Introduction

This Rosetta Biosoftware Web Site Terms of Use Agreement (this "Agreement") is between you ("User") and Rosetta Inpharmatics LLC, through its business unit Rosetta Biosoftware ("Rosetta"). User's use of the Rosetta Biosoftware Web site (the "Web Site") is conditioned on User's acceptance of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. User will be requested at the end of this Agreement to indicate User's acceptance of these terms and conditions.

Terms of the this Agreement apply to users of the Web Site who seek access to certain restricted Web pages and Content (as defined below) as customers of a particular the Rosetta Biosoftware product(s) ("Customer Users"); and to others who only seek only access to certain restricted Web pages and Content and are not customers ("Community Users"); provided that Section 1.3 and Appendix A shall not apply to Community Users. As noted herein, access to Web pages and Content available to Customer Users may not be made available to Community Users, at Rosetta's sole discretion. Unless otherwise provided herein, Customer Users and Community Users shall be collectively referred to as "Users".

By clicking on the "I ACCEPT/AGREE" button, User will have accepted and agreed to be bound by these terms and conditions, and User will also have confirmed that User has authority to agree to be so bound. IF USER DOES NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR DOES NOT HAVE AUTHORITY TO SO AGREE, USER MUST IMMEDIATELY LOG OFF THE WEB SITE.

1. License.

1.1 Use. Rosetta hereby grants User a nonexclusive, nontransferable license to access and use the Web Site internally via the Internet and to view and download a copy of the text and images expressly designated to User by Rosetta (the "Content") solely for User's Internal Use (as defined below). User may use the Web Site only for the retrieval of the Content and shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations with respect to use of the Web Site and the Content hereunder. This license only grants to User the right to use the Web Site and Content, and User does not acquire any right of ownership or title in them. All right, title and interest in and to the Web Site and Content will at all times remain the property of Rosetta and its licensor(s) and service providers.

As used herein, "Internal Use" means

(a) for Community Users, use solely for User's personal, internal, non-business purposes; and

(b) for Customer Users, use solely for User's internal business purposes in a manner consistent with the license rights and obligations under the license agreement to the Rosetta Biosoftware product(s) ("Rosetta Biosoftware Product(s)") between User's company and Rosetta (the "Product License Agreement"). [To the extent User is not aware of the licensing terms and conditions under the Product License Agreement, we encourage User to contact User's legal department or User's System Contact at Rosetta. User and User's company are responsible for compliance with the Product License Agreement.] If there is any inconsistency between the Product License Agreement for different Rosetta Biosoftware Products to which User's company has a license, User agrees to comply with the Product License Agreement that pertains to the Rosetta Biosoftware Product most related to the Content User is using.

1.2 Data. As a convenience to User's use of the Rosetta Biosoftware Product(s), Rosetta may deliver to User as Content certain genetic data and annotation procured from third party licensors ("Third Party Data"). Some Third Party Data available to Customer Users may not be available to Community Users, at Rosetta's sole discretion. The Third Party Data are provided for User's convenience only and may be pre-modified for easy loading into the applicable Rosetta Biosoftware Product(s) for which they are designated. To that extent, User is provided the Third Party Data under a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the Third Party Data to others. User acknowledges that the Third Party Data are freely available elsewhere from public domain sources and nothing in this Agreement prevents User from acquiring such data from such sources on User's own and using such data for what purposes User sees fit. All the Third Party Data are User's sole responsibility. As a condition for using the Third Party Data, User warrants that User will not use the Third Party Data for any purpose that is unlawful. No rights to use any trade names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the third party licensors, except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the origin of the Third Party Data. Unless required by applicable law, Rosetta provides the THIRD PARTY DATA on an "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, or freedom from errors, omissions, bugs, viruses or anomolies. User is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using or redistributing the THIRD PARTY DATA and assumes any risks associated with User'S exercise of permissions under this sECTION 1.2. In no event and under no legal theory, whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise, unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall Rosetta or any other person be liable to USER for damages, including any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a result of receipt, use or distribution of the Third Party Data, even if USER HAS been advised of the possibility of such damages. User's sole and exclusive remedy for any defects in or inability to use the Third Party Data shall be for Rosetta to direct User to the source of the Third Party Data, if still available. Due to restrictions of certain licensors of the Third Party Data, Rosetta reserves the right to make such data available on condition to User's agreement to additional terms, including terms posted on the Web Site proximate to where the data may be downloaded; and if so, User agrees to be bound by those terms in User's use of such data.

1.3 Message Board (for use by Customer Users only). In order to register and use the Message Board, Customer User must also agree to the special Message Board Terms of Use set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and Appendix A to this Agreement, Appendix A shall prevail.

1.4 Restrictions. User's right to use the Web Site and Content is personal to User. User may not transfer or make available User's password or Web Site access rights to others. Any distribution by User of User's password or access rights may result in termination of this Agreement in Rosetta's sole discretion. Except as otherwise consistent with the terms and conditions of the Product License Agreement (if applicable), User may not: (a) use, copy or disclose the Web Site or the Content except as permitted by this Agreement; (b) use the Web Site or the Content for time-sharing, rental or service bureau purposes; (c) sell, sublicense, resell, or otherwise transfer User's right to use the Web Site or the Content; (d) modify, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any part or all of the Web Site or Content; or (e) create or attempt to create derivative works based on or of the Web Site or the Content, in whole or in part.

2. Confidential Information.

The Web Site contains confidential and proprietary information and content of Rosetta ("Rosetta Confidential Information"). User agrees not to make available the Rosetta Confidential Information any person, except in the case of a Customer User, to Customer User's employees or contractors whose access is necessary to enable Customer User to exercise Customer User's license and who are bound by an appropriate agreement ensuring compliance with all applicable provisions of this Agreement. User shall take all reasonable precautions to safeguard the Rosetta Confidential Information, exercising at least a reasonable degree of care, and agree to promptly notify Rosetta of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Rosetta Confidential Information, and to take all reasonable action to prevent use of the Rosetta Confidential Information in breach of this Agreement. User's obligations to keep confidential the Rosetta Confidential Information shall survive termination of the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer User's use and non-disclosure of Rosetta Confidential Information should be consistent with the terms and conditions of use and non-disclosure under the Product License Agreement.

3. Indemnification.

User's use of this Web Site and its Content is voluntary. User shall indemnify Rosetta and its affiliates, distributors and licensors, and all of its and their directors, employees, and agents against, and hold them harmless from, any and all lawsuits, claims, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), settlements, damages, judgments and the like arising from User's use of the Web Site and Content.

4. Injunctive Relief.

User agrees that, if User breaches or threatens to breach this Agreement in any manner, Rosetta may suffer irreparable damage, money damages will be inadequate, and Rosetta shall be entitled to preliminary and other injunctive relief by a court of competent jurisdiction against any such breach or threatened breach, without having to wait for User to cure a breach and without having to post a bond or other security.
