Respondus LockDown Browser License Agreement
for Non-profit Educational Institutions
Definitions
Licensor: Respondus, Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the state of Washington, USA, having its corporate headquarters in Redmond, Washington, being proprietor of testing and game authoring tools for the education market.
Licensee: A not-for-profit school, college, university, or institution of higher education that has obtained a license for the Respondus LockDown BrowserTM software product in accordance with the terms of this agreement.
Affiliates: Current employees, instructors, and students of the Licensee.
Software Product: Respondus LockDown Browser, a customized browser that increases the security of online testing.
Duplication and Distribution Rights
The Licensee is permitted to redistribute the Software Product to Affiliates for the duration of this license.
Affiliates are permitted to use the Software Product only for educational or academic purposes. Use of the software for any other purpose (e.g., private consultant services) is prohibited.
The Licensee shall make a good faith effort to limit distribution of the Software Product to Affiliates. This includes, but is not limited to, preventing non-Affiliates access to the Software Product via the World Wide Web.
Affiliates who discontinue their association with the Licensee do not have the right to continue using personal copies of the Software Product obtained under the license, nor may former Affiliates obtain updates of the Software Product from the Licensee. However, the Licensee is not under obligation to enforce such compliance by former Affiliates beyond its implementation of restrictions set forth above regarding access to the Software Product by Affiliates.
The Licensee must display a full copyright notice on all copies of the Software Product being redistributed to Affiliates.
The Licensee must not eliminate, bypass, or in any way alter the copyright screen (also known as the “splash” screen) that may appear when the Software Product is first started on a computer.
Any use or redistribution of the Software Product in a manner not explicitly stated in this agreement, or not agreed to in writing by the Licensor, is strictly prohibited.
Termination
This agreement is effective until terminated. The Licensee may terminate this agreement at any time by notifying the Licensor of the termination and destroying all copies of the Software Product. If the Licensee terminates its license prior to the end of the academic year (generally July 31), the Licensor will not refund or prorate the Licensee for its licensing fees, nor will it reduce or waive any licensing fees still owed to the Licensor. Upon termination of the license, the former Licensee must make a good faith effort to eliminate further use of the Software Product by Affiliates of the institution.
The Licensor has the right to terminate this agreement if the Licensee violates one or more terms in this agreement. If the Licensor sends a notice of termination to the Licensee, the Licensee must immediately discontinue all use of the Software Product. In addition, the Licensee may be subject to legal action by the Licensor.
Disclaimer of Warranty
While the Licensor has tried to ensure that the Software Product is accurate and free from defect, it is provided “as is” without warranty of any kind. The Licensee and its Affiliates assume the entire risk as to the results and performance of the Software Product(s). The Licensor disclaims all warranties, expressed or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of fitness for a particular purpose. In no event shall the Licensor be liable for any damages whatsoever arising out of the use of, or inability to use, the Software Product(s).
Products and Services
Upon receipt of payment or purchase order, the Licensor will deliver or make available to the Licensee the Software Product. Updates of the Software Product will be made available to the Licensee at no additional charge, although charges may be assessed if the Software Product is requested on physical media. The Licensor will make available e-mail and fax support to an administrator and two support contacts designated by the Licensee. These individuals are known as "Authorized Support Persons." Under this license, Affiliates of the Licensee must channel all questions related to the Software Product through the Authorized Support Persons, the latter of which must make a good-faith effort to answer such questions before submitting a support ticket at www.respondus.com or sending an email to support@respondus.com. It is up to the discretion of the Licensor to provide phone support in certain instances.
Term of Contract
This license agreement is based on “academic years,” starting August 1 and ending July 31. This agreement is automatically renewed unless the Licensee indicates in writing its intent to discontinue its License. If the Licensee has not issued payment for its annual license fee by August 1, the Licensor is permitted to withhold updates of the Software Product and to restrict access to services that are available to Licensees in good standing. The Software Product will cease to function after the license has expired.
Ownership of Software
The Software Product is copyrighted by the Licensor and remains the property of the Licensor. This license is not a sale of the original software or any copy. The Licensee owns the physical media on which the Software Product is installed, but the Licensor retains title and ownership of the software and all other materials included as part of the Software Product.

There are two ways to license the Software Product: 1) a Campus-wide Site License, or 2) a “Lab Pack” license. The Campus-wide Site License has an annual fee based on the Full-Time Equivalency student enrollment at the institution.
