Part 1 – General Terms
This International Program License and Support Agreement (the “IPLSA”) governs Orders of Programs and Support from Certent by Licensee. This IPLSA includes Part 1 – General Terms, Part 2 – Country-unique Terms (if any), and Part 3 – Support Attachment. The terms of Part 2 may replace or modify those of Part 1; only those terms in Part 2 for the country indicated as the address for Licensee in the applicable Order are applicable to that Order, which country shall be considered the country of acquisition of the Program license included in that Order. This IPLSA, applicable Orders and any attachments referenced in the foregoing are the complete agreement regarding the transaction by which Licensee acquires Programs and Support from Certent (collectively, the “Agreement”) and replace any prior oral or written communications between Licensee and Certent concerning Licensee’s use of Programs or Support. If there is a conflict, the applicable Order prevails over this IPLSA. Licensee and Certent agree to coordinate the administration of the Agreement within their respective Enterprises, which includes the set of legal entities that, by more than 50%, owns, are owned by, or are under common ownership with the party. Licensee is responsible for compliance with the Agreement for all sites within Licensee’s Enterprise.

1. Definitions

Authorized Use – the specified level at which Licensee is authorized to execute or run the Program as specified by Certent in the applicable Order.

Certent – Certent, Inc. or one of its subsidiaries.

Certent Business Partners – organizations which have signed agreements with Certent to promote and market Programs and in certain situations provide tier 1 Support.

Order(s) – quotations that have been submitted by Certent to Licensee, signed by Licensee, returned to Certent and accepted by Certent signing; and that set forth the Programs (indicating whether via an on-premises license or SaaS license), Authorized Use and Support to be provided to Licensee.

Program(s) – the following for programs specified in an Order, including the original and all whole or partial copies: 1) machine-readable instructions and data, 2) components, files, and modules, 3) audio-visual content (such as images, text, recordings, or pictures), and 4) related licensed materials (such as keys and documentation).

SaaS –remote access and use through the Internet of the functionality of Programs; SaaS is not a Program, but may require Licensee to download enabling software to use it, which software shall be treated as a Program.

Support – maintenance and support services provided by Certent (or the applicable Certent Business Partner) in connection with Licensee’s use of Programs, as described in Section 4 below.

Warranty Period – one year, starting on the date the applicable Order has been accepted by Certent.

2. Agreement Structure

Licensee and thereafter each of its participating Enterprise companies accept and agree to the Agreement by Licensee submitting to Certent a signed quotation that had been delivered to Licensee by Certent. The Agreement is effective on the date Certent accepts by signing the initial Order under the Agreement (the “Effective Date”) and remains in effect until Licensee or Certent terminates it in accordance with its provisions. A Program is subject to the Agreement when Certent accepts by signing Licensee’s Order for that Program.

Because the Agreement may apply to future Orders, Certent reserves the right to modify it by providing Licensee at least three months’ written notice and specifying the effective date of such changes. Changes are not retroactive; they apply, as of the specified effective date, only to new Orders and renewals. Licensee accepts changes by placing new Orders after the specified effective date or allowing transactions to renew after receipt of the change notice. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, all other changes must be in writing, signed by both parties.

Certent Business Partners are independent from Certent and unilaterally determine their prices and terms. Certent is not responsible for their actions, omissions, statements, or offerings.

3. License Grants

The Programs are owned by Certent or a Certent supplier, and are copyrighted and licensed, not sold.

3.1 On-Premises Licenses

If the applicable Order specifies that Licensee is receiving an on-premises license, Certent grants Licensee a nonexclusive license to 1) use the Program up to the Authorized Use specified in the applicable Order, 2) make and install copies in connection with such Authorized Use, and 3) make a backup copy, all only during the License Term specified in the applicable Order and all provided that:

  1. Licensee has lawfully obtained the Program and complies with the terms of the Agreement;
  2. the backup copy does not execute unless the backed-up Program cannot execute;
  3. Licensee reproduces all copyright notices and other legends of ownership on each copy, or partial copy, of the Program;
  4. Licensee ensures that anyone who uses the Program (accessed either locally or remotely) 1) does so only on Licensee’s behalf and 2) complies with the terms of the Agreement;
  5. Licensee does not 1) use, copy, or modify the Program, except as expressly permitted in the Agreement; 2) reverse assemble, reverse compile, otherwise translate, or reverse engineer the Program, except as expressly permitted by law without the possibility of contractual waiver; 3) use any of the Program’s components, files, modules, audio-visual content, or related licensed materials separately from that Program; or 4) sublicense, rent, lease, transfer or distribute the Program; and
  6. With the exception of certain Programs that Certent designates as platform or operating system specific, Licensee may use and install Programs in any commercially available national language for any platform or operating system supported by Certent up to the level of Licensee’s authorizations.

