Trial Licence
1.1
If the Licensee has opted for a free trial of the Software, the Licensor grants to the
Licensee a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to permit a single Licensed
Developer (as defined in Clause 2.2) to use the Software free-of charge for a period of thirty
(30) days from the date that the Software was downloaded (the “Trial Period”) solely for the
purpose of carrying out an internal evaluation of the Software to determine whether the
Licensee wishes to purchase a full licence of the Software.
1.2
The licence granted under Clause 1.1 shall terminate automatically at the end of the Trial
Period and the Licensee must make no further use of the Software thereafter, without
purchasing a full licence of the Software.
1.3
The Licensee may only benefit from one free trial of the Software. If the Licensee wishes to
benefit from additional free trials it must contact the Licensor to request this and Licensor may
(in its absolute discretion) decline or agree to any such request. If the Licensor discovers that
the Licensee has benefitted from more than one free trial, without obtaining the Licensor’s prior
written consent, the Licensor reserves the right to charge the Licensee the applicable licence
fee for the Software in full.
1.4
The Licensee acknowledges that the trial version of the Software may have limited or
restricted functionality and that the Licensor shall be under no obligation to provide technical
support in relation to the trial version of the Software.
Full licence
2.1
If the Licensee has purchased a full licence of the Software, provided that the Licensee has
paid the applicable licence fee in full, the Licensor grants to the Licensee, perpetual, non-

2.1.1
download and store a copy of the Software and Documentation on the Licensee’s

only as a fully integrated part or component of a complete Licensee Application.
2.2
The Licensee must purchase a separate licence for each of its developers who are
permitted to use the Software in accordance with Clause 2.1.2 above. Each licence purchased
enables the Licensee to permit a single named developer who is employed by the Licensee or
working as a contractor for the licence (a “Licensed Developer”) to use the Software to develop
Licensee Applications for the Licensee. Each Licensed Developer working directly with the
Software must hold a licence. The Licensee agrees to keep up to date records of all Licensed
Developers who it has permitted to use the Software and to make such records available to the
Licensor on request. The Licensee also agrees to ensure that all Licensed Developers, who it
permits to use the Software, comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
2.3
Except as expressly set out in Clause 2.1 and Clause 2.2 above no other rights or licences
to use the Software or Documentation are granted to the Licensee under the terms of this
Agreement. In particular, but without limitation, the Licensee may not redistribute or transfer
the Software, other than as part of a bona fide complete Licensee Application and the Licensee
may not (without the Licensor’s prior written consent) do the following:
2.3.1
Use the Software to develop any Licensee Application which is directly or indirectly
competitive with the Software, or publish or redistribute any part of the Software as part
of such a product; or

Use the Software to develop any Licensee Application which does not contain
significant value added features, or publish or redistribute any part of the Software as
part of such a product.
2.4
If the Licensee redistributes the Software (or any part thereof) as part of a Licensee
Application it agrees that the Licensee Application must be made available under the terms of
an end user licence agreement which, to the maximum extent permitted by law;
2.4.1
prohibits the end user from modifying, disassembling, decompiling or reverse
engineering the Software;
2.4.2
prohibits the end user from using or distributing the Software other than as part of
the Licensee Application; and
2.4.3
disclaims on behalf of Scott Logic Limited all warranties in respect of the Software
and all liability in respect of any losses which may arise from the end user’s use of the
Software.
2.5

or the terms and conditions of this Agreement, it must obtain the Licensor’s prior written
