196 | | |
---|
197 | | 8. Notwithstanding clause 5.7 in the event that the Licensee is or |
---|
198 | | becomes liable to pay or otherwise account for any Taxes, the payment |
---|
199 | | of any amounts due under this Agreement will be adjusted to ensure |

250 | | Licensee's version of the Software within 90 days of such new |
---|
251 | | release of the Software being available for download from the |

---|
253 | | |
---|
254 | | 1. The Licensor will respond to any Support Request by email within 48 |

---|
257 | | |
---|
258 | | 2. In addition to making use of the Support and Maintenance Services |
---|
259 | | provided for in clauses 7.1 and 7.2 the Licensee is also entitled to |
---|
260 | | make use of the Forums on such the terms and conditions as are |
---|
261 | | specified on the Website from time to time in respect of use of the |
---|
262 | | Forums. |
---|
263 | | |
---|
264 | | 3. Notwithstanding clauses 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3, the Licensee acknowledges |
---|
265 | | that in the event they are not required to pay a Licence Fee as |
---|
266 | | provided for by clause 5.1, the Licensee will not be entitled to make |
---|
267 | | use of the Support and Maintenance Services as described in clauses |
---|
268 | | 7.1 and 7.2 but will be entitled to make use of the Forums as |
---|

---|
270 | | |
---|
271 | | 8. New Releases |
---|
272 | | |
---|
273 | | 1. During the Term the Licensor shall notify the Licensee by email, |
---|
274 | | where the Licensee has registered on the Website to receive such |

276 | | for download from the Website. |
---|

---|
279 | | download any new releases of the Software as part of the Support and |
---|
280 | | Maintenance Services, for the avoidance of doubt the Licensee will |
---|
281 | | not be entitled to download and use any later version of the Software |
---|
282 | | without paying a further applicable Licence Fee as defined in clauses |
---|
283 | | 5.2 and 5.4 in respect of that new version of the Software. |
---|
284 | | |
---|
285 | | 3. In the event of any confusion as to whether a new release of the |
---|
286 | | Software is actually a new version of the Software the Licensor's |
---|
287 | | decision shall be final. |
---|
288 | | |
---|
289 | | 1. The Licensor may from time to time, acting entirely at its own |
---|
290 | | discretion, make such modifications to the current release of the |
---|
291 | | Software as shall ensure that the current release conforms to any |
---|
292 | | legal requirements or change of legislation. In the event that the |
---|
293 | | Licensor acting reasonably does not believe that it is technically |
---|
294 | | possible or commercially justifiable for it to make such |
---|
295 | | modifications then the Licensor shall be entitled to terminate this |
---|
296 | | Agreement on 30 days written notice to the Licensee. Where the |
---|
297 | | Licensor does make modifications to the current release of the |
---|
298 | | Software ("Modified Software") in accordance with the terms of this |
---|
299 | | Agreement, the Licensor shall make such Modified Software available |
---|
300 | | for download from the Website. The Licensee shall be required to as |
---|
301 | | soon as reasonably possible adopt such Modified Software. Failure by |
---|
302 | | the Licensee to adopt such Modified Software within 90 days of any |
---|
303 | | such new release of the Software being made available for download |
---|
304 | | from the Website, shall entitle the Licensor to terminate this |
---|
305 | | Agreement immediately on written notice to the Licensee. |
---|
306 | | |
---|
307 | | 2. Any new release of the Software or Modified Software adopted by the |
---|
308 | | Licensee shall become the current release and the provisions of this |
---|
309 | | Agreement shall apply accordingly. |
---|
310 | | |
---|

---|
317 | | |
---|
318 | | 1. If the Software within the Licensee's control pursuant to the |
---|
319 | | Licence is modified or altered by the Licensee, the Licensee will |
---|
320 | | fully indemnify the Licensor against all liability which may be |
---|
321 | | incurred by the Licensor if such modifications or alterations |
---|
322 | | infringe any Intellectual Property Rights of a third person or |
---|
323 | | otherwise cause the Licensor to suffer loss, damages or expense. |
---|
324 | | |
---|
325 | | 2. The Software within the Licensee's control pursuant to the |
---|
326 | | Licence remains the property of the Licensor in all respects. |

