IMPORTANT
Please read the following terms and
conditions carefully to determine if you agree to be bound by them.
This software program (LASIK/
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
4.
5. Limited Warranty. OAS warrants that the media on which the
software is recorded will be free of defects in materials and workmanship under
normal use for 90 days after the date of original purchase. If a defect occurs during the 90-day period,
you may return the disk(s) to OAS for free replacement. OAS will replace the disk(s) provided that
you have previously returned the product registration card accompanying the
software to OAS. OAS does not warranty
that the software will meet your requirements or that the operation of the
software will be uninterrupted or error-free.
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
User’s Manual v. 4.0
