IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE SOFTWARE:
This Carlson Office Product Software End User License Agreement (this “EULA”)
is by and between the entity identified on the applicable invoice, order form, and/or
registration form (the “Licensee”) and Carlson Software, Inc. (“Carlson”) and governs
the Licensee’s use of the office product software that accompanies this EULA or is
identified on the accompanying order form, invoice, and/or registration form (the
“Software”). By indicating that You, the person executing this EULA, agree or accept this
EULA on behalf of Licensee, You make the representations set forth in Section 9(b) of
this EULA and agree that You Yourself and the Licensee will comply with the terms
governing the use of the Software set forth in this EULA.
BY CLICKING “I AGREE” OR BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU AGREE THAT
LICENSEE WILL BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS EULA. IF LICENSEE DOES NOT
AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS EULA, LICENSEE MUST NOT DOWNLOAD, INSTALL, OR USE THE SOFTWARE
AND CARLSON DOES NOT LICENSE YOU OR THE LICENSEE TO USE THE SOFTWARE OR ACCOMPANYING
USER MANUALS, TECHNICAL MANUALS, AND ANY OTHER MATERIALS CARLSON PROVIDES THAT
DESCRIBE INSTALLATION, OPERATION, USE OR SPECIFICATIONS OF THE SOFTWARE (THE
“DOCUMENTATION”).
- License Grant.
- License. The Software is licensed, not sold. All copies of the Software remain the
property of Carlson. Licenses of Software may only be obtained from Carlson directly or
through it’s authorized distribution network. Licenses obtained from any other source are
not legitimate, authorized licenses of the Software. Carlson grants no license (whether
expressly or otherwise) under this EULA, and this EULA expressly excludes any right
with respect to software that was not acquired lawfully or that is not a legitimate,
authorized copy of the Software. One (but not more than one) of the licenses below
applies to the Licensee. The one that applies is the one identified on the applicable
invoice, order form, or registration page. If the invoice, order form, or registration page
does not specify the nature of the license, the license shall be deemed to be for a single
Device under this Section. Carlson makes the Documentation available in electronic form
at no additional charge. If Licensee desires a printed form of the Documentation, Carlson
will provide this for an additional fee.
Subject to Licensee’s compliance with each and every term and condition of this
EULA, Carlson grants Licensee a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive,
non-transferable license without right of sublicense, during the Term of this
EULA to install in accordance with the Documentation and use, through an
Authorized User, a single copy of the object code version of the Software and the
Documentation on a single computing device obtained or provided by Licensee
(the “Device”) solely for Licensee’s internal business purposes and solely in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this EULA.
- Third Party Materials. The Software may include or allow the Licensee to access third
party software programs that may be subject to other terms and conditions. Licensee shall
not use such third party software programs apart from the Software unless Licensee
obtains permission to do so from the third party. Licensee shall not use any third party
software programs unless Licensee agrees to comply with and be bound by the license
terms for that third party software program. Licensee’s use of open source and other third
party software programs shall be governed by the license agreements between Licensee
and the applicable third party. Carlson shall have no obligation or liability to You or
Licensee with respect to any open source or third party software.
- Limitations. Carlson reserves all rights that are not expressly granted in this EULA. No
right or license is granted by estoppel or implication. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this EULA, Carlson grants no license (whether expressly or otherwise) under
this EULA, and this EULA expressly excludes any right with respect to software that was
not acquired lawfully or that is not a legitimate, authorized copy of the Software.
- Resitrictions.
- No copying, reproduction, sublicensing, transfer, or third party use. Except as expressly
permitted in the applicable subsection of Section 1(a) and in Section 1(b), Licensee shall
not copy the Software or Documentation, in whole or in part. Licensee shall not
reproduce, transmit, retransmit, broadcast, synchronize, publicly perform, publicly
display, rent, lease, lend, sell, distribute, publish, sublicense, assign, transfer, broker,
allow third party use of, or make available to third parties any copies of the Software (or
any of its features or functionality) or use the Software in any way except as expressly
permitted in the applicable subsection(s) of Section 1 above. Licensee shall not use the
Software except for Licensee’s benefit and in no event for the benefit of any third party.
