1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
Services and software provided by Applejack Media and Globalcentric LLC ("Owner") are provided to you ("Licensee") subject to the following terms and conditions of service. By downloading and installing any software from this website, by purchasing a license for said software, or in any way using said software, you indicate that you accept and agree to be bound by these terms and conditions of service (collectively, "Agreement").
2. DEFINITIONS
"Software" refers to all of the information with which this agreement is provided, including but not limited to: (a) software files and other computer data downloaded or otherwise obtained from Owner's website; (b) related explanatory written materials and tutorials (collectively, "Documentation"); (c) supporting files, plug-ins, scripts, programs, or websites offered by Owner and designed to facilitate usage of software; (e) any modified versions of, copies of, upgrades, updates, and additions to such information provided to Licensee by Owner at any time, to the extent not provided under a separate agreement (collectively, "Updates").
"Domain" refers to a single domain name designated by a unique URL and hosted on a public or private Web server managed by the Licensee or by the employer or representee of the Licensee.
3. LICENSE GRANT
Owner grants Licensee a non-exclusive and non-transferable license ("License") to use the Software for personal or internal business purposes on ONE DOMAIN for each License purchased, provided that the Software contains all of the original proprietary notices. Any other use not specified in the Agreement is prohibited. This License does not entitle Licensee to receive from Owner hard-copy documentation, technical support, telephone assistance, or enhancements or updates to the Software. All rights, title, and interest in the Software, including without limitation, any copyright, shall be retained exclusively by Owner.
Licensee agrees to: (a) notify Licensee's employers or representees of the terms of this Agreement prior to use of the Software by said employers or representees; (b) hold the Software confidential and not at any time, during the period of the License or after its expiration, disclose said Software, whether directly or indirectly, to any third-party without the explicit written consent of Owner.
4. USAGE
Licensee may: (a) run as many instances of the software as needed on ONE DOMAIN, provided that it is the same Domain for which License is granted; (b) use the Software on any number of webpages, provided that each page containing the Software is part of the licensed Domain; (c) have an unlimited number of clients connected to any instances of the Software residing on said Domain.
5. LICENSE TRANSFER
License is granted for ONE DOMAIN only and is non-transferrable. If Licensee intends to use Software on a Domain other than that for which a License has been granted, Licensee must purchase a separate License for said Domain.
6. REFUND / RETURN POLICY
Since Licenses are provided electronically to Licensee upon purchase, and since Licensee is given the opportunity to fully install and test Software prior to purchasing said License, NO REFUNDS CAN BE ISSUED ONCE A LICENSE HAS BEEN GRANTED BY OWNER. Additonally, refunds cannot be issued for erroneous purchases, including but not limited to purchases in which: (a) the licensed Domain has been misspelled or otherwise mistyped by Licensee; (b) Software does not work as expected on the licensed Domain; (c) Licensee has not used or no longer wishes to use Software on the licensed Domain.
7. DISPUTES AND CHARGEBACKS
In the event of a charge dispute, it is important that Licensee communicate with Owner directly before contacting Licensee's credit card issuer or bank. Licensee agrees not to initiate any payment dispute or chargeback request through said credit card issuer or bank for any reason without first bringing said dispute before Owner. In any case, any chargeback attempted for a License purchased from Owner will be firmly defended, and a $10 administrative fee will be assessed automatically and without exception. If the chargeback is completed successfully, and if the disputed amount is not determined by Owner to have been charged in error, the entire disputed amount will be re-assessed along with a $25 chargeback fee.
8. REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS
Licensee agrees to: (a) provide true, accurate, current, and complete information as prompted by our License registration form (such information being the "Registration Data"); (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, we have the right to suspend or terminate your License and refuse any and all current or future use of our Software or any portion thereof.

11. OWNERSHIP
Title, ownership rights, and Intellectual Property of Software shall remain with Owner. Structure, organization, and code of Software are the trade secrets and confidential information of Owner.

12. UPDATES
