    2. License Capacity. The Software is licensed on a "Per Copy" basis, and Customer may install the Software on 2 "Devices" (but only on one operating system per Device) per each copy of the Software licensed. For clarity, each operating system install will count as a separate Device. A "Device" is any electronic equipment controlled by a CPU, including desktop and laptop computers, smartphones, and tablets. Customer may transfer the Software from one Device to another, so long as the Software is no longer installed or running on the initial Device, subject to the following:
      1. Term License: Unlimited de-activations and re-activations of the Software on Devices for the term of the license.
      2. Perpetual: Includes a maximum of 10 re-activations of the Software on Devices. Additional re-activations can be purchased.
    3. Customer Data. The Software collects anonymized data of Customer's use of the Software (Customer Data) through Film Impact's server connection to the Software, and through the use of a third party analytics collection software. During and after the term of this agreement, Film Impact may use Customer Data for purposes of enhancing the Software, aggregated statistical analysis, technical support, and other business purposes.
    4. 30-Day Trial Version. If Customer has registered for a trial use of the Software, Customer may access the Service for a 30-day time period (unless extended by Film Impact in writing). The Software is provided 'AS IS', with no warranty during this time period.
    5. Free Version. If Customer has registered for a no-charge use of the Software, Customer may access the Software until it is cancelled by Film Impact upon notice via email, or by the Customer. The Software is provided 'AS IS', with no warranty during the no-charge period.
  3. WARRANTY, REMEDY, DISCLAIMER.
    1. Software Warranty. For new license purchases, Film Impact warrants that the Software will perform in substantial accordance with its accompanying technical documentation for a period of 90 days from the date of the initial order.

The warranty only covers problems reported to Film Impact during the warranty period. Customer will cooperate with Film Impact in resolving any warranty claim.
    2. EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND SOLE LIABILITY.

The Recipient must make commercially reasonable efforts to limit access to Confidential Information of Discloser to those of its employees and contractors who need such access for purposes consistent with this agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with Recipient no less restrictive than the confidentiality terms of this agreement.
    3. Exclusions.