Licensee may not enable use of the Software on a Device other than the Device permitted
under Section 1(a).
- Authorized Users. Licensee shall allow only a single individual employee of Licensee
operating the Device on which the Software is loaded to use the Software and
accompanying Documentation. The individuals described above in this Section 2(b) are
“Authorized Users.” Licensee may not allow any other individual, including any
independent contractor or service provider, to access or use the Software or
Documentation. Licensee shall communicate the terms of use within this EULA to the
Authorized Users and require all Authorized Users to comply with them. Licensee shall
be responsible for all acts and omissions of Authorized Users and those using the
Software through the accounts of Licensee and its Authorized Users. In certain cases,
such as a student license purchased directly by a student or when a Licensee is a sole
proprietor licensed under their own name, the Licensee and the Authorized User are the
same person.
- No Derivative Works. Licensee shall not modify, adapt, edit, improve, fix, amend, alter,
enhance, translate, or create any derivative works (whether patentable or not) based on
the Software or the Documentation. Licensee shall not combine or incorporate the
Software (or any part of it) with any other programs. Licensee shall not separate
component parts of the Software for use on more than one device.
- No Reverse Engineering. Licensee shall not decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble,
decode, adapt, attempt to derive or gain access to the source code of, or decrypt the
Software. In jurisdictions where users have the right to do the foregoing and cannot
waive that right, the users may exercise the right only to the extent necessary to achieve
interoperability with an independent program and only to the extent the information
needed to achieve interoperability has not been made available by Carlson within a
reasonable period of time upon request.
- No Bots. Licensee shall not use any robots, spiders, automated inquiry devices, or
repetitive data gathering and extraction tools, routines, scripts, or mechanisms to access
the Software.
- No Malicious Code. Licensee shall not input, upload, store, or transmit any virus, Trojan
horse, worm, trapdoor, time bomb or other computer programming routine intended to
damage, interfere with, intercept, or expropriate the Software, or any technology
(collectively, “Malicious Code”) or that infringes the intellectual property rights of any
third party.
- Compliance with Laws. Licensee shall comply with all applicable, international, national,
state, and local, laws, regulations, rules, and ordinances and shall not use the Software or
the Documentation in violation of any law, regulation, rule, or ordinance.
- Intellectual Property Rights. Licensee shall not use the Software, the Documentation, or
any Intellectual Property Rights belonging to Carlson or its licensors to develop, design,
create, license, or distribute any applications, accessories, or devices for use with the
Software.
- Limitation on Use. Licensee shall not use the Software or Documentation in any way or
for any purpose except as expressly permitted in this EULA and Licensee shall not use
the Software in any way for which it was not designed or intended.
- Device/Computer. Licensee shall use the Software only on the Device; Licensee shall not
allow use of the Software on any other device or transfer of the Software to any other
device, and Licensee shall not (and shall not allow) use of the Software on any device
that belongs to You or any third party.
- Network. Unless Licensee’s license is designated as Section 1(a)(ii), in which case
Licensee shall be subject to all attendant limitations and restrictions, Licensee shall not
make the Software available over a network, on a hosted basis, over the internet, through
any wide area network or virtual private network, by means of virtualization, software-as-
a-service, cloud, web hosting, by means of timesharing, service bureau, for public
viewing, or in any commercial network services, interactive cable or remote processing
services, or in any commercial areas or other technology or service.
- Benchmarking. Licensee shall not conduct or disclose any benchmark tests of the
Software.
- Competing. Licensee shall not develop competing or compatible Software during the
term of this EULA. Licensee shall not use the Software to develop or create any product
or service to replace or to be used in connection with the Software or any other product or
service offered by Carlson. Licensee shall not use the Software or Documentation to
analyze the Software for competitive reasons, or for any purpose that would disadvantage
Carlson.
