Upon payment of all applicable fees and subject to the terms of this License, FMI grants to Licensee a non-exclusive, perpetual (unless terminated under Section 6), non-transferable license to make exact object code copies of the Software in the quantity indicated on this License, and use and install each such copy of the Software on a single computer owned or leased by Licensee.
    2. End User License Agreement. The terms and conditions stated in the end user license agreement ("EULA") provided with the Software will govern the use of each respective copy of the Software used under this License, except that the EULA does not constitute the granting of any additional license to the Software.
    3. Upgrades & Updates. If the Software is licensed as an upgrade or update, then Licensee may only use the Software to replace a validly licensed version of the same software. Licensee agrees that the upgrade or update does not constitute the granting of a second license to the Software (i.e., Licensee may not use the upgrade or update in addition to the software it is replacing, nor may Licensee transfer the software which is being replaced to a third party).
    4. Education. If the Software is licensed at an education discount, then the Software may only be used by enrolled students, faculty, teachers and administrators at an accredited K-12 educational institution (or equivalent) or higher education institution organized and operated exclusively for the purpose of teaching its students.
  2. Restrictions. In addition to the restrictions stated in the respective EULA, the following restrictions apply.
    1. Other Limitations. LICENSEE MAY NOT REVERSE ENGINEER, DECOMPILE OR DISASSEMBLE THE SOFTWARE, EXCEPT AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

    2. Restricted Uses. THE SOFTWARE IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN THE OPERATION OF NUCLEAR FACILITIES, AIRCRAFT NAVIGATION OR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEMS, LIFE SUPPORT MACHINES OR OTHER EQUIPMENT IN WHICH THE FAILURE OF THE SOFTWARE COULD LEAD TO DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, OR SEVERE PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE.
    3. Transfer Restriction. LICENSEE MAY NOT TRANSFER OR ASSIGN ITS RIGHTS UNDER THIS LICENSE TO ANOTHER PARTY WITHOUT FMI'S PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT.
  3. Ownership. Licensee owns the media on which the Software is recorded or fixed, but Licensee acknowledges that FMI and its licensors retain ownership of the Software itself. FMI reserves any rights not expressly granted to Licensee. The rights granted are limited to FMI's and its licensors' intellectual property rights in the Software and do not include any other patents or intellectual property rights.
  4. Limited Warranty. FMI warrants for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of purchase of this License that the Software as provided by FMI will perform substantially in accordance with the accompanying documentation. FMI's entire liability and Licensee's sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of the foregoing limited warranty will be, at FMI's option, replacement of the Software, refund of the purchase price or repair or replacement of the Software which is returned to FMI or an FMI authorized representative with a copy of the receipt.

    THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS THE ONLY WARRANTY PROVIDED BY FMI AND FMI AND ITS LICENSORS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS OR OTHER TERMS, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (WHETHER COLLATERALLY, BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE), INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS OR OTHER TERMS OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY AND/OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH REGARD TO THE SOFTWARE AND ACCOMPANYING WRITTEN MATERIALS. FURTHERMORE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY AGAINST INTERFERENCE WITH LICENSEE'S ENJOYMENT OF THE SOFTWARE OR AGAINST INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY PROPRIETARY RIGHTS BY THE SOFTWARE. FMI DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS IN THE SOFTWARE WILL BE CORRECTED. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY FMI OR AN FMI AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY. BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS OR OTHER TERMS THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO LICENSEE. THE TERMS OF THIS DISCLAIMER AND THE LIMITED WARRANTY UNDER THIS SECTION 4 DO NOT AFFECT OR PREJUDICE THE STATUTORY RIGHTS OF A CONSUMER ACQUIRING THE SOFTWARE OTHERWISE THAN IN THE COURSE OF A BUSINESS, NEITHER DO THEY LIMIT OR EXCLUDE ANY LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY FMI'S NEGLIGENCE.
  5. Exclusion and Limitation of Remedies and Damages.
    1. Exclusion. IN NO EVENT WILL FMI, ITS PARENT, SUBSIDIARIES, OR ANY OF ITS LICENSORS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR AFFILIATES OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR SPECIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION AND THE LIKE) OR DIRECT LOSS OF BUSINESS, BUSINESS PROFITS OR REVENUE, WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR UNFORESEEABLE, ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE OR ACCOMPANYING WRITTEN MATERIALS, REGARDLESS OF THE BASIS OF THE CLAIM (WHETHER UNDER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORT OR UNDER STATUTE OR OTHERWISE HOWSOEVER ARISING) AND EVEN IF FMI OR A FMI REPRESENTATIVE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.
    2. Limitation. FMI'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO LICENSEE FOR DAMAGES FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER NOT EXCLUDED BY SECTION 5(a) ABOVE HOWSOEVER CAUSED (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORT, UNDER STATUTE OR OTHERWISE HOWSOEVER ARISING) WILL BE LIMITED TO THE MONEY PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE THAT CAUSED THE DAMAGES. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THIS LIMITATION OF REMEDIES AND DAMAGES PROVISION SHALL BE ENFORCED INDEPENDENTLY OF AND SURVIVE THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY WARRANTY REMEDY. THIS LIMITATION WILL NOT APPLY IN CASE OF DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY FMI'S NEGLIGENCE ONLY WHERE AND TO THE EXTENT THAT APPLICABLE LAW REQUIRES SUCH LIABILITY. BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IN THIS SECTION 5 MAY NOT APPLY TO LICENSEE. NOTHING IN THIS LICENSE AFFECTS OR PREJUDICES THE STATUTORY RIGHTS OF A CONSUMER ACQUIRING THE SOFTWARE OTHERWISE THAN IN THE COURSE OF A BUSINESS.
  6. Termination. If any breach of this License by Licensee continues for more than thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such breach by FMI, FMI may terminate this License by written notice to Licensee, whereupon this License and all rights granted to Licensee herein shall immediately cease. Licensee may terminate this License at any time by providing written notice to FMI. In the event of any termination of this License, Licensee shall promptly return to FMI all copies of the Software or verify in writing that all copies of the Software have been destroyed. Sections 2 through 8 shall survive termination or cancellation of this License.

Otherwise, this License shall be governed by the laws of the United States and the State of California. The parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (1980), as amended, is specifically excluded from application to this License. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Software licensed under these terms, and it supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreement, arrangement and understanding regarding such subject matter. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that it has not relied on any representations made by FMI, however, nothing in this License shall limit or exclude liability for any representation made fraudulently. No amendment to or modification of this License will be binding unless in writing and signed by FMI. If any provision of this License shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions of this License will remain in full force and effect. No failure or delay by FMI in exercising its rights or remedies shall operate as a waiver unless made by specific written notice. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy of FMI shall operate as a waiver or preclude any other or further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.
