You may only install and use the Upgrade on those computers on which you are authorized to use the pre-existing SOFTWARE PRODUCT pursuant to the Pre-existing License and in no event may you run both the Upgrade and the pre-existing SOFTWARE PRODUCT concurrently. 

    4. Evaluation License; Pre-Release Software Product. If you have acquired an evaluation license, you may install and permit your employees to use the SOFTWARE PRODUCT on computers in your workplace for internal evaluation purposes only. If the computers are laptop, notebook or similar portable computers, you may use the SOFTWARE PRODUCT on the portable computers while temporarily away from your workplace for internal evaluation purposes only in the same manner as you would normally do so on the portable computers while in your workplace. You will be deemed to have an evaluation license for all SOFTWARE PRODUCTS that have been provided to you by QUANSER and for which you do not have an Order Confirmation or other written document from QUANSER expressly designating the type of license granted to you for the SOFTWARE PRODUCT.

Therefore, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, you may not distribute or transfer any applications you create with the SOFTWARE PRODUCT under an evaluation license. You also agree to use reasonable efforts to provide feedback to QUANSER regarding your use of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, including promptly reporting to QUANSER errors or bugs that you might find.

You hereby grant to QUANSER a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual, and irrevocable license to use, copy, and modify the Feedback for any purpose, including incorporation or implementation of such Feedback into QUANSER products or services, and to display, market, sublicense and distribute the Feedback as incorporated or embedded in any product or service distributed or offered by QUANSER.

Prior to deactivation of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, you may contact QUANSER to convert your evaluation license for the SOFTWARE PRODUCT to a single user license or network use license, under such terms, and to the extent, if any, that QUANSER generally makes such licenses available for the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, or such other license as QUANSER may (in its sole discretion) permit by paying to QUANSER the applicable license fee and obtaining from QUANSER written confirmation of the license type. QUANSER may (in its sole discretion and upon notice to you) terminate the evaluation license at any time, whereupon this Agreement will be considered terminated.

  5. Limited Warranty. QUANSER warrants that the physical media, if any, on which the SOFTWARE PRODUCT is recorded is free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of delivery to you.

If failure of the media has resulted from accident, abuse, or misapplication, QUANSER shall have no responsibility whatsoever to refund the purchase price or replace the media. In the event of replacement of the media, the replacement media will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or thirty (30) days, whichever is the longer. Except as set out in this Agreement, this remedy is your exclusive remedy for a breach of warranty, and is QUANSER's (or any of its affiliated corporations' and their respective directors', officers', employees' or shareholders') entire liability and is the only warranty made with respect to the SOFTWARE PRODUCT. Any claims made by you for the breach of a warranty, shall be made in writing and delivered to QUANSER at the address set forth below, and you shall provide QUANSER a reproducible test case, if applicable, demonstrating the breach of warranty. QUANSER does not warrant that the SOFTWARE PRODUCT will meet your requirements, be error free, or operate without interruptions. You acknowledge that the SOFTWARE PRODUCT operates in an environment that includes software and hardware of Third Party vendors and that QUANSER does not control the products of Third Party vendors. You further acknowledge that you possess superior knowledge with respect to your operations and have relied upon your own skill and judgment in selecting and licensing the SOFTWARE PRODUCT. You further acknowledge that the SOFTWARE PRODUCT is not fault-tolerant and is not designed, manufactured, or intended for use with on-line control equipment in hazardous environments requiring fail safe performance in which the failure of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT could lead directly to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage. Accordingly, QUANSER and its suppliers specifically disclaim any express or implied warranty of fitness for such High Risk Activities. You agree that QUANSER and its suppliers will not be liable for any claims or damages arising from the use of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT in such applications. You understand that the SOFTWARE PRODUCT may include certain third party software subject to separate license terms either presented at the time of installation or otherwise separately available ("Third Party Software"). 

