LEADTOOLS Software License Agreement (EULA)
Show in webframe
LEAD TECHNOLOGIES, INC. IS WILLING TO LICENSE LEAD SDK(S) TO YOU ONLY UPON THE CONDITION THAT YOU ACCEPT ALL OF THE TERMS CONTAINED IN THE LICENSE AGREEMENT PRINTED BELOW, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS, LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY PROVISIONS. PLEASE READ THE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE OPENING THE PACKAGE CONTAINING THE MEDIA OR CLICKING THE ACCEPT BUTTON DURING INSTALLATION, AS SUCH CONDUCT INDICATES YOUR ACCEPTANCE TO ALL OF THE TERMS OF THE LICENSE AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS, LEAD TECHNOLOGIES, INC. IS UNWILLING TO LICENSE LEADTOOLS TO YOU AND YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO INSTALL OR USE THE LEAD SDK(S).
This License Agreement (“Agreement”) is a legal agreement between LEAD Technologies, Inc. (“LEAD”), a North Carolina corporation, principally located in Charlotte, North Carolina, and you (either an individual or single entity) (“Licensee”), and is effective the date Licensee installs and uses the applicable LEAD SDK.
As used herein, the following terms, when capitalized, will have the following meaning:
“Licensee” means the person or entity entering into this Agreement with LEAD. Any person who is entering into this Agreement on behalf of an organizational entity represents that he or she has the authority to bind such entity.
“End User Software” means an end user program which Licensee develops using the LEAD SDK and into which the Redistributables are incorporated, and which contains significant additional functionality over and above the functionality contained in the LEAD SDK.
“Redistributables” are those runtime libraries and files intended for duplication and distribution with the End User Software. The Redistributables are identified in the “Files to be Included with Your Application” section of the LEAD SDK help file.
“Development License” means the license granted pursuant to section 2 below allowing Licensee to use the LEAD SDK to develop the End User Software by integrating the Redistributables into the End User Software.
“Deployment License” means the license granted pursuant to section 3 below, upon payment of any required Deployment License Fee, allowing Licensee to copy, deploy and redistribute the Redistributables to end users as part of the End User Software.
“Deployment of End User Software” includes any and all copies of End User Software installed, used, distributed, leased, sold or otherwise disposed of by Licensee, and any of its customers, employees, distributors, resellers, affiliates or other channel partners, and includes, without limitation, Single User Deployments, Concurrent Deployments, Server Deployments and Multi-User Deployments, as hereinafter defined.
“Single User Deployment” means installation of the End User Software by Licensee and/or its customer on a stand-alone PC, work station, mobile device or other hardware for use by a single named user. End User Software that is deployed as Single User is intended for interactive use by the named end user, and has a GUI requiring the user to control the application by mouse, keyboard, touch-screen or similar means. A Single User Deployment also is applicable where End User Software is distributed to client machines through a deployment server or other network device via a CAB file or similar mechanism and installed on the client machine. Single User Deployments are commonly referred to as desk top licenses, client licenses, stand-alone licenses, app licenses and user licenses.
“Concurrent Deployment” means Licensee has built a reasonable method of concurrency into the End User Software so that, although installed on multiple PC for single user uses, only a limited number of users are technically permitted to use the End User Software at the same time. For example, if the End User Software is installed on one hundred (100) PCs, but only ten (10) users may be logged in to use the End User Software at the same time, licensing for ten (10) Concurrent Deployments would be required instead of 100 Single User Deployment licenses. The fact that a server application is “queuing” jobs sent to it, and processing one job at a time, is not considered concurrency for purposes hereof. This type of deployment would be a Server Deployment. A Concurrent Deployment also occurs if Licensee issues client licenses on a subscription type model and wishes to recapture client licenses that are no longer subscribed and assign such licenses to another user. Concurrent licenses are also commonly referred to as floating licenses.
“Server Deployment” includes the following: (i) End User Software operating as a service application installed on a networked device that accepts connections from other machines or for headless processes that watch folders or other data sources for work originating from other machines and (ii) End User Software deployed to a browser from a webserver, such as an HTML5 based application, where the End User Software is not installed on the client machine but is in use by the client machine while the user is connected to the webserver.
“Multi-User Deployment” means a computer installation designed to service the public or multiple un-named users, and not a single named user or set of concurrent named users, such as a kiosk or a scan station.
