(Last Updated October 3rd, 2007)This Agreement applies to Vemail™ mobile phone software (the "Software") and related services (the "Service") provided by Voice Genesis®. The Software and Service are collectively referred to as the product (the "Product").
BY CLICKING "ACCEPT" OR INSTALLING OR USING THE PRODUCT, YOU ARE CONSENTING TO BE BOUND BY AND BECOME A PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT AS THE "LICENSEE."
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MUST NOT CLICK "ACCEPT", YOU MUST NOT INSTALL OR USE THE SOFTWARE, AND YOU DO NOT BECOME A LICENSEE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
1. LICENSE AGREEMENT. As used in this Agreement "Voice Genesis" shall mean Voice Genesis, Inc., a California corporation. In this Agreement "Licensor" shall mean Voice Genesis except under the following circumstances: (i) if Licensee acquired the Software as a bundled component of a third party product or service, then such third party shall be Licensor; and (ii) if any third party software is included as part of the Software installation and no license is presented for acceptance the first time that third party software is invoked, then the use of that third party software shall be governed by this Agreement, but the term "Licensor," with respect to such third party software, shall mean the manufacturer of that software and not Voice Genesis. With the exception of the situation described in (ii) above, the use of any included third party software shall be governed by the third party's license agreement and not by this Agreement, whether that license agreement is presented for acceptance the first time that the third party software is invoked, is included in a file in electronic form, or is included in the package in printed form. If more than one license agreement was provided for the Software, and the terms vary, the order of precedence of those license agreements is as follows: a signed agreement, a license agreement available for review on the Voice Genesis website, a printed or electronic agreement that states clearly that it supersedes other agreements, a printed agreement provided with the Software, an electronic agreement provided with the Software.
2. LICENSE GRANT. Licensor grants Licensee a non-exclusive and non-transferable license to use for personal or internal business purposes the executable code version of the Software on a single messaging device.
