1. SOFTWARE LICENSE

This section delineates the terms and conditions associated with the Software License, catering to both Licenses obtained through Trial periods and those acquired under paid conditions.

1.1. LICENSE GRANT.

Subject to Licensee’s continuous compliance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and payment of the required fees (if applicable), Highfigure hereby grants the Licensee a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-assignable, world-wide License to download, install, access and use the Software for the personal and/or internal business purposes, but conditioned upon use only (i) in accordance with the rights and restrictions contained in the Agreement; (ii) during the term of such License; (iii) within the scope of the License type; and (iv) in a manner consistent with the terms of the Agreement and applicable Documentation.

1.2. LICENSE ACTIVATION.

Access to the Software and its associated functions may be provided by:
(a) first launching the Software;
(b) activation of the provided License Key.

The first launch of the Software leads to the automatic granting of the Trial period License to the User and does not require the activation of the License Key. Upon expiration of the Trial period of License, the User may be required to re-activate the Software using the License Key. 

The User has the option to obtain a License Key for the extended Trial period under the terms stipulated in the Agreement, or by acquiring a paid version of the License. Following the completion of the required payment transaction on the designated processing platform, the User receives an email containing the pertinent License Key, enabling the subsequent activation of the Software.

The use of licensed access to Software mandates activation with an active License Key for continued access. Failure to perform the activation results in the complete restriction of access to the functionality of the Software, which requires an applicable License. 

Notably, the purchased License for a singular Device confers the entitlement to an additional activation on an alternative Device, subject to a one-time occurrence. The number of Licenses that can be purchased by the User simultaneously is not limited. 

Nevertheless, the User acknowledges and agrees that the number of purchased Licenses does not affect the number of permissible additional activations of the Software. Consequently, irrespective of the quantity of purchased Licenses, only one additional activation will be authorized, with the exception of the User’s own Device.

1.3. LICENSES TYPES.

1.3.1. TRIAL LICENSE. 

In accordance with the cl. 1.1 hereof, Licensor may grant User a License for the sole purpose of testing and evaluating the Software on an unpaid basis for a limited period of time set out in this Agreement (“Trial License”). The Trial License becomes active immediately upon the User’s initiation of the Software and is granted for a limited Trial period of 14 (fourteen) calendar days.

The Trial License grants the User unrestricted access to all available features and funtionalities of the Software. This encompasses, but is not limited to, Gate Mode, Web-admin management, and Isolation, with the capability to share up to 3 (three) local USB devices. Any User may connect to any remote USB device, subject to exceptions set forth in Section 8 hereof. Only one User may connect to a shared remote USB device at a time.

The Trial License is provided under the defined terms and conditions to enable the User to assess the Software’s functionality before committing to a paid License. The Trial period allows the User to acquaint themselves with the Software’s features, evaluate its alignment with their needs, and make an informed decision regarding whether to proceed with the paid License. The intention is to afford the User a comprehensive understanding of the Software’s capabilities and suitability for their specific requirements.

The Trial License automatically expires at the end of the Trial period, at which point, the access to the functionality of the Software shall become limited, and the User will have access to the Licenses specified in clause 1.3.2 hereof. Highfigure may terminate Your Trial License at any time with immediate effect for any reason and without liability to Highfigure of any kind. 

Following the expiration of the Trial period, the Licensee may request an extended Trial period of 14 (fourteen) calendar days from Licensor. Upon completion of the designated form, the Licensee will receive a License Key with access to the Software for the above period. 

The Company retains the authority to alter or terminate the free Trial License arrangement, and the User is encouraged to review and comply with any updates or modifications to the EULA presented by the Company.

1.3.2. COST-FREE LICENSES.

(a) Client License. The Client License herein grants the User the non-exclusive right to connect and use an unlimited number of local USB devices within the Software, subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 8 herein, for personal or business purposes. This License, however, expressly restricts and prohibits the Licensee from sharing said devices over the network.

The Client License is granted without incurring any fees and automatically activated upon the expiration of other Licenses acquired or purchased by the Licensee in accordance with cl. 1.3.1 and 1.3.3 hereof. 

The Client License is designed to operate independently within the specified limitations. Simultaneous use of the Client License with a Trial License, Single License or Gate Mode License is not available due to potential conflicts in functionality. 

