End User License Agreement for meshloader (trial version and full license). It governs the use of the software and takes precedence over the General Terms and Conditions (Section 1.6) with regard to software licenses.
Meshloader – End User License Agreement (Trial Version and Full License)
By installing, copying, downloading, accessing, or otherwise using the software included in this package (the “Software”), you acknowledge that you have read and understood this agreement and that you agree to comply with all of its terms and conditions. If you do not agree to the terms of this Agreement, you may not download, install, copy, access, or otherwise use the Software. In this Agreement, you are sometimes referred to as the “Licensee.”
This agreement governs the use of the software both as a trial version (“Trial Mode”) and—after purchasing a license—as a full version (“Full License Mode”). Which license mode applies in each case is determined in accordance with Section 1.
1. Granting of Licenses and License Restrictions
1.1 License Modes
The software can be used in one of two licensing modes:
-
(a) Trial Mode: From the initial installation of the software until the end of the trial period (Section 3.1) or until the software is activated with a valid license key—whichever occurs first—the software is licensed as a trial version in accordance with Section 1.2.
-
(b) Full License Mode: Upon purchase of a license and activation of the software with a valid license key, the software is licensed as a full version in accordance with Section 1.3.
1.2 Granting a License for the Trial Version (Trial Mode)
In test mode, NEED immersive reality GmbH (“NEED”) grants you, free of charge, a limited, non-exclusive license under which you may use the software solely for the purpose of evaluating or testing the software or participating in authorized training sessions, subject to compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in this license agreement. The software is the property of NEED and its suppliers and is protected by Austrian law as well as international laws and treaties. Except for the reproduction that necessarily occurs during the installation, loading, and execution of the software for the purposes permitted under this agreement, you are not authorized to reproduce the software.
1.3 Granting a License for the Full Version (Full License Mode)
In full-license mode, NEED grants you, upon payment of the agreed-upon license fee, a paid, limited, non-exclusive, and non-transferable license to use the software in a production environment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. With the exception of the reproduction that necessarily occurs when installing, loading, and running the software on the licensed workstation, you are not authorized to reproduce the software beyond the scope permitted under this license.
The full license is offered exclusively as an annual license. No other term (e.g., monthly or perpetual) is available. Each license entitles the licensee to use the software on one (1) workstation at a time (single-user license). The license can be logged out (deactivated) on one computer and subsequently logged back in (activated) on another computer, provided that the software is used on only one workstation per license at any given time. The number of licenses is determined by the respective order or order confirmation.
1.4 Switching from Trial Mode to Full License Mode
Upon the purchase of a license and the activation of the software with a valid license key, the trial license granted pursuant to Section 1.2 automatically expires and is replaced—without the need for any further action or renewed acceptance of this Agreement—by the full license granted pursuant to Section 1.3. From that point on, the provisions of this Agreement applicable to the full license mode shall apply. The number of licenses, the license fees, and the start of the license term are determined by the respective order or order confirmation (Section 4). All other provisions of this Agreement remain in full force and effect.
1.5 Limitations
The licensee is not authorized to:
-
(a) to make this software available to third parties, except for the Licensee’s employees, who may use the software solely in the manner specified in the license terms set forth above and—in full-license mode—within the scope of the number of licenses purchased;
-
(b) modify the software, integrate the software into another program, or merge the software with another program;
-
(c) to subject the Software to reverse engineering, decompile or disassemble it, or otherwise attempt to determine the source code of the Software, or to attempt to extract third-party software components integrated into the Software from the Software, unless you are expressly permitted by applicable law to decompile the software, such decompilation is essential to achieve interoperability with another software program, and you have first requested the necessary information from NEED to achieve such interoperability, but NEED has not provided this information (NEED reserves the right to impose reasonable conditions and to charge a reasonable fee before providing such information);
-
(d) to sublicense, sell, lend, rent, transfer, or lease any part of the software (including any earlier version of the software) or the license granted under this Agreement;
-
(e) To provide services, timeshare services, or subscription services that are based on or otherwise utilize the Software to third parties;
-
(f) Publish or disclose to third parties any benchmark, performance, or comparative test results for the software without NEED's prior written consent.
In addition, the licensee is not authorized to do the following in test mode:
-
(g) use the software for commercial purposes or for rental;
-
(h) to use the software in production environments or as part of a commercial workflow;
-
(i) make the software available via a network, a cloud service, a hosted environment, remote desktop, streaming, a virtual desktop infrastructure, or a similar deployment method, unless expressly authorized in writing by NEED.
