We reserve the right to make partial deliveries and to make the Software and Documentation available in electronic format. If You require physical delivery, shipment of Software is F.O.B Origin and includes one production copy. Delivery Dates are good faith estimates.

2.2 Acceptance. Acceptance of the Software including any Third Party Product shall be deemed to take place on the Delivery Date.

3. LIMITED LICENCE.

3.1 Licence Grant. Subject to Us being paid the applicable fees and the terms and conditions of this EULA, We grant to You and (if applicable and where noted in writing and the relevant additional fees paid, the Licensed Companies), for the Term either:

3.1.1 a personal, non-transferable, non-assignable, non-exclusive, indivisible, licence to run and use the Software listed in the Contract solely on the COE, for Your own business operations as enabled by the licence keys (if applicable), and use the Documentation in connection with such use of the Software. You may use the Software only on the Equipment at the Location. Use on different equipment or at a different location, including those operated by an authorised third party outsourcing/hosting provider, requires Our prior written consent; or

3.1.2 the right to access and use the Software on a subscription basis, solely for Your internal business purposes, as documented in the Contract.

3.2 Licence Metrics. All fees are based on the Licence Metrics purchased and the Term. Use of the Software is expressly limited to the maximum number of Licence Metrics and the use rights and limitations as set forth in the Contract. Additional Licence Metrics and associated Support Services must be purchased under an additional Contract at the pricing and under the licensing model in effect at the time the additional licences and services are added, in the event actual use exceeds the licensed quantities. Support Services related to Additional Items shall be prorated so as to coincide with the remainder of the then-current Term. Unauthorised usage in excess of the agreed Licence Metrics is deemed a material breach of this EULA.

3.3 Licensed Companies. You may authorise use of the Software by a Licensed Company, provided (i) such Licensed Company agrees in writing to abide by the terms of this EULA, and (ii) the combined use of the Software or Support Services hereunder by You and Licensed Companies shall in no event exceed the Licence Metrics authorised under the Contract. For the avoidance of doubt, use by a Licensed Company under this provision DOES NOT grant such company a licence to use the Software in their own right, but only by virtue of their relationship with You, Our licensee. On termination of this EULA or a Contract between You and the Reseller, all rights granted to Licensed Companies shall also terminate. You hereby guarantee the performance of all terms and obligations of this EULA by any such Licensed Company and agree to comply with any injunction arising out of any breach by a Licensed Company of this EULA. Any breach of this EULA by any Licensed Company shall be deemed to be a breach by You, and We will enforce the applicable terms and obligations of this EULA against You in such circumstances.

3.4 Copies. You may make one copy of the Software solely for back-up and archival purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, back-up and archival purposes under this clause 3.4 do not include use of such copy for standby, failure, disaster recovery, load sharing, testing or similar deployment on a separate machine from the Equipment. You will need to procure additional Licence Metrics from Us or the Reseller to facilitate such activities.

3.5 Third Party Products. Where We or the Reseller supply Third Party Products to You (as noted in the Contract) or Our Software incorporates Third Party Products, You undertake that You shall use the Third Party Products solely in conjunction with Our Software and You shall have no broader use rights with respect to the Third Party Products than You have to Our Software. You acknowledge and accept that it may be necessary for Us to impose certain additional obligations on you in respect of such Third Party Products You procure from Us, therefore, wherever the Contract details Third Party Products being supplied under this EULA, You agree to observe the Third Party EULA in addition to the terms of this EULA.

3.6 Where We do not supply any Third Party Product, and Third Party Product(s) is/are required for deployment of Our Software or otherwise are used in connection with Our Software (i.e. You source Third Party Product(s) elsewhere), it is Your responsibility to source and maintain such Third Party Product independently of Us. Further, You shall supply to Us or the Reseller and keep updated any details of the Third Party Product licences such as limits or restrictions, where such limits or restrictions will materially affect any Support Services provided by Us or the Reseller. In these circumstances, We accept no liability whatsoever in respect of the Third Party Product and You shall fully indemnify Us against all claims, demands, actions, costs, expenses (including but not limited to full legal costs and disbursements on a solicitor and client basis), losses and damages arising from or incurred by reason of any infringement or alleged infringement of any intellectual property right by Our use of Third Party Product in connection with this EULA.

4. SUPPORT.

4.1 Requirement for On-going Grant of Licence. The ongoing grant of licence and Your use of the Software is dependent on You procuring ongoing Support from Us or the Reseller or (where applicable) an authorised Support Partner, under separate terms and conditions for that service. All licences in Your possession must be supported, and where tiered Support is offered, all licences must be supported at the same tier. Support starts on the Delivery Date and continues during the Term. In the event that Your Support is not renewed or is otherwise terminated, Your licence to the Software shall automatically terminate.

4.2 Exclusions. We are under no obligation to provide Support to You (via an authorised partner, Reseller or otherwise) with respect to: (i) Software that has been altered or modified by anyone other than Us or Our licensors; (ii) a release/version for which Support has been discontinued unless expressly agreed in writing; (iii) Software used other than in accordance with the Documentation or other than on a COE; (iv) discrepancies that do not significantly impair or affect the operation of the Software; (v) any systems or programs not supplied by Us.

5. CONFIDENTIALITY.

5.1 Defined. By virtue of this EULA, the parties may be exposed to or be provided with certain confidential and proprietary information of the other party or third parties, including but not limited to information designated as confidential in writing or information which ought to be in good faith considered confidential and proprietary to the disclosing party (“Confidential Information”).

