This End User License Agreement (EULA) is a CONTRACT between you (either an individual or a single entity) and Wingware, which covers your use of "Wing Pro" and related software components. All such software is referred to herein as the "Software Product." A software license and a license key or serial number ("Software Product License"), issued to a designated user, only by Wingware or its authorized agents, is required for each user of the Software Product. If you do not agree to the terms of this EULA, then do not install or use the Software Product or the Software Product License. By using this software you acknowledge and agree to be bound by the following terms:

Some Software Product Licenses for this Software Product have an expiration date that causes most of the features of the Software Product to be disabled after the expiration date. WINGWARE BEARS NO LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM USE OR ATTEMPTED USE OF THE SOFTWARE PRODUCT AFTER THE EXPIRATION DATE OF AN EXPIRING SOFTWARE PRODUCT LICENSE AND HAS NO DUTY TO PROVIDE ANY SUPPORT AFTER THE EXPIRATION DATE OF AN EXPIRING SOFTWARE PRODUCT LICENSE.

Wingware grants you and your affliates the non-exclusive right for a single user to use this Software Product for each license purchased. Each additional user of the Software Product requires an additional Software Product License. This includes users working on operating systems where the Software Product is compiled from source code by the user or a third party.

Wingware grants you the right to modify, alter, improve, or enhance the Software Product without limitation, except as described in this EULA.

Although rights to modification of the Software Product are granted by this EULA, you may not tamper with, alter, or use the Software Product in a way that disables, circumvents, or otherwise defeats its built-in licensing verification and enforcement capabilities. The right to modification of the Software Product also does not include the right to remove or alter any trademark, logo, copyright or other proprietary notice, legend, symbol or label in the Software Product.

You may at your discretion distribute patch files containing any modifications or improvements made to the Software Product. This right does not include the right to distribute substantial portions of the original source, where distribution rights are limited to contextual information normally existing in software patch files.

You may at your discretion designate license terms, open source or otherwise, for all modifications or improvements made by you. Wingware has no special rights to any such modifications or improvements.

You may make copies of the Software Product as reasonably necessary for its use. Each copy must reproduce all copyright and other proprietary rights notices on or in the Software Product.

You may install your Software Product License only on computer systems and user accounts that are used by you, the licensee. You may also make copies of the Software Product License as necessary for backup and/or archival purposes. No other copies or installations may be made.

All rights not expressly granted to you are retained by Wingware.

2.1 NON-COMMERCIAL USE LICENSES

Wingware provides Non-Commercial Use licenses to the following types of users: (a) publicly funded charities, (b) universities, colleges, and other educational institutions (including, but not limited to elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, and community colleges), (c) students at any of these types of educational institutions, (d) individuals or entities who are under contract by the above-stated organizations and using the Software Product exclusively for such charitable or educational clients, (d) other individual users who use the Software Product for unpaid personal use only (for example, unpaid hobby, learning, or entertainment), and (e) individuals and entities that have received from Wingware express written permission to use the Software Product for other purposes.

Non-Commercial Use licenses purchased by companies; organizations other than publicly funded charities; government divisions, agencies, or offices; or any other individual or entity not described in the preceding paragraph are invalid and may not be used until the license is upgraded by paying the price difference between the Non-Commercial Use and Commercial Use license for the Software Product.

Wingware, a Delaware corporation, reserves the right to further clarify the terms of Non-Commercial Use at its sole determination.

2.2 COUNTRY OR REGION OF USE

Software Product licenses that are not designated as geographically restricted are worldwide licenses and may be used in any country or region.

Some discounted Software Product licenses issued by Wingware are designated as geographically restricted, and may be used only within a specific country or region. These licenses are invalid and may not be used in any other country or region. Geographically restricted licenses may fail to function outside of the designated country or region until they are upgraded for worldwide use by paying the price difference between the discounted geographically restricted license and worldwide license.

The Software Product is owned by Wingware and is protected by United States and international copyright laws and treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties. You must not remove or alter any copyright notices on any copies of the Software Product. This Software Product copy is licensed, not sold. You may not use, copy, or distribute the Software Product, except as granted by this EULA, without written authorization from Wingware or its designated agents. Furthermore, this EULA does not grant you any rights in connection with any trademarks or service marks of Wingware. Wingware reserves all intellectual property rights, including copyrights, and trademark rights.

You may not rent, lease, lend, or in any way distribute or transfer any rights in this EULA or the Software Product to third parties without Wingware's written approval.

However, companies that purchase a Commercial Use license may from time to time, as employees come and go or roles change, transfer that license to another individual, provided that the prior user of the license ceases to use the license immediately after the transfer has been made.

All transfers of a license to another individual are subject to the recipient's acceptance of the terms of the EULA and are null and void in the event that the prior user continues to use the license or otherwise fails to relinquish their rights to the Software Product.

You hereby agree to indemnify Wingware against and hold harmless Wingware from any claims, lawsuits or other losses that arise out of your breach of any provision of this EULA.

Any software provided along with the Software Product that is associated with a separate license agreement is licensed to you under the terms of that license agreement. This license does not apply to those portions of the Software Product. Copies of these third party licenses are listed in the documentation included with the Software Product.

WINGWARE MAKES NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND FOR THESE MATERIALS AND ASSUMES NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY USE OF THESE MATERIALS.
