PocketFMS End User License Agreement (EULA).
IMPORTANT - READ CAREFULLY: This End-User License Agreement ("EULA") is a legal agreement between you (either an individual or a single entity) and The PocketFMS Foundation (“the Foundation”) for the Foundation software that accompanies this EULA, which includes computer software and may include associated data, media, printed materials, "online" or electronic documentation, and Internet-based services ("Software"). PocketFMS and the PocketFMS logo are registered trademarks of the PocketFMS Foundation.
YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS EULA BY INSTALLING, COPYING, OR OTHERWISE USING THE SOFTWARE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT INSTALL, COPY, OR USE THE SOFTWARE.
1. LICENCE GRANT.
The Foundation grants you the following non-exclusive rights provided that you comply with all terms and conditions of this EULA:
1.1 Installation and use. You may install, use, access, display and run multiple copies of the Software on different computer platforms, provided that the number of copies so installed is considered by the Foundation to be reasonable, and provided that such use is always by you personally or under your immediate and personal supervision.
Without limiting the foregoing, The Foundation provides the following as an indication of a reasonable number of copies installed simultaneously:
- two (2) copies installed on computers running the Microsoft Windows Operating System or Apple Mac Operating System; for example one at home and one at work, or one at home and one on a notebook computer;
- one (1) copy installed on a memory stick or memory card intended for transportation to, and temporary use on a computer running the Windows or Mac Operating System;
- two (2) copies installed on computers running the Windows CE / Windows Mobile, iOS, or Android operating systems, where the second is nominally a backup system for the first; for example on two Windows CE Personal Navigation Devices (PND), or a PND and an iPhone, or an Android device and an iPad.
You may be granted permission to install and use the Software on additional computers or for use by members of a club or organization, on request to the Foundation. You may make a reasonable number of additional copies of the Software solely for archival, emergency back-up, or disaster recovery purposes.
The Foundation shall from time to time in its sole discretion, and under the condition that you comply with this EULA, make updates to the Software available to you either with or without additional charge.
1.2 Mandatory Registration. The license rights granted under this EULA are subject to you registering with the Foundation, as provided for during the setup sequence of the Software. The license rights granted under this EULA are further limited to the first thirty (30) days after you first register with the Foundation (“Trial Period”) unless you establish and maintain a valid subscription with the Foundation. You can subscribe to the Foundation through the process communicated to you with your registration number. There are technological measures in this Software that are designed to prevent use of the Software without a valid registration and subscription. The Foundation will use those measures to confirm you have a valid registration and subscription with the Foundation. Other than during the Trial Period, if you do not have a valid subscription with the Foundation, you are not permitted to use the software or exercise any of the rights granted under this EULA. The Foundation will not collect any personally identifiable information from your Workstation Computer or Portable Computer during this process. Personal information provided to the Foundation by you to obtain registration or a subscription will be stored and used in accordance with the Foundation's published Privacy Policy.
1.3 Storage / Network Use. You may store or install a copy of the Software on a storage device, such as a network server, used only to install or run the Software on your Workstation Computers over an internal network; however, you must acquire and dedicate an additional license for each separate Workstation Computer on or from which the Software is installed, used, accessed, displayed or run. A licence for the Software may not be shared or used concurrently on different Workstation Computers.
1.4 Cloud Storage. Part of your personal data is or can be stored on servers governed by the PocketFMS Foundation ('Cloud Storage'). After termination or expiration of your licence to the Software, the PocketFMS Foundation may, at its sole discretion, irrevocably remove that personal data from these servers.

You will receive the remedy elected by the Foundation without charge, except that you are responsible for any expenses you may incur. This Limited Warranty is void if failure of the Software has resulted from accident, abuse, misapplication, abnormal use or a virus. The Foundation will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide your remedy within a commercially reasonable time of your compliance with the Foundation’s warranty remedy procedures. To exercise your remedy,
14. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES.
The Limited Warranty that appears above is the only express warranty made to you and is provided in lieu of any other express warranties or similar obligations (if any) created by any advertising, documentation, packaging, or other communications.
