3.	Ownership of Software.  You acknowledge that the Software is proprietary to and a valuable trade secret of MessagePixels LLC protected by applicable United States patent, copyright laws and other intellectual property laws and international treaty provisions. MessagePixels LLC and its third party licensors, if any, retain all title to and, except as expressly and unambiguously licensed herein, all rights and interest in (a) the Software; (b) the MessagePixels LLC trademarks, service marks, trade names and logos; (c) any and all copyrights, patent rights, trade secret rights and other intellectual property and proprietary rights throughout the world in the foregoing.; and (d) any suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, feedback, recommendations or other information provided to MessagePixels LLC relating to the Software

THE ENTIRE RISK ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION REMAINS WITH YOU.

	MessagePixels LLC’s entire liability and your exclusive remedy shall be an alternative download location or replacement of any media not meeting the Limited Warranty described herein if MessagePixels LLC is promptly notified.  MessagePixels LLC does not warrant the functions contained in the Software will meet your requirements or that operation of the Software will be uninterrupted or error free.

5.  Indemnification.  If you receive notice of any claim that your use of any part of the Software directly infringes the rights of a third party in or to any patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret, or violates any other intellectual property right, MessagePixels LLC shall defend or settle any such claim, and shall indemnify and hold you harmless by paying any resulting costs and damages finally awarded to the third party by a court with respect to any such claim provided that you: (a) notify MessagePixels LLC in writing promptly upon becoming aware of the claim; (b) at MessagePixels LLC’s request and expense, give MessagePixels LLC such information and assistance as is reasonable under the circumstances; and (c) give MessagePixels LLC the right, at MessagePixels LLC’s sole discretion, to settle the claim at MessagePixels LLC’s expense.  This indemnification does not extend to any claim based upon any alleged infringement arising from the combination of the Software with other elements not under MessagePixels LLC’s sole control such as any part of the Software that you or a third-party modify, or that incorporates specifications, designs or formulas that you provide.  If you are prevented from using the Software because of an actual or claimed infringement, then at MessagePixels LLC’s option, MessagePixels LLC shall promptly either obtain for you the right to continue using the affected part of the Software, replace or modify the affected part of the Software so that it becomes non-infringing, or if none of the foregoing alternatives are possible after MessagePixels LLC’s commercially reasonable efforts, you may return to MessagePixels LLC all copies of the Software that you have in your possession or under your control and MessagePixels LLC shall remit to you a pro rata portion of the license fee you paid (up to the suggested list price) for the Software based on the commercially reasonable life of the Software, which shall not be less than three (3) years, calculated from the date that MessagePixels LLC provided the activation code to enable you to begin to exercise MessagePixels LLC rights.  THIS SECTION SETS OUT THE ENTIRE EXPOSURE OF MessagePixels LLC AND YOUR SOLE REMEDY FOR INDEMNIFICATION HEREUNDER.

6.	Limitation of Liability. Because computer software is inherently complex and may not be free from errors, you are advised to verify the work produced by the Software.  NEITHER MESSAGEPIXELS LLC NOR ITS SUPPLIERS SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY DEFECT IN THE SOFTWARE OR MEDIA, EVEN IF MESSAGEPIXELS LLC HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.  THIS MEANS MESSAGEPIXELS LLC IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OR COSTS INCURRED AS A RESULT OF LOSS OF TIME, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR BENEFITS RESULTING FROM USE OF THE SOFTWARE OR LOSS OF USE OF THE SOFTWARE, NOR FOR DAMAGES OR COSTS INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH OBTAINING SUBSTITUTE SOFTWARE, CLAIMS BY OTHERS OR SIMILAR COSTS.  IN NO EVENT SHALL MESSAGEPIXELS LLC’S LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THIS EULA, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED MESSAGEPIXELS LLC’S SUGGESTED LIST PRICE OF THE LICENSE FOR THE SOFTWARE.

	MessagePixels LLC will have no responsibility under the Limited Warranty for any Software or media that has been modified, lost, stolen or damaged by accident, abuse or misapplication.  No employee, agent or representative of MessagePixels LLC, nor any reseller (including a channel partner) or any other third party, is authorized to make any warranty with respect to the Software, except those expressly stated in this EULA, and you may not rely on any such unauthorized warranty.

