SUMMARY OF IMPORTANT USE RESTRICTIONS
Please Read the Entire Agreement and Definitions Below
Scope of License
This Software License Agreement governs your use of the Software. Depending upon your requirements and circumstances, you will be permitted to use either hyperPad Developer, hyperPad Indie, or hyperPad Free. This Software License Agreement governs use of hyperPad Developer, hyperPad Indie, and hyperPad Free.
Primary Differences Between hyperPad Developer, hyperPad Indie, and hyperPad Free
Although hyperPad, Developer, hyperPad Indie, and hyperPad Free share most of the same features and functionality, there are some primary differences:
hyperPad Free: Designed as a trial to get a feeling of the hyperPad platform. May not be used commercially, or in a Non-Commercial Entity (structured organizations/classes) of 10 or more users. Includes advertisements from thirdparty sources, and funcionality limitations.
hyperPad Indie: All the great features you need to start creating. May not be used commercially. Non-Commercial Entities (structured classes or organizations) must purchase a license for each user.
hyperPad Developer: For users who wish to earn revenue and use hyperPad commercially.
Which Version You Can Use - Revenue Restrictions
hyperPad Free and hyperPad Indie may not be used by:
1. a Commercial Entity that has either: (a) reached annual gross revenues in excess of US$10,000, or (b) raised funds (including but not limited to crowdfunding) in excess of US$10,000, in each case during the most recently completed fiscal year;
2. a Non-Commercial Entity with a total annual budget in excess of US$50,000 (for the entire Non-Commercial Entity (not just a department)) for the most recently completed fiscal year; or
3. an individual (not acting on behalf of a Legal Entity) or a Sole Proprietor that has reached annual gross revenues in excess of US$10,000 from its use of the Software during the most recently completed fiscal year, which does not include any income earned by that individual which is unrelated to its use of the Software.
One User Per License
A specific license purchase is required for each individual using any version of the hyperPad Software. You may install the Software on both a primary and a secondary devices for use only by the same user. You may not use both installations simultaneously. If you are an educational institution you must purchase a hyperPad Indie license for each student who will use the software, OR subscribe to an education license that allows multiple users.
Embedded Software Restriction
You may not directly or indirectly distribute Licensee Content installed on more than 1,000 electronic devices or systems if such Licensee Content provides the user interface or primary functionality of such electronic device or system without a separate license from hyperPad. This restriction does not prevent you from distributing Licensee Content pre-installed on personal computers and consumer electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, televisions or set top boxes as long as such Licensee Content does not provide the user interface or primary functionality of such device.
Gambling Restrictions
You may not distribute or publish any Licensee Content in connection with any Gambling Activities without a separate license from hyperPad.

Any terms or conditions contained in your purchase order or other ordering document that are inconsistent with or in addition to the terms and conditions of this Agreement are hereby rejected by hyperPad and will be deemed null. You may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights granted hereunder, by operation of law or otherwise, without hyperPad’s prior written consent, and any attempt by you to do so, without such consent, will be void.

All notices or approvals will be sent to the addresses set forth in the applicable ordering document or invoice or to such other address as may be specified by either party to the other in accordance with this section. The failure by either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision.