This license applies to each copy of the Program that Licensee makes.

Where the applicable Order specifies a fixed License Term, the licenses begin on the date Licensee’s applicable Order is accepted by Certent and extend for the number of years indicated in the applicable Order. Each fixed term license automatically renews for the same length of time as the ending fixed term at then current charges at the end of each fixed term, unless Licensee provides written notice of termination to Certent at least ninety (90) days prior to expiration of the then current fixed term. To reinstate any expired fixed term license, Licensee may not renew and must acquire a new fixed term license. Certent may pro-rate charges for fixed term licenses to align with Licensee’s Effective Date.

Where the applicable Order specifies a perpetual License Term, the licenses begin on the date Licensee’s applicable Order is accepted by Certent and continue until terminated in accordance with this Agreement.

3.2 SaaS Licenses

If the applicable Order specifies that Licensee is receiving a SaaS license, Licensee may access and use the Program via SaaS, only to the extent of the Authorized Use specified in the applicable Order and only during the SaaS Subscription Period for the applicable Order, provided that Licensee:

  1. does not provide hosting or timesharing services for the Program to any third party;
  2. ensures that anyone who accesses or uses the Program with Licensee’s account credentials 1) does so only on Licensee’s behalf and 2) complies with the terms of the Agreement; Licensee is responsible for use of SaaS by anyone who so accesses the Program;
  3. does not 1) use the Program, except as expressly permitted in the Agreement; 2) reverse assemble, reverse compile, otherwise translate, or reverse engineer the Program, except as expressly permitted by law without the possibility of contractual waiver; 3) use any of the Program’s components, files, modules, audio-visual content, or related licensed materials separately from that Program; or 4) sublicense, rent, lease or otherwise transfer access to the Program; or
  4. does not use the Program for unlawful, obscene, offensive or fraudulent content or activity, in any jurisdiction for any user, such as advocating or causing harm, interfering with or violating the integrity or security of a network or system, evading filters, sending unsolicited, abusive or deceptive messages, viruses or harmful code, or violating third party rights.

If there is a complaint or notice of violation, use may be suspended until resolved, and terminated if not resolved promptly.

The SaaS Subscription Period begins on the date Licensee’s applicable Order is accepted by Certent and extends for the SaaS Subscription Period indicated in the applicable Order. Each SaaS Subscription Period automatically renews for the same length of time as the ending SaaS Subscription Period at the then current charges at the end of each SaaS Subscription Period, unless Licensee provides written notice of termination to Certent at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the then current SaaS Subscription Period. To reinstate any expired SaaS Subscription Period, Licensee may not renew and must acquire a new SaaS license. Certent may pro-rate charges for SaaS licenses to align with Licensee’s Effective Date.

Certent may perform regularly scheduled maintenance during maintenance windows defined by Certent; other scheduled and non-scheduled down times may occur (e.g., due to events or causes beyond Certent’s control). Access to Programs via SaaS will not be available during these times.

Certent implements and maintains practices and procedures, which may be revised periodically, regarding the systems used to host and operate access to the Programs via SaaS. These practices and procedures are designed to reduce the vulnerability of Certent’s systems to accidental loss, unlawful intrusions, unauthorized access, disclosure or alteration or wrongful conduct that may interfere with, misappropriate, or otherwise damage the Licensee’s use. A description of the practices and procedures applicable to the SaaS, including applicable technical and operational measures, is available to Licensee upon request. Licensee is responsible for determining whether these practices and procedures are appropriate to meet Licensee’s requirements. By using the SaaS to access Programs, Licensee acknowledges its acceptance of the Certent practices and procedures and their adequacy for Licensee’s purposes. Certent will provide Licensee notice of any unauthorized third party access to Licensee’s content stored within Programs accessed via SaaS of which Certent becomes aware and will use reasonable efforts to remediate identified security vulnerabilities. If Licensee’s content is lost or damaged, Certent will assist Licensee in restoring it to the SaaS from the last available backup copy in compatible format.

