This HashMove Software License Agreement (“Agreement”) is a legal agreement between you (either an individual or a single legal entity) (“Customer”) and HashMove Technology FZCO, or its subsidiaries, or its authorized resellers (“HashMove”) for the Software and Related Materials with which this Agreement is delivered. By signing up, creating an account, accessing, installing, downloading, copying, or otherwise using the Software and Related Materials, the Customer agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If the Customer purports to act on behalf of a body corporate when accessing or using the HashMove Software, the Customer represents and warrants that the Customer has the authority to bind such body corporate.

This Agreement is a license from HashMove and not a sale of goods. This Agreement gives the Customer certain limited rights to use HashMove’s proprietary Software and Related Materials. All rights not specifically granted in this Agreement are reserved to HashMove.

This Agreement incorporates by reference herein to HashMove’s standard “Terms of Use” found at https://hashmove.com/terms-of-use.html and “Privacy Policy” found at https://hashmove.com/privacy-policy.html

The Customer acknowledges that HashMove provides the Software to the Customer as a cloud-based solution hosted on Microsoft Azure and is bound by the Service Level Agreement (SLA) which can be found at https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/sla/virtual-machines/v1_9/
