By using the Device or Software (as defined below), you agree to be bound by the terms of this Purchase Agreement. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT, DO NOT USE THE DEVICE. YOU AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE DEVICE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT, UNDERSTAND IT, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

In consideration of the mutual promises and agreements in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties for themselves, their successors, and assigns, do hereby agree as follows:

  1. SALE
    1. CERILLO hereby sells and transfers to Purchaser the device (the “Device”) as described in the Purchaser Order you have filled out on CERILLO’s website or submitted to CERILLO by other means (the “Purchase Order”) for the consideration as listed on that same Purchase Order (the “Purchase Price”), and on the terms and conditions contained herein. The Device is described in the Purchase Order. This Agreement includes a license to use the related software (the “Software”) on the terms of this Agreement and of the Subscription and Service Agreement (“SSA”), which can be found on CERILLO’s website and may be attached to this Agreement.

Section 3. EXPORT CONTROL

CERILLO is subject to United States laws and regulations controlling the export of technical data, computer software, laboratory prototypes and other commodities (including the Arms Export Control Act, as amended and the Export Administration Act 1979), and its obligations under this Agreement are contingent on compliance with applicable United States export laws and regulations. The transfer of certain technical data and commodities may require a license from the appropriate agency of the United States or written assurances that Purchaser will not export data or commodities to certain foreign countries without prior approval of such agency. Purchaser agrees to cooperate with CERILLO, including without limitation, providing required documentation, in order to obtain export licenses or exemptions therefrom, if required. Purchaser warrants that it will comply with the U.S. Export Administration Regulations and other laws and regulations governing exports in effect from time to time. Purchaser further agrees not to provide the Device to any organization, public or private, which engages in the research or production of military devices, armaments, or any instruments of warfare, including biological, chemical and nuclear warfare.

Furthermore, Purchaser shall not, and shall not authorize any third party to, alter, modify, adapt, translate, prepare derivative works from, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, or attempt to derive computer source code from the Software.
