YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU MUST ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT IN ORDER TO USE OR COPY THE LICENSOR SOFTWARE AS LICENSED IN SECTION 2 HEREUNDER. YOU FURTHER UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BY CLICKING THE “ACCEPT” BUTTON ON THIS PAGE, YOU ARE AGREEING TO ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT. You further agree that the date on which you click the “ACCEPT” button on this page shall be the effective date of this Agreement (“Effective Date”).
WHEREAS, Licensor is the owner of a certain Software program(s); and
WHEREAS, Licensee desires to obtain a license, and Licensor desires to grant a license for the Software program(s) specified herein;
NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto mutually agree as follows:
1.1. “Software” shall mean the software program(s) that you are installing via the installation program packaged with this Agreement in object code form, their database structure/schema, related documentation and all Upgrades, all owned by Licensor.
1.2. “Upgrade” or “Upgrades” shall mean any new versions, fixes, enhancements, service packs or other revisions of the Software as may be commercially released in the future at Licensor’s sole discretion.
1.3. “Affiliates” shall mean any entity which directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with a party for as long as such relationship remains in effect. Except for the provisions of Sections 5 and 6 herein, the term “Licensee” shall be interpreted to include Licensee and its Affiliates.
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Licensor hereby grants to Licensee, and Licensee accepts from Licensor, a term-limited, renewable, world-wide, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to use the Software. Except for Trial License use as described below, this grant of license is subject to the payment of the Fees (as defined herein), and is valid only during the Term (as defined herein). Under this Agreement:
2.1. Licensee may use the Software under the usage restrictions for the number of licenses purchased (“Seats”) as specified herein, only for the processing of Licensee’s own business. For each Seat, the Software may be installed on a maximum of three (3) computers, however, a given Seat may not be used on more than one computer concurrently. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances may a user ID for a given Seat be shared, or used by more than one person. The Software may be used only by Licensee’s employees, its third party contractors and its customers; provided that Licensee shall be solely responsible for the acts and omissions of its third party contractors and customers, and shall insure that any third party use of the Software complies with this Agreement.
2.2. For those Licensor Software products that are designed to integrate with SalesForce.com, Licensee understands and agrees that the license grant of Section 2.1 is expressly limited such that a given Software license key may only be used by users within a single SalesForce.com Org (as defined below). Licensee use of such Software with more than one SalesForce.com Org will require purchase of separate license keys for each such Org. A SalesForce.com “Org” means a separate set of SalesForce.com customer data and product customizations stored in a logically separate database (i.e., in a database that is segregated from other databases through password controlled access).
2.3. Licensee may make one copy of the Software in machine-readable form solely for backup purposes. Any such backup copy of the Software must include all copyright notices and any other proprietary legends on the original copy of the Software.
2.4. Trial License and License Purchase. Upon installation of the Software, you may use the Software for a limited trial period as determined by Licensor in its sole discretion (e.g., seven (7) days) (the “Trial Period”), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (the “Trial License”). Such Trial License will be valid only during the Trial Period, after which the Trial License is revoked and the Software will be disabled unless you have remitted the Fees for paid Subscription License(s). If, during the Trial Period or thereafter, you wish to purchase Subscription License(s) for the Software, you may do so on a per user Seat basis. You may purchase Subscription Licenses either online via our website or by sending a purchase order to our sales department. Upon your payment of Fees, we will provide you with activation license key(s), and grant you license(s) for the number of Seats purchased that will be valid for renewable one (1) year periods (“Subscription License(s)”). At the end of each one (1) year period, the Software will be disabled unless you have remitted the Fees for an additional year period in advance.
Under this Agreement except as permitted under Section 2, Licensee may not:
3.1. Make or distribute copies of the Software;
3.2. Decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, or otherwise reduce the Software to a human perceivable form, except as permitted by law;
3.3. Attempt to remove any copyright notices or other reference to Licensor’s ownership of the Software appearing on the Software or any materials and documentation provided therewith;
3.4. Rent, lease, sublicense or resell the Software;
3.5. Modify or create derivative works based upon the Software or any part thereof;
3.6. Permit any third party to use the Software, or use the Software for purposes of processing the data of any third party; or

The support under this Agreement does not include any on-site support by Licensor.

