(a) ‘Free For Non-Commercial Use’ Licenses

At the sole discretion of the Company, it may from time to time make the software available without charge for the use of an individual solely for personal and non-commercial purposes on a single computer. Such a license will be granted solely on the representation and guarantee that the Licensee will use the software solely for non-commercial purposes.

(b) Commercial Licenses

At the sole discretion of the Company, it may from time to time make the software available for commercial use in exchange for a license fee to be set by the Company. The main feature of a commercial license is that it permits the Licensee to use the software for the creation of commercial products or in connection with commercial endeavours which is strictly forbidden under the terms of any non-commercial license. The company may offer multiple choices, editions, or types of commercial license which may have differing capabilities and features. By purchasing a Commercial license and using the software the Licensee acknowledges that it is entitled only to the capabilities and features granted under that particular license, and that the Licensee understands and accept that the Company may use any methods including technological to ensure that the software is being used within the terms of the license granted.

Any Optional Software is ancillary to the initial license made available to the Licensee, and is not available for use without the original license or a renewal of that license. The Licensee acknowledges that if the original license or any subsequent license is terminated for any reason its license to use the Optional Software terminates at the same time and it must cease to use the Optional Software and destroy all copies in the same way as it must for the main software in the same circumstances. Unless an individual Optional Software item includes its own separate and specific terms and conditions, this agreement shall govern the use of Optional Software.

Any Optional Software is made available to the Licensee solely for its internal business purposes in support of an existing license to use the Software, and in the case of beta features and releases, for evaluation purposes. Optional Software may be provided as preview releases of new features and programs, as well as quick fixes for resolving specific issues, and whilst the Company will do its best to ensure that any Optional Software is created to the highest possible standard it is always possible that there could be undetected issues within the Optional Software.

In the event that the Licensee starts to use the software in a manner not permitted under the license or any extension to that license then that license and any license extension will immediately and automatically terminate without further notice. As soon as a license is terminated, whether automatically because of the actions of the Licensee or its users or upon notification by the Company, the Licensee must immediately cease using the software and destroy all copies.