“Commercial Deployment” includes: (i) distribution of End User Software by Licensee to third party end users, either directly or through distribution channels and (ii) hosting End User Software on Licensee's machines for consumption or use by customers, vendors and other third parties.
“Internal Deployment” means Licensee is deploying End User Software on hardware devices owned or controlled by Licensee for internal business use by Licensee's employees and contractors.
“Deployment License Fee” means the required payment by Licensee to LEAD for each Deployment of End User Software made by Licensee.
For each Development License of the LEAD SDK purchased by Licensee, LEAD grants Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable, perpetual, worldwide license for one (1) named programmer to install the LEAD SDK on a single personal computer and use the LEAD SDK, including its documentation and sample code, in the development of End User Software. Licensee may install the LEAD SDK on one additional development computer, such as a laptop computer, for use by Licensee's named programmer when such persons primary development computer is not available. Licensee may also install the LEAD SDK on up to two (2) additional build machines in use by other developers, provided that the other developers are not programming with the LEAD SDK. Only the named programmer is permitted to program using the LEAD SDK for each Development License purchased by Licensee. Additional Development Licenses, (including licenses for additional developers and/or additional build machines) may be procured at discounted pricing by contacting LEADs sales department. The license granted hereunder applies only to the designated version of the enclosed LEAD SDK. If the LEAD SDK is an upgrade, it, and the product that was upgraded constitutes a single copy of the LEAD SDK for purposes hereof and the new version and product that was upgraded cannot be used by two developers at the same time.
Under LEADs intellectual property rights, LEAD will grant Licensee (and only Licensee) a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide license to reproduce (and have reproduced) exact copies of the Redistributables and include such files in the End User Software, and to deploy the End User Software, in executable object code form only, on Licensee's owned and controlled computers and networks for use by Licensee's employees, contractors and affiliates and/or to commercially distribute the End User Software, directly and through customary distribution channels, to end users for their use, without further distribution, subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a) Deployment License Application Process. Licensee will apply for a Deployment License by completing a Deployment License Application form which, among other things, will identify whether Licensee's End User Software is for Internal Deployment or Commercial Deployment and the type and manner of deployment (Single User, Concurrent, Multi-User, Server).
(b) Deployment License Grants for Internal Deployments; Single User Deployments and Concurrent User Deployments. If the LEAD SDK is LEADTOOLS Imaging Pro or LEADTOOLS Multimedia (without any add on modules), Licensee will receive a fully paid up, perpetual, royalty free license to make an unlimited number of Single User Deployments and/or Concurrent Deployments of the End User Software internally for use by Licensee's employees and contractors. The cost of this deployment license is included with the cost of the Development License. For all other LEAD SDKs, Licensee must pay a Deployment Licensee Fee at LEAD's published rates for each Single User Deployment and/or Concurrent User Deployment made by Licensee. Upon payment of the required Deployment License Fees, LEAD will issue Licensee a license certificate evidencing the number, type and duration of Deployment Licenses granted to Licensee.
(c) Deployment License Grants for Internal Deployment; Server Deployments and Multi-User Deployments. For all LEAD SDKs, Licensee must pay a Deployment License Fee for each Server Deployment and each Multi-user Deployment at LEADs published rates. Upon payment of the required Deployment License Fees, LEAD will issue Licensee a license certificate evidencing the number, type and duration of Deployment Licenses granted to Licensee.
(d) Deployment License Grants for Commercial Deployment. For all LEAD SDKs, Licensee must execute a Commercial Distribution License prior to making any Commercial Deployment. The Commercial Deployment License will contain the pricing and other terms and conditions for Commercial Deployment of End User Software. Under no circumstances may Licensee make any Commercial Deployment until such time as LEAD and Licensee have executed a Commercial Distribution License.
(e) Deployment Files. Runtime license files, developer keys or similar items (“Deployment Files”) are required to be included with the End User Software when deployed. Without the appropriate Deployment files, the End User Software will expire. For Internal Deployments, LEAD will provide Licensee its Deployment Files when Licensee has completed the Deployment Application form and purchased its required Deployment Licenses. For Commercial Deployments, LEAD will provide Licensee its Deployment Files when Licensee has executed the Commercial Distribution License and purchased its required Deployment Licenses.
