ABSS Licence Agreement

 

IMPORTANT – READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE USE. This is the Software Licence Agreement (Agreement). As you have purchased the Product (consisting of the User Documentation and the installation CD or other media containing the Software), following notification of the Licence you are now legally bound by its conditions. HOWEVER, if the Licence Agreement contains anything of which you were not aware prior to purchasing the Product or do not agree to be bound by, DO NOT INSTALL THE SOFTWARE but return the Product to the reseller in its entirety and a full refund of the purchase price will be made. By installing the Software and keeping the Product you are confirming that you have purchased the Product subject to this Licence and are bound by its provisions.

TRIAL VERSION SOFTWARE LIMITATION. If you use this Software on a trial basis prior to purchase, then additional restrictions govern its use. The Trial Version is intended to be used only for evaluation purposes and whilst you may create your own company data files (“Company Files”) you will have access to your Company Files only for a period of 7 days from the date of creation of each Company File. Thereafter, you will be able to access the Company Files created by you only upon your purchase of the full version of the Software product licence. Upon your purchase of the full version of the Software product licence, the restrictions in this paragraph (Trial Version Software Limitation) shall no longer apply, but you acknowledge that your use of the full version of the Software product licence will be conditioned on your agreeing to the terms of the Software Licence Agreement accompanying the full version of the Software product licence.

In the event of an upgrade or Product exchange the Licence hereby granted is automatically transferred to the new version or Products.

(g) Protection and Security You agree to use your best endeavours and to take all reasonable steps to safeguard the Software to ensure that no unauthorised person has access to the Product and that there is no unauthorised copying or distribution of the Software or User Documentation.

The Publisher warrants that the media on which the Software is recorded and the User Documentation provided with it are free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of 30 days from the date of your original purchase. Except for the limited warranty described above, the Software is sold as is and you are assuming the entire risk as to its quality and performance. It is your responsibility to verify the results obtained from the use of the Software.

If during the 30-day limited warranty period, you discover physical defects in the media on which the Software was recorded or in the User Documentation, the Publisher will replace them at no charge to you, provided you return the item to be replaced with proof of purchase to the Publisher. THIS IS YOUR SOLE REMEDY. IN NO EVENT WILL THE PUBLISHER BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SIMILAR DAMAGES, EVEN IF THE PUBLISHER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights that vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. In the event that any of the above limitations or exclusions is held to be unenforceable, the Publisher’s total liability shall not exceed the amount of the Licence fee you paid.

This Licence constitutes the entire agreement between the Publisher and the Licensee and any prior representations, statement or undertaking howsoever made are expressly cancelled. No amendment or modification to this Licence shall be valid unless it shall be in writing and signed by an authorised representative of the Publisher.
