ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

DEBENU will not be liable for any loss associated with such an issue nor shall it be considered as a defect of the LICENSED SOFTWARE,

CONTENT.

LICENSEE may use any clip art, photographs, icons, fonts, shapes, animations, sounds, music, video clips, and all other graphic content (collectively, “Content”) included with the LICENSED SOFTWARE, if any, only as stated in the Documentation. If the Documentation does not permit LICENSEE to use the Content, then LICENSEE may not display, modify, reproduce, or distribute any of the Content; and even if the Documentation permits LICENSEE to use the Content, LICENSEE may not distribute the Content on a stand-alone basis such as where the Content constitutes the primary value of whatever LICENSEE is distributing.

Certain portions of the Content may consist of the copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade names, or other intellectual property of third parties. DEBENU has provided these portions of the Content for LICENSEEs’ convenience in using the LICENSED SOFTWARE, pursuant to authorization of their owners. Except for this limited use, LICENSEE may not use any third-party intellectual property identified as belonging to others without the owners’ express authorization. Furthermore:

(1) LICENSEE may not sell, license, distribute (commercially or otherwise), or make available the Content as stand-alone images or sounds, or in catalogs, design books, compilations, collections, templates, designs, stock engravings, products, services, or the like;

(2) LICENSEE may not sell, license, distribute (commercially or otherwise), or make available electronic copies of the Content to third parties in any manner, including without limitation, via the Internet, on any tangible media or by broadcast, that is intended or designed to enable a third party to copy the Content for its own use;

(4) Under no circumstances may the Content be used in the production of defamatory, fraudulent, infringing, lewd, obscene, or pornographic material, or in any otherwise illegal manner.

LICENSEE is solely responsible for LICENSEE’s use of the Content. LICENSEE may only use the Content responsibly, in a manner consistent with the exercise of good judgment. If LICENSEE is having difficulty deciding whether Licensee’s intended use is appropriate, or whether LICENSEE needs written permission, or whether other legal issues should be considered, DEBENU strongly encourages LICENSEE to seek competent legal counsel. DEBENU will not assist LICENSEE in making this determination, nor can DEBENU provide LICENSEE with legal advice as to intellectual property rights.

If LICENSEE or Licensee’s attorney determines that LICENSEE is required by law to obtain written permission to use portions of the Content, LICENSEE must request permission in writing for reproduction, redistribution, or modification of the Content from the appropriate owner of the subject materials (as may be cited in the LICENSED SOFTWARE). If, on the other hand, LICENSEE or LICENSEE’s attorney determines it is permissible to proceed and include Content from the LICENSED SOFTWARE, DEBENU asks LICENSEE to correctly designate DEBENU trademark(s) when referring to the LICENSED SOFTWARE in the notice or copyright portion of Licensee’s paper, project, or product.

LICENSEE shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend DEBENU and DEBENU suppliers from all claims, damages, attorneys’ fees, costs, and lawsuits that arise from, or result from, Licensee’s use or distribution of Content without limitation and howsoever arising.

SOFTWARE UPDATES.

However, LICENSEE may continue to use the previous version only to assist in transitioning to the Updated version. Once an Update has been released, DEBENU may cease support for prior versions, without any notice to LICENSEE. The terms of this LICENSE AGREEMENT shall survive any update save for any new term agreed between the LICENSEE and DEBENU which directly replaces any term of this LICENSE AGREEMENT.

ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR BETA SOFTWARE.

If the LICENSED SOFTWARE that LICENSEE receives with this EULA is pre-commercial release or “BETA” software (“Pre-release-Software”), then, to the extent that any provision in this section is in conflict with any other term or condition in this EULA, this section supersedes such conflicting term(s) and condition(s) as to the Pre-release Software, but only to the extent necessary to resolve the conflict.

LICENSEE acknowledges that the Pre-release Software does not represent the final product from DEBENU, and may contain bugs, errors, and other problems that could cause system or other failures and data loss. Consequently, DEBENU disclaims any warranty or liability obligations to LICENSEE of any kind whatsoever.

DEBENU may decide not to introduce a product similar to, or compatible with, the Pre-release Software. Accordingly, LICENSEE acknowledges that any research or development that LICENSEE performs regarding the Pre-release Software, or any product associated with the Pre-release Software, is done entirely at LICENSEE’s own risk.

During the term of this EULA, if requested by DEBENU, LICENSEE will provide feedback to DEBENU regarding testing and use of the Pre-release Software, including error or bug reports.

If LICENSEE has been provided the Pre-release Software pursuant to a separate written agreement, then LICENSEE’s use of the Pre-release Software is also governed by that agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this EULA to the contrary, LICENSEE will return or destroy all unreleased versions of the Pre-release Software within 30 days of the completion of Licensee’s testing of the Pre-release Software if that date is earlier than the date scheduled for DEBENU’s first commercial shipment of the publicly released(commercial) Software.
