In that case you may, within ten (10) days after you first received the product, request a full refund of the purchase price by notifying F-Chart Software of your decision. Any use by you of this product also constitutes your acceptance of these terms.
F-Chart Software is only willing to grant you this License if you obtained the Product from F-Chart Software or an F-Chart Software authorized reseller. If you obtained the Product from any other source you may not install or use the Product.

You acknowledge and agree that: (a) the Product is protected under U.S. copyright and other laws; (b) F-Chart Software retains all copyrights and other intellectual property rights in the Product; (c) there are no implied licenses under this License, and any rights not expressly granted to you hereunder are reserved by F-Chart Software; (d) you acquire no ownership or other interest (other than your license rights) in or to the Product; and (e) F-Chart Software owns all copies of the Product, however made.

GRANT OF LICENSE AND SCOPE OF USE.
2.1 Licenses. You will have a license to one and only one of the Products for each license that you purchase. For each license that you acquire to use the Product (except for the EES/REFPROP Interface), you will be provided with a key file (EES.dft, FCHART.dft, PVFCHART.dft or FEHT.dft). This key file will contain information specific to the Product licensed, such as company or institution name, the name of the designated user or the number of unnamed users that you have acquired. In order to activate and use the Product as set forth in this License, you must copy the key file into the directory in which the product is installed. The types of licenses you may acquire are a named single-user License, an unnamed multi-user License or an academic License. Additional licenses types are available from F-Chart Software. All rights not specifically granted to you herein are retained by F-Chart Software.
2.2 Named User License. The terms of this Section 2.2 are applicable to you only if you have acquired a Named User License, as defined below, for EES, FEHT, F-Chart or PV F-Chart. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, F-Chart Software grants to you, an individual, ("Named User") a personal, nonexclusive, nontransferable and limited license to use the Product. The Product may be used exclusively by the specifically designated Named User, subject to all the terms and conditions of this License. You may install the Product on a reasonable number of machines provided that the Named User is the only individual permitted to use the Product. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this License, you may make a reasonable number of copies of the Product to backup devices such as hard disks, optical media, or tape and one (1) physical DVD media backup copy of the Product solely to replace the original copy provided to you if the original copy is damaged or destroyed. You may change the Named User to another Named User by requesting a new key file from F-Chart Software.
2.3 Multi-User License. The terms of this Section 2.3 are applicable to you only if you have purchased a Multi-User License for N specified individuals directly from F-Chart Software or an F-Chart Software authorized distributor or reseller. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, F-Chart Software grants to you a nonexclusive, nontransferable and limited license for N specific users (not N concurrent users from a larger pool). If an individual user has both a laptop and a desktop computer, then installing on both machines counts as one installation. The N users must be members of one department in your company and located at one specific facility. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this License, you may make a reasonable number of copies of the Product to backup devices such as hard disks, optical media, or tape and one (1) physical DVD media backup copy of the Product solely to replace the original copy provided to you if the original copy is damaged or destroyed.
2.4 Academic License. The terms of this Section 2.4 are applicable to you only if you have purchased an Academic License for use in one academic department in a degree-granting institution directly from F-Chart Software or an F-Chart Software authorized distributor or reseller. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, F-Chart Software grants to you a nonexclusive, nontransferable and limited license to install the Product on machines accessible to all students and faculty in a single department. If two departments within a college (for example Mechanical and Chemical Engineering) both obtain a produce license, then F-Chart Software will provide a license for the whole College of Engineering or equivalent. Each student and faculty member within the license holding unit (department or college) can have a copy of the product on their personal machine. This license is for instructional use only. If the product is used for sponsored research that is not a part of a student's graduation requirement then a non-academic license should be obtained. The Product expires each September 1. However, in June or July of each year F-Chart Software will notify one registered contact person by email with information on how to update for the following year (at no cost). The setup programs can be placed on a server, but the server must be accessible only to students and faculty within the license holding unit. Access must not be provided outside of the license holding department or college. The key file (described in section 2.1) must not be placed on the web where anyone outside of the department or college has access to the file. If the key file is found to be available, F-Chart Software will disable all use of the program. A fee of $US100 will be charged to reinstate the program.
