“iRise”) for any version of the Software that you download or install. BY
SELECTING THE “ACCEPT” BUTTON AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR DOWNLOADING,
INSTALLING OR USING ANY VERSION OF THE SOFTWARE, YOU ACCEPT THE TERMS OF THIS
AGREEMENT. IF YOU USE OR INTEND TO USE THE SOFTWARE FOR THE BENEFIT OF YOUR
EMPLOYER OR OTHER SIMILAR ENTITY, THEN YOU ARE ACCEPTING ON BEHALF OF YOUR
EMPLOYER AND SUCH OTHER ENTITY AND YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE FULL
LEGAL AUTHORITY TO BIND YOUR EMPLOYER AND SUCH OTHER ENTITY TO THESE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS. IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO BE BOUND BY ALL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

EMPLOYER OR SIMILAR ENTITY, SELECT THE “DECLINE” OR “CANCEL” BUTTON AND THE

AGREEMENT ARE CONTINGENT ON YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS
AGREEMENT.
ANY MASTER SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT BETWEEN IRISE AND YOU OR
YOUR EMPLOYER FOR THE SOFTWARE WILL SUPERSEDE THIS AGREEMENT AND GOVERN YOUR
USE OF THE SOFTWARE.
License Grant. Subject to your advance payment in full
of any applicable license fees, iRise hereby grants you a limited,
non-exclusive, non-transferable license, for the term specified (if any) in the
license key file provided by iRise, to (a) install and use the Software on a
single computer that you own, lease or control and; (b) use the Documentation
provided with the Software solely in connection with the use of the Software;
and (c) make one copy of the Software and the related Documentation solely for
backup purposes. The backup copy must retain all copyright notices.
“Documentation” means product documentation created by iRise and provided to
you with the Software that formally describes the use, function, or technical
details of the Software (e.g., installation guides, user guides, and reference
manuals). If your license key expires on a specified date (“Term End Date”),
the Software will terminate operations on the Term End Date and accordingly,
you will no longer have access to any files or output created with the
Software. iRise will have no liability for any loss caused by such cessation of
operation of the Software, including loss of data or loss of business. If your
license key to the Software is a “trial” license key or the Software itself is
labeled “trial” or you did not pay iRise a license fee for the Software, you
must use the Software for non-production, evaluation purposes only. Federal government license rights are granted
consistent with FAR 52.227-14 “Rights in Data – General”.
Limitations and Restrictions. You are only granted a
license for the machine-readable, object code portion of the Software. You will
not modify, enhance, reverse engineer or alter the Software. You will not sell,
lease, assign, publish, bargain, convey or otherwise transfer or grant any
rights to the Software. You will not make derivative works of the Software. You
will not use the Software except as set forth in the Documentation and will not
use the Software in combination with any other software not explicitly provided
for in the Documentation. You will not attempt to circumvent or disable the
license key features of the software, including without limitation features
designed to enforce the Term End Date.
Reservation of Rights: You will not have any rights
in or to the Software or Documentation except as expressly granted in this
Agreement. iRise and its licensors and suppliers reserve to themselves all
rights to the Software and Documentation not expressly granted to you in
accordance with this Agreement.
The following paragraph applies only to
iRise Studio Professional Edition, iRise Studio MX and iRise Studio Enterprise
Edition. The following paragraph does not apply to iRise Studio
Enterprise Edition if you have installed a license key for that product.
Collection and transmission of Usage Data is automatically disabled upon
installation of a license key for iRise Studio Enterprise Edition.
Consent to Use of Data and Google Analytics™. You
acknowledge and agree that the Software may record and transmit to iRise statistical
and other information about your use of the Software (“Usage Data”). iRise may
use ”Usage Data” to analyze your use of the software and to improve iRise’s
products and services, provided the ”Usage Data” is collected in a form that
does not personally identify you. iRise uses Google Analytics to collect and analyze
“Usage Data”. Google Analytics collects Usage Data and transmits this
information to Google. Google will store this information for later access by
iRise. Google's privacy policy is available at:
http://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html. You can disable the collection Usage
Data, the transmission of Usage Data and the use of Google Analytics in Studio
Preferences by switching 'Usage data collection’ to ‘off’.
Termination: This
Agreement is effective from the date that you accept this Agreement as
specified above or otherwise download, install, or use the Software, and will
automatically terminate upon the sooner of (a) the Term End Date, if any, (b)
your violation of any provision of this Agreement, or (c) your return,
destruction, or deletion of all copies of the Software in your possession. Upon
termination of this Agreement, you will destroy all copies of the Software and
Documentation in your possession within five days of such termination, and
immediately thereafter, if requested by iRise, provide iRise with a written
notice signed by you certifying that you have destroyed all copies of the
Software and Documentation in your possession. iRise’s rights and your
obligations will survive the termination of this Agreement.
Governing Law; Arbitration: This Agreement will be
construed, interpreted and governed by the laws of the State of California,
without regard to conflicts of law provisions thereof, and not including the provisions
of the 1980 U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
In the event of any controversy, claim, or dispute between the parties arising
out of or relating to this Agreement, such controversy, claim, or dispute must
be finally settled by binding arbitration in Los Angeles, California, under the
Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce by three
arbitrators appointed in accordance with ICC rules. Judgment on the award
rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
iRise may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief
without breach of this arbitration provision.
Support: Subject to payment in full of the applicable license or support
fees (as further described in this paragraph), iRise makes available support
regarding installation, operation, and use of the Software, between 6:00AM and
6:00PM PT, Monday through Friday, excluding U.S. national bank holidays by
either (a) email to support@iRise.com or (b) telephone at 310-426-7880 or
866-361-3900 (“Support”). iRise will acknowledge receipt of and respond to all
requests for Support within a reasonable amount of time. Support is included in
the license fees for a time-limited license key to the Software (excluding any
trial or evaluation version of the Software), until the Term End Date. Support
must be purchased separately if you have purchased a perpetual license key to
the Software. If purchased separately, the term of your Support shall be one
year, and otherwise, the term of your Support shall be the same as the term of
this Agreement (in each case, the “Support Term”).
Also subject to your advanced payment in full of the applicable
license or support fees and during the Support Term, iRise may, at its sole
discretion, make available new versions of the Software that include
improvements, enhancements, upgrades, modifications or additions (“Updates”).
Provided that such Updates are not separately marketed or charged for by iRise,
you will be entitled to receive the Updates during the Support Term. Any
Updates provided to you will be deemed part of the Software and must be used in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
iRise is not obligated to continue to offer the Software, Support
or Updates after the Support Term. If you have purchased a perpetual license
key to the Software, and provided that iRise continues to provide Support for
the Software, you may renew Support at the end of the Support Term. Fees for
the renewal term shall be equal to the fees for the previous Support Term plus
an inflation adjustment amount each renewal year in accordance with the
following formula: If, 30 days prior to the end of the Support term, the
unadjusted Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, All Cities Average,
1982-84=100, as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Department
of Labor (“CPI”), is higher than the CPI on the date one year prior (“Base
Index”), iRise will increase the Support fees for the coming renewal term by
the percentage that the then current CPI increased over the Base Index. iRise
is not obligated to provide any Support or Updates for any trial or evaluation
version of the Software.
Data Protection. You are solely responsible for protecting
and backing up any of your data used or developed in connection with the
Software.
Proprietary Rights Notices. You will neither alter nor
remove any copyright notice or other proprietary rights notices that may appear
on any part of the Software. In addition, when reproducing any part of the Software
in accordance with this Agreement, you must include all copyright and other
proprietary rights notices as are currently contained on each part of the
Software.

