Subject to the terms of this Agreement, CKSource hereby grants You, in one of the License Models described in Section 4, a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty free, worldwide license (“License”) to use, reproduce, modify, and distribute a Software Release in a collective work assembled with the Product.
You should carefully read the following terms and conditions before using, installing, copying, or distributing the Software. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by CKSource, your use, installation, copying, or distribution of the Software indicates your acceptance of this License.
All rights of any kind to the Software, which are not expressly granted in this Agreement, are entirely and exclusively reserved to and by CKSource. The Software is protected by applicable national and international laws and treaties.
You may use, install, copy, and distribute the Software solely as provided in this Agreement. You may not rent, lease, loan, sublicense, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or create derivative works based on the Software, in whole or in part, nor permit anyone else to do so.
It is agreed that in exchange for the license set forth herein, you will pay a license fee (“License Fee”). The fee value will be specified by CKSource at the moment of the purchase.
The Software may be assembled with the Product and redistributed in respect of one, and only one, of the following models (“License Models”) of Your choice:
A valid Developer license is required for every single Developer Person. Developer licenses cannot be shared among different Developer Persons. Non-Development Activities on Production Websites do not require Developer licenses.
License Fee values may differ depending on the license model.
If You did not pay License Fee, You may use unlicensed copies of CKFinder for the exclusive purpose of demonstration. In this case You will be using CKFinder in "demo mode". Without derogating from the forgoing, You may not use CKFinder in "demo mode" for commercial purposes. CKFinder shall only be used for evaluation purposes and may not be used or disclosed for any other purposes, including, without limitation, for external distribution. You may not remove the demo notices from the interface nor disable the ability to display such notices or otherwise modify CKFinder. Product support, if any, is not offered for CKFinder in "demo mode".
This Agreement is automatically accepted by both parties as long as You are in possession of legal evidence (“Legal Evidence”) that the acceptance has taken place. The Legal Evidence can be represented by (i) a copy of this Agreement signed by You and CKSource or (ii) a valid Certificate of License Ownership, provided by CKSource and addressed to You. The Legal Evidence must precisely indicate this Agreement Name, the Software Name, the License Model You have chosen, and the following restrictive information, if applicable:
Legal Evidences for different combinations of License Models, Sites, and Products will not restrict each other and will not interfere in the rights granted to You by each of them.
Legal Evidences are not transferable to different Sites and Products.
This agreement is valid for all Releases of the Software with Release Dates within or before the 365 days that follow the Effective Date (“Upgrade Period”). CKSource has no obligation to provide you any Release that is not released for general distribution to other CKSource licensees. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to obligate CKSource to provide additional Releases to You under any circumstances.
CKSource shall provide support for Developers covered by valid Developer licenses for the period of 365 days following the Effective Date (“Support Period”). Support shall be limited to electronic messaging access. CKSource shall keep You informed, either per CKSource readiness or by following your request, including changes to it, about the rules and procedures that You must perform to enjoy support under the terms of this Agreement. Support topics shall be limited to the following (each a “Support Request”):
The number of Support Requests that CKSource is entitled to accept from You is limited to 2 per month if You have chosen the Basic license model, or 5 per month if You have chosen the Professional license model. CKSource may refuse Support Requests that exceed these limits.
CKSource is not in any way obliged to perform bug fixing or custom development activities as a result of a Support Request.
Following a valid License purchase, a unique license key (the "License Key") may be provided to You, which allows Software activation. The License Key is subject to the restrictions set forth in this License and may not be disclosed or distributed in any way. The disclosure or distribution of the License Key shall constitute a breach of this License, the effect of which shall be the automatic termination and revocation of any and all rights granted herein.