7.	Allocation of Risk.  This EULA allocates risk between you and MessagePixels LLC as authorized by applicable law, and that the pricing of MessagePixels LLC’s products reflects this allocation of risk and the limitations of liability contained in this EULA.  If any remedy hereunder is determined to have failed of its essential purpose, all limitations of liability and exclusion of damages set forth in this EULA shall remain in full force and effect.

8.	Local Laws and Export Control.  This EULA gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary.  Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so some of the above may not apply to you.
		
	The Software may include technology that may be subject to United States export controls administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce, the United States Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control, and other U.S. agencies and the export control regulations of the European Union.  You acknowledge and agree that the Software shall not be used, and none of the underlying information or technology may be transferred or otherwise exported or re-exported to countries as to which the United States and/or the European Union maintains an embargo (collectively, "Embargoed Countries"), or to or by a national or resident thereof, or any person or entity on the U.S. Department of Treasury's List of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce's Table of Denial Orders (collectively, "Designated Nationals").  The lists of Embargoed Countries and Designated Nationals are subject to change without notice.  By using the Software, you represent and warrant that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of an Embargoed Country or Designated National.  You agree to comply strictly with all U.S. and European Union export laws and assume sole responsibility for obtaining any necessary licenses to export or re-export.

9.	Term/Termination.  This EULA continues in effect until terminated, whether as a result of your acceptance of a superseding EULA or otherwise as set forth below.  At any time that you choose, you may terminate this EULA and all MessagePixels LLC rights that had been granted to you hereunder and under any prior EULA.  This EULA and the license granted herein will terminate automatically and without notice if you fail to comply with any term or condition of this EULA.  Upon termination, you will destroy all copies of the Software and any prior version thereof under your control.  Any provision in this EULA that when reasonably read is intended to survive the termination of this EULA shall survive, including without limitation, the disclaimer of warranties and limitations on liability.

MessagePixels LLC has your permission to send you information regarding MessagePixels LLC’s products and services, including via facsimile and e-mail.

This EULA will be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, U.S.A. without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. The exclusive judicial forum for any action that may be brought to enforce this EULA shall be in Florida in an appropriate state court in Pinellas County or federal court in Tampa.

  <Press_Release>
    <Press_Release>MessagePixels LLC is pleased to announce the release of MPNews 5.
 
This new release represents a huge improvement over the previous version in terms of usability, performance and features.  You can download the new version from our web site at www.messagepixels.com.

MPNews allows you to connect with your customers through Web forums, e-mail lists, blogs, and more with MessagePixels MPNews. Afforable, easy to maintain, and simple to integrate with other customer management systems, MPNews provides a single platform for effective customer communications.  MPNews is available as server software or as a hosted service solution starting under $20 per month.
 
The main changes in version 5 include:
 
Simplified administration using new web-based administration sites - the MPNews Management application has been replaced with a simple to use administration web site. You can use this to quickly and easily adminster your server from anywhere, with no need to install any special software, making it possible to change settings while away from your normal PC.
 
New web interface to your newsgroups - the web interface has been completed overhauled, including two new templates to give your users a more professional, powerful and easier to use way of accessing your newsgroups.  Additional templates will be added in minor releases throughout the year.  The new web interface is also written in ASP.NET with CSS styles, making it much easier to customize to your exact requirements than ever before. You can also take advantage of third-party components produced for this powerful system to add on extra functionality to your web interface.
 
Better performance and administration simplicity with message storage options - the way MPNews stores messages has also been overhauled, giving you much improved performance especially when reading large newsgroups in the web interface.  As well as the existing options of storing messages in virtually any SQL-compliant database, you can now choose to store messages directly on disk without the need for a database at all. This gives you even better performance without the need for complex or expensive database systems, and makes it exceptionally easy to perform administrative tasks such as backup and restore.
 
These are just a few of the highlights - download the new version now to check out all the new and improved options for yourself.

MPNews provides a secure, unified platform to seamlessly integrate with your other Web sites and systems. All of your communications look the same, without the need to redesign websites. The customer is not forced to remember multiple passwords or login several times across several web pages. Every message is stored only once, but may be read and replied to with any of these interfaces.

This makes MPNews very efficient to setup and maintain. With a hosted service or single server installed at your location, you have access to all of these features. MPNews is managed with a simple Web-based administration interface, so you can set up your server from the office or while on the move with only a web browser.</Char_Desc_2000>
