Subject to § 13.2 and § 14.2, the Licensor shall be liable without limitations in case of intent and gross negligence; in case of injuries to life, body or health; pursuant to the terms of the German Product Liability Act; and under a guarantee granted by the Licensor. Any other liability of the Licensor shall be excluded.
7.2 An Educational License for instructors and classrooms grants the User a time-limited, remunerable, non-exclusive, non-trans- ferable and non-sublicensable right to install the Software on any number of devices and to use the Software on one (1) sin- gle device, but not on different devices concurrently. An Educational License for instructors and classrooms is only available as Subscription License exclusively for teaching purposes. This license entitles the User to a flexible licensing program with low- cost, per-seat licensing, network and organizational licensing, free curriculum and video tutorials as well as instructor training and certification.

7.2.2 The right of use is limited in content: The User may use the Software under the Educational License exclusively for teaching purposes and not directly or indirectly for research, commercial, professional or other profit-making pur- poses. The Licensor and the User may agree separately and differently that the User may use the Software not only for teaching purposes, but also directly or indirectly for business and commercial purposes. The User may only use the latest version of the Software. If upgrades or updates of the Software are available, the User shall install these upgrades or updates to be permitted to continue using the Software under the Educational License. The functiona- lities of the Software may be limited. The Cinema 4D Team Render Client and Command Line Render Client are not licensed under the Educational License. The Educational License shall not include maintenance and support.
7.2.3 The right of use is limited in time: The User may use the Software under the Educational License only for as many hours per day as is appropriate for his teaching activities.

During the term, ordinary termi- nation of the Subscription License is excluded.
7.2.4 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.

§ 10 General License Terms
10.1 The registration of the Software and the right of use are bound to the User and cannot be transferred or sublicensed to third parties without the Licensor‘s prior consent. If the applicable license model provides that the license is personalized and allo- cated to a specific named-user, the right of use may only be transferred to another named user if the Licensor is informed by the User and agreed to such transfer. Any transfer of the right of use must be documented by the Licensor, the User and the third party assignee. Details regarding the transfer process are provided on the Licensor’s Website. Certain license models do not allow any transfer or assignment of the right of use.
10.2 The User may only install and use the Software on several devices concurrently if the applicable license model expressly per- mits this or if the Licensor expressly permits him to use the Software for other purposes.
10.3 Except as set forth in the above-mentioned right of use, the User may not copy, rework, decompile, reverse-engineer, distri- bute, modify or reproduce the Software except to the limited extent, if any, that applicable law permit such acts notwithstan- ding any contractual prohibitions. Other uses and exploitations of the Software are not permitted to the User. In particular, the User may not make publicly accessible, rent or otherwise enable third parties to use the Software.
10.4 The User‘s right of use ends with the expiry of the term of this License Agreement in the case of time-limited license models, and with all license models if the Licensor terminates this License Agreement because the User has not paid the license fees owed and due, or the Licensor or the User terminates this License Agreement for good cause. The User must then cease all use of the Software immediately and completely and delete or destroy all copies. Already paid license fees will not be refunded.
10.5 The User shall take reasonable precautions in case the Software does not function properly. He shall test the Software prior to productive use, in particular with regard to its usability for the intended purpose. Furthermore, he shall save his data accor- ding to state of the art and ensure that data from a data stock in machine-readable format can be reproduced with reasona- ble effort.
10.6 The User shall use appropriate safeguard measures for the Software and against access and use by unauthorized third parties.
10.7 The User shall not remove or change copyright notices, serial numbers or other features of the Software that serve as identifi- cation. He must carefully store the registration codes provided to him by the Licensor and protect them from access by unau- thorized third parties.
§ 11 Updates and Upgrades
11.1 The Licensor may, from time to time and at its sole discretion, develop and provide to the User updates of the Software for the purpose of remedying defects and with improved functions as well as upgrades with extended functions.
11.2 The right to use the updates and upgrades is based on the applicable license model and the User‘s right to use the Software. The User is only entitled to use an update and upgrade if the User has the right to use the Software. An update or upgrade does not give the User any additional or extended right of use to the licensed Software.
11.3 If the Licensor provides the User with an update to ensure the stipulated use of the Software or to remove a defect, the User must install the update to continue to use the Software in accordance with this License Agreement. The Licensor is not res- ponsible for defects and damages caused by the User not installing the update. The User only has a claim against the Licensor for the provision of updates and upgrades if the applicable license model expressly provides this.
§ 12 Breach of Copyright
12.1 If the User breaches this License Agreement, uses the Software without the required right of use or otherwise infringes the Licensor‘s intellectual property rights, the right of use granted in this License Agreement shall immediately become invalid and the Licensor may terminate this License Agreement without notice. The User must then cease all use of the Software immedi- ately and completely and delete or destroy all copies. The Licensor’s other rights, claims and measures against the User remain reserved.
12.2 The Software includes technical protective measures against unauthorized use and for the administration of rights. The pro- tective measures prevent the User from using the Software in a way, for a purpose or to an extent that does not correspond to the applicable license model and violates this License Agreement. The protective measures collect data about the registra- tion of the Software, the device, system and network in which the Software is installed and used, including IP and Computer/ OS identification, and about the number and duration of usages. This data is transmitted to the Licensor via a communica- tion interface of the Software via network connections and the Internet. The Licensor processes the data to fulfill this License Agreement and to protect the Software from unauthorized use. The User may not remove or circumvent the protective mea- sures and may not use the Software without the protective measures. Deactivating the „Send information to Licensor” func- tion in the Software does not deactivate the protective measures.
§ 13 Warranty outside the US and US Warranty Disclaimer
13.1 If the User is a natural person and lives outside the United States, or if the User is a legal entity and its principal place of busi- ness is located outside the United States, the following shall apply:

