Common use of Back-Translation and Programme Changes Clause in Contracts

Back-Translation and Programme Changes. 6.1 As a matter of principle, the licensee may not make any changes to the software product unless this is necessary to correct errors. The prerequisite is that this is done solely for the purpose of cor- recting errors that impair the functioning of the software. 6.2 The reverse translation of the licensed program code into other code forms (decompilation) and other types of reverse engineering of various different phases of software creation are permitted only to the extent that they serve to correct errors that impair the functioning of the software (in accord- ance with Section 6.1). However, the Licensee may only carry out such decompilation to the extent necessary for the correction and, where applicable, in compliance with the conditions contractually agreed with the holder of the copyright in this Program. 6.3 A further prerequisite for the authorisation for reverse translation is the performance of the re- verse engineering or the programme observation exclusively by means of procedures which the Licen- see is authorised to perform in accordance with this Licence Agreement. In particular, the programme code may in no case be printed out with the aid of a printer. 6.4 All property rights and copyrights relating to the software product, the printed accompanying ma- terials and all copies of the software product remain with the Licensor or its suppliers. This software product is protected under German copyright law, US copyright law and the provisions of international treaties. The licensee is not entitled to reproduce the printed materials accompanying the software. 6.5 The Licensee is not entitled to remove, alter or add to any copyright notices or trademark notices placed by the Licensor. This includes, without limitation, all references in physical and/or electronic media or documents, in "Setup Wizards" or in "About..." dialogue boxes and/or in other references displayed on or activated via the Internet, in program code or other embodiments originally included in the Software or otherwise created by the Licensor.
