SUREbridge Software Tool

This Agreement contains the general conditions for the licensing of the right to use the standard software products (hereinafter: “Software”) of AICE Consulting SrI, Via Boccaccio 20, 56017 San Giuliano Terme, PI (hereinafter: AICE) or of third-party licensors.
The granting of any license is subject to the signing of this agreement, the privacy policy, with consent to the processing of data referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article II (purpose of use of data), and the registration form, which the Licensee must carefully complete, sign and return to AICE.

I. License

1. Upon payment of the agreed license fee, AICE grants the Licensee the non-exclusive and transferable right under the conditions set forth in Article III to install and use the Software, documentation and any material provided with the Software itself (hereinafter the “Documentation”) and the corresponding Activation Code for internal use only (hereinafter the “Activation Code”). The License does not include the right to obtain the Software in source format.

2. In the event that Licensee has purchased a single user license, the Software must be installed and used by Licensee on a single computer. In the event that Licensee has purchased a multi-user license, the Software may be installed on a number of computers corresponding to the number of licenses purchased.

3. The Activation Code is provided upon Licensee’s communication of the request code and may only be used on one computer. Licensee may request an Authorization Code number corresponding to the number of licenses purchased (in the case of multiple user licenses). Together with the Activation Code, indications will be given on the activation procedure, which may also require an internet connection. If the activation procedure is not followed, the Software will not work. AICE does not assume any responsibility in the event that the Licensee does not execute or does not execute the activation procedure correctly.
Licensee agrees that AICE and any of its partners may use the information and data provided by itself, an authorized reseller or any third party acting on its behalf in connection with the purchase of the software license to determine the Activation Code.

4. In the event of hardware changes or Licensee’s willingness to use the Software on a computer other than the original application, Licensee shall request a new Activation Code. For each license of use, it will be possible, free of charge, to request only twice the change of computer and the corresponding issue of a new Activation Code. The request to issue a new Activation Code for the times following the second one, will be subject to the payment of an amount equal to 300,00€ excluding VAT for each Activation Code requested. This paragraph also applies in the event of theft or loss of the computer for which an Activation Code has been issued, as well as any other event, including force majeure, that renders the Software and/or the computer on which it is installed unusable or no longer available to the Licensee.

5. The Documentation and Software may be provided through an electronic data transfer system.

6. AICE reserves the right to modify the software at any time. Licensee shall be entitled to any software updates for a period of 12 months from the date of delivery of the Submission to Licensee. After the 12 months referred to in the previous period, Licensee may continue to use the latest version of the software for which it has obtained an Activation Code. The right to any updates refers only to purchased software/modules and not to any additional software/modules, which will be subject to further payment if required. Please note that any software updates are not guaranteed; in this regard, the Licensee expressly declares that he has nothing to claim in the event of failure or reduced issuance of updates and/or changes to the software and in the event that other software/modules are released not included in the original license and therefore not free even in the period of 12 months from the date of delivery of the Submission to the Licensee.

7. In order to benefit from any updates, you may need to enter a new Activation Code or follow a different procedure for activating the new software. In order to benefit from any new updates, the Licensee may be required to sign an update to this agreement; in the event that the Licensee does not accept the signing of the new agreement, if required, will lose the right to updates, without being able to have anything to claim from AICE. The issue of the new Activation Code without changing the computer on which the software is installed, in case of updating the software to a later version, is not considered for the purposes of paragraph 4 of this article.

8. Periodically, an internet connection may be required in order to validate the Activation Code and continue to use the software. AICE assumes no responsibility for malfunctions due to lack of Internet connection, firewall settings or other settings on the Licensee’s computer. To this end, the software may automatically connect to AICE servers or domains hosted on third party servers, in the availability of AICE, in order to verify the correct status of the Licenses. Licensee expressly consents to the transfer and storage of information about the computer in use and License data.

9. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, in no event may Licensee use any name or trademark owned by AICE for any purpose whatsoever, or any other name or trademark similar to it that is likely to cause confusion or misunderstanding, without the prior written consent of AICE.

II. The Copying and decoding

1. Licensee may make an appropriate number of copies of the Software, Documentation and Activation Code for backup purposes only. Licensee shall keep the Software, Documentation, Activation Code (hereinafter “Submitted Material”) securely and shall take appropriate protective measures to prevent third party access to the Submitted Material.

2. Submitted Material may not be modified, adapted, disassembled, decompiled, rebuilt or transformed. The prohibition referred to in this paragraph shall not apply if the aforementioned prohibitions are incompatible with the law in force.

3. The Software may only be used in conjunction with the corresponding Activation Code.

4. The Licensee shall immediately forfeit the right to use the Software and Documentation if the use of the same does not strictly comply with the provisions of articles I, II, III, IV of this Agreement.

