or
-
if the Software Derivatives were originally conveyed
to you in the manner described in Section

UNLESS OTHERWISE SEPARATELY UNDERTAKEN BY THE Licensor, TO THE
EXTENT POSSIBLE, THE Licensor OFFERS THE Software AND Software

REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND CONCERNING THE
Software AND Software Derivatives, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED,
STATUTORY, OR OTHER. THIS INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER
DEFECTS, ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER
OR NOT KNOWN OR DISCOVERABLE, OR THAT THE Software OR Software

THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE Software OR Software

TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, IN NO EVENT WILL THE Licensor BE LIABLE

NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE FOR ANY DIRECT, SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR OTHER LOSSES,
COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS License OR USE
OF THE Software or Software Derivatives, EVEN IF THE Licensor
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES, COSTS,
EXPENSES, OR DAMAGES. WHERE A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS NOT
ALLOWED IN FULL OR IN PART, THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO
You.
-
The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided
above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent
possible, most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and
waiver of all liability.
6. Intellectual Property Rights
The intellectual property rights in the Software and
Software Derivatives shall remain vested in the Licensor.
-
This License applies for the term of the Licensed Rights
licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with
this License, then Your rights under this License
terminate automatically.
Where Your right to use the Software or Software Derivatives
has terminated under Section 7.a, it reinstates:
-
automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided
it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the
violation if the Licensor has not expressly advised
You of the violation; or
-
upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.
For the avoidance of doubt:
-
express reinstatement by the Licensor is required when
You have been notified by the Licensor of
non-compliance of the License;
and
-
this Section 7.b does not affect any
right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your
violations of this License.
-
For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the
Software or Software Derivatives under separate terms or
conditions, such as a Commercial License, or stop distributing
the Software or Software Derivatives at any time; however,
doing so will not terminate this License.
-
Sections 2, 5,
6, 7,
8 and 9 survive
termination of this License.

You submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts
in relation to any dispute concerning this License 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 or this License.
-
To the extent possible, if any provision of this license; is
deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the
minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision
cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this License
without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and
conditions.
-
No term or condition of this License will be waived and no
failure to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the
Licensor.
-

as a limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities
that apply to the Licensor or You, including from the legal
processes of any jurisdiction or authority.
