If you acquired your Siemens PLM product in Canada, the following license agreement applies to you.
SIEMENS PLM SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT
IMPORTANT: To the extent permitted by law, using this software program indicates your agreement to these terms and conditions. If you do not agree with them, you should promptly return the entire package, along with proof of purchase to your authorized dealer from whom you obtained it for a full refund. If you use the software, you have agreed to the terms of this license and may not return the software for a refund.
1. Proof of License. This License Agreement is your proof of license. Please print out a copy of it, treat it as valuable property and keep it in a safe place. You may be required at some point in the future to prove that you have a license to the Software. This License Agreement will serve as your only proof that you have a license. You must retain proof that you purchased a license to the Software such as an invoice or receipt.
2. Siemens PLM Retains Ownership of Software. Siemens Product Lifecycle Management Software Inc. and/or its subsidiaries (collectively, "Siemens PLM") own certain rights in this software program, and any associated media, printed materials, "online" documentation and electronic documentation (the "Software"). THIS SOFTWARE IS A PROPRIETARY PRODUCT OF SIEMENS PLM AND ADDITIONAL THIRD PARTIES FROM WHOM SIEMENS PLM HAS OBTAINED LICENSING RIGHTS. THE SOFTWARE IS PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT LAWS AND OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAWS. TITLE TO THIS SOFTWARE, ANY COPY OF THIS SOFTWARE, AND ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS IN THE SOFTWARE WILL AT ALL TIMES REMAIN WITH SIEMENS PLM AND SUCH THIRD PARTIES. Your rights are defined by this License Agreement which you agree creates a legally binding and valid contract.
3. License Grant. Siemens PLM grants to you this nonexclusive, nontransferable license to use a single copy of the Software on the type of computer and with the operating system for which the Software was designed to operate. If you have multiple licenses for the Software, then you may use as many copies of the Software as you have licenses. If the number of concurrent users of the Software may exceed the number of applicable licenses, then you must have a mechanism or process in place to ensure that the number of persons using the Software concurrently does not exceed the number of authorized licenses. A single use of the Software occurs when the Software, or any portion of the Software, is loaded into memory for execution on a computer. A copy of the Software stored on or accessible through a network server for the sole purpose of execution by network computers is not deemed to be in use.
If the Software is permanently stored on the hard disk or other storage medium of a stand alone computer and only one person uses that computer more than 80% of the time it is in use, then that same person may also use the Software either on a portable computer or on a home computer.
If this Software is obtained as an upgrade or provided as an update to a previous version of licensed Software, this Software may be used only to replace the previous version, and no additional license is granted. This Software and the previous version may not be separately used.
You may copy the Software into any machine readable or printed form for backup purposes in support of your licensed use of the Software.
4. Monitoring Use of Software. Siemens PLM reserves the right to embed a software security mechanism within the Software to monitor usage of the Software to verify your compliance with this license. Such a security mechanism may store data relating to the usage of the Software and the number of times it has been copied, or may communicate with computers controlled by Siemens PLM over any type of communications link to exchange communications and report data relating to the usage of the Software and the number of times it has been copied.
Siemens PLM reserves the right to use a hardware lock device, license administration software, and/or a license authorization key to control access to the Software. You may not take any steps to avoid or defeat the purpose of any such measures. Use of any Software without any required lock device or authorization key is prohibited.
5. Restrictions. You may not assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement, nor the licenses granted hereunder, (by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of Siemens PLM. You may not rent, timeshare, lend, lease or further sublicense the Software to a third party. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, translate, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code of the Software. You may not otherwise modify, alter, adapt, or merge the Software. You may not remove or obscure Siemens PLM’s patent, trademark or copyright notices. You agree that the Software will not be shipped, transferred or exported into, or used in or accessed from, any country outside of Canada without the prior written consent of Siemens PLM. You agree that the Software originated in the United States of America and is subject to the export laws and regulations of the U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security and other agencies of the U.S. government. You agree that the Software will not be shipped, transferred or exported into any other country, or used in any manner prohibited by the United States Export Administration Act or any other export laws, restrictions or regulations including, but not limited to, restrictions on use of the Software or provision of the Software (or access to the Software) to persons or companies listed by the U.S. government as denied persons or denied entities.
