Noncommercial Use
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
noncommercial uses, subject to the following conditions:
|
|
|
|
1. User acknowledges that the Software is still in the development
|
|
stage and that it is being supplied "as is," without any support
|
|
services from ACM. Neither ACM nor the author makes any
|
|
representations or warranties, express or implied, including, without
|
|
limitation, any representations or warranties of the merchantability
|
|

|
|
software, will not infringe on any patents or other proprietary rights
|
|
of others.
|
|
|
|
2. ACM shall not be held liable for direct, indirect, incidental or
|
|
consequential damages arising from any claim by User or any third
|
|
party with respect to uses allowed under this Agreement, or from any
|
|
use of the Software.
|
|
|
|
3. User agrees to fully indemnify and hold harmless ACM and/or the
|
|
author(s) of the original work from and against any and all claims,
|
|
demands, suits, losses, damages, costs and expenses arising out of the
|
|
User's use of the Software, including, without limitation, arising out
|
|
of the User's modification of the Software.
|
|
|
|

|
|
third parties provided that: (a) if posted separately, it clearly
|
|
acknowledges that it contains material copyrighted by ACM (b) no
|
|
charge is associated with such copies, (c) User agrees to notify ACM
|
|
and the Author(s) of the distribution, and (d) User clearly notifies
|
|
secondary users that such modified work is not the original Software.
|
|
|
|
5. User agrees that ACM, the authors of the original work and others
|
|
may enjoy a royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, copy, modify
|
|
and redistribute these modifications to the Software made by the User
|
|
and distributed to third parties as a derivative work under this
|
|
agreement.
|
|
|
|
6. This agreement will terminate immediately upon User's breach of, or
|
|
non-compliance with, any of its terms. User may be held liable for any
|
|
copyright infringement or the infringement of any other proprietary
|
|
rights in the Software that is caused or facilitated by the User's
|
|
failure to abide by the terms of this agreement.
|
|
|
|

|
|
the law of the state of New York applicable to contracts performed
|
|
entirely within the State. The parties irrevocably consent to the
|
|
exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts located in the
|
