Terms of Use
This License Agreement ("Agreement") is between OpinionLab
("OpinionLab") and the owner(s) of the Unique Web Sites (as
defined below) on which the DialogCentral Software will be used ("Licensee").
1. Grant of License.
OpinionLab grants to Licensee a personal, non-transferable, non-assignable,
limited and temporary license to use the DialogCentral Software during
the term of this Agreement solely for Licensee's business purposes, and
in strict accordance with the other terms and conditions in this Agreement.
2. Scope and Use of License.
Licensee agrees that it will be bound by the following terms and conditions
of use:
a. Required Registration. Licensee must register with OpinionLab
each "Unique Web Site" with respect to which the DialogCentral
Software will be used. A "Unique Web Site" is a Web site identified
by a single domain name (upper and lower) and a single server designation
(except that a Web site that uses multiple servers may still qualify as
a Unique Web Site if the additional servers are merely overflow servers
used to accommodate the need for additional bandwidth; content must be
identical). Licensee may use the DialogCentral Software on an UNLIMITED
number of pages on each Unique Web Site. Licensee may not under any circumstances
use the DialogCentral Software on any Web site that has not been registered
with OpinionLab.
b. Reports. OpinionLab will collect and report the user feedback
data provided by the DialogCentral Software for each Unique Web Site registered
by Licensee. Licensee must activate each Unique Web Site in order to access
the reports. Reports from different Unique Web Sites cannot be combined.
OpinionLab will send the reports solely to Licensee. The reports may only
be used by Licensee, Licensee's consultants and third party programmers
solely for Licensee's own business purposes and not for redistribution
or resale. OpinionLab may, from time to time, develop basic and enhanced
reports and analysis based upon such data. OpinionLab reserves the right
to restrict the quantity and frequency of Licensee's reports to ensure
speedy and equal access to such reports for all of OpinionLab' customers.
c. Term and Termination. This Agreement shall be effective as
of the date it is accepted by Licensee and continue in effect until terminated
at any time by either party. For Licensee, termination is completed by
simply removing the DialogCentral system from its Website. For OpinionLab,
termination is completed by notifying Licensee in writing or by email.
Terms 2(d), 2(g) and 2(h) of this Agreement shall survive termination
and expiration of this Agreement.
d. Modifications. Licensee shall not disassemble, decompile,
incorporate, merge, change, enhance or reverse-engineer the DialogCentral
Software, in whole or in part, in any manner whatsoever. The rating icon
shall remain visible on any Web page with respect to which Licensee uses
the DialogCentral Software and such rating icon shall retain its original
dimensions. Licensee shall not reduce or change the width or height of
the icon, change any click-through URLs on the rating scale to direct
ratings to a server other than OpinionLab's,, or change the ALT text,
without prior written consent from OpinionLab. OpinionLab may inspect
Licensee's site to ensure compliance with this Agreement. The above obligations
shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.
e. Restrictions on Copies. Licensee may make copies of the DialogCentral
Software solely for the purposes of: (i) using the DialogCentral Software
on the Licensee's hardware and operating platform for registered Unique
Web Sites; and (ii) backup. Licensee may not distribute the DialogCentral
Software, or permit any third party to access or use it.
f. Restrictions on Use. Licensee may insert the DialogCentral
Software into any number of pages within a registered site; however, Licensee
understands that for dynamically generated pages, the DialogCentral Software
cannot differentiate the content view that is being rated. Licensee shall
not use any means of generating false, misleading or inaccurate opinion
ratings of pages within a registered site. Licensee agrees that it will
restrict the use of the reporting tool to a single employee at any given
time such that at no time will more than one person employed by or representing
Licensee be running reports from or utilizing OpinionLab's database.
g. Confidentiality of Licensee. OpinionLab agrees to maintain
the confidentiality of any data that it collects under this Agreement
that identifies directly Licensee or its registered Web site. OpinionLab
retains the right to use any DialogCentral data at the aggregate level
for the purpose of creating and publishing comparative benchmarks, norms,
proprietary algorithms or white papers. However, OpinionLab will never
disclose DialogCentral data in a manner that directly links that data
to the associated URL without the express written permission of Licensee.