5.3. Seats. Licensee may request an increase in the number of Seats by written notice at any time, and may request a decrease in the number of Seats via written notice sent at least thirty (30) days in advance of the expiration of the current annual term. Upon receipt of either such notice, Licensor will issue a notice to you identifying the revised number of Seats and corresponding annual Fees. The annual Fees for requests to increase the number of Seats will be prorated to reflect the amount of time remaining in the current annual term. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee may not otherwise decrease the number of Seats during the current annual term and/or receive any corresponding refund of Fees.
6.1. Term. This Agreement shall continue in force for an initial term of one (1) year from the Effective Date (“Initial Term”), and upon the expiration of this Initial Term, this Agreement shall be automatically renewed for successive one (1) year terms (each a “Renewal Term”), provided that Licensee has paid the Fees for the next Renewal Term in advance. This Agreement shall automatically terminate at the end of the Initial Term or the current Renewal Term as applicable if Licensee fails to pay the Fees for the next Renewal Term in advance. The Initial Term plus all successive Renewal Terms up until the date of termination shall be collectively referred to as the “Term” of this Agreement.
6.2. Termination for Cause. Either party will have the right to terminate this Agreement for cause at any time if the other party is in breach of any material term which such party fails to cure within thirty (30) days after receiving non-breaching party’s notice of the breach and intention to terminate. Such termination will become effective automatically upon expiration of the cure period in the absence of a cure. In the event that Licensee so terminates this Agreement for cause due to material breach by Licensor, Licensee will be entitled to a pro rata refund of the Fees for the current one year period actually paid by Licensee up to the date of termination.
6.3. Termination for Convenience. Licensee may terminate this Agreement at any time for convenience, however, no Fees shall be refundable upon such termination for convenience.

The parties may enter into follow-up consulting agreements to be negotiated on a time and materials basis, at Licensor’s then prevailing rates, should Licensee require any of the following additional services that are NOT covered by this Agreement:
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor will provide assistance in installing, configuring and testing the Software if Licensee purchases the GoLive service as an additional paid service.
Regardless of who owns the media on which the Software resides or is distributed, the Software expressly remains the intellectual property of Licensor, and Licensor retains all right, title and interest in and to the Software and all copies thereof.

9.3. Lockout Mechanism. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the parties hereby understand and agree that the Software does contain a lockout mechanism that provides Licensor with the technical capability to disable the Software (the “Lockout”). Licensor hereby warrants that it will not use the Lockout to disable the Software except under the conditions that Licensee has failed to pay undisputed and overdue subscription Fees, or has otherwise materially breached this Agreement.
9.4. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTIES OF SECTIONS 9.1, 9.2 AND 9.3, THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS”, AND LICENSOR MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

In such case, Licensee’s sole remedy shall be to receive within a commercially reasonable time, an Upgrade issued by Licensor that addresses the problem. Licensee agrees to cooperate and work closely with Licensor in a prompt and reasonable manner in connection with Licensor’s correction efforts. If Licensor fails to correct, cure or otherwise remedy a material malfunction, Licensee may terminate this Agreement and Licensor will refund a pro rata portion of pre-paid Fees.

The provisions of this Agreement relating to limited warranties, remedies, limitations of liability and indemnification are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between Licensor and Licensee, and reflect an expressly agreed-upon and accepted allocation of risk between the parties. Thus, the Fees charged by Licensor and to be paid by Licensee have been set to reflect this allocation of risk. The parties hereby acknowledge and confirm that Licensor would not be able to economically provide the Software to Licensee at the Fees specified herein without such limitations.

13.2. Obligations of Non-Disclosure and Protection. Neither party shall disclose any Confidential Information of the other party to anyone other than the receiving party’s employees or subcontractors specifically performing under this Agreement. The receiving party shall protect the Confidential Information of the disclosing party with at least the same degree of care as it uses to protect its own Confidential Information of a similar nature, but in no case with less than a reasonable degree of care.

The receiving party’s disclosure of any of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information: (1) in response to a valid order by a court or other governmental body; (2) as otherwise required by law; or (3) as necessary to establish the rights of either party under this Agreement shall not be a breach of this Agreement; so long as the receiving party provides prompt prior written notice thereof to the disclosing party to enable disclosing party to seek a protective order or otherwise prevent the disclosure. Further, the receiving party shall disclose only the minimum amount of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information that it is legally required to furnish and, where appropriate, will exercise its best efforts to obtain written assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded to such Confidential Information.
13.4. Equitable Enforcement. In the case of a breach of the confidentiality provisions of this section, the parties hereby agree that their respective remedies at law are inadequate, and consent to equitable enforcement of their obligations under said sections, by a court of appropriate equity jurisdiction hereunder.
13.5. GDPR Data Addendum. If Licensee is subject to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) or similar data protection laws, Licensee agrees to the separate Licensor Data Protection Addendum, that Licensor will provide to Licensee under separate cover, and the parties will execute.

Either party may also elect to give notice by written communication sent by recognized overnight delivery service or first class mail or pre-paid post to the addresses identified below.
