AND CONDITIONS STATED BELOW.
- License. Mentors At Work, L.L.C. ("MENTORS @ WORK") grants each course
registrant ("Licensee") a nonexclusive, nontransferable license to use the courseware
associated with the selected course in accordance with the further terms and conditions
of this License. This License is not a sale. MENTORS @ WORK or its licensors retain
title to the courseware, components thereof and related documentation, if any. This
License allows use of the courseware and documentation only by one User. "User(s)"

- Obligations of Licensee. Licensee shall not remove any proprietary
notices, labels, or marks on or within the courseware or its documentation, if any.
Licensee shall not rent, lease or otherwise transfer the courseware or any documentation.
The courseware contains copyrighted material, trade secrets and other proprietary
material. Licensee shall not copy, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble or otherwise
reduce the courseware to a human perceivable form to modify, network, rent, lease,
loan, distribute, or create derivative works based upon the courseware or the documentation
in whole or in part; PROVIDED HOWEVER that, if the courseware is lawfully acquired
outside of the United States within a jurisdiction which is a member of European
Economic Community (EEC) and subject to the EEC Council Directive of May 14, 1991,
Licensee agrees that within that jurisdiction it shall not, and shall not allow any
party on Licensee's behalf, to attempt to reverse engineer or decompile the courseware
into another computer language, except as expressly and specifically provided in the
EEC Council Directive of May 14, 1991; and any and all information obtained during
such lawful reverse engineering and/or decompiling activities, including but not
limited to, the organization, logic, algorithms and processes of the courseware, shall
be deemed to be the confidential and proprietary information of MENTORS @ WORK or its
licensors. Licensee shall protect the courseware against access by persons not
authorized to use it pursuant to this License.
- Termination. This License is effective for a period of twelve (12) months
following course registration. This License will terminate immediately without notice

Upon termination, Licensee will no longer be provided with access to the courseware via
online delivery or other means.
- Government Licensees. If Licensee is acquiring the courseware on behalf of
any unit or agency of the United States Government, the following provisions apply. The

acquiring only "restricted rights" in the courseware and its documentation as that term
is defined in Clause 252.227-7013(c)(1) of the DFARS; and (ii) if the courseware is supplied
to any unit or agency of the United States Government other than DOD, the Government's
rights in the courseware and its documentation will be as defined in Clause 52.227-19(c)(2)
of the FAR or, in the case of NASA, in Clause 18-52.227-86(d) of the NASA Supplement to the FAR.

ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS

AGREES THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL MENTORS @ WORK'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO LICENSEE FOR ANY DAMAGES,
LOSSES, COSTS, EXPENSES OR OTHER CHARGES, REGARDLESS OF THE ORIGIN OF LICENSEE'S CAUSE OF
ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE), EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY LICENSEE TO
REGISTER FOR THE COURSE WITH WHICH THE COURSEWARE IS ASSOCIATED.
- No Waiver or Assignment. No delay or failure to take action under this License
will constitute a waiver unless expressly waived in writing, signed by a duly authorized

this License, or portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision of the License
shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the
parties, and the remainder of this License shall continue in full force and effect.
- Entire Agreement. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties
with respect to the use of the courseware and its documentation, and supersedes all prior or
contemporaneous understandings or agreements, written or oral, regarding such subject matter.