(f) Record Keeping and Reporting. Licensee agrees to maintain full, clear and accurate records regarding its use of the LEAD SDK and the deployment of the End User Software and will promptly respond to inquiries from LEAD's license compliance department, including responding to an annual deployment activity report. LEAD shall have the right, no more than once during any calendar year, to have an independent certified public accountant or other disinterested third party inspect the relevant records of Licensee on thirty (30) days notice and during regular business hours to verify the reports and payments required to be made hereunder. Should an underpayment in excess of five percent (5%) be discovered, Licensee will pay the cost of the audit.
(g) Duration of Deployment Licenses. Single User Deployment and Concurrent Deployment Licenses are perpetual licenses and the Deployment License Fee is a one-time license fee for use of the End User Software for the applicable type of Deployment. A Server Deployment and Multi-User Deployment license may either be a perpetual license or an annual license, depending on whether it is for a Commercial Deployment or an Internal Deployment.
(h) New Versions; Upgrades. Minor version updates to the LEAD SDK (e. g. patches or point releases) are provided to Licensee free of charge. Licensee may license major new versions of the LEAD SDK (designated either as a whole number or a .5 release, e. g. LEADTOOLS version 18, 18.5, 19 or such other major version designation as may be hereafter adopted by LEAD) by purchasing a Development License to the new version at LEAD's then prevailing upgrade price. No additional deployment licensing is required for deploying minor version updates to Licensee's End User Software duly licensed install base. If a major new version of the LEAD SDK is included in an upgrade to the End User Software, each Single User Deployment, Concurrent Deployment, Multi-User or Server Deployment that is upgraded will require an upgrade runtime license. The upgrade runtime license price is 40% of the published price of the runtime license for the new version of the LEAD SDK for the applicable quantity of runtime licenses being purchased.
(i) OEM Distribution. If Licensee wishes to use an OEM who will modify the End User Software and copy it, Licensee must first obtain an OEM distribution license from LEAD or must require the OEM to obtain a license from LEAD. Duplication or redistribution of the End User Software, or any portion thereof, by the users of the End User Software, without a separate written redistribution license from LEAD, is prohibited.
(j) Registration. No rights to copy or redistribute the End User Software are granted until such time as Licensee has properly registered and activated the LEAD SDK with LEAD and obtained it Deployment Files. Licensee may not deploy End User Software unless Licensee is in full compliance with all the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
The licenses granted under this Agreement are expressly conditioned upon Licensee's compliance with all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Licensee may not use, copy, rent, lease, sell, sublicense, assign or otherwise transfer the LEAD SDK except as expressly provided for in this Agreement. Licensee may make a reasonable number of archival copies of the LEAD SDK. Except for the Redistributables, Licensee shall not distribute any files contained in the LEAD SDK, including without limitation, .LIB, .H, .MAK, .DEF, .TXT, .PDF, .HLP files or any sample source code. Licensee acknowledges that the LEAD SDK, in source code form, remains a confidential trade secret of LEAD and/or its suppliers and therefore Licensee agrees that it shall not modify, decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer the LEAD SDK, or attempt to do so, except as permitted by applicable legislation. Licensee shall not reproduce, copy or transfer any Documentation, except Licensee may use the sample source code examples contained in the Documentation for the purpose of developing the End User Software subject to the following limitations: (i) Licensee may not use the sample source code for any purpose other than developing the End User Software and (ii) Licensee may not disclose, redistribute or otherwise transfer any of the sample source code, or any source code derived from the sample source code. Licensee acknowledges that the sample source code is a confidential trade secret of LEAD, and Licensee shall treat the sample source code in the same manner as Licensee treats its own trade secret information, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of protection. Any Licensee employee or contractor who has access to the sample source code must be bound by a written nondisclosure agreement prohibiting him from disclosing any trade secret information of Licensee and/or its suppliers. Licensee may not use the LEAD SDK to develop an application that directly or indirectly utilizes LEAD's Redistributables existing in another application that has been developed by Licensee or some third party. Licensee agrees to refrain from disclosing any unlock keys, serial numbers or activation codes to any third party or otherwise take any action intended to circumvent copyright protection or other anti-piracy measures implemented by LEAD with respect to the LEAD SDK. The End User Software developed by Licensee must be an “end user application.” An “end user application” is a specific application program that is licensed to a person or firm for business or personal use and not with a view toward redistributing the application or any part of the application, and may be either an application that is used by Licensee internally, or an application that is commercially distributed to end users for their use. A user of an end user application may not modify or redistribute the application and may not copy it (other than for archival purposes). Licensee's license agreement covering the End User Software must contain restrictions prohibiting redistribution, modification and copying of the End User Software. Only one (1) end user application may be developed for each Development License purchased by Licensee. The license rights hereunder do not apply to development and deployment of LEAD SDK products or services such as “web services”, ActiveX controls, browser plug-ins, web browsers, authoring tools, development toolkits, dynamic link libraries (DLLs), LEAD SDK with an application programming interface (API), compilers, operating systems or any other LEAD SDK not falling within the above definition of an end user application. If Licensee wishes to use the LEAD SDK in a manner prohibited by this Agreement, Licensee should contact LEAD's OEM department to determine whether a special license may be obtained. Upon LEAD's request, Licensee agrees to send LEAD one demonstration copy of the End User Software.
