1) GRANT OF LICENSE AND FEES

DATA FILES are protected by intellectual property laws and treaties and are licensed on a per user basis, not sold. DATA FILES also include any updates, add-on components, web services and/or supplements that PROVISTAS may provide or make available after the date the initial copy of the DATA FILES was received to the extent that such items are not accompanied by a separate license agreement or terms of use. You ensure that anyone with authorized access to the DATA FILES will comply with the provisions of this contract.

Having paid the appropriate licensing fees for DATA FILES, You may install and use one copy of DATA FILES on a single computer. You can share a copy of the DATA FILES installed on a common build/test machine provided that You or Your entity has purchased a single license for that common build/test machine and each developer using it has a license. A license for DATA FILES may not be shared.

If you have acquired DATA FILES in multi-user licensing contract, that contract supercedes this EULA. Please refer to your contract for your terms.

You may make one copy of the DATA FILES for back up or archival purposes. All notices of proprietary rights, including trademark and copyright notices, must appear on all permitted back up or archival copies made.

This license specifically excludes distribution of DATA FILES by any third party, including but not limited to distribution by resellers and any right to translate or modify DATA FILES in any way.
