The Galaxy Software
Galaxy Software License. The Software is licensed, not sold, to you. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Galaxy grants you a limited, revocable, nonexclusive, personal, nontransferable license during the term of this Agreement to install and use one (1) copy of the provided version of the Software in object code format, for internal and personal purposes only. The Software is “in use” on a Device for purposes of this paragraph when it is loaded into the temporary memory (e.g., RAM) or installed into the permanent memory (e.g., hard disk or other storage device) of a Device.
Galaxy Software License Restrictions. You may not (and may not allow a third party to) rent, lease, sublicense, sell, assign, loan, use for timesharing or service bureau purposes or otherwise transfer the Software or any of your rights and obligations under this agreement. You may not (and may not allow a third party to): a) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or attempt to reconstruct, identify or discover any source code, underlying ideas, underlying user interface techniques or algorithms of the Software by any means whatsoever, except to the extent that such restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law; b) remove or destroy any copyright notices or other proprietary markings; c) attempt to circumvent any use restrictions; d) modify or adapt the Software, merge the Software into another program or create derivative works based on the Software; or e) use, copy or distribute the Software without Galaxy’s written authorization, except that you may make one (1) copy of the Software for archival or backup purposes only.
Content Restrictions. You may not (and may not allow a third party to) copy, reproduce, capture, store, retransmit, distribute, or burn to cd (or any other format) any copyrighted content that you access or receive while using the Software. You assume all risk and liability for any such prohibited use of copyrighted content.
Recurring Payments for Paid Service using the Software. When you purchase a subscription to Paid Service in connection with your use of the Software, Galaxy will automatically renew your subscription to the Paid Service at the end of its initial term and at the end of each term thereafter. The renewal term will be for the same period of time as the initial term. This period of time is known as the Subscription Period. At the conclusion of each subscription term, you will automatically be billed for the Paid Service for a renewal subscription term lasting a period of time equal to the Subscription Period. Paid Service fee is non-refundable except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Taxes may apply on the subscription fee. You agree to pay for the subscription that you select for the Paid Service and you authorize us to automatically charge the payment method our service provider has on file for your recurring payments. If the payment mechanism (such as a credit card) we have on file for you is declined for payment of your Paid Service subscription fee, we may retry the payment mechanism at the same or lower rate. If we do not obtain payment, your Paid Service subscription will be canceled. If you provide us with a new form of payment and are successfully charged within 30 days after the renewal date, your new Paid Service subscription term will be based on the original renewal date and not the date of the successful charge. If your Paid Service is terminated, you may be entitled to a refund, subject to limitations provided in this Agreement. You are responsible to canceling your subscription regardless of whether you receive any notice from Galaxy about the renewal of that subscription. In the event that your payment mechanism expires prior to the renewal date of your subscription, you are responsible for updating a new payment mechanism in your Galaxy account before the renewal date of your subscription to the Paid Service. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Galaxy makes no representations or warranties about the continued availability of any particular form of payment method made available for use with the Service. Several methods of cancelling the automatic renewal of your Paid Service subscription are available to you, and are described at the website https://support.apple.com/en-us/ . Once you have cancelled your automatic renewal, recurring subscription fees for Paid Service fees will no longer be charged to the payment method we have on file for your account, and your subscription will remain active only until the end of the term for which you have fully paid the Paid Service fee. Unless you notify us before a charge that you want to cancel or do not want to auto renew, you understand your paid service subscription will automatically renew periodically and you authorize us to collect the then-applicable paid service subscription fee plus any applicable taxes, using any payment method we have on record for you. Galaxy currently uses third-party payment processors for electronic commerce. Our third-party e-commerce payment processor accepts payments through methods detailed on the applicable payment screen, which may include various credit cards. By using such third-party payment processors, you agree to their terms and conditions of use. Such third parties may charge fees to process payments. We may, but are not required to, pay certain fees at our sole discretion. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Galaxy disclaims all liability with regard to any fees or problems you have with third-party payment processors.

You expressly acknowledge that the term Galaxy includes the Galaxy Entities.

The Software and any data, information, third-party software, services, or applications made available are provided on an “as is” and “as available”, “with all faults” basis and with no assurances that the Software will withstand attempts to evade security mechanisms or that there will be no cracks, bugs, disablements or other circumvention.

Consumer End Users (Outside of the USA). This applies only if you reside and use the Software outside of the United States.

Generally.

Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Our agreement to arbitrate disputes includes, but is not limited to all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of this Agreement, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether the claims arise during or after the termination of this Agreement. You understand and agree that, by entering into this agreement, you and Galaxy are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.
You and Galaxy agree that nothing herein shall be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our right to bring an individual action in small claims court, pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available, seek a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration, or to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.
Miscellaneous
Notice. Galaxy may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to this Agreement, by posting the notice through the Software. Notice will be deemed given twenty-four hours after posting.
Waiver. The failure of Galaxy to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective only if in writing and signed by Galaxy.
Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law except payments disputes filed by customer's domiciled in the European Community or Switzerland will be treated according to Swiss law.
Jurisdiction. You agree that in the event of a dispute that is not subject to arbitration, any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement or Galaxy will be filed only in the state or federal courts located in the City and County of San Francisco, California, and You hereby consent and submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating any such action.
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be limited or eliminated from this Agreement to the minimum extent necessary and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
Assignment. This Agreement, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by Galaxy without restriction. Any assignment attempted to be made in violation of this Agreement shall be void.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and Galaxy relating to the subject matter herein and will not be modified except as provided herein.
Time Limit for Claims. You and Galaxy agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to the service or software must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues. Otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.
