("Licensor") for the software product identified above, which includes computer software and may include associated media, printed materials, and "online" or electronic documentation ("software product " or "software"). By purchasing, installing, copying, or otherwise using the software products, you agree to be bound by the terms of this EULA. If you do not agree to the terms of this EULA, you may not buy and use the software products offered on this homepage.

German copyright laws and international copyright treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws protect the SecurStar GmbH licensed software. All offered software products are licensed, not sold.

You are permitted to install and use the licensed software in machine-readable form only and solely on a single desktop computer provided by you, solely for the purposes described in the applicable Licensor documentation. Any components of the licensed software explicitly designed to reside and operate from a server, may be installed on a single server solely on your premises, and any client component is to be installed on as many clients as user licenses purchased and described in the applicable Licensor documentation.


2. DESCRIPTION OF OTHER RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS.
You may not reverse engineer, decompile, translate, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive source code from the licensed software product, or authorize any third party to do any of the foregoing except and only to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this limitation. The licensed software product is licensed as a single product. Its component parts may not be separated for use on more than one computer. You may not rent, lease, loan, or distribute the licensed software product or any part thereof.

SOFTWARE TRANSFER: You may not transfer your license of the software to a third party.


3. COPYRIGHT.
All title and copyrights in and to the licensed software products (including but not limited to any images, photographs, animations, video, audio, music, text, and "applets" incorporated into the licensed software product), the accompanying printed materials, and any copies of the LICENSED SOFTWARE PRODUCT are owned by Licensor or its suppliers.

Licensee agrees that some of the ciphers used in the licensed software product(s) are the intellectual property of others, and may need a licence for ANY commercial use, such as use on a business system. Licensee acknowledges this is especially true in the case of the IDEA algorithm.

LICENSOR, ITS SUPPLIERS AND DISTRIBUTOR DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO LICENSEE, IN WHICH CASE THE DURATION OF ANY SUCH IMPLIED WARRANTIES IS LIMITED TO sixty (60) DAYS FROM THE DATE LICENSEE FIRST INSTALLED THE LICENSED SOFTWARE ON LICENSEE'S COMPUTER; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT LICENSEE'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, AND LICENSOR'S SOLE OBLIGATION SHALL IN ANY CASE BE THAT LICENSOR WILL, AT ITS OPTION, REPAIR OR REPLACE LICENSEE'S COPY OF THE LICENSED SOFTWARE, OR TERMINATE THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT AND REFUND AMOUNTS ALREADY PAID THEREFOR BY LICENSEE. Some States, Provinces, or other jurisdictions do not allow for exclusions of implied warranties or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above exclusion or limitation may not apply to Licensee. Licensee may have other rights, which vary, from state to state, Province to Province, or in other jurisdictions.

Licensor does not warrant that the functions contained in the Licensed software will meet your requirements or that the operation of the Licensed software will be uninterrupted or error-free.
