The following describes your license to use the software (the “Software”) that has been provided with your EFFICIENT DSL customer premises equipment
(“Hardware”) and the limited warranty that EFFICIENT provides on its Software and Hardware.
Software License
The Software is protected by copyright laws and international copyright treaties. The Software is licensed and not sold to you. Accordingly, while you own the media
(CD ROM or floppy disk) on which the Software is recorded, EFFICIENT retains ownership of the Software itself.
1.
Grant of License
. You may install and use one (and only one) copy of the Software on the computer on which the Hardware is being installed. If the Hardware is
being installed on a network, you may install the Software on the network server or other server-side device on which the Hardware is being installed and onto the
client-side devices connected to the network as necessary.
2.
Restrictions
. The license granted is a limited license. You may NOT:
sublicense, assign, or distribute copies of the Software to others;
decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble or otherwise reduce the Software or any part thereof to a human perceivable form;
modify, adapt, translate or create derivative works based upon the Software or any part thereof; or
rent, lease, loan or otherwise operate for profit the Software.
3.
Transfer
. You may transfer the Software only where you are also transferring the Hardware. In such cases, you must remove all copies of the Software from any
devices onto which you have installed it, and must ensure that the party to whom you transfer the Hardware receives this License Agreement and Limited Warranty.
4.
Upgrades Covered
. This license covers the Software originally provided to you with the Hardware, and any additional software that you may receive from
EFFICIENT, whether delivered via tangible media (CD ROM or floppy disk), down loaded from EFFICIENT or delivered through customer support. Any such
additional software shall be considered “Software” for all purposes under this License.
5.
Export Law Assurance
. You acknowledge that the Software may be subject to export control laws and regulations of the U.S.A. You confirm that you will not
export or re-export the Software to any countries that are subject to export restrictions.
6.
No Other Rights Granted
. Other than the limited license expressly granted herein, no license, whether express or implied, by estoppel or otherwise, is granted to
any copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, or other proprietary rights of EFFICIENT.
7.
Termination
. Without limiting EFFICIENT’s other rights, EFFICIENT may terminate this license if you fail to comply with any of these provisions. Upon
termination, you must destroy the Software and all copies thereof.

The following limited warranties provided by EFFICIENT extend to the original end user of the Hardware/licensee of the Software and are not assignable or
transferable to any subsequent purchaser/licensee.

user documentation relating to the Hardware for a period of one year from the date the original end user received the Hardware.

uninterrupted or error free operation of our Software with the end user’s system.
