Software License

This license supersedes any license which may be included either via downloaded package, shipped media Software License or found anywhere but here.

DEFINITIONS. “Echo Networks LLC”, an Arizona USA LLC, throughout this document is hereby known as Echo Networks. OutagesIO.com is a service offered by Echo Networks LLC. The “Agent” or “Software” means the code which monitors Internet connectivity, is a computer program, also known as the binary, that will be installed via an installer or manually, the media on which you received it (if any), a hardware device you have purchased from Echo Networks which contains this software, and updates and upgrades to the original Software. “Support Services” means technical support services for the Software as defined in Section 11, “SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE, SUPPORT SERVICES, AND UPDATES”. “Software Maintenance” means the provision of Support Services and Software upgrades or updates for the Software. “Maintenance Period” means the limited time period during which Echo Networks will provide Support Services and Software upgrades and updates to you.

LICENSE SCOPE. These license terms permit installation and use of one copy of the Software on one computer or device, along with other rights, as described below. Before you use the Software under a license, you must assign that license to one device. That device is the “licensed device.” A hardware partition or blade is considered to be a separate device. You may install and use one copy of the Software on the licensed device. The components of the Software are licensed as a single unit. You may not separate the components and install them on different devices.

The Software is licensed, not sold. This License Agreement only gives you some rights to use the Software. Echo Networks reserves all ownership, intellectual property, copyright, and other rights. You may use the Software only as expressly permitted in this Agreement. In doing so, you must comply with any technical limitations in the Software. You may not, without prior consent from Echo Networks: work around any technical limitations in the Software; reverse engineer, de-compile, or disassemble the Software; make more copies of the Software than specified in this Agreement; publish the Software for other parties to copy; network the Software or otherwise use it on more than one device at a time; use the Software in any way that is against the law; sell, rent, lend, lease, or distribute the Software to other parties; or use the Software for commercial software hosting services.

SOFTWARE ACTIVATION. The Software may require activation. Activation associates the use of the Software with a specific device and user account. During activation, the Software will send information about the Software, hardware/device and Internet connection to Echo Networks. This information is used to identify the Internet connection to be monitored in order to generate accurate reports. BY USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU CONSENT TO THE TRANSMISSION OF THIS INFORMATION. Echo Networks does not use this information to identify or contact you nor to monitor how you use your Internet services (See Privacy Policy). Echo Networks considers any information which could be deemed as private strictly confidential and does not rent, sell, or provide any such information to third parties. After the time recommended for activation expires, your rights to use the Software will be limited until the Software is activated. This is to prevent unlicensed use. You can install and activate the Software at any time but a live Internet connection is required during installation. Some changes to your computer components or to the Software may require you to reactivate or re-install the Software. The Software cannot be installed without a live Internet connection and the installation must be initiated from the web based control panel in order to receive the required information needed in order to use the Software and to assign generated reports to your account.

Closed network versions or custom versions of the Software get their licenses from a server computer within your organization. The Network license agreement is on that server.

VALIDATION. The Software may contain a validation feature. Validation verifies that the Software has been activated, is properly licensed and that its location is identified in order to give correct results. During validation, the Software will send information about the Software, hardware/device and Internet connection to Echo Networks. This information is used to identify the Internet connection to be monitored in order to generate accurate reports. Echo Networks does not use this information to identify or contact you nor to monitor how you use your Internet services (See Privacy Policy). Echo Networks considers any information which could be deemed as private strictly confidential and does not rent, sell, or provide any such information to third parties. BY USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU CONSENT TO THE TRANSMISSION OF THIS INFORMATION. If the Software is not properly validated, the functionality of the Software may be affected.

BACKUP COPY. You may make copies of the Software solely for backup purposes. You must reproduce and include any and all copyright notices on the backup copy.

UPGRADE OR CONVERSION. To upgrade or convert the Software, you must first be licensed for the Software that is eligible for the upgrade or conversion. Upon upgrade or conversion, this License Agreement takes the place of the agreement for the Software you upgraded or converted from. After you upgrade or convert, you may no longer use the earlier version of the Software you upgraded or converted from.

REVERSE ENGINEERING. Licensee will not reverse engineer, de-compile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, techniques, processes, algorithms, know-how or other information from the binary code portions of the Echo Networks Software Agent Technology (collectively, “Reverse Engineering”) or permit or induce the foregoing. If however, directly applicable law prohibits enforcement of the foregoing, Licensee may engage in Reverse Engineering solely for purposes of obtaining such information as is necessary to achieve interoperability of independently created software with one or more Echo Networks services requiring the Echo Networks Agent Technology, or as otherwise and to the limited extent permitted by directly applicable law, but only if: (a) Reverse Engineering is strictly necessary to obtain such information; and (b) Licensee has first requested such information and permission from Echo Networks. Any information supplied to or obtained by Licensee under this section is confidential information of Echo Networks Agent subject to the obligations of Section [confidentiality], may only be used by Licensee for the purpose described in this section, and will not be disclosed to any third party or used to create any software which is substantially similar to the expression of the Echo Networks Agent Technology.

SUBSCRIPTION SOFTWARE. If you enable certain features on a subscription basis, your rights to use the Software or certain features are limited to the subscription period. You may have the option to extend the subscription or convert to a perpetual license. If you extend the subscription, you may continue using the Software until the end of the extended subscription period. After expiration of the subscription period without extension or conversion, the Software or certain features will stop functioning and licensing rights will end.

Echo Networks offers a SaaS (Software as a service) model where the agent (Software) functions only with an account which you have created on one or more Echo Networks services.

SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE, SUPPORT SERVICES, AND UPDATES. If the Software was provided with Software Maintenance, you are entitled to Software updates and upgrades and Support Services free of charge during the Maintenance Period only, provided the Software is used in compliance with this License Agreement. Software updates and upgrades and Support Services provided under your Maintenance plan are for your use only and not for distribution to or use by others. Without a current Software Maintenance plan, Support Services, Software upgrades and updates may not be available to you. If the Software is used in breach of this License Agreement, you will not be able to receive Software updates, upgrades, or Support Services, even if you have paid the Software Maintenance fee.

It also applies even if repair, replacement, or refund for the Software or Support Services does not fully compensate you for any losses, or if Echo Networks knew or should have known about the possibility of the damages. Some states or countries do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