- Not for High Risk. Unless specifically designated otherwise by Carlson, and then only for
the narrowly identified use, the Software and Documentation are not intended for use in
connection with any high-risk activity, including, without limitation, and not necessarily
limited to, air travel, aircraft navigation or communication, air traffic control, transport
management, space travel, vehicle operation systems, fire-fighting, police operations,
safety response systems, power plant operation, power generation systems, military
operations, rescue operations, hospital or medical operations, safety-critical operations,
life-support systems, nuclear facilities or equipment, or the like. Licensee shall not use or
allow the use of the Software or Documentation in connection with such high risk
activities unless Licensee executes a separate agreement to expressly permit such uses.
- Technology Protection. Licensee shall not attempt to avoid, overcome, tamper with,
disable, circumvent, remove, disable, or work around any copyright protection, security
features, or technological measures used to protect the Intellectual Property Rights or
other rights of Carlson or its licensors or those of any third party. Licensee shall not
attempt to gain unauthorized access to the source code or other parts of the Software to
which Licensee have not been expressly granted access.
- No Changing Device or Server. Except as expressly permitted by the terms of the
applicable invoice and Section 1(b)(iii), Licensee shall not move the installed Software
from the Device to another device without Carlson’s advance written permission. Even if
Carlson grants such permission, Licensee shall not allow the Software to be installed on
more than one device. Upon Carlson’s request, Licensee shall provide Carlson with
information about each Device on which the Software is installed.
- Source. Licensee shall obtain all Software (including any updates, upgrades,
modifications, or new versions, if applicable), all Documentation, and all other materials
related to the foregoing exclusively from Carlson or its designated authorized
representative and from no other source.
- Territory. If the Licensee entered into this EULA for a discounted fee, or if the applicable
invoice, Software, Documentation, or any other documentation specifies a geographical
limitation on use, Licensee may only use the Software in the geographical region (the
“Territory”) specified by Carlson and in no other Territory. Licensee acknowledges and
agrees that Carlson may enforce the Territory restriction through use of geofencing and
other security mechanisms, including automatic remote disabling without prior notice to
Licensee.
- Registration. Licensee shall register the licensed Software and Device with Carlson and
provide all requested identifying information about Licensee and the Device (including, if
applicable, serial number, signature, fingerprint or other identification of the Device) on
which the Software is installed, Licensee’s name, street and address and location, and
other information related to Licensee’s use of the Software. Licensee represents and
warrants that all information it provides during the registration process is true, correct,
and complete.
- Non-production. Trial, beta, and student licenses may only be used in non-production
environments. Licensees designated as students shall, upon Carlson’s request, provide
proof of student status. Licensees designated as universities shall, upon Carlson’s request,
provide proof of Authorized User’s student status.
- Access and Security.
- Theft/Loss of Password. Licensee is responsible and liable for all uses of the Software
and Documentation made by Authorized Users or other persons who obtained access
(directly or indirectly) through Licensee. Without limiting the foregoing, Licensee is
responsible and liable for all acts and omissions of Authorized Users as well as other
individuals to whom Licensee or an Authorized User provides access, whether permitted
by this EULA or in violation of this EULA. Licensee shall promptly report to Carlson the
theft, unauthorized access, or loss of any password or user identity required to access the
Software. Licensee shall be responsible for any costs incurred by Carlson due to the
negligence or reckless disregard of Licensee’s or its Authorized User’s failure to protect
the password or user identity. Licensee shall cooperate with Carlson or any person
authorized Carlson (including local, state, or federal law enforcement officials) to
investigate any alleged theft, misuse, or unauthorized use of the Software or data related
thereto.
- Security Mechanisms. Carlson reserves the right to take legal steps to eliminate piracy of
the Software. Licensee and You acknowledge that the Software may contain
technological copy protection or other security features designed to prevent unauthorized
use of the Software, including features that may protect against uses prohibited by some
or all of Section 2 above. Licensee shall not and shall not attempt to remove, disable,
circumvent, or otherwise create or implement any workaround to any security features.
Licensee acknowledges that Carlson may collect information about Licensee’s Device
and/or Licensee’s use of the Software, including the signature of the Device or
workstation, usage logs, and when the Software is in use. Licensee acknowledges that the
security features may include geofencing and tools that prevent the Software from
working if the Software is installed on an unauthorized device, an unauthorized number
of devices, or used in any way in violation of the license granted or the EULA as a whole.
