EGENIX.COM COMMERCIAL LICENSE AGREEMENT
Version 1.2.0
1. Introduction
This "License Agreement" is between eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH
("eGenix.com"), having an office at Pastor-Loeh-Str. 48, D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany, and
the Individual or Organization ("Licensee") accessing and otherwise using this software in
source or binary form and its associated documentation ("the Software").
2. Terms and Definitions
The "Software" covered under this License Agreement includes without limitation, all object
code, source code, help files, publications, documentation and other programs, products or
tools that are included in the official "Software Distribution" available from eGenix.com.
The "Proof of Authorization" for the Software is a written and signed notice from eGenix.com
providing evidence of the extent of authorizations the Licensee has acquired to use the
Software and of Licensee's eligibility for future upgrade program prices (if announced) and
potential special or promotional opportunities. As such, the Proof of Authorization becomes
part of this License Agreement.
Installation of the Software ("Installation") refers to the process of unpacking or copying the
files included in the Software Distribution to an Installation Target.
"Installation Target" refers to the target of an installation operation. Targets are defined as
follows:
1) "CPU" refers to a central processing unit which is able to store and/or execute the
Software (a server, personal computer, or other computer-like device) using at most two
(2) processors,
2) "Site" refers to a single site of a company,
3) "Corporate" refers to an unlimited number of sites of the company,
4) "Developer CPU" refers to a single CPU used by at most one (1) developer.
When installing the Software on a server CPU for use by other CPUs in a network, Licensee
must obtain a License for the server CPU and for all client CPUs attached to the network which
will make use of the Software by copying the Software in binary or source form from the server
into their CPU memory. If a CPU makes use of more than two (2) processors, Licensee must
obtain additional CPU licenses to cover the total number of installed processors. Likewise, if a
Developer CPU is used by more than one developer, Licensee must obtain additional
Developer CPU licenses to cover the total number of developers using the CPU.
"Commercial Environment" refers to any application environment which is aimed at directly or
indirectly generating profit. This includes, without limitation, for-profit organizations, private
educational institutions, work as independent contractor, consultant and other profit generating
relationships with organizations or individuals. Governments and related agencies or
organizations are also regarded as being Commercial Environments.
"Non-Commercial Environments" are all those application environments which do not directly
or indirectly generate profit. Public educational institutions and officially acknowledged private
non-profit organizations are regarded as being Non-Commercial Environments in the
aforementioned sense.
"Educational Environments" are all those application environments which directly aim at
educating children, pupils or students. This includes, without limitation, class room installations
and student server installations which are intended to be used by students for educational
purposes. Installations aimed at administrational or organizational purposes are not regarded as
Educational Environment.
3. License Grant
Subject to the terms and conditions of this License Agreement, eGenix.com hereby grants
Licensee a non-exclusive, world-wide license to
1) use the Software to the extent of authorizations Licensee has acquired and
2) distribute, make and install copies to support the level of use authorized, providing
Licensee reproduces this License Agreement and any other legends of ownership on
each copy, or partial copy, of the Software.
If Licensee acquires this Software as a program upgrade, Licensee's authorization to use the
Software from which Licensee upgraded is terminated.
Licensee will ensure that anyone who uses the Software does so only in compliance with the
terms of this License Agreement.
Licensee may not
1) use, copy, install, compile, modify, or distribute the Software except as provided in this
License Agreement;
2) reverse assemble, reverse engineer, reverse compile, or otherwise translate the Software
except as specifically permitted by law without the possibility of contractual waiver; or
3) rent, sublicense or lease the Software.
4. Authorizations
The extent of authorization depends on the ownership of a Proof of Authorization for the
Software.
Usage of the Software for any other purpose not explicitly covered by this License Agreement
or granted by the Proof of Authorization is not permitted and requires the written prior
permission from eGenix.com.
5. Modifications
Software modifications may only be distributed in form of patches to the original files contained
in the Software Distribution.
The patches must be accompanied by a legend of origin and ownership and a visible message
stating that the patches are not original Software delivered by eGenix.com, nor that eGenix.com
can be held liable for possible damages related directly or indirectly to the patches if they are
applied to the Software.
6. Experimental Code or Features
The Software may include components containing experimental code or features which may be
modified substantially before becoming generally available.
These experimental components or features may not be at the level of performance or
compatibility of generally available eGenix.com products. eGenix.com does not guarantee that
any of the experimental components or features contained in the eGenix.com will ever be made
generally available.
7. Expiration and License Control Devices
Components of the Software may contain disabling or license control devices that will prevent
them from being used after the expiration of a period of time or on Installation Targets for
which no license was obtained.
Licensee will not tamper with these disabling devices or the components. Licensee will take
precautions to avoid any loss of data that might result when the components can no longer be
used.
8. NO WARRANTY
eGenix.com is making the Software available to Licensee on an "AS IS" basis. SUBJECT TO ANY
STATUTORY WARRANTIES WHICH CAN NOT BE EXCLUDED, EGENIX.COM MAKES NO

INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, OR OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS) AS A
RESULT OF USING, MODIFYING OR DISTRIBUTING THE SOFTWARE, OR ANY DERIVATIVE

EXCESS OF THE AGGREGATE AMOUNTS PAID TO EGENIX.COM UNDER THIS LICENSE
AGREEMENT DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEEDING THE DATE THE
CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT
APPLY TO LICENSEE.
10. Termination
This License Agreement will automatically terminate upon a material breach of its terms and
conditions if not cured within thirty (30) days of written notice by eGenix.com. Upon

License Agreement.
12. Third Party Rights
Any software or documentation in source or binary form provided along with the Software that
is associated with a separate license agreement is licensed to Licensee under the terms of that
license agreement. This License Agreement does not apply to those portions of the Software.
Copies of the third party licenses are included in the Software Distribution.
13. High Risk Activities
The Software is not fault-tolerant and is not designed, manufactured or intended for use or
resale as on-line control equipment in hazardous environments requiring fail-safe performance,
such as in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication systems, air
traffic control, direct life support machines, or weapons systems, in which the failure of the
Software, or any software, tool, process, or service that was developed using the Software,
could lead directly to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage
("High Risk Activities").
Accordingly, eGenix.com specifically disclaims any express or implied warranty of fitness for
High Risk Activities.

waived or limited by contract.
Nothing in this License Agreement shall be deemed to create any relationship of agency,
partnership, or joint venture between eGenix.com and Licensee.

unenforceable, such provision shall be modified to the extent necessary to render it enforceable
without losing its intent, or, if no such modification is possible, be severed from this License
Agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
License Agreement.

Germany, excluding conflict of law provisions. It shall not be governed by the United Nations
