• Terminate the License(s) associated with the infringing user or organization under the EULA, and decline to provide re-activation, support, or updates for them;
• Pursue civil litigation for copyright infringement, including claims for actual damages, statutory damages (which in certain jurisdictions may be up to USD $150,000 per work infringed for willful infringement), lost profits, and attorneys' fees;

5 No Implied License

Nothing in this Notice, on the ProForma Suite website, in any marketing or promotional material, or in any other communication from Licensor shall be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right to use any Works, trademarks, or other intellectual property of Licensor, except as expressly set forth in a written agreement executed by Licensor. The grant of a license to use the Software under the EULA does not convey any right to reproduce, distribute, publicly display, or create derivative works from the Software or any other Works.

6 Trademarks

"ProForma Suite," "DOCX Optimizer," "ProForm Form Manager," "ProRedactor," "Synthetix-CR," "QuizForge," and associated logos and product names are trademarks or common law marks of ProForma Suite. [Registration status to be updated upon filing.] These marks may not be used in connection with any product, service, or business in any manner likely to cause confusion, or in any manner that disparages or discredits ProForma Suite, without prior written consent. All other trademarks referenced herein are the property of their respective owners.

7 Third-Party Components

The Software may incorporate certain open-source or third-party components. Where such components are used, they are subject to their respective licenses, which do not in any way expand the rights granted to Licensee under the EULA with respect to the Software as a whole. The inclusion of open-source components does not make the Software open-source, and Licensee acquires no rights to any ProForma Suite proprietary code by virtue of the presence of such components. A list of third-party components and their applicable licenses is available in the Software's documentation folder.

8 Infringement Reporting

If you believe that any ProForma Suite intellectual property is being infringed, or if you are aware of unauthorized distribution, cracking, or piracy of any ProForma Suite Software, please report it promptly. Licensor investigates all credible infringement reports and takes appropriate action.
