You may not use the software on any other device. StatFame Software is licensed "per licensed device," sometimes also referred to as "user."

Hardware or software you use to pool connections, or reduce the number of devices or users that directly access or use the software (sometimes referred to as "multiplexing" or "pooling"), does not reduce the number of licenses you need.

Additional License Limitations.

The license granted to you in Section 1 is subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 1 and 2 (collectively, the "License Limitations"). Any use of the SOFTWARE in violation of the License Limitations will be regarded as an infringement of StatFame’s copyrights in and to the SOFTWARE. You agree that you will not, under any circumstances: A. in whole or in part, copy, photocopy, reproduce, translate, reverse engineer, derive source code from, modify, disassemble, decompile, or create derivative works based on the SOFTWARE; provided, however, that you may make one (1) copy of the SOFTWARE Client and the User Manuals for archival purposes only;

You also agree that you will not access, use, distribute, copy, display, reverse engineer, derive source code from, modify, disassemble, decompile any Locked Software, or create any derivative works based on the Locked Software, until and unless you receive from StatFame (a) a license to use that software; and (b) a valid alphanumeric key with which to unlock it. If you receive a license and a key from StatFame, you may only unlock those portions of a single copy of the Locked Software for which you received a license.

Your installation and use of any of StatFame’s updates or modifications to the SOFTWARE or your continued use of the SOFTWARE following notice of changes to this Agreement will demonstrate your acceptance of any and all such changes. StatFame may change, modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the SOFTWARE at any time. StatFame may also impose limits on certain features or restrict your access to parts or all of the SOFTWARE without notice or liability. You have no interest, monetary or otherwise, in any feature or content contained in the SOFTWARE.

Dispute Resolution and Governing Law.

A. Informal Negotiations. To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim related to this License Agreement ("Dispute"), you and StatFame agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least 30 days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one person to the other. StatFame will send its notice to your billing address and email you a copy to the email address you have provided to us. You will request a contact address through the StatFame Software website (www.StatFame.com) where you may send your notice.

B. Binding Arbitration. If you and StatFame are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, either you or StatFame may elect to have the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAAs Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. The determination of whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this License Agreement, you and StatFame may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

C. Restrictions. You and StatFame agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between StatFame and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (1) no arbitration shall be joined with any other; (2) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (3) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

D. Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration. You and StatFame agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (1) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or StatFame’s intellectual property rights; (2) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (3) any claim for injunctive relief.

E. Governing Law. Except as otherwise set forth herein, this License Agreement shall be governed by, and will be construed under, the Laws of the United States of America, without regard to choice of law principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.

F. Severability. You and StatFame agree that if any portion Section 15 is found illegal or unenforceable (except any portion of 15(D)) that portion shall be severed and the remainder of the Section shall be given full force and effect. If Section 15(D) is found to be illegal or unenforceable then neither you nor StatFame will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of Section 15(D) found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction and you and StatFame agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

Miscellaneous.

This License Agreement constitutes and contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior oral or written agreements, provided, however, that this Agreement shall coexist with, and shall not supersede, the Terms of Use. To the extent that the provisions of this Agreement conflict with the provisions of the Terms of Use, the conflicting provisions in the Terms of Use shall govern. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, that provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Agreement shall be given full force and effect.

I hereby acknowledge that I have read and understand the foregoing License Agreement and agree that by clicking "Accept" or installing the SOFTWARE Client I am acknowledging my agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this License Agreement.
