FABAbill License Agreement

The FABAbill Attorney Billing Program ("FABAbill") is the property of TechRelief Software, Inc. ("TechRelief Software") and is licensed, not sold.  By purchasing a license to use FABAbill, you agree to be bound by the terms of this License Agreement.

LICENSE.  FABAbill is protected by U.S. Copyright Law.  You are granted a nontransferable, nonexclusive license (the "License") to use FABAbill subject to this License Agreement.  If you give anyone else access to FABAbill, you are responsible for making sure those users abide by the terms of this License Agreement.

YOU MAY NOT RENT, LEASE, OR SELL ACCESS TO FABABILL.  YOU MAY NOT USE FABABILL TO PARTICIPATE IN OR ASSIST WITH THE DEVELOPMENT, ENHANCEMENT, OR MARKETING OF ANY PRODUCTS THAT COULD BE USED AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO FABABILL.  YOU MAY NOT USE FABABILL TO CONDUCT ANY ILLEGAL OR HARMFUL ACTIVITIES.  ANY USE OF FABABILL, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PERMITTED IN THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT, MAY SUBJECT YOU TO CIVIL DAMAGES AND ATTORNEYS' FEES.

TERM.  This license takes effect on the date of purchase and remains in effect until it is terminated by either you or TechRelief Software.

LICENSE FEES & MAXIMUM STAFF MEMBERS.  The monthly fee for this license is based on the number of staff members who either bill their time or need access to your billing data, and is established at the time of purchase.  TechRelief Software reserves the right to change the monthly fee for this license once per year (based on the anniversary of the date of purchase), in which case you will be given at least ninety (90) days notice.  You are not allowed to enter more staff members than were paid for into FABAbill (you can replace terminated staff members with new staff members).  If you need to increase the number of staff members that FABAbill allows, you must contact TechRelief Software to pay the additional monthly fee required for the additional staff members.  If you want to decrease the number of staff members that FABAbill allows, you must contact TechRelief Software; however, you will NOT receive a refund of any license fees that have already been paid – the monthly fee will be decreased at the start of your next billing cycle, provided you have not exceeded the new staff member limit.

PAYMENT & REFUND POLICY.  When you purchase a FABAbill license, the credit card or other account that is used will be automatically charged the monthly license fee every month, until you terminate this license.  The monthly charge will occur on the same date every month, unless there are not enough days in the month, in which case the charge will occur on the last day of the month.  If you terminate this license, then TechRelief Software will issue a prorated refund of the monthly license fee for any days that remain in the current monthly billing period.

TERMINATION BY YOU.  You may terminate this license at any time by notifying TechRelief Software in writing (email is acceptable) that you wish to terminate this license.  All of your rights to FABAbill will cease once TechRelief Software receives such notice.  TechRelief Software will delete your client data thirty (30) days after the license is terminated, unless you inform TechRelief Software in writing that you would like your client data deleted sooner.
