YOU AGREE TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS EULA BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, COPYING, OR OTHERWISE USING A PRODUCT OR ANY PART THEREOF. YOU SHALL BE DEEMED TO AFFIRM YOUR AGREEMENT TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS EULA WITH RESPECT TO ALL PRODUCTS EACH TIME YOU DOWNLOAD, INSTALL, COPY OR USE ANY PRODUCT OR ANY PART THEREOF. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT DOWNLOAD, INSTALL, COPY OR USE ANY PRODUCT OR ANY PART THEREOF.
The Products:
Toontrack Music offers a wide range of products and this EULA and its terms apply to all of our products. The descriptions, contents and functionalities of each Product are described on the Toontrack Music website, on the Product packaging and/or in the documentation that accompanies the Product. The term “Product” or “Product component” as used in this EULA may include software, software programs, software tools, plug-ins, sounds, sound collections, sound arrangements, sound libraries, MIDI files, MIDI packs, presets, preset files, documentation, images and/or other content as a whole, as collections or as single files.
GRANT OF LICENSE. Toontrack Music grants you the following non-exclusive, perpetual rights provided you comply with all terms and conditions of this EULA.
INSTALLATION. You (one user) may download, install and use a Product on one computer or on more than one computer only if these computers form a single production unit or constitute separate workstations necessary for the task at hand and belong to the same owner. The number of concurrent installations of a Product is limited by the provisions or authorization process on the Toontrack Music website or the copy protection system included in a Product. If the Product does not have a copy protection system, no more than two concurrent installations are permitted. The number of permitted concurrent installations are subject to change without notice.
NO MODIFICATION. Except as set forth in Section 6 (Terms of Use), you may not modify or create derivative works in whole or in part based on any one of, or on any part of, a Product. You may not permit third parties to benefit from the use or functionality of a Product or any part thereof through a timesharing, service bureau or other arrangement.
LICENSE TRANSFERS.
(i) Permitted Transfers. You may transfer a Product to a computer or computers you own other than the computer(s) on which such Product was originally installed provided you comply with the provisions of this EULA. You may transfer your license to a Product (a “License”) if you (a) notify us of the transfer and provide us: (i) the Product name, (ii) the Product serial number and (iii) the name and email address of the new holder of the License (the “New Holder”) and (b) remove your copy of the Product from your computer, server and other back-up device or service or otherwise render it unusable. License transfers may be subject to a transfer fee.
(ii) Prohibited Transfers. You may not transfer partial Licenses (that is, if your License allows for multiple users then the transfer must include all such user Licenses). If a Product consists of multiple Product components with separate installers, serial numbers and/or authorization processes, you may not separately transfer the Licenses to the Product components. If you hold a License to a Product upgrade that requires you to hold a License to a prior version of that Product, you may not transfer the License to the prior version of the Product. If you transfer a License to a Product that has certain requirements, for example, an upgrade that requires the holder of the License to hold a License to a prior version of the Product, then the New Holder must also fulfill those requirements. If any free Product components are added to your Toontrack account, either for your convenience or for compatibility purposes, then you may not transfer the License to the free Product components. Any free Product components may be removed from your account without prior notice at Toontrack’s sole discretion. You may not rent or sublicense any Product, Product component or License.
(iii) Violations. Your failure to notify us regarding a transfer of a License may result in the New Holder not having access to the Product, our support services or Product updates. If you have transferred a License in violation of this EULA, you agree to indemnify us and hold us harmless regarding any claims made by the New Holder. All New Holders will be subject to this EULA. Accordingly, you must notify the New Holder that the transferred License will continue to be subject to this EULA.
NOT FOR RESALE SOFTWARE. Any Product identified as “Not for Resale”, “NFR”, “Evaluation Copy”, “Demo” or some other similar identification and Products that are provided without charge are collectively referred to herein as “Demo Software.” You are granted the warranties and remedies set forth herein only with respect to Product licenses that you have purchased and with respect to which you have complied with all provisions of this EULA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Demo Software:
(i) may only be used for the purpose of demonstration, test or evaluation of a Product (except with respect to Products that are bundled with other third-party products or where we expressly provide that the limitations set forth in this subparagraph (i) do not apply) or the purpose of promoting the Product or other Toontrack products;
(ii) may not have all the functionality or features of a Product for which you have purchased a License;
(iii) is provided with no representations or warranties whatsoever, including without limitation the warranties in Section 13 hereof, but is provided solely on an “AS IS, WHERE IS” basis; and
(iv) will not be provided any support or maintenance, and you will receive no upgrades, updates or supplements for the Demo Software.
You are not entitled to transfer or sublicense Demo Software to any person or entity. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, you are not entitled to any remedies, monetary or replacement, with respect to Demo Software provided to you. Although the Demo Software does not have all the rights of a fully registered or licensed Product, you nevertheless agree to be bound by the obligations and acknowledgements herein with respect to each Product.
