These terms apply to
"The History Professor"

BY INSTALLING OR USING "THE HISTORY PROFESSOR" (THE "PRODUCT"), THE INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY LICENSING THE PRODUCT ("LICENSEE") IS CONSENTING TO BE BOUND BY AND IS BECOMING A PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT. IF LICENSEE DOES NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, LICENSEE MUST NOT INSTALL OR USE THE SOFTWARE.

1. LICENSE AGREEMENT. As used in this Agreement, CLS or CLSI shall mean Concord Learning Systems, Inc., of Concord, NC, 28025 USA. THP shall mean "The History Professor." PRODUCT or THE PRODUCT shall mean "The History Professor." In this Agreement "Licensor" shall mean Concord Learning Systems, CLS and CLSI except under the following circumstances: (i) if Licensee acquired the Product as a bundled component of a third party product or service, then such third party shall be Licensor; and (ii) if any third party software is included as part of the default installation and no license is presented for acceptance the first time that third party software is invoked, then the use of that third party software shall be governed by this Agreement, but the term "Licensor," with respect to such third party software, shall mean the manufacturer of that software and not CLSI. With the exception of the situation described in (ii) above, the use of any included third party software product shall be governed by the third party's license agreement and not by this Agreement, whether that license agreement is presented for acceptance the first time that the third party software is invoked, is included in a file in electronic form, or is included in the package in printed form. If more than one license agreement was provided for the Product, and the terms vary, the order of precedence of those license agreements is as follows: a signed agreement, a license agreement available for review on the CLSI website, a printed or electronic agreement that states clearly that it supersedes other agreements, a printed agreement provided with the Product, an electronic agreement provided with the Product.

2. LICENSE GRANT. Licensor grants Licensee a non-exclusive and non-transferable license to use for personal or internal business purposes the executable code, electronic digital text and electronic digital images of the Product, as conveyed on a single COMPACT DISK (CD) or by download from an Internet website provided any copy must contain all of the original proprietary notices. Each license is for use on one computer at a time only. Each additional use requires a separate License. Multiple-use Licenses (MUL) may be obtained from CLSI under a separate agreement. A License does not entitle Licensee to receive from CLSI hard-copy documentation, technical support, telephone assistance, or enhancements or updates to the Product. Licensee may not customize the Product. Licensee may not redistribute the Product or any part thereof unless Licensee has separately entered into a distribution or other agreement with CLSI.

3. RESTRICTIONS. Except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement, or in another CLSI agreement to which Licensee is a party such as a distribution agreement, Licensee may not: (i) modify or create any derivative works of the Product or documentation, including translation or localization; (ii) decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, source text, or source images of the Product (except to the extent applicable laws specifically prohibit such restriction); (iii) redistribute, encumber, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or otherwise transfer rights to the Product or any part of the Product; (iv) COPY OR DUPLICATE THE PRODUCT OR ANY PART OF THE PRODUCT EXCEPT AS MAY BE NECESSARY IN THE NORMAL OPERATION OF THE COMPUTER USED TO VIEW THE CONTENTS OF THE PRODUCT; (v) remove or alter any trademark, logo, copyright or other proprietary notices, legends, symbols or labels in the Product; or (vi) publish any compiled results of evaluations conducted by CLSI or its agents on the Product to a third party without CLSI's prior written consent.

3a. EXCEPTION TO RESTRICTIONS. Licensee may, in the normal course of activity directly associated with an accredited educational institution, and when the Product is used for educational purposes, make hard (paper, photo slides, or celluloid-like) copies for school use or hand-out with students and other faculty, including exchanges between teachers, students and other educational institutions.

4. FEES. There is a license fee for the Product which grants Licensee the right to use the Product on a single computer only. If Licensee wishes to use the Product on more than one computer at a time, a separate License for each computer must be purchased, or Licensee may obtain a separate MUL Agreement. If Licensee wishes to receive the Product on media, there may be a small charge for the media and for shipping and handling. Licensee is responsible for any and all taxes.

5. TERMINATION. Without prejudice to any other rights, Licensor may terminate this Agreement if Licensee breaches any of its terms and conditions. Upon termination, Licensee shall destroy all copies of the Product.

6. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. Title, ownership rights, and intellectual property rights in the Product shall remain in CLSI and/or its suppliers. Licensee acknowledges such ownership and intellectual property rights and will not take any action to jeopardize, limit or interfere in any manner with CLSI's or its suppliers' ownership of or rights with respect to the Product. The Product is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws and by international treaties. Title and related rights in the content accessed through the Product is the property of the applicable content owner and is protected by applicable law. The license granted under this Agreement gives Licensee no rights to such content.

