  3. Consent to Collection and Use of Data and Information. If you choose to permit it, QSC and its subsidiaries and affiliates may collect, store, process, and use technical, diagnostic and usage information and other data and information related to your use of QSC Software. This includes, without limitation: design metrics such as hardware inventory and list of software components and their properties; device configuration information and general location (e.g., country, state/province, and city); QSC Software version, build number, summaries, and metrics; and other information associated with QSC Software. You agree that QSC and its subsidiaries and affiliates may collect, store, process, and use this data and information to: (1) help with the provision of QSC’s products, services, and support, including troubleshooting and localization; (2) to evaluate interest in, develop, enhance, localize, improve, and analyze the performance and/or condition of QSC’s products and services; and (3) monitor and analyze trends, usage and activities in connection with QSC’s products and services.

QSC and its licensors reserve all rights not expressly granted to you in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you shall not nor shall you permit any other party to: (i) make copies of the QSC Software except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, or (ii) disassemble, decompile, reverse engineer, or translate any part of the QSC Software, or otherwise attempt to reconstruct or discover the source code of the QSC Software, except and only to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this limitation, or (iii) modify or create derivative works based upon the QSC Software, or (iv) externally distribute, sublicense, resell, encumber or otherwise transfer the QSC Software, or (v) rent, lease, lend, or use the QSC Software, or any part thereof, for timesharing or bureau use, or (vi) allow a third party to copy, access, or use the Software (except as expressly provided in this Agreement), or (vi) alter or remove any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notice which may appear on the QSC Software, or (vii) take any action that would cause the QSC Software to be placed in the public domain or become subject to open source license agreement.

  5. Disclaimer of Warranties. QSC SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF NON- INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE, IN NO EVENT SHALL QSC OR ITS LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, OR ANY OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS) ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE QSC SOFTWARE OR THE PROVISION OF OR FAILURE TO PROVIDE SUPPORT SERVICES, EVEN IF QSC HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, HOWSOEVER CAUSED OR ARISING AND REGARDLESS OF LEGAL THEORY OR FORESEEABILITY. QSC'S ENTIRE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM OR LOSS, DAMAGE OR EXPENSE FROM ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED TEN US DOLLARS ($10.00).

In such states and jurisdictions, QSC’s liability shall be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

  7. Basis of Bargain. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT QSC HAS ENTERED INTO THIS AGREEMENT IN RELIANCE UPON THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND THE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES AND DAMAGES SET FORTH HEREIN, AND THAT THE SAME FORM AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

You may use such updates or upgrades only in conjunction with your then- existing QSC Software licensed under this Agreement. The QSC Software and all updates and upgrades are licensed as a single product and such updates and upgrades may not be separated from the QSC Software to exceed the scope of your original license.

  10. Third Party Software. QSC Software may contain components that are owned by third parties and licensed by QSC. You acknowledge that some of these components may be licensed under the so-called open source licenses. QSC may provide a list of such components for a particular version of the QSC Software upon your written request and the licenses under which these components are available. To the extent the terms of the licenses applicable to such components prohibit any of the restrictions in this Agreement, such restrictions will not apply to such components. Nothing in this Agreement limits an end user’s rights under, or grants the end user rights that supersede, the terms of any open source license. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT QSC MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE QUALITY, CAPABILITIES, OPERATIONS, PERFORMANCE OR SUITABILITY OF ANY SUCH COMPONENT.

  11. No Assignment: You may not transfer or assign the QSC Software or this Agreement to another party without the prior written consent of QSC. If such consent is given and you transfer or assign the QSC Software and/or this Agreement, then you must at the same time either transfer all copies of the QSC Software and Documentation to the same party or destroy any such materials not transferred. Except as set forth above, you may not transfer or assign the QSC Software or your rights under this Agreement.

  12. Term and Termination: This Agreement is effective for the useful life of the QSC Software. However, this Agreement and license granted hereunder will immediately terminate, without notice, if you fail to comply with any term or condition of this Agreement.

  15. Governing Law; Venue.

    1. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California as such laws are applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within California between California residents and by the laws of the United States. You agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (1980) is hereby excluded in its entirety from application to this License Agreement. Each party, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) hereby irrevocably submits itself to and consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Central District of California or the Superior Court of Orange County, California for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding in connection with any controversy, claim or dispute relating to this Agreement or to enforce a resolution, settlement, order or award made pursuant hereto, and (ii) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper.

    2. The foregoing terms regarding governing law and venue in Section 15(a) shall be waived for a Government Customer (as defined below). For a Government Customer, this Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted and enforced in accordance with, the laws applicable to Government Customer without reference to conflict of laws. A “Government Customer” means any QSC customer that is a unit, agency, department, political subdivision, authority or instrumentality of a local, state or federal government in the United States, which includes but is not limited to a government office, government agency, or university.

  16. Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of any of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired and a valid, legal and enforceable provision of similar intent and economic impact shall be substituted therefore.

  17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding and agreement between you and QSC, supersedes all prior agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to the Software, and may be amended only in a writing signed by both parties.

  18. Waiver. Failure or delay on the part of QSC to exercise any right, power, privilege, or remedy will not constitute a waiver of, or bar the later exercise of, that or any other right, power, privilege, or remedy of QSC.

  19. No Strict Interpretation. No rule of strict construction shall apply against or in favor of either party in the construction and interpretation of this Agreement.
