|
|
|
THIS LICENCE AGREEMENT is made BETWEEN:
|
|
|
1. THE COUNCIL FOR THE CENTRAL LABORATORY OF THE RESEARCH
|
|
|
COUNCILS, an executive Non-Departmental Public Body established as a Research
|
|
|
Council by Royal Charter under the Science and Technology Act 1965 (“CCLRC”);
|
|

BACKGROUND
|
|
|
CCLRC has assembled the CCP4 suite of software applications and libraries with
|
|
|
support
|
|
|
from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, as part of the
|
|
|
Collaborative Computational Project Number 4.
|
|
|
The CCP4 Software Suite comprises:
|
|
|
a) applications and libraries distributed in source code, that the Licensee may
|
|
|
use
|
|
|
free of charge for Academic Purposes, subject to the terms of clauses 2.1-2.4 of
|
|
|
this Agreement;
|
|
|
b) applications and libraries distributed in source code, that the Licensee may
|
|
|
use,
|
|
|
free of charge, subject to the terms of the LGPL or the GPL; and
|
|
|
c) third party software that is included in the CCP4 suite of programs and that
|
|
|
is

|
|
|
CCLRC with a copy of that Derived Work (in source code) within one year after it
|
|
|
was made. The Licensee grants CCLRC an irrevocable, indefinite licence to make
|
|
|
that Derived Work available to any third party on such terms and conditions as
|
|
|
CCLRC may from time to time decide. This clause does not apply to any
|

|
|
(whether free of charge or otherwise); and
|
|
|
2.2.2 the Licensee may not copy any CCP4 Application except for the purposes of

|
|
|

|
|
|
any
|
|
|
3
|
|
|
correction made by the Licensee (in source code) within one year after it was
|

|
|
|
as so
|
|
|
indicated.
|
|
|
The Third Party Software
|
|
|
2.6 The Third Party Software is supplied to the Licensee on the terms and
|
|
|
conditions imposed
|
|
|
by the third party owner or licensor. By entering into this Agreement the

reproduce the
|
|
|
same in all copies of any of the Software and in all Derived Works.
|
|
|
3. WARRANTIES AND LIABILITY
|
|
|
3.1 The Software is provided for Academic Purposes free of charge. Therefore
|
|
|
CCLRC and
|
|
|
its licensors give no warranty and make no representation in relation to the
|
|
|
Software or
|
|
|
any assistance or advice that CCLRC may give in connection with the Software.
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
Licensee, its employees and students and anyone to whom the Licensee makes the
|
|
|
Software or any Derived Work available, use them at their own risk. The Licensee
|
|
|
will indemnify CCLRC against any claim made by any third party to whom the
|
|
|
Licensee
|
|
|
has made the Software or any Derived Work available.
|
|
|
3.2 Before using any of the software, the Licensee will check that the Software
|
|
|
does not
|
|
|
contain any Harmful Element. Neither CCLRC nor its licensors warrants that the
|
|
|
Software
|
|
|
will run without interruption or be error free, or free from any Harmful
|
|
|
Element. CCLRC is
|
|
|
not obliged to provide any support or error correction service, assistance or
|
|
|
advice in
|
|
|
4
|
|
|
relation to the Software. If it does provide that sort of service, assistance
|
|
|
or advice,
|
|
|
subject to clause 3.7, CCLRC will not be liable for any loss or damage suffered
|
|
|
by the
|
|
|
Licensee as a result.
|
|
|
3.3 Neither CCLRC nor any of its licensors will be liable to the Licensee to
|
|
|
the extent that any
|
|
|
loss or damage is caused by the Licensee's failure to implement, or the
|
|
|
Licensee's delay
|
|
|
in implementing, any upgrade, update, new release, revision, version or
|
|
|
modification of, or
|
|
|
advice in relation to, the Software that would have remedied or mitigated the
|
|
|
effects of
|
|
|
any error, defect, bug or deficiency.
|
|
|
3.4 The Licensee acknowledges that proper use of the Software and any Derived
|
|
|
Work is
|
|
|
dependent on the Licensee, its employees and students exercising proper skill
|
|
|
and care
|
|
|
in inputting data and interpreting the output provided by the Software or that
|
|
|
Derived
|
|
|
Work. CCLRC and its licensors will not be liable for the consequences of
|
|
|
decisions taken
|
|
|
by the Licensee or any other person on the basis of that output. CCLRC does not
|
|
|
accept
|
|
|
any responsibility for any use which may be made by the Licensee of that
|
|
|
output, nor for
|
|
|
any reliance which may be placed on that output, nor for advice or information
|
|
|
given in
|
|
|
connection with that output.
|
|
|
3.5 Subject to clause 3.7, CCLRC's liability for any breach of this Agreement,
|
|
|
any negligence
|
|
|
or arising in any other way out of the subject matter of this Agreement, will
|
|
|
not extend to
|
|
|
any incidental or consequential damages or losses, or any loss of profits, loss
|
|
|
of revenue,
|
|
|
loss of data, loss of contracts or opportunity, whether direct or indirect,
|
|
|
even if the
|
|
|
Licensee has advised CCLRC of the possibility of those losses arising or if
|
|
|
they were or
|
|
|
are within CCLRC's contemplation. CCLRC’s licensors will not be liable to the
|
|
|
Licensee
|
|
|
for any loss or damage, however caused (including by negligence) and whether
|
|
|
direct or
|
|
|
indirect.
|
|
|
3.6 Subject to clause 3.7, the aggregate liability of CCLRC for any breach of
|
|

any negligence or arising in any other way out of the subject matter of this
|
|
|
Agreement will
|
|
|
not exceed £50,000.
|
|
|
3.7 Nothing in this Agreement (including without limitation the LGPL or the
|
|
|
GPL, as
|
|
|
applicable) limits or excludes CCLRC's liability for death or personal injury
|
|
|
caused by its
|
|
|
negligence or for any fraud, or for any sort of liability that, by law, cannot
|

|
|
applicable), and the
|
|
|
terms that apply to any Third Party Software, the terms of this clause 3 apply
|
|
|
as
|
|
|
between CCLRC and the Licensee, and the validity of any part of this clause 3
|
|
|
will not
|
|
|
be affected by any part of the LGPL or the GPL or the terms that apply to any
|
|
|
Third
|
|
|
Party Software being held to be invalid by any court.

whole, or
|
|
|
any of its rights or obligations under it, without first obtaining the written

CCLRC.
|
|
|
6.3 Illegal/unenforceable provisions: If the whole or any part of any provision

Licensee, or fails to exercise, or delays in exercising, a right under this
|
|
|
Agreement, that
|
|
|
failure or delay will not affect its right to enforce that obligation or
|
|
|
constitute a waiver of
|
|
|
that right. Any waiver by CCLRC of any provision of this Agreement will not,

|
|
|
waives any
|
|
|
claim for breach of, or any right to rescind this Agreement in respect of, any
|
|
|
representation which is not an express provision of this Agreement. However,
|
|
|
this clause
|
|
|
does not exclude any liability which CCLRC may have to the Licensee (or any
|
|
|
right which
|
|
|
the Licensee may have to rescind this Agreement) in respect of any fraudulent
|
|
|
misrepresentation or fraudulent concealment before the signing of this
