3. SERVICE PROVIDERS.

These terms are incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement.

8. SOFTWARE VERIFICATION AND AUDIT. At V-App’s request, Customer will furnish V-App with a certification signed by Customer’s authorized representative verifying that the Software is being used in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable Order. If the Order includes an offering that requires usage reporting, Customer agrees to provide this reporting pursuant to the requirements identified by V-App. Upon at least 10 business days’ prior written notice to Customer, and not more than once in a 12-month period, unless a material violation occurred in this period, V-App may audit Customer’s (and its Service Providers’) use of the Software to ensure compliance with this Agreement and the applicable Order. Any audit will be conducted during regular business hours at Customer’s (and/or its Service Providers’) facilities, will not unreasonably interfere with Customer’s (or its Service Providers’) business and will comply with Customer’s (or its Service Providers’) reasonable security procedures. Customer will (and will ensure that its Service Providers) provide V-App with reasonable access to all relevant records and facilities reasonably necessary to conduct the audit. If an audit reveals that Customer (and/or any Service Provider) has exceeded the Licensed Capacity or the scope of Customer’s license grant during the period audited, then V-App will invoice Customer, and Customer will promptly pay V-App, any underpaid Fees based on V-App’s price list in effect at the time the audit is completed. If the excess usage exceeds 10% of the Licensed Capacity, Customer will also pay V-App’s reasonable costs of conducting the audit. This section 8 will survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for a period of 1 year.

9. WARRANTY. V-App warrants that for a period of 30 days from the Delivery of Purchased Software, the Purchased Software will substantially perform the material functions described in V-App’s user documentation, when used in accordance with the user documentation. The sole liability of V-App (and its Affiliates and suppliers/licensors), and Customer’s exclusive remedy, for any failure of the Purchased Software to conform to this warranty, is for V-App to do one of the following, at V-App’s sole option and discretion: (a) modify, or provide an Enhancement for, the Purchased Software so that it conforms to the foregoing warranty, (b) replace Customer’s copy of the Purchased Software with a copy that conforms to the foregoing warranty, or (c) terminate the license with respect to the non-conforming Purchased Software and refund the License Fees paid by Customer for the non-conforming Purchased Software. All warranty claims must be made in writing by Customer to V-App on or before the expiration of the warranty period. V-App further warrants that (y) it has the full authority to enter into this Agreement, and (z) at the time of Delivery, there is no Virus in the Purchased Software. If it is determined by V-App that the Purchased Software contains a Virus, V-App will assist Customer in repairing or replacing the nonconforming Purchased Software as V-App’s (and its Affiliates and suppliers/licensors) sole liability and Customer’s exclusive remedy for any failure of the Purchased Software to conform to this warranty. For the sake of clarity, features and functionality in the Purchased Software that ensure compliance with section 2 of this Agreement shall not be considered a Virus.

10. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER. Except as expressly stated in section 9, the V-App Materials, Open Source Software, Third Party Content, Support Services, and professional Services are provided “AS IS” with no warranties, express or implied. To the full extent permitted by law, V-App and its suppliers and licensors disclaim all warranties other than as expressly stated in section 9, including any implied warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, noninfringement, or warranties arising out of course of dealing or trade usage. V-App does not warrant that use of the Software or V-App Materials will be uninterrupted, error free, secure, or that all defects will be corrected.

11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Except for breach of section 2, a party’s indemnification obligations, or either party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, a party and a party’s Entities will not be liable for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages related to this Agreement, including any damages (a) arising from loss of use, loss of data, lost profits, lost revenue, business interruption, or cost of procuring substitute software or services; and (b) based on any theory of liability, including contract, indemnification, warranty, tort (including negligence), or strict liability. A party’s and a party’s Entities’ total cumulative liability related to this Agreement will not exceed the amounts paid by Customer to V-App for the Purchased Software in the 12 months prior to the event giving rise to this liability, even if the party or the party’s Entities have been advised of the possibility of loss or damage. Customer, not V-App, is solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, and security of Customer’s data and for maintaining a backup of all data and for ensuring the security and integrity of Customer’s (and its Service Provider’s) data, computers, networks, and systems (including protecting them against viruses and malware).

