Syn-Apps End-User License Agreement
IMPORTANT-READ CAREFULLY:
This Syn-Apps End-User License Agreement (“EULA”) is a legal agreement between you (either an individual person or a single legal entity, who will be referred to in this EULA as “You”) and Syn-Apps L.L.C. (“Syn-Apps”) for the Syn-Apps Software that is delivered to you, including any associated media, printed materials and electronic documentation (the “Software”). The Software also includes any software updates, add-on components, web services and/or supplements that Syn-Apps may provide to You or make available to You after the date You obtain Your initial copy of the Software to the extent that such items are not accompanied by a separate license agreement or terms of use. By installing, copying, downloading, accessing 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, access or use the Software and return all media, materials and documentation to Syn-Apps.
1) GRANT OF LICENSE.
(a) You are granted a non-exclusive, personal, non-transferable, limited, terminable license to use the Software solely for your own internal use on a single computer in the written language(s) that you selected at time of first installation and in which you have acquired rights. Unless otherwise stated in the license documents, this is an annual license which must be renewed prior to the license anniversary date.
Each license is End User specific and limited to the number of End Points licensed. An End User means any person or legal entity that has been granted a license for the Software. End Points mean the number of unique devices licensed to interact with the Software within End User’s system.
You can also place a copy of the Software on a common build/test machine provided that a license has been purchased for that common machine and each person using it has a license. In all cases, a license for the Software may not be shared.
(b) License Pack/Corporate Site License. If you have acquired this Software as part of a Syn-Apps License Pack or Corporate Site License Agreement, you may make the number of copies of the computer software portion of the Software as defined in that License Pack or Corporate Site license and you may use each copy in the manner specified above.
(c) DUAL-MEDIA SOFTWARE. You may receive the Software in more than one medium. Regardless of the type or size of the medium you receive, you may use only that one medium that is appropriate for your single computer. You may not use or install the other medium on another computer, including but not limited to portable computers under Your exclusive control. You may not loan, rent, lease, or otherwise transfer the other medium to another user, except as part of the permanent transfer (as provided below) of the Software.

Syn-Apps reserves all rights in the Software not expressly granted to You.
(b) Limitations on Use. You are permitted to make one (1) archival copy of the Syn-Apps software. You may not copy the printed materials or media comprising part of the Software.

(c) Confidentiality/Privacy. You may acquire certain information that is confidential, proprietary or trade secret information of Syn-Apps or a third party (“Confidential Information”) under this EULA including but not limited to any related system design, data base design, algorithms, trade secrets, technology, pricing and licensing. You will: (a) use such information solely for performance under this Agreement; (b) not disclose such information to any third party; and (c) otherwise protect such information from any unauthorized use or disclosure. You shall see that Your employees, agents and subsidiaries having access to Confidential Information are bound by confidentiality obligations consistent with this provision. Nevertheless, You will not be obligated to keep confidential any information that is: (a) publicly available through no fault of Yours, (b) received by you from a third party who is not under a confidentiality obligation regarding the information, (c) independently developed by You without referring to the Confidential Information, or (d) required by applicable law to be disclosed by You (provided that You shall give prompt notice to Syn-Apps unless notice is not allowed by a regulating agency seeking such information, and assist and support Syn-Apps’s efforts to maintain the confidentiality of the information, including but not limited to securing protective orders and limiting the information disclosed). Syn-Apps may reflect Your name in a customer list and the respective products involved.
(d) Legends and Notices. You agree to maintain all proprietary legends and notices on all tangible and electronic copies of Confidential Information, the Syn-Apps software, media and documentation, and particularly those legends and notices concerning ownership of trademarks and copyrights, and ownership and restricted usage of Syn-Apps software. You may not remove, modify or alter any Syn-Apps copyright or trademark notice from any part of the Software, including but not limited to any such notices contained in the physical and/or electronic media or documentation, in the Syn-Apps Setup Wizard dialogue or ‘about’ boxes, in any of the runtime resources and/or in any web-presence or web-enabled notices, code or other embodiments originally contained in or otherwise created by the Software.
(e) Nonsolicitation. During the Term of this Agreement and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, You shall not actively and directly solicit any employee of Syn-Apps that is involved with the Software to leave his/her employment to engage in, be employed by, perform services for, participate in or otherwise be connected with that You or any related part in a capacity involved with the Software licensed to You without the prior written agreement Syn-Apps.
(f) Not for Resale Software. If the Software is labeled “Not for Resale” or “NFR” or “Evaluation Copy” or “30 Day Complimentary,” then, notwithstanding other sections of this EULA, you may not use the Software for commercial purposes or sell, or otherwise transfer it for value.
(g) In all cases, the Software license does not become effective until Syn-Apps has received payment in full.
(h) Support Services. Any and all supplemental Software code, materials and documentation provided in the rendition of Support Services by Syn-Apps is part of the Software and subject to the terms and conditions of this EULA.

