The Software is protected by law, including but not limited to the copyright laws of the United States and other countries, and by international treaty provisions. Except as expressly stated herein, this agreement does not grant Customer any intellectual property rights in the Software. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by Quadric and its suppliers.

4.6.2 Except with Pre-release Software (as defined in Section 13.2), Evaluation Software, not-for-resale copies of the Software, or Software obtained through an Quadric volume license program and further subject to Section 4.6.3, Customer may permanently transfer all its rights to use the Software to another individual or legal entity provided that: (a) Customer also transfers (i) this agreement, (ii) the serial number(s), the Software affixed to media provided by Quadric or its authorized distributor, and all other software or hardware bundled, packaged, or pre-installed with the Software, including all copies, Updates, and Prior Versions (as defined in Section 5, below), and (iii) all copies of font software to such individual or entity; (b) Customer retains no Updates, Prior Versions, or copies, including backups and copies stored on a Computer; and (c) the receiving party accepts the terms and conditions of this agreement and any other terms and conditions under which Customer purchased a valid license to the Software.

  1. Updates.

If the Software is an Update to a prior version of Quadric software (the “Prior Version”), then Customer’s use of this Update is conditional upon its retention of the Prior Version. Therefore, if Customer validly transfers this Update pursuant to Section 4.6, the Customer must transfer the Prior Version along with it. If Customer wishes to use this Update in addition to the Prior Version, then Customer may only do so on the same Computer on which it has installed and is using the Prior Version. Any obligations that Quadric may have to support Prior Versions during the License Term may end upon the availability of this Update. No other use of the Update is permitted. Additional Updates may be licensed to Customer by Quadric with additional or different terms.

  1. Limited Warranty.

Except as otherwise stated in a separate agreement between Quadric and a Software licensee, Quadric warrants to the individual or entity that first purchases a license for the Software for use pursuant to the terms of this agreement that the Software will perform substantially in accordance with the corresponding user manual for the Software for the shorter period of (a) the ninety (90) day period or (b) License Term following receipt of the Software (“Warranty Period”) when used on the Compatible Computer. Non-substantial variation of performance from the user manual does not establish a warranty right. This limited warranty does not apply to the following, which are made available AS-IS and without warranty from Quadric : (i) patches; (ii) font software; (iii) Pre-release Software, trial, starter, evaluation, product sampler, Evaluation Software, and not-for-resale copies of the Software; (iv) websites, Quadric Online Services; and Third Party Online Services; (v) Certified Document Services (see Section 13); and (vi) any software made available by Quadric for free via web download from an Quadric website. All warranty claims must be made, along with proof of purchase, to the Quadric Customer Support Department within such Warranty Period. Additional information on warranty claims is available via email at info@quadricsoftware.com. The entire liability of Quadric and its affiliates related to such warranty claim and Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy under any warranty will be limited to either, at Quadric’s option, support of the Software based on the warranty claim, replacement of the Software, or, if support or replacement is not practicable at Quadric’s determination, refund of the license or latest Membership fee Customer paid for the Software (if any). THE LIMITED WARRANTY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION GIVES CUSTOMER SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS. CUSTOMER MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS UNDER LAW WHICH MAY VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. Quadric DOES NOT SEEK TO LIMIT CUSTOMER’S WARRANTY RIGHTS TO ANY EXTENT NOT PERMITTED BY LAW. Please see Section 16 for jurisdiction-specific provisions or contact the Quadric Customer Support Department.

  1. Limitation of Liability.

EXCEPT FOR THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OFFERED BY QUADRIC ABOVE AND ANY REMEDIES THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER LAW, QUADRIC, ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, AND CERTIFICATE AUTHORITIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGES, CLAIMS, OR COSTS WHATSOEVER INCLUDING ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, ANY LOST PROFITS OR LOST SAVINGS, ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, PERSONAL INJURY OR FAILURE TO MEET ANY DUTY OF CARE, OR CLAIMS BY A THIRD PARTY, EVEN IF AN Quadric REPRESENTATIVE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS, DAMAGES, CLAIMS, OR COSTS. IN ANY EVENT, QUADRIC’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY AND THAT OF ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, AND CERTIFICATE AUTHORITIES UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE, IF ANY. THIS LIMITATION WILL APPLY EVEN IN THE EVENT OF A FUNDAMENTAL OR MATERIAL BREACH OR A BREACH OF THE FUNDAMENTAL OR MATERIAL TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. Nothing contained in this agreement limits Quadric’s liability to Customer in the event of death or personal injury resulting from Quadric’s negligence or for the tort of deceit (fraud).

Unless otherwise specified in Sections 12.1.1 through 13.4.1, the following provisions apply to all automatic Internet connections by the Software:

12.1.1 Whenever the Software makes an Internet connection and communicates with a Quadric website, whether automatically or due to explicit user request, the Privacy Policy shall apply.

12.3 Activation. The Software may require Customer to (a) obtain an Quadric installation ID, (b) activate or reactivate the Software, (c) register the software, or (d) validate the Membership.

Once connected, the Software will collect and transmit information to Quadric. Software or Customer may also receive information from Quadric related to Customer’s license, subscription, or Membership. Quadric may use such information to detect or prevent fraudulent or unauthorized use not in accordance with a valid license, subscription, or Membership. Failure to activate or register the Software, validate the subscription or Membership, or a determination by Quadric of fraudulent or unauthorized use of the Software may result in reduced functionality, inoperability of the Software, or a termination or suspension of the subscription or Membership.

13.1 Pre-release Software Additional Terms. If the Software is pre-commercial release or beta software (“Pre-release Software”), then this section applies. The Pre-release Software does not represent final product from Quadric, and may contain bugs, errors, and other problems that could cause system or other failures and data loss. Quadric may never commercially release the Pre-release Software. If Customer received the Pre-release Software pursuant to a separate written agreement, such as the Quadric License Agreement for Pre-release Software, then Customer’s use of the Software is also governed by such agreement.

CUSTOMER’S USE OF PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE IS AT ITS OWN RISK. SEE SECTIONS 6 AND 8 FOR LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIABILITY LIMITATIONS RELATED TO PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE.

Examples of such Quadric Online Services might include, but are not limited to, Quadric A3. In some cases an Quadric Online Service might appear as a feature or extension within the Software even though it is hosted on a website. Access to an Quadric Online Service may require Customer to activate the Software, obtain an Quadric ID, consent to Additional Terms of Use, or require a separate fee in order to access such Quadric Online Services. Quadric Online Services might not be available in all languages or to residents of all countries and Quadric may, at any time and for any reason, modify or discontinue the availability of any Quadric Online Service.

13.3 EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY AGREED BY QUADRIC OR ITS AFFILIATES OR A THIRD PARTY IN A SEPARATE AGREEMENT, CUSTOMER’S USE OF QUADRIC ONLINE SERVICES AND THIRD PARTY ONLINE SERVICES IS AT ITS OWN RISK UNDER THE WARRANTY AND LIABILITY LIMITATIONS OF SECTIONS 7 AND 8.
