    8. Type of Licenses: the specific conditions of three possible licenses are described and governed below, and specified in the Software Product; the subsequent contractual articles may apply to the extent that they do not contradict the provisions set forth in this Article 1.h.

      1. Freeware without any verification:
        1. License Grant: The User is authorized to download and use the Software Product free of charge. This Software Product is provided as freeware, and no User registration is required for its use.
        2. No Warranty: The Software Product is provided 'as is' without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied, if admitted by the law.
        3. No Redistribution: The User is not authorized to redistribute or transfer the Software Product to third parties.
        4. Data Collection and Privacy: The Software Product will not collect User and device information.
      2. Freeware, NFR (Not for Resale), particular conditions (e.g. beta tester) or Paid Software with verification - via Web Site (https://clack.digital/) and third-party sites excluding App Stores (Apple App Store, Google Play Store, etc.):
        1. Registration and Activation: Depending on the version, the User may obtain the Software Product after registration or as a demo via anonymous download from the Web Site or third-party sites. Upon initial use, the Software Product might prompt for registration on the Web Site or require association with a Web Site user account. This process might involve transmitting the User's explicitly provided e.g. email address, a non-interactive machine identifier and/or other data better explained in the Privacy Policy (https://clack.digital/eula-1.0.0#privacy-policy).

        2. License Activation and Verification: At every startup, and possibly during operation, the Software Product might locally check for activation. If connected to the internet, it might also attempt to verify activation with the server, transmitting the same data.

        3. License Transfer (Paid-Software only): Generally, a registered User may transfer a Software Product (if such Software Product is also registered with the User’s account) to another registered User. Prior to the transfer, the end user receiving the transferred Software Product must agree to all the EULA terms. This process may require email addresses of both parties, or may involve an automated system, and a transfer fee may be applied. If and once your license has been transferred to a third party, your license is automatically terminated, subject to Section 7(d) of this EULA. For further information, see here: https://clack.digital/faq#license-transfer.

          ORASTRON does not oversee or manage the terms, including any financial aspects, of transfers between users.

        4. Data Collection and Privacy: The Software Product will collect certain User and device information for activation and verification purposes. This collection will be in compliance with applicable privacy laws and regulations. Read the attached Privacy Policy (https://clack.digital/faq#license-transfer) for any information.

        5. Scope of Use: You may install and personally use the Software Product associated to one account on up to 5 devices. The Software Product may not be used on a network by third-party users, unless each user possesses a license.

      3. Freeware, NFR (Not for Resale), particular conditions (e.g. beta tester) or Paid Software - via App Stores (Apple App Store, Google Play Store, etc.):
        1. Acquisition Through App Store. The User obtains the Software Product through an App Store, paying the applicable fee, if any.
        2. Account Linkage. While a Software Product purchased through third-party App Stores is typically linked to the User’s store account (e.g., Apple, Google), and license transfer between accounts is not permissible, the User might still need to associate the Software Product with their account on ORASTRON's servers, providing similar data as in other scenarios.
        3. License transfer. Transferring licenses acquired through App Stores between users is not supported by ORASTRON.
        4. Data Collection and Privacy. As with other scenarios, certain User and device information will be collected in compliance with privacy laws. Read the attached Privacy Policy (https://clack.digital/faq#license-transfer) for any information.

      Non-Paid Software, including freeware, NFR (not for Resale), demo and beta testing copies, cannot be resold or transferred.

  2. UPGRADES. To use a Software Product identified by ORASTRON as an upgrade, You must first be licensed for the original Software Product identified by ORASTRON as eligible for the upgrade. After upgrading, You may no longer use the original Software Product that formed the basis for your upgrade eligibility and the upgraded software shall be deemed the "Software Product".

  3. ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE. This EULA applies to updates or supplements to the original Software Product provided by ORASTRON unless ORASTRON provides other terms along with the update or supplement. In case of a conflict between such terms, the other terms will prevail.

  4. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. All intellectual property rights in the Software Product and user documentation (including titles and data bases) are owned by ORASTRON or its suppliers and are protected by law, including but not limited to copyright, trade secret, and trademark law, as well as other applicable laws and international treaty provisions. The structure, organization and code of the Software Product are valuable trade secrets and confidential information of ORASTRON and its suppliers. You shall not remove, alter, or obscure any product identification, copyright notices, proprietary restrictions, or other legal notices from the Software Product.

