EULA - End User License Agreement

This End-User License Agreement (this 'Agreement') is a legal contract between you, as either an individual or a single business entity, and HOTSPOT EXPRESS and its affiliates ('HOTSPOT EXPRESS').

READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE DOWNLOADING HOTSPOT EXPRESS'S PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE1 (the 'Software') OR OBTAINING A LICENSE KEY TO THE SOFTWARE OR USING THE SOFTWARE.

THE SOFTWARE IS COPYRIGHTED AND IT IS LICENSED TO YOU UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, NOT SOLD TO YOU. BY DOWNLOADING THE SOFTWARE OR OBTAINING A LICENSE KEY TO THE SOFTWARE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT, THAT YOU UNDERSTAND IT, AND THAT YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS. IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU SHOULD DELETE THE SOFTWARE, AND REFRAIN FROM ACCESSING OR USING THE SOFTWARE. THIS AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND HOTSPOT EXPRESS CONCERNING THE SOFTWARE, AND THIS AGREEMENT SUPERSEDES AND REPLACES ANY PRIOR PROPOSAL, REPRESENTATION, OR UNDERSTANDING YOU MAY HAVE HAD WITH HOTSPOT EXPRESS RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE.

1. License

1.1. Grant of License. HOTSPOT EXPRESS hereby grants to you, and you accept, a limited, nonexclusive license to use the Software in machine-readable, object code form only, and the user manuals accompanying the Software (the 'Documentation'), only as authorized in this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the 'Software' includes any updates, enhancements, modifications, revisions, or additions to the Software made by HOTSPOT EXPRESS and made available to end-users through HOTSPOT EXPRESS's web site. Notwithstanding the foregoing, HOTSPOT EXPRESS shall be under no obligation to provide any updates, enhancements, modifications, revisions, or additions to the Software.

Provided all other terms and conditions are upheld within this Agreement, you are specifically granted the non-exclusive right to (a) use the Software for the purpose of licensing and monitoring derivative works, including the compilation ("compiling") of subsequent Code, related data, or information, (b) make copies of the derivative works thereof, (c) install the derivative works thereof on additional computing devices, provided you bear full responsibility for the derivative work, and any maintenance and/or support of the derivative work and/or derivative works thereof and (d) pass this Agreement on whenever you distribute derivative works.

1.2. Scope of Use. You may use one copy of the Software activated by a license key on a single server (virtual or physical) owned, leased, or otherwise controlled by you, at a single time. If you have multiple license keys for the Software, you may make and use as many copies of the Software as you have license keys. For purposes of this Agreement, 'use' of the software means loading the Software into the temporary or permanent memory of a computer. Installation of the Software on a network server solely for distribution to other computers is not 'use' of the Software, and is permitted, as long as you have a license key for each server (virtual or physical) to which the Software is distributed. The Software may not be used on or distributed to a greater number of computers than you have license keys. If you use or distribute the Software to multiple users, you must ensure that the number of users does not exceed the number of license keys you have obtained, or you will be in breach of this Agreement.

1.3. Copies and Modifications. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise translate the Software or any license keys you have obtained. You may not modify or adapt the Software or any license keys that you have obtained in any way. You may make one copy of the Software, the Documentation, and any license keys that you have obtained, solely for backup or archival purposes. Any such copies of the Software, Documentation, or license keys shall include any copyright or other proprietary notices that were included on such materials when you first received them. Except as authorized in this Section, no copies of the Software, Documentation, or license keys, or any portions thereof, may be made by you or any person under your authority or control. You may not delete, remove, hide, move or alter any icon, image or text that represents the product name or company name. All representations to the company name "HOTSPOT EXPRESS" must remain as originally distributed regardless of the presence or absence of a trademark or copyright symbol.

1.4. Assignment of Rights. You will not sublicense, lease, rent, or lend your rights in the Software, Documentation, or license keys, as granted by this Agreement, with any third party without prior written consent of HOTSPOT EXPRESS.

Intellectual Property and Confidentiality

This Agreement does not grant you any ownership interest in or to the Software or the Documentation, but only a limited right of use that is revocable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any and all trademarks or service marks that HOTSPOT EXPRESS uses in connection with the Software or with services rendered by HOTSPOT EXPRESS are marks owned by HOTSPOT EXPRESS.
