the Target Software, or modified versions thereof, into object or binary
form and distribute any number of units of the Target Software in this
form.
3.2 Protection and Security: Except in relation to object or binary

documentation, or other proprietary information to any other parties,
regardless of whether or not these were modified by the Licensee.
3.3 Transfers: The Licensee may not sublicense, lease, rent, lend nor distribute the Software
or any lawful copies thereof or otherwise transfer any of their rights under this Agreement to
any other party without the prior written consent of the Licensor, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld.
3.4 Term: This license is effective until terminated.
3.5 Termination: This license will terminate under the following conditions:
a) Licensee files a bankruptcy petition or enters into an agreement to assign its assets for
the benefit of creditors; or

If termination of this license occurs, Licensee must cease all use of the Software and

documentation. Upon termination, there will be no refund of any monies paid by Licensee.
Furthermore, Licensee must certify in writing to Licensor that Licensee no longer possesses
or is using any of the Licensor's software or documentation to develop new Target Software.
This termination clause does not require the return of binaries or object code shipped by
Licensee prior to license termination.
4. No Warranty
This software is provided by the Licensor as is and any express or implied
warranties, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement of
intellectual property rights, except as stated in section 5, are disclaimed.
The Licensor does not warrant that the Software will meet the Licensee's
requirements or that operation of the Software will be uninterrupted or that
the Software will be error-free.
5. Intellectual Property Rights
5.1 The intellectual property rights in any eCosPro licensed code shall
remain vested in the Licensor.
5.2 In the event any eCosPro licensed code infringes a third party's
intellectual property rights, Licensor undertakes to either: (i) replace or
modify the affected code so that it would not be infringing anymore; or
(ii) obtain at Licensor's expense a license of use for Licensee having the
same scope that the license granted under this agreement
5.3 The Licensor will indemnify the Licensee against any loss or damage
suffered or incurred by the Licensee as a result of any claim that the use
or possession by the Licensee in accordance with this agreement of any
eCosPro licensed code supplied by the Licensor infringes the intellectual
property rights of any third party.
6. Disclaimer of Damages
Some states and countries, including member countries of the European economic area,
do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential
damages so the below limitation or exclusion may not apply to the Licensee.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and regardless of whether any
remedy set forth herein fails of its essential purpose, in no event will the Licensor be
liable to the Licensee for any special, consequential, indirect or similar damages,
including any lost profits or lost data arising out of the use or inability to use the
software even if the Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
7. General
This License is governed by English law. Both the Licensor and the Licensee submit to
the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts in relation to any dispute concerning
this agreement but the Licensor is also entitled to apply to any court worldwide for
injunctive and other remedies in order to protect or enforce its Intellectual Property
Rights.