h. Ownership of Proprietary Rights. Licensee agrees that OpinionLab
shall own all right, title and interest in the data collected by the DialogCentral
Software, and Licensee expressly waives any rights to such data. OpinionLab
retains ownership and all rights to all DialogCentral logos, icons, trademarks,
software, trade secrets, databases, reports, and the Website and all content
therein where Licensee's reports are accessed. In order to protect OpinionLab's
copyrights and other proprietary rights in the DialogCentral Software,
Licensee will not remove or destroy any of the DialogCentral Software's
proprietary trademark, copyright markings or confidential legends or other
identification of proprietary information or intellectual property rights.
Licensee will reproduce in all copies of the DialogCentral Software, including
partial copies in any form, all proprietary, trademark and copyright markings
and confidentiality legends and other identification of proprietary information
or intellectual property rights. Licensee will not take any action that
might adversely affect the validity of any such markings, legends, identification
or ownership, and Licensee will not use such markings, legends, identification
or any similar markings, legends or identification in any manner during
or upon termination of this Agreement.
i. "AS IS" basis. Except as otherwise provided for
in this agreement, the DialogCentral Software and related services are
provided on an "as is, as available" basis without any representations
or warranties whatsoever, including without limitation any representation
or warranty concerning the operation of the DialogCentral Software or
related services. OpinionLab does represent and warrant to Licensee that
OpinionLab owns all intellectual property rights in and to the DialogCentral
Software and OpinionLab has the legal right to license such items to Licensee.
OpinionLab does not guarantee the availability, quality or form of the
DialogCentral Software or any of OpinionLab's websites or services. Licensee
shall be solely responsible for the consequences of its decisions made
and actions taken that may be based on whole or part on the data, services
or DialogCentral Software provided hereunder. OpinionLab assumes no liability
that may arise out of or relate to the use, evaluation or possession of
the DialogCentral Software.
j. Disclaimer. Except as otherwise provided for in this agreement,
OpinionLab hereby disclaims all representations and warranties regarding
the DialogCentral Software and related services provided hereunder, whether
express or implied, including without limitation, implied warranties of
merchantability, fitness for use and particular purpose, and warranty
of performance or availability of services hereunder.
k. Limitation of Liability. Neither party shall be liable under
any circumstances for special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages
of any nature including without limitation any lost revenue or profits
of any nature whatsoever. Both parties sole and exclusive remedy for any
breach of this Agreement by either party is to remove the DialogCentral
Software from each registered Unique Web Site and terminate this Agreement.
3. Pricing.
Licensee acknowledges and agrees that OpinionLab charges fees for generation
of and access to some or all DialogCentral reports. Pricing for Enterprise
Solutions can be found by calling OpinionLab at 847-681-6100. OpinionLab
reserves the right to change these fees, delete or modify report formats
and types, and otherwise expand or restrict access to such reports, and
increase or decrease fees for such reports.
4. Miscellaneous.

and understanding between the parties as to the subject matter hereof.
Neither of the parties shall be bound by any conditions, definitions,

matter other than as expressly provided herein.
b. Severability. If any portion of this Agreement is found to
be unenforceable or illegal, such provision will be enforced to the extent
permissible and all other terms of this Agreement will remain in full
force.
c. Trademarks. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement,
no right is granted herein to use any identifying mark (such as, but not
limited to, trade names, trademarks, trade devices, service marks or symbols,
abbreviations, contractions or simulations thereof) owned by, or used
to identify any DialogCentral Software or service of, a party to this
Agreement or its corporate affiliates thereof provided that, during the
term of this Agreement, the parties each grant the other the right to
use their primary corporate logo for the purpose of disclosing that the
other is a licensor or licensee of this service.
