Licence Agreement
Licence Agreement
This is a legally valid contract between you, the end user, and Testo. When
you or a person authorised by you opens the sealed CD-ROM package, you
recognise the provisions of this contract. If you do not agree with the terms
and conditions, you must immediately return the unopened software package with
the accompanying items, including all written documents and other containers,
to the place from which you bought the software, which will give you a full
refund of the purchase price.
Granting of a licence
This licence entitles you to use a copy of the Testo software which was
acquired with this licence on a single computer subject to the condition that
the software is only ever used on one single computer at any one time. If you
have bought multiple licences for the software, you may only have as many
copies in use as you have licen-ces. The software is “in use” on a computer if
it is loaded in the intermediate memory or RAM or stored on a per-manent
memory, e.g. a hard disk, of this computer, with the exception that a copy
which is installed on a network server for the sole purpose of distribution to
other computers is not “in use”. If the foreseeable number of users of the
software exceeds the number of licences acquired, you must ensure, through the
necessary mechanisms or procedures, that the number of persons using the
software at the same time does not exceed the number of licences.
Copyright
The software is protected against copying by copyright laws, international
agreements and other legal provisions. You may not copy the software, the
handbooks for the product or any other written documents accompanying the
software. The software may not be licensed, let or leased to third parties. If
the software is not fitted with a dongle, you may either make a single copy of
the software solely for backup or archiving purposes or transfer the software
to a single hard disk, provided that you keep the original solely for backup
or archiving purposes. You are not permitted to reverse engineer, decompile or
disassemble the software. Testo SE & Co. KGaA, Lenzkirch, may take legal
action against you for any breach of property rights by you or by any person
acting, directly or indirectly, under your authority.
Limited guarantee
- Testo guarantees for a period of 90 days from purchase of the software by the buyer, or for a longer minimum period if such a period is prescribed by the laws of the country in which the product is sold, that the software conforms to general standards defined in the accompanying documentation. Testo expressly does not guarantee that the software will operate without interruption or without errors. Should the software not function according to the accompanying documentation when in normal use, the buyer will have the right to return the software to Testo within the warranty period and to inform Testo in writing of the deficient functional capacity. Testo will only be bound to make a functional copy of the software available to the buyer within a reasonable period of time from receipt of the notification of functional incapacity or, should a copy not be available for any reason, to reimburse the buyer for the purchase price.
- Any warranty in respect of the software, the associated manuals and written material extending above and bey-ond the limited guarantee outlined above is excluded.
- Neither Testo nor the suppliers of Testo are liable to pay compensation for any losses arising as a result of use of this Testo product or the inability to use this Testo product, even if Testo has been informed of the possibility of such a loss. This exclusion does not apply for losses occasioned through intent or gross negligence on the part of Testo. Claims founded on mandatory statutory provisions regarding product liability are likewise unaffected.
