5.2 Information. Customer will keep and maintain commercially reasonable written records and accounts regarding use of Software for at least three (3) years after expiration of the applicable Software license term.
5.3 Audits. Licensor, or a certified public accountant designated by Licensor, shall have the right, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Customer, to conduct an inspection and audit of all Customer’s relevant facilities and records relating to this Agreement. Such audit shall be conducted during regular business hours at Customer’s offices and data centers and in such manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with Customer’s normal business activities. In no event shall audits be conducted more frequently than once every six (6) months. The audit shall be conducted at Licensor’s expense; provided, however, that if the audit reveals that Customer has failed to comply with any material term of this Agreement, Customer shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Licensor in conducting the audit, and any applicable unpaid fees.
6.1 Limited Warranty. Licensor warrants that, for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of delivery of the Software to the Customer, the Software will substantially conform to the specifications set forth in the Documentation. All specifications are provided based on testing of the Software in a laboratory setting, and actual performance may be affected by network connections, software and hardware configuration and hardware specifications. This limited warranty does not apply to third-party open source software.
6.2 Exclusive Remedy. Licensor’s entire liability and Customer’s exclusive remedy in case of a breach of the foregoing limited warranty shall be correction of the error or, at Licensor’s sole option, replacement of the Software.
6.3 Exclusion of Warranty. This limited warranty is void if the defect has resulted from accident, abuse, negligence, misapplication, or where the Software has not been properly installed or used in accordance with the Documentation.
6.4 Disclaimer. EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTIES SET FORTH ABOVE, THE SOFTWARE AND SUPPORT SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. LICENSOR DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE OR SUPPORT SERVICES WILL MEET CUSTOMER’S REQUIREMENTS OR THAT THE OPERATION THEREOF WILL BE FAIL SAFE, UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR FREE, OR THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL PROTECT AGAINST ALL POSSIBLE THREATS. LICENSOR DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTIES OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, NON-INTERFERENCE, AND ACCURACY OF INFORMATIONAL CONTENT.
6.5 Exceptions. Some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of express or implied warranties, so the above disclaimer may not apply to Customer. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES SHALL BE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD (OR THE MINIMUM PERIOD REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW).
IN NO EVENT, WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL LICENSOR OR ITS LICENSORS, PARTNERS, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, COSTS, LOSSES OR EXPENSE, (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, LOSS OR INTERRUPTION OF USE, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, DAMAGE TO NETWORKS, EQUIPMENT, OR HARDWARE, OR THE COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR TECHNOLOGY). Regardless of whether the claim for such damages is based in contract, tort, or any other legal theory, in no event shall Licensor’s aggregate liability to Customer for direct damages exceed the original purchase price of the Software, Support Services or other amounts paid by Customer, even if Licensor has been advised of such damages. The foregoing limitations shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY HEREIN IS BASED ON THE FACT THAT END USERS USE THEIR COMPUTERS FOR DIFFERENT PURPOSES. ACCORDINGLY, ONLY CUSTOMER CAN IMPLEMENT BACK-UP PLANS AND SAFEGUARDS APPROPRIATE TO CUSTOMER’S NEEDS IN THE ENTENT AN ERROR IN THE SOFTWARE CAUSES COMPUTER PROBLEMS AND RELATED DATA LOSSES. FOR THESE BUSINESS REASONS, CUSTOMER AGREES TO THE LIABILITY LIMITATIONS HEREIN AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WITHOUT CUSTOMER’S AGREEMENT TO THIS PROVISION, THE FEES CHARGED FOR THE SOFTWARE WOULD BE HIGHER.
8.1 Confidentiality. Customer acknowledges and agree that the Software incorporates confidential and proprietary information (“Confidential Information”) developed or acquired by Licensor including, but not limited to, technical and non-technical data, formulas, patterns, compilations, devices, methods, techniques, drawings and processes related to the Software, which constitutes the valuable intellectual property of Licensor and its suppliers.
8.2 Use of Confidential Information. Each party will comply with all laws and regulations that apply to use, transmission, storage, disclosure, or destruction of Confidential Information. Both Parties agree to hold the other party’s Confidential Information in the strictest confidence. Confidential Information shall not be disclosed by either party to anyone except an employee, or agent who has a need to know same, or who is bound by a non-disclosure and confidentiality provision at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Agreement. Each party agrees to ensure that its employees, agents, representatives, and contractors are advised of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and are precluded from taking any action prohibited under this Agreement. Licensor may use any technical information that Customer provides to Licensor for any of Licensor’s reasonable business purposes, including product support and development. Customer acknowledges that the Software may include a monitoring capability that sends statistics about performance, crash traces, software version and software usage remotely to Licensor.
