1.A. Grant of License and Use Rights. DS grants to you a nonexclusive, nontransferable right to use the Offering and the printed and/or electronic user documentation accompanying the Offering (the "Documentation") in accordance with this Agreement. This right is subject to your reactivating each of your licenses of the Offering (i) one (1) year after the date of the initial activation of such license, (ii) one (1) year after any subsequent reactivation of the license, and (iii) at every one (1)-year interval thereafter. In the event the activation of any of your licenses expires and the license is not reactivated, its activation and your ability to use the Offering will cease and the license will no longer be operational until reactivation occurs. The foregoing provisions regarding the reactivation requirement for licenses of the Offering apply solely to commercial licenses of the Offering (single-user licenses, network licenses and Worldwide SolidNetwork licenses, each as defined below) having no defined duration and does not apply to term licenses of the Offering or to licenses of SOLIDWORKS Student Edition.
If you have paid the license fee for a single-user license of the Offering, this Agreement permits you to install and use one (1) copy of the Offering on any single computer at any time in the country in which you have your principal place of business or, if one of your branches has acquired the license from your reseller, in which this branch is located, provided you have acquired the Offering from a DS reseller or a subsidiary or affiliated company of DS (“Affiliate”) located in the country in which it will be used. The foregoing restriction with respect to the location of the reseller does not apply if (i) you purchase a license for an Offering from a reseller located in any country within the European Union or the European Free Trade Association and (ii) you are located in any country within the European Union or the European Free Trade Association. If you change computers, you must move the license from the old computer to the new/upgraded computer. You may move this Offering to another country with the prior written approval of DS. The foregoing restriction with respect to the location of the reseller does not apply if (i) you purchase a license for an Offering from a reseller located in any country within the European Union or the European Free Trade Association and (ii) you are located in any country within the European Union or the European Free Trade Association. If you change computers, you must move the license from the old computer to the new/upgraded computer. You may move this Offering to another country with the prior written approval of DS. Such move, if approved, may be subject to payment of a fee. If you have a network license version of the Offering (an "SNL"), then at any time you may have as many copies of the Offering in use in the country in which it is licensed as you have licenses (see Section 1.A.b below). The Offering is "in use" on a computer when it is loaded into the temporary memory, i.e., RAM, or when a user is logged in. If the number of computers on which the Offering is installed or the potential number of users of the Offering exceeds the number of licenses you have acquired, then you must have an SNL version of the Offering installed to assure that the number of concurrent users of the Offering does not exceed the number of licenses acquired. License suites consisting of bundles of separate modules (such as SOLIDWORKS Professional) cannot float separately from each other (for example, where there is one SOLIDWORKS Professional license, Toolbox cannot be floated to one computer while PhotoView 360 is floated to a different computer). At the time of registration (see Section 9 below), you must inform us of the maximum number of potential users of the Offerings that you acquire. We recommend that you also inform us of the names of all potential users so that we can notify them of upcoming updates and other pertinent information. You will keep accurate and up-to-date records of the numbers and locations of all copies of the Offering; will supervise and control the use of the Offering in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and will provide copies of such records to DS upon reasonable request. The use of Online Services is granted in a named user-based mode, i.e., is authorized for a single user identified with a unique username and password to use the Online Services from a single machine at any given time ("Named User"). You shall ensure that users of Online Services do not share or use the same username and password. Named User(s) may be replaced as necessary to reflect permanent personnel change(s), provided the number of individuals authorized to use the Online Services does not exceed the maximum number of rights granted to you for such Offering. Upon DS's request, you shall provide DS with a signed document listing (i) the number of Named Users, (ii) the type of use of the Offerings, and (iii) the locations and types of the systems on which Online Services operate or on which you have installed the Offering(s), as applicable. To determine usage by you, DS may provide you with one or more utilities, either included within the Offering(s) or separately, for the purpose of analyzing access right(s) and utilization. In such case, you shall provide, if applicable, the unedited and unmodified output file(s) and/or report(s) resulting from the operation(s) of such utility or utilities, along with a signed declaration that the file or files are representative of actual Offering(s) usage. You are responsible for implementing all reasonable means to monitor your compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
If you have paid the license fee for the SNL version of the Offering or are using SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard or Professional or SOLIDWORKS Manage Professional, the following additional terms apply to your license:
a. The SNL version of the Offering must be installed on a network server with a dongle or an embedded software security mechanism that will permit only the number of licenses you have acquired to be in use at one time. Additional licenses can be added to the network license from time to time as such licenses are acquired.
