END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT (EULA) FOR ABBYY SOFTWARE

IMPORTANT-READ CAREFULLY: This ABBYY End-User Licence Agreement ("EULA") is a legal agreement between you (either an individual or a single entity) and ABBYY Software House (ABBYY hereinafter), the copyright owner of the software (SOFTWARE hereinafter) supplied together with this agreement and may include associated media, printed materials, and "online" or electronic documentation. By installing, copying, or otherwise using the SOFTWARE, 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.

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

1. GRANT OF LICENCE
This EULA grants you the following rights:
1.1 Application Software
You may install and use one copy of the SOFTWARE on a single computer. 
1.2 Portable Computer
If you have purchased this SOFTWARE and are the primary user of this SOFTWARE you may copy this SOFTWARE onto your portable computer, providing the licence is not shared or used concurrently.
1.3 Multiple Licence Package
You may also store or install a copy of the SOFTWARE on a storage device, such as a network server, used only to install or run the SOFTWARE on your other computers over an internal network; however, you must acquire and dedicate a licence for each separate computer on which the SOFTWARE is installed or run from the storage device. A licence for the SOFTWARE may not be shared or used concurrently on different computers.
1.4 Back-Up Copy
You have the right to make a single copy of the software for back-up purposes in case the original SOFTWARE is lost or damaged. The back-up copy may not be used for any other purpose.

2. Copyright
All title and copyrights in and to the SOFTWARE (including but not limited to any images, photographs, animations, video, audio, music, text, and "applets" incorporated into the SOFTWARE), the accompanying printed materials, and any copies of the SOFTWARE are owned by ABBYY or its suppliers. The SOFTWARE is protected by copyright laws and international treaty provisions. Therefore, you must treat the SOFTWARE like any other copyrighted material except that you may install the SOFTWARE on a single computer provided you keep the original solely for backup or archival purposes. You may not copy the printed materials accompanying the SOFTWARE.

3. Description of other Rights and Limitations
3.1 Reverse Engineering, Decompilation, and Disassembly
You may not disassemble, reverse engineer, or decompile (get the source code out of the object code) the SOFTWARE (applications, databases and other SOFTWARE components), except and only to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this limitation.
3.2 Object Code
You may not make changes to the object code of applications and databases other than those provided for by the SOFTWARE and described in the documentation
3.3 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.
3.4 Re-distribution of the SOFTWARE
Any re-distribution of the SOFTWARE is strictly prohibited. Re-distribution includes granting of access to third parties (including network access and other access methods), and also selling, renting, leasing or lending of the SOFTWARE.
3.5 Transfer of Rights
You may not transfer the SOFTWARE copyright and other rights related to the SOFTWARE to any other.

4. Support Services
ABBYY may provide you with support services related to the SOFTWARE ("Support Services"). Use of Support Services is governed by the ABBYY policies and programs described in the user manual, in "online" documentation, and/or in other ABBYY-provided materials. Any supplemental software code provided to you as part of the Support Services shall be considered part of the SOFTWARE and subject to the terms and conditions of this EULA. With respect to technical information you provide to ABBYY as part of the Support Services, ABBYY may use such information for its business purposes, including for product support and development. ABBYY will not utilize such technical information in a form that personally identifies you.

5. Not for Resale Software.
If the SOFTWARE is labelled "Not for Resale" or "NFR," then, notwithstanding other sections of this EULA, you may not resell, or otherwise transfer against value, the SOFTWARE.

6. Upgrades
If the SOFTWARE is labelled as an upgrade, you must be properly licensed to use a product identified by ABBYY as being eligible for the upgrade in order to use the SOFTWARE. The SOFTWARE labelled as an upgrade replaces and/or supplements the product that formed the basis for your eligibility for the upgrade. You may use the resulting upgraded product only in accordance with the terms of this EULA. If the SOFTWARE is an upgrade of a component of a package of software programs that you licensed as a single product, the SOFTWARE may be used and transferred only as part of that single product package and may not be separated for use on more than one computer.

7. Dual-Media SOFTWARE
You may receive the SOFTWARE on more than one medium. Regardless of the type or size of medium you receive, you may use only one medium that is appropriate for your single computer. You may not use or install the other medium on another computer. You may not loan, rent, lease, or otherwise transfer the SOFTWARE on the other medium to another user.

8. Termination
Without prejudice to any other rights, ABBYY may terminate this EULA if you fail to comply with the terms and conditions of this EULA. In such event, you must destroy all copies of the SOFTWARE and all of its component parts.

9. Valid Legislation
This EULA for SOFTWARE is subject to the country law in which it was purchased.

10. Limited Warranty
ABBYY warrants that (a) the SOFTWARE will perform substantially in accordance with the accompanying written materials for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of receipt, and (b) any Support Services provided by ABBYY shall be substantially as described in applicable written materials provided to you by ABBYY, and ABBYY support engineers will make commercially reasonable efforts to solve any problem issues. Some states and jurisdictions do not allow limitations on duration of an implied warranty, so the above limitation may not apply to you. To the extent allowed by applicable law, implied warranties on the SOFTWARE, if any, are limited to ninety (90) days.

11. Customer Remedies
ABBYY's and its suppliers' entire liability and your exclusive remedy shall be, at ABBYY's option, either (a) return of the price paid, if any, or (b) repair or replacement of the SOFTWARE that does not meet ABBYY's Limited Warranty and which is returned to ABBYY with a copy of your receipt. This Limited Warranty is void if failure of the SOFTWARE has resulted from accident, abuse, or misapplication. Any replacement SOFTWARE will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or thirty (30) days, whichever is longer. Outside the United States, neither these remedies nor any product support services offered by ABBYY are available without proof of purchase from an official stockist.

12. No other Warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ABBYY and its suppliers disclaim all other warranties and conditions, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, with regard to the SOFTWARE, and the provision of or failure to provide Support Services. This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may have others, which vary from state/jurisdiction to state/jurisdiction.

13. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall ABBYY or its suppliers be liable for any special, incidental, indirect, or consequential damages whatsoever (including, without limitation, damages for loss of business profits, business interruption, loss of business information, or any other pecuniary loss) arising out of the use of or inability to use the SOFTWARE or the provision of or failure to provide Support Services, even if ABBYY has been advised of the possibility of such damages. In any case, ABBYY's entire liability under any provision of this EULA shall be limited to the greater of the amount actually paid by you for the SOFTWARE or US Dollar 5.00; provided, however, if you have entered into a ABBYY Support Services Agreement, ABBYY's entire liability regarding Support Services shall be governed by the terms of that agreement. Because some states and jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability, the above limitation may not apply to you.

14. No Warranty
If you acquired THE SOFTWARE product VIA WEB DOWNLOAD, the following warranty EXCLUSION applies to you:
ABBYY expressly disclaims any warranty for the SOFTWARE. The SOFTWARE and any related documentation is provided "as is" without Warranty or condition of any kind, either expressly or implied, including, without limitation, the implied warranties and conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The entire risk arising out of use or performance of the SOFTWARE remains entirely with you.