The original source code ("Source Code") of the Software may be distributed by CKSource alongside its executable version, or as an integral part of it. You may modify and compile the Source Code. The Source Code or its modified version can be copied and distributed exclusively within the scope of this license, as defined in the "License Model" terms of this license, as long as a valid license has been purchased for the distribution target. CKSource retains all rights over the Source Code and all its modified versions. Redistributions of the Source Code and modified versions of it must contain the original headers and copyright notices. Modifications to the Source Code must be explicitly and entirely identified in the Source Code files. This section of the license supersedes all modification restrictions imposed by other sections. You are not allowed to remove copyright notices nor make changes to the license validation code present in the Source Code.
In consideration for the License granted in this Agreement during the term of this Agreement, You agreed to pay to CKSource a one time fee (“License Fee”).
In consideration for the Software upgrades access and support services provided during the Upgrade Period and Support Period, You shall pay a yearly fee (“Annual Support and Upgrade Fee”).
The License Fee and the Annual Support and Upgrade Fee amount shall be specified by CKSource at the moment of the purchase as a single unified price.
The fees listed in this Agreement do not include taxes. If CKSource is required to pay any sales, use, property, excise, value added, gross receipts, withholding or other taxes levied on the Software or support under this Agreement or on Your use thereof, then such taxes shall be billed to and paid by You. This Section does not apply to taxes based on CKSource net income, franchise taxes or CKSource’s employer contributions and taxes.
You understand that CKSource uses third-party paying agents to process selected payments. You understand that until payments are not received and verified by the paying agent, this Agreement is not valid.
All payments made hereunder are nonrefundable. You may not withhold or set off any amounts due under this Agreement. Failure to pay any fee when due shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. In addition, if You fail to make any payments when due for support, upon written notice to You, CKSource shall cease providing support.
You may opt to automatically extend the expiration date for both the Upgrade Period and Support Period by successive cycles of 365 days (each one a “Renewal”). In such case, you agree to pay a fee for each Renewal at the beginning of each cycle. The annual Renewal fee shall be informed by CKSource at the moment of the purchase and optionally agreed by you.
If you opted to have automatic Renewals, CKSource shall send you a payment request for the Renewal fee at any moment following the first day of each Renewal period. You shall perform the full payment in 30 calendar days following the payment request.
Both parties can discontinue the automatic Renewals by written notification to the other party before the beginning of extension cycles.
CKSource reserves all rights not expressly granted to You in this Agreement. The Software is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws and treaties. CKSource owns the title, copyright, and other intellectual property rights in the Software. The Software is licensed, not sold. This Agreement does not grant you any rights to the Software's trademarks or services.
Without prejudice to any other rights, this Agreement automatically terminates if You fail to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You may terminate this Agreement at any time without cause. In case of termination, in any circumstance, payments issued by You will not be reimbursed.
You shall immediately discontinue distribution of Product, assembled with the Software, upon expiration or termination of this Agreement.
CKSource warrants that it has full title and ownership to the Software and has the authority to grant the license hereunder. To the best of CKSource's knowledge the Software does not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of any third party and that CKSource did not receive any notice regarding any alleged infringement thereof.
With the exclusion of warranties explicitly mentioned in Section 15, the Software and its related material are provided “AS IS” and without warranty of any kind. CKSource expressly disclaims all other warranties, expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL CKSOURCE BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS OR CONFIDENTIAL OR OTHER INFORMATION, FOR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, FOR PERSONAL INJURY, FOR LOSS OF PRIVACY, FOR FAILURE TO MEET ANY DUTY INCLUDING OF GOOD FAITH OR OF REASONABLE CARE, FOR NEGLIGENCE, AND FOR ANY OTHER PECUNIARY OR OTHER LOSS WHATSOEVER) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, THE PROVISION OF OR FAILURE TO PROVIDE SUPPORT OR OTHER SERVICES, INFORMATON, SOFTWARE, AND RELATED CONTENT THROUGH THE SOFTWARE OR OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF THE SOFTWARE, OR OTHERWISE UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IN THE EVENT OF THE FAULT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), MISREPRESENTATION, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, AND EVEN IF THE OWNER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
In no event shall CKSource’s liability exceed the license fee paid, if any.
