OPENEYE SCIENTIFIC SOFTWARE, INC.
Academic License Agreement
BY INSTALLING OR USING THE
OPENEYE SCIENTIFIC SOFTWARE PRODUCT THAT ACCOMPANIES THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ARE
CONSENTING TO BE BOUND BY AND ARE BECOMING A PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO
NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THE
SOFTWARE.
LICENSE GRANT
During the period covered by this agreement, OpenEye
Scientific Software Inc. ("OpenEye") grants to the Licensee a
nonexclusive license to use any publicly available software product
("Software") of OpenEye and accompanying documentation
("Documentation") in the manner described below under "Scope of
License Grant."
ACADEMIC LICENSE ELIGIBILITY
The OpenEye Software Academic License
("Academic License") is contingent on the eligibility of the Licensee,
determined solely by OpenEye, based on OpenEye Academic Licensing Policy,
below, and contingent on the continued accuracy of the pertinent information
provided by the Licensee. Any determination of academic eligibility, and
OpenEye Academic Licensing Policy, including pricing, may be changed at any
time without prior notice, at OpenEye's sole discretion.
OPENEYE ACADEMIC LICENSING POLICY
1. GOAL
OpenEye Academic Licensing Policy
("Policy") is designed to foster and support bona fide academic
research. To this end OpenEye provides Academic Licenses at no cost.
2. ACADEMIC MEANS NON-COMMERCIAL
OpenEye issues Academic Licenses for non-commercial
use only. OpenEye recognizes the complexity and diversity of academic and
commercial activities among nominally academic and commercial organizations,
and will endeavor to support academics as much as possible without compromising
OpenEye's commercial interests. Not all university research groups are
eligible. Research groups not at universities may be eligible.
3. ACADEMIC MEANS PUBLIC RESULTS
Academic Licenses are intended only for research
from which any resulting intellectual property remains in the public domain.
Research done with the software which
is intended to lead to a patent, a commercial product or
for which any of the resulting intellectual property is expected to be
held by or licensed to a private corporation, requires a standard (commercial)
license, regardless of the nature of the institution at which the research is
completed.
4. SCOPE OF ELIGIBILITY
OpenEye will determine academic License eligibility
on a research group specific case basis. Thus, eligibility may differ among
distinct research groups within a single institution, and Academic Licenses
will only apply to the research group of a specific individual (“Principal
Investigator”). Eligibility is not permanent; eligibility will be reevaluated
periodically, and Academic Licenses may be terminated at the sole discretion of
OpenEye.
5. CHANGES TO POLICY
OpenEye reserves the right to change its academic
licensing policy at any time, at its sole discretion, without prior notice. If
any such changes are unacceptable to the Licensee, the Academic License shall
be immediately terminated.
WHEN ACADEMIC BECOMES COMMERCIAL
In cases where a research project is represented as
academic, in good faith or otherwise, for which an Academic License is used,
and any data, intellectual property or products resulting from the research
project are subsequently commercialized, the Academic License agreement will
have been breached. Since the Software has been used for commercial purposes,
the Licensee agrees to compensate OpenEye based on the commercial list prices
of the Software at the time the Academic License was executed.
SCOPE OF LICENSE GRANT
Licensee may download and install the Software, and
use the Software on computers at their research site. Licensee may not: disable
or bypass any time limitation mechanism contained in the Software; modify,
translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or create derivative works
based on the Software; rent, lease, grant a security interest in, or otherwise
transfer rights to the Software; or remove any proprietary notices or labels on
the Software. Licensee may not
allow anyone other than the Principal Investigator and the immediate members of
their research group to use the software.
Licensee may not allow the Principal Investigator or their group members
to use the software in any manner other than according to the terms of this agreement.
NO WARRANTY
The Software and Documentation are provided
"AS IS" and without any warranty of any kind. OpenEye and its
suppliers disclaim all warranties and conditions, express or implied, including
warranties or conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose,
and noninfringement of third parties' rights. Some jurisdictions do not allow
exclusions or disclaimers of warranties, in which case the above exclusions or
disclaimers may not apply.
NO SUPPORT
No support is provided with an Academic License. OpenEye
will, at its own discretion and at its own schedule, review the merit of any
reported issues, requests for enhancement or questions about usage and deliver
a response if appropriate and resources permit.
TITLE
Title, ownership rights, and intellectual property
rights in the Software and Documentation shall remain in OpenEye. The Software
and Documentation are protected by copyright and other intellectual property
laws and by international treaties.
NONDISCLOSURE
Licensee shall take reasonable steps to maintain
the confidential and trade secret status of the Software, Documentation and
other proprietary OpenEye information and materials provided to Licensee.
The Licensee’s obligations under this
section shall survive termination of this Agreement for a period of three (3)
years.
TERMINATION
Unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by OpenEye,
the period covered by this agreement shall be one (1) year.
Upon reevaluation of eligibility,
OpenEye may choose to renew this agreement for additional one-year periods.
Pursuant to the section "ACADEMIC
LICENSE ELIGIBILITY", OpenEye may terminate an Academic License without
prior notice and at OpenEye’s sole discretion. In addition, this license shall
automatically and immediately terminate if Licensee fails to comply with the
terms and conditions described herein. Upon termination due to
commercialization, pursuant to the section " WHEN ACADEMIC BECOMES
COMMERCIAL," the Licensee shall purchase an appropriate commercial license
and execute a standard licensing agreement.
Upon termination in any other conditions, the Licensee will destroy
all copies of the Software and Documentation.
EXPORT CONTROLS
The Software and related technology may not be
downloaded or otherwise exported or reexported (i) into (or to a national or
resident of) Cuba, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Iran, or any other country to
which the U.S. has embargoed goods; or (ii) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury
Department's list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Commerce
Department's Table of Denial Orders. By installing or using the Software, Licensee
is agreeing to the foregoing and representing and warranting that they are not
located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any such country
or on any such list. In addition, The Licensee agrees to comply with any other
applicable U.S. export control laws and any local laws in their jurisdiction
that may impact the right to import, export, or use the Software. By installing
or using the Software, Licensee is also representing and warranting that they will
not use, or permit or authorize others to use, the Software in connection with
the design, development, production, stockpiling or use of any chemical or
biological weapons.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Under no circumstances shall OpenEye or its
suppliers or resellers be liable to Licensee or any other person for any
indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind, including
without limitation, damages for lost profits or revenue, business interruption,
loss of data, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial
damages or losses, whether foreseeable or not. In no event will OpenEye be
liable for any damages in excess of the amount received from Licensee for a
license to the software, even if OpenEye shall have been informed of the
possibility of such damages, or for any claim by any third party. Some
jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, in which case this exclusion and limitation may not
apply.
U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS. The Software is a
"commercial item," as that term is defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct.
1995), consisting of "commercial computer software" and
"commercial computer software documentation," as such terms are used
in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48
C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995), all U.S. Government End Users
acquire the Software with only those rights set forth in this License
Agreement.
GENERAL
This Agreement represents the complete agreement
concerning the license granted hereunder and may be amended only by a writing
executed by both Licensee and OpenEye. If any provision of this Agreement is
held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
necessary to make it enforceable. This Agreement shall be governed by New
Mexico law, excluding conflict of law provisions. The application of the United
Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is
expressly excluded.
