- Grant of License: Graffix grants to Customer the right to install the Software on a storage device of up to the number of computers permitted by the software Software licenses that the Customer purchased.

(b) The “Studio”type license permits several (quantities may change without notice) seats (computer installations) simultaneously at one business location, including portable computers used for business purposes. (c)”Corporate” licenses permit a higher number of seats which may be distributed across several locations provided they are all part the business holding the license. (d) All levels of licenses may be freely deactivated on one computer and activated on another as needed, just as a book may be read by several people, but only one person at a time.
If the Software was registered to a company as indicated during the checkout process, the Software is registered to the company. If the Software was registered to an individual as indicated during the checkout process on the Graffix online store, the Software is registered to the individual irrespective of the employer.
- Trial and Demo use: Software other than those products identified as “Free” will operate in Trial mode for either a set number of days or a set number of operations from the first launch. During this Trial period, the Software may not be fully functional (varies per product). At the end of the Trial period, the Software will either be converted to a feature-limited Demo mode or cease to function (varies per product).
- Intellectual property: The Software and any authorized copies that the Customer makes are the intellectual property of and are owned by Graffix and its suppliers. The Software is protected by law, including but not limited to the copyright laws of the United States and other countries, and by international treaty provisions. This agreement does not grant the Customer any intellectual property rights in the Software.
- Restrictions and transfer of rights: The software is owned by Graffix and possibly in part by its suppliers, and is protected by United States copyright laws and international treaty provisions. The Customer agrees not to reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, create derivative works, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code of the Software. The Customer may not sell, rent, sublicense or lease the Software or Documentation.
The Customer agrees that the Software is subject to restrictions and controls imposed by the United States Export Administration Act and regulations thereunder. The Customer agrees that the use of the Software is in compliance with the Act and the regulations thereunder.

- Updates: If the Software is an Update to a prior version of Graffix software (the “Prior Version”), then the Customer may use prior versions only on the same Computer on which it has installed. Any obligations that Graffix may have to support Prior Versions during the License Term may end upon the availability of this Update. No other use of the Update is permitted. Additional Updates may be licensed to the Customer by Graffix with additional or different terms.

Because some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above exclusions may not apply to the Customer.
