1. Definitions.
“Oxford University Press (China) Ltd” (hereinafter called “OUP”) is a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong, having its registered office at 39th Floor, One Kowloon, 1 Wang Yuen Street, Kowloon Bay, Hong Kong

2. Licence.
If you obtain the Works from OUP or the authorized licensee of OUP and as long as you comply with the terms of this agreement, OUP grants you a non-exclusive licence to install and use the Works in a manner consistent with its design and documentation and as further set forth below.

2.1 Limited Use. The Works, or portions of the Works, may only be installed and used for education purposes; and may only be installed and used by (i) teachers who are employed by a registered school that has adopted relevant OUP student textbooks, workbooks, skill books or exercise books; (ii) teachers who are employed by a registered school that has entered into a licence agreement with OUP for using the Works; and (iii) students from the registered school that has entered into a licence agreement with OUP for using the Works. 

2.2 General Use. You may install and use one copy only of the Works.

2.3 Distribution from Server. You may copy the Works onto computer file server(s) within your Internal Network (which means the local computer network that interconnects the computers within the school premises) for the purpose of downloading and installing the Works onto computers within the same Internal Network for use as permitted by Section 2.1 and 2.2.

2.4 Server Use. You may install the Works on computer file server(s) within your Internal Network only for use of the Works initiated by an individual from a computer within the same Internal Network only as permitted by Section 2.3. The total number of users (not the concurrent number of users) able to use the Works on such computer file server(s) may not exceed the number of teachers teaching the relevant subject at the relevant level and the number of students who are authorized or licensed to use the Works in the relevant subject at the relevant level.

By way of example, the foregoing does not permit you to install or access (either directly or through commands, data or instructions) the Works: (a) from or to a computer not part of your Internal Network, (b) for enabling Web hosted workgroups or services available to the public, (c) by any individual or entity to use, download, copy or otherwise benefit from the functionality of the Works unless licensed to do so by OUP, (d) as a component of a system, workflow or service accessible by more than the number of teachers teaching the relevant subject at relevant level and the number of students who are authorized or licensed to use the Works in the relevant subject at the relevant level, or (e) for operations not initiated by an individual user (e.g., automated server processing).

2.5 Portable or Home Computer or Handheld Electronic Device Use. In addition to the use of the computer on which the Works are installed under Section 2.2, you may install a second copy of the Works for your exclusive use on a portable computer or a computer located at your home or a handheld electronic device, provided that the Works on the portable or home computer or the handheld electronic device are not used at the same time as the Works on the primary computer.

2.6 Backup Copy. Unless you have obtained written consent from OUP stipulating otherwise, you may make no more than two (2) backup copies of the Works, provided your backup copies are not installed or used for other than archival purposes. For avoidance of doubt, you are not permitted to have copies of the Works or portions of the Works in printed form for any purpose unless licensed to do so by OUP.

3. Intellectual Property Ownership.
The Works and any authorized copies that you make are the intellectual property of and are owned by OUP. The Works are protected by law, including but not limited to the copyright laws of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and other countries, and by international treaty provisions. Except as expressly stated herein, this agreement does not grant you any intellectual property rights in the Works and all rights not expressly granted are reserved by OUP and its suppliers.

4. Restrictions and Requirements.
4.1 Notices. Any permitted copy of the Works that you make must contain the same copyright and other proprietary notices that appear on or in the Works.

4.2 Use Obligations. You agree that you will not use the Works other than as permitted by this agreement and that you will not use the Works or any portion of the Works in a manner inconsistent with its design.

4.3 No Modifications. Except as expressly permitted by OUP, you may not modify, port, adapt, or translate the Works.

4.4 No Unbundling. The Works may include various applications, utilities, and components, may support multiple platforms and languages, and may be provided to you on multiple media or in multiple copies. Nonetheless, the Works are designed and provided to you as a single product to be used as a single product on computers or handheld electronic devices as permitted by Section 2. You are not required to install all component parts of the Works, but you may not unbundle the component parts of the Works for use on different computers or handheld electronic devices. You may not unbundle or repackage the Works for distribution, transfer or resale.

4.5 No Transfer. YOU WILL NOT RENT, LEASE, SELL, SUBLICENSE, ASSIGN OR TRANSFER YOUR RIGHTS IN THE WORKS, OR AUTHORIZE ANY PORTION OF THE WORKS TO BE COPIED IN ANY MEDIUM OR FORMAT.

4.6 In consideration for OUP’s granting this licence to you, you agree (a) to make every effort to keep the software, teaching and learning materials secure and (b) to take steps to ensure that no third party uses the Works in any way that is not in accordance with this licence agreement

5. Updates.
If the Works are an upgrade or update to a previous version of OUP Works, you must possess a valid license to such previous version in order to use such upgrade or update. After you install such update or upgrade, you may continue to use any such previous version in accordance with its end-user license agreement only if (a) the upgrade or update and all previous versions are installed on the same computer, (b) the previous versions or copies thereof are not transferred to another party or device unless all copies of the update or upgrade are also transferred to such party or device, and (c) you acknowledge that any obligation OUP may have to support the previous version(s) may end upon the availability of the upgrade or update. No other use of the previous version(s) is permitted after installation of an update or upgrade.

Upgrades and updates may be licensed to you by OUP with additional or different terms.

6. Limited Warranty.
OUP warrants to the individual or entity that the Works will be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and will conform to the published specification for 90 days from the date you receive it.

7. Disclaimer.
The limited warranty in section 6 is the only warranty offered by OUP and it states the sole and exclusive remedies for OUP’s breach of that offered warranty. The limited warranty in section 6 and any statutory warranty and remedy that cannot be excluded or limited under law are the only warranties applicable to the Works. Other than those offered and statutory warranties and remedies, OUP disclaims all warranties, conditions, representations, and terms, express or implied, whether by statute, common law, custom, usage, or otherwise as to any matter, including but not limited to performance, security, non-infringement of third party rights, integration, merchantability, quiet enjoyment, satisfactory quality, and fitness for any particular purpose. OUP does not seek to limit your warranty rights to any extent not permitted by law. The provisions of Sections 7 and Section 8 will survive the termination of this agreement, howsoever caused, but this will not imply or create any continued right to use the Works after termination of this agreement.

8. Limitation of Liability.
The entire liability of OUP and your exclusive remedy shall be the replacement of the Works if it does not meet the warranty. In no circumstance will OUP be liable for any damage whatsoever, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of business or profits, goodwill or any consequential losses of any nature, arising out of the use or inability to use the Works.

9. Governing Law.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Hong Kong courts.

10. General Provisions.
If any part of this agreement is found void and unenforceable, it will not affect the validity of the balance of this agreement, which will remain valid and enforceable according to its terms. This agreement may only be modified in writing, signed by an authorized officer of OUP. This is the entire agreement between OUP and you relating to the Works and it supersedes any prior representations, discussions, undertakings, communications, or advertising relating to the Works.
