SWSOFT END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT
This End-User License Agreement (this “Agreement”) is a legal contract between you, as either an individual or a single business entity, and SWsoft Holdings, Ltd. (“SWsoft”).
READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE DOWNLOADING THE PLESK SOFTWARE (the “Software”) OR OBTAINING A LICENSE KEY TO THE SOFTWARE OR USING THE SOFTWARE.
THE SOFTWARE IS COPYRIGHTED AND IT IS LICENSED TO YOU UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, NOT SOLD TO YOU. BY DOWNLOADING THE SOFTWARE OR OBTAINING A LICENSE KEY TO THE SOFTWARE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT, THAT YOU UNDERSTAND IT, AND THAT YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS. IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU SHOULD CLICK THE “I DO NOT ACCEPT” BUTTON BELOW, TERMINATE THE DOWNLOAD PROCESS, AND REFRAIN FROM ACCESSING OR USING THE SOFTWARE. THIS AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND SWSOFT CONCERNING THE SOFTWARE, AND THIS AGREEMENT SUPERSEDES AND REPLACES ANY PRIOR PROPOSAL, REPRESENTATION, OR UNDERSTANDING YOU MAY HAVE HAD WITH SWSOFT RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE.
1. License.
- Grant of License. SWsoft hereby grants to you, and you accept, a limited,
nonexclusive license to use the Software in machine-readable, object code
form only, and the user manuals accompanying the Software (the “Documentation”),
only as authorized in this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the
“Software” includes any updates, enhancements, modifications, revisions, or
additions to the Software made by SWsoft and made available to end-users through
SWsoft’s web site. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SWsoft shall be under no obligation
to provide any updates, enhancements, modifications, revisions, or additions
to the Software.
- Scope of Use. You may use one copy of the Software activated by a
license key on a single server (virtual or physical) owned, leased, or otherwise controlled by
you, at a single time. If you have multiple license keys for the Software,
you may make and use as many copies of the Software as you have license keys.
For purposes of this Agreement, “use” of the software means loading the Software
into the temporary or permanent memory of a computer. Installation of the
Software on a network server solely for distribution to other computers is
not “use” of the Software, and is permitted, as long as you have a license
key for each server (virtual or physical) to which the Software is distributed. The Software may
not be used on or distributed to a greater number of computers than you have
license keys. If you will use or distribute the Software to multiple users,
you must ensure that the number of users does not exceed the number of license
keys you have obtained, or you will be in breach of this Agreement.
- Copies and Modifications. You may not reverse engineer, decompile,
disassemble, or otherwise translate the Software or any license keys you have
obtained. You may not modify or adapt the Software or any license keys that
you have obtained in any way. You may make one copy of the Software, the Documentation,
and any license keys that you have obtained, solely for backup or archival
purposes. Any such copies of the Software, Documentation, or license keys
shall include any copyright or other proprietary notices that were included
on such materials when you first received them. Except as authorized in this
Section, no copies of the Software, Documentation, or license keys, or any
portions thereof, may be made by you or any person under your authority or
control.
- Assignment of Rights. You will not sublicense, lease, rent, or lend
your rights in the Software, Documentation, or license keys, as granted by
this Agreement, with any third party. However, you may permanently assign
your rights in the Software, Documentation, and license keys, provided that
the party to whom you wish to assign such rights accepts the terms of this
Agreement prior to the assignment. Any attempted assignment of your rights
under this Agreement to a party who has not first accepted the terms of this
Agreement will be invalid.
2. Intellectual Property and Confidentiality.
- Use Reporting, License Violations and Remedies. SWsoft reserves the
right to gather data on key usage including license key numbers, server IP
addresses, domain counts and other information deemed relevant, to ensure that
our products are being used in accordance with the terms of this End-User
License Agreement. SWsoft expressly prohibits simultaneous, multiple
installations of our licensed products and domain count overrides without prior
written approval. Any unauthorized use shall be considered by SWsoft to
be a violation of the End-User License Agreement. SWsoft reserves the
right to remedy violations immediately upon discovery, by charging the then
current list price of unauthorized keys to the credit card used to make the
original, authorized purchase, or by any other means necessary.
- Proprietary Rights. You acknowledge that the Software and the Documentation
are proprietary to SWsoft, and the Software and Documentation are protected
under United States copyright law and international treaties. You further
acknowledge and agree that, as between you and SWsoft, SWsoft owns and shall
continue to own all right, title, and interest in and to the Software and
Documentation, including associated intellectual property rights under copyright,
trade secret, patent, or trademark laws. This Agreement does not grant you
any ownership interest in or to the Software or the Documentation, but only
a limited right of use that is revocable in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. SWsoft has the right to gather information regarding the use of
the Software including but not limited to IP address, MAC address, and admin
email address to guarantee the proper use of the Software as granted by this
Agreement.
- Trademarks. Any and all trademarks or service marks that SWsoft uses
in connection with the Software or with services rendered by SWsoft are marks
owned by SWsoft. This Agreement does not grant you any right, license, or interest
in such marks, and you shall not assert any right, license, or interest in
such marks or any words or designs that are confusingly similar to such marks.
- Confidentiality. You shall permit only authorized users, who possess
rightfully obtained license keys, to use the Software or to view the Documentation.
Except as expressly authorized by this Agreement, you shall not make available
the Software, Documentation, or any license key to any third party. You will
use your best efforts to cooperate with and assist SWsoft in identifying and
preventing any unauthorized use, copying, or disclosure of the Software, Documentation,
or any portion thereof.
3. License Fees.
The Software will be available to you for use upon your receipt of one or
more license keys. Upon acceptance of this Agreement, you may obtain one or
more license keys by paying the requisite license fees, using the procedure
set forth on SWsoft’s web site. The license fees paid by you are paid in consideration
of the license granted under this Agreement.
4. Term and Termination.
This Agreement is effective upon your acceptance of the Agreement, or upon
your downloading, accessing, and using the Software, even if you have not expressly
accepted this Agreement. This Agreement shall continue in effect until terminated.
You may terminate this License Agreement at any time by: (i) providing written

that you have obtained to SWsoft or destroying all such materials and providing
written verification of such destruction to SWsoft. SWsoft may terminate this
License Agreement if you breach any term of the Agreement by giving you written
notice of your breach and SWsoft’s decision to terminate the Agreement. Upon
termination of the Agreement by SWsoft, you agree to either return to SWsoft the
Software, Documentation, all copies thereof, and all license keys that you have
obtained, or to destroy all such materials and provide written verification
of such destruction to SWsoft.
