Zentera Systems, Inc.
END USER SOFTWARE LICENSE AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT
Last Revised: February 9, 2022
This is an agreement between you and Zentera Systems, Inc. (“Zentera”) and applies to your use of Zentera software products (“Software”) made available to you by Zentera, whether directly or through a third party such as a Zentera reseller or distributor (“Zentera Distributor”). This Agreement also applies to any technical support and maintenance services for the Software that are provided by Zentera directly to you (“Support Services”). However, this Agreement does not apply to support or maintenance provided by a Zentera Distributor or other third party. By downloading, installing or using the Software or clicking to agree, you confirm and agree that (a) you have read and completely understand this Agreement and (b) you agree to be legally bound by all of the terms and conditions in this Agreement. The terms of the license granted in this Agreement will also govern any Zentera upgrades and updates that replace and/or supplement the original Software, unless such upgrade is accompanied by a separate license agreement, in which case the terms of that agreement will govern.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY OF THE TERMS OR CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MAY NOT INSTALL OR OTHERWISE USE THE SOFTWARE.
If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a company (or other entity) or if you are accessing the Software or receiving Support Services in your capacity as an employee, consultant or agent of a company (or other entity), you represent that you are an employee, consultant or agent of such company (or other entity) and you have the authority to agree (and be legally bound) on behalf of such company (or other entity) to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND, IF APPLICABLE, SUCH COMPANY (OR OTHER ENTITY) CONSTITUTES “YOU”.
For clarity, this Agreement is not intended to amend, replace or supersede any separate written agreement that you may have entered into directly with Zentera granting you a license to use the Software (a “Software License Agreement”) or allowing you to distribute the Software (a “Distribution Agreement”). In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and such Software License Agreement or Distribution Agreement, the terms of such Software License Agreement or Distribution Agreement will control. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement entirely replaces and supersedes all prior agreements with Zentera regarding your Software and Support Services.