Licensee acknowledges that Certent and its subsidiaries do not control the transfer of data over telecommunications facilities, including the Internet. Certent will only provide access and use of Licensee’s proprietary content to Certent employees and contractors as needed to deliver access and use of Programs via SaaS. Certent will not disclose Licensee’s proprietary content and will return (on request) or destroy it upon the expiration or cancellation of Licensee’s access to Programs via SaaS. Certent will provide Licensee notice of any unauthorized third party access to Licensee’s content of which Certent becomes aware and will use reasonable efforts to remediate identified security vulnerabilities.

Licensee is the sole controller for any personal data included in the content stored within Programs accessed via SaaS , and appoints Certent as a processor to process such personal data (as those terms are defined in applicable law). Certent will treat such content as confidential by not disclosing it other than to Certent employees and contractors for use only to the extent needed to deliver access to the Programs via the SaaS. Certent will return (on request) or destroy it upon the expiration or cancellation of access to the Programs via the SaaS or earlier upon Client’s request. Certent may charge for certain activities performed at Licensee’s request (such as delivering content in a specific format). Certent may use processors and subprocessors (including personnel and resources) in locations worldwide to deliver access to the Programs via the SaaS. Certent may transfer Client’s personal data across country borders, including outside the European Economic Area (EEA). A list of countries where content may be processed is available upon request, as is a list of subprocessors. Upon request by either party, Certent, Licensee or their affiliates will enter into additional agreements required by law for the protection of personal data included in content, such as the standard unmodified EU Model Clause agreements pursuant to EC Decision 2010/87/EU with optional clauses removed. The parties agree (and will procure that of their respective affiliates) that such additional agreements will be subject to the terms of the Agreement. Certent, its affiliates, and their third party suppliers may process, store and use account data wherever they do business to enable product features, administer use, personalize experience, and otherwise support or improve use of the Programs accessed via SaaS. Account data is all information (which may include personal data) about Licensee or its users provided to or collected by Certent (including through tracking and other technologies, such as cookies).

Certent may modify a Program being accessed via SaaS during the SaaS Subscription Period, without degrading its functionality or security features; any change that affects the commercial terms (e.g., charges) will not be effective until the next agreed renewal or extension of the SaaS Subscription Period. During a SaaS Subscription Period, Licensee may increase Licensee’s subscribed level, but may only decrease the subscribed level at the end of a Subscription Period when renewing. During a SaaS Subscription Period, Support is available only for the currently supported versions of the Programs accessed via SaaS.

3.3 Withdrawals

Certent may withdraw access to a Program or Support (collectively “Options”) on 12 months’ written notice to all then current licensees by published announcement, letter, or e-mail. If Certent withdraws an Option, Licensee understands that as of the effective date of such withdrawal, Licensee may not, without Certent’s written consent, renew or purchase that Option, or increase its level of use beyond the authorizations already acquired, Licensee may continue to use/receive that Option until the end of the then current License Term or SaaS Subscription Period, as applicable.

4. Support

Support from Certent includes (a) code corrections: code to correct reported, substantial deviations from the Program’s then applicable specifications; (b) fixes: restrictions or known workarounds for reported problems; and (c) updates: periodic releases of collections of code corrections, fixes, functional enhancements and new versions and releases to the Program and documentation Certent makes generally available. When Licensee receives a code correction, fix or update, Licensee accepts any additional or different terms that are applicable to such code correction, fix or update. If no additional or different terms are provided, then the code correction, fix or update is subject solely to the Agreement. If a Program is replaced by an update, Licensee agrees to promptly discontinue use of the replaced Program.

Tier 1 Support to Licensee includes (i) training Licensee on how to access and use the Programs; (ii) setting-up Licensee to be able to access and use the Programs without assistance from Certent; (iii) providing a reasonable amount of remote assistance via telephone or electronically for Licensee’s routine, short duration installation and usage (how-to) questions when answers to those questions are available in associated documentation applicable to the Programs made available by Certent (“Documentation”); (iv) receiving the initial call from Licensee concerning an alleged failure of the Programs to materially function in accordance with its Documentation (an “Error”); (v) to the extent a correction to any such alleged Error is known or in the Documentation, providing Licensee with such correction; and (vi) if a correction is not known, creating a report in Certent’s call management system relating to any such initial call from Licensee and alleged Error. If Licensee has obtained a Program from a Certent Business Partner and if Certent, not that Certent Business Partner, provides Licensee with the tier 1 Support described in this paragraph during the first year of Support, that Certent Business Partner will invoice Licensee directly for that first year support and Certent will invoice Licensee directly for all subsequent years.

