1. License Grant

Upon your payment of the full price and acceptance of this EULA, Vodia Networks Inc. ("VODIA") grants you (the "Customer" or "User") a non-exclusive and non-transferable license to use the Vodia PBX Software in binary or installed form on a device owned or leased by the Customer. VODIA may, at its discretion, make available software updates for the Vodia PBX product. Updates, if any, may not necessarily include all existing software features, be fully backward compatible or include all new features that VODIA releases for newer versions of Vodia PBX Software.

2. Scope

The Vodia PBX software, content, documentation and any other data accompanying this License whether in read only memory, on any other media or in any other form (collectively the "Software") are licensed, not sold, to you by VODIA for use only under the terms of this License. VODIA reserves all rights not expressly granted to you. The terms of this License will govern any software upgrades provided by VODIA that replace or supplement the original Software product, unless such upgrade is accompanied by a separate license in which case the terms of that license will govern. Title and intellectual property rights in and to any content displayed by or accessed through the Software belongs to the respective content owner. Such content may be protected by copyright or other intellectual property laws and treaties, and may be subject to terms of use of the third party providing such content. This License does not grant you any rights to use such content.

3. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions

3.1. Performance of the Software

The number of extensions, trunks, concurrent calls and other aspects of the software that can be used with the License are determined by the features that you have purchased for the Software. However, VODIA cannot and does not guarantee you that the performance of the underlying hardware or any other critical component will be sufficient to maintain the service. Also, VODIA cannot and does not guarantee that the Software will work flawlessly in every situation, including emergency situations. You are responsible for making the provisions to fulfill the requirements on emergency telephone calls on your own.

3.2. Evaluation Software License

VODIA grants you an "Evaluation License" for Vodia PBX Software, free of charge for non-commercial evaluation purposes only, and limited in its functionality (Vodia PBX free). VODIA shall in no event be liable to provide you product support or configuration assistance for the evaluation software. In the event that you are found to be using the Vodia PBX evaluation software for commercial purposes without prior consent from VODIA, you may be subject to prosecution and damages.

3.3. License Association With Server

Vodia PBX Licenses purchased from VODIA allow you to install and use a single copy of the Vodia PBX Software on the server for which the license has been granted. The license granted for one server will be bound to that server only and shall not be used on a different server. In order to allow continuation of service in the case that hardware fails, you may one (1) time move your Vodia PBX telephone system to a different server if the original server is not in operation any more. If you wish to maintain multiple Vodia PBX servers (for redundancy or backup purposes or for multiple services), you are required to purchase a separate license for each additional server.

3.4. Vodia PBX Software Hosting

You will not rent, lease, lend, sublicense, redistribute or otherwise allow third parties to use the Software directly or indirectly, whether on a time sharing, remote job entry, or service bureau arrangement or to provide commercial hosting services to third parties. If you intend to do so, you must enter a different license agreement with VODIA which is available upon request.

3.5. Not For Resale (NFR) License

VODIA may provide partners "Not For Resale Licenses" at no cost. These licenses are granted with the intention to provide partners the ability to demonstrate the product to potential customers; however the license may not be sold or otherwise transferred to any other party. The rules for the Evaluation Software License apply to the NFR License as well.

3.6. Data Usage

VODIA grants you the right to make copies of the Vodia PBX configuration and related data for backup and/or device provisioning purposes only; provided that the backup copy must include all copyright and/or other proprietary notices contained in the original. You may not copy (except as expressly permitted by this License), decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, attempt to derive the source code/license of, modify, or create derivative works of the Software or any part thereof (except as and only to the extent any foregoing restriction is prohibited by applicable law or to the extent as may be permitted by the licensing terms governing use of any open sourced components included with the Software). Any attempt to do so is a violation of the rights of VODIA and its licensors of the Software. If you breach this restriction, you may be subject to prosecution and damages.

3.7. White labeling

Some versions of the software make it possible to modify the appearance of the Vodia PBX. When such modifications are performed, the user of the Vodia PBX must be able to identify Vodia as the manufacturer of the Software.

VODIA may at its own digression provide new software from time to time at no cost in order to correct known issues or to enhance the feature set of the Software ("Software Updates"). VODIA may as well at its own digression provide new software as "Software Upgrade". Such Software Upgrades may not be free and have to be purchased separately. In this case, the Customer might have to enter a new license agreement with VODIA. Customers may enter a separate agreement with VODIA to get Software Upgrades at a predefined cost.