(b) Limited Web-admin License. Upon installation and activation of the Software, the User is inherently granted free access to the Web-admin management function. Access to the Web-admin management function is contingent upon the completion of a specific registration procedure by the User. This procedure involves the submission of required information and the fulfillment of necessary steps as outlined in the relevant registration process. The Limited Web-admin License, as provided, confers the Licensee with the ability to view connected desktop clients only. 

This License type does not provide the ability to manage connected desktop clients through the Web-admin function. To enable this feature, the Licensee is required to purchase a Full Web-admin License in accordance with sub-clause (c) of clause 1.3.3 hereof.

1.3.3. PURCHASED LICENSES.

(a) Single License. In the event that the Licensee finds the Software functionality satisfactory during the Trial period, the User possesses the entitlement to purchase a Single License for Software utilization. 

Upon payment of the fees and subject to Your continuous compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Highfigure will provide You with a License Key to activate the Software with a Single License. The Single License grants the Licensee the right to download, install, access and use the full functionality of the Software, except for the Gate Mode and Web-admin functions, with the ability to share up to 10 (ten) local USB devices. While multiple Users may remotely connect to shared USB devices, Licensee acknowledges and agrees that only one User can establish a connection to a shared remote USB device at any given moment. 

The Single License is granted on a perpetual basis, ensuring continuous access to the licensed functionalities without temporal restrictions, unless otherwise specified in the Agreement. 

(b) Gate Mode License. The Gate Mode License grants You the right to use the expanded Software functionality, which includes the scope of rights granted under the terms of the Single License, and additionally grants You the right to access and use Gate Mode in Your internal personal and/or business operations. Gate Mode provides the ability to share and access up to 10 (ten) local USB devices across the network. This feature facilitates collaborative and integrated workflows by allowing Users within the Licensee’s internal network to remotely connect to shared USB devices.

(c) Full Web-admin License. To enable active management and administration of connected desktop clients through the Web-admin function, the User must procure a separate Full Web-admin License. This License is requisite for the execution of management actions, distinguishing it from the Limited Web-admin License that exclusively supports viewing capabilities.

The Licensor may provide access to the Web-admin function on a Subscription basis. Upon successful payment for the Subscription in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth by the Licensor, the Licensee is granted a temporary License to use the Web-admin function, including the capability to manage connected desktop clients. The Full Web-admin License is valid for the same duration as the respective Subscription for which the Licensee has made the payment. The rights granted under this License are temporary and are solely for the duration of the active Subscription period. 

If the Licensor does not receive the recurring Subscription payment or cannot validate the License periodically, then the Software may become inactive without additional notice until the Licensor receives the payment or validates the License.

1.3.4. DOCUMENTATION LICENSE.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Highfigure grants You a non-exclusive License to make and use any number of copies of any Documentation associated with the Software. This License authorizes the Licensee to employ such copies exclusively for internal purposes directly related to the utilization of the Software in accordance with the terms delineated in the Agreement. The number of copies generated under this License should be reasonable and directly aligned with the Licensee’s legitimate internal requirements for Software use.

The duration of the Documentation License coincides with the validity period of any other License from the above acquired or obtained by the User, as explicitly stipulated in the Agreement. Any use of Documentation beyond the scope of this License or after the expiration of the associated License may constitute a breach of the Agreement.

2. USAGE, TECHNICAL SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE

2.1. Storage and Usage. The Licensee is entitled to store or install a copy of the Software on a Device or storage device, such as a network server, used only to install or run the Software on Devices used by a licensed User in accordance with Section 1 hereof. 

The Software is authorized for use in strict conformity with the terms specified in the relevant License types and the restrictions expressly outlined herein. The Licensee is obliged to adhere to the stipulations hereof.

Subject to the provisions of cl. 1.2 hereof, the Software under one License may not be installed and used on multiple Devices. In situations requiring the deployment of multiple copies, each individual Device must possess a distinct and separate License installed. The Licensee is prohibited from installing or utilizing the Software on multiple Devices under a single License, unless otherwise permitted hereunder or authorized by the Licensor.

The optimal access to and seamless utilization of specific functionalities inherent in the Software, notably the sharing of USB devices over the network, may necessitate a consistent and stable direct Internet connection. The Licensee acknowledges that interruptions or disruptions to their Internet connection may impede or disable certain functionalities of the Software.

2.2. Validation. The Licensor retains the explicit right to conduct periodic validations of the License under which the Software is utilized by the Licensee. The Licensor may perform these License validation checks at intervals deemed necessary to verify that the Licensee continues to adhere to the specified terms hereof.

