SOFTWARE LICENSE

The Software (including, but not limited to, any images, photographs, animation, video, audio, music, text and “applets” incorporated into the Software) is owned by Sony and the Third Party Licensors, and its structure, organization and code are valuable trade secrets of Sony and the Third Party Licensors. The Software is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws and international treaties. Except as expressly set forth in this EULA, this EULA does not grant you any intellectual property rights in the Software, and you cannot use the Software except as specified herein. The Software is licensed, not sold. Sony grants you a limited license to use the Software on two (2) computers or mobile devices, as applicable; provided that the Software may not be used on two (2) or more devices simultaneously. If you received a trial version of the Software, subject to your compliance with the terms and conditions of this EULA, Sony grants you a limited license for a limited trial period to use one (1) copy of the Software to evaluate the Software, and only for your personal, noncommercial use on a single computer or mobile device, as applicable. The Software may create data files automatically for use with the Software, and you agree that any such data files are deemed to be a part of the Software. This does not include, however, any user-generated content or project files, which will remain the property of the owner. The Software is licensed as a single product (“Product”), and you may not separate its component parts for use on more than one (1) computer or mobile device unless expressly authorized by Sony. You agree not to copy, modify, publish, adapt, redistribute, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, attempt to derive or discover source code, or otherwise reduce to a human-perceivable form, or create derivative works of, the Software in whole or in part, or to use the Software in whole or in part for any purpose other than as expressly permitted under this EULA. You may not modify or tamper with any digital rights management functionality of the Software, or bypass, modify, defeat or circumvent any of the functions or protections of the Software or any mechanisms operatively linked to the Software. You may not remove, alter, cover or deface any trademarks or notices on the Software. In addition, you may not share, distribute, loan, rent, lease, sublicense, assign, transfer, or sell the Software, but you may transfer all of your rights under this EULA only as part of a sale or transfer of the Product provided: (i) you retain no copies of, and transfer all of the Software (including but not limited to all copies, component parts, any media, printed materials, all versions and any upgrades of the Software, and this EULA) as part of such sale or transfer; (ii) uninstall the Software from any device where it has been installed; and (iii) the recipient agrees to the terms of this EULA and Sony's privacy policy. Sony and its Third Party Licensors expressly reserve and retain all rights, title and interest (including but not limited to intellectual property rights) that this EULA does not expressly grant to you. You shall not: (a) violate, tamper with, bypass, modify, defeat, or circumvent any of the functions or protections of the Software, or any mechanisms operatively linked to the Software; or (b) remove, alter, cover, or deface any trademarks or proprietary legends, notices or language in or on the Software.

EXCLUDED SOFTWARE

Notwithstanding the foregoing limited license grant, you acknowledge that the Product includes software subject to other terms and conditions governing the use of such software other than this EULA (“Excluded Software”). Certain Excluded Software may be covered by open source software licenses (“Open Source Components”), which means any software licenses approved as open source licenses by the Open Source Initiative or any substantially similar licenses, including but not limited to any license that, as a condition of distribution of the software licensed under such license, requires that the distributor make the software available in source code format. Please visit www.sonycreativesoftware.com/licensenotices for a list of applicable Excluded Software included in this Product from time to time, and the applicable terms and conditions governing its use. Such terms and conditions may be changed by the applicable third party at any time without liability to you. To the extent required by the licenses covering Open Source Components, the terms of such licenses will apply in lieu of the terms of this EULA. To the extent the terms of the licenses applicable to Open Source Components prohibit any of the restrictions in this EULA with respect to such Open Source Components, such restrictions will not apply to such Open Source Component. To the extent the terms of the licenses applicable to Open Source Components require Sony to make an offer to provide source code in connection with the Software, such offer is hereby made.