All reasonable costs incurred by the Licensor in connec- tion with an unjustified notice of defect shall be reimbursed by the User.
13.1.4 If the User is held liable by a third party because the use of the Software under this License Agreement infringes the property rights of the third party, the User is obliged to inform the Licensor immediately, assign the defense against these claims to the Licensor and to reasonably assists the Licensor at the Licensor’s expense in defending such claim.
13.1.5 The User‘s claims for material defects and defects of title shall expire after twenty-four (24) months if the User is a consumer, otherwise after twelve (12) months.
13.2 IF THE USER IS A NATURAL PERSON AND LIVES IN THE UNITED STATES, OR IF THE USER IS A LEGAL ENTITY AND ITS PRINCI- PAL PLACE OF BUSINESS IS LOCATED IN THE UNITED STATES, THE SOFTWARE IS DELIVERED TO USER „AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE LICENSOR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

14.1.1 The Licensor is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, limb or health, in accordance with the provisions of the German Product Liability Act or in the case of an assumed guarantee.
14.1.2 The Licensor‘s liability for slightly negligent violations of primary obligations is limited to direct damages, which are typical for this License Agreement and were foreseeable when it was concluded. Primary obligations are obligations on the part of the Licensor which enable the fulfillment of this License Agreement, i.e., which are prerequisites for the execution of this License Agreement and on which the User must be able to rely. In case of slight negligence the Licensor is not liable for lost profit on the part of the User.
14.1.3 Otherwise the Licensor‘s liability is excluded.
14.1.4 This limitation of liability also applies to the personal liability of the Licensor‘s employees, representatives and organs.

§ 15 Data Protection
15.1 The Licensor complies with applicable law when processing personal data. Information on data protection and the Licensor‘s data protection declaration are available as follows:
15.2 If the Software has the function „Send information to Licensor”, the User can activate and deactivate this function while using the Software, whereas this function is activated by default. Activating this function causes the Software to automatically send software and hardware information to the Licensor from time to time via the existing network connection. This information includes, but is not limited to, the version and area and language settings of the Software, system information about the hard- ware and data about the use, configuration and problems encountered with the Software. The contents and files created and processed by the User are not sent to the Licensor with this function. The Licensor processes and uses the information sent for statistical purposes and to improve its products and services and will only pass it on to third parties or use it for other purpo- ses with the User‘s consent. The Licensor does not link the information sent to personal data and does not use it to identify the User or create user profiles.