8.3 Ownership of Information. Except as explicitly stated in this Agreement, the party receiving the Confidential Information is granted no license or conveyance of disclosing party’s Confidential Information or any intellectual property rights therein. Title to the disclosing party’s Confidential Information shall remain solely with the party disclosing the Confidential Information.
8.4 Remedies. It is further understood and agreed that money damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement and that either party may be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach. Such remedies may not be deemed exclusive remedies for a breach of these provisions but may be deemed in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity.
8.5 Notices. Licensor may send Customer required legal notices and other communications about the Software, including special offers and pricing or other similar information, customer surveys or other requests for feedback (“Communications”). Licensor will send Communications via in-product notices or email to registered email addresses of named contacts, or will post Communications on Licensor’s website. Customer may notify Licensor of Customer’s preference not to receive any such Communications (which may have a technical impact on Customer’s use of the Software and the provision of any Support Services). Licensor reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, to revise, supplement, and otherwise modify this Agreement and to impose new or additional rules, policies, terms or conditions (collectively, “Additional Terms”) on Customer’s use of the Software. Such Additional Terms will be effective immediately and incorporated into this Agreement upon posting the revised agreement on Licensor’s website and Customer waives any right to receive a specific notice of each such revision. Customer’s use of the Software signifies acceptance of the Agreement inclusive of future revisions.
This Agreement and the licenses granted hereunder shall remain in effect until terminated by either party. Licensor may terminate this Agreement and the licenses granted hereunder, upon written notice for any material breach of this Agreement that Customer fails to cure within sixty (60) days following written notice specifying such breach. Customer may terminate this Agreement and the licenses granted hereunder upon written notice for any material breach of this Agreement that Licensor fails to cure within sixty (60) days following written notice specifying such breach.
In the event of a claim that the Software infringes or violates any patents, copyrights, trade secrets, or other proprietary rights of a third-party the Software or any portion thereof is held to constitute an infringement and its use is enjoined, Licensor may, at its sole option and expense, (i) modify the infringing Software so that it is non-infringing, (ii) procure for Customer the right to continue to use the infringing Software, or (iii) replace said Software with suitable, non-infringing software. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor will have no obligation for any claims to the extent such claims result from (i) modifications or alterations of the Software made by or for Customer or any other party that were not provided by Licensor or authorized by Licensor in writing; (ii) use outside the scope of the license granted hereunder, (iii) use of a superseded or previous version of the Software if infringement would have been avoided by the use of a newer version which Licensor made available to Customer, or (iv) use of the Software in combination with any other software, hardware or products not supplied by Licensor. This indemnity obligation is subject to the limitation of liability and does not apply to any open source components of the Software.
11.1 Assignment. Neither party may assign this Agreement or any right or obligation hereunder without the other party’s prior written consent. However, Licensor may assign this Agreement in the event of a merger or consolidation or the purchase of all or substantially all of its assets. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the permitted successors and assigns of each party.
11.2 Force Majeure. Licensor will not be held responsible for any failure, delay or interruption caused by circumstances outside its control, such as network failure, network connection failure, earthquake, flooding, strikes, embargos or acts of government. If such event giving rise to Force Majeure lasts for more than sixty (60) days, then either party may terminate this Agreement without such termination giving rise to any liability or right to any refund.
11.3. Taxes. Customer agrees to pay all taxes (including but not limited to sales, use, excise, and value-added taxes), tariffs, duties, customs fees or similar charges imposed or levied on the Software Customer licenses, with the exception of taxes on Licensor’s net income.
11.4 Entire Agreement and Amendments. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all written or oral prior agreements or understandings between the parties. The terms of this Agreement may not be modified except by a written agreement signed by both parties.
11.5 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held illegal or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed severed from the remaining provisions of this Agreement and shall not affect or impair the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
11.6 Waiver. No failure of either party to exercise or enforce any of its rights under this Agreement will act as a waiver of those rights.
11.7 Choice of Law and Venue. The validity, interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Sultanate of Oman without giving effect to the conflicts of law provisions thereof or the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Customer hereby irrevocably consents to jurisdiction of courts located in the Sultanate of Oman.
11.8 Relationship of the Parties. Each party will be and act as an independent contractor and not as an agent or partner of, or joint venturer with the other party, and neither party will have any right, power or authority to act or create any obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other party.
