You may allow your agents and contractors to use the Software for your internal business purposes and You are responsible for their compliance with the terms of this EULA in such use. The EULA is deemed accepted when LeapThought makes the Software available to you. If You are past due on any Licence Subscription Fee to LeapThought or any licenced LeapThought resellers or distributors (“Resellers”) your rights to use the Software are suspended until such time as You have paid such outstanding Licence Subscription Fee.
The Software may be initially provided to You for a trial or an evaluation which allows access to the Software with limited functionality (i.e. specific to a subject area of your business).