If the licensee is not a natural person but rather a business, a limited liability company, a partnership, or another organization, the following applies:
-
(a) The Licensee may permit its employees to use the software, subject to the above license terms and—in full-license mode—within the limits of the number of licenses purchased;
-
(b) The Licensee is responsible for ensuring that all employees comply with the terms of this Agreement;
-
(c) In the event that an employee’s employment with the Licensee is terminated, the Licensee must ensure that the employee returns all copies of the Software in his or her possession to the Licensee and uninstalls the Software from all of his or her computers.
1.6 License Compliance (Full License Mode)
In full-license mode, NEED may, upon reasonable prior notice and no more than once per calendar year, request reasonable information from the Licensee regarding the number of active installations and users of the software in order to verify compliance with the licensed number. The Licensee shall provide this information within a reasonable period of time. This section does not entitle NEED to access the Licensee’s systems or the Licensee’s content.
2. Test software – evaluation mode (test mode)
In test mode, the software is provided solely for evaluation purposes. You acknowledge and agree that the software may contain errors, bugs, defects, or incomplete features; may be unstable or crash; and may not have undergone the testing typically required for a final commercial release. In test mode, the software is not intended for production use. You are solely responsible for backing up your data and systems before and during use of the software.
3. Term and Termination
3.1 Test Period (Test Mode)
The trial license is valid for a period of 7 (seven) days from the date of your initial installation of the software. NEED reserves the right to extend this trial period in consultation with the licensee; such an extended period may not exceed a total of 360 (three hundred sixty) days from the date of initial installation. The trial license and your rights to use the software in trial mode automatically terminate upon expiration of the trial period, upon transition to the full license mode in accordance with Section 1.4, or earlier if you violate any provision of this Agreement. If the trial license expires without transitioning to full license mode, all copies of the software must be uninstalled and destroyed or, at NEED’s discretion, returned to NEED immediately.
3.2 Term of the Full License (Full License Mode)
The full license is granted as an annual license and is valid for a period of 12 (twelve) months from the start of the license term (the “Term”). The start of the license term is determined in accordance with Section 4 (License Fees and Billing Period).
3.3 Automatic Renewal (Full License Mode)
The full license shall automatically renew for additional 12 (twelve) months at the end of each term, under the terms and license fees in effect at that time, unless terminated by either party in a timely manner in accordance with Section 3.4. NEED will notify the licensee of any change in the license fees applicable to the renewal at least 30 days before the start of the renewed term.
3.4 Termination
Either party may terminate the full license by giving proper notice at the end of the respective term. Notice of termination must be received by the other party in writing (including via email) no later than 1 (one) month before the expiration of the current term. If notice of termination is not received in a timely manner, the full license shall be automatically extended for an additional 12 months in accordance with Section 3.3.
The right to terminate this Agreement for cause remains unaffected. Furthermore, the license granted under this Agreement and your rights to use the Software shall automatically terminate if you breach any material provision of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, failure to pay license fees when due, or if you circumvent, deactivate, manipulate, or otherwise interfere with the Software’s license protection or activation mechanism, or exceed the licensed number of copies. In the event of termination of the license, the right to use the Software shall cease; all copies of the Software must be uninstalled and destroyed or, at NEED’s discretion, returned to NEED.
4. License Fees and Billing Period
The trial mode is provided free of charge; no license fee is required.
In full-license mode, the license fee for the annual license is specified in the respective order or order confirmation and is billed in advance for the entire 12-month term.
The billing period begins—whichever occurs first—upon written confirmation (order confirmation or written acceptance of the offer) or upon issuance of the invoice. This date also marks the start of the license period as defined in Section 3.2.
Unless otherwise expressly agreed in a validly issued order or contract, payments are generally due within a maximum of 30 days from the invoice date, without any deductions. In the event of automatic renewal pursuant to Section 3.3, the license fee for the respective new license period will be invoiced again accordingly.
5. Excluded Uses (Non-Safety-Critical Uses)
The software is not designed, intended, or approved for use in environments or applications where a failure, error, or inaccuracy in the software could result in death, personal injury, or serious physical, environmental, or property damage. This includes, in particular, but is not limited to, the operation of medical devices or life-support systems, industrial process or machine control, aerospace, maritime or rail navigation or control, automotive or other vehicle control systems, nuclear facilities, weapons systems, and any other safety-critical or real-time-critical control application (collectively, “High-Risk Applications”). You agree not to use the Software for High-Risk Applications and acknowledge that NEED expressly disclaims any express or implied warranty of fitness for such purposes.
