IMPORTANT ‐ READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE USE.
This is the Software Licence Agreement (Licence Agreement) for the use of MYOB AccountRight in Australia and New Zealand. Because you have purchased the AccountRight software (Software) and user documentation (User Documentation) (together referred to as the Product) after being notified of this Licence Agreement, you are now legally bound by its conditions.
HOWEVER, if this Licence Agreement contains anything that you were not aware of before you purchased the Product or terms that you do not agree to be bound by, DO NOT INSTALL THE SOFTWARE. Return the Product to the seller in its entirety and you will be issued with a full refund of the purchase price. By installing the Software and keeping the Product you are confirming that you have purchased the Product subject to this Licence Agreement and that you agree to be bound by its provisions.
TRIAL VERSION SOFTWARE LIMITATION.
If you use the Software on a trial basis before purchasing it (Trial Version), then additional restrictions govern your use of the Product. The Trial Version is intended to be used only for evaluation purposes. Although you can create your own company data files (Company Files) using a Trial Version you will only have access to your Company Files until the earlier of 30 days from the date of creation of each Company File or until you have entered a total of 1000 transactions into the Company Files you have created.
After that time, you will only be able to access the Company Files that you have created if you purchase the full version of the Product. Once you have purchased the full version of the Product, the restrictions in this paragraph (Trial Version Software Limitation) will no longer apply. You acknowledge that your use of the full version of the Product will be conditional on you agreeing to the terms of the Licence Agreement (including the limitation on the number of Company Files) that relate to the full version of the Product.
1. Scope of License
MYOB Technology Pty Ltd (the Publisher), through its local publishers and distribution agents, hereby grants to you, the original purchaser, a paid-up, personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable licence to use the Software and the User Documentation only in the region, territory or country specified on the packaging or download, subject to the terms and conditions of this Licence Agreement (Licence).
1. Company Files
1.1 Activation of Company Files: You must register the Product and activate the Company Files you create or upgrade using the Software.

You can purchase additional Company files by contacting the local publisher.
1.2 New Company Files: Each new Company File can only be accessed for 30 days following creation. After 30 days you will need to register the Product and activate the Company File to continue to access it. A Company File will become read-only until you activate it.

5. Portable or Home Computer and Archive Copies
5.1 You can make a copy of the Software and install it on either a portable computer or a computer located in your home provided that the copy is for your own exclusive use and is not operated simultaneously with the original of the Software.

You must not retain any copies of either the Software or the User Documentation in the event of a transfer.
7. Term
7.1 The Licence granted in this Licence Agreement is effective until terminated. You can terminate it at any time by destroying the Software and User Documentation, together with all copies, or by returning them to the Publisher. If you fail to meet the ongoing obligations accepted by you at the time of registration (if applicable) or if you fail to comply with any term or condition of this Licence Agreement, this Licence will terminate and, upon any such termination, you agree to destroy the Software and User Documentation, together with all copies, or to return them to the Publisher. Termination of this Licence Agreement will be in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies available to the Publisher.

1.1 the application of any provision of the Australian Consumer Law (whether applied as a law of the Commonwealth or any State or Territory of Australia) (ACL),
1.2 the exercise of any right or remedy conferred by the ACL; or
1.3 the liability of MYOB for a failure to comply with any applicable consumer guarantees where to do so would:
1.4 contravene the ACL; or
1.5 cause any part of these provisions to be void.
2. Subject to clause 2(a) and to the extent permitted by law:
2.1 the Publisher's maximum aggregate liability to you:
2.1.1 for failure to comply with a consumer guarantee in respect of the Software or Product; and
2.1.2 for loss or damage suffered by you as a result of any breach of this Licence Agreement by the Publisher is limited, at the Publisher's option in its sole discretion to:
2.1.3 the replacement of the Software (or the particular component of the Software, which caused the failure) or Product, or the supply of equivalent software (or particular component of the Software) or Product; or
2.1.4 the payment of the cost of replacing the Software (or the particular component of the Software, which caused the failure) or of acquiring equivalent software (or particular component of the Software) or Product.
2.2 all representations, conditions, warranties and terms that would otherwise be expressed or implied in this Licence Agreement by general law, statute or custom are expressly excluded.
2.3 except in relation to personal injury or death, neither the Publisher nor any of the Beneficiaries are liable to you for any other loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (whether direct, indirect or consequential loss or damage or otherwise) suffered by you or liability incurred by you caused by, in connection with, or resulting from anything the Publisher does or does not do, or delays in doing, or any negligence, misrepresentation, or other default by the Publisher or its officers, employees, contractors or agents, whether or not it is contemplated or authorised by this Licence Agreement. This exclusion applies irrespective of what you are claiming, including:
2.3.1 loss of profits or business;
2.3.2 loss of opportunity;
2.3.3 loss, destruction, corruption of data or expenses incurred for reconstructing or rekeying data, and however liability arises or might arise (whether through tort or contract) if it were not for this clause.
2.4 if the Publisher or any of the Beneficiaries is ever liable (whether for direct, indirect or consequential loss or damage or otherwise) to you and, for any reason, cannot rely on any exclusion of liability set out in this clause, the maximum combined liability of the Publisher and those other Beneficiaries to you is limited to the amount paid by you for the supply of the Software.
2.5 The exclusion and limitations of liability in this clause 2 also apply for the benefit of the Beneficiaries.
3. [NEW ZEALAND ONLY] Limited Warranty & Disclaimer
The provisions of this clause 3 apply if you purchased the Product in New Zealand.
1. The Publisher warrants that the media on which the Software is recorded or the downloaded installer and the User Documentation provided with them are free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of 90 days from the date of your original purchase. Except for the limited warranty described above, the Software is sold 'as is', and you are assuming the entire risk as to its quality and performance. It is your responsibility to verify the results obtained from the use of the Software.
2. If during the 90 day limited warranty period, you discover physical defects in the media on which the Software was recorded or the downloaded installer or in the User Documentation, the Publisher will replace them at no charge to you, provided you return the item to be replaced with proof of purchase to the Publisher. THIS IS YOUR SOLE REMEDY. IN NO EVENT WILL THE PUBLISHER BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SIMILAR DAMAGES, EVEN IF THE PUBLISHER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
3. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights that vary across regions. In the event that any of the above limitations or exclusions are held to be unenforceable, the Publisher's total liability shall not exceed the amount of the Licence fee you paid.
4. Entire Agreement
This Licence Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Publisher and the Licensee and any prior representations, statement or undertaking howsoever made are expressly cancelled. No amendment or modification to this Licence Agreement will be valid unless it is in writing and signed by an authorised representative of the Publisher.
