2 Our contract with you

2.1       There are two models for buying the Software:

2.1.1 You may purchase the Software by installing the Server Components on your own network. With this purchase you will have the requested number of end-user licences as agreed in communication with us allowing all the users to login to the website that is part of the Server Components and/or to use the Software. Subject to the terms of this agreement and EULA, this purchase gives all of the users a right to use the software indefinitely. You may purchase support and maintenance services, which can be renewed annually, but the original licence to use the software remains in force regardless of whether or not the support and maintenance service is bought .

You, as one of the multiple end-users, may use the Software either through the Client Components or through the website interface of the Server Components. A single licence covers usage of the Client Components, the website interface of the Server Components, or both.

2.1.2 You have another option to purchase the required number of end-user licences, as may be agreed in communication with us and to be used for an agreed time period without the facility of receiving the Server Components but only receive the Client Components. The Server Components will be hosted by us. There is a facility of trialling which allows the usage of the Client Components and the website interface of the hosted Server Components.

2.2       We shall accept your order by e-mail confirmation. That is when our contract is made. Our message will also confirm details of your purchase and tell you when we shall dispatch your order or when your order will be available for download.

2.3       We may change these terms from time to time. The terms that apply to you are those posted here on the Website on the day you place your order or posted to you along with the media containing the Software, as the case may be.

2.4       If in future, you buy the Software from us under any arrangement which may involve online payment via the Website, these terms still apply so far as they can be applied.

2.5       If we owe you money as per this agreement, we will refund you the money as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event no later than 7 days from the date it falls due. The period of 7 days will run from the date of acceptance of your claim by us.

3 Your account with us