The Software may include a security mechanism that can detect the installation or use of
copies of the Software and collect and transmit data (including to Carlson) about those
copies. The data collected and transmitted may include the type necessary or desirable to
verify user compliance, such as the nature of the license granted, the identity of the
Authorized User, and personal data. By using the Software, Licensee consents to such
detection and collection of data, as well as its transmission and use, including if an illegal
copy is detected. Carlson reserves the right to use a hardware lock device, license
administrative software, and/or a license authorization key to control access to the
Software. Neither You nor Licensee shall take any steps to avoid or defeat the purpose of
such measures. Use of any Software without any required lock device or authorization
key provided by Licensor is prohibited. If Carlson detects unauthorized use of the
Software or Documentation, Licensee shall compensate Carlson. Licensee agrees to
indemnify Carlson against any and all losses and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees in connection with any action Carlson takes in regard to Licensee’s
unauthorized installation, modification, or use of the Software, the Documentation, or
other Intellectual Property Rights propriety to Carlson. Carlson has the right to remotely
disable access to pirated copies of Software or violations of this Section 3 without prior
notice to Licensee.
- Internal Review. At Carlson’s request, Licensee shall review its Authorized Users and
shall certify in writing to Carlson (signed by an officer of Licensee) the number of
Devices on which the Software is installed and that Licensee is in full compliance with
this EULA. If Licensee review reveals any lack of compliance, Licensee shall
immediately remedy the noncompliance and provide Carlson with written notice of it as
well as all assistance requested by Carlson to evaluate and remedy such noncompliance.
If Licensee’s use of the Software exceeds the number of permitted copies or the
parameters of permitted use, Licensee shall pay additional fees to Carlson in addition to
other remedies available to Carlson at law or in equity.
- Audit. During the Term of the EULA and for a period of two years thereafter, Carlson
may audit Licensee’s use of the Software and Documentation (electronically or
otherwise, through designees or directly) to confirm Licensee’s compliance with the
terms and conditions of this EULA (or to confirm that use of the Software has ceased and
that copies of the Software have been deleted following expiration or termination of the
EULA). Licensee shall cooperate with Carlson in the conduct of the audit and provide all
reasonable access Carlson requests to records, systems, equipment, Devices, servers,
information, and personnel, including machine identification information, serial numbers,
and related information.
- Non-compliance. If any internal review or audit reveals that Licensee is using the
Software or Documentation in a manner that exceeds the scope of the license granted in
this EULA by number of Authorized Users, Devices, or other restrictions, or if Carlson
determines that Licensee is using pirated copies of the Software, then Carlson shall have
the following remedies, in addition to all other remedies available to it at law or in equity.
Within fifteen (15) days of written notice from Carlson, Licensee shall pay Carlson the
license fees for the excess use and, unless Carlson terminates the EULA, Licensee shall
pay fees to bring Licensee’s use into valid compliance with this EULA. Unless Licensee
can prove otherwise with documentation and to Carlson’s satisfaction, the excess use
shall be deemed to have begun on the later of the date the EULA went into effect or the
date of Carlson’s last audit and continued through the date of the current audit. The rates
for the license fees shall be determined without any discounts that might otherwise have
applied had Licensee properly licensed the Software. If the fees payable under the
foregoing provisions of Section 3(e) exceed five percent (5%) of the fees Licensee paid,
Licensee shall pay Carlson the reasonable costs of the audit within fifteen days of
Carlson’s written request and Carlson shall have the right to terminate the EULA on
written notice to Licensee. If Carlson determines that Licensee has made use of pirated
copies of the Software, then Carlson shall have the right to disable access to such copy
without notice to Licensee.