Support for Programs licensed on a perpetual License Term basis is sometimes referred to as S&S (Subscription & Support). If the applicable Order includes S&S, Support will be provided for each Program licensed, for the period that begins on the date the applicable Order is accepted by Certent and ends on the day before the anniversary of such date in the following year. The term for S&S automatically renews at then current charges, unless Licensee provides at least ninety (90) days written notice of termination prior to expiration of the then current term. Certent may pro-rate charges for S&S to align with Licensee’s Effective Date. If Licensee terminates S&S, Certent does not issue a credit or refund for the unused Support term. If Licensee allows S&S to lapse and thereafter wishes to purchase S&S, a reinstatement fee consistent with Certent’s then current policies will apply, together with the then current applicable S&S fee.

Support does not include assistance for 1) the design and development of applications, 2) Licensee’s use of Programs in other than their specified operating environment or 3) failures caused by products for which Certent is not responsible under the Agreement. Support for a particular version or release of a Program is available only until Certent withdraws Support for that Program’s version or release. When Support is withdrawn, Licensee must upgrade to a supported version or release of the Program to continue to receive Support. Additional details concerning Support for on-premises Program licenses are attached hereto as Part 3 – Support Attachment.

Licensee agrees that when Licensee acquires Support for a Program:

  1. Licensee will acquire Support at the same level of use as that at which the Program it is authorized; partial coverage for a Program is not offered;
  2. Licensee is responsible for the results obtained from the use of the Support;
  3. Licensee will, at Certent’s request, allow Certent to remotely access Licensee’s system to assist Licensee in isolating the software problem cause;
  4. Licensee remains responsible for adequately protecting Licensee’s system and all data contained in it whenever Certent remotely accesses it with Licensee’s permission to assist Licensee in isolating the software problem cause;
  5. Licensee will provide sufficient, free, and safe access to Licensee facilities for Certent to fulfill its obligations; and
  6. Licensee will not assign, or otherwise transfer, Licensee’s rights to Support.

If Licensee elects to continue Support for a Program at a designated Licensee site, Licensee must maintain Support for all uses and installations of the Program at that site.

If Licensee requests to renew expiring Support at a lesser quantity of Program uses and installations than the expiring quantity, Licensee must provide a report that verifies current Program usage and installation, and may be required to provide other compliance verification information.

Licensee shall not use Support benefits for Programs for which Licensee has not fully paid for Support.

5. Charges and Payments

Charges are based on Authorized Use obtained, which is specified in the applicable Order. If Licensee wishes to increase its Authorized Use, Licensee must notify Certent in advance and pay any applicable charges.

Charges for each Program (whether for fixed period or for SaaS Subscription Period) and for each Support period are invoiced in advance. Certent may increase these charges without notice. An increase will not apply to Licensee if Certent receives Licensee’s applicable Order before the effective date of the increase. Licensee receives the benefit of a decrease in these charges for amounts which become due on or after the effective date of the decrease.

Licensee agrees to pay all applicable charges specified by Certent, charges for use in excess of authorizations, any customs or other duty, tax (including, good and services tax, retail sales tax, value-added, use or withholding taxes), levy, or fee imposed by any authority resulting from Licensee’s acquisitions under the Agreement, and any late payment fees.

Amounts are due upon receipt of the invoice and payable within 30 days of the invoice date. All payments must be in US dollars. Prepaid services must be used within the applicable period.

Certent does not give credits or refunds for any prepaid, one-time charges, or other charges already due or paid.

Licensee is responsible to pay communications charges associated with accessing the Programs via SaaS and Support.

6. Taxes

If any authority imposes on the Program or Support a duty, tax (including, good and services tax, retail sales tax, value-added, use or withholding taxes), levy, or fee, excluding those based on Certent’s net income, then Licensee agrees to pay that amount, as specified in an invoice, or supply exemption documentation. Licensee is responsible for any personal property taxes for the Program from the date that Licensee obtains it. If any authority imposes a customs duty, tax, levy, or fee for the import into or the export, transfer, access, or use of the Program outside the country of acquisition of the Program license, then Licensee agrees that it is responsible for, and will pay, any amount imposed.

