1.2 Restrictions on Licensed Software Use.  The following restrictions apply to the license granted under clause 1.1(a) above (“License Restrictions”):

(a) Your Use Only.  You will not, and will not permit any third party to display, sell, rent, lease, license, sublicense, loan, lend, assign, publish, transfer, distribute or otherwise make available to any third party (including any Affiliates, except Authorised Affiliates) all or any portion of the Licensed Software or any features or functionality of the Licensed Software and/or Documentation (as applicable) in any form or media or by any means or for any reason, whether or not over a network or on a hosted basis, including in connection with the internet or any web hosting, wide area network (WAN), virtual private network (VPN), time-sharing, service bureau, software as a service, cloud, or other technology or service. You will not allow installation of the Licensed Software on any computer or environment other than a Customer Computer. You must promptly notify us of any suspected unauthorised use or disclosure of the Licensed Software (including use outside of the Permitted Use). Upon our reasonable request and no more than annually, one of your officers or senior vice presidents will certify in writing that your use of the Licensed Software is in compliance with the Usage Metric Limitations and the License Restrictions. The Licensed Software is made available to you via the relevant Cloud Provider’s Marketplace and available to run on such Cloud Provider’s environment. The Marketplace and Cloud Provider’s environment are owned and controlled by Cloud Provider. We shall not in any way be liable for, and we expressly disclaim all liability in respect of, the services provided to you by Cloud Provider (or any issues with the Licensed Software arising from Cloud Provider’s services), which services shall be subject to and governed by a separate agreement between you and Cloud Provider. You will be responsible for any losses we suffer as a result of the actions of any Cloud Provider you appoint.  

(b) Modifications of Licensed Software.  In respect of the Licensed Software, you will not, and will not permit any third party to: (i) alter or modify, frame or mirror the whole or any part of the Licensed Software in any way whatsoever; (ii) disassemble, decompile, reverse engineer, unobfuscate or reduce any part of the same to human-readable form (except as required by law to the extent necessary to ensure the interoperability of the Licensed Software, subject to your obligations of confidentiality under the Agreement  and to you having provided us with reasonable advance written notice of such intended activity and the opportunity to assist with or conduct such activity on your behalf and at your expense); (iii) combine or link the Licensed Software with Copyleft Materials; (iv) other than as expressly permitted by the Agreement, attempt to gain access to, discover or recreate the source code (from the object code or via any other means); (v) create any derivative works of the Licensed Software (in whole or in part); (vi) send or store Malicious Code; (vii) use or permit others to use the Licensed Software in violation of Applicable Law; (viii) transmit or generate any content or data that is unlawful or infringes any Intellectual Property Rights or use the Licensed Software for any unlawful purpose; (ix) work around any technical limitations in the Licensed Software or restrictions in the Documentation; (x) use Third Party Software other than in accordance with the use rights that you have to the Licensed Software (except to the extent the terms of open source licenses applicable to Third Party Software prohibit any of the restrictions in this Agreement, in which event such restrictions will not apply to such Third Party Software); or (xi) use the Licensed Software (or any part of it), Supplier’s Confidential Information or any Supplier Intellectual Property Rights in order to build or offer a product or service (either for internal use or otherwise) which competes with, or provides the same or similar features, functionality or graphics of, the Licensed Software or otherwise use or copy any features, functions or graphics of the Licensed Software (or any part of it) or any Supplier Intellectual Property Rights.

(c) Copyright and Other Ownership Notices. You will not remove, delete, alter, or obscure any trademarks or any copyright, trademark, patent, or other Intellectual Property Rights or proprietary markings or rights notices provided on or with the Licensed Software or Documentation.  

(d) Use of Virtualization Software.  You may run the Licensed Software on a virtualization platform subject to any Usage Metric Limitations.

(d) Verification.  During the Subscription Term and for twelve (12) months thereafter, and no more than once per year (unless we reasonably suspect you are in breach of any term of the Agreement), we may ask you to complete a self-audit process to confirm compliance with the License Restrictions and Usage Metric Limitations. You must promptly provide any information and documents that we reasonably request related to the verification. If there is a material discrepancy showing that you have not complied with the License Restrictions or Usage Metric Limitations, or you do not reasonably cooperate with such audit, you agree to allow us and/or our appointed accountancy or consultancy firm (“Auditors”) to audit pertinent records and visit any of your facilities (either your physical premises within your control and/or, upon reasonable request by you, by remote or virtual access to your Cloud Provider environment on which the Licensed Software is installed) for the purpose of conducting inspections of your use of the Licensed Software in order to confirm your compliance with the License Restrictions and Usage Metric Limitations, including to perform an architecture review. You will reasonably cooperate with any audit/inspection and provide reasonable assistance and access to information. You are required to maintain computers, books, records, and accounts to the extent required to evidence your compliance with the License Restrictions and Usage Metrics and permit examination and copying thereof by us and our Auditors. Inspections will be made during normal business hours at a mutually convenient time and upon reasonable advance notice of no less than fourteen (14) days. We and the Auditors will sign a confidentiality agreement covering such inspections and will agree to be accompanied by an Employee while on your premises and shall comply with your internal security policies and procedures. We will pay the fees associated with any such audit conducted by us (excluding your self-audit) unless the audit discloses that you are or were in non-compliance with any material provision of the Agreement, in which case you will pay the costs of the audit (in addition to our other rights in respect of such non-compliance).

