OPENING THIS PACKAGE, CLICKING THE ACCEPTANCE DIALOG BOX OR USING ANY PART OF THE SOFTWARE SIGNIFIES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS, PROMPTLY RETURN THE PACKAGE UNOPENED AND UNUSED.
This Software License Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into and is effective as of today (“Effective Date”), by and between Qmetry, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“QMetry”) with its principal place of business at 3200 Patrick Henry Drive, Suite 250, Santa Clara, CA 95054, and Organization or Individual who installs this software (“Licensee”). “Party” means QMetry or Licensee and “Parties” means both QMetry and Licensee.
WHEREAS, QMetry owns the QAS alpha, or other preliminary version of a QMetry software product, related documentation, and any pre-generally available updates, new versions, and upgrades, if any (collectively, the “QAS Product”) or has the rights to license use of the QAS Product, and is willing to grant to Licensee a limited license to use such QAS Product;
WHEREAS, Licensee and QMetry have agreed to a no-obligation evaluation for the purpose of performing tests and evaluations of the QAS Product for Licensee’s own internal use;
WHEREAS, QMetry desires to receive from Licensee feedback and results regarding the testing of the QAS Product.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises set forth in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1. License
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, QMetry grants Licensee, effective upon delivery of the QAS Product, a worldwide, revocable (pursuant to the termination section of the Agreement), non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable license to use the QAS Product on any central processing unit (“CPU”) owned or leased by Licensee and located at its premises, solely for the purpose of Licensee performing internal testing of the QAS Product (“Purpose”).
QAS Product is NOT a QMetry software product generally available for licensing by its customers (“GA Product”). If QMetry does release a GA Product, replacing the QAS Product, and Licensee desires to acquire a license to use that GA Product, then Licensee must license that GA Product under the then-current license terms with QMetry.

a. use the QAS Product to process production data, or where it may be used as would the GA Product;
b. use the QAS Product with data or information that has not been backed up;
c. decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, or otherwise attempt to derive the QAS Product’s source code from object code, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law or treaty despite this limitation;
d. sell, rent, lease, license, sublicense, display, modify, outsource, or otherwise transfer the QAS Product to any third party;
e. release any results of performance tests related to the QAS Product to any third party without QMetry’s prior written consent;
f. copy or make any derivative work based upon the QAS Product;
g. use the QAS Product for any purpose other than the Purpose; and
h. export or re-export the QAS Product without both the written consent of QMetry and the appropriate U.S. and/or foreign government license.
3. Fees and Costs
a. There are no license fees for Licensee’s use of the QAS Product under this Agreement.
b. Licensee is responsible for all costs and expenses associated with the use of the QAS Product and the performance of all testing and evaluation activities.
4. Copyright and Ownership
All title to and intellectual property rights in the QAS Product, including, but not limited to all modifications thereto, are owned by QMetry and/or its licensors, and are protected by both United States copyright law and applicable international copyright treaties. Licensee agrees not to claim or assert title to or ownership of the QAS Product. To the extent expressly permitted by applicable law or treaty, Licensee may copy the QAS Product for backup or archival purposes, but for no other purpose. Licensee may not remove or alter any copyright or proprietary notice from copies of the QAS Product.
5. Feedback; Consent to the Use of Data
a. Upon request, Licensee shall promptly provide to QMetry, in writing, any relevant feedback on the functionality and performance of the QAS Product and test results (“Feedback”). QMetry owns all Feedback relating to the QAS Product. Licensee hereby assigns to QMetry all rights, title, and interest in and to the Feedback and all intellectual property therein. If requested by QMetry, Licensee agrees to execute such further instruments as QMetry may reasonably request confirming QMetry’s ownership interest in the Feedback. Licensee expressly acknowledges that its testing of the QAS Product is undertaken on a volunteer basis and it shall have no right in the QAS Product or Feedback, whether in original form (as provided by Licensee) or in respect of any derivative work (whether or not based upon, in whole or in part, on any Feedback).
b. Aggregate/Anonymous Data. QMetry may generate and collect learnings, logs and usage data (“Aggregate/Anonymous Data”) for ongoing product improvement. Licensee agrees that QMetry may use Aggregate/Anonymous Data for any business purpose during or after the term of this Agreement, including without limitation to develop and improve other products and services, as long as the Aggregate/Anonymous Data does not identify Licensee personally. QMetry collects and uses analytics data as described in our Privacy Policy http://www.qmetry.com/privacy-policy/
6. Confidentiality
“Confidential Information” means all proprietary or confidential information that is disclosed by QMetry to Licensee or which Licensee has access to in connection with this Agreement, and includes, without limitation, (i) any and all information relating to the QAS Product or services provided by QMetry, or QMetry’s financial information, software code, flow charts, techniques, specifications, development and marketing plans, strategies, and forecasts; (ii) the terms of this Agreement; and (iii) Feedback. Confidential Information does not include information that Licensee can demonstrate: (a) was lawfully in Licensee’s possession without any obligation of confidentiality prior receipt from QMetry; (b) is or becomes a matter of public knowledge through no fault of Licensee; (c) is lawfully received by Licensee from a third party without violation of a duty of confidentiality; or (d) is independently developed by Licensee without use of or reference to the Confidential Information. Licensee shall maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information made available, directly or indirectly, by QMetry. Licensee shall exercise a reasonable degree of care to protect and preserve the Confidential Information which shall include, without limitation, an obligation to not, without the QMetry’s prior written consent: (a) transfer or disclose any Confidential Information to any third party, including to any patenting entity; (b) use any of the Confidential Information for any purpose other than in connection with the Purpose; (c) make copies of the Confidential Information for any purpose other than the Purpose; or (d) take any other action with respect to the Confidential Information that is inconsistent with the confidential and proprietary nature of such information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee may disclose Confidential Information to Licensee’s employees who have need to know such Confidential Information solely in connection with the Purpose provided that such employees are bound by obligations of confidentiality and use substantially similar (and in no case less protective) to obligations contained in this Agreement. Licensee shall assume full responsibility for any breach of the confidentiality and use obligations in this Agreement caused by any such employees. If the Licensee becomes aware of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information, then Licensee will promptly and fully notify QMetry of all facts known to it concerning such unauthorized use or disclosure. In addition, if the Licensee or any of its employees or agents are required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information, or documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or other similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, the Licensee will not disclose the Confidential Information without providing QMetry with commercially reasonable advance prior written notice to allow QMetry to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or to waive compliance with this provision. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or if QMetry waives in writing compliance with the terms of this Agreement, Licensee agrees to furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which Licensee is advised to furnish by written opinion of Licensee’s counsel and to exercise reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment of such Confidential Information. In any event, the Licensee will exercise all commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of QMetry’s Confidential Information, including, without limitation, cooperating with QMetry to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the Confidential Information.
7. Equitable Relief
A breach by Licensee of any of the promises or agreements contained herein may result in irreparable and continuing damage to QMetry for which there will be no adequate remedy at law, and QMetry shall be entitled to seek, in addition to its other rights and remedies hereunder or at law, injunctive and/or other equitable relief, and such further relief as may be proper (including monetary damages if appropriate).
8. Termination
This Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of:
a. six months from the Effective Date or
b. immediately upon QMetry’s notice of termination for convenience.
Upon termination, Licensee shall cease using the QAS Product and shall uninstall the QAS Product from each applicable CPU.