Support or Maintenance. Carlson may provide reasonable support services by
responding to questions regarding current or recent versions of the Software via phone or
email to Licensee. In addition, Carlson may make available to Licensee updates for the
version of the Software licensed by Licensee during the Term. If Licensee desires to
receive upgrades to the Software during the Term (in the event Carlson chooses to create
an upgrade to the Software), License must order and pay additional fees for maintenance
services. Any update, upgrade, or other modification to the Software Carlson provides to
Licensee shall automatically be deemed part of the Software (and related documentation
shall automatically be deemed part of the Documentation) and subject to the terms and
conditions of this EULA. If Carlson chooses to provide any technical assistance or
support, Carlson reserves the right to charge a fee. Maintenance services do include new
versions or releases for that specific Software product. Any maintenance or support
services Carlson chooses to provide do not include any new version or new release of the
Software that Carlson issues as a new or separate product, which Carlson may determine
in its sole discretion. If a Software product is over 5 years old, or if Carlson decides, in its
sole discretion, to end the life of any Software product, Carlson may designate this as a
Legacy product. In the case of Legacy products, or in the event that Carlson determines,
in it’s sole discretion, that circumstances are beyond their control which makes the
practicality of providing the maintenance or support services difficult and/or
unreasonably time consuming, including, but not necessarily limited to, operating system
versions not being compatible to the Software, hardware not up to specifications needed,
or any other third party hardware or software compatibility issues, Carlson reserves the
right to charge a fee for the support, to limit the amount of support they will provide
and/or decline providing support altogether. Carlson expressly reserves and retains all
rights not expressly granted in this EULA. The Software may not be shared or used
concurrently on different computers.
- Data. Licensee acknowledges that Carlson may, directly or through the services of third
parties, collect and store information about Licensee’s use of the Software and the Device
(including without limitation use of commands and which portions of the Software are
being used), server, computer, or other equipment on which the Software is installed or
through which the Software is accessed or used, whether in the course of registration,
providing support or maintenance services, through internal reviews or audits, and/or
through the use of security measures or other features included within the Software. You
and Licensee agree that Carlson may use such information and data collected for any
purpose, including without limitation, improvement of the Software or development of
updates, upgrades, or improvements, and/or verification of Licensee’s compliance with
the terms of this EULA and enforcement of Carlson’s rights (including Intellectual
Property Rights and other rights).
- Confidentiality.
- Confidential Information. Licensee acknowledges that the Software and Documentation,
and information provided in connection with them, contain confidential information
proprietary to Carlson that Carlson desires to protect from unauthorized access,
disclosure, or use, including without limitation, the Software itself and its component
parts (such as the source code, techniques, algorithms, processes, and the Software’s
Documentation), ideas, concepts, business methods, business processes, systems, criteria,
standards, trade secrets, knowhow, inventions, data, information entrusted to Carlson by
third parties, and other information that by its nature would reasonably be considered
confidential, as well as information marked confidential (collectively, the “Confidential
Information”) and that the Confidential Information may be expressed in oral, written,
electronic, or other form and may be received through communications with Carlson or
otherwise.
- Exclusions and Exemptions. Confidential Information shall not include information
Licensee can prove through written records existed at the time of disclosure that is: (a)
information that is or becomes generally known to the public other than through breach
of a duty of confidentiality to Carlson; or (b) information Licensee had in Licensee’s
possession at the time of disclosure that was not acquired from Carlson or a third party
that owed a duty of confidentiality to Carlson. If a court order or similar legal obligation
requires Licensee to disclose Confidential Information, Licensee must first give Carlson
prompt written notice and the opportunity to seek a protective order or obtain other relief
to preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Information. If Licensee is still
obligated to disclose any Confidential Information, Licensee shall limit disclosure to only
that Confidential Information that You and Licensee are legally obligated to disclose and
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to impose obligations of confidentiality on the
recipients.
- Obligations. Licensee shall not disclose the Confidential Information to any third party or
allow any third party to access or use it. Licensee shall limit disclosure of the
Confidential Information to Licensee’s employees who have a need to know it and who
are under written obligations to protect it at least to the same extent required under this
EULA . Licensee shall protect and safeguard Carlson’s Confidential Information
(including without limitation the Software) from unauthorized access, disclosure, loss, or
use at least to the same extent and in the same manner Licensee protect Licensee’s own
similar information, but in no event using less than commercially reasonable methods. If
Licensee becomes aware of any unauthorized access to, or disclosure of, loss of, or use of
any Confidential Information in Licensee’s possession or control, Licensee shall
promptly take all appropriate actions to protect against the further dissemination and use
of such Confidential Information and notify Carlson immediately. Licensee’s obligations
to protect the Confidential Information received or accessed during the term of this
EULA from unauthorized access, disclosure, or use shall survive termination or
expiration of this EULA for any reason.
