1. Grant of License.

Except as may be set forth in a separate agreement, amendment, or addendum to this EULA which sets forth a different term for your license, such as a site license addendum or a subscription addendum, TechSmith hereby grants you a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, limited license to install and run the Software in a manner consistent with its design and documentation. The license granted herein is in all cases subject to and conditioned on your payment of the license fees and your compliance with this EULA.

 

2. Scope of Licensed Use.

2.1 General and Cross Platform Use.  Subject to compliance with all terms and conditions of this EULA and provided a valid, authorized, and activated Software key is presented, Licensee is licensed to install and run one copy of the Software on one Device for use by each Authorized User.  Excluding licensing models where the Software has been licensed as a multi-user program (such as a site license), a second copy of the Software may be installed on a second Device for use by the same Authorized User. Both the Windows and Mac versions of the Software may be installed and used. In no event may the permitted copies of the Software installed by an Authorized User be used on more than one Device at a time.

The components of the Software are licensed as a single unit and may not be separated or virtualized and installed on different Devices. The Software may only be used for the internal purposes of the Licensee.

Where a Licensee’s Order permits two or more Authorized Users, the second copy of the Software permitted herein must be used solely for the benefit of the same individual Authorized User that the license has been provisioned for and may not be used to increase the total number of permitted Authorized Users.

2.2 Distribution from Server. So long as you comply with the terms and conditions of this EULA, you are licensed to copy an image of the Software onto Computer file server(s) within your Internal Network for the purpose of downloading and installing the Software onto devices within the same Internal Network for use as permitted herein.

2.3 Server use. So long as you comply with the terms and conditions of this EULA, you are licensed to install a copy of the Software on Computer file server(s) within your Internal Network only for use of the Software initiated by an individual from a Computer within the same Internal Network as permitted by this EULA. The total number of users (not the concurrent number of users) able to use the Software on such Computer file servers(s) may not exceed the number permitted by the license ordered by you.

By way of example, the foregoing does not permit you to install or access (either directly or through commands, data or instructions) the Software: (i) from or to a Computer or device not part of your Internal Network, (ii) for enabling web hosted workgroups or services available to the public, (iii) by an individual or entity to use, download, copy or otherwise benefit from the functionality of the Software unless licensed to do so by TechSmith, (iv) as a component of a system, workflow or service accessible by more than the number of users permitted by the license ordered by you, or (v) for operations not initiated by an individual user (e.g., automated server processing).

2.4 Backup Copy. So long as you comply with the terms and conditions of this EULA, you are licensed to make a reasonable number of backup copies of the Software, provided your backup copies are not installed or used for other than archival purposes.

2.5 Integrity of 3rd Party Content and Software. Your use of the Software may be affected by digital rights management systems in order to protect the integrity of certain third party Content and the Software. You may not use any Computer or hardware designed to defeat any copy-protection device, should the Content or Software you have licensed utilize such protection. You may not remove or alter any trademark, trade names, product names, logos, copyright notices, legends, symbols, labels, or watermarking in any third party Content or the Software, except to the extent as expressly indicated in the third party Content or Software.

2.6 Multiple Environment/Multiple Platforms/Dual-Media Software. If you were licensed to receive the Software in a manner that supports multiple environments, platforms, operating systems or languages or in more than one medium, regardless of the type or size of medium you receive, you are licensed to use only one environment, platform, operating system, language or medium that is appropriate for your single Computer at a time. By way of clarity and in accordance with this EULA, you are only licensed to use one version of the Software on one platform and in one language at a time (not simultaneously). You may not use or install the other medium on another Computer other than as expressly stated in the EULA. You may not loan, rent, lease, license, distribute or otherwise transfer the other medium to another user.

 

3. Description of Other Rights and Limitations.

The license granted to you in this EULA is further conditioned upon your compliance with all of the following conditions:

1. Limitations on Reverse Engineering, De-compilation, and Disassembly. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, translate, localize or disassemble the Software.
2. Separation of Components. The Software is licensed as a single product. Its component parts may not be separated for use on more than one Computer. You may not unbundle or repackage the Software for distribution.
3. No Rental or Other Distribution. You may not rent, license, assign, transfer, time share, host, lend, sublicense, distribute, or lease the Software, or any access code or any licenses associated with the same for any purpose, except as otherwise expressly provided in this EULA.
4. No Software License Transfers to Third Parties. You may not transfer this license under any circumstances to a third party without TechSmith’s prior written consent and any such approved transferee must agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this EULA. You may not transfer license on a short term or temporary basis without TechSmith’s prior written consent.  However, if you have licensed the Software as a multi-user program (such as a site license) and provided that you comply with all the terms and conditions of this EULA and when required by the Software, you present a valid, authorized, and activated Software key, it is permissible to allow an authorized user to be substituted or replaced for another authorized user (for example, a departing employee’s access to the Software may be decommissioned and replaced by providing a new employee with credentials) provided you do not exceed the total number of licenses permitted by your order.
5. No Distribution or Sale of Software Keys. The Software and any copies of the Software keys related to the Software may not be copied, reproduced, distributed, used, posted, modified, adapted, prepare derivatives of or displayed in any form or manner on any online auction sites or any other site of any kind without the express prior written permission of TechSmith. Any distribution, transfer, or posting made in violation of the requirements, conditions, or restrictions of this section will be void and may result in termination of this EULA.

 

4.  License Compliance

4.1 TechSmith collects information for fraud and piracy prevention including the number of downloads or installations of the Software through a “call-home” system which may be sent to a TechSmith or a third party cloud server for storage or further processing by TechSmith or its vendors that provide license compliance services. Such information shall include the IP address, computer and session ID, and information about the Software license key(s) installed.

4.2 The Software includes technology designed to prevent unauthorized use and copying. If you do not follow the validation, installation, or license management process described in the applicable documentation, such technology may prevent your use of the Software. In addition, TechSmith utilizes monitoring and scouring technologies to obtain and transmit data on users of illegal copies of the Software. This data collection is not performed on users of legal licensed Software.  If you are using an illegal copy of our software, you are subject to the collection and transmission of such data as described herein. You are advised to cease using the illegal version and contact TechSmith or one of its authorized Resellers and Distributors to obtain a legally licensed copy.

 

5. Termination.

5.1 TechSmith may terminate this EULA if you fail to comply with any of the terms and conditions of this EULA, which includes, but is not limited to, your unauthorized reproduction, copying, distribution, modification, adaptation or the making of a derivative of or display of the Software or any of the Software keys associated with the same. In such event, upon termination you must delete or destroy all copies of the Software and any Software keys associated with the same and all of its component parts and you must provide TechSmith in writing your certification as to the same.

5.2 BY PAYING THE LICENSE FEE FOR THE SOFTWARE WITHOUT REQUESTING A REFUND OF SUCH FEE (IN ACCORDANCE WITH TECHSMITH’S RETURN AND CANCELLATION POLICIES AND PROCEDURES AND/OR THE APPLICABLE RETURN AND CANCELLATION POLICIES OF TECHSMITH’S AUTHORIZED RESELLERS AND DISTRIBUTORS), OR INSTALLING, COPYING, OR OTHERWISE USING THE SOFTWARE, SUCH ACTS INDICATE YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THIS EULA AND YOUR AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS EULA.

The parties agree that in such event, in addition to TechSmith’s right to recover damages for a breach of this EULA, TechSmith shall be entitled to obtain a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction from a court of competent jurisdiction, without posting of bond or other security or proof of actual damages, to prevent you, your employees, agents, consultants, or independent contractors from engaging in any further mis-use copying, of the Software or the continued breach of the remaining terms and conditions of this EULA .