The Licensor reserves the right to conduct these validation checks without providing specific prior notification to the Licensee. The Licensee acknowledges and accepts that such periodic validations are a standard practice to maintain the integrity of the licensing framework.

In the event that the results of a validation check indicate non-compliance with the licensing terms, the Licensor may take appropriate actions, including, but not limited to, imposing limitations on Software functionalities or terminating the License without any prior notice to Licensee.

2.3. Technical support. Regardless of the type of the License obtained, the Licensee is entitled to receive technical support from the Licensor without incurring additional charges. The Licensee can initiate a technical support request by contacting the Licensor via the dedicated support email at support@highfigure.net. The Licensee is entitled to obtain technical support for a duration of 3 (three) years commencing from the date of License acquisition or purchase.

The Licensor commits to undertaking all reasonable and necessary measures to deliver timely technical support. However, the specific timeframe for support resolution may vary based on factors such as issue complexity, the number of requests from other Users that are simultaneously processed by support staff, etc. The Licensee is expected to cooperate with the Licensor during the technical support process, providing necessary information and access to facilitate issue resolution. In the event that the Licensee requires a change in the primary Device associated with a specific License, the Licensee is entitled to seek assistance from the Licensor’s support to connect the License to another Device from which the Software will be accessed.

The Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Licensees using paid Licenses have a priority right to resolve their issues when contacting technical support.

The Licensor, in providing technical support, will use reasonable efforts to assist You with the problems You are experiencing but, due to the variety and complexity of possible issues, the Licensor may not be able to resolve Your issues. This may include, for example, issues that arise as a result of software or hardware errors not yet resolved by the manufacturer, or issues related to the equipment configuration that makes it impossible or unreasonably difficult for the Company to properly diagnose and resolve the issue, failure to meet the technical characteristics of the Device or USB device the specifications required for Software usage, and other reasons beyond the Company’s direct control.

3. SOFTWARE UPDATES

Highfigure will use its best endeavors to ensure ongoing development of the Software, including correction of errors and inexpediency and, at the discretion of Highfigure, to change the Software with the aim of making the Software compatible with new versions of third-party’s standard software. The Company, periodically and without Your separate permission or consent, may from time to time deploy an Update of, or replacement for, any Software or part of it, and as a result of any such deployment You may not be able to use the applicable Software (or certain functions of the Software) until any such update is fully installed or activated. 

Updates may include both additions to, and removal of, any particular features or functionality offered by a Software or may replace it entirely, and the Company will determine the content, features and functionality of the updated Software in its sole discretion.

The Company in its sole discretion will determine when and if Updates are appropriate, and has no obligation to make any Updates available to You. The Company in its sole discretion may stop providing Updates for any version of the Software other than the most current version, or Updates supporting use of the Software in connection with any versions of Systems, Devices, browser programs and other software with which the Software is designed to operate.

The User will be able to access the Updates under the following conditions:

3.1. Updates within the Software version. Throughout the License term, the Licensor retains the right to release and provide You with Updates for the currently utilized version of the Software. These Updates may encompass generally available error corrections, alterations, maintenance patch releases, enhancements, and, if applicable, revised User Documentation.

All Updates, modifications, and corrections implemented within the same version of the Software are provided without additional charges. They are made available to all individuals who lawfully deploy the Software and do not necessitate separate payments. To install available Updates within the Software version, the Licensee must manually initiate the Software Update process, provided that Updates are accessible.

3.2. Release of a new version of the Software. In the event that the Company releases a new version of the Software, the User shall be required to purchase a License for the relevant version of the Software in order to access and use it. 

Purchasing a License for the updated version ensures Your access to any new features, improvements, or modifications that may be incorporated into the latest Software version.

3.3. Temporary restriction of access to the Software. The Company reserves the right to address and rectify software bugs and issues within the Software. In the course of bug fixing and system maintenance, the Company may temporarily restrict or modify certain functionalities of the Software to ensure a smooth User experience. 

The duration of such limitations will be determined by the Company based on the time required for necessary corrections, bug fixes, releasing Updates and/or new versions of the Software. 

If, due to a fault on the part of the Licensor, access to the Web-admin function is temporarily restricted, and the Licensee is thereby deprived of the opportunity to exercise the rights granted under the License, the Full Web-admin License will be extended for the duration of the period during which access to this function was unavailable.

4. PURCHASE OF A LICENSE

4.1. Payment for the License. Highfigure uses third-party payment providers to authenticate payments when You purchase the relevant License. Please read the terms and conditions and privacy policies of applicable third-party payment providers to understand their terms and conditions.

