Last updated: September 26, 2023  

The following terms and conditions, including the additional documents incorporated by reference herein, (collectively, the “Agreement”) constitute the contract by and between Cymonix LLC, a corporation existing under the laws of United States (“Licensor”) and the person or entity identified on the Quote as the licensee of the Software (“Licensee”). By clicking “I Agree”, you are agreeing to the terms of this Agreement and you (A) accept this Agreement and agree that Licensee is legally bound by its terms; and (B) represent and warrant that, if Licensee is a corporation, governmental organization, or other legal entity, you have the right, power, and authority to enter into this Agreement on behalf of Licensee and bind Licensee to its terms. If Licensee does not agree to the terms of this Agreement, do not click “I Agree,” or download, use or install the Software. This Agreement is effective on the date that you agree to the terms of this Agreement (the “Effective Date”).  

  1. INTERPRETATION  

1.1 Definitions  

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the following meanings:  

“Additional Documents” has the meaning set out in Section 1.2.  

“Additional Licensing Terms” means those additional licensing terms incorporated by reference into this Agreement between Licensor and Licensee that are applicable to specific Software, and available at www.cymonix.com or as provided with the Software.  

“Affiliate” means, with respect to any person, any entity which directly or indirectly Controls or is Controlled by or is under direct or indirect common Control with the person or any entity which is directly or indirectly Controlled by an entity which Controls the person. “Control” means, with respect to any person, the right or power, directly or indirectly, to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such person whether through the ownership of voting security, by contract or otherwise; and the term “Controlled” shall have the same meaning.  

“Authorized User” is a unit of measurement in respect of Software license usage. An Authorized User is a unique User, who may simultaneously access any number of instances of the Software concurrently such that no other User can access and use the Software using the credentials of any other Authorized User: a User can only use the Authorized User credentials that are specific to that User as an Authorized User. Licensee must obtain separate, dedicated licenses for each Authorized User, such license being unique to that Authorized User and may not be shared or reassigned without the prior written consent of Licensor. For clarity, each non-individual User is also an Authorized User and therefore requires a separate, dedicated license as if that device were an individual.  

“Borrow” is the act of removing a license from a pool of concurrent licenses for use of the Software on a specific device without access to a local network for the use by any Concurrent User on that device and which is subject to Software license usage restrictions.   

“Channel Partner Agreement” means an agreement among Licensor and Licensee whereby Licensee is authorized to distribute the Software to additional authorized parties. A Licensee is not obligated to be a channel partner and a Channel Partner Agreement is not required under this Agreement.  

“Concurrent User” is a unit of measurement in respect of Software license usage such that a Concurrent User license restricts the maximum number of Concurrent Users that can access and use the Software at any given time. A Concurrent User is any User who is accessing the Software at any point in time. For clarity, an Authorized User accessing multiple instances of the Software only counts as one Concurrent User; and each non-individual Authorized User is also a Concurrent User and therefore requires a separate, dedicated license as if that device were an individual.   

“Confidential Information” means all documents, information, technology and data disclosed or furnished in any connection with this Agreement by one Party to the other Party on or after the date of this Agreement, directly or indirectly, whether in oral, written, graphic, video, machine-readable or other form that is either marked or identified (in writing or orally) as being confidential or proprietary or that the receiving Party can reasonably conclude or ought to know is confidential or proprietary to the other Party. Confidential Information shall be deemed to include, but is not limited to, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, all software (except for the Software), documentation and all other technical and product information and documentation, trade secrets, and the whole of the concepts, processes, procedures, and know-how contained therein.  

“Documentation” means any and all user documentation applicable to the Software.  

“EMS” means the Entitlement Management System used to (i) activate licenses for use of the Software; (ii) manage license entitlements to conform with Authorized User, Concurrent User, Standalone User, and other Software entitlement restrictions; and (iii) restrict access to Software that is not properly activated.  

“Feedback” means all feedback, ideas, comments, and suggestions submitted by Licensee to Licensor concerning the Software or any services provided by Licensor, or part thereof.  

“Cymonix Subscription and Support Program” means the support and maintenance services for the Software available for a Licensee enrolled in the Cymonix Subscription and Support Program as further discussed in section 7.1 of this Agreement.  

“Internal Business Purposes” means use of the Software solely for Licensee’s internal business needs, based on such Software’s intended functionality. Internal Business Purposes do not include use of Software to provide any kind of service, action, assistance or support to third part(ies), unless Licensee is expressly permitted to otherwise do so pursuant to a Channel Partner Agreement. The meaning of “Internal Business Purposes” may be further specified in the Quote.  

“Internet License” is a type of license associated with the EMS through which Software licenses can be activated or through which Licensor can ensure that Licensee consumes licenses in accordance with the restrictions set out in the Agreement.  

“License Fee” means the license fees set out in the Quote(s).  

“Network License” is a type of license permitting access to use the Software via a Network Internet Server.  

“Party” means either Licensor or Licensee, and “Parties” means both Licensor and Licensee.  