Licensee agrees to: i) pay withholding tax directly to the appropriate government entity where required by law; ii) furnish a tax certificate evidencing such payment to Certent iii) pay Certent only the net proceeds after tax; and iv) fully cooperate with Certent in seeking a waiver or reduction of such taxes and promptly complete and file all relevant documents.

7. Term and Termination

The Agreement is effective until terminated. Either party may terminate the Agreement if the other does not comply with any of its terms, provided the one not complying is given written notice and reasonable time to comply.

If Licensee acquired or renewed access to a Program via SaaS, a fixed term license, or Support prior to the notice of termination, Certent may continue to provide such access, license or Support to allow Licensee to use the Program and Support for the remainder of the current term(s).

Licensee will be considered to have terminated the Agreement if neither it nor any of its participating Enterprise companies have an Order covering a Program or Support in effect. Where the applicable Order specifies a perpetual License Term, Licensee may terminate such Order at any time following payment in full of all fees specified in such Order by destroying all copies of the Programs within its possession or control, effective immediately upon written notice to

Certent. In such case, Licensee shall not be entitled to a refund of any amounts paid under this Agreement except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

Upon termination of the Agreement, Licensee agrees to promptly discontinue use of all Programs and destroy all of Licensee’s copies of a Program, if any. Any terms that by their nature extend beyond termination remain in effect until fulfilled, and apply to respective successors and assignees.

8. Warranty, Exclusions and Indemnity

8.1 Limited Warranty

Unless Certent specifies otherwise, the following warranties apply only in the country of acquisition of the Program license.

Certent warrants that during the Warranty Period the Program, when used in its specified operating environment if use is on-premises or when accessed via SaaS, will conform to its specifications. The Program’s specifications, and specified operating environment information, can be found in documentation accompanying the Program. Licensee agrees that such documentation and other Program content may be supplied only in the English language, unless otherwise required by local law without the possibility of contractual waiver or limitation. This warranty applies only to the unmodified portion of the Program.
If the Program does not function as warranted during the Warranty Period and the problem cannot be resolved within a reasonable time by Certent, and if Licensee has an on-premises license, Licensee may return the Program to the party (either Certent or the Certent Business Partner) from whom Licensee obtained it and receive a prorated refund of the amount Licensee paid; Licensee should contact the party from whom Licensee obtained the Program for instructions on how to obtain the refund. After returning the Program, Licensee’s Program license terminates.

If the Program does not function as warranted during the Warranty Period and the problem cannot be resolved within a reasonable time by Certent, and if Licensee has a SaaS license, Licensee may notify Certent that Licensee will cease accessing and using the Program and Licensee will then receive a prorated refund of the amount Licensee paid. After providing such notification, Licensee’s SaaS license terminates.

Certent warrants it provides Support using reasonable care and skill. If the Support does not meet this warranty, and Certent is unable to make it do so within a reasonable time, upon Licensee’s request, Certent will give Licensee a prorated refund of amounts prepaid by Licensee for the nonconforming Support, and Licensee’s right to use the Support, as applicable, will terminate.

Certent does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Program or that Certent will correct all defects or prevent third party disruptions or unauthorized third party access to a Program. These warranties are the exclusive warranties from Certent and replace all other warranties, including the implied warranties or conditions of satisfactory quality, merchantability, non-infringement, and fitness for a particular purpose. Certent warranties will not apply if there has been misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment, operation in other than the specified operating environment, failure caused by a product for which Certent is not responsible, damage not caused by Certent, failure to comply with instructions provided by Certent, or if otherwise stated in the applicable Order.

8.2 Exclusions

THESE WARRANTIES ARE LICENSEE’S EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND ANY WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF NON-INFRINGEMENT. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO LICENSEE. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO LICENSEE.

THESE WARRANTIES GIVE LICENSEE SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS. LICENSEE MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM STATE TO STATE OR JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.

THE WARRANTIES IN THIS SECTION 8 (WARRANTY AND EXCLUSIONS) ARE PROVIDED SOLELY BY CERTENT. THE DISCLAIMERS IN THIS SUBSECTION 8.2 (EXCLUSIONS), HOWEVER, ALSO APPLY TO CERTENT’S SUPPLIERS OF THIRD PARTY CODE. THOSE SUPPLIERS PROVIDE SUCH CODE WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND. THIS PARAGRAPH DOES NOT NULLIFY CERTENT’S WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE AGREEMENT.