- Restricted Use. Licensee may use the Confidential Information only for the limited
purpose expressly permitted under this EULA (if any), and shall not use it to compete
with Carlson or in any way potentially detrimental to Carlson. Licensee acknowledges
that title to the Confidential Information and any derivative works, improvements upon or
modifications to the Confidential Information shall remain at all times with Carlson and
that the Confidential Information has value. Upon Carlson’s request at any time, and
upon the expiration or termination of this EULA for any reason, Licensee shall return to
Carlson all Confidential Information or, at Carlson’s option, destroy any materials
containing, regarding or derived from the Confidential Information.
- Intellectual Property.
- General. The Software and Documentation are licensed and not sold. All right, title, and
interest in and to the Software, including all updates, upgrades, and modifications to the
Software, including any changes or amendments based on the Feedback, and all
Documentation of the foregoing, including the copyrights, patents, trade secrets,
trademarks, and other intellectual property rights arising out of the foregoing
(collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”) are and shall at all times remain with
Carlson and its licensors. Carlson retains exclusive ownership of the trademarks, service
marks, trade name, associated with the Software and the Documentation or otherwise
used by Carlson. Neither You nor Licensee acquires ownership interest in the Software or
Documentation or the Intellectual Property Rights arising out of the foregoing, and
neither You nor Licensee have any rights in the Software or Documentation except as
expressly set forth in this EULA (and then only subject to the terms and conditions of this
EULA). The Software, including all updates, upgrades, and modifications, and all
Documentation of the foregoing are protected by Intellectual Property Rights laws.
- Feedback. You and Licensee hereby authorize Carlson to use all suggestions, comments,
ideas, recommendations, or other feedback, including without limitation, for new features
or functionality or any comments, questions, suggestions, or the like that You or Licensee
provide to Carlson (collectively “Feedback”) in any way for any purpose without
restriction and without consideration to You or Licensee. You and Licensee acknowledge
and agree that Carlson is the sole owner of all right, title, and interest in and to the
Intellectual Property Rights arising out of or related to any updates, upgrades,
modifications, software, or other creations Carlson develops based on such Feedback,
whether related to the Software or otherwise.
- Notices. Licensee shall not remove, alter, obscure, or otherwise interfere with any
copyright, trademark, patent, or other Intellectual Property Rights notices affixed to,
within, or associated with the Software (or any updates, upgrades, or modifications
thereto) or Documentation whether in output, metadata, or online or hard copy attribution
pages for the Software or otherwise.
- Protection. Licensee shall safeguard and protect the Software and Documentation against
all unauthorized access, disclosure, loss, and use, including against infringement,
misappropriation, theft, and misuse. Licensee shall promptly notify Carlson if Licensee
becomes aware of any infringement of Carlson’s Intellectual Property Rights and
Licensee shall fully cooperate with Carlson in any investigation or legal action Carlson
takes to enforce its Intellectual Property Rights.
- Pricing; Payment. All fees are payable within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice
and shall be paid in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated. Carlson may suspend access
and use of the Software in the event fees are not fully or timely paid. Fees are non-

- Termination.
- Term. The EULA shall remain in effect for the amount of time specified in this Section 8
(the “Term”). Except as set forth elsewhere in this Section, this EULA shall remain in
effect for the term set forth on the invoice or other documentation Carlson provides, or
unless or until terminated in accordance with this Section 8.
- Termination.
- Automatic. Licensee’s permission to use the Software and Documentation shall terminate
immediately upon expiration or termination of the EULA for any reason and You may
not use the Software under Licensee’s license if You cease to be an Authorized User of
Licensee.
- By Licensee. Licensee may terminate this EULA by ceasing to use the Software and
Documentation and destroying all copies of the Software and Documentation in
Licensee’s possession or control and comply with the remaining provisions of this
Section 9.
