’Farm’ is SharePoint on-premise Farm.
‘Tenant’ is (Microsoft 365 or SharePoint online) production Tenant Domain URL.

In consideration for your payment of any applicable license fee for the Software, ShortPoint hereby grants to you a personal, nontransferable (except as expressly provided in Section 4 below) and non-exclusive right to use and execute the Software on computer(s) based on purchased quantity of user licenses as well as farms or tenants as applicable without right to sublicense the Software. Under no circumstance may you store, use or allow the use of the Software in any manner on more computers than the purchased Farm quantity or one Tenant at a time.
You agree that you will not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any portion of the Software. If you dispose of any media or apparatus containing Software, you will ensure that you have entirely erased or otherwise destroyed any Software included on such media or stored in such apparatus.
You agree that you will not use a shared user account or system account as the ShortPoint licensed user. The user has to be a real person account.
Except as expressly provided in Section 4 below, you may not distribute, lease, transfer for profit, loan or otherwise convey the Software or any portion thereof to anyone.
To acquire a license to use the Software, the customer needs to select the following “Required Information”:
SharePoint environment being used (SharePoint 2013, SharePoint 2016, SharePoint 2019, Microsoft 365, Microsoft Teams, SAP Cloud Platform).
How many users (designers).
How Many Farms or Tenants/Domains or Instances ShortPoint is requested to license.
ShortPoint will grant a license to use the Software as described in this Agreement only after:
All monies owed ShortPoint or payable in respect of any Software use have been paid in advance in full and cleared by ShortPoint’s representative bank or, where applicable, ShortPoint has issued the appropriate invoice to you (which shall at all times be payable within no more than 30 days, and failure to pay such sums within the 30-day period entitling ShortPoint to immediately terminate this Agreement and all rights of use of the Software); and all Required Information has been provided to ShortPoint.
ShortPoint will provide Support if both of the following conditions are true:
ShortPoint license is active, and customers follow the latest updates and guidelines from the ShortPoint support department;

For ShortPoint Widget, ShortPoint will allocate the license and register it based on the account instance ID under which you may access the Software. Based on the number of purchased users, you will then be asked to assign the employees accounts with their license.
The license will be locked to the assigned user. ShortPoint licenses can be reassigned once per year – to request reassignment, contact support@shortpoint.com. ShortPoint may allow additional reassignments in special cases, solely at its discretion.