---|
329 | | |
---|
330 | | 1. The Licensee shall during the continuance of the Licence effect |
---|
331 | | and maintain security measures in accordance with accepted |
---|
332 | | industry standards to safeguard the Software from access or use |
---|
333 | | by any unauthorised person. |
---|
334 | | |
---|
335 | | 12. Proprietary Rights |
---|
336 | | |
---|
337 | | 1. The Product Materials and the Intellectual Property Rights of |
---|
338 | | whatever nature in the Product Materials (excluding any third |
---|
339 | | party rights in respect of Third Party Software) are and shall |
---|
340 | | remain the property of the Licensor. |
---|
341 | | |
---|
342 | | 2. The Licensee shall notify the Licensor immediately if the |
---|
343 | | Licensee becomes aware of any unauthorised use of the whole or |
---|
344 | | any part of the Product Materials by any person. |
---|
345 | | |
---|
346 | | 3. The Third Party Software at all times remains the property of the |
---|
347 | | applicable third party and the Licensee's use of such Third Party |
---|
348 | | Software is at all times governed by the provisions of any |
---|
349 | | applicable licence relating to any such Third Party Software. |
---|
350 | | |
---|
351 | | 13. Intellectual Property Rights |
---|
352 | | |
---|
353 | | 1. The Licensee acknowledges that the Licence granted pursuant to |
---|
354 | | clause 2 does not grant any transfer of title or ownership to the |
---|
355 | | Licensee of any Licensor's Intellectual Property Rights including |
---|
356 | | without limitation in the Product Materials. The Licensee's right |
---|
357 | | to use the Licensor's Intellectual Property Rights as provided |
---|
358 | | for in this Agreement will cease upon the termination of this |
---|
359 | | Agreement or as otherwise provided for in this clause 13. |
---|
360 | | |
---|
361 | | 2. The Licensee acknowledges that the grant of the Licence or any |
---|
362 | | other terms of this Agreement do not in any way confer any right |
---|
363 | | or licence upon the Licensee to use, exploit or otherwise utilise |
---|
364 | | any rights relating to the Licensor's Intellectual Property |
---|
365 | | Rights other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. |
---|
366 | | |
---|
367 | | 3. The Licensee agrees not to represent in any way that it has any |
---|
368 | | title, right or interest in the ownership of the Licensor's |
---|
369 | | Intellectual Property Rights nor do anything which might be |
---|
370 | | contrary to the rights or interest of the Licensor in its |
---|
371 | | Intellectual Property Rights nor seek to apply to register in its |
---|
372 | | own name or that of any third party any part of the Licensor's |
---|
373 | | Intellectual Property Rights and will assist the Licensor in any |
---|
374 | | application to register any such Intellectual Property Rights |
---|
375 | | belonging to the Licensor at the cost of the Licensor. |
---|
376 | | |
---|
377 | | 4. The Licensee agrees with the Licensor that it will notify the |
---|
378 | | Licensor in writing as soon as practicable of any infringement, |
---|
379 | | suspected infringement or alleged infringement relating to the |
---|
380 | | Licensor's Intellectual Property Rights which comes to its |
---|
381 | | knowledge provided that the Licensee will be deemed to have |
---|
382 | | knowledge of any infringement, suspected infringement or alleged |
---|
383 | | infringement if such infringement would have come to the |
---|
384 | | Licensee's knowledge but for any negligence or wilful misconduct |
---|
385 | | on the part of the Licensee. |
---|
386 | | |
---|
387 | | 5. In the event that proceedings are brought or threatened by a |
---|
388 | | third party against the Licensee or the Licensor, alleging that |
---|
389 | | the Licensee's use of the Product Materials constitutes an |
---|
390 | | infringement of a third party's Intellectual Property Rights, the |
---|
391 | | Licensor may at its option and at its own expense conduct the |
---|
