This Software is provided by Itasca or one of its authorized resellers. Title to the media on which the Software is recorded and to the printed documentation in support thereof, if any, is transferred to You, but title to the Software is retained by Itasca. You assume responsibility for the selection of the Software to achieve Your intended results, for the installation of the Software, and for the use of and the results obtained from the Software.

We reserve the right to modify or discontinue the Software (or any portion of the Software), temporarily or permanently, with or without notice to You, and are not obligated to support or update the Software, except as described in this EULA. YOU AGREE THAT ITASCA SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY IN THE EVENT THAT WE EXERCISE OUR RIGHT TO MODIFY OR DISCONTINUE THE SOFTWARE (OR ANY PORTION OF THE SOFTWARE).

2. Scope of the End User License

Itasca hereby grants to the Licensee a non-assignable and non-exclusive right to use the Software in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in this EULA solely for the Licensee’s own internal business operations. The license is effective upon installation by the Licensee and remains in force until termination by either party.

The Software can be licensed as (i) a perpetual license or (ii) a subscription license valid for a specified period of time.

• A perpetual license gives the Licensee a right to use the licensed version of the Software perpetually. However, except as described in Section 9 (Warranties), Itasca makes no warranty that the licensed version will work on future computer operating systems or if the software version is licensed with a hardware key, that the hardware key will continue to work in perpetuity.
• A subscription license is a Web License only and gives the Licensee a right to use the Software (the current or at any time the latest version) from the date of purchase for as long as the subscription is valid.
• Subscriptions are purchased and managed through the Itasca Software Website and the FastSpring Buyer Portal. Once a subscription is purchased there is no cancellation.
• A subscription license is automatically renewed unless the payment type does not allow auto-renewal. Licensee will be notified of auto-renewal thirty (15-45) days prior to their subscription end date. Licensee will have the option to cancel the automatic renewal during that thirty (15-45) day period in their FastSpring Buyer Portal (see sales receipt for link to FastSpring Buyer Portal).

3. License Types

All Itasca software is secured unless operated in Demonstration Mode or provided as freeware, as follows:

• A Standard Single License is secured via a hardware lock and allows up to two instances of the software to cycle or modify models on a single computer.

• A Network License is secured via a hardware lock, attached to a server, and allows one instance of the software, per seat, to be used on any computer connected to the network. The number of seats available is controlled by the hardware lock.
• A Web License is secured via a web-based license management system and requires an internet connection. Web Licenses for FLAC2D 9, MassFlow 9, 3DEC 7, FLAC3D 7, and PFC 7 (or newer) allow up to two instances of the software to cycle or modify models, per seat, on a single computer. Web licenses for FLAC 8.1 and Griddle 2 only permit one instance of the software to cycle or modify models, per seat, on a single computer. Multiple seats may be purchased and added to a Web License and used by registered end-users on a first-come basis.

substantial amounts of assistance, consulting support is available. In all instances, the user is encouraged to send the problem description to Itasca by electronic mail in order to minimize the amount of time spent trying to define the problem.

Itasca (or its authorized Reseller) reserves the right to determine what qualifies as no-cost assistance and what requires payment.

• Computer Information. The following features require Internet protocols. They transmit information, as noted in each item, in order to provide the Software named.
  • Automatic Update Notifications. This optional utility queries the Itasca website at startup to determine if a program update is available and alert You if so. The query appears in a standard internet access log that identifies: the date and time of the query, the computer IP address, the name and full version of the program, and the referrer for the page request.
  • Technical Support Dialog. You can use this optional utility to request technical support. The form requires the following data: user first and last name, email address, phone number, company name, computer operating system name and version, Itasca software name and version, program license number, the time and date of the request, and Your problem statement. This data is transmitted as an email to the Itasca office/reseller responsible for providing technical support.
  • Web Licenses. Itasca software secured with a web license requires license validation comprised of a database query to the Itasca web licensing system. The query transmits the current computer name, current computer user name, the user account for the web license, the computer IP address, the time and date of the query, and the name and full version of the Itasca code.

24. Third Party Acknowledgements and Terms

26. General

This EULA constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all other agreements, statements, and other arrangements between the parties in relation to the subject matter hereof. If any provision of this EULA is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction, to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, such provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary and replaced with a valid provision that best embodies the intent of this EULA, so that this EULA shall remain in full force and effect. Each party acknowledges that it has not relied on or been induced to enter this EULA by a representation other than those expressly set out in this EULA. Itasca and You do not intend to confer, and this EULA will not be construed as conferring, any right, remedy, obligation or liability of any kind on any person other than Itasca, You, and each party’s successors and assigns. No agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by this EULA. No modification, alteration or waiver of any of the provisions of this EULA will be effective unless in writing and signed on behalf of each of the parties. No waiver of any of this EULA shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Itasca’s failure to assert any right or provision under this EULA shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. You agree that the web-based Software shall be deemed solely based in Minnesota, United States of America and the web-based Software shall be deemed a passive service that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over Itasca in jurisdictions other than Minnesota. This EULA is governed by United States and Minnesota law, without regard to conflict of law provisions, and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Hennepin County, Minnesota in relation to any dispute between them arising out of the subject matter of this EULA. YOU FURTHER AGREE TO INDEMNIFY THE ITASCA PARTIES FOR ALL REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES IN RESPONDING TO AND DEFENDING ANY LEGAL ACTION BROUGHT BY YOU IN CONTRAVENTION OF THIS FORUM CLAUSE. In the case of a dispute, we strongly encourage You to first contact us directly to seek a resolution. We will consider reasonable requests to resolve the dispute through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation or arbitration, as alternatives to litigation.