8.3 Indemnity

If a third party asserts a claim against Licensee that a Program acquired under the Agreement infringes a patent or copyright, Certent will defend Licensee against that claim and pay amounts finally awarded by a court against Licensee or included in a settlement approved by Certent, provided that Licensee promptly (i) notifies Certent in writing of the claim, (ii) supplies information requested by Certent, and (iii) allows Certent to control, and reasonably cooperates in, the defense and settlement, including mitigation efforts.

Certent has no responsibility for claims based, in whole or part, items not provided by Certent, or any violation of law or third party rights caused by Licensee’s content, materials, designs, specifications, or use of a non-current version or release of a Program when an infringement claim could have been avoided by using a current version or release.

9. Confidential Information, Licensee Data, Databases, Content and Contact Information

Parties will not disclose confidential information without a separate, signed confidentiality agreement. If confidential information is exchanged, the confidentiality agreement is incorporated into, and subject to, the Agreement.

To assist Licensee in isolating the cause of a problem with the Program, Certent may request that Licensee 1) allow Certent to remotely access Licensee’s system or 2) send Licensee information or system data to Certent. However, Certent is not obligated to provide such assistance unless Certent and Licensee enter a separate written agreement under which Certent agrees to provide to Licensee that type of assistance, which is beyond Certent’s warranty and Support obligations in the Agreement. Certent uses information about errors and problems to improve its products and services, and assist with its provision of related support offerings. For these purposes, Certent may use Certent entities and subcontractors (including in one or more countries other than the one in which Licensee is located), and Licensee authorizes Certent to do so.

Licensee remains responsible for 1) any data and the content of any database Licensee makes available to Certent, 2) the selection and implementation of procedures and controls regarding access, security, encryption, use, and transmission of data (including any personally-identifiable data), and 3) backup and recovery of any database and any stored data. Licensee will not send or provide Certent access to any personally-identifiable information, whether in data or any other form, and will be responsible for reasonable costs and other amounts that Certent may incur relating to any such information mistakenly provided to Certent or the loss or disclosure of such information by Certent, including those arising out of any third party claims.

Licensee is responsible for obtaining all necessary permissions to use, provide, store and process content and grants Certent permission to do the same. Some of Licensee’s content may be subject to governmental regulation or may require security measures beyond those specified by Certent for an offering. Licensee will not input or provide such content unless Certent has first agreed in writing to implement additional required security measures.

Certent and its subcontractors may process the business contact information of Licensee, its employees and contractors worldwide for our business relationship, and Licensee has obtained the necessary consents. Certent will comply with requests to access, update, or delete such contact information. Certent may use personnel and resources in locations worldwide and third party suppliers for the delivery of products and services.

10. Limitation of Liability

The limitations and exclusions in this Section 10 (Limitation of Liability) apply to the full extent they are not prohibited by applicable law without the possibility of contractual waiver.

10.1  Items for Which Certent May Be Liable

Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on Certent’s part or other liability, Licensee is entitled to recover damages from Certent. Regardless of the basis on which Licensee is entitled to claim damages from Certent (including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other contract or tort claim), Certent’s entire liability for all claims in the aggregate arising from or related to each Program, Support or otherwise arising under the Agreement will not exceed the amount of any 1) damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property and tangible personal property and 2) other actual direct damages up to the charges Licensee paid for the Program (if the Program is subject to recurring charges, up to twelve months’ charges) or Support (up to twelve months’ charges) that is the subject of the claim.

This limit also applies to any of Certent’s subsidiaries, Program developers and suppliers. It is the maximum for which Certent and its Program developers and suppliers are collectively responsible.

The following amounts, if a party is legally liable for them, are not subject to the above cap: i) third party payments referred in the indemnity of Section 8.3; and ii) damages that cannot be limited under applicable law.

10.2  Items for Which Certent Is Not Liable

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS CERTENT, ITS PROGRAM DEVELOPERS OR SUPPLIERS LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING, EVEN IF INFORMED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY:

  1. LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE TO, DATA;
  2. SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY ECONOMIC CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; OR
  3. LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS.

11. Compliance Verification

The rights and obligations set forth in this Section 11 remain in effect during the period the Program is licensed to Licensee, and for two years thereafter.

11.1  Verification Process

Licensee agrees to create, retain, and provide to Certent and its auditors accurate written records, system tool outputs, and other system information sufficient to provide auditable verification that Licensee’s use of all Programs and Support is in compliance with the Agreement, including, without limitation, all of Certent’s applicable licensing and pricing qualification terms. Licensee is responsible for 1) ensuring that it does not exceed its Authorized Use, and 2) remaining in compliance with the Agreement.

