IMPORTANT-READ CAREFULLY: This End-User License Agreement (this "EULA") contains the terms and conditions that govern your use of the SOFTWARE (as defined below) and imposes material limitations to your rights. You should read this EULA carefully and treat it as valuable property.

I. THIS EULA.

1. Software Covered by this EULA. This EULA governs your use of the ComponentOne, LLC ("C1") software product(s) enclosed or otherwise accompanied herewith (individually and collectively, the "SOFTWARE"). The term "SOFTWARE" includes, to the extent provided by C1: 1) any revisions, updates and/or upgrades thereto; 2) any data, image or executable files, databases, data engines, computer software, or similar items customarily used or distributed with computer software products; 3) anything in any form whatsoever intended to be used with or in conjunction with the SOFTWARE; and 4) any associated media, documentation (including physical, electronic and online) and printed materials (the "Documentation").

2. This EULA is a Legally Binding Agreement Between You and C1. If you are acting as an agent of a company or another legal person, such as an officer or other employee acting for your employer, then "you" and "your" mean your principal, the entity or other legal person for whom you are acting. However, importantly, even if you are acting as an agent for another, you may still be personally liable for violation of federal and State laws, such as copyright infringement.

   By signifying your acceptance of the terms of this EULA, you intend to be, and hereby are, legally bound to this EULA to the same extent as if C1 and you physically signed this EULA. By installing, copying, or otherwise using the SOFTWARE, you agree to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this EULA. If you do not agree to all of such terms and conditions, you may not install or use the SOFTWARE. If you do not agree with any of the terms herewith and, for whatever reason, installation has begun or has been completed, you should cancel installation or un-install the SOFTWARE, as the case may be. Furthermore, you should promptly return the SOFTWARE to the place of business from which you obtained it in accordance with any return policies of such place of business. Return policies may vary among resellers; therefore you must comply with the return policies of your supplier as you agreed at the point of purchase. If the place of business from which you purchased the SOFTWARE does not honor a full refund for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of purchase, you may then return the SOFTWARE directly to C1 for a refund provided that such returns is authorized within the same thirty (30) days time period. To return the product directly to C1, you must first obtain a Return Authorization Number by contacting C1, and you must forward to C1 all items purchased, including the proof of purchase. The return must be postage-prepaid, and post-marked within thirty (30) days from the proof of purchase, time being of the essence. The return option to C1 is only available to the original purchaser of an unopened factory packaged item.

II. YOUR LICENSE TO USE AND TO DISTRIBUTE.

As provided in more detail below, this EULA grants you two licenses: 1) a license to use the SOFTWARE (the “User License”) to create online help, manuals or other documentation in electronic or printed format (the "Output Documents"); and 2) a license to distribute the Output Documents and to incorporate in such Output Documents those files identified in the Documentation as Redistributable Files.(the "Distribution License"). These licenses (individually and collectively, the "Licenses") are explained and defined in more detail below. Except for those specific Redistributable Files, you MAY NOT distribute the SOFTWARE, in any format, to others.

1. Definitions. The following terms have the respective meanings as used in this EULA:

   "Web Server" means a type of Network Server that serves other computers which, are specifically connected to it through either an intranet or the Internet.

   "Redistributable Files" means the SOFTWARE files or other portions of the SOFTWARE that are provided by C1 and are identified as such in the Documentation for distribution by you with the Output Documents.

   "User" means a human being or any other automated device using the SOFTWARE in accordance with the terms and conditions of this EULA.

   "User Seat License" means that each User using or otherwise accessing the SOFTWARE must obtain the right to do so by purchasing a separate End User License.

   2. Your User License.

   License to Use the Software.

   The SOFTWARE is licensed to you on a User Seat License basis.

   User Seat License basis means that you may perform an installation of the SOFTWARE for use in creating Output Documents by a single User on one or more computers, each with a single set of input devices, so long as 1) such computer/computers is/are used only by one single User at any given time and not concurrently and, 2) the user is the primary User to whom the license has been granted. Conversely, you may not install or use the SOFTWARE on a computer that is a network server or a computer at which the SOFTWARE is used by more than one User. You may not network the SOFTWARE or any component part of it, where it is or may be used by more than one User unless you purchase an additional User License for each User. You must purchase another separate license to the SOFTWARE in order to add additional User seats, whether the additional Users are accessing the SOFTWARE in a stand-alone environment or on a computer network.

   The license rights granted under this Agreement may be limited to a specified number of days after you first install the SOFTWARE unless you supply information required to license or activate your licensed copy, as the case may be, within the time and the manner described during the SOFTWARE setup sequence and/or in the dialog boxes appearing during use of the SOFTWARE. You may need to activate the SOFTWARE through the use of the Internet, email or telephone; toll charges may apply. You may need to re-activate the SOFTWARE if you modify your computer hardware or if you have installed it on a different computer; in some cases the number of activations allowed may be limited and you will have to contact C1 for clearance. Product activation is based on the exchange of information between your computer and C1. None of this information contains personally identifiable information nor can they be used to identify any personal information about you or any information you store in your computer. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE TECHNOLOGICAL MEASURES IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ARE DESIGNED TO PREVENT UNLICENSED OR ILLEGAL USE OF THE SOFTWARE. YOU AGREE THAT C1 MAY USE SUCH MEASURES AND YOU AGREE TO FOLLOW ANY REQUIREMENTS REGARDING SUCH TECHNOLOGICAL MEASURES. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL CEASE TO FUNCTION UNLESS AND UNTIL YOU ACTIVATE THE APPLICABLE SOFTWARE SERIAL NUMBER.

   You agree that C1 may audit your use of the SOFTWARE for compliance with these terms at any time, upon reasonable notice. In the event that such audit reveals any use of the SOFTWARE other than in full compliance with the terms of this EULA, you shall reimburse C1 for all reasonable expenses related to such audit in addition to any other liabilities you may incur as a result of such non-compliance.

   In all cases, (a) you may not use C1's name, logo, or trademarks to market your Output Documents without the express written consent of C1 except in the default themes legend that may appear on the Output Documents which includes the C1 logo and a line of text reading “Powered by ComponentOne Doc-To-Help”; (b) you agree to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend C1, its suppliers and resellers, from and against any claims or lawsuits, including attorney's fees that may arise from the use or distribution of your Output Documents.

Together with the Licenses, the original purchaser is granted a one-year subscription from the date of purchase. Upon expiration, you must renew your license subscription to continue to be entitled to receive SOFTWARE revisions.

4. Serial Number. With your license, you will be issued a unique serial number (the "Serial Number") used for the activation of the SOFTWARE. The Serial Number is subject to the restrictions set forth in this EULA and may not be disclosed or distributed either with your Output Documents or in any other way. The disclosure or distribution of the Serial Number constitutes a breach of this EULA, the effect of which shall be the immediate termination and revocation of all the rights granted herein.
