USER agrees that the price paid for the Software constitutes a license fee, granting USER only the rights set forth in this Agreement.

GRANT OF LICENSE

ATI grants to USER, and USER accepts, a limited, non-exclusive and revocable license to use the Software, in machine-readable, object code form only. USER agrees to use the Software only as authorized in this Agreement.

No other rights, either express or implied, are being transferred to the USER unless specifically stated in this Agreement. USER shall not have any right to reproduce, distribute, or otherwise disseminate the Software contrary to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

SCOPE OF LICENSE

This Software is licensed to be installed and used on only one device. A valid license must be purchased for each device on which the Software is to be installed. If USER installs the Software on a device that allows more than one person to simultaneously access the device at the same time, the Software must be licensed as a Terminal Server. Terminal Server licensing requires that a license be purchased for each person utilizing the Terminal Server. If USER has not paid for each Terminal Server person, USER will owe and promptly pay for all back charges accrued at ATI's current MSRP price plus interest at a rate of 18% per annum. In addition, USER will forfeit any and all discounts they may have received.

ATI reserves the right to audit (cloud-hosted) or to request access to audit (self-hosted) from time to time, and suspend service to any account if it determines, in its sole discretion, that the USER has installed the Software on a device that should have been licensed as a Terminal Server. If ATI suspends the account, ATI reserves the right to charge a re-connection fee of $250 or $10 per person, whichever is greater.

USER may not copy or make any changes or modifications to the Software, and USER may not engage or participate with any other third party to manufacture, duplicate, deliver, transfer, pirate, translate, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise reverse engineer the Software. USER may not lend, rent, lease or sub-license the Software, in any form, to any other third party for any purpose, unless authorized by this Agreement. USER agrees to use all reasonable efforts to protect the Software from unauthorized use, modification, reproduction, distribution or publication and to report any unauthorized use, modification, reproduction, distribution or publication to ATI. USER is not permitted to make any copies of the Software. USER shall not use the Software in a manner not authorized by the terms of this Agreement, and ATI reserves all rights that are not expressly granted herein.

To protect your account security, USER must log into the online portal at least once every thirty days. If the USER does not log-in according to this minimum schedule, recording of data for USER will be temporarily suspended. Should recording of data be suspended, USER can reactivate recording by logging-in to the web portal and reactivating service.

STORAGE OF RECORDED DATA

The Service includes the storage of data that is recorded by the software for fourteen (14) days. USER may opt to, for an additional fee, increase the period of time ATI stores their data. Should the User desire to have their data remain on ATI's servers for a longer period of time, User can purchase additional data storage at ATI's then-current prices. Should User's data storage requirements exceed reasonable amounts, ATI reserves the right to, at ATI's discretion, seek the appropriate remedy. Appropriate remedies include, but are not limited to, deleting excess data or requiring the customer to purchase additional data storage.

User agrees that ATI cannot be held liable in any way for the loss of recorded data.

The service includes 3 types of screenshots: alert word based, smart camera and continuous camera. Each account comes with unlimited alert word based screenshots and either 250,000 screenshots per person per annual purchase or 25,000 screenshots per person for monthly purchases for smart camera / continuous screenshots. Additional screenshots may be purchased if needed.

PRIVACY

ATI considers your use of the service to be private. However, we may access or disclose information about you, your account, recorded information stored in your account and/or the content of your communications, in order to: (1) comply with the law or legal process served on us; (2) enforce and investigate potential violations of this contract; including use of this service to participate in, or facilitate, activities that violate the law; (3) investigate potential fraudulent activities; or (4) protect the rights, property, or safety of ATI, its employees, its customers or the public.

TERM AND TERMINATION

This Agreement will become effective upon the date that USER acquires the Software and shall remain in full force and effect for the duration of the subscription. USER may terminate this agreement at any time by cancelling their subscription from within their web-based account. This Agreement and USER'S rights pursuant to this license will terminate automatically without notice from ATI if USER fails to comply with any provision of the Agreement. Upon termination for any reason, USER agrees to destroy or purge all copies of the Software and accompanying original materials. ATI will automatically charge USER'S payment information on file unless the USER has already cancelled or renewed for that subscription period. If the USER opts to cancel the renewal subscription, ATI will then terminate this Agreement and cancel the USER's account.

