These license terms are an agreement ("Agreement") between MDBG (or based on where you live, one of its affiliates) and you. Please read them. They apply to the software that accompanies these license terms, which includes the media on which you received it, if any. The terms of this Agreement also apply to any MDBG updates, supplements, Internet-based services, and support services, whether provided by MDBG or any of its affiliates, unless other terms accompany those items.

INSTEAD, RETURN THE SOFTWARE TO YOUR PLACE OF PURCHASE FOR A REFUND OR CREDIT WITHIN THIRTY DAYS OF PURCHASE. If you cannot obtain a refund there, contact MDBG or the MDBG affiliate serving your country for information about MDBG's refund policies. USING THE SOFTWARE ALSO OPERATES AS YOUR CONSENT TO THE TRANSMISSION TO MDBG AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES OF CERTAIN INFORMATION DURING ACTIVATION, VALIDATION AND FOR INTERNET-BASED SERVICES. IF YOU COMPLY WITH THESE LICENSE TERMS, YOU HAVE THE RIGHTS BELOW FOR EACH LICENSE YOU ACQUIRE.
1. OVERVIEW. These license terms permit installation and use of one copy of the software on one device (the "Device"), along with other rights, all as described below.

b. Separation of Components. The software and all included components are licensed as a single unit, and you may not separate the components and install them on different devices.
c. Licensed User. Except as set forth below with respect to the Home Use License, the software is licensed for use by one single user (the "User").
d. Home Use License. If you purchased a Home Use License, you may install and use the software on multiple Devices, provided that all such Devices are located within the same residence (the "Residence"). Your Home Use License may be used by multiple users, provided that all such users reside at the Residence ("Home Use Users"). Usage is restricted to no more than 5 devices or 3 users.

b. Multiplexing. Hardware or software you use to pool connections, or reduce the number of devices or users that directly access or use the software (sometimes referred to as "multiplexing" or "pooling"), does not reduce the number of licenses you need.

At that time you can continue to open, view and print any documents you created with the software.
e. Communications. You consent to receiving communications from MDBG electronically. MDBG will communicate with you by e-mail or by posting notices on MDBG.com website. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that those communications be in writing.

BY ACTIVATING OR USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU CONSENT TO THE TRANSMISSION OF THIS INFORMATION. Your rights to use the software will be limited until the software is activated.

After initial activation, some changes to your computer components or the software may require you to reactivate the software.

Except as otherwise noted in materials accompanying a service, MDBG may change or cancel them at any time, for any reason in MDBG’s sole discretion.
a. Consent for Internet-Based Services. The Internet Services may require that the Device connect to MDBG or service provider computer systems over the internet. In some cases, you will not receive a separate notice when they connect. BY USING THESE INTERNET SERVICES, YOU CONSENT TO THE TRANSMISSION OF THIS INFORMATION. MDBG does not use the information to identify or contact you. Computer Information. The Internet Services use Internet protocols, which send to the appropriate systems computer information, such as your IP address, the type of operating system, browser and name and version of the software you are using, and the language code of the device where you installed the software. MDBG uses this information to make the Internet-based services available to you.
b. Misuse of Internet-based Services. You may not use the Internet Services in any way that could harm them or impair anyone else's use of them. You may not use the Internet Services to try to gain unauthorized access to any service, data, account or network by any means.
