2.1 Software License and Rights. In consideration of the mutual covenants, and subject to the provisions contained in this Agreement, We hereby grant to You a revocable, non-exclusive License to use the Licensed Software (“Software”) solely in order to utilize the Products and Services as provided under the Usage Agreement.

2.1.1 License Grant. Subject to Customer’s continuous compliance with this Agreement and payment of the applicable license fees, DATA TRACE PUBLISHING COMPANY grants Customer a non-exclusive and limited license to install and use the Software (a) in the territory or region where Customer obtains the Software from DATA TRACE PUBLISHING COMPANY or DATA TRACE PUBLISHING COMPANY’S authorized reseller or as otherwise stated in the Documentation (“Territory”), (b) during the term of such license (“License Term”), (c) within the scope of the License Type and on the Permitted Number of Customer’s Compatible Computers (“Computers”) as specified in the Documentation, and (d) in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement and applicable Documentation. Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, in the applicable Documentation, or at the time of purchase, the License Term shall be one (1) year. Upon the expiration or termination of the License Term, some or all of the Software may cease to operate without prior notice. Upon expiration or termination of the License Term, Customer may not use the Software unless Customer has renewed the license.

2.1.2 Subscription. The Software is available on a subscription-basis. Customer may install and use the Subscription only on the Permitted Number of Compatible Computers as set forth in 2.1.4 during the License Term. Subject to the Permitted Number of Computers for the Subscription, DATA TRACE PUBLISHING COMPANY may allow Customer to install and use the most recent prior version of the Subscription and the current version of the Subscription on the same Computer during the License Term. Customer agrees that DATA TRACE PUBLISHING COMPANY may change the type of Software (such as specific components, versions, platforms, languages, etc.) included in the Subscription at any time and shall not be liable to Customer whatsoever for such change. Ongoing access to a Subscription requires: (a) a recurring Internet connection to activate, renew, and validate the license, (b) DATA TRACE PUBLISHING COMPANY or its authorized reseller’s receipt of subscription payments, and (c) Customer’s agreement to subscription terms and other additional terms and conditions that are available at https://www.dtdoctorcoder.com or at the time of purchase.

PUBLISHING COMPANY receives the payment or validates the user license.

2.1.3 Number of Users. As permitted in a separate purchasing document or Documentation and subject to license restrictions stated in this Agreement, Customer may install the Software on a Server only for the purpose of allowing an individual within the same Internal Network (“Network User”) to access and use the Software. The Network User who has access to such Software on the Server is referred to as “Server Software User.” The total number of Server Software Users (not the concurrent number of users) may not exceed the Permitted Number of one (1). By way of example, if Customer has purchased two (2) licenses of Software (Permitted Number is two (2)) and Customer elects to install the Software on a Server, then Customer can only allow up to two (2) Server Software Users the access to the Software.

2.1.4 Portable or Home Computer Use.

2.1.5 Non-permitted Software Installations. For clarification and without limitation, the foregoing does not permit Customer to install or access (either directly or through commands, data, or instructions) the Software: (a) from or to a Computer not part of Customer’s Internal Network; (b) for enabling web hosted workgroups or web hosted services available to the public; (c) by any individual or entity to use, download, copy, or otherwise benefit from the functionality of the Software unless licensed to do so by DATA TRACE PUBLISHING COMPANY; (d) as a component of a system, workflow or service accessible by more than the Permitted Number of users; or (e) for operations not initiated by an individual user (e.g., automated server processing).

2.1.6 Term of License. The term of this License shall be one (1) year from the date of this agreement. The license may be renewed for additional one (1) year periods after the expiration
of the previous License Agreement by payment of the License Fee.

2.1.7 License Fee. The License Fee for the agreement for the term set forth in 2.1.6 above shall be for $399.00 U.S. Dollars for year one and $299.00 U.S. Dollars for subsequent renewal years,
