KRONOS/NAUTILUS Series Sound Library Software Licensing Agreement (EXs Expansion Sample Series)

THE FOLLOWING IS THE LICENSING AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU, THE END USER (REFERRED TO IN THIS AGREEMENT AS "YOU" OR "YOUR"), AND KORG INC.

(REFERRED TO IN THIS AGREEMENT AS "KORG") FOR YOUR USE OF THE KRONOS/NAUTILUS SERIES SOUND LIBRARY SOFTWARE (REFERRED TO IN THIS AGREEMENT AS "SOFTWARE") AND OUR SUPPORT SERVICES TO YOU. THE SOFTWARE IS LICENSED BY KORG TO YOU FOR USE ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS SET OUT HEREIN. BY PURCHASING OR OTHERWISE OBTAINING THE SOFTWARE LICENSE, YOU ARE AGREEING TO THE TERMS SET OUT IN THIS AGREEMENT. IT IS THEREFORE IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS LICENSING AGREEMENT WITH CARE BEFORE OBTAINING THE SOFTWARE LICENSE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS SET OUT IN THIS AGREEMENT, PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE THE SOFTWARE.

No Refund

Purchasing the Software License cannot be reversed. All Software is available for your evaluation as a demonstration version, fully functional but with regular audio interruptions. Some demonstration versions may be included with the system software; others may be separately installable. This allows you to test the Software and be sure that it performs as advertised and is suitable for your purposes, so that when you purchase the Software License you do so fully aware of the Software's operations. If you have not tested the Software in demo mode, you must test the Software first to be sure of your purchase. There are no refunds for this Software License once the purchase is made and the authorization code is issued to you, even if you have not entered the authorization code into the KRONOS/NAUTILUS series products.
Note also that, once the authorization code is entered, there is no de-authorization process.

Grant of License and Copyright

You are granted the right to use the Software solely pursuant to the terms set forth in this agreement. The ownership of the rights to and the copyright of the Software itself (whether supplied via a disk (CD-ROM), diskette, download via the internet or otherwise) and copyright in the contents of any manual or other written document belong to Korg or Korg’s development partners. You have, and acquire, no right, title or interest in the Software or the contents of any manual or other written document.

Restrictions and Transfer

The Licensed Program contains copyrighted information. For the purpose of protecting such copyrights, you may not decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, or otherwise reduce the Licensed Program to a human-perceivable form (save as may be permitted by law). You may not duplicate, alter, modify, rent, lease, resell, assign, loan, sub-license, distribute the whole or part of the Licensed Program, or make derivative works based on what is contained in the Licensed Program. The Licensed Program can, of course, be used for commercial or non-commercial music and audio productions, and such usage is not considered a derivative work as listed above.

The license granted to the end-user for the Sound Data is attached to the end-user’s account on the Korg online store, and is limited to use of the Sound Data on no more than three (3) Korg Products which the end-user owns or controls and which are registered to the user’s account, and as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the Korg online store Terms of Service. Note that the license for Sound Libraries which are factory-installed on a KRONOS/NAUTILUS series product is attached to the product, and not to the user account. These factory-installed Sound Libraries may only be authorized on the product on which they were originally installed.

It is not possible to cancel, remove, or revoke the authorization of the KRONOS/NAUTILUS series products once the authorization is completed. Therefore, if such an individual Korg Product is subsequently sold to a different user, the sold unit no longer counts towards the maximum of 3 Korg Products mentioned above, but the registration is not transferred to the new owner’s user account.

Limitations on Liability

Korg shall not be liable for errors contained in the Software. Korg will in no event be liable for any direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages whatsoever (including lost profits, lost data, or business interruption) related to any use of, or inability to use, the Software.

Product Warranty

Korg warrants that the Software when properly used will provide the facilities and functions described in the accompanying documentation, but does not warrant that the operation of the Software will be uninterrupted or error-free. This warranty shall however only apply to the latest version of the Software (provided that Korg has reasonably made such version available to you) and shall not apply to any previous version or versions of the Software.

Korg's obligation, and your exclusive remedy under the warranty mentioned above, is limited either:

(a) to Korg at its own expense using all reasonable endeavors to rectify any non-conformance with the warranty by repair (by way of a patch, work around, correction or otherwise) within a reasonable period of time or,

(b) to a refund of the License fee paid (if any) if in Korg's reasonable opinion it is unable to rectify such non-conformance within a reasonable timescale or at an economic cost, whereupon this agreement and the License created by this agreement shall terminate.

Support Services

Support services for the Software are provided according to the support service policies of Korg's distributors in the country where the applicable KRONOS/NAUTILUS series product is sold. Korg reserves the right to amend any such policies from time to time in its absolute discretion. If and when the Software or the KRONOS/NAUTILUS series product to which it relates is discontinued, the support services will be terminated after 12 months from such discontinuation.

Termination

Korg may terminate your License upon notice for failure to comply with any of these License Terms. Upon termination, you must immediately terminate your use of the Software.
