You agree to keep the Software free and clear of all liens and encumbrances; any act you take purporting to create any lien or encumbrance on or with respect to the Software will be void and without effect.

GRANT OF LICENSE

This Agreement grants you the following rights, provided you comply with its terms:

a. Software: On the terms and conditions set forth herein, Entertainment Partners grants you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable and non-assignable license to use the Software solely for internal use and solely by a single user on a single personal computer. Unless you are an Academic User (“Academic User” is defined as an individual affiliated with an academic or research institution approved by Entertainment Partners), you may install the Software on at most one additional computer, but only if (a) the two computers are used primarily by the same person (such as your home computer and your office computer, or your desktop computer and your laptop computer) and (b) the two copies of the Software are never used simultaneously. If you are an Academic User, you may install the Software only on a single personal computer. You may not install the Software both on your computer and a co-worker’s computer. After you install the Software (which installation is your responsibility), you must activate the Software according to the Installation and Release Notes or other documentation accompanying the Software. You may transfer your copy of the Software to a different device, but you must completely remove the Software from the former device if you have already downloaded the Software to a second computer.

b. Network Use: The Software may not be stored or installed on a computer in such a way that it can be accessed by others over a network. The Software is for single-user use only. This Agreement does not grant you, and you do not have, the right to provide third parties with access to the Software. You may use remote access technologies (via the Internet) to access and use your licensed copy of the Software, provided that only the primary user of the device hosting the remote desktop session accesses and uses the Software in this manner.

c. Back-Up Copy: You may make a single back-up copy of the Software. You may use the back-up copy solely for archival or emergency restart purposes. You agree that you will not otherwise copy the Software or any portion of the Software. You must clearly label any such copy with Entertainment Partners copyright notice and any other proprietary legends that appear on the original copy.

d. Enhancements: Plug-ins, templates, macros, add-ons, and/or enhancements (“Enhancements”), if any, provided in the future will be subject to the terms of this Agreement except to the extent that conflicting or more restrictive provisions are included in the materials provided to you relating to such Enhancements.

e. Outages: Entertainment Partners does not warrant that the functions contained in the Software will meet your requirements, or that the operation of the Software will be uninterrupted or error-free. In the event of interruption or outages, Entertainment Partners will have no obligation to provide a credit of any fees paid by you for the Software or for the current term’s license. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, you agree that Entertainment Partners has no obligation to upgrade, update, provide Enhancements for or otherwise improve the Software, or provide any specified level of maintenance or customer support with respect to the Software.

f. Included Elements: Any elements included in the Software (such as graphics, photographs, art, document templates, sounds or symbols) (“Media Elements”) may not be sold or licensed separately by you or as part of a collection. Such elements are the property of EP and its licensors and are an integral part of the Software under this Agreement. In addition, you must indemnify and defend EP from and against any third party claims or lawsuits, including attorneys’ fees, that arise from or result from the licensing, use or distribution of Media Elements as modified by you, and include a valid copyright notice on any of your products and services that include such elements.

DISABLING MECHANISM

You acknowledge and agree that the Software has a copy protection mechanism that impedes the unauthorized copying or reproduction of the Software. You shall not act in any way to override such protection or make unlawful copies. If you are not using a licensed copy of the Software, you are not permitted to install the Software or any future Software updates or enhancements.

TERMINATION

a. Failure to Comply: If you fail to observe any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, your rights to use the Software shall cease immediately and Entertainment Partners shall have the right to bring an action for damages, to bring an action to restrain and enjoin you from further actions constituting a default under this Agreement, and to terminate this Agreement or any license granted hereunder. None of the remedies provided for in this paragraph shall be an exclusive remedy, and such remedies shall be in addition to any other remedies which Entertainment Partners may have under applicable law, under this Agreement or otherwise. EP reserves the right to discontinue services, including Internet-based services provided to you or through the use of the Software.

b. Infringement Claims: In the event of an actual or threatened claim of infringement of any intellectual property right (including copyright, patent, trade secret, or trademark) by a third party (“Infringement Claims”), Entertainment Partners reserves, at its sole election, the right to (i) terminate this Agreement and the rights granted hereunder without prejudice to any other rights, or (ii) modify or replace the Software such that it is no longer subject to an Infringement Claim. In the event Entertainment Partners terminates this Agreement due to Infringement Claims, Entertainment Partners will refund to you the fees paid by you, if any. The right to receive such refund shall be your sole remedy in the event of such termination. In lieu of so terminating this Agreement, Entertainment Partners may, at its sole option, modify or replace the Software such that it is no longer subject to an Infringement Claim.

c. Licensee’s Termination Obligations: In event of termination of this Agreement for any reason, you must (i) remove all copies of the Software and all of its components from all of your systems, and (ii) destroy or, at Entertainment Partners’ option, return to Entertainment Partners all such Software, components, and copies thereof.

d. Survival: Your obligations under Sections 4, 5 and 8 through and 14 of this Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect thereafter.

e. Enforcement: You acknowledge that Entertainment Partners will be irreparably damaged if the provisions of this Agreement are not specifically enforced, and that Entertainment Partners would not have an adequate remedy at law in the event of an actual or threatened violation by you of this Agreement. You therefore agree that Entertainment Partners shall be entitled to an injunction restraining any actual or threatened or further violations of your obligations under this Agreement and to any other appropriate decree of specific performance, all without the necessity of posting bond or showing any actual damage or that monetary damages would not afford an adequate remedy.
