1.2 "Licensed Information" means any information concerning the Licensed Program, which is owned by the Licensor and is licensed to the Licensee together with the Licensed Program.

1.3 “Licensed Software" means “Variance Beta", including the Licensed Program and the Licensed Information. The Licensed Software is available in English language only. The purpose of the Variance beta has been set forth in detail in the Licensed Information. This purpose is as a reporting and invoicing program designed primarily for the construction industry; but usable for any construction industry where plant, equipment and personnel are used to perform any construction related task. The Licensed Software will track hours expended by plant, equipment and personnel, as well as materials and consumables purchased to perform construction contract variations. The Licensed Software will produce invoices and reports based on these hours.
-
The Licensee can store the description of a construction project, ‘New Project’, the scope of which is defined between the entity or person in control of the project, ‘Client’, and the provider of construction services, ‘Contractor’, into the Licensed Software. The description would be in the form of variable parameters, based on which the monies that such Contractor may charge to the Client are computed.
-
The Client & Contractor function independently, and their actions are not governed by the Licensed Software. Either of them may use the Licensed Software as the Licensee.
-
The Licensed Software is able to adjust its reports and invoices flexibly to changing charging parameters related to a particular defined New Project stored in it. Where the scope of a New Project changes by mutual agreement between the Client & the Contractor, the variations are recorded into Variance beta by the Licensee. The defining parameters related to this variation are stored as a ‘New Variation’ in the Licensed Software.
-
For those tasks that are performed by the Contractor after such variation, values of parameters such as personnel hours, plant & equipment hours and materials & consumables are entered into the Licensed Software on a daily basis by the Licensee. The veracity of the data entered cannot be established by the Licensed Software. The Licensed Software would only compute invoices and generate reports based on data entered into it by the licensee. Reports would be generated on a user defined basis.
1.4 "Authorised Personnel" means the employees of the Licensee and the other contractors who work for the Licensee under a contract (which shall include confidentiality clause) entered into by and between the Licensee and the contractors, to the extent that the Authorised Personnel can work on the Licensed Software within the License granted by Article 2.1
1.5 "Upgraded Version" means the Licensed Software comprising of Licensed Program and/or the Licensed Information to which updates, enhancements, corrections, installations of bug patches or other changes have been made. The exterior form of the Updated Version is reflected by changes to the version numbers. For example, in the version number 2.1, a change in the first number from left to right means the occurrence of a later version of the software, and a change in the second number means improvements to the software performance.
1.7 "Confidential Information" means the technical information and management information which are unknown to the public, can bring economic benefit to recipients, have practicability and are subject to the confidential measures adopted by the recipients, including, but not limited to, computer software, technical parameters, price lists, designs, software documentations, manuals, models and account tables.
