Effective Date: January 1, 2025
This End User License Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal agreement between you (either an individual or a single entity, referred to as "Licensee", "you", or "your") and DC Software Solutions ("Licensor", "we", "us", or "our") for the use of SharePoint Toolkitsoftware and any associated documentation ("Software").
BY INSTALLING, COPYING, OR OTHERWISE USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THE SOFTWARE.
1. License Grant
1.1 License Type. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and payment of the applicable license fee, Licensor grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to install and use the Software.
1.2 Per-User Per-Tenant License. The Software is licensed on a per-user, per-tenant basis. Each license permits a single named user to use the Software within a single Microsoft 365 tenant. If you wish to have multiple users access the Software, or use the Software in multiple tenants, you must purchase additional licenses accordingly.
1.3 License Fee. The current license fee is $3,995 USD per user per tenant per annual. License fees are non-refundable except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
1.4 License Term. Each license is valid for one (1) year from the date of purchase ("License Term"). To continue using the Software after the License Term expires, you must renew your license by paying the then-current license fee.
1.5 Named Users. Each license is assigned to a specific named user within your organization. License reassignment to a different user is permitted no more than once per calendar quarter, and only if the original user no longer requires access to the Software.
2. Restrictions
You may NOT:
- Redistribute or Resell: Copy, distribute, sublicense, lease, rent, sell, or otherwise transfer the Software to any third party.

- Share License Keys: Share, publish, or otherwise disclose your license key to any third party.
3. Ownership and Intellectual Property
