SilverFast® Software License Agreement 

Do not open the software package and do not use the SilverFast® software until you have read and agreed to 

the terms and conditions of this Software License Agreement. If you do not agree with these terms and 

conditions, immediately return the unopened software sealed in its original packaging to LaserSoft Imaging AG. 

SilverFast® is a software package comprising software and supporting documentation for a method of 
generating an image file for the subsequent production of color separations or print files. This is a license and 
not a purchase agreement. LaserSoft Imaging AG has developed SilverFast® and is the owner of all rights in 
the software and the copy thereof: 

1. Copyright
(1) The licensee acknowledges that LaserSoft Imaging AG is the owner of the copyright in the software both 
with regard to the source and the object code. 
(2) The documentation and the software are copyrighted. Unauthorized use, including the use of all visual and 
video material, gives rise to claims for compensatory damages. 
2. License 
(1) LaserSoft Imaging AG grants the licensee an exclusive and non-transferable license to use the software 
object code of SilverFast and the supporting documentation supplied for his or her own personal use. The term 
of the license is limited to the term of this Software License Agreement. 
(2) With this license the licensee is authorized to use the licensed product on a single personal computer at a 
time. In order to use the licensed product on multiple processors and/or at different places at the same time, 
several licenses are required.
(3) The licensee is not allowed to copy the software in whole or in part except for the purpose of making a 
backup copy for personal use. The same applies to the documentation. 
(4) The software contains confidential information. With this license the licensee may not alter, adjust, 
decompile, disassemble the software nor in any other way try to find out the source code. 
(5) The licensee may not rent, lease, sublicense or lend the software to third parties. Passing on of the 
software in any case requires the written approval of LaserSoft Imaging AG. LaserSoft Imaging AG will grant 
approval provided (a) the licensee presents a written declaration of the new user in which the new user 
undertakes to adhere to the license agreement concluded for the software and (b) the licensee does not retain 
any (backup) copies and warrants to LaserSoft Imaging AG in writing that the licensee passed on original 
copies of the software to the third party and deleted all copies the licensee made. 
(6) LaserSoft Imaging AG may include a licensee’s company name and logo for public relation and marketing 
for the purpose to name the licensee as a LaserSoft Imaging AG customer. 
3. Effective Date and Term of the License 
(1) This license takes effect on the day the software package is opened. It remains in force until the day 
LaserSoft Imaging AG or the licensee terminates the License Agreement. 
(2) This License Agreement may be terminated as follows:
(a) LaserSoft Imaging AG may terminate this license upon written notice to the licensee if the licensee is in 
breach of this Agreement or parts thereof. 
(b) The licensee may terminate this license upon written notice to LaserSoft Imaging AG under the terms and 
conditions of No. 4, if he/she returns the opened software package to LaserSoft Imaging AG and deletes the 
copy on his/her PC and the copy he/she may have made for backup purposes. 
4. Warranty
(1) The software is provided “as is“. LaserSoft Imaging AG does not warrant – neither expressly nor implied – 
the usability of the software for a particular purpose nor that the software meets the licensee’s requirements. 
Although every development effort has been made to eliminate errors, LaserSoft Imaging AG does not warrant 
that the software is free of defects. 
(2) The licensee shall examine the software for visible, major defects within 14 days. These defects must be 
notified to LaserSoft Imaging AG in writing. Hidden defects are to be notified in the same manner upon 
detection. Otherwise software and supporting documentation are deemed to be approved without reserve. 
(3) In the event of major defects LaserSoft Imaging AG may at its discretion either deliver a new version to the 
licensee (replacement delivery) or rectify the defect within a reasonable period of time (rectification of defects). 
If LaserSoft Imaging AG does not succeed to allow contractual use of the software within this given period, the 
licensee has the option to request reduction of the price or to cancel the contract. 
(4) Upon assertion of warranty claims the licensee is obliged to return the software together with the notice of 
receipt at the charge of LaserSoft Imaging AG. 
5. Limitation of Liability
(1) LaserSoft Imaging AG assumes full liability for intent or gross negligence, for personal injury or death, 
under the stipulations of the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz) as well as within the 
framework of a warranty granted by LaserSoft Imaging AG.
(2) In the event of a slightly negligent breach of an obligation which is essential in order to fulfill the contractual 
purpose (cardinal obligation) the liability of LaserSoft Imaging AG shall be limited to the amount of the damage 
foreseeable and typical for the kind of transaction in question. 
(3) Any liability of LaserSoft Imaging AG beyond that is excluded. In particular LaserSoft Imaging AG shall not 
be liable for any initial defects provided the conditions of part 1 and 2 are not met.

(4) The limitation of liability stated above also applies to the personal liability of employees, representatives 
and bodies of LaserSoft Imaging AG. 
6. Trademarks 
SilverFast and other trademarks (including those of other companies) mentioned in the documentation are 
(registered) trademarks of LaserSoft Imaging AG or their respective owners. The use of these names, 
trademarks, logos, documentation, screenshots etc. requires approval by LaserSoft Imaging AG and/or the 
respective owners of the trademarks. Unauthorized use gives rise to claims for compensatory damages. 

7. Ineffective Provisions 
Should individual provisions of this Agreement, for any reason, be or become ineffective, or should a gap arise 
that needs to be filled, this shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Agreement. A provision that is closest 
in the scope of the legal possibilities of what the parties originally intended shall replace the ineffective provision 
or shall fill the gap, if necessary also retrospectively. 

8. Amendments 
Amendments to this Agreement shall be made in writing. 

9. Applicable Law

the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is hereby expressively excluded.
