2.1.3. SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

2.1.3.1. EVALUATION VERSION

The Evaluation Version is a version of the Software that allows you to
evaluate the full functionality of the Software for a certain period
of time, typically one (1) month.  It is available for both Editions
and requires a corresponding Evaluation License File.
The Software may be installed on any number of computers.  Your right
to use the Software and to create Derivatives is restricted to the
purpose of evaluating the Software.  Except as aforesaid, you may not
use the Software for any other purposes, including, but not limited
to, commercial purposes.  In particular, you may not use the
Evaluation Version to develop commercial applications.
The Evaluation Version may be used only in the time period that is
specified in the Evaluation License File.  After expiration of this
time period, the Software will no longer work.

computer that is specified in the License File; see Section 2.2.  You
may use the Software to create Derivatives, including commercial
applications.  In particular, you may use the Development Version to
compile and link applications.

2.1.3.3. RUNTIME VERSION

Your right to purchase the Runtime Version depends on the Edition.

You may distribute and sublicense Derivatives.  You must possess a
valid license for the Development Version before you are authorized to
distribute and/or sublicense your Derivatives.  The Runtime Version
may not be used for the creation of Derivatives, including, but not
limited to, compiling and linking of applications.

If you are authorized and choose to distribute such Derivatives, you
agree (1) not to use MVTec's name, logo or trademarks to market the
Derivatives; (2) to display your own valid copyright notice which
shall be sufficient to protect MVTec's copyright in the Software; (3)
not to remove or obscure any copyright, trademark or patent notice
that appear on the Software as delivered to you; (4) to accompany the
Derivative with a license whose terms and conditions are at least as
restrictive as the terms in this Agreement; (5) to explicitly exclude
MVTec and its suppliers from all liability for damages or any
obligation to provide remedial actions that may result from the use
and distribution of Derivatives; (6) to indemnify, hold harmless and
defend MVTec from and against any claims or lawsuits, including
attorney's fees, that arise or result from your culpable use or
distribution of the Derivatives; (7) otherwise comply with the terms
of this Agreement; and (8) agree that MVTec reserves all rights not
expressly granted.

MVTec shall have no support or warranty obligations, and disclaims all
liability, for Derivatives developed and/or distributed by you.  In
particular, you will be solely responsible to your end users (or
anyone else who uses your Derivatives) for support, service, upgrades,
or technical or other assistance, and such persons will have no right
to contact MVTec for any services or assistance.  Your rights with
regard to Software remain unaffected.

2.2. NODELOCKED LICENSES

A Nodelocked License allows you to install and use the Software only
on the computer specified in the Nodelocked License File.  The
computer is specified by a Host ID that is derived from a certain
hardware component, which may be bound to an irremovable computer
component (Irremovable Host ID), for example, a network card, or may
be bound to a removable hardware component (Removable Host ID), for
example, a dongle.

If you use an Irremovable Host ID for licensing the Software, you may
only install and use the Software on the computer that includes the
Irremovable Host ID.  If you use a Removable Host ID you may install
the Software on any number of computers, but you may only use the
Software on the computer to which the Removable Host ID is attached.

You undertake to keep true, accurate, and consistent books and records
containing regular entries relating to duplication and installations
of the Software and sales, distributions, or other transfers of
Derivatives.  MVTec, its authorized representative, or its accountants
(subject to your prior written approval, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld) may, for the purpose of confirming your
compliance with the terms hereof, enter your place of business on
reasonable written notice, but not less than five (5) business days,
during normal business hours once per year during the term of this
Agreement and once following the termination or expiration of this
Agreement.  MVTec, its authorized representative or its accountants
shall be entitled to perform an audit of your relevant books, records,
and software systems, and receive any explanations that may reasonably
be requested.  MVTec shall be responsible for its costs incurred in
connection with any such audit, provided that you shall reimburse
MVTec for the cost of the audit if the examination discloses an
underpayment to MVTec of more than ten percent (10%) of the payments
due with respect to any applicable period.  Any further rights of
MVTec remain unaffected.  This Section 2.3 shall survive any
termination or expiration of this Agreement for a period of three (3)
years.

You further agree that upon request from MVTec or MVTec's authorized
representative, you will within thirty (30) days fully document and
certify that use of any and all Software at the time of the request is
in conformity with your valid licenses from MVTec.

