This Research License Agreement (“RLA”) is a binding agreement between you (“End User” or “you”) and Orpheus Mind Technologies Limited (“Orpheus”, “we”, “us” or “our”). This RLA governs your research use of the Orpheus Mobile Application (including all related documentation) (the “App”) and the self-help and hypnotherapeutic audio and/or video tracks (the “Tracks”) made accessible by us via the App or otherwise. The App and the Tracks are licensed, not sold, to you.
By clicking the “agree” button, you (a) acknowledge that you have read and understand this RLA; (b) represent that you will use the App and the Tracks for research purposes only; and (c) accept this RLA and agree that you are legally bound by its terms. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the App or the Tracks and delete them from your device.
1. LICENCE GRANT
Subject to the terms of this RLA, we grant you and your research team a limited, non-exclusive, and non-transferable license (“Licence”) to:
1.1 download, install, and use the App for non-commercial research use on your or your organisation’s mobile, tablet device, or computer owned or otherwise controlled by you or your organisation (“Device”); and
1.2 access, stream, download, and use the Tracks which are accessible through the App on such Device, in each case strictly in accordance with this RLA. Please note that you may only use the App on one Device at a time and once you access the App on one device you will automatically be logged out of the App on other Devices.
2. PAYMENT AND RESEARCH TERM
2.1 The Licence to use the App will commence once you have downloaded the App for free onto your Device.
2.2 The Licence to use the Tracks will commence:
2.2.1 once you have paid the appropriate fee (if any) (“Fee”) via one of the payment methods referred to in this clause 2 and have entered into a subscription with us for research access to the Tracks; or
2.2.2 if no fee is payable, once you start using the Tracks,
(in each case, your “Subscription”).
2.3 If a Fee is payable we shall provide you or your institute (as may be separately agreed) with an invoice for the agreed fees. Such invoice must be paid within 30 days of issue and if not so paid we may immediately terminate this RLA in accordance with clause 12.
2.4 The Licence to use the App and the Tracks will continue until the earlier of:
2.4.1 publication of the outcome of your research;
2.4.2 completion of the relevant trial
(the “Research Period”).
2.5 The Licence to use the App and the Tracks will automatically end at the end of the Research Period, unless otherwise terminated by either of us in accordance with clause 12.
3. USE OF THE APP
3.1 You use the App at your own discretion and you accept full and sole liability for its use.
3.2 The App and its contents are licensed to you for research purposes only and it should not be regarded as a substitute for any advice, diagnosis, recommendations, treatments or decisions from licenced medical practitioners for either yourself or anyone else involved in the research. No claim is made with regard to any results that might reasonably be expected, nor is any warranty implied by us in respect of the same.
4. LICENCE RESTRICTIONS
4.1 Following payment of the Fee (if applicable), you will be granted the Licence for the Research Period. Upon entering into the Licence, you shall not without our prior written consent:
4.1.1 copy or reproduce the App or the Tracks or any part of them;
4.1.2 modify, translate, adapt, or otherwise create derivative works or improvements, whether or not patentable, of the App or the Tracks;
4.1.3 reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, decode, or otherwise attempt to derive or gain access to the source code of the App or the Tracks or any part thereof;
4.1.4 remove, delete, alter, or obscure any trademarks or any copyright, trademark, patent, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights notices from the App or the Tracks, including any copy thereof;
4.1.5 rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, assign, distribute, publish, transfer, or otherwise make available the App or the Tracks, or any features or functionality of the App or the Tracks, to any third party for any reason, including by making the App or the Tracks available on a network where it is capable of being accessed by more than one device at any time; or
4.1.6 remove, disable, circumvent, or otherwise create or implement any workaround to any copy protection, rights management, or security features in or protecting the App or the Tracks.
4.2 We grant you the Licence personally and therefore you may not transfer the Licence to someone else (other than to a member of your research team), whether for money, for anything else, or for free. If you sell the Device on which the App is installed and/or any Tracks are stored, you must remove the App from it.
5. PUBLICATION
5.1 In order to ensure that all research is undertaken in an efficient and collaborative manner, Orpheus shall assign a designated employee or employees (“Representatives”) as liaison with you to deal with any questions, queries, support, technical issues or other matters that may arise during the Research Period. You agree to regularly meet with such Representatives during the Research Period and to keep them updated as to how your research is progressing and to obtain their input where relevant.

No later than 10 business days after we receive the proposed publication or public disclosure, we shall return to you the intended publication or disclosure with notice of any proposed changes or other measures aimed at ensuring confidentiality of any of our confidential information is maintained.
5.3 Upon receipt of such notice you shall take all actions reasonably requested by us in such notice.
