PLEASE READ THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. BY DOWNLOADING, ACCESSING AND/OR USING THE APP, YOU CONFIRM THAT YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT CONSTITUTES A LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT BETWEEN KAIZEN AND YOU.

Licensing of Use

              Kaizen hereby grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use a single copy of the App on a single device (or multiple devices if the App is licensed for use on multiple devices), and to use the App on such device strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (and in accordance with any applicable terms of any relevant third party) and only for lawful purposes (complying with all applicable laws and regulations), and in a responsible manner.

License Restrictions

              The App is licensed, not sold, to you by Kaizen. Kaizen retains all ownership and proprietary rights, including any copyright, patent, trade secret, trademark, and other intellectual property rights, of the App. Furthermore, you acknowledge and agree that the source and object code of the App and the format, directories, queries, algorithms, structure, and organization of the App are the intellectual property and proprietary and confidential information of Kaizen.

Kaizen has the right to restrict access to certain features, functions or content of, or services accessible through, the App.

Termination of Use

              The term of this Agreement and the licenses granted hereunder continues until this Agreement is terminated as set forth herein. Failure to comply with any of the terms, limitations, restrictions, or other requirements described in this Agreement (or other breach of the license herein) will result in automatic termination of this Agreement. Kaizen may terminate this Agreement and the licenses granted hereunder for any or no explanation.

Upon termination of this Agreement, you shall cease using and shall destroy the App and all copies thereof, including any updates or upgrades, and Kaizen reserves the right to demand a written verification of such destruction.

Termination of any license will not affect your obligation to pay for licenses granted or support provided prior to the termination, which amounts shall immediately be payable at the date of termination. In case of violation of the restriction of use, the termination of this Agreement will not affect your obligation to compensate Kaizen for any harm and damages done for actions and results of your breach of the Agreement.

Kaizen disclaims any liability for any physical damages, death or bodily injury of any person caused by the use of information provided by the app. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain types of warranties, damages, or liabilities, so the above exclusion and limitations may not apply to you, but in such a case, the exclusions and limitations set forth in this section shall be applied to the greatest extent enforceable under applicable law.

You assume responsibility for selecting the app to achieve your intended results and for the results obtained from your use of the app. You shall bear the entire risk as to the quality and the performance of the app. No oral or written information or advice given by Kaizen or Kaizen’s authorized representatives regarding the use and functioning of the app shall create a warranty or other obligations on behalf of Kaizen. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of or limitation or exclusion of certain types of warranties, damages, or liabilities, so the above exclusion and limitations may not apply to you, but in such a case, the exclusions and limitations set forth in this section shall be applied to the greatest extent enforceable under applicable law.