  5. LIMITATION ON REVERSE ENGINEERING. Except to the extent that such restriction is not permitted under applicable law, You are not permitted (and You agree not to) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or create derivative works of or modify the Software Product. Nothing contained herein shall be construed, expressly or implicitly, as transferring any right, license or title to You other than those explicitly granted under this EULA. ORASTRON reserves all rights in its intellectual property rights not expressly agreed to herein. Unauthorized copying of the Software Product, failure to comply with the restrictions in this EULA, or any other breach of the license herein, will result in automatic termination of this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that such actions will cause immediate, irreparable harm to ORASTRON for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy, and that injunctive relief may be sought by ORASTRON in such cases (if deemed to be appropriate by ORASTRON).

  6. FEE. In case of a Paid Software version, You agree to pay the Software Product any license or other due fee as otherwise stated on the Web Site (https://clack.digital/) or other EULA exhibits or purchase documents. You shall pay all applicable Fees when due, and according to the payment terms specified in the invoice. Any failure to pay Fees within a period of 30 days from the due date may cause your access to the Software Product to terminate immediately, and will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement.

  7. TERM, SALE TERMS AND AGREEMENT UPDATING.

    1. This EULA can be terminated if it is required to do so by law. Your license to use the Software Product under this EULA shall continue until it is terminated by either party. You may terminate this EULA at any time, by discontinuing the use of all or any of the Software Product and by destroying all copies of the Software Product in your possession and control.
    2. This EULA will also terminate immediately and without additional notice in the event You breach this EULA and/or fail to comply with sections 1, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13 or 17 of this EULA. All terms which by their nature should survive termination of this EULA shall survive its termination.
    3. If You are identified as a 'consumer' under the Italian Consumer Code (Codice del Consumo), Legislative Decree No. 206, dated September 6th, 2005, additional terms and conditions will apply. In the event of any conflict, these supplemental terms and conditions will take precedence over this EULA.
    4. Upon termination, You must immediately cease all use of the Software Product, destroy all copies of the Software Product, and remove all copies of the Software Product from any and all computer systems, servers, storage and devices in your possession, custody or control. Upon request, You will certify in writing to ORASTRON that You have complied with these requirements.
    5. ORASTRON reserves the right to periodically update the terms of this EULA. Any changes will be announced on the Web Site at https://clack.digital/ and sent to You by e-mail (if provided). Continued use of the Software Product following such notifications will be deemed as your acceptance of the revised terms. If the changes materially alter your rights or obligations, we will make reasonable efforts to notify You of the change. For example, we may send a message to your email address, if we have one on file, or generate a pop-up or similar notification when You access the Software Product for the first time after such material changes are made.
  8. PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION. The personal data shall be processed as stated in the linked Privacy Policy: https://clack.digital/eula-1.0.0#privacy-policy.

    You acknowledge and agree that some or all of the Software Products may be designed to anonymously connect to ORASTRON's servers. This connection is established for the sole purpose of searching for and retrieving news, updates, and notifications intended for the User ("Updates"). These Updates may include, but are not limited to, software patches, bug fixes, enhanced functionalities, and other relevant information that ORASTRON deems necessary for the User to have an optimal experience with the Software.

    The Software's ability to connect to ORASTRON's servers and receive Updates require no personal identification or the submission of personal data from the User. The connection is established in a manner that ensures the anonymity of the User, adhering to ORASTRON's privacy and data protection policies. By using the Software, You consent to this anonymous connection and the receipt of Updates as described above.

    The Software Product may give You the possibility to opt-out of receiving these Updates at any time. In such cases, You acknowledge that doing so may affect the functionality and security of the Software.

  9. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES.

