IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE, YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO DOWNLOAD, INSTALL, AND/OR USE THIS SOFTWARE.

1. License – The Lasso products, applications, components, modules, application programming interfaces (APIs), and programming language including Lasso Service, Lasso data source connectors, Lasso Instances, Lasso Web server connectors, Lasso modules, Site Administration interface, and Lasso Dynamic Markup Language (LassoScript), whether on disk, in read only memory, or on any other media or networked storage device (the “Lasso Software”) and related documentation (the “data”) are licensed to you by LassoSoft, Inc. (the “Author”). You own the disk on which the Lasso Software and data are recorded but the Author and/or the Author’s Licenser(s) retain title to the Lasso Software and related documentation.

This License allows you to install and use a single copy of the Lasso Software and data on a single computer server or virtual machine and make one copy of the Lasso Software and data in machine-readable form for backup purposes only. You may run as many Lasso Instances on a single Lasso Server installation as your license level permits. You must reproduce on such copy the Author’s copyright notice and any other proprietary legends that were on the original copy of the Lasso Software and related documentation. You may transfer all your license rights in the Lasso Software and related documentation, the backup copy of the Lasso Software and related documentation and copy of this License to another party provided the other party reads and agrees to accept the terms and conditions of this License and a transfer of ownership letter listing contact information for both parties is sent to the Author.

2. Upgrading – In order to facilitate porting existing solutions to the current version of the Lasso Software, this License allows the prior version and the current version of the software to be run concurrently for a maximum of 45 days from the purchase date of the Lasso Software. After 45 days the prior version must be destroyed and no longer used.

3. Evaluation Versions – Where supplied, evaluation versions are provided for one-time 30-day evaluation and initial product testing use. Evaluation versions, including accompanying documentation, are not licensed for use beyond the 30-day evaluation period. Lasso Server does not require an Evaluation License to run in 'developer mode'.

4. Restrictions – The Lasso Software and related documentation contains copyrighted material, trade secrets and other proprietary material and in order to protect them you may not decompose, reverse engineer, disassemble or otherwise reduce the Lasso Software to a human-perceivable form without the Author’s written permission. Open source components may be modified and made available to others free of charge provided that said modifications are designed to only work with the most current version of the Lasso software. Developers are explicitly forbidden from reverse engineering and/or performing modifications to open source components distributed with the Lasso software in such a way as to make features within said components operate within versions of Lasso software where said features are not designed by LassoSoft to operate.

5. Termination – This License is effective until terminated. You may terminate this License at any time by destroying the Lasso Software and related documentation and all copies thereof. This License will terminate immediately without notice from the Author if you fail to comply with any provision of this License. Subject to the terms of the Upgrading section above, this License will terminate upon upgrading, whether via free or paid upgrade, to a newer version of the Lasso software. Upon termination you must destroy the Lasso Software, and related documentation and all copies thereof.

FURTHERMORE, THE AUTHOR DOES NOT WARRANT OR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE USE OR THE RESULTS OF THE USE OF THE LASSO SOFTWARE AND DATA OR RELATED DOCUMENTATION IN TERMS OF THEIR CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY THE AUTHOR OR A REPRESENTATIVE AUTHORIZED BY THE AUTHOR SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY OR IN ANY WAY INCREASE THE SCOPE OF THIS WARRANTY. SHOULD THE LASSO SOFTWARE PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU (AND NOT THE AUTHOR OR A REPRESENTATIVE AUTHORIZED BY THE AUTHOR) ASSUME THE ENTIRE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

7. Limitation of Liability – UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, SHALL THE AUTHOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE LASSO SOFTWARE OR RELATED DOCUMENTATION AND DATA, EVEN IF THE AUTHOR OR AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE AUTHOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. In no event shall the Author’s total liability to you for all damages, losses, and causes of action (whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise) exceed the amount paid by you for the Lasso Software and data.
