modify, and distribute a Software Release in a collective work assembled with the Product.

You should carefully read the following terms and conditions before using, installing, copying,
or distributing the Software. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by CKSource, your use, installation, copying,
or distribution of CKFinder indicates your acceptance of this License.

3. Scope of License

All rights of any kind to CKFinder which are not expressly granted in this Agreement are entirely and exclusively
reserved to and by CKSource. CKFinder is protected by applicable national and international laws and treaties.

You may use, install, copy, and distribute CKFinder solely as expressly provided in this Agreement. You may not
rent, lease, loan, sublicense, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or create derivative works based on the
Software, in whole or in part, nor permit anyone else to do so.

It is agreed that in exchange for the license set forth herein, you will pay a license fee ("License Fee"). The fee
value will be specified by CKSource at the moment of the purchase.

4. License Models

CKFinder may be assembled with the Product and redistributed in respect of one and only one of the following
models ("License Models") of Your choice:

a) ("Website") Assembling the Software into a Product distributed as a single website ("Site"). The Site URL ("URL")
   must be specified at the moment of the purchase. The license will not be valid for sub-domains of the specified URL.
   This license includes 5 Developer licenses that cover Development Activities exclusively related to the Site.

b) ("Corporate Websites") Assembling the Software with any number of Sites owned or produced by You. Sites produced
   by third parties with Software produced by You are not included in this License Model.
   This license includes 10 Developer licenses.

c) ("OEM") Assembling the Software with a single Product. The Product name must be specified at the moment of the
   purchase. This license includes 5 Developer licenses that cover Development Activities exclusively related to
   the Product.

d) ("Developer") License valid for a single Developer Person to be able to perform Development Activities.


A valid Developer license is required for every single Developer Person. Developer licenses cannot be shared among
different Developer Persons. Non Development Activities on Production Websites do not require Developer licenses.

License Fees values may differ depending on the license model.

5. Unlicensed Copies

If you did not pay for a license, you may use unlicensed copies of CKFinder for the exclusive purpose of demonstration.
In this case you will be using CKFinder in the "demo mode". Without derogating from the forgoing, you may not use
CKFinder in the "demo mode" for commercial purposes. CKFinder shall only be used for evaluation purposes and may not
be used or disclosed for any other purposes, including without limitation, or for external distribution. You may not
remove demo notices from the interface nor disable the ability to display such notices or otherwise modify CKFinder.
Product support, if any, is not offered for CKFinder in the "demo mode".

6. Agreement Acceptance

This Agreement is automatically accepted by both parties as long as You are in possession of legal evidence
("Legal Evidence") that the acceptance has taken place. The Legal Evidence can be represented by (i) an agreement
signed by You and CKSource stating the acceptance of this Agreement or (ii) a valid Certificate of License Ownership,
provided by CKSource and addressed to You. The Legal Evidence must precisely indicate this Agreement Name,
the Software Name, the License Model You have chosen, and the following restrictive information, if applicable:

a) If You have chosen the Website License Model, the Site Hostname must be indicated in the Legal Evidence.
   This Agreement will be valid for the Software assembled with the Site publicized under the Site Hostname only.
   Other Sites are excluded from this Agreement as long as a Legal Evidence is not produced for each of these Sites.

b) If You have chosen the OEM License Model, the unique and well recognizable name of Your Product ("Product Name")
   must be indicated in the Legal Evidence. This Agreement will be valid for the Software assembled with the Product
   recognizable by the Product Name at the moment of the purchase. This Agreement does not lose its validity in the case
   the Product is renamed after the Legal Evidence production.

Legal Evidences may define further rights and limitation terms that are not described in this Agreement. Any term
present in the Agreement that goes in conflict with the Legal Evidence terms is to be deleted or amended.

Legal Evidences for different combinations of License Models, Sites, and Products will not restrict each other and
will not interfere in the rights granted to You by each of them.

Legal Evidences for the Website or OEM License Models are not transferable to different Sites or Products.

7. Limitation on Releases

This agreement is valid for all Releases of the Software that have the Release Date happening before the day calculated
by adding 365 days to the date the Legal Evidence has been made effective. CKSource has no obligation to provide you
any Release that is not released for general distribution to other CKSource's licensees. Nothing in this Agreement
shall be construed to obligate CKSource to provide additional Releases to You under any circumstances.

8. Support

CKSource shall provide support for Developer Persons covered by valid Developer licenses for the period of 365 days
following the day the Legal Evidence has been made effective. Support shall be limited to electronic messaging access.
CKSource shall keep You informed, either per CKSource readiness or by following your request, including changes to it,
about the rules and procedures that You must perform to enjoy support under the terms of this Agreement. Electronic
messaging access shall be limited to Development Activities regarding problem solving, bug reporting, documentation
clarification, and technical guidance (each a "Support Request"). CKSource is not in any way obliged to perform bug
fixing or custom development activities as a result of a Support Request.

9. License Key

Following a valid License purchase, a unique license key (the "License Key") may be provided to You, which allows
for the activation of the Software. The License Key is subject to the restrictions set forth in this License and may
not be disclosed or distributed in any way. The disclosure or distribution of the License Key shall constitute a breach
of this License, the effect of which shall be the automatic termination and revocation of any and all the rights
granted herein.

A single License Key may be issued for Licenses under the Developer License Model, which shall be installed on
Development Servers only and will be valid for the number of Developers specified during the license purchase.
Further License Keys for the Developer License Model may be issued to you, which will enlarge the allowed number of
Developers performing Development Activities on Development Servers that already have the Software installed and
activated by any of the Developer Licenses You have purchased before.

10. Source Code

The original source code ("Source Code") of CKFinder may be distributed by CKSource alongside with the executable
version of it, or as integral part of it. You may modify and compile the Source Code. The Source Code or its modified
version can be copied and distributed exclusively in respect to the scope of this license, as defined in the
"License Model" terms of this license, as long as a valid license has been purchased for the distribution target.
CKSource retains all rights over the Source Code and all parts of it present in modified versions of it.
Redistributions of the Source Code and modified versions of it must contain the original headers and copyright notices.
Modifications to the Source Code must be explicitly and entirely identified in the Source Code files. This section
of the license supersedes all modification restrictions imposed by other sections of it. You are not allowed to remove

in any circumstance, payments issued by You will not be reimbursed.
