1. LICENSE

1.1          License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and LICENSEE’s payment of the applicable license fees, Synaptic Science hereby grants LICENSEE a limited, non-exclusive, internal-use-only, non-transferable, non-assignable, non-sublicensable license to install and use the SOFTWARE, in object code form only, solely (i) during the term identified on the PURCHASE ORDER or, in the case of EVALUATION LICENSES, for such term as Synaptic Science has granted (subject to earlier termination pursuant to this Agreement, the “TERM”), (ii) as installed at the geographical site(s) identified on the PURCHASE ORDER, and/or (iii) for the number of users and/or jobs specified on the PURCHASE ORDER or, in the case of EVALUATION LICENSES, for such number of users and/or jobs as Synaptic Science has granted.  Synaptic Science reserves all rights not expressly granted herein.

1.2          Password.  LICENSEE will be assigned a password (“Password”) so that Licensee can access and use certain protected areas of Synaptic Science’s website (“Protected Areas”) and all information contained therein (“Protected Information”).  LICENSEE is solely responsible for protecting the security and confidentiality of the Password.  Licensee shall immediately notify Synaptic Science of any unauthorized use of the Password, or any other breach or threatened breach of the Protected Area’s security.  The Password shall expire upon the expiration of the TERM of the license grant for the SOFTWARE.

1.3          Restrictions.  LICENSEE may make copies of the SOFTWARE only as necessary for bona fide backup or archival purposes.  LICENSEE shall not: (i) modify, translate, adapt, create derivative works from or decompile the SOFTWARE, or any portion thereof, or create or attempt to create, by reverse engineering or otherwise, the source code from the object code supplied hereunder, (ii) rent, lease, loan, sell, transfer, publish, display, distribute, disclose or make the SOFTWARE available to third parties or use the SOFTWARE, or any portion thereof, in a service bureau, time-sharing or outsourcing service or otherwise use the SOFTWARE for the benefit of third parties, (iii) remove or alter any proprietary rights notices on the SOFTWARE or (iv) disclose, without Schrödinger’s prior written approval, the SOFTWARE or any code, information or materials contained in or related to the SOFTWARE, license keys, analysis or performance information, results of SOFTWARE performance benchmarks or documentation to any entity (except to LICENSEE’s employees having a need to know for purposes of authorized use hereunder and who are informed in writing of the obligations of this section) or use any of the foregoing other than as expressly authorized hereunder.  LICENSEE shall notify Schrödinger immediately of any actual or imminent unauthorized access to, or use or disclosure of, any of the foregoing.  LICENSEE recognizes that the unauthorized use or disclosure of any of the foregoing will give rise to irreparable injury to Schrödinger or its licensors or affiliates for which monetary damages may be an inadequate remedy; and LICENSEE agrees that Schrödinger or its licensors or affiliates may seek and obtain injunctive relief against the breach or threatened breach of LICENSEE’s obligations hereunder, in addition to any other legal and equitable remedies which may be available.  

1.4          Export Controls.    The SOFTWARE, and the source code and technology related thereto, are subject to the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”), U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”).  LICENSEE represents and warrants that LICENSEE is not a national or resident of any country subject to U.S. export restrictions, including but not limited to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and Sudan.  LICENSEE agrees to comply with all applicable laws, rules or regulations and will not directly or indirectly sell, provide, transfer, export, reexport, divert, loan, lease, consign, release to a foreign national, or otherwise dispose of (x) the SOFTWARE, (y) any source code or technology related thereto and/or (z) any technical data used in connection with or generated by the SOFTWARE in violation of the EAR, U.S. sanctions laws administered by OFAC, ITAR regulations or any other applicable law, rule or regulation of any jurisdiction.

6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL SYNAPTIC SCIENCE OR ITS AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES FOR LOST BUSINESS OR PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA OR COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE OR THE PROVISION OF OR FAILURE TO PROVIDE MAINTENANCE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.  SYNAPTIC SCIENCE'S AND ITS AFFILIATES’ ENTIRE AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, FOR ANY REASON(S) AND UPON ANY CAUSE(S) OF ACTION WHATSOEVER, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE PRICE ACTUALLY PAID BY LICENSEE FOR THE USE OF THE SOFTWARE.  NO LICENSOR OF SYNAPTIC SCIENCE SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO LICENSEE FOR LOSS OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SOFTWARE.

7.  GENERAL

This Agreement and its enforcement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts-of-law principles.  The exclusive venue for any action relating to this Agreement shall be the state and federal courts situated in the State of New York, County of New York, and each party expressly consents to the jurisdiction of such courts.  Neither party shall be liable for failure to perform an obligation under this Agreement where such failure is due to fire, flood, labor dispute, natural calamity, acts of the government or other causes beyond its reasonable control.  The parties are independent contractors.  No agency, partnership or joint venture is created by this Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof.  This Agreement may not be modified or altered except by written instrument duly executed by both parties.  If any provision of this Agreement is deemed to be unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted to effect the parties' intentions hereunder, and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.  The failure of either party to exercise any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any right hereunder.  Any notices hereunder shall be in writing to the receiving party’s address set forth on the PURCHASE ORDER or, if no address is set forth on the PURCHASE ORDER, to the receiving party's headquarters as identified on its Web site.  Notices shall be deemed given (i) if by hand delivery, upon receipt thereof; (ii) if mailed, three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, postage prepaid, certified mail, return receipt requested; (iii) if by fax, upon receipt thereof as evidenced by fax confirmation; or (iv) if by next day delivery service, upon such delivery.  Either party may change its address by giving written notice to the other party.