- By Carlson. Carlson may terminate this EULA at any time upon written notice to
Licensee if (A) Licensee breaches this EULA and such breach is incapable of cure or
remains uncured for fifteen (15) days following Carlson’s written notice to Licensee of
such breach; (B) Licensee files, or has filed against Licensee, a petition for voluntary or
involuntary bankruptcy or pursuant to any other insolvency law, makes or seeks to make
a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or applies for or consents to the
appointment of a trustee, receiver, or custodian for a substantial part of Licensee’s
property. Carlson may terminate this EULA at any time for convenience, for any reason
or no reason by providing Licensee written notice of termination. Carlson shall have the
right to suspend use of the Software upon emailed notice if Licensee fails to pay the fees
when due. Carlson shall have the right to disable access to the Software remotely and
without notice if Carlson determines that the copy is a pirated copy or if Carlson
determines that Licensee has made use of a pirated copy of the Software.
- Post-Termination. Immediately upon expiration or termination of this EULA, the license
granted shall cease and terminate and Licensee shall immediately cease using and shall
destroy all copies of the Software and Documentation in Licensee’s possession or control.
Licensee shall certify in writing to Carlson that Licensee has discontinued use and has
uninstalled, removed, destroyed, or will return to Carlson all copies of the Software and
Documentation. The expiration or termination of this EULA shall not affect Licensee’s
obligation to pay all fees that may have been due on or before such expiration or
termination and shall not entitle Licensee to any refund.

Export Control. It is the policy of Carlson to comply with not only the letter, but also
the spirit and intent of US export controls, sanctions, and anti-boycott laws and
regulations (“US Export and Trade Controls”), which include the Export Administration
Regulations (“EAR”) of the US Department of Commerce, the International Traffic in
Arms Regulations (“ITAR”) of the US Department of State, the Foreign Trade
Regulations (“FTR”) of the US Department of Commerce, and the Foreign Assets
Control Regulations, administered by the Office of Foreign Asset Control of the US
Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”), which include prohibitions and restrictions on
exports to, and business and financial dealings with, certain countries, governments, and
individuals that are subject to US economic sanctions programs. International business
generates a significant portion of the Carlson’s revenue, and a violation of any US Export
and Trade Controls law, rule, or regulation (“Laws”) may jeopardize the ability of
Carlson to sell its products globally and may result in the imposition of significant civil
penalties, criminal fines and imprisonment, suspension of export privileges, and harm to
the Carlson’s reputation. Licensee shall comply with all applicable Laws, regulations,
and rules, and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary
export license or other governmental approval) prior to export, re-export, import, release,
or otherwise making the Software, Documentation, or technology available outside the
U.S. Without limiting the foregoing, Licensee represents and warrants that: (1) under no
circumstances, shall an export, re-export, import, or any other transaction be made
contrary to any US Export or Trade Controls or contrary to the Company’s policies and
procedures governing international transactions; (2) neither You nor any of Licensee’s
employees are named on any U.S. government denied-party list and that Licensee shall
not permit any such person to access or use any of the Software, Documentation, or
technology in a U.S.-embargoed country or in violation of any U.S. export law or
regulation; and (3) that it is, and at all times shall remain, in compliance with, all Laws
administered by OFAC or any other US governmental entity imposing economic
sanctions and trade embargoes (“Economic Sanctions Laws”) against designated
countries, territories, governments, regimes, entities, and Persons (“Embargoed Targets”)
included on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List or the
Consolidated Sanctions List maintained by OFAC or other similar lists maintained by any
US governmental entity (“SDN List”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Customer shall not (a) directly or indirectly export, re-export, transship, transfer, or
otherwise deliver the Software, Documentation, or technology or any portion thereof to
any Embargoed Targets currently included on the SDN List or (b) broker, finance, or
otherwise facilitate any transaction in violation of any Economic Sanctions Laws. As
used herein, “Person” shall mean an individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture,
limited liability company, governmental authority, unincorporated organization, trust,
association, joint stock company, or other entity.