12. INDEMNITY. V-App will defend and indemnify Customer against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding brought against Customer by a third party alleging that Purchased Software infringes or misappropriates this third party’s Intellectual Property Rights (“Claim”). V-App will pay all damages finally awarded against Customer by a court of competent jurisdiction as a result of the Claim, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, V-App has no obligation to indemnify Customer with respect to: (a) use of the Purchased Software in a manner that is not permitted under this Agreement or that is inconsistent with V-App’s applicable user documentation; (b) modifications to the V-App Materials made by anyone other than V-App; (c) the combination of Software with hardware or software not made by V-App, or with third-party services, processes or materials where the infringement or misappropriation would not occur but for this combination; (d) Customer’s continued use of the Purchased Software or other allegedly infringing activity after receiving notice of the alleged infringement; or (e) any version of the Purchased Software that is no longer supported by V-App ((a) through (e), collectively, “Excluded Matters”). If a Claim is made or appears likely to be made, V-App may, at its option and expense, modify the affected Purchased Software so that it is non-infringing, or replace it with substantially functionally equivalent software. If V-App determines that neither is reasonably feasible, V-App may terminate Customer’s applicable license and refund Customer a pro rata refund of the Fees previously paid by Customer. The obligations in this section constitute Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, and V-App’s entire liability, with respect to any Claims. Customer will defend and indemnify V-App against any claim brought against V-App by a third party arising out of or relating to any Excluded Matter or any Customer Extension, and Customer will pay all damages finally awarded against V-App by a court of competent jurisdiction as a result of this claim. Each party’s defense and indemnity obligations in this section 12 are conditioned upon the party seeking indemnification (x) providing prompt written notice to the other party of the applicable claim; (y) providing reasonable cooperation and assistance in the defense and negotiations; and (z) giving the indemnifying party sole control of the defense and settlement of the applicable claim, except that: (i) the indemnified party may participate in the defense with counsel of its choice at its own expense, and (ii) the indemnifying party will not agree to any settlement that imposes a material obligation on the indemnified party without the indemnified party’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

13. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

13.1 Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means any technical or business information, ideas, materials, know-how or other subject matter that is disclosed by one party (the “Discloser”) to the other party (the “Recipient”) that: (a) if disclosed in writing, is marked “confidential” or “proprietary” at the time of disclosure; (b) if disclosed orally, is identified as “confidential” or “proprietary” at the time of disclosure, and is summarized in a writing sent by the Discloser to the Recipient within 30 days after this disclosure; or (c) under the circumstances, a person exercising reasonable business judgment would understand to be confidential or proprietary.

13.2 Use and Disclosure Restrictions. The Recipient agrees: (a) to maintain Confidential Information in strict confidence; (b) not to disclose Confidential Information to any third parties; and (c) to use Confidential Information only to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement. Recipient will treat Confidential Information with the same degree of care as it accords to its own confidential information, but in no event with less than reasonable care. Recipient may disclose the Confidential Information to its directors, officers, employees, and subcontractors (collectively, “Representatives”), who have a bona fide need to know this Confidential Information and who are bound by terms at least as protective as the terms in this section 13. Recipient’s obligations under this section 13 will continue in effect for a period of three years from the date of last disclosure.

13.3 Exclusions. The obligations of Recipient under section 13.2 will not apply to any Confidential Information that: (a) is or becomes generally known or available to the public, through no act or omission on the part of Recipient (or any of its Representatives, Affiliates, or agents) or any third party subject to any use or disclosure restrictions with respect to this Confidential Information; (b) was known by or lawfully in the possession of Recipient, prior to its receipt, without restriction as to use or disclosure; (c) is rightfully acquired by Recipient from a third party who has the right to disclose it and who provides it without restriction as to use or disclosure; or (d) is independently developed by Recipient without access, use, or reference to any Confidential Information.

13.4 Required Disclosures. The provisions of section 13.2 will not restrict Recipient from disclosing Confidential Information to the extent required by any law enforcement agencies or regulators or compelled by a court or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction. To the extent permissible under law, Recipient will use reasonable efforts to give Discloser sufficient advance notice of any required disclosure to enable Discloser to prevent or limit disclosure.

13.5 Return or Destruction of Confidential Information. Upon termination of this Agreement or of support and maintenance, Recipient will, at Discloser’s option, promptly return or destroy all tangible items and embodiments containing or consisting of Confidential Information and provide written certification of this destruction or return by an authorized person.

13.6 Injunctive Relief. Recipient agrees that, due to the unique nature of the Confidential Information, the unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information will cause irreparable harm and significant injury to Discloser, the extent of which will be difficult to ascertain and for which there will be no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, Recipient agrees that Discloser, in addition to any other available remedies, will have the right to an immediate injunction and other equitable relief enjoining any breach or threatened breach of this section 13, without the necessity of posting any bond or other security. Recipient will notify Discloser in writing immediately upon Recipient’s becoming aware of any breach or threatened breach.

14. TERM. This Agreement will commence upon V-App’s first Delivery of the Software and will remain in effect until the expiration of the applicable Software license term, unless earlier terminated pursuant to section 15 (the “Term”). For the avoidance of doubt, termination of a license term shall not affect the term of any other licenses applicable to other V-App products and services that Customer has purchased. Further, termination of a Content Subscription shall not affect the term of the base license applicable to the Software that Customer has purchased.

