License Grants
The

to the terms and conditions set forth in this
EULA:
-
Subject
to Section 2(b), you may install and
use the Software on a single computer;
or install and store the Software
on a storage device, such as a network
server, used only to install the Software
on your other computers over an internal

a license for the Software may not be
shared, installed or used concurrently
on different computers.
2.
Portable or Home Computer Use for Software
Requiring Mandatory Product Activation. For
Software requiring Mandatory Production Activation,
in addition to the single copy of the Software
permitted in Section 2(a), the primary user
of the computer on which the Software is installed
may make a second copy of the Software and
install it on either a portable computer or
a computer located at his or her home for
his or her exclusive use, provided that:
(A) the second copy of the Software on the
portable or home computer (i) is not used
at the same time as the copy of the Software
on the primary computer and (ii) is used by
the primary user solely as allowed for such
version or edition (such as for educational
use only), (B) the second copy of the Software
is not installed or used after the time such
user is no longer the primary user of the
primary computer on which the Software is
installed, and (C) the Software was not licensed
under a site license.
-
You
may make one copy of the Software in
machine-readable form solely for backup
purposes. You must reproduce on any
such copy all copyright notices and
any other proprietary legends on the
original copy of the Software. You may
not sell or transfer any copy of the
Software made for backup purposes.
-
You
agree that LMS
may audit your use of the Software for
compliance with these terms at any time,
upon reasonable notice. In the event
that such audit reveals any use of the
Software by you other than in full compliance
with the terms of this Agreement, you
shall reimburse LMS
for all reasonable expenses
related to such audit in addition to
any other liabilities you may incur
as a result of such non-compliance.

Your
license rights under this EULA are non-exclusive.

measures in this Software that are designed
to prevent unlicensed or illegal use
of the Software. You agree that LMS

7.
Exclusive Remedy
Your exclusive remedy under the preceding

no more than ninety (90) days following

supply you with a replacement copy of the
Software that substantially conforms to the

if the Software has been altered in any way,
if the media has been damaged by misuse, accident,
abuse, modification or misapplication, or
if the failure arises out of use of the Software
with other than a recommended hardware configuration.
Any such misuse, accident, abuse, modification
or misapplication of the Software will void
the warranty above. THIS REMEDY IS THE SOLE
AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AVAILABLE TO YOU FOR

General
The laws of Republic of Ireland shall govern
all matters relating to this Agreement and use of the products of LMS.
The United Nations Convention on contracts for the international sale of goods is expressly disclaimed.
Any controversy or dispute arising out of this Agreement, the interpretation of any provision hereof,
or the action or inaction of any party hereto shall be submitted to arbitration in the Republic of Ireland,
in accordance with the International Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association
(the "AAA International Rules") then in effect, conducted by one arbitrator either mutually agreed upon by the parties to
this Agreement or chosen in accordance with the AAA International Rules.
Each party shall have no longer than three (3) days to present its position.
Either party may apply to the arbitrator seeking injunctive relief until the arbitration award is rendered or
the controversy is resolved. Either party also may, without waiving any remedy under this Agreement,
seek any interim or provisional relief that is necessary to protect the rights or property of that party
pending the establishment of the arbitral tribunal (or pending the arbitral tribunal's determination of the
merits of the controversy) and for the purposes of seeking such interim relief User shall consent to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Republic of Ireland. The successful party to the arbitration or
any litigation relating to this Agreement shall be entitled to an award for reasonable
costs and attorney's fees, as determined by the arbitrators. Any award or decision obtained from any such
arbitration proceeding shall be final and binding on the parties, and judgment upon any award thus obtained
may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have
the power to award damages and injunctive relief.
This EULA contains the complete agreement
between the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof, and supersedes all prior or
contemporaneous agreements or understandings,
whether oral or written. You agree that any
varying or additional terms contained in any
purchase order or other written notification
or document issued by you in relation to the
Software licensed hereunder shall be of no
effect. The failure or delay of LMS
to exercise any of its rights under
this EULA or upon any breach of this EULA
shall not be deemed a waiver of those rights
or of the breach.
No
LMS reseller, dealer, agent
or employee is authorized to make any amendment
to this EULA.
If
any provision of this EULA shall be held by
a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary
to law, that provision will be enforced to
the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining
provisions of this EULA will remain in full
force and effect.
