This Agreement does not grant Customer any ownership interest in or to the Licensed Material, but only a limited right and license to use the Licensed Materials during the License Term in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each applicable Purchase Order. Customer further acknowledges and agrees that the licenses granted hereunder and the restrictions applicable to Customer’s installation and use of the Licensed Software will vary according to the type of Licensed Software purchased by Customer and the type of license purchased by Customer. One or more of the restrictions set forth in this Section 2 may apply to the Licensed Software depending upon the type of Licensed Software purchased by Customer, the type of license purchased and the terms contained in the applicable Purchase Order relating to the Licensed Software. Customer is encouraged to carefully review all terms and restrictions contained in this Section 2 and each Purchase Order. Customer hereby agrees to the following license restrictions and conditions applicable to the Licensed Software as set forth in the Purchase Orders delivered by Customer under this Agreement:
      • For all Licensed Software made generally available by AquaFold on a “per-server” basis and licensed hereunder by Customer on a “per-server” basis (a “Server-Based License”), Customer may install, operate and use such Licensed Software during the License Term on one (1) physical or one (1) virtual server per license purchased by Customer;
      • For all Licensed Software made generally available by AquaFold on a “per-user” or “per-seat” basis and licensed hereunder by Customer on a “per-user” or “per-seat” basis, Customer may install and operate such Licensed Software during the License Term on up to two (2) physical servers or virtual servers but Customer shall not simultaneously access and use such Licensed Software by more than one (1) user per license purchased by Customer;
      • For all Licensed Software made generally available by AquaFold on a “per-Thread” basis and licensed hereunder by Customer on a “per-Thread” basis (a “Thread-Based License”), Customer may use the Licensed Software during the License Term to simultaneously execute such number of Threads up to, but not exceeding, the number of Threads for which Customer has purchased a license; and
      • For all Licensed Software made generally available by AquaFold on a “named user” basis and licensed hereunder by Customer on a “named user” basis (a “Named User License”), Customer may install and operate such Licensed Software during the License Term on up to two (2) computers and designate in writing one (1) person in Customer’s organization (the “Named User”) who shall have the right to use the Licensed Software, provided that only the Named User uses the Licensed Software and such use is not conducted on more than one such computer simultaneously.

      In no event shall Customer install, operate, use or access the Licensed Software in contravention of the foregoing restrictions applicable to the Licensed Software or any other restrictions contained in this Agreement.

    • Additional Terms Governing Server Licenses – Customer may re-assign a Server-Based License to a different server; provided, that (i) such Server-Based License may not be installed or operated on more than one server simultaneously and (ii) except for a re-assignment in connection with a hardware failure, a Server-Based License may not be re-assigned on a different server within the first ninety (90) days following its most recent installation.
    • Additional Terms Governing Thread Licenses – A Thread may be executed or terminated using the Licensed Software: (a) by Customer’s command via a web interface to the Licensed Software accessed by Customer via the HTTP connection; (b) automatically in accordance with a schedule defined by Customer using job scheduling functionality of the Licensed Software; or (c) by software or a programing interface created by Customer that utilizes the certain open application programming interface (“APIs”) made available by AquaFold in the Licensed Software. A Thread is terminated when it ends according to the logic pre-programmed in the routine created by Customer and the duration of the execution of a Thread depends on the particular task of the corresponding routine created by Customer and the available hardware and third party software resources required to execute such routine. Thread-Based Licenses are limited to simultaneously executing the number of Threads equal to the Threads purchased in connection with such license; provided the physical and logical resources of the server upon which the Licensed Software is installed are sufficient for such parallel simultaneous execution. In the event that the physical or logical resources of the server are depleted by parallel simultaneous execution of threads or the number of Threads to be simultaneously executed exceeds the number of Threads permitted under such license, the Licensed Software may automatically prevent the execution of such excess Threads and such excess Threads may be queued and executed sequentially as the required physical or logical resources become available.
    • License Keys – Customer acknowledges that a security code owned and controlled by AquaFold or its subsidiaries (the “License Key”) is required to render each license for the Licensed Software operational on Customer’s computer hardware for the duration of the License Term. Upon use of a permanent License Key to install the Licensed Software on Customer’s computer hardware, no other security code will be required for the Licensed Material to operate on such computer hardware during the License Term in accordance with the terms and restrictions contained in this Agreement. Except with respect to Unrestricted License Keys, Customer may only install one license for the Licensed Software per individual License Key issued in respect of such Licensed Software. Customer shall not attempt to crack, alter or otherwise derive any License Key. AquaFold shall promptly provide Customer with all necessary License Keys upon Customer’s subscription to the Licensed Software or upon any authorized transfer or re-assignment of the Licensed Software to any other hardware equipment permitted under this Agreement. Customer is solely responsible for safeguarding all License Keys and hereby agrees to do so in a timely, accurate and secure manner. Customer hereby acknowledges that AquaFold is under no obligation to issue any Unrestricted License Key and that AquaFold’s issuance of any Unrestricted license Key is subject to Customer’s full compliance with the additional terms contained in Section 13(b) hereof, the terms of which Customer hereby agrees to fully comply with upon receipt of any Unrestricted License Key.
    • Copies & Disaster Recovery – Customer may make a reasonable number of back-up archival copies of the Licensed Software. In the event of any outage that results in the complete failure of the computer system upon which Customer has installed the Licensed Software, Customer’s right to use the Licensed Software shall include, during the pendency of such outage, the temporary right to use the Licensed Software in a replacement computing environment substantially similar to the original computing environment upon which the Licensed Software was installed immediately prior to such outage. Except as expressly provided in this Section 2(f), Customer shall not use any back-up archival copy of the Licensed Software or Evaluation Software for any commercial purpose or in a production environment. Customer shall reproduce all confidentiality and proprietary notices on each of the copies permitted hereunder and maintain an accurate record of the location of each of the copies. Customer shall not otherwise copy or duplicate the Licensed Material. Customer shall not reverse engineer, disassemble, translate, modify, adapt, or decompile the Licensed Material or apply any procedure or process to the Licensed Material in order to ascertain, derive, and/or appropriate the source code or source listings for the Licensed Software or any trade secret or other proprietary information contained in the Licensed Software.
    • Renewal of License Term – Upon expiration of each License Term, all limited subscription licenses granted under this Agreement shall automatically renew for an additional 12-month License Term and AquaFold will invoice Customer at the then-current subscription-based price for such additional License Term, unless AquaFold is notified by Customer in writing at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of such current License Term that Customer elects not to renew such limited subscription license for an additional License Term.
    • Other Services – All licenses and Maintenance Services subscribed to by Customer in respect of the Licensed Material shall be governed by this Agreement, together with the applicable Purchase Orders delivered hereunder. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, all other services purchased by Customer in respect of the Licensed Software, if any, including implementation services, training services and professional services (collectively, “Ancillary Services”), shall be governed solely by a separate written mutually acceptable services agreement entered into by the parties or, in the absence of such agreement, AquaFold’s standard professional services agreement, and acceptance of the Licensed Material shall not be contingent upon Customer’s acceptance of any such Ancillary Services.
  • DELIVERY AND PAYMENT TERMS
    • Delivery – All Licensed Material shall be delivered by AquaFold to Customer via electronic delivery using a secure internet download site. Customer’s subscription to all Licensed Software subscribed to hereunder, the License Term in respect of such Licensed Software and risk of loss for such Licensed Materials shall be deemed to have commenced once AquaFold has made the Licensed Material available for download by Customer, notified Customer of the availability of the Licensed Material for download and provided Customer with License Keys necessary for the installation and operation of the Licensed Software.
    • Payment – Upon delivery of a Purchase Order by Customer, AquaFold shall deliver an invoice to Customer specifying the subscription license fees payable pursuant to such Purchase Order for the License Term. Customer shall pay all subscription license fees specified therein within thirty (30) days of Customer’s receipt of such invoice. All fees payable by Customer in respect of such Ancillary Services may be separately invoiced. Customer’s payment obligation with respect to all subscription license fees owing hereunder shall be independent of the provision of Ancillary Services, whether or not such Ancillary Services are separately invoiced. Any late payment of any amount owing hereunder shall accrue interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) 15% per annum and (ii) the maximum rate permitted by law.
    • Taxes – All payments referred to in this Agreement are exclusive of value added tax, sales tax and any other applicable taxes, duties or imposts which (with the exception only of those based on AquaFold’s income) shall also be payable by Customer in accordance with applicable law.

