  1. OCLC Cloud Library (“cloudLibrary”) Application Software. As used in this Agreement, "Software" means the proprietary OCLC Cloud Application Software for approved e-readers, mobile devices or personal computers licensed to User herein, including but not limited to any updates (e.g., maintenance releases, modifications to existing functionality or new functionality) that may be provided to User by OCLC, at OCLC’s option, during the term of this Agreement. OCLC is under no obligation to issue updates
  2. License. During the term of this Agreement, OCLC grants User the nonexclusive, nontransferable right to use the Software solely for User's own, personal use and only in combination with the OCLC Cloud Library Services. The Software may be installed only on a single, approved, compatible device (e-reader, mobile device or personal computer) owned and controlled by User. User acknowledges that the Software is the sole and exclusive property of OCLC and its licensors. OCLC reserves to itself and its licensors any rights not expressly granted herein.
  3. Terms of Use. In order to access and use the OCLC Cloud Library Services, you will be required to agree to additional Terms of Use, including payment of fees, if applicable.
  4. Third Party Components. Certain software libraries and other components of the Software are subject to third-party and open source licenses and/or notices. Such licenses and/or notices may be found in the "read me" files in the file directories in which such components are located, along with instructions on how to obtain source code of such components, if applicable. You agree to comply with the terms of such licenses and/or notices. Any terms and conditions of this EULA that differ from such licenses and/or notices are offered by OCLC alone, and not by the licensor(s), initial developers or contributors of such components.
  5. Prohibitions. User is prohibited from: (i) sublicensing, leasing, lending or transferring the Software to any third party; (ii) using, or permitting the use of, the Software for the benefit of, or by, any third party such as use of the software as a service bureau; (iii) making copies of the Software; (iv) disassembling, reverse engineering or creating derivative works of the Software; or (v) using the Software with hardware or services except those provided or expressly authorized by OCLC.
  6. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITH ALL FAULTS, AND OCLC, ITSELF AND ON BEHALF OF ITS LICENSORS, IF ANY, DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF A COURSE OF DEALING.
  7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. YOU AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK, AND THAT OCLC AND ITS LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, OCLC AND ITS LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ECONOMIC LOSS BASED UPON BREACH OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF OCLC HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL OCLC’S AND ITS LICENSORS' MAXIMUM CUMULATIVE LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES FOR ALL MATTERS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE SOFTWARE EXCEED THE LESSER OF (i) THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE SOFTWARE, AND (ii) FIFTY DOLLARS ($50.00) IN THE AGGREGATE. SOME STATES OR COUNTRIES MAY HAVE LAWS THAT REQUIRE LIABILITY RIGHTS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE STATED ABOVE. IN SUCH STATES OR COUNTRIES, THE MINIMUM REQUIRED LIABILITY TERMS SHALL APPLY.
  8. Term and Termination. This Agreement will remain in effect until terminated in accordance herewith. This Agreement will terminate immediately and without notice if: (i) User breaches a material term of this Agreement or the Terms of Use; or (ii) User discontinues use of the Software. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, User shall cease all further use of the Software and, at OCLC’s option, destroy or return to OCLC all copies then in User's possession or control. At OCLC’s request, User will certify to OCLC in writing that it is in full compliance with the requirements of this paragraph.
  9. U.S. Government End Users. This provision applies to all acquisitions of this Software by or for the Federal Government or by any prime contractor or subcontractor (at any tier) for the Federal Government under any contract, grant, cooperative agreement, other transaction, or other agreement with the Federal Government. By accepting delivery of this Software, the Federal Government hereby agrees that this Software qualifies as "commercial" computer software within the meaning of the acquisition or financial assistance regulations applicable to this procurement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to the Government's use and disclosure of this Software and shall supersede any conflicting contract terms and conditions. If this Agreement fails to meet the Government's needs or is inconsistent with federal law, the Federal Government agrees to return this Software, unused, to OCLC. The following additional statement applies only to acquisitions governed by DFARS Subpart 227.4 (October 1988): "Restricted Rights - Use, duplication and disclosure by the Government is subject to restrictions as set forth in subparagraph (c)(1)(ii) of the Rights in Technical Data and Computer Software clause at DFARS 252.227-7013 (OCT. 1988)."
  10. Export Law Assurances. The laws and regulations of the United States restrict the export and re-export of commodities and technical data of United States origin, including the Software. User agrees that it will not export or re-export the Software in any form without the appropriate United States Government and foreign government licenses. User agrees that its obligations under this paragraph survive and continue after any termination or expiration of rights under this Agreement.
  11. General Provisions. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between OCLC and User with respect to use of the Software. This Agreement is governed by and construed under Ohio law, excluding its conflicts of law provisions. The parties agrees that, in the event of any disputes arising between the parties, jurisdiction and venue for resolving such disputes shall reside exclusively in the state and federal courts in Franklin County, Ohio, USA. This Agreement, or any of the rights granted herein, may not be amended, assigned, sublicensed or transferred by User without OCLC’s prior written consent. Failure of OCLC to enforce any provision will not constitute a waiver of such provision or of the right to enforce such provision. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity and enforceability of the other provisions will not be affected. The provisions of paragraphs 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11 will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement. If this Agreement is translated into another language, the English language version shall govern.
