Our Software and Services are licensed, not sold, to you (“Customer”), and may also be subject to one or more sets of additional terms (“Additional Terms”) appended when applicable at the end of the General Terms.

The Additional Terms are subject to change.
- Privacy.
We will access and view content files uploaded to the Software or generated by the Customer’s use of the Software and Services (“Content”) only when permitted by law, and in limited ways. For example, in order to perform the Services, we may need to access your “Content” to (a) respond to support requests; (b) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, unlawful, or technical issues; (c) enforce the Terms.

APPENDIX 01
Additional terms in relation to Version 4 of That’s Rights!, That’s Rights! Agents and EasyRoylaties when these products are installed on your computer (“Software Products”)
By copying, installing, or using any of the Software Products designated above, Customer accepts the General Terms of Use (“General Terms”), together with any applicable Additional Terms in this Appendix (collectively “Terms”) IF CUSTOMER DOES NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, CUSTOMER MAY NOT USE THE SOFTWARE.
Customer may have another written agreement with Jeux de Couleur Limited that supplements or supersedes portions of this agreement.
- i) The Software is LICENSED, NOT SOLD, only in accordance with the Terms of this agreement for use on a computer (“Computer”) with the recommended hardware configuration and operating system (“Customer’s Compatible Computer”). Use of other Software and Services offered by Jeux de Couleur Limited or other providers included in or accessed through the Software may be subject to additional terms and conditions.
- ii) Each copy of the Software requires activation and registration that may cause Customer’s Computer to AUTOMATICALLY CONNECT TO THE INTERNET. Our privacy policy is available at http://jeuxdecouleur.com/jeux-de-couleur-limited-privacy-policy/.
iii) Subject to Customer’s payment of the applicable licence fees and continuous compliance with the terms of this Agreement, Jeux de Couleur grants Customer a non-exclusive and limited Licence (“Licence”) to install and use the Software during the term of such licence (“Licence Term”) on the permitted number of Customer’s Compatible Computers (“Permitted Number”), in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement and any applicable documentation. Unless otherwise defined in the Terms of this agreement, or stated in writing at the time of purchase, Licence Term shall be perpetual. Upon any expiration or termination of the Licence Term, some or all of the Software may cease to operate without prior notice. Upon expiration or termination of the Licence Term, Customer may not use the Software Products unless Customer renews the Licence. Permitted Number of Computers is ‘ONE’, unless otherwise indicated in a volume Licence granted by Jeux de Couleur at the time of purchase.
- iv) For Software on a subscription-basis (“Subscription Edition”), Customer may install and use the Subscription Edition only on the Permitted Number of Compatible Computers during the Licence Term. Customer agrees that Jeux de Couleur may change the type of Software (such as specific components, versions, platforms, etc.) included in the Subscription Edition at any time and shall not be liable to Customer whatsoever for such change. Ongoing access to a Subscription Edition requires: (a) a recurring Internet connection to activate, renew, and validate the license, (b) Jeux de Couleur’s receipt of recurring subscription payments, and (c) Customer’s agreement to subscription terms and other additional terms and conditions at the time of purchase. If Jeux de Couleur does not receive the recurring subscription payment or cannot validate the licence periodically, then the Software may become inactive without additional notice until Jeux de Couleur receives the payment or validates the licence.
- v) Installation on a Server. Customer may install the Software in individual user accounts on a terminal server within Customer’s Internal Network (“Server”). The User who has access to such Software on the Server is referred to as “Server Software User”. Each copy of the Software installed on the Server must be registered separately. The total number of Server Software Users may not exceed the Permitted Number. By way of example, if Customer has purchased 5 Licences of Software (Permitted Number is 5) and Customer elects to install the Software on a Server, then Customer can install no more than 5 copies of the Software in no more than 5 user accounts on the Server (even though Customer may have more than 5 user accounts on their Server). Customer may install copies of the Software both on a Server as described above as well as on individual computers, so long as the total number of installed copies of the Software does not exceed the Permitted Number.
- vi) Customer may make a reasonable number of copies of the Documentation for its own internal use in connection with use of the Software in accordance with this agreement
vii) Customer will not use the Software to create files on behalf of third party entities and will not offer the Software on a service bureau basis. Unless specified in a separate volume licence, ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SOFTWARE and OF ANY FILES CREATED BY THE SOFTWARE AS A PART OF A SERVICE TO THIRD PARTIES IS NOT PERMITTED.
viii) If the Software is an Update to a prior version of Jeux de Couleur software (the “Prior Version”), then Customer’s use of this Update is conditional upon its retention of the Prior Version. If Customer wishes to use this Update in addition to the Prior Version, then Customer may only do so on the same Computer on which it has installed and is using the Prior Version. Any obligations that Jeux de Couleur may have to support Prior Versions during the License Term may end upon the availability of this Update. No other use of the Update is permitted. Additional Updates may be licensed to Customer by Jeux de Couleur with additional or different terms.
- ix) The Software may cause Customer’s Computer, without notice, to automatically connect to the Internet and to communicate with a server of Jeux de Couleur for purposes such as licence validation and providing Customer with additional information, features, or functionality. The following provisions apply to all automatic Internet connections by the Software:
(a) Whenever the Software connects to Jeux de Couleur over the Internet, whether automatically or due to explicit user request, certain Customer information is collected and transmitted by the Software to Jeux de Couleur pursuant to the Jeux de Couleur Privacy Policy (http://jeuxdecouleur.com/jeux-de-couleur-limited-privacy-policy/).
(b) If Customer accesses a Jeux de Couleur online service to activate or register the Software, then additional information such as Customer’s Jeux de Couleur ID, user name, and password may be transmitted to and stored by Jeux de Couleur pursuant to the Privacy Policy and to additional terms of use related to such Jeux de Couleur online service.
(c) The Software may cause Customer’s Computer, without additional notice, to automatically connect to the Internet (intermittently or on a regular basis) to (a) check for Updates that are available for download to and installation on the Computer and (b) notify Jeux de Couleur of the results of installation attempts.
(d) The Software may require Customer to (a) obtain a Jeux de Couleur ID, (b) activate or reactivate the Software, (c) register the software. Such requirement may cause Customer’s Computer to connect to the Internet without notice on install, on launch, and on a regular basis thereafter. Once connected, the Software will collect and transmit information to Jeux de Couleur. Software or Customer may also receive information from Jeux de Couleur related to Customer’s licence, subscription. Jeux de Couleur may use such information to detect or prevent fraudulent or unauthorised use not in accordance with a valid licence or subscription. Failure to activate or register the Software, validate the subscription, or a determination by Jeux de Couleur of fraudulent or unauthorised use of the Software may result in reduced functionality, inoperability of the Software, or a termination of the Licence or suspension of the subscription.
(e) Customer may deactivate and uninstall the Software from Customer’s Computer in order to install and activate the Software on another Compatible Computer in accordance with this agreement (“Deactivation”). Deactivation requires Internet connectivity.
(f) The Software may cause Customer’s Computer, without additional notice and on an intermittent or regular basis, to automatically connect to the Internet to facilitate Customer’s access to content and services that are provided by Jeux de Couleur or third parties. In addition, the Software may, without additional notice, automatically connect to the Internet to update downloadable materials from these online services so as to provide immediate availability of these services when Customer is offline.
(g) The Software uses digital certificates to help Customer identify downloaded files (e.g., applications and content) and the publishers of those files. Customer’s Computer may connect to the Internet at the time of validation of a digital certificate.
