Please read the following licensing terms carefully before installing this program (software) on your computer. By activating 'I accept the terms and conditions of the licensing agreement' below, you are giving your express agreement to the following terms of use which thereby become part of the contract concluded between us. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions of use, you may not use the computer program. The computer program is not sold but licensed for the purpose of being used. You only acquire title to the storage medium.

1. Subject matter of the agreement

The subject matter of the agreement is to grant a one-time right of use (license) to the computer program. Neither manuals, other documentation or data carriers constitute the subject matter of the agreement. However, you have the option of acquiring a manual or data carrier. Thus you shall be in agreement about the fact that you will not receive a manual or any data carriers, and that to this extent you may only access the online help in the computer program.

2. Granting a of license

You may copy the computer program to the extent that each copy made is needed to use the computer program. Installing the computer program on the bulk storage device at a computer workstation counts as a necessary copy, as long as it not prevented by copy protection, as does loading the program into the main memory and making backup copies.

You may not make any further copies.

You may use the computer program on any hardware at your disposal at a computer workstation. However, if you change the hardware, you must delete the computer program from the bulk storage medium of the hardware previously used. It is not permitted to save, keep or use the program on more than one hardware device at the same time.

You may not sell, hire, lease or give away the computer program or the rights of use which you are merely acquiring, to third parties. However, you may use it at a computer workstation in order to provide a service to a third party.

Translating the program code back into other forms of code (decompiling) and any other form of reverse engineering performed to uncover the different software production stages are not permitted. The interface information required for the purpose of creating interoperability with an independently written computer program, can be requested from the manufacturer in return for payment of a contribution towards costs.
The removal of copy protection is not permitted. The copy protection may only be removed in order to safeguard the operation of the program if it is impairing or preventing the program from being used in an error-free manner, and the supplier is unable or unwilling to correct the fault within a suitable period of time in spite of the fact that the user has given the supplier a detailed description of the fault which has occurred. The burden of proof that the copy protection is impairing or preventing the program from working correctly lies with the user.

Any other changes to the program than those specified above, in particular for debugging purposes or to expand the program's functional scope, are only permitted if the altered program is only employed for your own use. Your own use as defined by this provision includes private use in particular. However, your own use also includes uses serving professional or employment purposes as long as it is restricted to use by you and it is not to be exploited commercially in any way in the outside world.

The actions described in the previous paragraph may only be left to commercially active third parties who are potential competitors to the program manufacturer, if the program manufacturer is unwilling to carry out the desired program changes for an appropriate fee. The manufacturer must be granted sufficient time to determine whether or not he wants to take on the order.
Copyright notices, serial numbers and other features serving to identify the program must never be removed or modified.

3. Activation and data examination

We reserve the right to examine the correctness of the entered activation key online before activating the computer program. You hereby declare your agreement with this examination as well as the storage of your data required in this regard. This may include personal data, e.g. e-mail address, machine name, company und IP address. Data are only stored if the entered activation key is incorrect.

4. Illegal activation/unauthorized use - contractual penalties

Any activation with an illegal activation key, including any attempt at activation with an invalid activation key or any unauthorized use that goes beyond the scope of the present agreement which does not only represent a slight offence against the terms and conditions of use shall entitle us to require a contractual penalty which amounts to three times the licensing fee. Payment of damages and any other claims shall remain unaffected, including proof of lesser damage.

5. Term of the license

The license shall be granted for the duration of the legal copyright protection period. The license shall automatically lose its validity, without requiring a notice of cancellation, if you violate any provision of the present agreement.

You may terminate the licensing agreement at any time by destroying the computer program along with any copies.

6. Limited warranty

We shall eliminate any errors in the computer program within the guarantee period of twelve months starting from delivery after receiving notification from you. We shall have the option of reworking free of charge or replacement.
If the error cannot be repaired within an appropriate period of time or if rework or replacement should be regarded as having failed for any other reasons, then you shall have the option of reducing remuneration (abatement) or cancellation of the agreement (rescission). Reworking or replacement be assumed as having failed only if we have been granted sufficient opportunity for reworking or replacement, without achieving the desired success, if reworking or replacement is impossible, refused or unreasonably delayed by us, if there are justified doubts with regard to the chances for success or in the event of any other unreasonable circumstances.

7. Limited liability

We shall be liable without limitation for damage due to defective titles and the absence of warranted qualities. Liability for initial inability to perform, delay and impossibility shall be limited to fivefold the transfer fee as well as to such damage which must be typically taken into account within the scope of transfer of a computer program.
In all other respects we shall be liable without limitation only for intent and gross negligence, including in the case of our legal representatives and management staff. For the culpability of other executing aides we shall only be liable within the scope of liability for initial inability to perform in accordance with the foregoing paragraph.

In the case of slight negligence we shall only be liable insofar as an obligation has not been violated, the observance of which is of special importance for achieving the purpose of the agreement (cardinal obligation). In the event of violation of a cardinal obligation the limitation of liability for initial inability to perform shall be accordingly applied in accordance with Paragraph 1 of this regulation governing liability.

Liability for data loss shall be limited to the typical expense for restoration which would have been incurred for regular preparation of backup copies in accordance with the risk.

Liability in accordance with product liability law shall remain unaffected (Section 14 of the Product Liability Act [ProdHG]).
