End User License Agreement (EULA)

Important - Please Read Carefully

If you do not agree with the conditions of this license agreement, you are not entitled to install or use the software product. The software product is protected by copyright laws, international copyright treaties, and other intellectual property laws and agreements.

1. Subject of the Contract

The subject of this contract is the computer program, its description, the user manual, and any accompanying written material (henceforth referred to as "software").

UpdateStar acknowledges that, at the current state of technology, it is not possible to create software that works perfectly in all applications and combinations. The subject of this contract is therefore software that is fit for the purposes detailed in the description and user manual.

2. License Granting

For the duration of this contract, UpdateStar grants you a simple, non-exclusive, and personal right (henceforth "license") to use one copy of the software on a single computer. If this computer has multiple users, this right applies to all users of the system.

As a license holder, you may physically transfer the software (i.e., saved on a data carrier).

3. Description of Further Rights and Limits

The license holder is prohibited from:

• Altering, translating, reverse-engineering, decompiling, or disassembling the software without advance written permission from UpdateStar
• Creating derivative products from the software or copies of the written material, translating or altering the written material, or creating derivative products from the written material
• Changing or removing copyright marks on copies of the software
• Renting or lending the software

The license holder may permanently transfer all rights from this license agreement to another person, provided the recipient agrees to all conditions of this license.

The license holder must use the software only in compliance with all relevant laws.

4. Ownership of Rights

Any ownership rights applying to the software, including but not limited to copyright laws, belong to UpdateStar. Any rights not explicitly claimed are reserved by UpdateStar.

By accepting this license agreement, UpdateStar grants only a right to use the software as described in the license conditions. This does not imply a right to the software itself. In particular, UpdateStar reserves all publication, reproduction, processing, and utilization rights to the software.

5. Reproduction

The software and accompanying written material are protected by copyright laws. You have the right to create copies of the software. Copyright marks present in the software may not be removed. Unaltered copying of the software in original form is explicitly allowed.

Provided you distribute only the complete installation version, you may reproduce the installation data as often as desired. However, you may only distribute exact copies without alteration.

You may not demand any compensation for such reproduction. You may not distribute or market this product in combination with other products—whether commercially or non-commercially—without advance written permission from UpdateStar.

6. Term of the Agreement

This agreement is valid indefinitely. The license holder's right to use this software is automatically removed without notice if they violate any terms of this agreement. Upon termination, the license holder is obligated to destroy the software, all copies of the software, and the written material.

7. Compensation for Breach of Contract

You are responsible for any damages arising from copyright breach if you violate these contract terms.

8. Changes and Updates

UpdateStar is entitled to update the software at its discretion. UpdateStar is not obligated to make updated versions available to all license holders. Any additional software code made available to you as an update is considered part of the software and is therefore subject to the terms of this agreement.

9. UpdateStar's Guarantees and Responsibility

• (a) UpdateStar guarantees the original license holder that the data medium carrying the software is free of errors at the point of delivery, assuming normal operating conditions and maintenance.
• (b) If the delivered data carrier is faulty, the purchaser can demand a replacement during the 24-month guarantee period by returning the data carrier to UpdateStar.
• (c) For these reasons and those mentioned in clause 1, UpdateStar accepts no responsibility for errors in the software. UpdateStar does not guarantee that the software will meet your particular requirements or function together with other software you have chosen. You are responsible for the correct software choice, its usage consequences, and intended results. The same applies to accompanying written material. If the software is fundamentally unfit for use as described in clause 1, you have the right to cancel the contract. UpdateStar has the same right if creating fundamentally fit software is not practically possible.
• (d) UpdateStar is not responsible for any damages unless caused deliberately or arising from gross negligence on UpdateStar's part. In contracts with traders, responsibility for gross negligence is excluded. This does not apply to assurances by UpdateStar referring to specific characteristics. Responsibility for damages not included in such assurances will not be accepted.

10. Jurisdiction

If the license holder is a registered merchant under German law, the law applicable to this contract is the law of the Federal Republic of Germany. In this case, the state and federal courts of the Federal Republic of Germany assume responsibility.
