LICENSE AGREEMENT
Please read this license carefully before using the software. By installing
or using the software, you are agreeing to be bound by the terms of this license.
If you do not agree to the terms of this license, promptly return the software
to the place where you obtained it and your money will be refunded.
Please note that use or distribution of the software with a Microsoft
operating system may require additional licenses from Microsoft and ATI accepts
no responsibility or liability for your failure to obtain such licenses, if
required.
1. License. The software accompanying this license (hereinafter "software"),
regardless of the media on which it is distributed, are licensed to you by ATI
technologies, inc. ("ATI") for use solely in conjunction with ATI hardware
products purchased with the software ("ATI hardware"). You own the
medium on which the software is recorded, but ATI and ATI’s licensors (referred
to collectively as "ATI") retain title to the software and related
documentation. You may: a) load the software into personal computers
having ATI hardware; b) use the software solely in conjunction
with the ATI hardware on a single computer; c) make one copy
of the software in machine-readable form for backup purposes only. You must
reproduce
on such
copy ATI’s copyright notice and any other proprietary legends that were on the
original copy of the software; d) transfer all your license rights
in the software provided you must also transfer a copy of this license, the
backup
copy of the software, the ATI hardware and the related documentation and
provided the other party reads and agrees to accept the terms and conditions
of this
license. Upon such transfer your license is then terminated.
2. Restrictions. The software contains copyrighted and patented
material, trade secrets and other proprietary material. In order to protect
them, and except as permitted by applicable legislation, you may not: a) decompile,
reverse engineer, disassemble or otherwise reduce the software to a human-perceivable
form; b) modify, network, rent, lend, loan, distribute or
create derivative works based upon the software in whole or in part; or c) electronically
transmit the software from one computer to another or over a network or
otherwise transfer the software except as permitted by this license.
3. Termination. This license is effective until terminated.
You may terminate this license at any time by destroying the software, related
documentation and all copies thereof. This license will terminate immediately
without notice
from ATI if you fail to comply with any provision of this license. Upon
termination you must destroy the software, related documentation and all copies
thereof.
4. Government End Users. If you are acquiring the software
on behalf of any unit or agency of the United States government, the following
provisions apply. The government agrees the software and documentation were
developed
at private expense and are provided with "restricted rights". Use, duplication,
or disclosure by the government is subject to restrictions as set forth in far
52.227-14, dfar 252.227-7013, its successors or applicable agency rights in technical
data or computer software. In the event that this license, or any part thereof,
is deemed inconsistent with the minimum rights identified in the restricted rights
provisions, the minimum rights shall prevail.
5. No Other License. No rights or licenses are granted by
ATI under this license, expressly or by implication, with respect to any
proprietary
information or patent, copyright, trade secret or other intellectual
property right owned
or controlled by ATI, except as expressly provided in this license.
6. Disclaimer of Warranty on Software. You expressly acknowledge
and agree that use of the software is at your sole risk. The software
and related documentation are provided "as is" and without warranty of any kind
and ATI expressly disclaims all warranties, express and implied, including, but
not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular
purpose. ATI does not warrant that the functions contained in the software will
meet your requirements, or that the operation of the software will be uninterrupted
or error-free, or that defects in the software will be corrected. The entire
risk as to the results and performance of the software is assumed by you. Furthermore,
ATI does not warrant or make any representations regarding the use or the results
of the use of the software or related documentation in terms of their correctness,
accuracy, reliability, currentness, or otherwise. No oral or written information
or advice given by ATI or ATI’s authorized representative shall create a warranty
or in any way increase the scope of this warranty. Should the software prove
defective, you (and not ATI or ATI’s authorized representative) assume the entire
cost of all necessary servicing, repair or correction. Some jurisdictions do
not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not
apply to you.
7. Limitation of Liability. Under no circumstances including
negligence, shall ATI, or its directors, officers, employees or agents, be
liable to you for any incidental, indirect, special or consequential damages
(including
damages
for loss of business profits, business interruption, loss of
business
information,
and the like) arising out of the use, misuse or inability to
use the software or related documentation, breach or default, including those
arising
from
infringement or alleged infringement of any patent, trademark, copyright
or other intellectual
property right, by ATI, even if ATI or ATI’s authorized representative has been
advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the
limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages,
so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. ATI will not be liable
for 1) loss of, or damage to, your records or data or 2) any
damages claimed by you based on any third party claim. In no
event shall ATI’s total
liability to you for all damages, losses, and causes of action (whether in contract,
tort (including negligence) or otherwise) exceed the amount paid by you for the
software.
8. Controlling Law and Severability. This license shall be
governed by and construed under the laws of the province of Ontario, Canada
without reference to its conflict of law principles. In the event of
any
conflicts between foreign
law, rules, and regulations, and Canadian law, rules, and regulations,
Canadian law, rules and regulations shall prevail and govern. The
United Nations
convention
on contracts for the international sale of goods shall not
apply to this license. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction
finds
any provision
of
this license or portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision
of
the license shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so
as to effect the intent
of the parties, and the remainder of this license shall continue
in full force and effect.
9. Complete Agreement. This license constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties with respect to the use of the software
and the related documentation, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous
understandings or agreements, written
or oral, regarding such subject matter. No amendment to or
modification
of this license will be binding unless in writing and signed by
a duly authorized representative
of ATI.
