package ("Program") on a single computer (one central processing unit and associated monitor and keyboard) and (ii) make one archival copy of the
Program for use with the same computer. LICENSOR retains all rights to the Program not expressly granted in this Agreement.
OWNERSHIP OF PROGRAMS AND COPIES. This license is not a sale of the original Program or any copies. LICENSOR retains the ownership of
the Program and all subsequent copies of the Program made by you, regardless of the form in which the copies may exist. The Program and
accompanying manuals ("Documentation") are copyrighted works of authorship and contain valuable trade secrets and confidential information
proprietary to LICENSOR. You agree to exercise reasonable efforts to protect LICENSOR'S proprietary interest in the Program and Documentation
and maintain them in strict confidence.
USER RESTRICTIONS. You may physically transfer some Programs from one computer to another provided that the Program is operated only on
one computer. Other Programs will operate only with the computer that has the same security code and cannot be physically transferred to another
computer. You may not electronically transfer the Program or operate it in a time-sharing or service bureau operation. You agree not to translate,
modify, adapt, disassemble, de-compile, or reverse engineer the Program, or create derivative works based on the Program or Documentation or any

temporary or permanent basis, without the prior written consent of LICENSOR.
TERMINATION. This License is effective until terminated. This License will terminate automatically without notice from LICENSOR if you fail to
comply with any provision of this License. Upon termination you must cease all use of the Program and Documentation and return them, and any
copies thereof, to LICENSOR.
GENERAL. This License shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Oregon, United States of America.

defects for a period of NINETY (90) DAYS, and (ii) the Program will perform substantially in accordance with the material descriptions in the
Documentation for a period of NINETY (90) DAYS. These warranties commence on the day you first obtain the Program and extend only to you, the
original customer. These limited warranties give you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights, which vary from state to state.
Except as specified above, LICENSOR MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE
PROGRAM, MEDIA OR DOCUMENTATION AND HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. LICENSOR does not warrant the Program will meet your requirements or that its operations will be
uninterrupted or error-free.

cost to you, or refund your money, provided you return the item, with proof of the date you obtained it, to LICENSOR within TEN (10) DAYS after
the expiration of the applicable warranty period. If LICENSOR determines that the particular item has been damaged by accident, abuse, misuse or
misapplication, has been modified without the written permission of LICENSOR, or if any LICENSOR label or serial number has been removed or
defaced, the limited warranties set forth above do not apply and you accept full responsibility for the product.
The warranties and remedies set forth above are exclusive and in lieu of all others, oral or written, express or implied. Statements or representations

negligence), strict liability, or otherwise even if LICENSOR has been advised of the possibility of such claim or damage. LICENSOR'S liability for
direct damages shall not exceed the actual amount paid for this copy of the Program.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above
limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
If the Program is acquired for use by or on behalf of a unit or agency of the United States Government, the Program and Documentation are provided
with "Restricted Rights". Use, duplication, or disclosure by the Government is subject to restrictions as set forth in subparagraph (c)(1)(ii) of the
