not to copy the Software or Documentation except where such copying is incidental to normal use of the Software or where it is necessary for the purpose of back-up;
not to rent, lease, sub-license, loan, translate, merge, adapt, vary or modify the Software or Documentation;
not to make alterations to, or modifications of, the whole or any part of the Software nor permit the Software or any part of it to be combined with, or become incorporated in, any other programs;
not to reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to discover the source code of the Software unless it is essential to do so in order to achieve operability of the Software with another software program, and you have first requested us to provide the information necessary to achieve such operability and we have not made such information available. You acknowledge that we have the right to impose reasonable conditions and to request a reasonable fee before providing such information. Any information supplied by us or obtained by you, as permitted under this Licence, may only be used by you for the purpose described in this clause and may not be disclosed to any third party or used to create any software which is substantially similar to the expression of the Software;
to keep all copies of the Software secure and to maintain accurate and up-to-date records of the number and locations of all copies of the Software

not to provide, or otherwise make available, the Software in any form, in whole or in part to any person other than permitted by the Licensing Option you have purchased.
2.2. You acknowledge that we have the right to remotely verify and audit your and users use of the Software.
3.1. You acknowledge that all intellectual property rights in the Software and the Documentation throughout the world belong to us, that rights in the Software are licensed (not sold) to you, and that you have no rights in, or to, the Software or the Documentation other than the right to use them in accordance with the terms of this Licence.
3.2. You acknowledge that you have no right to have access to the Software in source code form or in unlocked coding.
3.3. The integrity of this Software is protected by technical protection measures (TPM) so that the intellectual property rights, including copyright, in our Software are not misappropriated. You must not attempt in any way to remove or circumvent any such TPM, nor to apply, manufacture for sale, hire, import, distribute, sell, nor let, offer, advertise or expose for sale or hire, nor have in your possession for private or commercial purposes, any means whose sole intended purpose is to facilitate the unauthorised removal or circumvention of such TPM.
3.4. You are permitted to use Software-generated media (graphics, video, web pages, etc.) in any of your publications without paying any additional licensing fee, provided that you acknowledge the use of the Software. A suitable example would be:
"Images and video generated using CrystalMaker®: a crystal and molecular structures program for Mac and Windows. CrystalMaker Software Ltd, Oxford, England (www.crystalmaker.com)"
3.5. If space is limited you can just list the application name, company name and web address. You must include the registered trademark symbol ® after the application name, as this is important, for legal reasons.
4.1. We warrant that:
the Software will, when properly used and on an operating system for which it was designed, perform substantially in accordance with the functions described in the Documentation; and
that the Documentation correctly describes the operation of the Software in all material respects, for a period of 90 days from the date of installation of the Software (Warranty Period).
4.2. If, within the Warranty Period, you notify us in writing of any defect or fault in the Software as a result of which it fails to perform substantially in accordance with the Documentation, we will, at our sole option, either repair or replace the Software, provided that you make available all the information that may be necessary to help us to remedy the defect or fault, including sufficient information to enable us to recreate the defect or fault.
4.3. The warranty does not apply:
if the defect or fault in the Software results from a user having modified or amended the Software; and
if the defect or fault in the Software results from a user having used the Software in contravention of the terms of this Licence.
4.4. If you are a consumer, this warranty is in addition to your legal rights in relation to Software that is faulty or not as described.
4.5. You acknowledge that the Software will not operate entirely uninterrupted or error-free and is an off-the-shelf software package and not a bespoke program prepared to meet the user's individual requirements (even if we are aware of such requirements). It is therefore the responsibility of the user to ensure that the facilities and functions described in the Documentation meet its requirements. We will not be liable for any material failure of the Software to provide any facility or function not specified in the Documentation.
4.6. We do not warrant, guarantee or make any representations regarding the results of the Software in terms of its correctness, accuracy, reliability or otherwise. The entire risk as to the results of the Software is assumed by the user.

This maximum cap does not apply to clause 5.5.

death or personal injury resulting from our negligence;
fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; and
any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by English law.
5.6. This Licence sets out the full extent of our obligations and liabilities in respect of the supply of the Software and Documentation. Except as expressly stated in this Licence, there are no conditions, warranties, representations or other terms, express or implied, that are binding on us. Any condition, warranty, representation or other term concerning the supply of the Software and Documentation which might otherwise be implied into, or incorporated in, this Licence whether by statute, common law or otherwise, is excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.

any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by English law.
7.1. We will use reasonable endeavours to provide technical support during normal office hours in England (Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm, excluding English statutory holidays) in respect of errors, defects and queries in relation to the Software.

all rights granted to you and users under this Licence shall cease;
you must (and must procure that all users) cease all activities authorised by this Licence;
you must (and must procure that all users) immediately delete or remove the Software from all computer equipment in your possession and certify to us that you have done so.

In proving the service of any notice, it will be sufficient to prove, in the case of a letter, that such letter was properly addressed, stamped and placed in the post and, in the case of an e-mail, that such e-mail was sent to the specified e-mail address of the addressee.
10.1. We may transfer our rights and obligations under this Licence to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under this Licence.
10.2. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under this Licence to another person if we agree in writing.

10.4. If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under this Licence, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.
10.5. Each of the clauses of this Licence operates separately. If any court or competent authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining clauses will remain in full force and effect.