392 | | defence of such proceedings. As requested by the Licensor the |
---|
393 | | Licensee shall provide all necessary co-operation, information |
---|
394 | | and assistance to the Licensor in the conduct of the defence of |
---|
395 | | such proceedings. |
---|
396 | | |
---|
397 | | 6. In the circumstances provided for in clause 13.5, but also where |
---|
398 | | the Licensor acting entirely at its own discretion believes that |
---|
399 | | there is a reasonable likelihood that infringement may currently |
---|
400 | | exist or is likely to occur, the Licensee agrees with the |
---|
401 | | Licensor that it will permit the Licensor, acting entirely in the |
---|
402 | | Licensor's discretion to; |
---|
403 | | |
---|
404 | | 1. modify, alter or substitute the infringing or potentially |
---|
405 | | infringing part of the Product Materials, at the Licensor's expense |
---|
406 | | in order to avoid the infringement or potential infringement; or |
---|
407 | | |
---|
408 | | 7. procure for the Licensee the authority to continue with the use and |
---|
409 | | possession of the infringing or potentially infringing part of the |
---|
410 | | Product Materials. |
---|
411 | | |
---|
412 | | 7. If the remedies set out in clause 13.6 above are not in the |
---|
413 | | Licensor's opinion reasonably available, then the Licensor shall be |
---|
414 | | entitled to terminate the Licence and this Agreement immediately on |
---|
415 | | written notice to the Licensee at which point the Licensee shall |
---|
416 | | destroy all copies of the Product Materials within its possession and |
---|
417 | | provide a written certificate from one of the Licensee's directors to |
---|
418 | | the Licensor that such copies have been destroyed provided that the |
---|
419 | | Licensor shall be entitled to enter upon the Licensee's premises to |
---|
420 | | repossess any copies of the Product Materials in the possession, |
---|
421 | | custody or control of the Licensee not returned or destroyed as |
---|
422 | | provided for above. |
---|
423 | | |
---|
424 | | 8. The Licensee acknowledges that the Licensor will have no obligation |
---|
425 | | to indemnify the Licensee against any damages, costs and losses |
---|
426 | | incurred by the Licensee whether direct or consequential (including |
---|
427 | | but without limitation any economic loss or other loss of turnover, |
---|
428 | | profits, business or goodwill) in connection with any proceedings |
---|
429 | | bought by a third party against the Licensee alleging that the |
---|
430 | | Licensee's use of the Product Materials constitutes an infringement |
---|
431 | | of that third party's Intellectual Property Rights. |
---|
432 | | |
---|
433 | | 9. The Licensee shall indemnify the Licensor against any loss, costs, |
---|
434 | | expenses, demands or liability, whether direct or indirect, arising |
---|
435 | | out of a claim by a third party pursuant to clause 13.5 where: |
---|
436 | | |
---|
437 | | 1. the claim arises from: |
---|
438 | | |
---|
439 | | b. use of the Product Materials in combination with any equipment or |
---|
440 | | programs where such use is not authorised by the terms of this |
---|
441 | | Agreement or otherwise approved by the Licensor; |
---|
442 | | |
---|
443 | | c. use of the Product Materials in a manner or for a purpose not |
---|
444 | | specifically provided for by this Agreement or authorised by the |
---|
445 | | Licensor; |
---|
446 | | |
---|
447 | | d. modification or alteration of the Product Materials by the |
---|
448 | | Licensee or any third party on behalf of the Licensee; and |
---|
449 | | |
---|
450 | | e. any transaction entered into by the Licensee relating to the |
---|
451 | | Product Materials without the Licensor's prior consent in writing |
---|
452 | | which is not otherwise authorised by the terms of this Agreement; |
---|
453 | | or |
---|
454 | | |
---|
455 | | 8. the ability of the Licensor to defend the claim has been prejudiced |
---|
456 | | by the failure of the Licensee to comply with any requirements of |

