A beta license allows the Licensee to use the Software Services for a term decided by the Licensor at the start of the beta test period. An evaluation term license allows the Licensee to use the Software Services for a single, thirty (30) day trial period. The Licensee may purchase a month term, a biannual term or an annual term license to use the Software Services for a thirty (30) day, six (6) month or one year period respectively.
10.2 At its sole discretion the Company may from time to time make available for sale perpetual term licenses. Such licenses would allow for the permanent use of the Software Services.
10.3 If the Company has provided an evaluation edition of the Software Services to the Licensee, the Licensee may install the Software Services on a single computer in order to evaluate the Software Services until the expiration date built into the Software Services (“expiration date”). After the expiration date, the Software Services will cease to function unless the Licensee purchases a license from the Company for use with the Software Services. The Licensee agrees not to defeat the Software Services’ expiration mechanism or continue using the Software Services beyond the expiration date without paying a license fee.
10.4 EULA Fees. The Licensee will receive the appropriate activation code for a month term, biannual, annual term or perpetual term license only after payment of the applicable fees for such license as specified by the Company’s then current fee schedule available on the Company’s arb-maker.com website.

You agree to pay all fees fully and promptly.
10.6 As all license fees are non-refundable, the Company strongly suggests that, prior to the purchase of a biannual, an annual or perpetual term license, the Licensee obtain an evaluation term license for the Software Services and use the Software Services for the applicable thirty (30) day trial period. Again, all payments for a month term license, a biannual term, an annual term license or a perpetual license are non-refundable.
10.7 Method of Payment. License fees for the Software Services must be paid in advance. In the event that payment is not made, the Software Services may become unavailable to you and the Company may terminate this Agreement without notice to you.
10.8 Activation Codes. The Software Services will not operate without the input of a valid activation code and will stop functioning after the expiration of the time period corresponding to the license term represented by the activation code. Upon acquisition by a Licensee of an evaluation term license, or purchase of a month term, annual term or perpetual term license, the Company will provide the Licensee with activation codes corresponding to the term of such licenses, for use on a single computer.
10.9 Month term licenses expire upon the conclusion of the applicable purchased license term and may be renewed upon expiration.