6. Maintenance Service. During the Warranty Period (see Section 8), Siemens PLM will provide Maintenance Service (defined below) to you for all copies of the Software licensed by you. Thereafter, Siemens PLM will continue to provide annual Maintenance Service until terminated by either party with at least 60 days written notice prior to the expiration of the then current annual renewal term, provided that you have paid Siemens PLM therefor. This offer expires upon expiration of the Warranty Period. Maintenance Service is provided between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. in local time zones of Canada, Monday through Friday, excluding Siemens PLM observed holidays. To obtain Maintenance Service, you must be able to provide the date of shipment of the product and provide information from this License Agreement. Maintenance Service is provided only for the Software when installed on the type of computer and with the operating system for which the Software was designed to operate. Six months after shipment of a new Software release, Maintenance Service for all prior releases will cease. Maintenance Service consists of the following: (i) telephone support line service which consists of support requests answered by Siemens PLM technical support personnel for the Software specific technical needs and problems; (ii) bulletin board service which will allow you to electronically log Software support requests, download Software fixes and workarounds, or access release notes and Software information; and (iii) upgrades to the Software, if and when made available by Siemens PLM. Upgrades will not include separate Software modules that are available for license at additional charge. If you license additional Software during the term of this Agreement, Siemens PLM reserves the right to adjust the annual Maintenance Service term and pro rate the annual Maintenance Service fees for such add-on Software to be coterminous with the initial Maintenance Service annual term and billing cycle, in accordance with Siemens PLM’s' then current policies and procedures related thereto.
7. Term/Termination. Siemens PLM reserves the right to terminate this Agreement with written notice if you fail to comply with any of the terms described herein. All license rights granted will cease upon any termination of this Agreement. Within 15 days after termination of the license rights granted herein or this Agreement for any reason, you will destroy, or return at your cost, the original and all copies of the Software in all forms, and will certify to Siemens PLM in writing that such obligation has been fulfilled. If you default in the payment when due of any amount due for the Software or Maintenance Service and do not cure such default within 10 days after written notice thereof, Siemens PLM may, by giving written notice thereof to you, (i) terminate Maintenance Service effective immediately if you default in the payment of Maintenance Service fees or (ii) terminate this Agreement in its entirety effective immediately if you default in the payment of any other amounts.
8. Warranties and Your Remedies. Siemens PLM warrants that for a period of 30 days following the initial date of shipment to you (the "Warranty Period") the Software will conform substantially to the associated documentation provided by Siemens PLM with the Software documentation. Siemens PLM's sole and exclusive liability, and your sole and exclusive remedy, for a breach of this warranty will be that Siemens PLM will provide a corrected copy of the Software pursuant to Section 6.
SIEMENS PLM MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, AND NO WARRANTY IS GIVEN THAT THE SOFTWARE IS ERROR-FREE OR THAT ITS USE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR THAT IT WILL WORK IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE. ALL WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS, INDEMNITIES AND GUARANTEES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARISING BY LAW, CUSTOM, PRIOR ORAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENTS (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OF ERROR-FREE AND UNINTERRUPTED USE OR ANY WARRANTY AGAINST INFRINGEMENT) ARE HEREBY OVERRIDDEN, EXCLUDED AND DISCLAIMED, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT.

No Siemens PLM dealer, agent, or employee is authorized to make any modifications, extensions, or additions to these warranty provisions or to this License Agreement.
If Ontario law is not held to apply to this License Agreement for any reason, then in jurisdictions where warranties, guarantees, representations, and/or conditions of any type may not be disclaimed, any such warranty, guarantee, representation and/or condition is hereby limited to the period of either (i) 30 days from the date of shipment or (ii) the shortest period allowed by law in the applicable jurisdiction if a 30 day limitation would be unenforceable. In addition, the previous sentence will be enforced in part, if only certain parts of it are enforceable.
All warranties are void if a failure of a warranted item results, directly or indirectly, from an unauthorized modification to a warranted item, an unauthorized attempt to repair a warranted item, or misuse of a warranted item, including, without limitation, use of a warranted item under abnormal operating conditions or subjecting a warranted item to unreasonably harsh conditions of any kind.
The above warranties and limitations give you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction if Ontario law is held not to apply to this License Agreement.

9. Limitation of Liability. Siemens PLM's entire liability for all claims or damages arising out of or related to this Agreement, regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, equity, negligence, intended conduct, tort or otherwise, will be limited to and will not exceed, in the aggregate for all claims, actions and causes of action of every kind and nature; the amount paid to Siemens PLM for the specific item that caused the damage or that is the subject matter of, or is directly related to, the cause of action. IN NO EVENT SHALL SIEMENS PLM OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, OR OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS) ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF SIEMENS PLM HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
10. Time Limitation on Claims. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, no claim, regardless of form, arising out of or in connection with this License Agreement may be brought by you unless such claim is brought either (i) within two years after the cause of action has accrued or (ii) within the shortest period of time after the cause of action has accrued that may be legally contracted for in the applicable jurisdiction if a two year limitation would be legally unenforceable.
