YOUR ACCEPTANCE WILL BE BY INSTALLING OR DOWNLOADING THE SOFTWARE, OR USING THE EQUIPMENT THAT CONTAINS THIS SOFTWARE.  YOU ARE BINDING YOURSELF AND THE BUSINESS ENTITY THAT YOU REPRESENT (COLLECTIVELY, "CUSTOMER") TO THIS AGREEMENT.

Conditioned upon compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Vidyo grants to Customer a nonexclusive and nontransferable license to use for Customer's internal business purposes the Software and the Documentation for which Customer has paid the required license fees. "Documentation" means written information (whether contained in user or technical manuals, training materials, specifications or otherwise) specifically pertaining to the Software and made available by Vidyo with the Software in any manner (including on CD-Rom, or on-line). Customer's license to use the Software shall be limited to, and Customer shall not use the Software in excess of, a single Vidyo Product as set forth in the applicable Purchase Order which has been accepted by Vidyo and for which Vidyo has been paid the required license fee.  Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Documentation, Customer shall use the Software solely as embedded in, for execution on, or (where the applicable documentation permits installation on non-Vidyo equipment) for communication with Vidyo equipment owned or leased by Customer and used for Customer's internal business purposes. No other uses of the Software are authorized by this Agreement and any unauthorized use of the Software shall be a violation of the terms of this license and Agreement.

Note For evaluation or beta copies for which Vidyo does not charge a license fee, the above requirement to pay license fees does not apply. 

Use of Products.  Products are not authorized for use in critical safety or other applications where any failure may reasonably be anticipated to result in bodily injury, loss of life, or catastrophic damage to property.  If Customer uses or sells the Products for use in any such applications, Customer acknowledges that such sale or use is at Customer's sole risk.   Customer will indemnify, defend and hold Vidyo and its suppliers harmless from and against any and all liabilities and costs arising out of or in connection with such sale or use.
