The SOFTWARE PRODUCT also includes any updates and supplements to the original SOFTWARE PRODUCT provided to you by Araxis. Any software provided along with the SOFTWARE PRODUCT that is associated with a separate end-user licence agreement is licensed to you under the terms of that licence agreement. By installing, copying, downloading, accessing, or otherwise using the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, you agree to be bound by the terms of this EULA. If you do not agree to the terms of this EULA, do not install or use the SOFTWARE PRODUCT.

SOFTWARE PRODUCT LICENCE. The SOFTWARE PRODUCT is protected by copyright laws and international copyright treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties. The SOFTWARE PRODUCT is licensed, not sold.

1. EVALUATION USE. If, and only if, you have been provided by Araxis with a licence for the purpose of evaluating Araxis Merge (‘Evaluation Licence’), this EULA grants you the following rights in respect of that Evaluation Licence:

  • Applications Software. You may install, use, access, display, run, or otherwise interact with (‘RUN’) copies of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT on an unlimited number of computers, workstations, terminals, handheld PCs, pagers, smart phones, or other digital electronic devices (‘COMPUTER’) solely for the purpose of determining whether the SOFTWARE PRODUCT meets your requirements. You may evaluate the SOFTWARE PRODUCT for a Trial Period of up to 30 days. When the Trial Period is complete, you must either discontinue your use of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT or acquire a full (non-evaluation) licence for the SOFTWARE PRODUCT. You shall on any request from Araxis certify, in writing to Araxis, the number of copies of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT that you have made and/or are in your possession or control.
  • Storage/Network Use. You may also store or install a copy of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT on a storage device, such as a network server, used only to RUN the SOFTWARE PRODUCT on your other COMPUTERS over an internal network.
  • You may (a) give exact copies of the current evaluation version of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT to any other person, firm or single entity, except for the purpose of extending their 30 day evaluation period; (b) distribute exact copies of the current evaluation version of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT through electronic channels; and (c) make as many exact copies of the current evaluation version of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT for the purposes of such personal or electronic distribution. You may not charge, or request donations, for any such distribution. Araxis may in its absolute discretion revoke these distribution rights at any time for any reason whatsoever.
  • Reservation of Rights. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by Araxis.

2. NON-EVALUATION (‘FULL’) USE. If, and only if, you have acquired from Araxis a full non-evaluation licence for the SOFTWARE PRODUCT (‘FULL LICENCE’), this EULA grants you the following rights in respect of that licence:

  • Applications Software. You may install, use, access, display, run, or otherwise interact with (‘RUN’) one copy of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, or any prior version for the same operating system, on a single computer, workstation, terminal, handheld PC, pager, smart phone, or other digital electronic device (‘COMPUTER’). The primary user of the COMPUTER on which the SOFTWARE PRODUCT is installed may make a second copy for his or her exclusive use on a second computer.
  • Storage/Network Use. You may also store or install a copy of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT on a storage device, such as a network server, used only to RUN the SOFTWARE PRODUCT on your other COMPUTERS over an internal network; however, you must acquire and dedicate a licence for each separate COMPUTER on which the SOFTWARE PRODUCT is RUN from the storage device. A licence for the SOFTWARE PRODUCT may not be shared or used concurrently on different COMPUTERS.
  • Licence Pack. If this package is an Araxis Licence Pack, you may RUN additional copies of the computer software portion of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT up to the number of copies specified above as ‘Licensed Copies’. You are also entitled to make a corresponding number of secondary copies for the second computer use as specified above.
  • Reservation of Rights. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by Araxis.

3. DEPLOYMENT AS A COMPONENT OF A SERVER APPLICATION. This EULA grants you the following additional rights in respect of FULL LICENCES of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT that you have acquired from Araxis:

  • Server Deployment Licence. You may combine two FULL LICENCES together to create a single SERVER DEPLOYMENT LICENCE. Each FULL LICENCE can be dedicated either to a SERVER DEPLOYMENT LICENCE or to granting the FULL USE rights described above, but not to both simultaneously.
  • Server Deployment. For each SERVER DEPLOYMENT LICENCE created, you may deploy one copy of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT on a single operating system installation (‘SERVER’) as a component of a larger application running on that SERVER providing services to multiple users (‘SERVER APPLICATION’).
  • Reservation of Rights. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by Araxis.