III. Transfer of the license to third parties

1. Licensee is expressly prohibited from transferring the Software or otherwise permitting its use to third parties, whether for free or for consideration, without prior written consent from AICE. AICE undertakes not to unreasonably withhold such consent.

2. In the event that AICE has given such consent, the software transfer will be valid on condition that the third party enters into a contract with AICE with the same content as this contract. The terms and obligations of confidentiality set forth in this Agreement shall also apply to third parties provided that:
(i) Licensee has transferred the Software and all Documentation to third parties by sending them all original media and copies thereof;
(ii) Licensee has permanently ceased use of the Software and Documentation.

3. In the event that AICE has issued such consent, the issuance of a new Activation Code shall be subject to Article I, paragraph IV. In particular, the issue of an Activation Code for each license to be transferred shall be free of charge if the assigning Licensee and any other previous holders of the same License have not already requested two or more times the change of computer and therefore the issue of a new Activation Code for the same license; otherwise, the same shall be for consideration, according to the amount established in Article I paragraph IV (€300.00 excluding VAT for each Activation Code issued).

4. After the transfer of the license, in any case, the issue of a new Activation Code for the reasons referred to in Article I paragraph IV will be for consideration, according to the amount and procedures set out in Article I paragraph IV (300.00 € excluding VAT for each Activation Code issued).

IV. DEMO licences

1. This Article shall apply only to DEMO-type licences.

2. The use of DEMO licences shall be permitted only to the user to whom the licence has been issued for the period of time during which the licence is valid. The use of the software outside this period is illegal. AICE reserves the right to take legal action in order to protect itself against possible infringements.

3. In contrast to Article III, DEMO licences are not transferable or transferable to third parties.

4. Unlike what is stated in Article I, paragraph 4: DEMO licenses can be installed on a single computer and you cannot use the Software on a different computer under any circumstances, even as a result of events of force majeure, in case of hardware changes, the user may lose the opportunity to use the license.

5. Unlike what is stated in Article I, paragraph 6: the user of a license type DEMO has no right to any updates of the software.

6. It should be noted that the DEMO version is not subject to the full validation, testing and maintenance of the corresponding commercial product and therefore is not usable for professional purposes.

7. The use of the DEMO license is granted for the sole purpose of evaluating the software and is not granted for professional purposes or for any other activity for profit. AICE reserves the right to take legal action in order to protect itself against possible violations.

8. AICE does not give any guarantee of any kind on the use of the software with DEMO licenses.

V. Limitation of Warranties

1. Upon receipt of any Submitted material, Licensee shall make a preliminary inspection of such Submitted material. Any discrepancy or defect in the Submitted Material with respect to the qualities and functional characteristics specified in the Documentation must be reported by the Licensee in writing within ten (10) days of delivery or discovery of the discrepancies or defects in the event of discrepancies or hidden defects, under penalty of forfeiture of the Licensee’s right to assert any defect or defect in the Submitted Material. Inspection of the Software assumes installation and use of the Software, unless such installation is materially impossible for reasons beyond Licensee’s control.

2. AICE warrants that the Material sent to Licensee will, at the time of shipment, have the qualities and functional characteristics specified in the Documentation. AICE makes no warranty as to the uninterrupted or error-free installation and use of the Software.

3. If the Submitted Material has the defects or non-conformities referred to in paragraph 2 above, AICE will make every effort to correct such non-conformities or eliminate such defects within a reasonable period of time from the date of receipt of the written report of the non-conformities or non-conformities found by the Licensee. AICE’s corrective actions with respect to the Software may include:

(i) providing an updated or improved version of the Licensed Software or
(ii) providing individual patches (software corrections).
If a defect reported by a Licensee falls under any of the warranty exclusion or limitation conditions set forth in Section 2, AICE is under no circumstances obliged to rectify the defect or issue corrections/updates.

4. Without prejudice to paragraph 2 of this Article V above, AICE makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, with respect to the Submission including, without limitation, (implied) warranties as to the suitability or appropriateness of the Submission for Licensee’s intended use, or as to any infringement of third party rights arising from the use of the Submission. This article shall not limit in any way Licensee’s rights under warranties given in its favour by software vendors other than AICE.

5. Under no circumstances, for any reason and for no reason whatsoever, shall any anomalies and/or malfunctions of the software, or caused by the software, constitute grounds for the refund and/or non-payment of the same.

6. The purchase of the software does not imply any obligation for AICE with regard to assistance. The licensee may contact the email address lic.surebridge@aiceconsulting.it to receive technical assistance, without prejudice to the absence of obligations to assistance referred to in the previous period. AICE does not assume any responsibility in case of delayed or non-response to the request(s) for assistance.
