2 The Licensee may correct errors, modify the Software and create derivative works. The Licensee shall copy all error corrections promptly to the Licensor and hereby assigns copyright in them to the Licensor. The Licensee shall own modifications and derivative works it makes of the Software but not any Software incorporated in them. The restrictions in clause 3 shall also apply to any modification or derivative work, to the extent that it is based on or utilises the Software, unless the Licensor's prior written consent to vary the restrictions has been obtained. Such consent shall be subject to payment and to such other terms as may be fair and reasonable in the circumstances.
3 The Licensee shall not distribute, sub-license, sell, lend, provide access (including without limitation via a public-access internet site) to the whole or any part of the Software or use it to process the work of any third party.
4 The Licensee shall supervise the use of the Software, control access to it and keep it secure. The Licensee remains fully responsible at all times for all acts and omissions of anyone it allows to use the Software and for ensuring such person understands and observes this Licence. This responsibility includes without limitation any employee, student, independent contractor or visiting researcher.
5 Except for the rights expressly set out in this Licence, no licence is granted and all rights, title, interest in and to the Software (including without limitation any patent rights) in all formats and media throughout the world now or hereafter are and shall remain the exclusive property of the Licensor and other rights holders.
6 The Licensee shall acknowledge the Authors and use of the Software in the publication of any results achieved through use of the Software.
The Licensee shall reproduce a copyright notice on every copy of the Software (including partial copies) and on any accompanying manuals and documentation in the form "Copyright © The Chancellor, Masters, and Scholars of the University of Cambridge.

8 The Licensee acknowledges that the Software is at an early stage of development and is not error-free, that it is provided "AS IS" and that specific results and uninterrupted running cannot be expected.

The Licensor shall not be required to load, test, debug, maintain or improve the Software.

WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, IN THE EVENT THAT THE LICENSOR, ITS EMPLOYEES OR STUDENTS SHOULD BE FOUND LIABLE, THEN THEIR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR DIRECT DAMAGES SHALL BE LIMITED TO £1,000; AND NONE OF THEM SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, LOSS OF GOODWILL, DATA LOSS, BUSINESS DISRUPTION OR COMPUTER FAILURE.

Upon termination the Licensee shall immediately stop using the Software and shall certify to the Licensor within 5 days that the Licensee has removed all copies from its systems. The expiry or termination of the Licence Period is without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of either party under the Licence or at law and does not affect any rights or obligations which have arisen or accrued up to and including the date of expiry or termination. Clauses 5, 7 to 12 inclusive and 14, and 16 shall survive termination or expiry.
