You agree that the Software is and shall remain the property of Lincoln Electric, and that you will hold the Software in confidence for Lincoln. You agree to make reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized use of the Software, and to prevent disclosure to third parties.

ROYALTY-FREE:

Provided you have paid the initial license fee, you will be under no obligation to pay Lincoln a royalty for the use of the Software when used as permitted under this license.

WARRANTY:

Lincoln warrants to the original purchaser that the Software will perform substantially as described in the Software documentation for a period of 90 days from the date of purchase.

No warranty is made by Lincoln with respect to the Java Runtime software.

THE ABOVE WARRANTIES ARE THE ONLY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. LINCOLN SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, NOR FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHICH RELATE TO USE OF THE SOFTWARE. SELECTION AND APPLICATION OF THE SOFTWARE IS YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NO WARRANTY IS GIVEN WITH REGARD TO WELDING CHARACTERISTICS DESIGNED USING THIS SOFTWARE OR THE SUITABILITY OF WELDS PRODUCED USING SUCH CHARACTERISTICS.

TRANSFER:

You may transfer the Software, subject to this license, to another party if the receiving party also purchases from you the Invertec Power Wave power source with which this Software is used. Prior to any such transfer, the transferee must agree to the terms of this license and you must notify Lincoln, in writing, of the name and address of the party to whom the Software has been transferred. You must retain no copies of the Software and accompanying documentation. Transfer of the license terminates your right to use the Software.
