These terms and conditions should be read carefully as they create important legal rights and obligations.
1. UniQuest grants a non-exclusive licence to the Licensee to install one copy of the object code version of the Software on a single computer for use by the Licensee only for the Permitted Purpose. “Permitted Purpose” means the use of the Software by an individual student or academic staff member for academic and scholarly research and teaching purposes only.

3. The Licensee must not use or modify the software, other than as specifically permitted by this Agreement. Except to the extent permitted by this Agreement, the Licensee must not make copies of the Software or any documentation provided with the Software for third parties, nor permit others to do so. The Licensee must not rent, lease or hire out the Software. The Licensee must not decompile or disassemble the Software. The Licensee must not alter or amend the Software in any way without UniQuest’s prior written consent. This licence is personal to the Licensee and the Licensee must not transfer or assign this licence or grant any sub-licences.
4. The fee for the licence to use the Software is the fee displayed as part of the sign-up/download process. This licence is conditional upon the fee being paid including any applicable goods and services tax within 30 days of the date of acceptance of these terms and conditions. If the Licensee accepts these terms and conditions, the Licensee will be asked to pay the fee.
5. Following payment of the fee, UniQuest will email the Licensee with a product key bundled with the installer for the Software. The Licensee may only install the Software on a single computer. The Licensee must takes all necessary precautions to protect and keep strictly confidential the product key and to ensure that the Licensee is the only person accessing the Software using the product key. The Licensee must immediately notify UniQuest if it becomes aware of, or suspects that there has been, any unauthorised use of the product key.

6. The Licensee acknowledges that the intellectual property rights in the Software, including copyright, vests with the University of Queensland.
7. If the Licensee is in breach of any term of this Agreement and does not rectify the breach within 7 days of UniQuest notifying the Licensee of the breach, UniQuest may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the Licensee. If the Licensee is in breach of any obligation contained in this Agreement and that breach is incapable of being remedied, UniQuest may terminate this Agreement immediately by written notice to the Licensee. If UniQuest terminates this Agreement, the Licensee must return to UniQuest all copies of the software, and delete all electronic copies of the Software.
8. UniQuest is not obliged to provide any installation, training, updates or support for the Software.
9. To the full extent permitted by law, except as otherwise expressly set out in this Agreement, UniQuest makes no warranties in relation to the Software. The Licensee acknowledges that it accesses the Software and uses the Software at its own risk. The Licensee acknowledges that UniQuest has not made and does not make any warranty or representation whatsoever as (a) to any attributes or characteristics of the software; (b) whether the Software will perform (i) any purpose or use or any particular purpose or particular use; or (ii) any particular functionality; and (c) whether or not the Software (i) will be error free; (ii) will be free of viruses; or (iii) will be useable without interruption, and in all such respects, the Licensee warrants that in entering into this Agreement it relies upon its own due diligence, skill and judgement.
10. The Licensee indemnifies and shall continue to indemnify the University of Queensland (the owner of the Software), UniQuest (the authorised licensee of the Software), their officers, employees, sub-contractors and agents (“Those Indemnified”) from and against all actions, claims, proceedings or demands (including those brought by third parties) and all loss, death, injury, illness or damage (whether personal or property, and whether special, direct, indirect or consequential, including consequential financial loss, loss of profits, damage to reputation or goodwill, business interruption, loss of data and loss of opportunity, and any liability to pay legal costs and expenses on a solicitor/own client basis) which may be brought against or suffered by Those Indemnified, whether on their own or jointly, arising out of or in connection with the Licensee’s use of the Software or breach of this Agreement. The obligation to indemnify Those Indemnified is a continuing obligation separate and independent of other obligations, and shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
11. All implied conditions, warranties and representations whether arising under statute or by implication of law, custom or usage with respect to the Software, to the full extent permitted by law shall not apply.
12. To the full extent permitted by law, in no event will UniQuest be liable to the Licensee for any special, incidental or indirect damages, economic consequential damages, loss of profits, loss of business, loss of revenue, loss of goodwill or loss of anticipated savings. Subject to clause 13, UniQuest’s entire liability under this Agreement, regardless of the basis on which the other party is entitled to claim damages (including fundamental breach, breach of warranty, negligence, misrepresentation or other contract or tort claim), will be limited in the aggregate for all claims and causes of action to actual direct damages not exceeding an amount equal to the fee paid pursuant to this Agreement. If practicable, and at UniQuest’s election, UniQuest may elect to modify the Software or obtain a license from a third party to permit continued usage by the Licensee, rather than paying to the Licensee its actual direct damages limited pursuant to this clause.
13. Where legislation implies in this Agreement any condition or warranty, and that legislation prohibits in a contract excluding or modifying the application of or exercise of or liability under such condition or warranty, the condition or warranty shall be deemed to be included in this Agreement. The liability of UniQuest for any breach of any such condition or warranty shall be limited to the replacement of the Software or as otherwise permitted in the legislation.
14. The Licensee must attribute the University of Queensland as the owner of the Software. The Licensee must retain upon the Software all notices that call attention to the University of Queensland’s ownership of copyright subsisting in the Software and must not delete, alter or obliterate any such notice. The Licensee must ensure that copies of the Software made by the Licensee bear the same copyright notice.
15. The relationship between the parties is that of licensor and licensee. Neither party may, without the prior written consent of the other, act as or represent that it is the agent or representative of the other.
16. The parties acknowledge that solely in relation to the subject matter of this Agreement the whole of the agreement between the parties is contained in this Agreement. This licence will be governed by the laws of Queensland. No variation to this Agreement shall be binding upon the parties unless that variation is in writing, and is signed by all the parties to this Agreement. UniQuest may assign this Agreement without the need to obtain the Licensee’s prior written consent.
17. If it is held by a court that:
(a) any part of this Agreement is or would be void, voidable, illegal or unenforceable; or
(b) the application of any part of this Agreement to any person or circumstances shall be or become invalid or unenforceable,
unless any part of this Agreement were severed from this Agreement, that part shall be severable and shall not affect the continued operation of the remaining terms of this Agreement.
