IF YOU ARE ACCESSING THE SOFTWARE ELECTRONICALLY, SIGNIFY YOUR AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE BY CLICKING THE AGREE/ACCEPT BUTTON. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE, DO NOT USE THE SOFTWARE AND CLICK DISAGREE/DECLINE IF YOU ARE ACCESSING THE SOFTWARE ELECTRONICALLY.

1. General. The software and documentation accompanying this License whether on disk, in read only memory, on any other media or in any other form (collectively the "Software") are licensed, not sold, to you by Eugene W. Stark (the "Author") for use only under the terms of this License, and the Author reserves all rights not expressly granted to you. The rights granted herein are limited to the Author's intellectual property rights in the Software and do not include any other patents or intellectual property rights. You own the media on which the Software is recorded but the Author retains ownership of the Software itself. The terms of this License will govern any software upgrades provided by the Author that replace and/or supplement the original Software product, unless such upgrade is accompanied by a separate license in which case the terms of that license will govern.

2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
A. This License allows you to install the Software on a small number of computers for your own personal use. Except as explicitly permitted under the conditions of paragraph D of this Section, you may not use the Software on more than one computer at a time, and you may not make the Software available over a network where it could be copied and/or used by persons other than you. You may make a reasonable number of copies of the Software in machine-readable form for backup purposes only; provided that each backup copy must include all copyright or other proprietary notices contained on the original.

B. Except as and only to the extent permitted in this License and by applicable law, you may not copy, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, modify, or create derivative works of the Software or any part thereof.

C. You may not attempt to disable or circumvent the key file ("license file") mechanism used by the Software to prevent its unauthorized use. Except as explicitly permitted under the conditions of paragraph D of this Section, you may not distribute any key files, make any key files available over a network where they could be copied and/or used by persons other than you, or make any copies of key files other than those that are part of your own installed and backup copies of the Software permitted under the terms of this License.

D. Some versions of the Software may have the capability of being "used as an applet", which refers to a particular mode of use in which the Software is transmitted over a network from a server computer to a client computer and executed on the client computer in a limited fashion. For such versions of the Software, you are permitted to place a copy of the Software on a server computer and to permit the Software to be transmitted to client computers, for the sole purpose of its being used as an applet. To enable the Software to function as an applet will require that a special key file, called an "applet key file", also be placed on the server computer, to be transmitted to the client computer in conjunction with the Software. The applet key file, which is not the same as any key file issued to you to enable the software for your own private use, may upon request and at the Author's discretion be provided to you by the Author specifically to enable the Software to function as an applet when transmitted to a client computer by a particular server computer. You may not distribute the Software for use as an applet unless the Author has provided you with an applet key file specific to the particular server computer from which the Software will be transmitted. In case the Author has provided you with an applet key file specific to a particular server computer, you are also permitted to transmit that applet key file from that particular server computer to a client computer for the purpose of enabling the Software to be used as an applet on that client computer. You may not distribute or make available in any fashion any key file other than an applet key file that has been issued specifically for a particular server computer. In particular, you may not distribute or make available in any fashion any key file issued to you to enable the software for your own private use.

3. Transfer. You may not rent, lease, lend, redistribute or sublicense the Software.

4. Termination. This License is effective until terminated. Your rights under this License will terminate automatically without notice from the Author if you fail to comply with any term(s) of this License. Upon the termination of this License, you shall cease all use of the Software and destroy all copies, full or partial, of the Software.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties. YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT USE OF THE SOFTWARE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK AND THAT THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO SATISFACTORY QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, ACCURACY AND EFFORT IS WITH YOU. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND THE AUTHOR HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE, EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OF ACCURACY, OF QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. THE AUTHOR DOES NOT WARRANT AGAINST INTERFERENCE WITH YOUR ENJOYMENT OF THE SOFTWARE, THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE SOFTWARE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, 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 THE AUTHOR SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY. SHOULD THE SOFTWARE PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR LIMITATIONS ON APPLICABLE STATUTORY RIGHTS OF A CONSUMER, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION AND LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

6. Limitation of Liability. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHOR BE LIABLE FOR PERSONAL INJURY, OR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR ANY OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, HOWEVER CAUSED, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF THE AUTHOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY, OR OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. In no event shall the Author's total liability to you for all damages (other than as may be required by applicable law in cases involving personal injury) exceed the amount of fifty dollars ($50.00). The foregoing limitations will apply even if the above stated remedy fails of its essential purpose.

7. Controlling Law and Severability. This License will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, as applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within New York between New York residents. This License shall not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision, or portion thereof, to be unenforceable, the remainder of this License shall continue in full force and effect.

8. Complete Agreement; Governing Language. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the use of the Software licensed hereunder and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings regarding such subject matter. No amendment to or modification of this License will be binding unless in writing and signed by the Author. Any translation of this License is done for local requirements and in the event of a dispute between the English and any non-English versions, the English version of this License shall govern.