2.4. DOCUMENTATION

You may make and use a reasonable number of copies of any
Documentation, provided that such copies shall be used only for

in hard copy or electronic form) beyond your premises.  In particular,
you may not forward any Documentation to your customers as a part of
Derivatives.

MVTec has been granted licenses to distribute certain third party
software.  As a condition of those licenses, MVTec is required to
distribute the software subject to specific terms and conditions,
which may be different from or additional to those contained herein
for MVTec's Software.  All third party software and the respective
license terms will be listed in the Documentation and will also be
provided upon request.  The documentation also describes which third
party software is used by which part of the Software.  Your use of a
certain part of the Software requires that you accept the license
terms of the third party software that is used by this part of the
Software (the Used Third Party Software).  You understand and agree
that acceptance of this Agreement also confirms your acceptance of
the applicable provisions for use, including the restrictions on
use, of the Used Third Party Software.  Any breach of the applicable
provisions of any third party's license terms shall also be
considered a material breach of this Agreement.

3.7. TERMINATION

4. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

The Software is protected by copyright and other intellectual property

5. LIMITED WARRANTY

MVTec warrants to the person or entity that first purchases a license
for the Software that the Software will perform in all material
aspects in accordance with the Documentation for a period of twelve
(12) months following receipt of the Software when used on a
recommended hardware configuration.  The warranty period shall be
according to statutory law in cases of intent or gross negligence on
the part of MVTec.

Non-substantial variations of performance of the Software from the
Documentation does not establish a warranty right.  This warranty does
not apply to updates, upgrades, pre-releases, or to Software that has
been altered by you, to the extent such alterations caused a defect.
To make a warranty claim, you must return the Software to the location
where you obtained it along with proof of purchase within the period
of time set forth above.

If the Software does not perform substantially in accordance with the
Documentation, MVTec may, in its sole discretion repair or replace the
Software.

EXCEPT FOR THIS EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY, THE PRODUCT IS PROVIDED
WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.  MVTEC HEREBY EXCLUDES AND DISCLAIMS ALL
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  YOUR STATUTORY
WARRANTY RIGHTS SHALL REMAIN UNAFFECTED SUBJECT TO THE EXPRESS TERMS
OF THIS AGREEMENT.


6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

MVTEC'S LIABILITY IS UNLIMITED IN CASE OF INTENT AND GROSS NEGLIGENCE.

MVTEC IS LIABLE FOR SLIGHT NEGLIGENCE ONLY: (1) FOR DAMAGES RESULTING
FROM INJURY TO LIFE, BODY OR HEALTH; OR (2) FOR DAMAGES ARISING FROM
THE BREACH OF A MATERIAL CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION (I.E. AN OBLIGATION,
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY FOR THE FULFILLMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR
UPON WHICH YOU HAVE REASONABLY RELIED ON); IN SUCH CASE, HOWEVER,
LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FORESEEABLE, TYPICALLY
OCCURRING DAMAGE.

THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY IF MVTEC
FRAUDULENTLY CONCEALS A DEFECT OR IF MVTEC HAS ACCEPTED A GUARANTEE
FOR THE QUALITY OF THE SOFTWARE.  THE SAME APPLIES TO YOUR CLAIMS
UNDER THE GERMAN PRODUCT LIABILITY ACT.

FURTHER LIABILITY OF MVTEC IS EXCLUDED.


7. HAZARDOUS USES

The Software is not designed and/or intended for use in connection
with any application requiring fail-safe performance, such as the
operation of nuclear power facilities, air traffic control or
navigation systems, weapon control systems, life support systems, or
any other system whose failure could lead to death, personal injury,
or severe physical or environmental damage (High Risk Use).  You agree
that you may not use the Software in such High Risk Use scenarios.


8. ENTIRE AGREEMENT/SEVERABILITY

This Agreement contains the entire, final, and exclusive understanding
between MVTec and you, and may not be modified or amended except by
written instrument, executed by authorized representatives of MVTec
and you.  If any provisions of this Agreement are held to be illegal,
invalid, or enforceable for any reason, the remainder of the
provisions of this license will remain in full force and effect and
you and MVTec will agree on the replacement of the invalid contractual
provision by an appropriate provision which comes as close as possible
to what you and MVTec would have wanted, had they considered the
point.


9. APPLICABLE LAW

This Software License Agreement is governed by the laws of Germany.
The 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International
Sale of Goods shall not apply.  All of the disputes arising from this