LIMITED WARRANTY

UNLESS MANDATORY UNDER APPLICABLE LAW DESPITE THIS PROVISION, ATI, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY WARRANTED HEREIN, PROVIDES THIS SOFTWARE "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH THE USER. ATI DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE SOFTWARE WILL MEET USER'S REQUIREMENTS OR THAT THE OPERATION OF THE PROGRAM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE OR THAT PROGRAM DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.

ATI records selected applications and thus cannot be expected to be compatible with any and all third party programs. It is the USER'S responsibility to confirm functionality with any specific program or application prior to purchase. For this reason, ATI provides a seven (7) day free trial of the software for the USER to confirm compatibility and functionality. ATI makes every effort to remain compatible with the programs and applications supported at time of purchase, but cannot guarantee compatibility as third party programs may be updated in the future.

NEW VERSIONS OF THE SOFTWARE

ATI, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to add additional features or functions, or to provide programming fixes, updates and upgrades, to the Software.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

USER AGREES THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL ATI, ITS AFFILIATES, DISTRIBUTORS OR RESELLERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES (INCLUDING ANY CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE), LOSS OF PROFIT OR ANY OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR OTHER DAMAGES, EVEN IF ATI OR ITS AFFILIATES ARE ADVISED, IN ADVANCE, OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. USER AGREES THAT THIS LIMITAITON OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY EVEN IF ANY REMEDIES FAIL OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, USER AGREES THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LIABILITY OF ATI, ITS AFFILIATES, DISTRIBUTORS OR RESELLERS EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE AND/OR THIS LICENSE.

COMPATIBILITY WITH ANTI VIRUS SOFTWARE

OUR SOFTWARE SOMETIMES REQUIRES CREATING AN EXCLUSION IN YOUR CHOSEN ANTI VIRUS SOFTWARE. ALL ANTI VIRUS PROGRAMS OFFER EXCLUSIONS AS A WAY FOR YOU (THEIR CUSTOMER) TO SELECT OTHER PROGRAMS YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR ANTI VIRUS SOFTWARE TO IGNORE. THIS PROCESS IS INTENDED TO WORK 100% OF THE TIME AS LONG AS THE ANTI VIRUS COMPANY RESPECTS THEIR OWN EXCLUSION PROCESS. FROM TIME TO TIME, SOME ANTI VIRUS PROGRAMS HAVE FLAWS WHERE THEY DON'T RESPECT THEIR OWN EXCLUSION PROCESS, AND THIS CAN RESULT IN OUR SOFTWARE (INTERGUARD) BEING REMOVED OR INTERFERED WITH. IN THIS CASE, THE ISSUE LIES WITH THE ANTI VIRUS SOFTWARE AND YOU WILL NEED TO CONTACT THEM TO LET THEM KNOW THEIR EXCLUSION PROCESS IS NOT FUNCTIONING. ONCE YOU CONTACT THEM TO LOG THIS ISSUE, WE WILL BE HAPPY TO WORK WITH THEM TO TEST THEIR FIX.

PLEASE CLICK THIS LINK TO SEE OUR LATEST ANTI VIRUS EXCLUSION GUIDE WHICH PROVIDES A DETAILED SET OF INSTRUCTIONS FOR SETTING EXCLUSIONS TO ALLOW FOR COMPATIBILITY WITH OUR SOFTWARE. WHILE WE UPDATE THIS LIST FROM TIME TO TIME AS REQUIRED, WE CANNOT GUARANTEE COMPATIBILITY AS ANTI VIRUS SOFTWARE COMPANIES MAY MAKE CHANGES WITHOUT INFORMING US. PLEASE NOTE THAT IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO TEMPORARILY DISABLE YOUR AV DURING INSTALLATION.

EXPORT LAW ASSURANCES

USER may not use or otherwise export or re-export the Software except as authorized by United States and International Law. In particular, but without limitation, the Software may not be exported or re-exported (i) into (or to a national or resident of) any country subject to a United States embargo or (ii) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department's list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce's Table of Denial Orders. By using the Software, USER represents and warrants that USER is not located in, under control of, or a national or resident of any such country on any such list. In the event that ATI receives information that the Software has been transferred to or is being used by an unauthorized third party, then ATI shall have the right to automatically and at their discretion terminate this Agreement and the rights associated herein.
