modify (even for purposes of error correction), adapt, or translate the Product or create derivative works, compilations, or collective works therefrom, except as necessary to configure the Product using the menus, options and tools provided for such purposes and contained in the Product. You shall not attempt to circumvent any user limits or other license, timing or use restrictions that are built in to the Products. Certain items of software code provided along with the Products are subject to “open source” licenses (“Third Party Code”) provided with the Products. The Third Party Code is not subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, except for Sections 8 and 9 of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement limits Customer’s rights under, or grants Customer rights that supersede the terms and conditions of any applicable license for the Third Party Code, including any rights to copy, modify or distribute Third Party Code under the applicable license. You are hereby notified that the Products may contain time-out devices, counter devices, and/or other devices intended to ensure the limits of a particular license will not be exceeded (“Limiting Devices”).

You will not remove or in any manner alter or obscure the copyright, trademark, and other proprietary rights notices of Actian and its licensors appearing on the Server Software or documentation. You will have no right to register or seek to register any of Actian’s or its licensors’ trademarks, service marks, or trade names, or add any other notices or markings to the Server Software, Client Software or Documentation.

4. RESTRICTIONS

4.1 No Rental, No Commercial Hosting; Other Limitations. Except as expressly authorized in this Agreement, You will not use, rent, lease, sublicense, distribute, transfer, copy, reproduce, display, modify, create derivative works of, time share or dispose of the Software or Documentation or any part thereof. You may use the Software and documentation solely for Your internal business purposes in accordance with the Documentation.

4.2 Except with the express written consent of Actian, or as expressly permitted in Section 2 with respect to Vx Server Edition, You may not use the Server Software for multiplexing or to (1) permit third-party access to or use of the Server Software or Client Server, or use, access, or allow access to the Server Software or Client Server in any way to benefit third parties, including, but not limited to operating the Server Edition in a service bureau, SaaS, ASP, or other similar hosted environment or (2) use a Server Software or Client Server to provide or operate hosting or Application Service Provider (ASP) services, Software as a Service, service bureau, marketing, training, outsourcing services, or consulting services, or any other commercial service related to the Server Edition. If You received this Server Software or Client Software bundled with or embedded with any other software application (e.g., from an Authorized Reseller or OEM of Actian), You may only use the Server Software or Client Software with such software application.

4.3 Protection of Software. You will take all reasonable steps to protect the Software and Documentation from unauthorized copying or use. The Server Software and Client Software source code represents and embodies trade secrets of Actian or its licensors. The source code and embodied trade secrets are not licensed to You and any modification or addition thereto, or deletion therefrom is strictly prohibited. You will not disassemble, decompile, or otherwise reverse engineer the Server Software or Client Software, except and only to the extent that applicable law expressly permits such actions, despite this limitation. You may not develop software using any components within the Server Software or Client Software.

5. AUTHORIZATION; VALIDATION. In order to use the Server Software, You will need to obtain authorization to use the Server Software. “Authorization” associates the use of the Server Software with a specific Server. After Authorization, Actian may verify that use of the Server Software has been authorized and that the Server Software is properly licensed (“Validation”). Validation may re-occur on a periodic basis, when the Server Software is restarted and may also occur during Server Software installation, un-installation, updates and license management activities. In most instances where Actian is unable to validate the Server Software, You will have notice (via an alert or log in the Server Software) before any such suspension or termination in order to permit You to obtain a valid license for the Server Software. Failure by Actian to suspend or terminate Your use of the Server Software despite having an invalid license does not constitute a waiver by Actian of any rights or remedies Actian may have for Your unauthorized use of the Server Software. In the event You uninstall the Server Software and reinstall on a different Server during the transfer itself or during a subsequent upgrade process You may be required to repeat on-line Authorization and/or Validation of Your Server Software. For purposes of clarification, except as may be permitted pursuant to a Multi-Server License, You may not copy the Server Software and install such additional copy on a Server without the payment of additional license fees. During Authorization and any subsequent Validation, the Server Software will send information about the Server Software and Server to Actian. The information sent to Actian includes, but is not limited to, (i) product authorization key, (ii) information derived from the hardware configuration of the Server, such as host name, hard drive serial number, NIC card MAC addresses, BIOS firmware, CPU type and OS type, and (iii) information about existing or past Actian installations and items of a similar nature. For more information about what is sent during Server Software authorization and validation, see http://www.Actian.com/database. By using the Server Software and Documentation, You consent to the transmission of this information during Server Software Authorization and/or Validation.

6. SUPPORT AND ADDITIONAL SERVICES.

6.1 Support Services. The details of the Support Services can be found at http://supportservices.actian.com/support-services/support#policy.We may suspend or terminate Support Services for all Product(s) in the event that You do not pay fees for Support Services when due.

10. TERM AND TERMINATION. This Agreement is effective from the date You download or install the Server Software and will remain in force until terminated.

Confidential Information shall remain the sole property of the Discloser and shall not be disclosed to any third party (except, solely to employees, attorneys, consultants, and subsidiaries, who need to know and are bound by a written agreement with Recipient to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in a manner consistent with this Agreement) or used except as permitted under this Agreement. Confidential Information shall not include any information that: (i) is or becomes publicly known without the Recipient’s breach of any obligations owed to the Discloser; (ii) is rightfully disclosed to the Recipient from a source other than the Discloser without a breach of an obligation of confidentiality; or (iii) is independently developed by the Recipient without any access to the Discloser’s Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, We may disclose that You are Our customer.

Our audit shall be performed at Our sole expense; provided however, that if, as a result of Our audit, it is determined that You have underpaid Us by more than 5% of the amount owed during the period audited, then You shall bear the reasonable cost of Our audit.