Upon Customer’s payment of the subscription license fees associated with the License Term purchased by Customer for the Licensed Software specified in a Purchase Order, AquaFold shall provide Maintenance Services in accordance with this Section 4 and in accordance with any additional Maintenance Services terms specified in such Purchase Order. AquaFold or its authorized representative will provide Maintenance Services for the Licensed Software during each License Term. Maintenance Services includes problem determinations, reasonable problem resolutions, provisioning of software program temporary fixes and new releases. Maintenance Services shall also include the additional Maintenance Service terms expressly set forth in writing in the Purchase Order delivered by Customer, which are hereby incorporated herein by reference. Maintenance Services shall entitle Customer to receive, at no additional cost, all Updates.
  • PROPRIETARY RIGHTS – Customer shall not acquire, by virtue of this Agreement, any right or license other than as expressly provided herein. Customer shall not reproduce the Licensed Material or other confidential or proprietary information of AquaFold, except as provided in this Agreement.

AquaFold does not warrant that (i) the Licensed Software will satisfy or may be customized to satisfy any of Customer’s requirements or any other particular use or (ii) the use of the Licensed Software will be uninterrupted or error-free.

AquaFold’s obligations under this Section 6(b) shall be waived in the event such Error or breach is due to (I) any defect in or misconfiguration of the computer hardware upon which the Licensed Software is installed, (II) improper handling or use of the software media by Customer, or (III) an unauthorized alteration, revision or configuration of the Licensed Software or to Customer’s computer system by Customer or its employees. Customer acknowledges that this Section 6(b) sets forth Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, and AquaFold’s and its authorized representatives’ sole and exclusive liability, for any breach of warranty, Error or failure of the Licensed Software to function properly.

  • TERMINATION – Upon 30-days prior written notice to AquaFold, Customer may terminate this Agreement and all subscriptions purchased hereunder; provided, however, that Customer shall not be entitled to any refund or credit (except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement) of any amounts paid by Customer or a release from or cancellation, waiver or novation of any amounts payable or promised to be paid by Customer hereunder and all such amounts payable or promised to be paid by Customer in respect of the remaining portion of the current License Term shall automatically accelerate, become immediately due and payable and shall survive termination of this Agreement.

  • EQUITABLE RELIEF – The parties recognize that Sections 5, 9, 11 and 13 are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the parties and are considered by the parties to be reasonable for such purpose. The parties agree that any breach of such Sections would cause the other party substantial and irreparable damage and therefore, in the event of any such breach, in addition to other remedies which may be available, the non-breaching party shall have the right to seek specific performance and other injunctive and equitable relief in a court of law.