5.2 Non-Disclosure. Each party will protect the other party’s Confidential Information from unauthorised dissemination and use the same degree of care that each such party uses to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than a reasonable amount of care. Neither party will use Confidential Information of the other party for purposes other than those necessary to directly further the purposes of this EULA. Neither party will disclose to third parties Confidential Information without prior written consent of the other party. Information shall not be considered Confidential Information to the extent, but only to the extent, that the receiving party can establish that such information (i) is or becomes generally known or available to the public through no fault of the receiving party; (ii) was lawfully in the receiving party’s possession before receipt from the disclosing party without a duty of confidentiality; (iii) is lawfully obtained from a third party who has the right to make such disclosure on a non-confidential basis; or (iv) has been independently developed by one party without reference to any Confidential Information of the other. We or Our affiliates (which for the avoidance of doubt includes Our Group) may use and distribute, for any lawful purposes outside of this EULA, Customer Data and any other data that You provide to Us, provided always that such data is aggregated anonymous, and de-identified. We and Our licensors or suppliers may monitor the usage, performance and operation of the Licensed Materials using electronic, remote and other means to access Your systems and without notice to You.

5.3 Required Disclosure. The receiving party may disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing party if it is required by law to do so, provided the receiving party gives the disclosing party prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the disclosing party’s cost, if the disclosing party wishes to contest the disclosure.

8.11 We will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that any services agreed in writing between You and Us are supplied promptly in accordance with any dates as agreed by the parties having regard to the availability of personnel but any delivery dates or times quoted for delivery, commencement or completion of any part of the services or deliverables will be estimates only and time will not be of the essence.

8.12 The parties have considered the exclusions and limitations of liability in this EULA in the context of all the circumstances of the transaction to which this EULA relates (including the parties’ respective insurance cover) and all the factors referred to in Schedule 2 of the Unfair Contracts Terms Act 1977. The parties consider that such exclusions and limitations of liability are fair and reasonable and that, but for such exclusions and limitations, the parties would not have entered into this EULA. For the purposes of the Unfair Contracts Terms Act 1977 each party acknowledges and agrees that every provision of this EULA has been the subject of negotiations between the parties, even if the words used in any provision of this EULA have been used by a party in other contractual arrangements and/or in standard form contract documentation used by that party.

You shall (A) provide any assistance reasonably requested by Us or Our designee in conducting any such audit, including installing and operating audit software, (B) make requested personnel, records, and information available to Us or Our designee, and (C) in all cases, provide such assistance, personnel, records, systems access and information in an expeditious manner to facilitate the timely completion of such compliance verification. Audits shall be performed during regular business hours. If the audit reveals any noncompliance, You shall reimburse Us for the reasonable costs and expenses of such verification process (including, but not limited to the fees of an independent auditor) incurred by Us, and You shall promptly remedy any such noncompliance, including without limitation through the payment of any and all fees owed to Us during the period of noncompliance; provided, however, that the obligations under this subclause do not constitute a waiver of Our termination rights. Additionally, We may at any time, without notice, during the term of this EULA access Your system to assess compliance with this EULA. You acknowledge that the Software and Support Services may include a licence manager component to track usage of the Software and/or Support Services and agree not to impede, disable or otherwise undermine such licence manager’s operation.

10.8 Survival. The termination of this EULA in accordance with clause 10 or its expiry shall not prejudice or affect any rights or liabilities which accrued or thereafter shall accrue to either party, any rights or remedies a party may be entitled to hereunder or at law nor the coming into or continuance in force of any provision hereof which is expressly or by implication intended to come into or continue in force on after such termination.

10.9 No Waiver. No forbearance or delay by either party in enforcing its rights shall prejudice or restrict the rights of that party and no waiver of any such rights or of any breach of any contractual terms shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other right or of any later breach.

10.10 Entire Agreement. This EULA constitutes the parties’ entire agreement relating to its subject matter. Each party acknowledges that in entering into this EULA, it has not relied on any representation, undertaking, promise or statement whether oral or in writing which is not expressly set out in this EULA.

10.11 Variation. No modification to this EULA will be binding unless in writing and includes a signature by an authorised representative of each party. All pre-printed or standard terms of any of Your purchase order or other business processing document shall have no effect.

10.12 Third Party Rights. The Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 is excluded, by the agreement of the parties to this EULA, from applying to this EULA to the maximum extent permitted by law. No term of this EULA is enforceable by any person who is not a party to it, whether in accordance with such Act or otherwise. This clause shall prevail in the event of any conflict between it and anything else in this EULA. Notwithstanding the above, the parties acknowledge that all rights and benefits afforded to Us under this EULA shall apply equally to the owner of the Third Party Product with respect to the Third Party Product You procure from Us, and such third party is an intended third party beneficiary of this EULA, with respect to the Third Party Product as applicable.

10.13 Anti-Bribery. Each party shall, and shall procure that its officers and employees shall;

  • comply with all applicable Anti-Bribery Laws;
  • 10.13.1 not offer, promise, give, request, agree to receive, receive or accept a bribe or financial or other advantage or commit any corrupt act; and
  • 10.13.2 have and shall maintain in place throughout the term of this EULA its own policies and procedures, including adequate procedures under the Bribery Act, to ensure compliance with the Anti-Bribery Laws and will enforce them where appropriate.

10.14 Governing Law and Jurisdiction. The Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of England and Wales and each party agrees to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

10.15 Order of Precedence. To the extent any provision of this EULA conflict with the provisions of a Third Party EULA, the Third Party EULA will take precedence but only in respect of the relevant Third Party Product. In the event of a conflict between the Contract and this EULA, the EULA shall prevail. The terms of Your purchase order or any other business processing document (if any) shall be superseded and excluded by the terms and conditions of this EULA and therefore have no effect.
