15 1 Geosoft License Agreement GEOSOFT agrees to supply the Licensed Program(s) as specified in my purchase order. Geosoft shall grant me a nontransferable, non-exclusive license to use the Licensed Program(s), subject to the Terms and Conditions herein contained. Should there be a separate signed agreement between you and Geosoft, or between your company and Geosoft, pertaining to the licensed use of this software, that agreement shall take precedence over the terms of this agreement. 1. DEFINITIONS: In this Agreement: "Licensed Program(s)" means the actual copy of all or any portion of Geosoft s proprietary software technology, computer software code, components, dynamic link libraries (DLLs) licensed through the Geosoft license server, including any modifications, improvements or updates provided by GEOSOFT. Effective Date is the date the Geosoft license is installed. This date is recorded by the Geosoft License server when the Licensed Program(s) is installed. "Services" means the Services described on Section 4. "Termination" means the occurrences contemplated by Section 6 and LICENSE: GEOSOFT grants to me a non-transferable and non-exclusive license to use the Licensed Program(s) for my own purposes whereby the Licensed Program(s) are being used only by myself, on one computer, at any one time. Title and all intellectual property rights in and to the License Program(s), including, without limitation, copyright, trade secrets and trade marks, shall remain with GEOSOFT. I agree to refrain from raising any objection or challenge to such intellectual property rights, or from assisting or causing or permitting other(s) to do so, during the term of the Agreement and thereafter I may not assign this Agreement or any part thereof or sub-license the rights granted herein, or lend, rent, time-share, sell or lease the software without the prior written consent of GEOSOFT. I may not attempt to reverse engineer, de-compile or disassemble the software. I may not make any attempt to circumvent the License Manager that controls the access to the software use. 3. TERM: The Term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue until termination, as described in Section SERVICES: (i) According to the terms of my initial purchase, GEOSOFT shall make available to me, without additional fees such corrections and improvements to the Licensed Program(s) as may be generally incorporated into the Licensed Program(s) by GEOSOFT. (Normally this will be for a period of twelve (12) months). (ii) GEOSOFT has a strong commitment to customer service and product support. GEOSOFT offers me, subject to applicable Service Charge(s), continuing support in the form of or telephone advice and other assistance in problem diagnosis and the correction of errors or faults in the Licensed Program(s) during the life of this License. When a problem occurs which appears to be related to errors or faults in the Licensed Program(s), I may contact GEOSOFT and GEOSOFT will make an honest effort to solve the problem. However, GEOSOFT cannot guarantee service results or represent or warrant that all errors or program defects will be corrected. Also it is to be noted that each Licensed Program is designed to operate on a Windows NT (sp 6 or later), Windows 2000 or Windows XP platform. (iii) Further, if I request service relating to the modification of the Licensed Program(s) to meet a particular need or to conform with a particular operating environment, GEOSOFT may, at its discretion, modify the Licensed Program(s) to meet these particular needs, subject to applicable Services Charge(s). However, all intellectual property or other rights which may arise from such modifications shall reside with GEOSOFT. 5. PROTECTION AND SECURITY OF LICENSED PROGRAM I agree that all additions, modifications, revisions, updates and extensions to the Licensed Program(s) shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions in this agreement. I acknowledge that all copies of the Licensed Program(s), provided by GEOSOFT or made by me pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, translations, compilations, partial copies, modifications, derivative materials and/or updated materials, are proprietary, and the property of GEOSOFT, and may not be distributed to any other persons, without GEOSOFT s prior written consent. I will not provide or otherwise make the Licensed Program(s) available to anyone in any form without GEOSOFT's prior written consent. 6. TERMINATION: This agreement shall terminate upon the termination date, if any, specified in your purchase agreement with Geosoft.
