experimentation.
"End-User Materials" means documentation that describes the function and use of
each Program in sufficient detail to permit use of the program.
"Test harness" means a method of testing the correct operation of the compiled
source code.
A "Derivative Work" means a work that is based on one or more pre-existing
works, such as a revision, enhancement, modification, translation, abridgement,

entire business who assumes the obligations of this Agreement. XOX authorize VM
to enter XOX's premises in order to inspect the Program(s) during regular
business hours to verify compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
15. CONFIDENTIALITY OF SOURCE CODE
XOX agree to maintain in confidence the Source Code version of the Program(s) by
using at least the same physical and other security measures as you use for your
own confidential technical information and documentation. XOX further agree not
to disclose the Source Code version of the Program(s), or any aspect thereof, to
anyone other than employees or contractors who have a need to know or obtain
access to such information in order to support XOX's authorized use of the
Program(s) and are bound to protect such information against any other use or
disclosure. These obligations shall not apply to any information generally
available to the public, ascertainable based on the operation of the Object Code
version of the Program(s) or use of the End-User Materials, independently
developed or obtained without reliance on VM's information, or approved for
release by VM without restriction.
16. WARRANTY
VM warrants for a period of thirty (30) days after installation of each Program,
for XOX's benefit alone, that such Program, when operated with the equipment
configuration and in the operating environment specified by VM, will perform
substantially in accordance with the technical specifications included or
referred to in the applicable Program Description. VM does not warrant that the
Program will be error-free in all circumstances. In the event of any defect or
error covered by such warranty, XOX agree to provide VM with sufficient detail
to allow VM to reproduce the defect or error. As XOX's exclusive remedy for any
defect or error in the Program(s) covered by such warranty, and as VM's entire
liability in contract, tort, or otherwise, VM will correct such error or defect
by fixing the defect or, after a reasonable effort to no avail, then by issuing
corrected instructions, a restriction, or a bypass. However, VM is not
responsible for any defect or error not reported during the warranty period or
any defect or error in a Derivative Work which XOX has created, modified,
misused, or damaged. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS PARAGRAPH, VM SHALL
HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR THE PROGRAM(S) OR ANY SERVICES PROVIDED, INCLUDING ANY
LIABILITY FOR NEGLIGENCE; VM MAKES AND XOX RECEIVE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS,
IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR IN ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER
COMMUNICATION; AND VM SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
17. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; EXCLUSIVE OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
The cumulative liability of VM to XOX for all claims relating to the Program(s)
and any services rendered hereunder, in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall not
exceed the total amount of all license fees paid to VM for the relevant
Program(s). This limitation shall not apply to the indemnification provided in
Paragraph 18. In no event shall either party be liable to the other for any
consequential, indirect, special, or incidental damages, even if such party has
been advised of the possibility of such potential loss or damage. The foregoing
limitation of liability and exclusion of certain damages shall apply regardless
of the success or effectiveness of other remedies.
18. INDEMNIFICATION.
If a third party claims that the Program(s) infringe any US patent, copyright,
or trade secret, VM will (as long as XOX are not in default under this Agreement
or any other agreement with VM) defend XOX against such claim at VM's expense
and pay all damages that a court finally awards, provided that XOX promptly
notify VM in writing of the claim, and allow VM to control, and cooperate with
VM in the defense or any related settlement negotiations. If such a claim is
made or appears possible, VM may, at its option, secure for XOX the right to
continue to use the Program(s), modify or replace the Program(s) so they are
noninfringing, or, if neither of the foregoing options is available in VM's
judgment, require XOX to return the Program(s) for a credit equal to the portion
of previously paid license fees allowable to the remaining term of your license.
THIS PARAGRAPH STATES VM'S ENTIRE OBLIGATION TO XOX WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OF
INFRINGEMENT.
VM has no obligation for any claim based on a Derivative Work of the Program(s)
or their combination, operation, or use with any product, data, or apparatus not
provided by VM.
19. DEFAULT
Should XOX fail to pay any fees or charges due hereunder or fail to carry out
any other obligation under this Agreement or any other agreement with VM, VM
may, at its option, in addition to other available remedies, terminate this
Agreement, provided that it first gives XOX fifteen (15) days' prior notice in
order to permit XOX to cure the default.
21. NOTICES
All notices or other communications required to be given hereunder shall be in
writing and delivered either personally or by mail, certified, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, and addressed as provided in this Agreement or as
otherwise requested by the receiving party. Notices delivered personally shall
be effective upon delivery and notices delivered by mail shall be effective upon
their receipt by the party to whom they are addressed.
22. GOVERNING LAW
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance
with the laws of England as it applies to a contract made and performed in such
country.
23. MODIFICATIONS AND WAIVERS
This Agreement may not be modified except by a writing signed by authorized
representatives of both parties. A waiver by either party of its rights
hereunder shall not be binding unless contained in a writing signed by an
authorized representative of the party waiving its rights. The nonenforcement or
waiver of any provision on one (1) occasion shall not constitute a waiver of
such provision on any other occasions unless expressly so agreed in writing. It
is agreed that no use of trade or other regular practice or method of dealing
between the parties hereto shall be used to modify, interpret, supplement, or
alter in any manner the terms of this Agreement.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
PROGRAM 1
Program 1 is a library for orthographic rendering of regular grid voxel data
with user specified color map and opacity map. It is based upon the VoluMetrix
Voxel Library (VVL, a proprietary API to enable the application programmer to
composite voxels on top of an existing image). It is assumed that the polygon
rendering is performed by software other than the VVL. The VVL is designed to
integrate easily with OpenGL. The VVL provides the ability to create and destroy
1, 2 and 3D images as well as zooming the images produced by rendering. A wide
variety of pixel formats is available as 1, 2, and 3-D images.
The main functionalities are:
1. BTF voxel rendering as available in the VVL used by XOX.
2. BTF opaque voxel planes for insertion into volume data.
3. BTF voxel lighting ANSI X3H3.8 (PIK) standard.
4. Integer zoom of the volume by pixel replication (x2, 3, 4).
5. Floating point zoom.
Computer configuration recommended: Win 32 or UNIX available memory requirement
1.5X data volume size.
PROGRAM 2
Perspective rendering of regular grid voxel data with user specified color map
and opacity map. The main functions are:
1. BTF voxel rendering with a voxel rendering rate achieved with currently
available technology.
2. BTF opaque voxel planes for insertion into volume data.
3. BTF voxel lighting to an appropriate standard.
4. Integer zoom of the volume by pixel replication.
5. Floating point zoom of the voxel data rendering that includes clipping
the volume to viewport.
Computer configuration recommended: Win32 or UNIX. System requirement is that
OpenGL is installed. Memory requirement: not determined, but expected to be 2-3X
data volume size.
