Customers who have already purchased a lifetime license prior to this change will retain their original lifetime license benefits and terms, including continuous updates for the lifetime of the product. Customers with a annual license will receive updates only for the duration of their active license period.

b. Licensees are permitted to switch or use the license on up to three different domains within a calendar year.
c. The System will collect and store the domain name and IP address upon license activation and for each subsequent domain switch.
d. A pattern of domain switching may indicate an attempt to bypass the licensing system, potentially resulting in license suspension or cancellation at Licensor’s discretion.
e. Licensor maintains an activation history for all licenses to monitor usage and prevent fraudulent activity.
4. Intellectual Property
The Software, including its coding, functionalities, design, and all associated intellectual property rights, is the exclusive property of Licensor. The Software is protected by copyright laws, international treaty provisions, and other applicable national laws of the country in which it is being used. The Licensee is prohibited from copying, modifying, reverse engineering, or performing any other activities with the intent of discovering the Software’s source code.

Furthermore, the Licensee agrees not to challenge the validity of Licensor’s intellectual property rights, whether they be copyright, trademark, or any other form of protection granted to the Licensor.
5. Trial Period and Prohibitions on Use
Downloading and using the Software for a 15-day trial period is subject to the terms of this Agreement. During the trial period, the Licensee is strictly prohibited from selling, modifying, copying, or distributing the Software. Any such actions are considered a breach of this Agreement. Upon completion of the trial period, the Licensee must either purchase a valid license to continue using the Software or uninstall and cease using it.

Licensor provides support and maintenance services for direct purchases of the Software only, through specified paid support packages. Detailed information about the support packages and their coverage is available on the Licensor’s official website. This support does not extend to customers of the Licensee.
7. Termination and Product Deletion
Licensor reserves the right to terminate this Agreement and the license if the Licensee breaches any terms and conditions herein. Upon such breach, Licensor will provide notice to Licensee, who will then have 30 days to cure the breach. Failure to cure the breach within this period will result in termination. Upon termination or expiration of a annual license, all use of the Software must cease, and the Software will self-delete. All copies must be destroyed.

Indemnification: The Licensee agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Licensor and its affiliates, officers, agents, employees, and permitted successors and assigns harmless from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising out of or related to the Licensee’s use of the Software, provided that such use is in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
b. No Liability for Unlawful Use: The Licensor will not be held accountable under any circumstances for any illegal or unauthorised use of the Software by the Licensee. The Licensee acknowledges that they are solely responsible for ensuring that their use of the Software complies with all applicable laws and regulations, and any violation thereof is the Licensee’s sole responsibility.
c. Cooperation: The Licensee agrees to cooperate fully with Licensor in the defense of any claim that is the subject of Licensee’s obligations hereunder.
10. International Compliance and Governing Law
This Agreement is designed to comply with international laws and standards, acknowledging the diverse legal environments in which the AWWO™ products or services may be used. While the Licensor is based in the United Kingdom and this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with UK law, both parties recognize the importance of adhering to the relevant legal requirements of the Licensee's jurisdiction, especially regarding copyright, consumer protection, and privacy laws.
To ensure fairness and neutrality in dispute resolution, especially in cases involving parties from different jurisdictions, the following provisions shall apply:
a. Dispute Resolution: In the event of any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including its formation, validity, binding effect, interpretation, performance, breach or termination, as well as non-contractual claims, the parties shall endeavour to resolve the matter amicably through direct negotiations. Should such efforts not result in a resolution within thirty (30) days, the dispute shall be submitted to mediation. If mediation is unsuccessful, the dispute shall be resolved by arbitration.
b. Arbitration: Arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with said rules. The seat of arbitration shall be London, United Kingdom, but the arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English.

a. Customers, as well as trial downloaders, acknowledge and agree that upon downloading and using the AWWO™ All-in-One Plugin, whether in a purchased or trial capacity, they are bound by a non-competition agreement. This prohibits them from pursuing the development, encouragement, or association with the development of any similar products or services, during and after the period of use.

e. Violation of this non-competition clause during the trial period will result in immediate termination of the trial, revocation of access to the Software, and potential legal action for breach of contract and intellectual property infringement.
16. Data Protection and Privacy
Licensee agrees to comply with all applicable data protection laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) if operating within or servicing customers in the European Union.
