______________________________

This End User License Agreement (“License Agreement”) is a legal agreement between you as the user (“User”) and Maxon or one of its affiliates (“Licensor”). By accepting this License Agreement during the registration process and/or by downloading, installing, reproducing, or otherwise using the software provided by Licensor (“Software”), the User enters into this License Agreement, and this License Agreement governs the User’s use of the Software, associated media and internet-based services. Licensor under this License Agreement is Maxon Computer GmbH, if a product under the Cinema 4D, Cineware, Cinebench or Forger brand is licensed. Licensor under this License Agreement is Maxon Computer Inc., if a product under the Redshift brand, under the Red Giant brand, under the Universe brand or under the ZBrush brand is licensed. The Maxon One Software combines subcomponents that are branded under Cinema 4D, Universe, Redshift, Red Giant, ZBrush and Forger, and the Licensor of each subcomponent differs depending on the brand. The use of the Software without the conclusion of this License Agreement is an infringement of copyright.

§ 1 Object of Agreement

1.1 The Licensor is entitled to provide the Software to the User and to grant rights to use the Software under this License Agreement. The Licensor retains all intellectual property rights in the Software, and this License Agreement provides for a limited license for the Software, but not for a sale or transfer of the Licensor’s intellectual property rights.

1.2 If the User is accessing the Software on behalf of a company or legal entity or another natural person, then User is agreeing to this License Agreement for that company, legal entity or other natural person, and User represents that User is authorized to act on behalf of such company, legal entity or other natural person and to bind such company, legal entity or other natural person to this License Agreement.

1.3 The Licensor primarily supplies the Software to the User by making the Software available for download on the Internet. The Software may be made available for installation and use on a device or made available via cloud or web-based services.

1.4 The Licensor licenses the Software with different license models. With the transfer of the Software, the applicable license model, the term of the license and the amount of the license fee are determined. This License Agreement regulates which right of use the User acquires with the respective license model and which general rights and obligations the User has.

1.5 In order to use the Software, the User must register with the Licensor and from time to time connect to the Internet in order to verify the licensing of the Software.

1.6 Licensor‘s offer and this license agreement are not addressed to consumers with ordinary residence in Germany. Licensor may therefore require the User to provide Licensor with sufficient proof of Users entrepreneurial status before concluding the contract, e.g. by providing your VAT ID number or other suitable proof. The data required for the proof must be provided by the User completely and truthfully.

1.7 The Licensor will not provide maintenance and support of the Software under this License Agreement, unless otherwise specified in the respective license model.

1.8 The Licensor may, at its sole discretion, provide documentation for the Software in electronic form to the User, whereas the Licensor retains all intellectual property rights in the documentation.

The Perpetual License grants the User a perpetual, remunerable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and personalized (“named-user”) right to install the Software on any number of devices and to use the Software on one (1) single device, but not on different devices concurrently. The User may only use the licensed version of the Software. If the Perpetual License had been transferred from another previously licensed version, the User may install and use each version, but not concurrently. As a component of the Perpetual License, the respective Licensor may provide the User with generally available updates at its sole discretion. Unless otherwise explicitly agreed in writing, this Perpetual License shall not include upgrades, maintenance and support.

§ 3 Subscription License

3.1 With a Subscription License, the User receives the time-limited, remunerable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and personalized (“named-user”) right to install the Software on any number of devices and to use the Software on one (1) single device, but not on different devices concurrently. As a component and during the term of the Subscription License, the Licensor shall provide the User with generally available updates and upgrades to the Software, whereas the license shall not include other maintenance and support services.

3.2 With the transfer of the Software, the limited term of the Subscription License shall be determined. The Subscription License shall automatically renew by the same term, unless the Licensor or the User terminates the Subscription License prior to the end of the then-current term. During the term, ordinary termination of the Subscription License is excluded.

3.3 The amount of the license fee depends on the term of the right of use. The license fee is due at the first transfer of the Software and at each extension of the term. The granting of the right of use is subject to the condition that the User pays the license fee due.

§ 6 Rendering Clients

6.1 Rendering Clients grant the User the remunerable, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable right to install and use the render clients included in the Software on devices in the User’s (in-house) render farm.

This right of use is limited in content: The User may only use the Cinema 4D Team Render Client to render 3D computer graphics and animations which the User has created for himself or for third parties. The User may not use the Cinema 4D Team Render Client (1.) outside the User’s (in-house) render farm or intranet, (2.) for processing third party data, rendering third party 3D graphics and animations, or other rendering services for third parties, or (3.) in render farms, networks or cloud services of a third party.

6.3 If the Software includes a Command Line Render Client, the User may use this Command Line Render Client on the licensed number of devices in the User’s (in-house) render farm. This right of use is limited in content: The User may not use the Command Line Render Client to offer commercial rendering services (for the avoidance of doubt, this shall not restrict the use of the Command Line Render Client for rendering own work products for commercial purposes, but, also for the avoidance of doubt, the use of the Command Line Render Client for commercial stand-alone rendering services shall not be permitted). The User may use the Command Line Render Client to render 3D computer graphics and the User is also permitted to render animations that the User has created for himself or for third parties, to process the data of third parties, that are not commercial rendering services. To use the Command Line Render Client in the (in-house) render farm, a third-party control software is required, which is not part of the Software. A license server must monitor the use and ensure that the licensed number of concurrent uses is not exceeded.

6.4 The Rendering Clients are available as Perpetual Licenses and Subscription Licenses under the applicable terms and conditions.