| 302 | the Licensee to adopt such Modified Software within 90 days of any |
---|
| 303 | such new release of the Software being made available for download |
---|
| 304 | from the Website, shall entitle the Licensor to terminate this |
---|
| 305 | Agreement immediately on written notice to the Licensee. |
---|
| 306 | |
---|
| 307 | 8.5 Any new release of the Software or Modified Software adopted by the |
---|
| 308 | Licensee shall become the current release and the provisions of this |
---|
| 309 | Agreement shall apply accordingly. |

---|
| 358 | for in this Agreement will cease upon the termination of this |
---|
| 359 | Agreement or as otherwise provided for in this clause 13. |
---|
| 360 | |
---|
| 361 | 13.2 The Licensee acknowledges that the grant of the Licence or any |
---|
| 362 | other terms of this Agreement do not in any way confer any right |
---|
| 363 | or licence upon the Licensee to use, exploit or otherwise utilise |
---|
| 364 | any rights relating to the Licensor's Intellectual Property |
---|
| 365 | Rights other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. |

| 368 | title, right or interest in the ownership of the Licensor's |
---|
| 369 | Intellectual Property Rights nor do anything which might be |
---|
| 370 | contrary to the rights or interest of the Licensor in its |
---|
| 371 | Intellectual Property Rights nor seek to apply to register in its |
---|
| 372 | own name or that of any third party any part of the Licensor's |
---|
| 373 | Intellectual Property Rights and will assist the Licensor in any |
---|
| 374 | application to register any such Intellectual Property Rights |

---|
| 378 | Licensor in writing as soon as practicable of any infringement, |
---|
| 379 | suspected infringement or alleged infringement relating to the |
---|
| 380 | Licensor's Intellectual Property Rights which comes to its |
---|
| 381 | knowledge provided that the Licensee will be deemed to have |
---|
| 382 | knowledge of any infringement, suspected infringement or alleged |
---|
| 383 | infringement if such infringement would have come to the |
---|
| 384 | Licensee's knowledge but for any negligence or wilful misconduct |
---|
| 385 | on the part of the Licensee. |
---|
| 386 | |
---|
| 387 | 13.5 In the event that proceedings are brought or threatened by a |
---|
| 388 | third party against the Licensee or the Licensor, alleging that |
---|
| 389 | the Licensee's use of the Product Materials constitutes an |
---|
| 390 | infringement of a third party's Intellectual Property Rights, the |
---|
| 391 | Licensor may at its option and at its own expense conduct the |
---|
| 392 | defence of such proceedings. As requested by the Licensor the |
---|
| 393 | Licensee shall provide all necessary co-operation, information |
---|
| 394 | and assistance to the Licensor in the conduct of the defence of |
---|
| 395 | such proceedings. |

| 396 | |
---|
| 397 | 13.6 In the circumstances provided for in clause 13.5, but also where |
---|
| 398 | the Licensor acting entirely at its own discretion believes that |

| 399 | there is a reasonable likelihood that infringement may currently |
---|
| 400 | exist or is likely to occur, the Licensee agrees with the |
---|
| 401 | Licensor that it will permit the Licensor, acting entirely in the |
---|
| 402 | Licensor's discretion to; |
---|
| 403 | |
---|
| 404 | 13.6.1 modify, alter or substitute the infringing or potentially |
---|
| 405 | infringing part of the Product Materials, at the Licensor's expense |
---|
| 406 | in order to avoid the infringement or potential infringement; or |
---|
| 407 | |
---|
| 408 | 13.6.2 procure for the Licensee the authority to continue with the use and |
---|
| 409 | possession of the infringing or potentially infringing part of the |
---|
| 410 | Product Materials. |

---|
| 415 | written notice to the Licensee at which point the Licensee shall |
---|
| 416 | destroy all copies of the Product Materials within its possession and |
---|
| 417 | provide a written certificate from one of the Licensee's directors to |
---|
| 418 | the Licensor that such copies have been destroyed provided that the |
---|
| 419 | Licensor shall be entitled to enter upon the Licensee's premises to |
---|
| 420 | repossess any copies of the Product Materials in the possession, |
---|
| 421 | custody or control of the Licensee not returned or destroyed as |
---|
| 422 | provided for above. |
---|
| 423 | |
---|
| 424 | 13.8 The Licensee acknowledges that the Licensor will have no obligation |
---|
| 425 | to indemnify the Licensee against any damages, costs and losses |
---|
| 426 | incurred by the Licensee whether direct or consequential (including |
---|
| 427 | but without limitation any economic loss or other loss of turnover, |
---|
| 428 | profits, business or goodwill) in connection with any proceedings |
---|
| 429 | bought by a third party against the Licensee alleging that the |
---|
| 430 | Licensee's use of the Product Materials constitutes an infringement |
---|
| 431 | of that third party's Intellectual Property Rights. |
---|
| 432 | |

---|
| 435 | out of a claim by a third party pursuant to clause 13.5 where: |
---|
| 436 | |
---|
| 437 | 13.9.1 the claim arises from: |
---|
| 438 | |
---|
| 439 | a) use of the Product Materials in combination with any equipment or |
---|
| 440 | programs where such use is not authorised by the terms of this |

| 442 | |
---|
| 443 | b) use of the Product Materials in a manner or for a purpose not |
---|
| 444 | specifically provided for by this Agreement or authorised by the |

| 447 | c) modification or alteration of the Product Materials by the |
---|
| 448 | Licensee or any third party on behalf of the Licensee; and |