(i) Upgrades and Subscriptions. If the Software is labeled or otherwise identified by Syn-Apps as an “upgrade” or “subscription,” You must be properly licensed to use a product identified by Syn-Apps as being eligible for the upgrade in order to use the Software. Software, labeled or otherwise identified by Syn-Apps as an upgrade, replaces and/or supplements the product that formed the basis for your eligibility for such 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.
3) LIMITED WARRANTY
(a) LIMITED WARRANTY. Syn-Apps warrants that (a) the Software will, for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of delivery, perform in all material respects in accordance with Syn-Apps’s written materials accompanying it. Syn-Apps does not warrant that the Software is free from all bugs, errors or omissions. The warranty does not extend to any failure of the Software caused by: any modification or change not made by Syn-Apps; any noncompliance caused by use of the Software in combination with products, goods, services or other items furnished by anyone other than Syn-Apps; or use of the Software in an operating environment other than as specified by Syn-Apps.
(b) Customer Exclusive Remedies. Syn-Apps will use reasonable efforts at its facility to correct any Software that fails to comply with the foregoing warranty by delivering one or more error corrections, provided that You give Syn-Apps prompt written notice of such failure during the Warranty Period, and Syn-Apps is able to reproduce the noncompliance in the operating environment for which the Software is designed. If, after the expenditure of such reasonable efforts, Syn-Apps is unable to correct the Software such that it complies with the foregoing warranty, Syn-Apps will refund all or, if Your license to use the Software continues, a reasonable portion of the license fees You paid with respect to such Software in full satisfaction of all of Your claims relating to such noncompliance. You will supply Syn-Apps with all reasonably requested information to assist Syn-Apps in reproducing the failure. 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.
(c) No Other Warranties. SYN-APPS AND ITS SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND LIABILITIES, 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.
S4) LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
(a) SYN-APPS’S ENTIRE LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS EULA OR ANY SOFTWARE, DOCUMENTATION, MATERIAL, SUPPORT, MAINTENANCE, SERVICES OR OTHER ITEMS FURNISHED OR TO BE FURNISHED UNDER THIS EULA OR ASSOCIATED WITH IT WILL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE LICENSE FEES PAID TO SYN-APPS FOR THE APPLICABLE ITEM WHICH IS THE BASIS FOR THE CLAIM; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IF THE LICENSE GRANTED IS A LICENSE OTHER THAN A PERPETUAL LICENSE, SYN-APPS’S ENTIRE LIABILITY WILL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE FEES PAID TO SYN-APPS BY YOU DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE OCCURRENCE OF THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CAUSE OF ACTION. NO ACTION RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT MORE THAN TWO (2) YEARS AFTER THE OCCURRENCE OF THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CAUSE OF ACTION.
(b) IN NO EVENT SHALL SYN-APPS OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST DATA, LOST PROFITS, INTEREST OR COST OF MONEY; OR FOR COVER; OR FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF SYN-APPS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
5) TERMINATION.
(a) Termination for Default. If You fail to cure a default within thirty (30) days after written notice explaining the default, Syn-Apps may immediately terminate any license or other deliverables to which the default relates. Default includes, without limitation, any failure by You to pay license fees when due. Syn-Apps may terminate this EULA and any licenses immediately by giving You written notice of termination if You become insolvent, a receiver or conservator is appointed for any part of Your assets, or a bankruptcy proceeding is commenced by or against You.
(b) Effect of Termination. Termination of this Agreement for default terminates any license granted, and You will: (a) immediately stop using the Software and promptly remove the Software from any hardware on which the Syn-Apps software is installed, and (b) at Syn-Apps’s direction, within twenty (20) days of termination return to Syn-Apps or destroy all copies of any Software (including all media and documentation) in your possession or control and certify the return or destruction of the Software to Syn-Apps. Termination for default does not relieve You of any payment obligations which arise prior to the effective date of the termination, including the payment of license fees (such as renewal fees of any annual license) that commences prior to the effective date of the termination.

B. Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned or transferred in any way by You without the prior written consent of Syn-Apps. Any consent may impose an obligation on Syn-Apps to pay an administrative fee to Syn-Apps for effectuating such assignment and will not relieve You of any obligation under this Agreement. Any consent will require that Your and/or Your successor immediately brings all accounts current and makes all adjusting payments required by any licenses. Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement will be fully binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
C. Excused Delays. To the extent that a delay or failure to perform result from causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected party, that party will be excused and not liable for such delay or failure.

The parties will first attempt through earnest discussion to resolve their differences, including providing notice of the dispute and involving appropriate levels of management of both parties. Failing resolution, the parties will participate in mediation as administered by the American Arbitration Association. Failing resolution through mediation, any dispute will be settled by suit. Notwithstanding this Section, either party may seek equitable relief from any court having jurisdiction to the extent necessary to prevent irreparable harm.