  6. Intellectual Property Warranty and Indemnity. QUANSER warrants to you that the SOFTWARE PRODUCT does not, to QUANSER's knowledge, infringe any registered patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret right or other intellectual property right of a third party and which intellectual property right is protected by the laws of Canada or the United States (“IP Rights”). QUANSER shall hold you harmless from costs, damages and liability which may be incurred on account of a finding by a court of competent jurisdiction that QUANSER has breached the foregoing non-infringement warranty, and QUANSER shall, at its own expense, defend all claims, suits or actions alleging such infringement of IP Rights against you for which QUANSER had knowledge of such infringement, provided that QUANSER (i) is promptly notified of such claims, suits and actions, (ii) is given all evidence in your possession, and (iii) is given reasonable assistance by you in, and sole control of, the defense thereof and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise. In the event of a claim of infringement of IP Rights, QUANSER's obligation under this Agreement shall be fulfilled if QUANSER: (i) obtains a license for you to continue the use the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, or (ii) replaces or modifies the SOFTWARE PRODUCT so as to be commercially substantially equal but non-infringing, provided, however, that if none of these options are reasonably available to QUANSER, then upon written request by QUANSER, you shall return the SOFTWARE PRODUCT and QUANSER will refund the license fees you paid for the Software. The indemnification under this Section shall not apply to any claim of infringement of IP Rights which may be brought resulting from (1) any unauthorized use of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT; (2) any use of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT in a manner for which the SOFTWARE PRODUCT was not designed or in combination with any other product, which combination is the cause of the IP infringement; (3) any unauthorized modifications to the SOFTWARE PRODUCT made by you; (4) any willful act by you contrary to the terms of the license; (5) any settlement or compromise incurred or made by you without QUANSER's prior written consent; or (6) any Third Party Software. The above states the entire liability of QUANSER with respect to infringement of any and all intellectual property rights by the SOFTWARE PRODUCT and is in lieu of all warranties, express, implied or statutory, in regard thereto. 

  7. LIMITED LIABILITY. OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET OUT HEREIN AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS, THE SOFTWARE PRODUCT IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY QUANSER, ITS AFFILIATES, DEALERS, RESELLERS OR DISTRIBUTORS, SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY OR IN ANY WAY INCREASE THE SCOPE OF THIS WARRANTY. YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE USE AND PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE PRODUCT IN TERMS OF CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, CURRENTNESS, OR OTHERWISE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, IN NO EVENT SHALL QUANSER, ITS AGENTS OR ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN THE CREATION, PRODUCTION OR DELIVERY OF THE SOFTWARE PRODUCT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF REVENUES OR PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, TESTING INTERRUPTIONS, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, AND THE LIKE) ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE PRODUCT, THE INSTALLATION AND ACTIVATION OF THE SOFTWARE PRODUCT, THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE FAILURE OF EQUIPMENT RELATED TO YOUR COMPUTER OR DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER, SOFTWARE OR OTHER PROPERTY RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE PRODUCT, EVEN IF QUANSER OR ITS AGENTS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE OR CLAIM, OR IT IS FORESEEABLE. BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU IN SUCH A CASE. QUANSER'S MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO QUANSER FOR THE APPLICABLE SOFTWARE PRODUCT. THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT THE ALLEGED BREACH OR DEFAULT IS A BREACH OF A FUNDAMENTAL CONDITION OR TERM. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON DURATION OF AN IMPLIED WARRANTY, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Indemnity. You agree to indemnify and hold QUANSER and its suppliers harmless from and against any loss, liability, cost, expense or damage (including reasonable legal fees) arising directly or indirectly out of any claim, suit action or judgment brought against QUANSER or its Affiliates related to any act or omission by you relating to the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, including but not limited to the provision by you of any products or services, any representations, warranties or covenants made by you, any failure by you to comply with any of the terms of this Agreement, or violation by you of any provincial, state, federal, foreign, or other laws or regulations or any third party rights.

If an audit discloses that you have failed to comply with one or more licenses, and such failure to comply could have in part or in whole been avoided by you having paid additional fees to expand the scope of the license or licenses, then you shall promptly pay QUANSER such licensing fees (at payee's then current rates) and, if such unpaid license fees exceed 5% of the license fees paid for the applicable SOFTWARE PRODUCT during the applicable period during which such underpayment occurred, then you shall, in addition to paying the unpaid fees, also reimburse QUANSER or its supplier, as the case may be, the full cost of such audit.
