is a “License Transfer Fee” which is twenty five percent (25%) of the new

If LICENSEE submits a refund request within the “Warranty
Period” as defined in Paragraph 11 below, of the original purchase date, and
LICENSEE used or attempted to use the application for its intended purpose, and
RAINWORX is unable to resolve your request then RAINWORX may (at our sole
discretion), issue you a refund for the full LICENSE purchase price.
If SOFTWARE has not been delivered and LICENSEE submits a
refund request, RAINWORX will in most cases honor the request for a full
refund, in relation to Paragraph 11 below.
RAINWORX provides a functional and extensive online demo,
sample code upon request, and unlimited email and phone support during business

for SOFTWARE, in relation to Paragraph 11 below, LICENSEE understands and
agrees that this Agreement and the License are terminated. Upon License
