PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING OR USING THE SOFTWARE OR ANY ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTATION (COLLECTIVELY, THE "SOFTWARE").

THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT ("AGREEMENT") GOVERN USE OF THE SOFTWARE UNLESS YOU AND BLOOMBASE, INC. ("BLOOMBASE") HAVE EXECUTED A SEPARATE AGREEMENT GOVERNING USE OF THE SOFTWARE.

Bloombase is willing to license the Software to you only upon the condition that you accept all the terms contained in this Agreement. By clicking on the "I accept" button below or by downloading, installing, or using the Software, you have indicated that you understand this Agreement and accept all of its terms. If you are accepting the terms of this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that company or other legal entity to the terms of this Agreement, and, in such event, "you" and "your" will refer to that company or other legal entity. If you do not accept all the terms of this Agreement, then Bloombase is unwilling to license the Software to you, and you must return the Software to Bloombase for a full refund, if you have paid for the license to the Software, or, if Bloombase has made the Software available to you without charge, you must destroy all copies of the Software. Your right to return the Software for a refund expires 30 days after the date of purchase.

1. Grant of License

Conditioned upon your compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bloombase grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license, during the term of this Agreement, to Execute (as defined herein) the executable form of the Software on the maximum number of virtual processors for hypervisors, processor-cores for multi-core processors, or processor-units for single-core processors for which you have purchased licenses and are granted licenses in your license key, solely for your internal business purposes, which may include without limitation: (i) developing, prototyping, and running your applications for your internal data processing operations; and (ii) providing demonstrations and training internally or to third parties regarding the Software. You may make a single copy of the Software for backup purposes, provided that you reproduce on it all copyright and other proprietary notices that are on the original copy of the Software. Bloombase reserves all rights in the Software not expressly granted to you in this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, "Execute" and "Execution" means to load, install, and run the Software in order to benefit from its functionality as designed by Bloombase.

2. Restrictions

Except as expressly specified in this Agreement, you may not: (a) copy (except in the course of loading or installing) or modify the Software, including but not limited to adding new features or otherwise making adaptations that alter the functioning of the Software; (b) transfer, sublicense, lease, lend, rent, or otherwise distribute the Software to any third party; or (c) make the functionality of the Software available to multiple users through any means, including without limitation: (i) by permitting use of the Software on virtual processors, processor-cores, or processor-units in excess of the number for which you have purchased licenses; or (ii) by uploading the Software to a network or file-sharing service or through any hosting, application services provider, service bureau, software-as-a-service (SaaS), or any other type of services. You acknowledge and agree that portions of the Software, including but not limited to the source code and the specific design and structure of individual modules or programs, constitute or contain trade secrets of Bloombase and its licensors. Accordingly, you agree not to disassemble, decompile, or reverse engineer the Software, in whole or in part, or permit or authorize a third party to do so, except to the extent such activities are expressly permitted by law notwithstanding this prohibition.

3. No Use of Software with Open Source

You agree not to use the Software in connection with any software or other materials that are distributed as "free software," "open source software" or similar licensing or distribution terms in a way that would create, or purport to create, obligations for Bloombase to grant, or purport to grant, to any third party any rights in the Software, including but not limited to, requiring the Software to be disclosed or distributed in source code form, licensed for the purpose of making derivative works, or redistributed at no charge.

4. Verification and Audit

At Bloombase's written request, you will furnish Bloombase with a certification signed by you (if you enter into this Agreement as an individual) or by an officer of your company or other legal entity (if you enter into this Agreement on behalf of your company or other legal entity) verifying that the Software is being used pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and any applicable orders. Upon at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice, Bloombase may audit your use of the Software to ensure that you are in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and any applicable order. Any such audit will be conducted during regular business hours at your facilities and will not unreasonably interfere with your business activities. You will provide Bloombase with access to the relevant records and facilities. If an audit reveals that you have underpaid fees to Bloombase during the period audited, then Bloombase will invoice you, and you will promptly pay Bloombase, for such underpaid fees based on Bloombase's price list in effect at the time the audit is completed. If the underpaid fees exceed five percent (5%) of the license fees paid by you for the Software, then you will also pay Bloombase's reasonable costs of conducting the audit.

5. Ownership

You own the media on which the Software is recorded, if any, but Bloombase retains ownership of the copy of the Software itself, including all intellectual property rights therein.
