herein as the “Software.”

before opening this package. By opening
it, you indicate your acceptance of, and agreement to, the terms of this
Agreement. If you do not accept these
terms, you must promptly return the Materials in unopened form, and you will
receive a refund of your purchase price.
This Agreement represents the entire agreement between you and BAPCO
concerning the Materials. It supersedes
any prior proposal, representation or understanding between the parties.
1. Grant. BAPCO hereby grants, and USER hereby accepts,
a non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the Materials subject to the
restrictions and conditions set forth below.
2. Copies

agreement with BAPCO or an authorized BAPCO reseller for purchase of the
license herein, specifying USER’s authorized license level as Individual, Small
Business, Business Site, or Enterprise Site, as the case may be. USER’s right to install, duplicate and use
the Software is defined according to the applicable license level, as follows:
□
Individual: USER shall not
permit use of the Software on more than one single computer workstation at any
given time. USER may install the
Software on more than one computer workstation provided that all are located at
a single physical address of USER.

10) computer workstation(s) provided that all are located at a single physical
address of USER.

subsidiary entities, and across USER’s
internal local- or wide-area network, but only for use on the business premises
of USER and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
USER may make one backup copy of
the Materials for USER’s archival use, exact and complete without modification
or merger with any other software (but the number of such backup copies is not
limited in the case of Enterprise Site license level). Except as provided above, USER shall not
duplicate or install and shall not permit any third party to use or copy the
Materials or any copy thereof, and USER shall take reasonable precautions to
prevent its personnel from doing so. In
the event of any unauthorized transfer or copying, USER will pay BAPCO a

instance of any such transfer or copy and any derivative transfers or copies.

benchmark measurement generated by the Software will reflect USER’s system
values, preferences or priorities although BAPCO has strived to make the
Software a relevant and impartial measure for comparing general system
performance and/or battery life on widely used business applications.
