This license agreement is a legal contract between the user of this software and OAS.  Installing the software indicates that you agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.

 

If you do not agree to be bound by the terms of this license agreement, promptly return the software to OAS, or to the place where you obtained it, for a refund.

 

1.             Grant of License.  OAS grants you a non-exclusive license for the use of the software as follows.  You may either:

 

(a)           install the software on multiple computers, provided that those computers are used solely by you at all times; or

 

(b)                 install the software on a single computer, which may be used by different users from time to time.

(c)                  

                If the software is to be used by more than three users under option (a) above or on more than one computer under option (b) above, you must purchase a number of copies (or a multi-user package representing multiple copies) of the software equal to the multiple of three users under option (a) or computers under option (b) as well as a version of FileMakerPro™ for each additional computer.

 

2.             Copy Restrictions.  Ownership of the legal rights contained in the software and the associated documentation shall remain solely with OAS and its suppliers.  These may include trade secret, trademark, copyright, patent, international treaty and other rights as applicable.  You may not sublicense, rent, lease, decompile, disassemble, create derivative works or otherwise distribute the software.  You may not copy the written materials accompanying the software.  You may make an archival copy of the software.  You may permanently transfer the complete software and accompanying materials by delivering the original software media and materials to a third party who accepts the terms and conditions of this agreement and by simultaneously destroying all copies of the software and accompanying materials in your possession.  Such a transfer terminates your license to use the software.

 

3.             Export Control.  The software may be subject to United States of America export control.  You agree to fully comply with all applicable United States of America export regulations.

 

4.             U.S. Government Restricted Rights.  If you are purchasing the software on behalf of the United States Government or any unit or agency thereof, you acknowledge that the software and accompanying materials were developed at private expense and that no part is in the public domain and that the software and documentation are provided with restricted rights.  Use, duplication, or disclosure by the government is subject to restrictions as set forth in Subparagraph (c)(1)(ii) of the Rights in Technical Data and Computer Software clause at DFARS 252.227-7013 or Subparagraphs (c)(1) and (2) of the Commercial Computer Software Restricted Rights at 48 CFR 52.227-19, as applicable.  Contractor/manufacturer is Outcomes Analysis Software, Inc., P.

6.             Disclaimer of Warranties.  There are no other warranties with respect to the software or accompanying materials.  OAS disclaims all other warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose or those arising from trade usage or course of dealing.  No oral or written information or advice given by OAS, its employees, distributors, dealers or agents shall increase the scope of the above warranties or create any new warranties.

 

7.             Some states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply in certain states/jurisdictions.  In that event, any implied warranties are limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law or ninety (90) days from the date of delivery.  This warranty gives you specific legal rights.  You may have other rights, which vary by state/jurisdiction.

 

8.             In no event will OAS be liable to you for damages, whether based on contract, tort, warranty or other legal or equitable grounds, including any lost profits, lost savings, or other incidental or consequential damages arising out of your use or inability to use the software, even if OAS, or an authorized representative of OAS, has been informed of the possibility of such damage.  OAS’s entire liability and your exclusive remedy shall be at OAS’s option to either return the price paid for the software or to repair or replace the software that does not meet OAS’s Limited Warranty and which is returned to OAS, provided that you have previously returned the product registration card or provide a copy of your purchase receipt.  This Limited Warranty does not apply if the failure of the software has resulted from accident, abuse or misapplication.  In no event shall OAS’s liability exceed the purchase price of the software.  Some states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages; therefore, the above limitations may not apply to you.

 

9.             This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California.  Should you have any questions regarding this agreement, or wish to contact Outcomes Analysis Software, Inc. for any reason, please write: Outcomes Analysis Software, P.