14.1 Purchased Software, etc. Unless otherwise indicated in the Order, the Term for Purchased Software, Free Software, V-App Subscriptions and V-App Tools will continue indefinitely, unless and until terminated pursuant to section 15.

If Customer wishes to use the Evaluation Software after the Term expires, Customer must purchase a license for the Software.

15. TERMINATION.

15.1 Termination Rights. Either party may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party in the event of a material breach of this Agreement that is not cured within 30 days of receipt of the notice. In addition, V-App may immediately terminate this Agreement (in whole or in part) by written notice to Customer (a) if Customer materially breaches section 2, or (b) as set forth in section 5. V-App may also terminate Customer’s license to any Evaluation Software at any time with or without cause by notice to Customer.

Customer certifies that Customer is not on any of the relevant U.S. government lists of prohibited persons, including the Treasury Department’s List of Specially Designated Nationals and the Commerce Department’s List of Denied Persons or Entity List. Customer further certifies that Customer will not export, re-export, ship, transfer or otherwise use the V-App Materials in any country subject to an embargo or other sanction by the United States, and that Customer will not use the V-App Materials for any purpose prohibited by the Export Laws, including, but not limited to, nuclear, chemical, missile or biological weapons related end uses.

17. GOVERNMENT END USER RIGHTS. Customer acknowledges that all V-App Materials were developed entirely at private expense and that no part of the V-App Materials was first produced in the performance of a government contract. Customer agrees that all V-App Materials and their derivatives are “Commercial Items”, and if Customer is the Government, then the use, duplication, reproduction, release, modification, disclosure or transfer of this commercial product and data, is restricted.

18. PUBLICITY. Customer agrees that V-App may publish a brief description of Customer’s deployment of the Software and identify Customer as a V-App customer on any of V-App’s websites, client lists, press releases, and other marketing materials.

19. THIRD PARTY CONTENT DISCLAIMER. Certain Extensions and other materials or services made available for download or access on V-App website are developed and/or provided by third parties (“Third-Party Content”). V-App makes Third-Party Content available for download on V-App website as a convenience to its customers. V-App neither controls nor endorses, nor is V-App responsible for, any Third-Party Content, including the accuracy, integrity, quality, legality, usefulness or safety of Third-Party Content. Certain Third-Party Content may, among other things, be inaccurate, nonfunctional, infringing or dangerous. Nothing in this Agreement or on V-Appbase will be deemed to be a representation or warranty by V-App with respect to any Third-Party Content, even if a particular Extension or other item of Third-Party Content is identified as “certified” or “validated” for use with Software. V-App has no obligation to monitor Third-Party Content, and V-App may block or disable access to any Third-Party Content at any time. Customer’s use of Third-Party Content is at Customer’s own risk and may be subject to any additional terms, conditions and policies applicable to the Third-Party Content (such as license terms, terms of service, or privacy policies of the providers of the Third-Party Content).

20. AUTHORIZED PARTNERS. If Customer acquired the Software through an authorized reseller, partner or OEM of V-App (“Authorized Partner”) then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement: (a) Customer’s use of the Software is subject to any additional terms in the agreement provided by the Authorized Partner (“Partner Agreement”); (b) Customer agrees to pay the Authorized Partner the Fees and other applicable fees, and Customer will have no direct Fee payment obligations to V-App for this Software; (c) the Partner Agreement is between Customer and the Authorized Partner and is not binding on V-App; and (d) V-App may terminate this Agreement (including Customer’s right to use the Software) if V-App does not receive payment for Customer’s use of the Software from the Authorized Partner or if Customer breaches any term of this Agreement. If the warranty and support terms in the Partner Agreement are different from those in this Agreement, then those different terms are solely between Customer and the Authorized Partner and V-App has no obligations to Customer with respect to the different terms. Except as stated in the preceding sentence, if there is any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and the Partner Agreement, this Agreement will control as between V-App and Customer.

21. CHOICE OF LAW AND DISPUTES. Unless Customer is the Government, this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Italy, as if performed wholly within the state and without giving effect to the conflicts of law principles of any jurisdiction or the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded. Any legal action or proceeding arising under this Agreement will be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Catania, Italy, and the parties consent to personal jurisdiction and this venue (except that V-App may seek injunctive relief to prevent improper or unauthorized use or disclosure of any V-App Materials in any court of competent jurisdiction).

22. GENERAL.

2.6.1 V-App Support. Customer’s Order will identify the level of Support Customer purchased for the applicable Purchased Software.

V-App will provide Customer 30 days’ prior written notice of any material changes to the Support.
