LICENSE AGREEMENT - PURCHASE TERMS AND CONDITIONS(COMPUTER CENTERS)This Agreement includes Part 1 - CRYSTAL17 License agreement, Part 2 - License Purchase Terms and Conditions
and is the complete agreement for the Licensee to the purchase of a license, download and use of CRYSTAL17.

Part 1: CRYSTAL17 License agreement
R. Dovesi, B. Civalleri, L. Maschio, A. Erba, S. Casassa
Theoretical Chemistry Group – Department of Chemistry, University of Torino - Italy
In the following, the term "the authors", is to be construed as meaning R. Dovesi, B. Civalleri, L. Maschio, A. Erba andS. Casassa at the above address, while the term "I" is referred to you as the end user licensee (Representative of thecomputer center), and “registered address” corresponds to the address of the computer center as specified during theregistration process and “computer center” is considered to serve a single site.
I request a copy of the ab initio code for periodic systems, CRYSTAL17. I will adhere to the following conditions uponreceipt of the code.
1.

I have the right to use CRYSTAL17 on more than one computer system at the registered address. If myregistered address should change I will notify the new one to info@crystalsolutions.eu and I will remove all
copies of CRYSTAL17 from computer systems at the old address.

2.

I will not supply a copy of the code to anyone for any reason whatsoever. This in no way limits my making
copies of the code for backup purposes. I will refer any requests for copies of the program to the authors.

3.

I am allowed to grant access to the executable modules to bona fide users of the computer centre. All suchusers should complete and sign an agreement with the computer center certifying that they have read theoriginal conditions for the supply of CRYSTAL17, and that they will comply with them.

4.

I understand that copyright and intellectual property rights are retained by the authors.

5.

I will not incorporate any part of CRYSTAL17 into any other program system, without prior written
permission of the authors.

6.

I will not attempt any software reverse engineering, such as decompilation, of CRYSTAL17.

7.

References to specific algorithms as implemented in CRYSTAL17 can be found either at
http://www.crystal.unito.it under the “Theoretical background” section or in the CRYSTAL17 output file.

It would be appreciated if a copy of such publications were sent to one of the authors (crystal@unito.it).
I understand that no large program such as CRYSTAL17 can be considered to be bug free, and accordingly the authors
supply the software on an “as is” basis, with no additional responsibility or liability or warranty of merchantability orfitness for a particular purpose. I agree to report any difficulties encountered in the use of CRYSTAL17 to the authors.

Part 2: Purchase Terms and Conditions
These are the terms and conditions according to which Aethia S.r.l. ("we" or "us") licenses end users ("you") the right todownload and use CRYSTAL.
1. CRYSTAL distributioni.

CRYSTAL17 is distributed through the website http://www.crystalsolutions.eu within the agreement between
the Department of Chemistry of the University of Torino and Aethia S.r.l.

ii.

CRYSTAL17 for Unix/Linux/MacOSX is supplied as binary executables or object files for a number of
supported architectures (see http://www.crystal.unito.it → Platforms).

iii. CRYSTAL17 for Windows is supplied as self extracting file, including the graphical package Crgra, and aWindows interface written to prepare the input and submit jobs.
iv. Precompiled executables include sequential (crystal, properties) and replicated data parallel version (Pcrystal).
The massive parallel version (MPPcrystal) is only supplied as object files.
v.
