3.    Licence

3.1   In consideration of, and subject to payment of, the charges payable under this agreement,
      MaidSafe grants the Customer a perpetual non-exclusive licence to use reproduce, sublicense,
      and distribute the Software in Source or Object form, in each case in accordance with this
      clause 3, for the duration of this agreement.  This right includes the right to use the
      Intellectual Property Rights in the Software, including patent rights, and the Customer
      acknowledges that its use of the Software or any similar software (or any modified version of
      the Software or any software that is based on or includes any part of the Software) other than
      in accordance with the terms of this agreement (including the payment of the charges when due)
      would infringe MaidSafe's Intellectual Property Rights, including patents rights, and in such
      cases MaidSafe may terminate this Agreement without prejudice to its rights to claim damages,
      account of profits and/or injunctive relief.

3.2   Customer may reproduce and distribute copies of the Software in any medium, with or without
      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that Customer meets the following
      conditions:

      (a)   Customer must ensure that any permitted user is required to enter into a written
            software licence and is not allowed to use the Software (including any modified version
            of the Software or any software that is based on or includes any part of the Software)
            in any manner that would not be permitted by this Licence;

      (b)   Customer must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices stating that Customer
            changed the files;

      (c)   Customer must retain, in the Source form of any copies of the Software (including any
            modified version of the Software or any software that is based on or includes any part
            of the Software) or any part thereof that Customer distributes, all copyright, patent,
            trademark, and attribution notices from the Source form of the Software; and

      (d)   if the Software includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its distribution, then any
            copies of the Software (including any modified version of the Software or any software
            that is based on or includes any part of the Software) or any part that Customer
            distributes must include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained within
            such NOTICE file in at least one of the following places:

            (i)   within a NOTICE text file distributed as part of the Software;

            (ii)  within the Source form or documentation, if provided along with the Software; or

            (iii) within a display generated by the Software, if and wherever such third-party
                  notices normally appear. The contents of the NOTICE file are for informational
                  purposes only and do not modify the Licence.

3.3   Except as expressly permitted otherwise by any term of this agreement, only the Customer is
      permitted to use the Software.  Use by the Customer includes use by the Customer’s employees
      and contractors provided that such use is solely on behalf of the Customer and for the
      purposes of the Customer's business.

3.4   The Customer may make such backup copies of the Software as are reasonably necessary to
      support the Customer's use of the Software in accordance with this agreement.  MaidSafe will
      own the Intellectual Property Rights in any such backup copies.

3.5   The Customer may reverse engineer or decompile the Software but only to the extent allowed
      under applicable law and on the basis that Customer will request interoperability information
      from MaidSafe.

3.6   The Customer will comply with any reasonable instructions which MaidSafe gives the Customer
      relating to the use of the Software (or any modified version of the Software or any software
      that is based on or includes any part of the Software).  The Customer will allow MaidSafe
      access to any premises controlled by the Customer in order to allow MaidSafe to check that the
      Software (or any modified version of the Software or any software that is based on or includes
      any part of the Software) is being used only as permitted.

3.7   This agreement does not grant permission to use the trade names, trademarks, service marks, or
      product names of the Licensor, except as required for reasonable and customary use in
      describing the origin of the Software and complying with this agreement.


4.    Limited warranty

4.1   MaidSafe warrants that it will perform its obligations under this agreement with reasonable
      care and skill.

4.2   If the warranty in clause 4.1 is breached, the Customer must tell MaidSafe as soon as
      possible.  The Customer must give MaidSafe a reasonable time to fix the problem or to
      re-perform any relevant services.  This will be done without any additional charge to the
      Customer.  If MaidSafe is able to do this within a reasonable time, MaidSafe will have no
      other obligations or liability in relation to that breach.  If MaidSafe is unable to do this
      within a reasonable time or MaidSafe does not think that it is a sensible way to deal with the
      problem, then MaidSafe may if it wishes elect to take back the Software and to refund to the
      Customer all of the money which the Customer has paid to MaidSafe under this agreement.  Where
      the problem relates to a portion of the Software and other elements supplied which are capable
      of use separately without material detriment to the Customer, MaidSafe may take back (and
      refund in respect of) affected portions only.

4.3   Apart from the terms set out in this agreement, no conditions, warranties or other terms apply
      to the Software or its supply or Licence under this agreement.  In particular, no implied
      conditions, warranties or other terms relating to satisfactory quality or fitness for any
      purpose will apply to anything supplied under this agreement.  MaidSafe does not warrant or
      enter into any terms to the effect that the Software:

      (a)   will perform any particular function or purpose; or

      (b)   be entirely free from defects or that its operation will be entirely error free.

4.4   MaidSafe will not be liable for breach of any of the warranties or any other terms in this
      agreement to the extent that the breach arises from:

      (a)   use of the Software other than in accordance with normal operating procedures or as
            otherwise notified to the Customer by MaidSafe;

      (b)   any alterations to the Software made by anyone other than MaidSafe or someone authorised
            by MaidSafe;

      (c)   any problem with the computer on which the Software is installed, any equipment
            connected to that computer or any other software which is installed on that computer;

      (d)   any abnormal or incorrect operating conditions; or

      (e)   use of the Software in combination with any other hardware or software, unless this use
            has been approved by MaidSafe in writing.