To acquire the relevant License, the User must provide valid debit / credit card details or select the other available payment method on the third-party payment provider’s website that is accepted by the applicable third-party payment provider.

By initiating the purchase process, User confirm the understanding and acceptance of the responsibilities associated with payment authorization and agree to adhere to the specified terms and conditions. By proceeding with the purchase process, User explicitly claim and warrant that its use of a debit / credit card or other payment method is duly authorized. Furthermore, User asserts that all submitted information is accurate and true. User agrees to bear the responsibility for paying all fees (including, but not limited to, bank commissions and/or commissions of third-party payment providers) incurred during the purchase transaction. 

4.2. Pricing. The payment amount for the License is contingent upon the selected License type chosen by the User. Your purchase price will include the price of the License plus fees of financial institutions, payment service providers and any applicable taxes in effect at the time of purchase and based on the country data You provide on the payment processing page. The Company reserves the right to change License prices and availability at any time. The final cost of the License is determined depending on the payment method and will be brought to Your attention after a payment method is chosen and will be included in the User sales receipt.

All transactions will be conducted in the currency specified on the Website or associated payment platform. Users are responsible for any currency conversion fees or charges that may be applied by their financial institutions. In the event of international transactions, currency exchange rates may impact the final cost of the License. Users are encouraged to familiarize themselves with any associated currency conversion fees that may apply.

If the currency conversion takes place, You agree that it will be completed at the transaction exchange rate set for the relevant currency exchange. The transaction exchange rate is adjusted regularly and includes a currency conversion spread applied and retained by payment system providers on the base exchange rate to form the rate applicable to Your conversion.

4.3. Subscription. If You have subscribed to Full Web-admin License and provided Company or third-party payment provider with Your payment information, You authorize us to charge You a periodical fee at the then-current Subscription rate You have selected. You acknowledge that the Subscription terms and rates for each available plan are subject to change, and You agree to pay the applicable Subscription rate unless You cancel the Subscription, as described in this section.

Upon the conclusion of each Subscription period, the paid Subscription for the Full Web-admin License will automatically renew for the designated duration for continued access to the Web-admin function, as initially chosen by the User during the purchase process (1 (one) year). To avoid automatic renewal and subsequent charges, the User must initiate the cancellation procedure at least 24 (twenty-four) hours before the end of the relevant Subscription period. User expressly acknowledges and agree that, by not canceling the Subscription within the stipulated timeframe, it authorizes the automatic renewal of the Subscription for the selected period. User further acknowledges that charges associated with renewal will be applied.

In the event that the User decides to cancel the Subscription, this action signifies the discontinuation of automatic renewal. However, the User will retain access to the Web-admin function of the Subscription under the Full Web-admin License for the remaining duration until the conclusion of the paid Subscription period. Notably, deleting the Software does not cancel Your Subscription.

4.4. Taxes. Payment for the paid Licenses, the Subscription fees for the Full Web-admin License and any other charges You may incur, such as taxes and possible transaction fees, will be charged by the relevant third-party payment provider. Local taxes and other fees may vary depending on the location of the User and the payment method chosen. If You are required to withhold any tax for payments due, You shall gross up Your payments to the Company so that the Company receives the amount due in full, free of any deductions. 

You hereby confirm that the Company and the relevant third-party payment provider can rely on the name and address that You provide to the third-party payment provider when You agree to the fees or in connection with Your payment method as being the place of supply for sales tax and income tax purposes or as being the place of supply for VAT purposes where You have permanent residence / have established Your business.

5. REFUND TERMS

The Licensee possesses the entitlement to seek a reimbursement of the full amount for the perpetual License acquisition within a 14-day period from the date of purchasing the respective License. Post the conclusion of this stipulated duration, the funds remitted for the License shall not be subject to reimbursement by the Licensor.

Following the Licensor’s decision to grant a refund, the Licensee acknowledges that the relevant License will be terminated after a period of 7 (seven) calendar days. 

The payment made for the Full Web-admin License is considered non-refundable, subject to clause 4.3 of the Agreement. However, it’s important to note that the Licensee does retain the right to terminate the Subscription to this License, provided such termination is initiated at least 24  (twenty-four) hours prior to the expiration of the Subscription term for which the Full Web-admin License was purchased in order to avoid re-purchasing the License for the same term.

6. PROHIBITED USES OF THE SOFTWARE AND ACTIONS OF THE USER
