Terms and Conditions

WordWizard Software Licence Agreement

Terminology: “Software” relates to the WordWizard program and its support files plus the CereProc Text-to-Speech Utilities and support files. “Licensee” relates to the individual on whose behalf the Software is purchased and it is this person to whom these Terms & Conditions apply. The “Company” is Words Worldwide Limited of Hexham, Northumberland.

Before using the Software, the Licensee should carefully read the following terms and conditions. Downloading and installing the Software and the support files indicates acceptance of the terms of this licence agreement.

Words Worldwide Limited provides this Software and licenses its use to the Licensee.

The Company retains ownership of all Proprietary Software and the data support files therein.

The Company certifies that the Software and documentation provided herein have been developed exclusively at the Company’s expense and the WordWizard product remains the exclusive property of the Company, also that the CereProc products remain the exclusive property of CereProc Limited.

The Licensee acknowledges that the unauthorised copying or use of the Programs or documentation received from the Company will cause Material Damage to the Company and also to CereProc Limited.

The Licensee assumes responsibility for the selection of the WordWizard program to achieve the intended results and for the installation, use and results obtained from the software.

It is understood by both parties to this Agreement that the search technique used in spelling checking is a statistical process and the user must accept that alternatives supplied by the program are not necessarily exclusive even within the design constraints of the program. The Licencee must understand that such limitations are inevitable and recognise that no computer software can be a panacea to cater for difficulties experienced in producing acceptable text.

The programs and any documentation are provided on the basis of meeting the current specification of the product with any stated limitations or reservations as currently defined. The Company disclaims all warranties, whether express or implied, written or oral, with respect to the programs and any documentation, including all warranties of title and implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

Limitation

The Company’s Liability for damages to the licensee for any cause whatsoever, regardless of the form of any claim or action, shall not exceed the total licence fee paid by the Licensee for the licence to use the programs under this Agreement. The Company shall in no event be liable for any damages resulting from loss of data, profits or use of equipment, or for any special, incidental or consequential damages arising out of or in connection with the use or performance of the programs.

The Licence

This licence permits the Licensee and its employees who agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement to:

Use the Software on a single machine. (The Software is considered to be “used” when loaded into temporary memory or installed into permanent memory.)
Copy the Software in machine-readable form for backup purposes only or as is permitted under applicable law.

Exclusions:

The Software shall not be installed on a network server so that other computers can use the Software. The number of authorised users of the Software shall not at any time exceed the number of applicable licences purchased.

The Licensee or any agent appointed by them agrees not to disassemble or reverse engineer the software or any portion thereof and must not use, copy or modify the programs in whole or in part for any purpose other than for which it was intended by the Company.

If the Licensee transfers possession of any copy, modification or merged portion of the software or documentation to another party, the Licence is automatically terminated. Any attempt to disassemble the object code of the software is unauthorised and thus illegal and will result in immediate termination of the licence agreement from the instant at which such violation of the Agreement occurs.

The term of the licence

The licence is effective until terminated. Termination will occur automatically upon the expiration of any time limit applied on acquisition of the Software. It will also be deemed to have expired if any of the terms and conditions defined above are breached by the Customer. You may unilaterally terminate the licence at any time by destroying the software and all support files and documentation.

You agree upon such termination to destroy the programs together with all copies of the program, any supporting files made for security purposes and all documentation.

Technical Support:

The Company or its appointed agent will supply a first response within 48 hours in any period of two working days to any email from a Customer advising of a suspected fault with the Software. A “fault” in the Software is defined as any situation where the Software causes an apparent processing lock-up of the host computer or a specifically-defined error message.

The response shall not address any request for advice on installation or the detailed operation of the Software. Responses to these matters will be made at the Company’s discretion and will, under normal circumstances, be within five working days.

Unless the Licensee is advised otherwise, no telephone support will be provided and all communication will be by email.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction:

This Site License Agreement shall be governed by the laws of England and Wales and without the parties submitting to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
