software is the creation, preparation and playback of educational
training and testing modules. All rights in the Software are reserved

by the Licensee. Copyright in the educational and artistic content of
Modules remains with their author(s) and licensors. The Modules are
distributed in an encrypted format with a proprietary data structure.
The encryption procedures and keys and the format of the data
structures are the copyright of Image Intelligence and its sublicensors.

2.3 The Software includes distinct subcomponents referred to as the


"Qedoc Quiz Maker" and "Qedoc Quiz Player". The purpose of the Qedoc
Quiz Player is restricted to the interactive playback of educational
modules. The purpose of the Qedoc Quiz Maker is the creation,

software such as sample modules provided by Image Intelligence or 3rd
party software. Such software is covered by separate agreements
attached to the software in question.

2.5 The Software is partially integrated with or links to web pages and
scripts hosted on the web site of Image Intelligence. Such pages and
scripts and the functionality provided by them, such as Learning
Communities, collectively form what shall be called the "Services".
This Agreement extends to the
use of these Services insofar as access to these services is integrated
into the Software. If the Licensee accesses the same Services using any
other software such as a web browser, this falls under the legal
agreement(s) covering use of the Image Intelligence website(s)
published on those website(s).

2.6 Support is not included under this agreement but may be provided
under a separate agreement by Image Intelligence at its own discretion.

3. GRANT OF LICENCE

Software or any copy of it, save as explicitly agreed elsewhere in this

3.3 The Licensee may not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble nor
attempt to analyse the byte code of the Modules, nor allow any such

code, not the source code.

3.3 The Licensee may make reasonable use of the Services for such time
as they continue to be made available. In the interests of the proper
running of its business and website, Image Intelligence may restrict or
apply conditions to the access to any or all of the Services, provided
that the Licensee is explicitly made aware of this when attempting to
access the services and is given an opportunity to discontinue access
if new conditions apply.

refundable, save as explicitly stated elsewhere in this agreement.
