This license does not allow You to use, reproduce, modify, sublicense and distribute a Software as embedded into single or many Applications or/and SaaS. This license does not allow You to use, reproduce, modify and distribute a Software as a software component of any of your commercial software products including those that are used by your customers to manage content on their Websites.

You should carefully read the following terms and conditions before using, installing, copying, or distributing the Software. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by CKSource, your use, installation, copying, or distribution of the Software indicates your acceptance of this License.

3. Scope of License

You can use, install, copy, and distribute the Software as provided in this Agreement solely for the purpose of managing content on the Websites. You may not rent, lease, loan, sublicense, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or create derivative works based on the Software, in whole or in part, nor permit anyone else to do so.

It is agreed that in exchange for the license set forth herein, you will pay a license fee (“License Fee”). The fee value will be specified by CKSource at the moment of the purchase.

All rights of any kind to the Software, which are not expressly granted by this Agreement, are entirely and exclusively reserved to and by CKSource. The Software is protected by applicable national and international laws and treaties.

4. License Models and Restrictions

This Agreement may be offered to You under different license options that imply specific restrictions to Your ability to enter this Agreement. Among others, the following are some of the restrictions that may apply:

a. “Websites Limit”: assembling the Software into a maximum limited number of Websites (“Sites”). The Hostname of any or all the Sites may be specified at the moment of purchase or at any moment during the Upgrade Period. As an exception, Hostnames prefixed with “www.” are considered a single Hostname with a similar Hostname that misses that prefix only and both together count as one Website.
b. “Employees Limit”: the maximum limited number of Employees at the Effective Date. Automatic Renewals, as described in Section 12, are valid only if this limit is still valid at renewal date.
c. “Support Requests Limit”: the maximum limited number of Support Requests per each calendar month.
Restrictions, or the absence of them, must be clearly specified in the Legal Evidence. Nonconformance with the restrictions constitutes a breach to this Agreement.

5. Unlicensed Copies

If You did not pay the License Fee, You may use unlicensed copies of the Software for the exclusive purpose of demonstration. In this case You will be using the Software in “demo mode”. Without derogating from the forgoing, You may not use the Software in “demo mode” for any of your business purposes. The Software in “demo mode” shall only be used for evaluation purposes and may not be used or disclosed for any other purposes, including, without limitation, for external distribution. You may not remove the demo notices, if any, from the user interface of the Software nor disable the ability to display such notices nor otherwise modify the Software. Product support, if any, is not offered for the Software in “demo mode”.

6. Agreement Acceptance

This Agreement is automatically accepted by both parties as long as You are in possession of a legal evidence (“Legal Evidence”) that the acceptance has taken place. The Legal Evidence can be represented by (i) a copy of this Agreement signed by You and CKSource or (ii) a valid Certificate of License Ownership, provided by CKSource and addressed to You. The Legal Evidence must precisely indicate this Agreement Name, the Software Name and a summary of restrictions as described in Section 4.

Legal Evidences for different combinations of restrictions, Sites, Applications and SaaS will not restrict each other and will not interfere in the rights granted to You by each of them.

Legal Evidences are not transferable to different Sites, Applications and SaaS.

7. Limitation on Releases

This agreement is valid for all Releases of the Software with Release Dates within or before the 365 days that follow the Effective Date (“Upgrade Period”). CKSource has no obligation to provide you any Release that is not released for general distribution to other CKSource licensees. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to obligate CKSource to provide additional Releases to You under any circumstances.

8. Support

In accordance with Section 4, CKSource shall provide support for Developers for the period of 365 days following the Effective Date (“Support Period”). Support shall be limited to electronic messaging access. CKSource shall keep You informed, either per CKSource readiness or by following your request, including changes to it, about the rules and procedures that You must perform to enjoy support under the terms of this Agreement.

CKSource is not in any way obliged to perform bug fixing or custom development activities as a result of a Support Request.

9. License Key

Whenever applicable, following a valid License purchase, a unique license key (the “License Key”) may be provided to You, which allows Software activation. The License Key is subject to the restrictions set forth in this License and may not be disclosed or distributed in any way. The disclosure or distribution of the License Key shall constitute a breach of this License, the effect of which shall be the automatic termination and revocation of any and all rights granted herein.

10. Source Code

The original source code (“Source Code”) of the Software may be distributed by CKSource alongside its executable version, or as an integral part of it. You may modify and compile the Source Code. The Source Code or its modified version can be copied and distributed exclusively within the scope of this license, as defined in the “License Model” terms of this license, as long as a valid license has been purchased for the distribution target. CKSource retains all rights over the Source Code and all its modified versions. Redistributions of the Source Code and modified versions of it must contain the original headers and copyright notices. Modifications to the Source Code must be explicitly and entirely identified in the Source Code files. This section of the license supersedes all modification restrictions imposed by other sections. You are not allowed to remove copyright notices nor make changes to the license validation code present in the Source Code.

In consideration for the License granted in this Agreement during the term of this Agreement, You agreed to pay to CKSource a one-time fee (“License Fee”).

In consideration for the Software upgrades access and support services provided during the Upgrade Period and Support Period, You shall pay a yearly fee (“Annual Support and Upgrade Fee”).

The License Fee and the Annual Support and Upgrade Fee amount shall be specified by CKSource at the moment of the purchase as a single unified price.

The fees listed in this Agreement do not include taxes. If CKSource is required to pay any sales, use, property, excise, value added, gross receipts, withholding or other taxes levied on the Software or support under this Agreement or on Your use thereof, then such taxes shall be billed to and paid by You. This Section does not apply to taxes based on CKSource net income, franchise taxes or CKSource's employer contributions and taxes.

You understand that CKSource uses third-party paying agents to process selected payments. You understand that until payments are not received and verified by the paying agent, this Agreement is not valid.

All payments made hereunder are nonrefundable. You may not withhold or set off any amounts due under this Agreement. Failure to pay any fee when due shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. In addition, if You fail to make any payments when due for support, upon written notice to You, CKSource shall cease providing support.

12. Automatic Renewal

You may opt to automatically extend the expiration date for both the Upgrade Period and Support Period by successive cycles of 365 days (each one a “Renewal”). In such case, you agree to pay a fee for each Renewal at the beginning of each cycle. The annual Renewal fee shall be informed by CKSource at the moment of the purchase and optionally agreed by you.

If you opted to have automatic Renewals, CKSource shall send you a payment request for the Renewal fee at any moment following the first day of each Renewal period. You shall perform the full payment in 30 calendar days following the payment request.

Both parties can discontinue the automatic Renewals by written notification to the other party before the beginning of extension cycles.