Documentation in compliance with all applicable laws, including all export

Warranty Disclaimer. THE
SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED TO YOU “AS IS” AND IRISE MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR
WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED (EITHER IN FACT OR
BY OPERATION OF LAW), OR STATUTORY, AS TO USE, PERFORMANCE, OR RESULTS OF THE
SOFTWARE. IRISE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF
MERCHANTABILITY, MERCHANTABLE QUALITY, QUIET POSSESSION, CORRESPONDENCE WITH
DESCRIPTION, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUALITY, ACCURACY, TITLE, AND
NON-INFRINGEMENT, EXCEPT FOR ANY WARRANTY OR CONDITION THAT MAY NOT BE EXCLUDED
BY APPLICABLE LAW OF YOUR JURISDICTION. IRISE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE

IRISE EXERCISES NO CONTROL OVER AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY ARISING
OUT OF OR BASED UPON APPLICATIONS THAT ARE SIMULATED OR DEVELOPED USING THE
SOFTWARE.
Disclaimer of Consequential Damages and Cap on Liability. UNDER
NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL IRISE BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL,
SPECIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE OR YOUR
USE OF THE SOFTWARE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR
LOSS OF BUSINESS, EVEN IF IRISE IS APPRISED OF THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES
OCCURRING. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS APPLY TO THE EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW IN YOUR JURISDICTION. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL
IRISE’S TOTAL LIABILITY OF ALL KINDS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE
OR YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE, REGARDLESS OF THE FORUM AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER
ANY ACTION OR CLAIM IS BASED ON CONTRACT (INCLUDING FUNDAMENTAL BREACH), TORT
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS
PARAGRAPH), OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE SOFTWARE,
IF ANY. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION WILL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE

only to the extent the limitations or exclusions are permitted under the laws
of the jurisdiction where you are located.

arising out of or relating to any actual or threatened third party claims that
you have (i) used the Software in violation of another party's rights or in
violation of any law, or (ii) violated any terms of this Agreement. If you are
importing the Software from the United States, you will indemnify and hold
iRise and its distributors harmless from and against any import and export
duties or other claims arising from such importation.

inspect your facilities during normal business hours (following provision of
reasonable advance notice to you by iRise), to verify your compliance with this

in any way (including by merger, sale of assets, operation of law, or otherwise)
any of the rights and obligations arising out of this Agreement without the
prior written consent of iRise.
Severability;
Waiver. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining
provisions will remain in full force and effect. If any material limitation or
restriction on the grant of any license to you under this Agreement is found to
be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, the license will immediately terminate.
The failure or delay of iRise to exercise any of its rights under this
Agreement or upon any breach of this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of
those rights or of the breach.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the
entire agreement between you and iRise with respect to the subject matter of
this Agreement and merges all prior and contemporaneous communications. This
Agreement may only be modified by a written agreement signed by both you and
iRise.