5.    Limitation of Liability 

5.1   Neither party's liability:

      (a)   for death or personal injury caused by its negligence or the negligence of its employees
            or agents;

      (b)   for breach of clause 7 (Confidentiality); or

      (c)   for fraudulent misrepresentation, is excluded or limited by this agreement, even if any
            other term of this agreement would otherwise suggest that this might be the case.

5.2   Other than as set out in clause 5.1, neither party shall be liable to the other (whether for
      breach of contract, negligence or for any other reason) for any:

      (a)   loss of profits;

      (b)   loss of sales;

      (c)   loss of revenue;

      (d)   loss of any software or data;

      (e)   loss of use of hardware, software or data;

      (f)   indirect, consequential or special loss.

5.3   Subject to clauses 5.1 and 5.2, MaidSafe's total aggregate liability under this agreement and
      in relation to anything which MaidSafe has done or not done in connection with this agreement
      (and whether the liability arises because of breach of contract, negligence or for any other
      reason) shall be limited to:

      (a)   an amount equal to 125% of the total amount payable by the Customer under this agreement
            in the preceding 12 months; or

      (b)   if the amount referred to in (a) cannot be calculated accurately at the time the
            relevant liability is to be assessed, or if it is less than £5,000, to £5,000


6.    Charges

6.1   Schedule 1 sets out the licence fees and other charges payable by the Customer under this
      agreement.  The charges are due on the dates (or on the happening of the events) specified in
      schedule 1.

6.2   MaidSafe may invoice the Customer for the charges as soon as they become due.  The Customer
      must pay the invoices within 30 days of receiving them (and if MaidSafe posts them to the
      Customer, the Customer will be treated as having received them two working days later unless
      the Customer can show that this was not the case).

6.3   Where any charges are based on the Customer's revenues the Customer shall keep all accounts
      and documents necessary to evidence such revenues and to support any calculation of the
      relevant revenue share, and shall provide copies to MaidSafe on request.  Customer shall allow
      MaidSafe and its agents to enter into Customer's premises and to have access to all such
      accounts and documents upon reasonable request.  Where Customer's accounts and documents
      illustrate that Customer has underpaid any charges (or MaidSafe can otherwise demonstrate
      this) Customer shall immediately pay the balance due to MaidSafe plus MaidSafe's reasonable
      costs of audit.  This clause 6.3 shall survive termination or expiry of this agreement for 6
      years.

6.4   MaidSafe may charge interest on all sums outstanding beyond the date on which they are due for
      payment under this agreement.  Interest may be charged on that basis from the date payment was
      due until the date of payment (including after any judgement has been obtained) at the rate of
      3% per calendar month or part thereof.

6.5   The amounts specified in schedule 1 do not include VAT or any other taxes on supplies and the
      Customer will pay these to MaidSafe as well as the amounts concerned.


7.    Confidentiality

7.1   Each party will keep confidential any information which the other supplies to it in connection
      with this agreement.  Confidential information will include the Software and any related
      documentation; all information marked as being confidential; and any other information which
      might reasonably be assumed to be confidential.  The obligations as to confidentiality in this
      agreement will not apply to any information which:

      (a)   is available to the public other than because of any breach of this agreement;

      (b)   is, when it is supplied, already known to whomever it is disclosed to in circumstances
            in which they are not prevented from disclosing it to others;

      (c)   is independently obtained by whomever it is disclosed to in circumstances in which they
            are not prevented from disclosing it to others; or

      (d)   is required to be disclosed by law or by any court or tribunal with proper authority to
            order its disclosure (but only to the extent of such requirements).

      until terminated in accordance with this clause 8.

8.2   Either party may terminate this agreement if:

            remedy that breach or it is possible to remedy that breach, but the other fails to do so
            within 30 days of being asked to do so; or

      (b)   the other suffers any of the following event:

            (i)   a meeting of creditors of that party being held or an arrangement or composition
                  with or for the benefit of its creditors (including a voluntary arrangement as

                  party;

            (ii)  a chargeholder, receiver, administrative receiver or other similar party taking
                  possession of or being appointed over or any distress, execution or other process

                  or a material part of the assets of that party;

            (iii) that party ceasing to carry on business or being deemed to be unable to pay its
                  debts within the meaning of section 123 Insolvency Act 1986; 

            (iv)  that party or its directors or the holder of a qualifying floating charge or any

            (vi)  the happening in relation to that party of an event analogous to any of the above

8.3   MaidSafe may terminate this agreement if:

      (a)   Customer fails to pay any charges within 60 days of their due date; or

            subject of a claim of intellectual property infringement claim.

8.4   Apart from any other rights which MaidSafe might have, if the Customer breaches this agreement

      MaidSafe.