2. OWNERSHIP OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

2.1 Intellectual Property Rights. We are the owner (or in relation to Third Party Software, an authorised licensee) of all right, title and interest in, the Supplier Intellectual Property Rights and any Feedback.

2.2 Assignment. Where any Intellectual Property Rights do not vest automatically in us under clause 2.1, you hereby assign free of charge, all of your right, title and interest in such Feedback and other items described in clause 2.1 upon their creation to us. 

2.3 Disclaimer.  For the avoidance of doubt, you disclaim all right, title, and interest in the Supplier Intellectual Property Rights and Feedback (whether in whole or in part). You irrevocably waive, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any and all claims you or your Authorised Affiliates, Employees and Contractors (and their employees) may now or hereafter have in any jurisdiction to so-called “moral rights” (or equivalent in any jurisdiction). You will not register any trademark, patent or copyright which uses or references any Supplier Intellectual Property Rights.

3. PAYMENT

3.1 Fees. You shall pay Fees due in accordance with the payment schedule set out in the relevant Order Form or offer/plan/ pricing page, as applicable. You agree to remit all payments due to us under this Agreement to Cloud Provider (or its nominated recipient). Cloud Provider is our agent for the collection of fees and processing of refunds.  Fees shall be payable on an annual basis in respect of annual subscription fees and on a monthly basis in respect of any on demand fees, in accordance with any invoice submitted to you.  Unless otherwise stated on any given invoice, payment is due within 30 days of the invoice date. You agree that, should Cloud Provider fail to collect any sums payable to us, you shall remit such sums to us directly promptly upon our written request. We may increase annual license Fees at the beginning of each Renewal Subscription Term. This increase will not exceed an amount equal to 5% of the previous year’s annual license Fees. If we do not increase annual license Fees this is not deemed to be a waiver of our right to do so at a subsequent commencement of a Renewal Subscription Term.Your use of the Licensed Software and the fees therefore are subject to the Usage Policy as specified on the Order Form or offer / plan / pricing page for the Licensed Software (as applicable).   

3.2 Taxes. Fees and other charges imposed under the Agreement shall not include Taxes, all of which will be your responsibility. You agree to pay or reimburse us (or Cloud Provider as our agent) for all Taxes.

3.3 Overdue Amounts.  Late payments will incur interest at the rate of the lesser of 1.5% per month and the maximum rate allowable under Applicable Law, or such other rate as is stipulated by your Cloud Provider. This interest accrues on a daily basis until actual payment of the overdue amount.

3.4 Set Off.  You will not withhold, reduce or set-off any Fees owed. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, Fees are non-refundable and orders are non-cancellable. 

4. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Confidential Information that qualifies for trade secret protection under Applicable Law, it shall be retained in confidence by the receiving Party until such protection is no longer available. The receiving Party of any Confidential Information will be responsible to the disclosing Party for any unauthorised disclosure of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information by any third party to whom the receiving Party has directly or indirectly disclosed such Confidential Information.

4.3 Disclosure of Agreement Terms.  Each Party agrees not to publicize or disclose the Agreement terms (including without limitation the Fees) to any third party without the prior written consent of the other Party, except under an appropriate non-disclosure agreement to the Cloud Provider or to a Party’s Affiliates, lawyers, investors, potential investors, investment bankers, lenders, accountants, employees, and other representatives as is reasonably necessary. 

4.4 Publicity.  Neither Party will use the name, logo or trademarks of the other Party in any publicity without the prior written consent of the other Party.

7.6 Mitigation. Each Party will use reasonable endeavours to avoid or mitigate any loss it may suffer or incur as a result of an event that may give rise to a claim under this clause 7.   

8. SUSPENSION, TERMINATION

Upon expiration of the Initial Subscription Term or then-current Renewal Subscription Term, a renewal term of 12 months duration (each a “Renewal Subscription Term”) shall automatically commence unless either Party notifies the other in writing of its intention not to renew not less than 60 days before the expiry of the applicable then-current Initial Subscription Term or Renewal Subscription Term. 

