distribution or other use of the Software; and/or (iii) your distribution or
other use of the New Creations. You agree
that your unauthorized use of the Software, or any part thereof, may

entitled to an injunctive order, in addition to all other available remedies
including a monetary award, appropriately restraining and/or prohibiting such
unauthorized use without the necessity of ID posting bond or other security. IN ANY CASE, ID AND ID’S OFFICERS,
EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS, AGENTS, LICENSEES, SUBLICENSEES, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE OR OTHER SIMILAR DAMAGES ARISING
FROM ANY ALLEGED CLAIM FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR OTHER LEGAL THEORY EVEN IF ID OR ITS AGENTS HAVE BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES ARE
FORESEEABLE, OR LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM BY ANY OTHER PARTY. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or
exclusion may not apply to you. This Section 6. shall survive cancellation or
termination of this Agreement.
7. U.S.
Government Restricted Rights. To the extent applicable, the United States
Government shall only have those rights to use the Software as expressly stated
and expressly limited and restricted in this Agreement, as provided in 48
C.F.R. §§ 227.7201 through 227.7204, inclusive.
8. General
Provisions. Neither this Agreement
nor any part or portion hereof shall be assigned or sublicensed by you. ID may assign its rights under this Agreement
in ID’s sole discretion. Should any
provision of this Agreement be held to be void, invalid, unenforceable or
illegal by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity and enforceability
of the other provisions shall not be affected thereby. If any provision is determined to be
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, you agree to a modification
of such provision to provide for enforcement of the provision's intent, to the
extent permitted by applicable law.
Failure of ID to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not
constitute or be construed as a waiver of such provision or of the right to
enforce such provision. Immediately upon
your failure to comply with, or immediately upon your breach of, any term or
provision of this Agreement, THIS
AGREEMENT AND YOUR LICENSE SHALL AUTOMATICALLY TERMINATE, WITHOUT NOTICE, AND
ID MAY PURSUE ALL RELIEF AND REMEDIES AGAINST YOU WHICH ARE AVAILABLE UNDER
APPLICABLE LAW AND/OR THIS AGREEMENT.
In the event this Agreement is terminated, you shall have no right to
use the Software, in any manner, and you shall immediately destroy all copies
of the Software in your possession, custody or control.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT, YOU UNDERSTAND THIS AGREEMENT, AND UNDERSTAND THAT BY CONTINUING THE INSTALLATION OF THE SOFTWARE, BY DOWNLOADING, LOADING OR RUNNING THE SOFTWARE, OR BY PLACING OR COPYING THE SOFTWARE ONTO YOUR COMPUTER HARD DRIVE, COMPUTER RAM OR OTHER STORAGE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT, EXCEPT FOR WRITTEN SEPARATE AGREEMENTS BETWEEN ID AND YOU, THIS AGREEMENT IS A COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE STATEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO REGARDING THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF.