b. The network may include SNLs used in different countries as long as each SNL is licensed for the country in which it is used. The required number of SNLs to be used in a particular country must be acquired from a DS reseller in such country. For example: SNLs managed from and installed on a server in the United States may be used by one person in Brazil and by one person in Mexico as long as one SNL was acquired in Brazil and the other SNL was acquired in Mexico. If, however, the server on which a SNL is installed is located in a country different from the country for which the SNL has been licensed, you should inform your DS reseller about this at the time of the order so that the SNLs can be administered properly. The foregoing sentence does not apply if (i) you purchase a license for an Offering from a reseller located in any country within the European Union or the European Free Trade Association and (ii) you are located in any country within the European Union or the European Free Trade Association.
c. In addition, the network on which the SNL version is installed may only serve licenses to client machines of the same legal entity or group located in the same global territory as the server. (For this purpose, DS considers there to be three global territories: the Western Hemisphere, Europe/Mid-East/Africa, and the rest of Asia/Australia). For example: All licenses used on a server located in the Western Hemisphere must be licensed for countries in the Western Hemisphere. Regardless of server location, you must always continue to comply with U.S. and U.K. export control laws.
d. With respect to subsections (a) through (c) above, only subsection (a) applies to SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard or Professional licenses and to SOLIDWORKS Manage Professional licenses. Additional terms and conditions applicable to SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard or Professional licenses and SOLIDWORKS Manage Professional licenses are set forth in Section 1.C below.
You may convert your SNL to a Worldwide SolidNetwork license upon approval by DS, your compliance with DS's reporting and other requirements for license usage, and your payment of the appropriate Worldwide SolidNetwork license fee. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, a Worldwide SolidNetwork license may be "floated" to and used in any geography in the world.
When working with the Adobe PDF software, you may embed copies of the font software into your electronic documents for the purpose of printing, viewing and editing the document. If the font software you are embedding is identified as "licensed for editable embedding" on Adobe’s website at http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/legal/embeddingeula.html, you may also embed copies of that font software for the additional purpose of editing your electronic documents. No other embedding rights are implied or permitted under this license. If the Offering is permanently installed on the hard disk or other storage device of a computer (other than a network server), then the person using that computer may also use the Offering on a portable or home computer while the original copy is not in use, provided the Offering is under active subscription service (as such is described in this Agreement).

1.B. Additional License Terms for eDrawings® Professional. SOLIDWORKS eDrawings Professional software is a collaboration tool. SOLIDWORKS eDrawings Professional thus enables you, and DS grants you a license, to make copies of a portion of SOLIDWORKS eDrawings Professional along with model files you have created and deliver such files to third parties with whom you collaborate in order to enable them, among other things, to view, mark-up and measure your models.
1.C. Additional License Terms for SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard or Professional and SOLIDWORKS Manage Professional.

You may use the SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard or Professional software within a network or other multi-station/client environment, provided you have one (1) SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard or Professional license per user concurrently connected to the SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard or Professional database or archive server (and, with respect to SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional licenses only, to the SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional Web server). The SQL Server 2014 Standard Edition, Runtime Restricted-Use Offering license contains other provisions regarding concurrent use. The terms of the SQL Server 2014 Express Edition license and the terms of the SQL Server 2014 Standard Edition, Runtime Restricted-Use Offering license are delivered with orders for, respectively, SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard software, SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional software and/or SOLIDWORKS Manage Professional software and are incorporated herein by reference. (b) SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional contains embedded software programs provided by Oracle Corporation and its affiliated companies ("Oracle") (the "Oracle Programs"), and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1 above, Oracle or its licensor(s) retain all ownership and intellectual property rights to the Oracle Programs and are each a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement. The Oracle Programs are subject to a restricted license and can be used only with their associated application package and cannot be modified by you. Some of the Oracle Programs may contain source code that Oracle may provide as part of its standard shipment of such programs, and such code shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement. (c) Third-party technology that may be appropriate or necessary for use with some of the Oracle Programs is specified in the application program documentation or as otherwise notified by DS, and such technology is licensed to you only for use with the application package under the terms of the third-party license agreement specified in the application package documentation or as otherwise notified by DS and not under the terms of this Agreement. (d) You agree (i) to allow DS to audit your use of the Oracle Programs, (ii) to provide DS with reasonable assistance and access to information in the course of such audit, and (iii) to allow DS to report the results of such audit to Oracle or to assign to Oracle DS's right to conduct the audit (without any obligation or liability on Oracle to pay your or DS's costs incurred as a result of the audit). (e) You acknowledge that SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional and SOLIDWORKS Manage Professional each contains software and technical data that are subject to the export control laws of the United States or the United Kingdom, and you agree not to directly or indirectly export, re-export SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional and/or SOLIDWORKS Manage Professional, i.e., move SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional or SOLIDWORKS Manage Professional from the country in which you first licensed it, without the appropriate United States or foreign government licenses and the written approval of DS and its licensors.