8.2 Access and Term.

8.3 Termination for Cause.  Either Party may terminate the Agreement and/or the applicable Order Form at any time upon written notice to the other Party if: (i) the other Party materially breaches any provision hereof and fails to cure such breach (where curable) within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice of such breach; (ii) the other Party becomes insolvent, is unable to pay its debts as they fall due or ceases to operate as a going concern; (iii) the other Party makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (iv) there are instituted by or against the other Party proceedings in insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or dissolution and such proceeding is not stayed or dismissed within sixty (60) days.

8.4 Termination for Convenience. You may terminate the Agreement,  an Order Form or Marketplace subscription for convenience at any time during the Subscription Term upon giving us at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice provided that where you terminate for convenience or we terminate for cause pursuant to clause 8.1 (and subject to our other rights and remedies) (i) you shall not be entitled to a refund of any Fees paid by you and (ii) you shall remain fully liable for any and all Fees which are due and payable as at the date of termination and for any annual license fees which would have been due for the remainder of any committed Subscription Term, which amounts shall become immediately payable as at the date of termination.

8.6 Termination by Cloud Provider. You acknowledge that Cloud Provider has the right to terminate your access to the Licensed Software (and our ability to provide access to the Licensed Software) for convenience. In the event that Cloud Provider exercises such right, we shall notify you promptly and this Agreement shall terminate at the end of any winding-down period which is permitted by such Cloud Provider.  We will each use reasonable endeavours to migrate your subscription to a direct subscription, where practicable, provided termination has not resulted from any breach by you of this Agreement or of the terms of your agreement with your Cloud Provider.

We may assign, transfer or novate all or any our rights and obligations under the Agreement to any of our Affiliates for the purposes of internal reorganization or to a successor of our business in the event of the merger or the sale of our business (including a change of control) or all or substantially all of our assets to a third party provided that the assignee, transferee or novatee undertakes to you to be bound by and perform our obligations under the Agreement. Any attempted assignment without required approvals will be null and void and of no legal effect. We may subcontract all or part of the Services to third parties or Affiliates (subcontractors) and/or use Affiliates to perform the Services provided that we have a written agreement with them that contains industry standard confidentiality obligations and we remain responsible for breaches of the Agreement caused by our subcontractors and Affiliates and subject to the Data Processing Agreement referred to in clause 10.17 below.

10.7 Force Majeure. Neither Party will be liable for any failure or delay in performing their obligations (other than obligations to pay) where such failure or delay results from any cause which is beyond that Party’s reasonable control including failure of utilities or the internet, fire, flood, earthquakes, collapse of buildings, explosion, acts of terrorism, acts of war, public health emergencies, governmental action, any law or any action taken by a government or public authority including imposing an export or import restriction, quota or prohibition that prevents or delays the provision of the Licensed Software or any of the Services. Dates or times by which each Party is required to render performance under the Agreement shall be postponed automatically to the extent and for so long that the Party is delayed or prevented from meeting them by such causes. We may terminate the Agreement and/or the provision of any Services on immediate written notice to you if we are not permitted to deliver such Services or to grant you access to the Licensed Software due to an embargo, trade sanction or other comparable restrictive measure.

10.8 Waiver. The failure or delay of either Party to insist upon strict performance of any provision of the Agreement, or to exercise any right or remedy to which it is entitled under or in connection with the Agreement shall not constitute a waiver thereof and no waiver of any breach of the Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any subsequent or continuing breach.

10.9 Entire Agreement and Amendment. Each Party acknowledges that in entering into this Agreement it does not rely on any statement, representation, assurance, or warranty (whether made innocently or negligently) that is not set out in this Agreement. Each Party agrees that the remedies for any claim for innocent or negligent misrepresentation based on any statement in this Agreement shall be limited to the remedies available for breach of contract. The Agreement may be amended or modified only in a written document (which may include the Order Form) and signed by authorized representatives of each Party.

10.10 Severability. If any provision or part-provision of the Agreement is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision or part-provision shall be severed from the remainder of the Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect to the maximum extent permitted by law, given the fundamental intentions of the Parties. If any provision or part-provision of the Agreement is deemed deleted under the foregoing sentence, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to agree a replacement provision that, to the greatest extent possible, achieves the intended commercial result of the original provision.

10.11 Equitable Relief.  Each Party agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such Party of any of its obligations under clause 4 or, any unauthorized use by you of the Licensed Software or any Supplier Intellectual Property Rights, would cause the other Party irreparable harm and significant damages for which there may be no adequate remedy under law and that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other Party will have the right to seek immediate equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity or otherwise.

10.12 Third Party Rights. No person other than the Parties to the Agreement will have the right to enforce any term of the Agreement. In particular, a person who is not a Party to the Agreement will not derive the right to enforce any of the terms of the Agreement including, where the laws of England and Wales apply, by virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 and the rights of any third party under that act are hereby expressly excluded.

The rights of your Authorised Affiliates with respect to the Licensed Software will be no greater than your rights, and the obligations of your Authorised Affiliates with respect to the Licensed Software will be no less than your obligations.