If Licensee is using an "evaluation version" of the LEAD SDK, then the licenses granted hereunder are limited as follows: (a) Licensee is granted a license to use the LEAD SDK for a period of sixty (60) days counted from the day of installation (the "Evaluation Period") solely for purposes of evaluation and testing the LEAD SDK to determine if Licensee wishes to purchase a license for the release version of the LEAD SDK; (b) upon completion of the Evaluation Period, Licensee shall either i) delete the LEAD SDK from the computer containing the installation, or ii) obtain a paid Development and Deployment License of the LEAD SDK from LEAD or any of its resellers; and (c) any End User Software developed with the evaluation version of the LEAD SDK may not be deployed other than internally for testing purposes, and will not be distributed or used for any purpose other than evaluating the functionality and performance of the LEAD SDK.
Licensee will pay all valid LEAD invoices on a timely basis. If Licensee is more than 30 days past due on any invoice, Licensee agrees to pay finance charges equal to one and a half percent (1.5%) per month or at the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less, on all over due and unpaid invoices until paid in full. All license fees and other amounts due LEAD are denominated and will be paid in United States Dollars and are exclusive of any and all applicable taxes. Licensee is responsible for paying any sales, use, value added or other taxes (other than federal and state taxes levied on LEAD's income) in connection with the licenses granted hereby and will indemnify LEAD from any claims or damages associated with the nonpayment of such taxes. LEAD accepts purchase orders provided Licensee obtains credit approval from LEAD's credit department. To the extent any term of a purchase order is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, Licensee agrees that the terms of this Agreement are controlling.
Except for the limited license granted herein, LEAD, and its suppliers, retain exclusive ownership of all proprietary rights (including all ownership rights, title, and interest) in and to the LEAD SDK. Licensee agrees not to represent that LEAD is affiliated with or approves of Licensee's End User Software in any way. Except as required hereby, Licensee shall not use LEAD's name, trademarks, or any LEAD designation in association with Licensee's End User Software. The End User Software must contain the following copyright and patent notices in the “About Box”: “Portions of this product were created using LEADTOOLS ©1991-2013, LEAD Technologies, Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Portions of this product are licensed under US patent 5,327,254 and foreign counterparts.” If Licensee is using the LEADTOOLS Professional OCR Module, LEADTOOLS Asian OCR Module, LEADTOOLS Arabic OCR Module or LEADTOOLS ICR Module, the End User Software will also contain the following copyright notice in the “About Box”: “Portions hereof include OmniPage Capture SDK Copyright © 2009 Nuance Communications, Inc.

The license granted hereby is effective until terminated. Licensee may terminate the license by returning the LEAD SDK to LEAD, without refund, and destroying all copies thereof in any form. Further, any material breach of this Agreement or any corresponding Commercial Distribution License shall automatically terminate the licenses granted by this Agreement, including any Deployment Licenses. In the event Licensee ceases doing business, is adjudged bankrupt or becomes insolvent, LEAD may, at its sole option, terminate this Agreement by giving ten (10) days written notice. Upon termination, Licensee shall cease using the LEAD SDK and cease using or distributing the End User Software containing the Redistributables and will cause any and all resellers and distributors to cease distributing the End User Software. All restrictions prohibiting Licensee's use of the LEAD SDK and intellectual property provisions relating to LEAD SDK running to the benefit of LEAD will survive termination of the license pursuant hereto. Termination will not affect properly granted end user licenses of the End User Software distributed by Licensee prior to termination provided all Deployment License Fees have been paid for such end user licenses granted by Licensee.
