Background. Accusoft Corporation, a Florida corporation, (“Accusoft”) is the owner of

design, administration and execution services hosted by Accusoft (“Service”) USER desires to
use Docubee under the terms and conditions stated herein, for purpose of evaluating Docubee

Evaluation Limited Usage
Default Installation - Evaluation Limited Usage
All prospective customers have every opportunity to evaluate Accusoft's products, including
Docubee, prior to purchasing. Accusoft fully supports and warrants its code and its pricing of
Docubee reflects those support and warranty costs.
Evaluation Limited Usage allows you to test all Docubee features and functions. Images may be
displayed with a watermark on them and occasionally dialogs may be posted reminding you that
Docubee is in evaluation mode. Printed, exported and e-mailed images may also display a
watermark. This Evaluation Limited Usage expires after 14 days at which time Docubee will not
allow running workflows for your organization[. If your evaluation is not complete at that time,
please contact www.Docubee.com or support@Docubee.com to see if your Evaluation Limited
Usage time can be extended.
Changing from Evaluation Limited Usage to Commercial Usage
A Commercial Usage agreement is required in order to continue using Docubee for any
commercial purpose or in any manner that is not covered by our Evaluation Limited Usage. The
Commercial Usage agreement solely governs USER’s rights as to the terms of use and USER
is required to obtain the appropriate Commercial Usage agreement PRIOR TO SUCH
COMMERCIAL USE.
3.
Evaluation Limited Usage. With Evaluation Limited Usage, Accusoft allows USER only
to evaluate Docubee for a fourteen (14) day period beginning on the date of signup of Docubee
and may be subsequently extended by Accusoft on USER’s request (“Term”), for the sole
purpose of evaluating Docubee (the “Purpose”), and not for any commercial usage. For clarity,
USER may only use Docubee in an internal testing or proof-of-concept environment. USER IS
NOT PERMITTED TO USE Docubee IN A PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT. Either party may
terminate this Agreement for convenience prior to the end of the Term on one day’s written
notice (email notice is acceptable) to the other party. USER shall have no right to, and shall not
assign this Agreement whether by transfer, assignment, merger or otherwise.

Docubee is governed by this Paragraph 4., replacing Paragraph 3. "Evaluation Limited Usage",
and all other terms and Term are according to this Agreement. Accusoft allows USER to use
Docubee for the Term purchased through the Docubee website, beginning on the date the
Commercial Usage agreement for Docubee is obtained and as may subsequently be extended
by Accusoft on USER’s request (“Term”). When LICENSEE uses Service, LICENSEE’s