Upon reasonable notice, Certent may verify Licensee’s compliance with the Agreement at all sites and for all environments in which Licensee uses (for any purpose) Programs subject to the Agreement. Such verification will be conducted in a manner that minimizes disruption to Licensee’s business, and may be conducted on Licensee’s premises, during normal business hours. Certent may use an independent auditor to assist with such verification, provided Certent has a written confidentiality agreement in place with such auditor.

11.2  Resolution

Certent will notify Licensee in writing if any such verification indicates that Licensee has used any Program or Support in excess of its Authorized Use or is otherwise not in compliance with the Agreement. Licensee agrees to promptly pay directly to Certent the charges that Certent specifies in an invoice for 1) any such excess use, 2) Support for such excess use for the lesser of the duration of such excess use or two years, and 3) any additional charges and other liabilities determined as a result of such verification. If Licensee’s records are inadequate to determine charges, Certent’s charges for any excess usage will include two years of Support.

12. Third Party Notices

The Program may include third party code that Certent, not the third party, licenses to Licensee under the Agreement. Notices, if any, for the third party code (?Third Party Notices?) are included for Licensee’s information only. These notices can be found in the Program’s NOTICES file(s). Information on how to obtain source code for certain third party code can be found in the Third Party Notices. If in the Third Party Notices Certent identifies third party code as ?Modifiable Third Party Code,? Certent authorizes Licensee to 1) modify the Modifiable Third Party Code and 2) reverse engineer the Program modules that directly interface with the Modifiable Third Party Code provided that it is only for the purpose of debugging Licensee’s modifications to such third party code. Certent’s obligations, if any, apply only to the unmodified Program.

13. General

  1. Nothing in the Agreement affects any statutory rights of consumers that cannot be waived or limited by contract.
  2. For Programs Certent provides to Licensee in tangible form, Certent fulfills its shipping and delivery obligations upon the delivery of such Programs to the Certent-designated carrier, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Licensee and Certent.
  3. If any provision of the Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect.
  4. Licensee agrees to comply with all applicable export and import laws and regulations, including U.S. embargo and sanctions regulations and prohibitions on export for certain end uses or to certain users.
  5. Licensee authorizes Certent (and its successors and assigns, contractors and Certent Business Partners) to store and use Licensee’s business contact information wherever they do business, in connection with Certent products and services, or in furtherance of Certent’s business relationship with Licensee.
  6. Each party will allow the other reasonable opportunity to comply before it claims that the other has not met its obligations under the Agreement. The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve all disputes, disagreements, or claims between the parties relating to the Agreement.
  7. Unless otherwise required by applicable law without the possibility of contractual waiver or limitation: 1) neither party will bring a legal action, regardless of form, for any claim arising out of or related to the Agreement more than two years after the cause of action arose; and 2) upon the expiration of such time limit, any such claim and all respective rights related to the claim lapse.
  8. Neither party is responsible for failure to fulfill its non-monetary obligations due to causes beyond its control.

The following replaces the first paragraph of the Subsection:

For the purposes of this section, a “Default” means any act, statement, omission or negligence on the part of Certent in connection with, or in relation to, the subject matter of an Agreement in respect of which Certent is legally liable to Licensee, whether in contract or in tort. A number of Defaults which together result in, or contribute to, substantially the same loss or damage will be treated as one Default.

Circumstances may arise where, because of a Default by Certent in the performance of its obligations under the Agreement or other liability, Licensee is entitled to recover damages from Certent. Regardless of the basis on which Licensee is entitled to claim damages from Certent and except as expressly required by law without the possibility of contractual waiver, Certent’s entire liability for any one Default will not exceed the amount of any direct damages, to the extent actually suffered by Licensee as an immediate and direct consequence of the default, up to the greater of (1) 500,000 euro (or the equivalent in local currency) or (2) 125% of the charges (if the Program is subject to fixed term charges, up to 12 months’ charges) for the Program that is the subject of the claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of any damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property and tangible personal property for which Certent is legally liable is not subject to such limitation.

10.2 Items for Which Certent is Not Liable

The following replaces Items 10.2b and 10.2c:

  1. special, incidental, exemplary, or indirect damages or consequential damages; or
  2. wasted management time or lost profits, business, revenue, goodwill, or anticipated savings.
