TERMS AND CONDITIONS

These Terms and Conditions and the Registration completed by you (as described in the Registration) form a legally binding agreement between you and us.

(c)            You agree that limitations on the use of, and functionality provided by, the Software (and corresponding Fees) depend upon the version of the Software that you select during Registration (e.g. home, professional or premium version). This includes limitations on the number of users, pictures and documents, contacts, communities and “Let’s Connect” permissions.

(d)            You must not copy, reproduce, publish or transmit all or part the Software, except to the extent (if any) expressly permitted by this Agreement, or by law where any right to do so cannot be excluded.

1.3          Maintenance and Support of Software

We will provide support for the version of the Software that you have licensed to the corresponding extent (if any) stated on the Website in relation to that version.

5.             TERMINATION AND SUSPENSION

5.1          Termination without cause

Either you or we may at any time, without any reason, terminate this Agreement by giving the other at least 30 days prior written notice.

5.2          Termination of Licence

The Software is provided with a licence key and an activation key, both of which are time stamped as to being valid for use. The Software will detect the potential expiry of the licence key and endeavour to inform you prior to the licence expiry that a new licence key is required or the Software will fail to operate and suspend itself. In the event of a new licence key being obtained, the Software will continue to operate according to the time and capacity parameters of the new licence key.

We may terminate the Licence with immediate effect by written notice to you if you fail to make any payment due under this Agreement (including if any payment made, or purportedly made, is reversed or not honoured).

The Licence will automatically terminate, without notice to you, if you breach any provision of the Licence. In addition, despite this Agreement, the Licence is invalid and will automatically terminate, without notice to you, if you have not obtained the Software directly from us and followed its activation procedures.

Upon termination of the Licence, you must immediately permanently delete the original and all copies of the Software in your possession, power or control.

5.3          Effect of termination

You will have no right to any refund of any Fees upon termination, except to the extent (if any) that the law requires otherwise. The termination of this Agreement will not affect the accrued rights of either party as at the date of termination. Clauses 2 to 9 will survive the termination of this Agreement, as will any other provision that by its nature is intended to survive termination.

6.             AMENDMENT

We may amend this Agreement (including the Fees) in any way at any time by notice to you. Any such amendment will not take effect earlier than 45 days after the date on which we send the notice.
