ASPDOTNETSTOREFRONT END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT

By using or installing any software product created by AspDotNetStorefront, (hereafter referred to as Company) including software components, source code, and the corresponding documentation herein referred to as "Software"), you, as a Developer or Merchant (herein referred to as User) are agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you, as a Developer or Reseller, are purchasing the software for your client, the client is also bound by this agreement, and you must notify them in advance of this end user license agreement which will license their website.

AspDotNetStorefront reserves the right at any time to modify this Agreement and to impose new or additional terms or conditions on your use of Software. Such modifications and additional terms and conditions will be effective immediately and incorporated into this Agreement. Your continued use of the Software will be deemed acceptance thereof.

1. DEFINITIONS

A Website will be defined as a single instance of the Software installed on a single physical or virtual computer, with the database residing on either that computer, or a single separate physical or virtual computer or group of computers that operate from an outside perspective as a single computer (commonly referred to as a database cluster).

A Production Website will be a Website installed and published to fulfill the purpose of making the website accessible to its ultimate intended audience such as User's customers, potential customers, partners, affiliates, employees, or anonymous internet users.

A Development Website is a Website installed privately for the purpose of performing customization, modification, design, or for pre-loading data, including but not limited to, products, categories, and customers.

A Staging Website will be defined as a Website installed and published solely for the purpose of testing changes to the Software or data used by the Software prior to publishing those changes to the Production Website.

2. LICENSE GRANT AND RESTRICTIONS

In consideration for the license fee paid at time of purchase and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Company grants to User a non-exclusive, non-transferrable, non-sub licensable, worldwide right to use the Software to develop and deploy:

  • One (1) production database/website.
  • One (1) development database/website, and
  • One (1) staging database/website

 

per license purchased. User must also take all commercially reasonable steps to prevent unauthorized use or duplication of Company's code. Under specific circumstances, Company may grant to User additional licenses to be used exclusively for development purposes and/or staging purposes. Such additional licenses are hereby subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Licenses may be transferred (with prior written consent and approval of Company, which is never unreasonably withheld) and by following Company specified license transfer procedures. By way of example, if User purchases a license as contemplated herein on behalf of a customer of User or otherwise intends to transfer such license to a customer of User, User MUST first obtain prior written consent and approval of Company to effect such transfer, and MUST follow all Company specified license transfer procedures. Any attempted transfer not in compliance with this Section 2 shall render the transfer null and void and any license granted to User for the purpose of such transfer shall immediately terminate. As of such termination, use of any Software subject to such terminated license grant will be deemed infringement of Company's intellectual property rights, subjecting any such user to all damages and remedies available to Company for such infringement.

The license grant of this Section 2 is also intended to allow User to integrate the Software into its applications provided:

  • User retains all copyright notices of Company in any products using the Software.
  • User prevents unauthorized use or duplication of Company's code as contained within any product(s) of User.
  • User may not resell, rent, lease or distribute the Software alone. The Software may only be sold and distributed as an integrated part of an application or system created by User. Resellers must obtain written permission prior to reselling Company's Software.
  • User agrees that Software that is distributed as shareware or a demo may only be used for testing and evaluation purposes.

User is not permitted under any circumstances to make modifications to the Software or the Website's visual design, or otherwise take action to hide, obscure, or make this text unreadable in any manner.

Users that Company, in its sole discretion, are deemed to be in violation of this section will be required to immediately purchase any additional licenses required to comply with this Agreement.

Should User desire to deploy the software in an environment which enables multiple servers to publish a single Website for redundancy or performance reasons (commonly referred to as load balancing or server farms), User is required to purchase supplementary server farm licenses for each licensed Website to be deployed in such an environment.