LIMITATIONS. You may not: (a) modify, adapt, alter, translate, or create derivative works of the Product or merge the Product with other software other than as approved of in writing by F-Chart Software; (b) lease, rent or loan the Product to any third party; (c) sublicense, distribute or otherwise transfer the Product to any third party; (d) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the Product; (e) remove, alter, or obscure any confidentiality or proprietary notices (including copyright and trademark notices) of F-Chart Software or its suppliers on the Product; (f) allow third parties to access or use the Product such as in a time-sharing arrangement or operate the Product as part of a service bureau for the use or benefit of third parties; or (g) reproduce or use the Product except as expressly authorized under Section 2. The rights granted under this License apply only to this Product. For multi-user licenses, you may not permit your End Users to conduct the restricted activities limited by items (a) through (g) above.
LIMITED WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER. Except for this express limited warranty, the product is provided "as is" and without warranty of any kind. F-Chart Software hereby excludes and disclaims all implied or statutory warranties, including any warranties of fitness for a particular purpose, quality, non-infringement, title, results, efforts or quiet enjoyment. There is no warranty the product will be error free or will function without interruption. You assume the entire risk for the results obtained using the product. To the extent that F-Chart Software may not disclaim any warranty as a matter of applicable law, the scope and duration of such warranty will be the minimum permitted under such law. Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties so the above exclusion may not apply to you. This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other legal rights, which vary from state to state.
SERVICES; UPDATES; PRODUCT CHANGES. F-Chart Software is not required under this License to provide any installation, training or other services to you. Such services, if available, must be purchased separately. If, pursuant to a separate support agreement or otherwise, F-Chart Software provides you with a new release, error correction, update, upgrade or other modification to the Product, such modification will be deemed part of the Product, and subject to the terms of this License. F-Chart Software reserves the right at any time not to release or to discontinue release of any Product and to alter prices, features, specifications, capabilities, functions, licensing terms, release dates, general availability or other characteristics of any future releases of the Product.
REGISTRATION. The Product must be registered with F-Chart Software as a condition to your rights to use the Product. The necessary product registration information will be obtained during the ordering process.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. In no event will F-Chart Software be liable to any party for any indirect, incidental, consequential, exemplary, special or punitive damages, including any loss of profit, revenue, business opportunity or data, arising from or relating to this license or the produce, whether in contract, in tort or otherwise, even if F-Chart Software knew, should have known or has been advised of the possibility of such damages. F-Chart software's total cumulative liability arising from or related to the license or the product whether in contract in tort or otherwise will not exceed the fees actually paid you under this license. This section 7 will apply even if an exclusive remedy hereunder has failed of its essential purpose. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. F-Chart Software will defend and settle any suit brought against you by a third party (not your affiliate) based on a claim that the Product infringes upon any U.S. copyright and F-Chart Software will pay those costs and damages finally awarded against you in such suit that are specifically attributable to such claims or those amounts payable by you under a settlement of such suit. The foregoing obligations are conditioned on you: (a) notifying F-Chart Software promptly in writing of such action; (b) giving F-Chart Software sole control of the defense thereof and any related settlement negotiations; and (c) cooperating and, at F-Chart Software's request and expense, assisting in such defense. If the Product becomes, or in F-Chart Software's opinion is likely to become, the subject of an infringement claim that F-Chart Software is required to defend, then F-Chart Software may (at its option and expense) either: (a) procure for you the right to continue using the Product; (b) replace or modify the Product so that it becomes non-infringing; or (c) terminate this License and your rights hereunder to use the Product and refund a pro rata portion of any license fee you paid under this License, based on a three (3) year product life. Notwithstanding the foregoing, F-Chart Software will have no obligation under this Section 8 or otherwise with respect to any infringement claim based upon: (a) any use of the Product not in accordance with this License or the products accompanying documentation; (b) any use of the Product in combination with other products, equipment, software, or data not provided by F-Chart Software; (c) any use of any version of the Product other than the most current version made available to you; or (d) any modification of the Product by any person other than F-Chart Software or its authorized agents ("Excluded Claims"). This section 8 states F-Chart Software's entire liability and your sole and exclusive remedy for third- party claims relating to the Product.