Other than as permitted under the rights grant in Section 1, you may not use any portion of the Offering separately from or independently of the Offering (for example, the Microsoft SQL Server software can only be used with the rest of the SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard or Professional Offering, provided such Offering is under the Server + CAL model or the Per Processor model) and other than for your normal business purposes and you may not provide access to or use of the Offering to any third party (other than a third party requiring access to SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard or Professional via a Web client or directly via a VPN); consequently, you may not sell, license, sublicense, transfer, assign, lease or rent (including via a timeshare arrangement) the Offering or the right to access and use granted by this Agreement. You may not use the Offering or the Documentation to develop application(s) for distribution to third parties unless you are a member in good standing of the SOLIDWORKS Partner Program or have entered into an agreement with DS for such usage/distribution. Other than as expressly set forth in Section 12, you may not install or use the Offering over the Internet, including, without limitation, use in connection with a Web hosting or similar service, or make the Offering available to third parties via the Internet on your computer system or otherwise. You may not modify or make works derivative of the Offering or make compilations or collective works that include the Offering, and you may not analyze for purposes competitive to DS, reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to discover the source code of the Offering, except as permitted under applicable law, as it contains trade secrets (such as the Offering’s structure, organization and code) of DS and its licensors.
4. Subscription Service. If you acquire subscription service from your reseller for the Offering that you have licensed hereunder by paying the fee for such service, your reseller will provide you for such copy: on-line web access to download the latest updates to the Offering; all major upgrades for the Offering released during the subscription period; and telephone support services. Subscription service is automatically included with any Offering ordered under a yearly or quarterly term license and with the Online Services and cannot be terminated separately. From time to time, DS may re-distribute Microsoft software components as part of an update to the Offering. You are eligible for such Microsoft components and warrant that you will install them only if you possess a validly licensed copy of the Microsoft products to which they relate. The term of this service runs for one (1) year. It may be renewed from year to year thereafter by paying the appropriate renewal fee. Any Offering that is delivered as an upgrade or update to a previous version of the licensed Offering must replace such previous version. No additional license is granted: you may install only such number of updates as equal the number of subscription service fees for which you have paid. Support Services policy applicable to Online Services is detailed on the website http://www.3ds.com/terms/support-policies for the term of the services, i.e., one (1) year. It is subject to change; however, any changes will not become effective until the commencement of the immediately-following support services term.
5. Privacy Policy. To obtain the Offering, you may need to provide DS with certain information about yourself, including, but not limited to, your name and email address. DS may also query your computer during the installation process to determine information including but not limited to whether you have SOLIDWORKS or other Dassault Systèmes products installed and the characteristics of the computer on which you will operate the Offering, such as the video controller or operating system. As a condition of downloading and using the Offering, you also agree to the terms of the DS privacy policy as indicated in the table set forth in Section 1, which policy may be updated from time to time without notice. Information collected by DS in connection with your registration for the Offering may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which DS, its Affiliates or its agents maintain facilities. Accordingly, by using the Offering, you consent to the transfer of such information outside of your country.
