No Competitive Use
Notwithstanding any other term or condition in the AGREEMENT, you are not entitled to and nothing in the AGREEMENT grants you a right or license to distribute the Software or any modification thereof as standalone software.

QTS retains all ownership of the Software, including without limitation all copyrights and other intellectual property rights therein. You agree that any feedback about the Software provided by you to QTS is voluntarily given, and QTS shall be free to use the feedback as it sees fit without obligation or restriction of any kind, even if the feedback is designated by you as being confidential.
Warranty and Liability
Support
QTS has no duty of reasonable care and is not obligated to (and will not) provide technical support for the Software.
Warranty
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS,” WITH NO WARRANTIES. THIS MEANS NO EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY WARRANTY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ANY WARRANTY AGAINST INTERFERENCE WITH YOUR ENJOYMENT OF THE SOFTWARE, OR ANY WARRANTY OF TITLE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. THERE IS NO WARRANTY THAT THIS SOFTWARE WILL FULFILL ANY OF YOUR PARTICULAR PURPOSES OR NEEDS. YOU BEAR THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR, OR CORRECTION.
Liability
IN NO EVENT SHALL QTS, ITS LICENSORS, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, INCLUDING DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, RELATED TO OR ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF THE SOFTWARE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT THE LAW PERMITS, NO MATTER WHAT LEGAL THEORY IT IS BASED ON AND WHATEVER THE CAUSE THEREOF, EVEN IF QTS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES.
Legal Effect
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above under this section cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the SOFTWARE. The court should consider that this limitation of relief is a part of the bargain between the parties, in particular that the Software is provided without a license fee. If, notwithstanding any other provisions of this agreement, QTS is found to be liable to you for any damage or loss that arises out of or is in any way connected to your use of the Software, QTS’s entire liability for direct damages under this agreement shall be limited to twenty euros (20.00 EUR).
Termination
Breach of Contract
The license granted under Section 1 is subject to your full acceptance of this Agreement. This Agreement will terminate immediately upon the commercial use or any distribution of the Software. If you breach this Agreement or if you sue anyone over patents that you think may apply to or read on the Software or anyone’s use of the Software, this Agreement (and your license and rights obtained herein) shall terminate automatically. Upon any such termination, you shall destroy all of your copies of the Software immediately.
Termination for Convenience
This Agreement may also be terminated by QTS in writing at any time without cause.
Effect of Termination
Upon termination, you will cease any use of the Software, and if so requested, promptly return to QTS, or certify destruction of, all full or partial copies of the Software provided by QTS. Sections 2 to 5 of this Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
Miscellaneous
No Assignments
The AGREEMENT may not be assigned nor transferred by you without prior written consent from QTS.
Export Control
You agree to comply with export control laws and regulations, and to obtain licenses to export, re-export or import the Software.
Non-waiver
No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising by either party to the AGREEMENT of any right, power, privilege, or remedy under the AGREEMENT shall impair or operate as a waiver of such right, power, privilege, or remedy.
Law and Jurisdiction
The AGREEMENT shall be governed by, construed, and interpreted in accordance with German law, excluding its rules for choice of law and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Any disputes relating to or arising in connection with this AGREEMENT shall be finally settled in arbitration conducted under the Arbitration Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), by one arbitrator appointed in accordance with the said Rules. The place of arbitration shall be Berlin, Germany, and the language to be used in such proceedings shall be English or—if the parties choose—German. The award shall be final and binding upon the parties and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this AGREEMENT shall be deemed to limit the right to seek interim injunctive relief or to enforce an arbitration award in any court of law.
Severability
If any provision of the AGREEMENT is held to be illegal, void, invalid, or unenforceable under the laws of any jurisdiction, the legality, validity, and enforceability of the remainder of the AGREEMENT in that jurisdiction shall not be affected, and the legality, validity and enforceability of the whole of the AGREEMENT shall not be affected in any other jurisdiction. Any provision that is held to be illegal, void, invalid, or unenforceable will be replaced by a provision that most closely carries out the intention of such provision but that is legal, valid, and enforceable.