---|
| 451 | Product Materials without the Licensor's prior consent in writing |
---|
| 452 | which is not otherwise authorised by the terms of this Agreement; |
---|
| 453 | or |
---|
| 454 | |
---|
| 455 | 13.9.2 the ability of the Licensor to defend the claim has been prejudiced |
---|
| 456 | by the failure of the Licensee to comply with any requirements of |
---|
| 457 | clauses 13.4, 13.5 or 13.6. |
---|
| 458 | |
---|
| 459 | 13.10 The Licensee acknowledges that the Licensor is in no way liable to |
---|
| 460 | the Licensee in respect of any liability arising from the Licensee's |

| 472 | or ability to achieve a particular result; |
---|
| 473 | |
---|
| 474 | 14.1.2 makes no warranty that the Software is error free or that use of |
---|
| 475 | the Software will be uninterrupted and the Licensee acknowledges |
---|
| 476 | and agrees that the existence of such errors shall not constitute a |
---|
| 477 | breach of this Agreement; and |
---|

---|
| 482 | non-conformance with any warranty that can not be excluded pursuant |

| 483 | to clause 14.1 is that the Licensor will remedy such non-conformance |
---|
| 484 | (either by itself or through a third party) and if, in the Licensor's |
---|
| 485 | reasonable opinion, it is unable to remedy such non-conformance, the |
---|
| 486 | Licensor shall be entitled to terminate the Licence and this |
---|
| 487 | Agreement immediately on written notice to the Licensee at which |
---|
| 488 | point the Licensee shall destroy all copies of the Product Materials |
---|
| 489 | within its possession and provide a written certificate from one of |
---|
| 490 | the Licensee's directors to the Licensor that such copies have been |
---|
| 491 | destroyed provided that the Licensor shall be entitled to enter upon |
---|
| 492 | the Licensee's premises to repossess any copies of the Product |
---|
| 493 | Materials in the possession, custody or control of the Licensee not |
---|
| 494 | returned or destroyed as provided for above. |
---|
| 495 | |
---|
| 496 | 14.3 The Licensee will not disable or alter the display of the Software |

---|
| 510 | or consequential (including but without limitation any economic |

| 511 | loss or other loss of turnover, profits, business or goodwill) |
---|
| 512 | arising out of any dispute or contractual, tortuous or other |
---|
| 513 | claims or proceedings bought by the second party or which are |
---|
| 514 | alternatively bought against the second party as a result of the |
---|
| 515 | second party's breach of this Agreement. |
---|
| 516 | |
---|
| 517 | 15.2 Clause 15.1 shall not exclude any liability of the first party to |

---|
| 525 | (as defined in clause 16.1) as set out in this Agreement, which, if |
---|
| 526 | done or omitted to be done by the Licensee, would be a breach of |
---|
| 527 | the Licensee's obligations under this Agreement, |
---|
| 528 | |
---|
| 529 | and in respect of which the first party will indemnify the second party. |

---|
| 531 | 15.3 In the event that any limitation or provision contained in this |
---|
| 532 | Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason and |

---|
| 542 | second party in contract, tort, equity, statute, regulation or |
---|
| 543 | otherwise for any loss, damage, cost, legal costs, professional and |

---|
| 579 | security practices, provided that, this clause shall not extend |

---|
| 606 | |
---|
| 607 | b) disclose only the minimum Information required to comply with the |
---|
| 608 | applicable law or order. |
---|
| 609 | |
---|
| 610 | 16.3 The Licensee undertakes to ensure that persons and bodies referred to |
---|
| 611 | in clause 16.2 are made aware before the disclosure of any part of |

| 828 | 31.10 Each party recognises that the other party's business relies upon the |
---|
| 829 | protection of its Intellectual Property Rights and that in the event |
---|
| 830 | of a breach of Intellectual Property Rights, the other party will be |
---|
| 831 | caused irreparable damage and such other party may therefore be |
---|
| 832 | entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief in order to prevent |

| 845 | this Agreement or otherwise) in any country where it believes that |
---|
| 846 | infringement or a breach or potential infringement or breach of |