6. Term. This Agreement remains in effect until terminated as provided hereunder or upon expiration, as follows: (i) for Offerings provided under term licenses granted in accordance with this Agreement, until the expiration of all such licenses, or (ii) for Online Services, the expiration of the contract term for which Online Services are ordered under this Agreement or the expiration of the subscription that you have paid for the Offering, as the case may be. DS may terminate the license and/or Offering granted herein immediately upon written notice to you (i) for justified cause, including, without limitation, breach of any provision of Section 1, 2 or 3 of this Agreement, or (ii) if you breach any provision of this Agreement and fail to cure such breach within fifteen (15) days of notice thereof.
You may terminate Online Services if DS fails to provide the Online Services in accordance with the applicable Service Level Agreement and such failure has not been remedied within thirty (30) days of DS's receipt of written notice thereof. Otherwise, you or DS may terminate any Online Services by providing notice to the other party at least thirty (30) days prior to the renewal date of the Online Services. Absent such notification, the Online Services shall automatically renew and be subject to the then-applicable Service Level Agreement. DS may change or modify the Online Services at any time. DS will not materially diminish the Online Services during the term of the Offering. Nothing in this paragraph shall require DS to continue to provide any portion of the Online Services if this would result in DS's violating the rights of any third party or any applicable law.
Upon the termination of the right to access and use the Offering granted hereunder, you will promptly cease all such use and return to DS or destroy all copies of the Offering and Documentation covered by such right as instructed by DS and shall no longer have access to the Online Services and to subscription service. If you terminate Online Services for noncompliance by DS of the Service Level Agreement, DS will reimburse you for any prepaid but unused recurring fees as of the termination date. This refund represents DS's sole liability and your sole remedy for DS's failure to provide Online Services.
The provisions of Sections 1.E.b, 1.E.d, 1.E.e., 1.F, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of this Agreement and the Country Specific Terms for the People’s Republic of China (if applicable) shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
7. Responsibility for Selection and Use of Offering. You are responsible for the supervision, management and control of the use of Offering, and output of the Offering, including, but not limited to: (1) selection of the Offering to achieve your intended results; (2) determining the appropriate uses of the Offering and the output of the Offering in your business; (3) establishing adequate independent procedures for testing the accuracy of the Offering and any output; and (4) establishing adequate backup to prevent the loss of data in the event of an Offering malfunction. The Offering is a tool that is intended to be used only by trained professionals. It is not to be a substitute for professional judgment or independent testing of physical prototypes for product stress, safety and utility; you are solely responsible for any results obtained from using the Offering. Neither the Offering nor any of its components are intended for use in the design or operation of nuclear facilities, life support systems, aircraft or other activities in which the failure of the Offering or such components, or both, could lead to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage.

8. Limited Warranty, Exceptions & Disclaimers; Intellectual Property Indemnification
a. Limited Warranty. DS warrants that the Offerings will be free of defects in materials and will perform substantially in accordance with the Documentation for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of receipt by you. DS also warrants that any services it provides from time to time will be performed in a workmanlike manner in accordance with reasonable commercial practice. DS does not warrant that the Offering or service will meet your requirements or that the operation of the Offering will be uninterrupted or error-free or that any Internet tool or service will be completely secure. DS's entire liability and your sole remedy under this warranty shall be to use reasonable efforts to repair or replace the nonconforming media or Software or re-perform the service. If such effort fails, DS or DS's distributor or reseller shall (i) refund the price you paid for the Software upon return of the nonconforming Software and a copy of your receipt or the price you paid for the service, as appropriate, or (ii) provide such other remedy as may be required by law. Any replacement Software will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or thirty (30) days from the date of receipt by you, whichever is longer.
b. Exceptions. DS's limited warranty is void if breach of the warranty has resulted from (i) accident, corruption, misuse or neglect of the Software; (ii) acts or omissions by someone other than DS; (iii) combination of the Software with products, material or software not provided by DS or not intended for combination with the Software; or (iv) failure by you to incorporate and use all updates to the Software available from DS.
c. Limitations on Warranties. The express warranty set forth in this Section 8 is the only warranty given by DS with respect to the Offering and Documentation furnished hereunder and any service supplied from time to time; to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, DS and its licensors, including, without limitation, Adobe, make no other warranties, express, implied or arising by custom or trade usage, and specifically disclaim the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. In no event may you bring any claim, action or proceeding arising out of the warranty set forth in this Section 8 more than one year after the date on which the alleged breach of warranty occurred.
