IMPORTANT – READ CAREFULLY: This Agreement is a legal agreement between (“LICENSEE”) (defined below in Background Paragraph 3) and The Arizona Board of Regents on behalf of the University of Arizona, (“ARIZONA”). By installing, copying, downloading, accessing or otherwise using the PROGRAM, LICENSEE agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If LICENSEE does not agree with the terms of this Agreement, do not install, access or use the PROGRAM.
BACKGROUND
1. The University of Arizona has developed a proprietary software application and related documentation, known as “Mind Window”, and further defined in ARIZONA Tech Launch Arizona file UA20-058, (hereinafter referred to as “PROGRAM”).
2. LICENSEE is responsible for acquiring and installing any third-party packages that may be required. ARIZONA accepts no responsibility for the performance of any third-party packages installed, either through operation of the PROGRAM or by LICENSEE.
3. LICENSEE is either: (i) yourself if you accept the Agreement; or (ii) the legal entity you are authorized to represent in accepting this Agreement. You acknowledge that you have the authority to bind LICENSEE to this Agreement.
4. LICENSEE desires to obtain and ARIZONA, consistent with its mission of education and research, desires to grant a license to access and use PROGRAM subject to the terms and conditions set forth below.
The parties therefore agree as follows:
I. LICENSE
ARIZONA hereby grants to LICENSEE a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the PROGRAM, in executable form only, for non-commercial purposes only and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
II. LIMITATION OF LICENSE AND RESTRICTIONS
A. Except as expressly permitted by this agreement, no other use of PROGRAM is permitted, including, but not limited to: (i) use or access for the benefit of, on behalf of, or upon the request of any other party; (ii) reproduction, adaptations, and/or preparation of derivative works; (iii) sale, renting or loaning access to PROGRAM, passwords, or usernames; or (iv) selling services or data that result from the use of PROGRAM. LICENSEE covenants that the contents of PROGRAM are for LICENSEE’S use, and may not be resold, republished, or otherwise distributed to third parties in any form including, but not limited to, via an internet, intranet, or extranet site.
B. LICENSEE shall not assign this Agreement, and any attempt by LICENSEE to assign it shall be void from the beginning. LICENSEE agrees to secure and protect access to PROGRAM in a manner consistent with the maintenance of ARIZONA’S rights in PROGRAM and to take appropriate action by instruction or agreement with its and LICENSEE’S employees who are permitted access to PROGRAM in order to satisfy LICENSEE’S obligations under this Agreement.
III. TITLE AND OWNERSHIP
No ownership rights of ARIZONA in the PROGRAM are conferred upon LICENSEE by this Agreement.
IV. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
A. PROGRAM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ANY WARRANTY THAT THE PROGRAM DOES NOT INFRINGE ANY THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS. ARIZONA DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE DATA AND FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN PROGRAM ARE COMPLETE, ACCURATE OR ERROR-FREE; THAT THEY WILL MEET LICENSEE’S REQUIREMENTS; OR THAT OPERATION WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE. ARIZONA shall not be liable for special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages with respect to any claim on account of or arising from this Agreement or use of PROGRAM, even if ARIZONA has been or is hereafter advised of the possibility of such damages. Because some states do not allow certain exclusions or limitations on implied warranties or of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above exclusions may not apply to LICENSEE. In no event, however, will ARIZONA be liable to LICENSEE, under any theory of recovery, in an amount in excess of the license fee paid by LICENSEE under this Agreement.
B. LICENSEE agrees that ARIZONA has no obligation to provide to LICENSEE any maintenance, support, or update services. Should ARIZONA provide access to and use of any revised versions of PROGRAM, LICENSEE agrees that this Agreement shall apply to such revised versions.
C. Without limiting in any way any of ARIZONA’S disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability, LICENSEE covenants that it will carefully review any documentation or instructional material provided by ARIZONA and acknowledges that it is aware that PROGRAM is intended for noncommercial use only.
D. For clarity, LICENSEE acknowledges THAT ARIZONA SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA CONTAINED OR ENTERED IN THE PROGRAM OR ANY DAMAGES OR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT LOSS.
V. TERM AND TERMINATION
A. If LICENSEE at any time fails to abide by the terms of this Agreement, ARIZONA shall have the right to immediately terminate the license granted herein, require the return or destruction of all copies of the PROGRAM from LICENSEE and certification in writing as to such return or destruction, and pursue any other legal or equitable remedies available.
