VIRTUOSO HOST COMPONENT END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT V1.0

This Virtuoso™ Host Component End User License Agreement (the “Agreement”) contains the terms and conditions upon which Virtuoso Software, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company (“Virtuoso”), grants to you (“Licensee”) a limited license to the Virtuoso™ Host Component and related software. Please read this Agreement carefully. By clicking “I AGREE”, obtaining a Virtuoso™ Host Component activation key, downloading, installing or otherwise using the Software as defined herein, you acknowledge that you have read and accept the terms and conditions of this Agreement in its entirety. You also acknowledge that you understand the software product and specific license grant concepts associated with the terms of this Agreement, in particular that a software product may or may not convey specific license grants described in this Agreement. You also acknowledge that you understand the software package or packages that this Agreement applies and relates to in reference to the Host Component being licensed.

If you are entering into this Agreement within the scope of your employment or through an engagement as an independent contractor, the term “Licensee” includes your employer or principal, as applicable, and you warrant and represent to Virtuoso that you are authorized to enter into this Agreement on your employer’s or principal’s behalf.

The grants permitted in this license may be obtained by a purchased software product, or may be granted without charge, at the discretion of Virtuoso. The pricing structure of the grants as offered may change at any time without notice, and future offering of new issuances of the grants may be discontinued at any time.

The Virtuoso™ Host Component is understood to consist of two types of software packages or functionality: “design-time” packages and “run-time” packages. Run-time packages consist of software components and assemblies that are intended to be used during the run-time execution of a derivative Host Application that the Designated User develops in conjunction with the use of the Host Component. Run-time package examples include port metadata and host component libraries provided by the Host Component. A deployment of a Host Application written by the Designated User would generally involve distribution of the run-time packages of the Host Component.

Design-time packages consist of executables and tools that the Designated User uses during the development of the derivative Host Application to automate or assist its development but are not required to execute with the Host Application in order for the Host Application to perform its function. An example of a design-time package includes component configuration tools used in the schematic editor to configure a component. A deployment of a Host Application written by the Designated User would not involve distribution of the design-time packages of the Host Component.

The terms and conditions that follow cannot be altered, modified, or amended without the written consent of Virtuoso.

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly disclaimed and shall not apply to this Agreement.

   Licensee agrees that: (1) any claim, dispute, or controversy Licensee may have against Virtuoso or its third party account management service provider arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with this Agreement, Software, Library or Site, shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and conducted before a single arbitrator pursuant to the applicable Rules and Procedures established by AAA (“Rules and Procedures”); (2) the arbitration shall be held in Tulsa, Oklahoma or at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by Licensee and Virtuoso; (3) the arbitrator shall apply Oklahoma law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; (4) there shall be no authority for any claims to be arbitrated on a class or representative basis; arbitration can decide only the Licensee’s individual claims; and the arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated; (5) in the event that the Licensee is able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Virtuoso may elect to pay as much of the Licensee’s filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive; and (6) with the exception of subpart (4) above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures established by AAA, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, subpart (4) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this Arbitration Provision shall be null and void, Licensee shall not be entitled to arbitrate its dispute. For more information on AAA and its Rules and Procedures, Licensee may visit the AAA website.

   To the extent that the arbitration provisions of this Agreement do not apply, this Agreement will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts serving Tulsa County, Oklahoma, U.S.A., and the parties agree and submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of these courts, except that nothing herein shall in any way prohibit or limit Virtuoso from instituting an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to obtain injunctive relief or to protect or enforce its intellectual property rights.
