If you are installing this copy of the Software Product as an upgrade, update, patch or enhancement of a prior release of the same Software Product which was installed on the same computer, your rights under the prior license agreement for the Software Product are terminated, and all of your use of the Software Product (including its prior versions) are solely under the terms of this license agreement. You may not make the activation codes of various add-on modules for Software Product available to others.

You may not create derivative works based on Software Product. You may not create tools, applications, or other mechanisms to either subvert the normal functioning of Software Product, or to independently alter the support files created by and for Software Product.

DOMAIN LICENSES. This Software License grants you a single Domain License, allowing you to use Cloaker on a single Web domain. You may purchase additional Domain Licenses for your use ONLY. You may not resell, grant, or convey the benefit of these Domain Licenses to others. You may not, for example, use the software on your customers' or clients' sites, even if you totally control those domains for them. The ultimate and sole beneficiary of these Domain Licenses may be no other person or entity other than yourself.
USE OF SOFTWARE PRODUCT. User is solely responsible for use of software, and any and all results resulting from use or misuse of software. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are using software in accordance with all local, state, and national laws. It is your duty to monitor pending and new legislation and make sure you are in compliance. It is your responsibility to ensure that your Webhost/ISP allows installation and use of Software Product on their systems, even if we do installation on said Webhost/ISP. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are not violating any other parties' copyrights when using Software Product.
YOU MAY NOT USE SOFTWARE PRODUCT TO FACILITATE THEFT OF COPYRIGHTED WEB SITES OR TRADEMARKS (OFTEN CALLED "PAGE-JACKING"). YOU MAY NOT USE SOFTWARE PRODUCT TO ENGAGE IN DECEPTIVE OR FRAUDULENT ADVERTISING, INCLUDING USING KEYWORDS AND CONTENT UNRELATED TO THE SITE YOU ARE PROMOTING. Software Product includes an add-on called Extractor that allows Users to "grab" content from other Web sites, filter that content, and make it appear to be from User's Web site. User may not use this add-on to steal or infringe the copyrights of others. User agrees to use this add-on legally and to use it only for copyrights that he has the legal right to use.
We believe that our Software Product is an increasingly necessary tool to achieve good representation in the search engines: to wit, nowadays, to do well in the engines, your Web site must be designed primarily for the search engines (and not actual human users); to design a site for human users often means that your site will rank poorly in the engines. Cloaker overcomes this, allowing Webmasters to separately tailor content to the search engine spiders and separately to human users. At base, Software Product is a tool to help Webmasters. WE INSIST AND YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL USE SOFTWARE PRODUCT ETHICALLY. YOU WILL NOT USE SOFTWARE PRODUCT TO DECEPTIVELY ADVERTISE, TO STEAL OTHERS' COPYRIGHTS OR TRADEMARKS, TO PROMOTE ANY ILLEGAL OR QUESTIONABLE PRODUCT OR SERVICE, OR TO ENGAGE IN ANY ILLEGAL ACTIVITY. YOU MAY NOT USE SOFTWARE PRODUCT TO CIRCUMVENT OR VIOLATE AGREEMENTS YOU HAVE WITH OTHER COMPANIES. The site that an end-user ultimately sees when clicking on "cloaked" search engine listings must be directly related to the content and keywords used in those cloaked listings. In other words, you may not create cloaked pages about frogs, and then redirect real users to pages about gambling -- it is your responsibility to ensure that the content is related!
REFUNDS. We provide refunds within 30 calendar days of your purchase of Software Product. Refunds only apply to initial purchase, and not to paid services, add-ons, or additional licenses. Any refunds initiated on your part with our sales processors for add-ons, services, or additional licenses will result in the termination of your license to use Cloaker.
TERMINATION. Without prejudice to any other rights, CLOAKER may terminate this EULA or your rights under this EULA at any time if you fail to comply with the terms and conditions of this EULA. We additionally reserve the right to terminate your license and EULA at any time, for any reason. Upon termination of your rights under this EULA for any reason, or upon termination of the EULA itself, you must destroy all copies of the Software Product and all of its component parts in your possession (including all component parts, the media and printed materials, any prior versions, and this EULA). We reserve the right to remotely de-activate and/or remotely remove any infringing Software Product installation. The terms of this paragraph shall survive any termination of this EULA.
