  • A year is any 12-month period, starting on the 1st day that the base license for use is/was granted.
  • All licenses are country specific (i.e. explicitly tied to country in which their use is intended). By extension a user located in a country other than the originally envisaged base license country, will require an additional base license for the new country. At its discretion ROW2 may refuse to license the use of its software in certain countries.
  • The cost of the first license, in the country of intended use, is the one that prevails at the point in time of subscription that will be communicated in writing to you.
  • Cost of each additional license, intended for use in the same country as the base license was originally licensed for, is the one that prevails at the point in time of subscription that will be communicated in writing to you.
  • Each user in the organization requires a unique license.
  • Client licenses can be added at any time, by paying the annual client license charges. All licenses are tied to the base license and will expire along with the base license.
  • License fees are non-refundable and are not tied to actual use (or disuse-use)

It is the customer's obligation to ensure that no one other the customer authorized personnel in whose names the client licenses were instantiated are allowed to access, browse or otherwise use the SmartChem system.
