In consideration of your acceptance to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Nevron grants you the non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Software for the sole purpose of creating integration program code and web content to aid in integrating the Software with the Work, provided that:

22. HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES:

The Software has been tested under a variety of conditions and applications. However, it is not possible to test the applicability of the Software for all potential applications.
