1. GRANT OF LICENSE. This License Agreement permits you to use one copy of the Server software if included in your package (the "SOFTWARE") on a single computer, and a number of active copies of the Client software equal to the number of Client licenses you have bought. For purposes of this paragraph, "active copies" means installed versions of the Client software which have active accounts on the Server. Client software without a corresponding account on the Server is not "active."

2. COPYRIGHT. The SOFTWARE and accompanying materials (including any images, "applets", photographs, animations, video, audio, music and text incorporated into the SOFTWARE and accompanying materials) is owned by Remote Backup Systems and is protected by United States copyright laws and international treaty provisions and all other applicable national laws. Therefore, you must treat the SOFTWARE and accompanying materials like any other copyrighted material (e.g. a book or musical recording) except that you may either (a) make one copy of the SOFTWARE solely for backup or archival purposes or (b) transfer the SOFTWARE to a single hard disk provided you keep the original solely for backup or archival purposes.

3. SOFTWARE MEDIA. You may receive the SOFTWARE in disk media or on a CD-ROM or installed on the hard disk drive or ROM of your computer, or multiple forms of media.

You may not use the other media on another computer or loan, rent, lease, or transfer them to another user except as provided for below.

4. TRANSFER OF LICENSE. This license is non transferable except by written permission in advance from Remote Backup Systems when sold as part of an entire licensed business which includes the hardware, router, and firewall appliance (if any) on which the Server is running. Transfer charges may apply. The maintenance Subscription will expire on the date of the transfer, and the new owner will be required to purchase a minimum one year Subscription. You may not rent or lease or sell the SOFTWARE except to a direct subsidiary of the original purchaser, or as allowed elsewhere in this paragraph. Transferring the SOFTWARE without compliance to this paragraph automatically terminates the maintenance subscriptions of the original owner along with any rights of the new owner to software updates and to the use of any of Remote Backup Systems' trademarks and copyrights, and the look-and-feel of Remote Backup Systems's graphics and web sites. This paragraph is NOT intended to prohibit you from distributing the Client software for use with your Online Backup Service. You MAY distribute the Client software.

You agree not to analyze the software, its data files, or transmission protocols in an attempt to discover its systems and methods of operation. You agree not to communicate to others any discovery of technical procedures, systems and methods, or protocol of the Software. You hereby agree that the Software does not infringe on any patent, copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights under your control either directly or indirectly, or under the control of any company or other entity to which you report.

11. SOFTWARE UPDATES. From time to time Remote Backup Systems releases updates for the Software, and may notify you of their availability through one or several methods. Because Remote Backup Systems cannot know conclusively if you have received a notification, you are responsible for periodically checking with the "Updates" link on our main web site at remote-backup.com for the availability of updates. You agree that you will download and apply updates to the Server software and the Client software as updates are released, in a timely way.

Remote Backup Systems provides Technical Support for our products only. Remote Backup Systems cannot provide support for, and is not responsible for, problems affecting our software which are caused by any external software, hardware, or service. This includes routers, firewalls, network interface devices, Internet connections, antivirus software, disk management software, or any other software, hardware, or service that might hamper the proper operation of our software. You agree to properly report support issues through the proper channels (our Online Help Desk System), to completely explain your issue, to read your email or check in with the Online Help Desk System within 4 hours to view our response, and to reply within 4 hours when we request further information and/or offer suggestions.

13. MAINTENANCE SUBSCRIPTIONS. If you have opted for monthly billing for your Maintenance Subscription, Remote Backup Systems will debit your credit card, debit card, or checking account monthly for the amount of your Subscription payments. Monthly payments are 1/12 of the annual fee. Such debits will continue until you request cancellation of your Maintenance Subscription by phone or email sent to sales@remote-backup.com, and your request is acknowledged by email. If your monthly subscription payments terminate before the twelfth payment, Remote Backup Systems reserves the right to terminate your Maintenance Subscription, access to the Partner's Portal (and any associated services) and to revoke your software's authorization for any upgrades that were downloaded before twelve payments were made. This may make it necessary for you to downgrade your software to a previous version.

14. RESPONSIBILITY FOR EMAILS AND OTHER NOTIFICATIONS. Remote Backup Systems is not responsible for your receipt of our emails. If you are not receiving our emailed replies from our Online Help Desk or from our staff members, check your SPAM filters, or make sure we have your correct email address.
