Article 2 : Licenses
There are two types of Software licenses available to the Licensee, a Non-Commercial license and a Commercial license. The Licensee may only choose one of these two licenses. The license is valid for the version of the software available when this SLA is established. In order to use a new major version of the software that provides substantially added functionality, the Licensee must obtain a new license. A Non-Commercial license may be transferred to a Commercial license any time by fulfilling the obligations stated in Article 1.2 and Article 2.2. A Commercial license may never be transferred to a Non-Commercial license.

Article 2.1 : Non-Commercial License
The Licensee is eligible to install and to use this Software by 1 person and on any number of computers. In case there are more than one potential users of the Software, each user must obtain a separate license. ZSO grants the Licensee a perpetual, free-of-charge, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-commercial license to use the Software according to Article 1.1 (Definition Non-Commercial License).

Article 2.2 : Commercial License
The Licensee is eligible to install and to use this Software by 1 person and on a maximum of 2 computers.

The Licensee is also required to fill in the Registration Form on the AI-TOOLKIT website and to indicate the acceptance of this SLA in order for the Commercial License to be valid. 

Article 2.2.1 : Payment
In case of payment is required for the fulfillment of the commercial license, the payment must be done by bank transfer. The Commercial License is only valid after this payment is fulfilled. In case of a non-payment or partial payment the Commercial License is not valid and the Licensee may only use the Software according to the Non-Commercial License. In case the payment is a one time fee the Licensee must obtain a new commercial license for each new major version of the Software.

Article 2.2.2 : Non-Reimbursement
The Licensee can try the software for free according to the non-commercial license as long as it is necessary.

This non-reimbursement applies even if the SLA is terminated by ZSO or by the Licensee.

Article 3 : Delivery of the Software
The Software is delivered by e-mail or by automatic download. In case the Licensee has already one or more existing Commercial Licenses and obtains a new major version of the Software, the Licensee must obtain a new Commercial License for the new major version of the Software. In case the Licensee does not obtain a Commercial License for the new major version of the Software the Licensee may only use the new major version of the Software according to the Non-Commercial license.
