g)      If Licensor grants you temporary access to any Product for demonstration purposes you are considered a “Demonstration Licensee” and, as such, are subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, provided, however, that your license to use the Product shall expire at the end of the specified demonstration period. For the avoidance of doubt: aside from references to the term of the license, all references in this Agreement to a Licensee shall also include a Demonstration Licensee, and all references to a Licensed Product shall refer, in such context, to the Product for which a Demonstration Licensee shall have received a demonstration license.

h)      This Agreement incorporates by reference, and you expressly adopt and agree to, the version of Licensor’s Terms of Use agreement for the Site in effect on the date you execute this Agreement.

Section 1.09         You assume complete responsibility for all hardware and software used by you and/or any end-user using Your Site, in conjunction with any Products.  Licensor shall not be responsible in any way for the non-performance or malfunction of any such hardware or software used in conjunction with Products, or for any damages whatsoever arising therefrom.

 

Section 1.10         Term and Termination

(a)      With respect to each Licensed Product, this Agreement shall be effective upon Licensee’s payment of the applicable Fee and shall remain in force for the Term you choose at checkout, unless otherwise terminated as provided herein.
