Important Notice
As part of the installation process, you will be asked to accept the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement is a legal contract that specifies the terms of the license and warranty limitation between you and Sepialine, Inc. (“Sepialine”) for the Argos software and related documentation.
You should carefully read the following terms and conditions before installing or using the software. Unless you have entered into a separate written license agreement with Sepialine providing otherwise, installation or use of the software indicates your agreement to be bound by these terms and conditions. If you do not agree to these terms, promptly delete and destroy all copies of the software and related documentation in your possession. Upon your certification to Sepialine that you do not accept this license agreement and have deleted and destroyed all copies of the software and related documentation, your money will be refunded.
​
Sepialine’s willingness to license you the software is expressly conditioned on your acceptance of all of the terms of this Software License Agreement.
Versions of the Software
The Argos software is available in a commercial and an evaluation version. Both the commercial and the evaluation versions are subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The commercial version of the software requires payment by you of a license fee. The evaluation version of the software is the only version that is provided without charge. The evaluation version is not free software and is subject to the restrictions set forth below.
​
UPON ORDERING, DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING OR UNENCRYPTING ANY VERSION OF THE SOFTWARE, YOU ARE REAFFIRMING THAT YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

License to Use
One copy of the Argos software may be used by one or more people on a single computer network, provided that you have obtained licenses for the software.