d. Limitations on Liability. You recognize that the price paid for the license to or right to access and use the Offering may be substantially disproportionate to the value of the products to be designed, stored, managed or distributed in conjunction with the Offering. For the express purpose of limiting the liability of DS and its licensors to an extent that is reasonably proportionate to the commercial value of this transaction, you agree to the following limitations on DS's and its licensors' liability. Except as required under local law, the liability of DS and its licensors, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with the Offering or Documentation furnished hereunder and any service supplied from time to time shall not exceed the fee that you paid for such Offering in the twelve (12)-month period immediately preceding the cause of action that gave rise to such liability. In no event shall DS or its licensors be liable for direct, special, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential damages (including, without limitation, damages resulting from loss of use, loss of data, loss of profits, loss of goodwill or loss of business) arising out of or in connection with the use of or inability to use the Offering or Documentation furnished hereunder and any service supplied from time to time, even if DS or its licensors have been advised of the possibility of such damages. However, certain of the above limitations may not apply in some jurisdictions. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any legal action against DS must be filed with the appropriate judicial jurisdiction within two (2) years after the applicable cause of action has arisen.
e. Intellectual Property Indemnification. DS will defend you against any claims made by a third party that an Offering delivered under this Agreement infringes a copyright in any country or a patent of the United States, Japan, or a member state of the European Patent Organization, and will pay all costs, damages and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) finally awarded against you by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed to in a written settlement agreement signed by DS arising out of such claim, provided (i) you provide DS with prompt written notice of the claim, and (ii) you give DS sole control of the defense of the claim and any related settlement discussions and provides reasonable cooperation in the defense and settlement of the claim.
If such a claim is made, or in DS's reasonable opinion an Offering is likely to become the subject of such a claim (or likely to be made), DS may at DS's expense, either secure the right for you to continue using the applicable Offering, modify it so that it is not infringing, or replace it with another program which is functionally equivalent. If none of the foregoing options is available on terms which are reasonable in DS's judgment, DS may terminate the licenses to the Offering and/or terminate the Online Services. For perpetual licenses, DS shall either refund or provide you a credit, at your option, in an amount equal to the corresponding one-time fee paid for the licenses, depreciated on a straight-line over three (3) years upon return or destruction of all copies of the affected Offering as certified by one of your officer. For Online Services or licenses that are not perpetual, DS shall refund all prepaid but unused fees paid hereunder for the affected Online Services or licenses.
DS shall have no obligation to defend or indemnify you against any claim related to (i) any modification of an Offering by anybody other than DS, (ii) the use of one or more Offerings in combination with other hardware, data or programs not specified by DS, or (iii) the use of corrective patches or Releases other than the most recent one.
This Section 8.e states DS's entire liability and your exclusive remedy for any claim of infringement of intellectual property rights.
9. Shutdown Feature. You acknowledge and agree that the Offering contains an automatic shutdown feature (the "Shutdown Feature") that, if activated, will render the Offering inoperable.

Export to you of the Offering and Documentation is subject to all applicable countries' export and re-export laws and regulations, including but not limited to the export control laws of the United States or the United Kingdom.

You shall not export or re-export, either directly or indirectly, the Offering when such export or re-export requires an export license or other governmental approval without first obtaining such license or approval.

DS shall have the right - at any time, at its own expense and under reasonable conditions of time and place - to audit and copy these records and/or your use of the Offering. You also hereby authorize DS to verify your compliance with the terms of this Agreement. For such purpose, DS may conduct an audit on your premises (or on the premises where the Offering is installed for your use) during normal business hours, in a manner that minimizes disruption to your business. DS may require you to provide it, or any third party that DS engages to conduct such verification, with machine access, copies of system tools outputs, or other electronic or hard-copy system information as appropriate and allow execution of all appropriate tools generating audit records. If the audit reveals unauthorized use of the Offering, you shall promptly pay to DS any amount(s) owed as a result of such unauthorized use at the Offering’s then-current list price. If such unauthorized use is five percent (5%) or greater of your authorized use with respect to the applicable Offering, then, in addition to you paying the applicable charges, you shall reimburse DS for the cost of such audit. By invoking the rights and procedures described above, DS does not waive its right to enforce this Agreement or to protect its intellectual property by any other means permitted by law.
