2       License Grant

2.1     The Generator product is licensed under exactly one of the following license types.
You agree to abide by the restrictions listed below.

(a) Demo stamped trial version

Under this License the generator may be downloaded for free and used by You for a limited
period for development and initial testing. The intention is to allow You time to assess
whether the generator is suitable for their purposes. Under this License, the generator MAY
NOT be used outside of a development environment.

(b) CPU License

Under this License You are granted the non-transferable, non-exclusive and perpetual right to
link the Generator to part of an applet or product running on (or in the case of
applets, downloaded from) a fixed number of production servers - defined as a computer run by
You excluding the Development Environment. The price of this License depends on the total
number of CPUs used by programs linked to the generator, not the number of physical machines
used. This License may be transferred between servers, provided that the number of server CPUs
concurrently running products linked to the generator never exceeds the number of server CPUs
specified in this License Agreement.

(c) OEM License

(i) Under this License You are granted the global, irrevocable, non-transferable,
non-exclusive and perpetual right to link the Generator to products requiring the Generator
as an integral part, and that are developed, marketed and distributed by You and distributed
to third parties. The price of this License is based on the total number of products
distributed that are linked to the Generator, including any non-free updates to the Product.
The products distributed by You and linked to the Generator must add considerable
functionality to the Generator. Programs, which in essence mimic the functionality of the
Generator, or a subset thereof, are expressly prohibited under this License.

(ii) This License includes the right for You to sub-license to third parties the right to use
this generator only as part of the product developed by You - any other use will require a
separate license agreement with the Licensor. This License specifically excludes use which
falls under the category of a "CPU License" as defined above.

(iii) You undertake and warrant that you will not reveal, divulge or disclose to any third
party whatsoever the key code of this OEM License and further undertake to embed the OEM key
code in a secure manner. The key must be hard coded into the source and not be 
stored external to the code. In addition, it should not be accessible by anyone not covered 
within the license agreement.

(d) Annual Subscription License

Under this License You are granted the non-transferable and non-exclusive right to link the
Generator to a website or intranet. The price of this License depends on the total number
of CPUs used by programs linked to the Generator, not the number of physical machines
used. Fees for this License are renewed annually as a subscription. This License may be
transferred between servers, provided that the number of server CPUs concurrently running
products linked to the Generator never exceeds the number of server CPUs specified in
this License Agreement.

2.2     Development License
 
In addition to the License grants defined in 2.1, an annual charge may apply for running
the Generator in a Development Environment. This charge will apply only while the Product
is "live" - it specifically excludes the period when the product is under development and
has not yet been released.


3       Copyright

3.1     You acknowledge that no title to the intellectual property in any part of the Product
is transferred to You. You further acknowledge that title and full ownership rights to the
Product will remain the exclusive property of The Licensor and its suppliers and You will
not acquire any rights to the Product except as expressly set out in this Agreement. You agree
that any copies of any part of the Product will contain the same proprietary notices which
appear on and in the Product (as appropriate).

3.2     The Licensor warrants that all intellectual property rights in the Product either
reside with itself or its suppliers and that the Licensor is entitled to enter into this
Agreement and that use of the Product by an Authorised User is not in breach of any third
party's intellectual property rights. The Licensor agrees to indemnify You against all costs,
claims and liabilities arising from breach of this warranty provided that you immediately
notify the Licensor about any alleged breach and render all reasonable assistance to the
Licensor (at the cost of the Licensor) in defending any such claim.

3.3     You agree that this License does not include ownership of the source-code for the
Generator, which may be covered by a separate license.