7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. THE PRODUCT IS PROVIDED FOR A FEE, AND, ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE WARRANTIES THAT IT IS FREE OF DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCT IS BORNE BY LICENSEE. BECAUSE OF THE VARIOUS HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE ENVIRONMENTS INTO WHICH THIS PRODUCT MAY BE USED, NO WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE IS OFFERED. GOOD DATA PROCESSING PROCEDURE DICTATES THAT ANY PROGRAM PRODUCT BE THOROUGHLY TESTED WITH NON-CRITICAL DATA BEFORE RELYING ON IT. THE LICENSEE ASSUMES THE ENTIRE RISK OF USING THE PRODUCT. ANY LIABILITY OF THE LICENSOR WILL BE LIMITED EXCLUSIVELY TO PRODUCT REPLACEMENT OR REFUND OF THE AGGREGATE SUM OF THE FEES LICENSEE PAID FOR THIS LICENSE. IN ADDITION, IF SECURITY MECHANISMS ARE IMPLEMENTED WITH THE PRODUCT THERE MAY BE INHERENT LIMITATIONS, AND LICENSEE MUST DETERMINE THAT THE PRODUCT SUFFICIENTLY MEETS ITS REQUIREMENTS. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT. NO USE OF THE PRODUCT IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.

8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR OR ITS SUPPLIERS OR RESELLERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF, AND REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY (CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) UPON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED. IN ANY CASE, LICENSOR'S ENTIRE LIABILITY UNDER ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED IN THE AGGREGATE THE SUM OF THE FEES LICENSEE PAID FOR THIS LICENSE (IF ANY) AND FEES FOR SUPPORT OF THE PRODUCT RECEIVED BY CLSI UNDER A SEPARATE SUPPORT AGREEMENT (IF ANY), WITH THE EXCEPTION OF DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF LICENSOR TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS THE LIMITATION OF DAMAGES IN SUCH CASES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT BE APPLICABLE. CLSI IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF CONTENT PROVIDED BY LICENSEE OR A THIRD PARTY THAT IS ACCESSED THROUGH THE PRODUCT AND/OR ANY MATERIAL LINKED THROUGH SUCH CONTENT.

9. ENCRYPTION. If Licensee wishes to use cryptographic features with the Product, then Licensee may need to obtain and install a signed digital certificate from a certificate authority or a certificate server. Licensee may be charged additional fees for certification services. Licensee is responsible for maintaining the security of the environment in which the Product is used and the integrity of the encryption file used with the Product. In addition, the use of digital certificates is subject to the terms specified by the certificate provider, and there are inherent limitations in the capabilities of digital certificates. If Licensee is sending or receiving digital certificates, Licensee is responsible for familiarizing itself with and evaluating such terms and limitations. If the Product is a version with FORTEZZA, Licensee will need to obtain PC Card Readers and FORTEZZA Crypto Cards from another vendor to enable the FORTEZZA features.

10. EXPORT CONTROL. Licensee agrees to comply with all export laws and restrictions and regulations of the United States or foreign agencies or authorities, and not to export or re-export the Product or any direct product thereof in violation of any such restrictions, laws or regulations, or without all necessary approvals. As applicable, each party shall obtain and bear all expenses relating to any necessary licenses and/or exemptions with respect to its own export of the Product from the U.S. Neither the Product nor the underlying information or technology may be downloaded or otherwise exported or re-exported (i) into Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Sudan, Syria or any other country subject to U.S. trade sanctions covering the Product, to individuals or entities controlled by such countries, or to nationals or residents of such countries other than nationals who are lawfully admitted permanent residents of countries not subject to such sanctions; or (ii) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department's list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons or the U.S. Commerce Department's Table of Denial Orders.

BY DOWNLOADING OR USING THE PRODUCT, LICENSEE AGREES TO THE FOREGOING AND WARRANTS THAT IT IS NOT A "FOREIGN PERSON" OR UNDER THE CONTROL OF A "FOREIGN PERSON."

11. HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES. The Product is not fault-tolerant and is not designed, manufactured or intended for use or resale as on-line control equipment in hazardous environments requiring fail-safe performance, such as in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication systems, air traffic control, direct life support machines, or weapons systems, in which the failure of the Product could lead directly to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage ("High Risk Activities").