    1. YOU AGREE THAT THE USE OF THE SOFTWARE PRODUCT IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK AS TO SATISFACTORY QUALITY PERFORMANCE, ACCURACY AND EFFORT. Use of the Software Product may adversely affect the operation of other software and devices. To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, the Software Product is offered on an "AS-IS" basis and ORASTRON does NOT warrant that the functions contained in the Software Product will meet your requirements or that the operation of the Software Product will be uninterrupted or error free or that such errors will be corrected. Computer software is inherently subject to bugs and potential incompatibility with other computer software and hardware. You should not use the Software Product for any applications or scenarios in which failure could cause any significant damage or injury to persons or tangible or intangible property, and You assume responsibility for the use and results obtained from the Software Product.
    2. EXCEPT AS MAY BE SET OUT IN A SPECIFIC WARRANTY ACCOMPANYING THE SOFTWARE PRODUCT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ORASTRON AND ITS SUPPLIERS PROVIDE THE SOFTWARE PRODUCT AND THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE "AS IS" AND WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT ANY OTHER WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, DUTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND OF LACK OF VIRUSES ALL WITH REGARD TO THE SOFTWARE PRODUCT AND THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY ORASTRON OR AN ORASTRON AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY. Some states/jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of implied warranties or limitations on the duration of implied warranties, so the above disclaimer may not apply to You in its entirety (in particular, if You are a consumer - in this case, read the sale terms that may apply to the software/device purchase, also by a third-party). To the extent applicable law requires ORASTRON to provide warranties, You agree that the scope and duration of such warranty shall be to the minimum extent permitted under such applicable law.
    3. IN NO EVENT DOES ORASTRON PROVIDE ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATIONS WITH RESPECT TO ANY THIRD PARTY HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE WITH WHICH THE SOFTWARE PRODUCT IS DESIGNED TO BE USED, AND ORASTRON DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY FAILURES THEREOF, UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED ON THE WEB SITE OR OTHER APPLICABLE TERMS OR IF MANDATORY ACCORDING TO THE LAW.
    4. The Software Product may display, include or make available content, data, information, applications or materials from third parties or provide links to certain third party web sites. By using the Software Product, You acknowledge and agree that ORASTRON is not responsible for any aspect of such third party materials or web sites. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ORASTRON does not warrant, endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for any third party materials, and will not be liable in any way for any damages or losses incurred from the use of any such materials. You agree that any third party materials can contain proprietary content, information and material that is protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws, including but not limited to copyright, and that You will not use such proprietary content, information or materials in any way whatsoever except for permitted use of the Software Product.
  10. CONFIDENTIALITY. The Software Product and any other proprietary information, technology or know how provided to You by ORASTRON (in any form) in connection with your utilization of the Software Product is the confidential information of ORASTRON ("Confidential Information"). You will use the Confidential Information only as expressly authorized in this EULA and You will protect the Confidential Information from unauthorized use, dissemination, or publication by using the same degree of care as You would use to protect Your own confidential information, but no less than a reasonable degree of care. You are not obligated with respect to Confidential Information that (a) is or becomes a matter of public knowledge through no fault of Yours; (b) is rightfully received by You from a third party without a duty of confidentiality; (c) is independently developed by You; (d) is disclosed under operation of law or (d) is disclosed by You with ORASTRON's prior written consent. Unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information may cause ORASTRON irreparable harm; therefore, ORASTRON will have the right to enforce this EULA and any of its provisions by any equitable relief.

  11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL ORASTRON OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, FOR LOSS OF DATA OR OTHER INFORMATION, FOR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, FOR PERSONAL INJURY, FOR LOSS OF PRIVACY ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE PRODUCT, THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE AND/OR THIRD PARTY HARDWARE USED WITH THE SOFTWARE PRODUCT, OR OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PROVISION OF THIS EULA), EVEN IF ORASTRON OR ANY SUPPLIER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND EVEN IF THE REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. Some states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to You in part of whole.

    ORASTRON is not obligated to maintain or support the Software Product, or to provide You with updates, fixes, or services related thereto. Nevertheless, You agree to use the Software Product at your own risk and that ORASTRON shall not have any liability to You with respect to such content.

    In no event shall ORASTRON’s total liability to you for all damages, other than as may be required by applicable law (e.g. in cases involving personal injury), exceed the amount actually paid by you for the Software Product.

    Other applicable terms (e.g. sale terms) or laws may supersede this provision.

  12. INDEMNITY. You agree to indemnify and hold ORASTRON and its officers, directors, employees and licensors harmless from any claim or demand (including but not limited to reasonable legal fees) made by a third party due to or arising out of or related to your violation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, your violation of any laws, regulations or third party rights or your negligent act, omission or willful misconduct.

  13. ASSIGNMENT. You expressly recognize to ORASTRON the power to transfer to third party, in whole or in part, for the entire world or single countries, temporarily or permanently, all the rights granted with this Agreement or some of them; in this event, ORASTRON will be released from all responsibilities and obligations deriving from the Agreement, which will be fully and solely assumed by the applicable assignee.

    Transfers and assignments signed by ORASTRON according to the previous section, are approved by You since now and ORASTRON does not need Your permission every time it decides to transfer the rights. A notice will be sent to your last known email address on file with ORASTRON at the time of the assignment, if any was provided.

The parties hereby agree that this Agreement is not governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

If a dispute arises in connection with this Agreement, the parties will try in good faith to settle it through mediation conducted by the European Online Dispute Resolution Service (https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/main/?event=main.adr.show2) and resolved in accordance with its Rules. The parties will share the costs of the mediator equally. Each party will cooperate fully and fairly with the mediator and will attempt to reach a mutually satisfactory compromise to the dispute. Costs of arbitration, including lawyers' fees, will be allocated by the ODR or the applicable law.

  17. GENERAL.

    1. Entire agreement and Third-party Store terms.
