If you do not agree with one of these, please do not download, install, copy or use the Software.
Final Draft reserves the right to change, modify, add, or delete provisions in this License at any time, as more particularly described in the Terms.

No other rights with respect to the Software or any related intellectual property rights are granted or implied.