6. Licensee’s Content and Indemnification
“Licensee Content” means all data, CAD files, meshes, 3D models, textures, materials, scenes, and other files that you import, load, process, or display using the software. In the relationship between you and NEED, you retain all rights to your Content and remain solely responsible for it.
You represent and warrant that you own or have acquired all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to use the Licensee’s Content with the Software, and that your use does not infringe any third-party rights (including intellectual property rights), violate any confidentiality obligations, or violate any applicable law. NEED does not review or monitor the Licensee’s Content and assumes no responsibility for it.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless NEED, its suppliers, and licensors from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your content or your breach of this section, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
7. Ownership of the Software
This software is the property of NEED and its suppliers and licensors. You are granted only a license to use this software in accordance with this Agreement. This does not confer any title to or ownership of this software, nor any related property rights. You may not infringe these rights and are obligated to take all necessary measures to protect the rights of NEED and its suppliers and licensors. NEED’s licensors are expressly designated as third-party beneficiaries of this license, with the right to enforce against you the terms of this Agreement with respect to the relevant components of the software that they have licensed to NEED.
8. Feedback
If you provide NEED with suggestions, ideas, requests for improvements, error or bug reports, or any other feedback regarding the software (“Feedback”), you grant NEED a right, unlimited in time and territory, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully compensated, and transferable, to use, reproduce, modify, and otherwise exploit this Feedback, as well as to integrate it into the software or other products and services of NEED, without you being entitled to any compensation or other obligation in return. NEED is under no obligation to use any Feedback.
9. Updates, Upgrades, Changes, and Support
NEED may, but is not obligated to, provide updates, upgrades, patches, bug fixes, or new versions of the software. NEED may, at any time and at its sole discretion, replace, modify, improve, expand, or discontinue the software or individual features, in whole or in part, and is not obligated to maintain, support, or further develop the software or any specific feature. No specific feature or function of the software is warranted or guaranteed; the current scope of functionality does not constitute a warranted characteristic.
Unless expressly agreed otherwise in a separate written maintenance or support agreement, NEED assumes no obligations regarding maintenance, support, response times, service levels, or troubleshooting under this contract. Any maintenance and support services are optional and subject to a separate agreement and separate compensation.
10. Warranties and Limitation of Liability
10.1 Warranty
To the extent permitted by law, the software is provided “as is,” without any further warranty (whether express, implied, or arising by operation of law), including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of general merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, compliance with applicable regulations, and data accuracy (and NEED and its distributors or suppliers hereby disclaim such representations and warranties). NEED and its distributors or suppliers make no warranty that the use of the Software will be error-free or that the use of the Software will meet the Licensee’s requirements. You hereby confirm that you (a) have the necessary knowledge to evaluate the suitability of the Software for your purposes and have in fact done so; and (b) have selected the Software based on your own qualifications and judgment. Mandatory statutory warranty rights remain unaffected.
10.2 Limitation of Liability
Under no circumstances shall the total liability of NEED and its distributors or suppliers for all claims arising out of or in connection with the software, whether based on a legal transaction, a warranty, or a tort (including strict liability and negligence), product liability, or otherwise, exceed the following amounts:
-
(a) in test mode: the greater of the fees you have actually paid under this Agreement or 100 EUR (one hundred euros); since the trial version is provided free of charge, the fees paid are generally zero;
-
(b) in full-license mode: the license fee actually paid by the licensee during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the damages.
Under no circumstances shall NEED and its distributors or suppliers be liable for consequential, indirect, special, punitive, exemplary, or incidental damages, loss of goodwill, or lost profits, even if NEED and its distributors or suppliers have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
The foregoing limitations and exclusions do not apply to liability that cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory law. In particular, liability for willful misconduct and gross negligence, for damages resulting from injury to life, limb, or health, under the Austrian Product Liability Act, as well as the mandatory warranty and liability rights of consumers under the Consumer Protection Act (KSchG), remain unaffected.
11. Export Controls and Sanctions
You agree to comply with all applicable export control and sanctions regulations, including those of the Republic of Austria, the European Union, and, where applicable, the United States of America. You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country or with a party subject to applicable embargoes or sanctions, and that you will not use, export, or re-export the Software to such a country or party, and that you are not a person or organization with whom transactions are prohibited under such regulations. The Software may not be used for any purpose prohibited by applicable export control or sanctions laws.
