3. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

3.1 You acknowledge that all intellectual property rights in the Software and the Documentation throughout the world belong to the Licensor or third party licensor(s) (as the case may be), that rights in the Software are licensed (not sold) to you, and that you have no rights in, or to, the Software or the Documentation other than the right to use them in accordance with the terms of this Licence.

3.2 You acknowledge that you have no right to have access to the Software in source code form or in unlocked coding or with comments.

3.3 The integrity of the Software is protected by technical protection measures (TPM) so that the intellectual property rights, including copyright, in the Software of the Licensor are not misappropriated. You must not attempt in any way to remove or circumvent such TPM, nor to apply, manufacture, import, distribute, sell, let for hire, offer, expose or advertise for sale for hire or have in your possession for private or commercial purposes, any means whose sole reasonable purpose is to facilitate the unauthorised removal or circumvention of such TPM.

4. LIMITED WARRANTY

4.1 We warrant that:

(a) at the time that it is supplied and for 90 days thereafter (Warranty Period), the Software will, when properly used, perform substantially in accordance with the functions described in the Documentation, and the Documentation correctly describes the operation of the Software in all material respects; and

(b) the Software has been tested for viruses using commercially available virus-checking software, consistent with current industry practice.

4.2 If, within the Warranty Period, you notify the Licensor in writing of any defect or fault in the Software as a result of which it fails to perform substantially in accordance with the Documentation, we will, at our sole option, either repair or replace the Software, provided that you make available all the information that may be necessary to assist us in resolving the defect or fault, including sufficient information to enable us to recreate the defect or fault.

4.3 The warranty does not apply:

(a) if the defect or fault in the Software results from you having amended the Software;

(b) if the defect or fault in the Software results from you having used the Software in contravention of the terms of this Licence;

(c) if you have not complied with your obligations under condition 2.1(g) above.

5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

5.1 You acknowledge that the Software has not been developed to meet your individual requirements and that it is therefore your responsibility to ensure that the facilities and functions of the Software as described in the Documentation meet your requirements.

5.2 You acknowledge that the Software may not be free of bugs or errors and you agree that the existence of any minor errors shall not constitute a breach of this Licence.

5.3 We only supply the Software and Documentation for internal use by your business.

5.4 We will not under any circumstances accept any liability whatsoever in relation to any material recorded using the Software and the Device (the Content, which for the avoidance of doubt but without limitation includes all text, information, data, images, audio or video material in whatever medium or form), including without limitation any liability for:

(a) the quality, content, or amount of material so recorded; or

(b) any claims or circumstances arising from the production or use of the Content (whether by the Licensor or a third party); or

(c) any claims that the rights of an individual under the GDPR have been breached in relation to the Content.

You accept full responsibility for the Content and accept as reasonable the exclusions from liability contained in this clause 5.4 because the Licensor cannot exercise any control over the Content or the way in which it is processed by you.

5.5 We shall not under any circumstances whatever be liable to you, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, arising under or in connection with the Licence for:

This maximum cap does not apply to condition 5.7.

5.7 Subject to condition 5.5, condition 5.6 and condition 5.8, the Licensor's liability for infringement of third party intellectual property rights shall be limited to breaches of rights subsisting in the UK.

5.8 Nothing in this Licence shall limit or exclude our liability for:

(a) death or personal injury resulting from our negligence;

(b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;

(c) any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by English law.

8. EVENTS OUTSIDE THE LICENSOR'S CONTROL

9. OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS

9.1 We may transfer our rights and obligations under this Licence to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under this Licence.

9.2 You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under this Licence to another person if we agree in writing.

9.3 This Licence and any document expressly referred to in it constitutes the entire agreement between us and supersedes and extinguishes all previous agreements, promises, assurances, warranties, representations and understandings between us, whether written or oral, relating to its subject matter. You agree that you shall have no remedies in respect of any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether made innocently or negligently) that is not set out in this Licence or any document expressly referred to in it. You agree that you shall have no claim for innocent or negligent misrepresentation or negligent misstatement based on any statement in this in this Licence or any document expressly referred to in it.

9.4 If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under this Licence, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.

9.5 Each of the conditions of this Licence operates separately. If any court or competent authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining conditions will remain in full force and effect.

9.6 This Licence, its subject matter and its formation (and any non-contractual disputes or claims) are governed by English law. We both irrevocably agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
