This software license agreement (the “agreement”) is a legal agreement between American Power Conversion
Corporation as the “licensor” (hereafter referred to as APC) and you (hereafter referred to as the “customer”) for
the APC software accompanying this agreement.
By downloading, installing, loading, copying, or otherwise using the software, you represent that one of the
following is true:
• You have been authorized to accept these terms on behalf of the customer (the entity on whose behalf you
represent that you are authorized to act).
• You intend to be personally bound to the terms of this agreement as the customer.
If you accept these terms as a representative of an entity on whose behalf you are authorized to act, you may use
the software only on behalf of such entity. If you intend to be personally bound, use of the software is limited to your

license agreement. The license agreement of that third-party software defines the responsibilities of the customer
and licensor with regard to that software.

all or any portions of the software, or to refund any license fee paid. This limited warranty is valid only if APC
receives written notice within the ninety-day warranty period.
