-------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE PRINT OUT THE WHOLE OF THIS DOCUMENT -------------------------------------------------------------------------- s v L i s --------------- S e t - t h e o r e t i c k e r n e l m o d e l l e r Source-code leases for purposes of commercial exploitation SvLis is a set-theoretic kernel modeller: a piece of computer software developed by Information Geometers Ltd in collaboration with the University of Bath, and marketed worldwide by Information Geometers. A svLis commercial lease permits the use of svLis source code for a specific period and the sale of applications containing svLis. As well as the svLis software, user interfaces written by Information Geometers, together with other tools and test models, as available, may be supplied without extra charge. COMMERCIAL USE Svlis commercial leases do not include the transfer of ownership, copyright, or any other intellectual property rights in any software or documentation. It is not permitted to lend, transfer, lease, sub-licence or in any other way supply copies of the svLis source code. A holder of a svLis commercial lease may write application programs and link them to svLis and may sell copies of compiled code derived from the svLis source code and the leaseholder's code. For each copy of a program containing svLis that is sold, a royalty of US $100.00 is payable to Information Geometers Ltd. A holder of a svLis commercial lease is responsible for maintaining a complete record of sales of programs containing compiled svLis code, and for supplying Information Geometers Ltd with such a record within one month of the end of each quarter of the year: on 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December. Information Geometers Ltd will then invoice the holder of the svLis commercial lease for the royalty payment, which is due within one calendar month from the date of the invoice. Late payment incurs a penalty of a 5% surcharge per month or part-month. CODE SUPPLIED The holder of a Svlis commercial lease will be supplied with the source code for all the C++ procedures in the core svLis library and source for all the other parts of svlis that are available free from the svLis web site at http://www.bath.ac.uk/~ensab/G_mod/Svlis SALES OF COMPILED CODE A svLis commercial lease permits its holder to sell COMPILED svLis code. It does not limit software development to a specific computer or network. However, the scope of a single compiled-code sale is limited to one physical site or campus per copy sold. SUPPLY OF SOFTWARE AND UPGRADES A svLis commercial lease includes the supply of source code to the lease holder over the Internet. There is no restriction on the methods that may subsequently be used to make bona fide backup copies. Information Geometers reserves the right to upgrade svLis, balancing technological improvements against users' need for stability. Commercial licence holders are expected to upgrade their copy of svLis when a new version becomes available. Such upgrades will be made available to all commercial licence holders at no extra charge. Only the version of svLis that is current at any date will be supported. SUPPORT Support can be made available to one named programming user at the commercial leaseholder's organization for a further charge of $1000 US per year. Support may be obtained by the named programming user from e-mail sent to svlis@inge.com. While Information Geometers will endeavour to deal promptly with problems and enquiries, no particular time for response is guaranteed. DOCUMENTATION Documentation is not included in the price of a svLis commercial lease as all svLis documentation is available free from the svLis web site at: http://www.bath.ac.uk/~ensab/G_mod/Svlis/ PERIOD COST AND EXPIRY OF LEASES Commercial leases will run for one year from the date that payment is received by Information Geometers Ltd. The code will be made available to the leaseholder by FTP on that date and an email will be sent on that date advising the lessee that this is so. Payment is required in advance for each year's lease. The first year costs US $2000.00. Subsequent years cost $500.00 each. Information Geometers reserve the right to cancel a lease if the terms of this agreement are considered to be broken, or if demands for support are deemed unreasonable. If a lease is cancelled, Information Geometers will make a refund in respect of all full months unexpired. The leaseholder agrees to destroy all svLis source code and not to sell any further programs or products incorporating svLis after the expiry of a lease that has not been renewed. Information Geometers reserves the right to ensure that the software supplied cannot be used after the expiry of a lease. Leaseholders can still access the free version on the Web, and their customers can continue to use any software with which they have already been supplied. WARRANTY Information Geometers will at any time accept cancellation of a svLis commercial lease, and make a refund in respect of all full months unexpired. Information Geometers makes no further warranties, and will not accept further liability for damage or loss, however caused. A svLis commercial lease expressly precludes the use of the svLis software supplied in any safety-critical application. * * * All rights not specifically granted by this lease are reserved by Information Geometers Ltd. If any part of this lease shall be deemed void or unenforceable in any country, that shall not affect the other terms of the lease. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRICES SvLis commercial leases Source code: US $2000.00 for a one-year lease US $500.00 for each subsequent year's lease Support: US $1000.00 for one year's support All support paid for must be requested by and will be directed to a named programmer at a single e-mail address.