“Permitted Use” has the meaning set out in Section 2.2.  

“Quote” means the quote provided by Licensor to Licensee, and accepted by Licensee, for Licensee’s purchase of the license for the Software granted under this Agreement together with any related services and for enrollment in the Cymonix Subscription and Support Program. More than one Quote may be established for Licensee. For clarity, the Quote may also include further terms and conditions applicable to the use of the Software.  

“SaaS” means having a pay as you go service to use the Software in a hosted environment without a license to the Software and which is governed by the terms of the SaaS Agreement.  

“SaaS Agreement” means those additional terms incorporated by reference into this Agreement between Licensor and Licensee that are applicable to specific Software that is provided as a SaaS, and whose terms are available at www.cymonix.com  or as provided with the Software.  

“Software” means the software set forth in the Quote in object code format, including any Updates or Upgrades provided to Licensee pursuant to this Agreement.  

“Specifications” means the specifications for the Software made available at the Cymonix Software Portal and, to the extent consistent with and not limiting of the foregoing, the Documentation.  

“Standalone License” is a type of license that is locked to a single workstation. Any Authorized User may access a single instance and copy of the Software that is located on the specific device with access restricted to only Authorized Users associated with the Standalone License, but always in a manner so that no Authorized User can access and use the Software using the credentials of any other User, including other Authorized Users and whether or not the Software is licensed on a Concurrent User or other basis.  Licensee must obtain sufficient Concurrent User licenses for all Authorized Users to have access to the Software subject to the Standalone License.  Once a copy of the Software is dedicated to a particular device pursuant to a Standalone License, that copy cannot be reassigned to another device without the prior written consent of Licensor. For clarity, each device on which a copy of the Software is located is specific for that Standalone License only and any other device requires a separate, dedicated license.  

“Subscription License” means a license to use the Software that is not a perpetual license, but which is a term license, with all rights to the Software expiring upon the end of the Subscription License.  

“Update” means updates, error corrections, patches, performance improvements or enhancements, compatibility enhancements and any other adaptations or modifications to the Software made by Licensor and published by Licensor from time to time.  

“Upgrade” means any updates made to the Software which are not Updates, including development of any new branches of the source code associated with the Software.  

“User” means an individual person that is an employee (including individuals that are independent contractors engaged by Licensee to supplement its workforce) who is authorized by Licensee to use the Software in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Quote. Any computing device that requests the execution of or receives for execution a set of commands, procedures, or applications from the Software or that is otherwise managed by the Software is considered a separate User of the Software.

  1. 2 Precedence of terms 

In the event of any conflict between or among the provisions of this Agreement, the Additional Licensing Terms, the Quote, and/or the Channel Partner Agreement (the “Additional Documents”), the document that is higher in the following list will take precedence:  

  • a.

    the Quote;
  • b.

    the Additional Licensing Terms;
  • c.

    the Channel Partner Agreement to the extent it explicitly states it takes precedence over this Agreement; and
  • d.

    this Agreement.

    SOFTWARE AND LICENSE

2.1 Software License 

Licensor hereby grants to Licensee a perpetual, non-transferable, non-sub-licensable, and non-exclusive license to access, install, make backup copies of, and use, and make and install copies of, the Software and associated Documentation solely for the Permitted Use (the “Software License”), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Documentation supplied and made available to Licensee may be used solely to install, operate, maintain, support and otherwise use the Software to the extent required for the Permitted Use. For greater certainty, this Agreement applies to any and all copies of the Software made by Licensee.  

Despite the foregoing, for Software subject to EMS, the Licensee must activate the Software in accordance with the EMS protocols provided by Licensor which is an initial activation of the Software. The Software License above is deemed to not be granted until the Software is activated and the Licensee is deemed to have no license in the Software until activation has occurred.  The Licensee may activate Licenses either through an Internet License or through a manual procedure.  Further, EMS may be used in order to ensure that Licensee is not consuming licenses in the Software in excess of the amounts granted.  

Where the Software has been properly activated and consumed using EMS and a User properly Borrows Software but the device requests an EMS verification with respect to the Software License, the Software used whilst Borrowed is deemed to be activated and properly consumed where the activation request is unrelated to the requirement for initial activation of the Software but is a result of the Software not having access to either the EMS or the central server from which the Software was Borrowed.  

Except for Standalone Licenses, all other Software Licenses shall be deemed to be Network Licenses.  For both Standalone Licenses and Network Licenses, the Licensee is permitted to have copies of the Software on individual devices.  Where a Concurrent User license is provided, the act of accessing and using the Software is deemed to be consuming one of the Concurrent Licenses for the purposes of this Agreement.  

When Software is Borrowed, the Borrowed Software is still deemed to be a part of the Network License despite the Software not being connected to a network whilst Borrowed.  

2.2 Permitted Use 

Subject to this Agreement and any applicable Additional Licensing Terms, Licensee shall be permitted to access, install, make backup copies of, and use the Software and Documentation for its Internal Business Purposes (the “Permitted Use”), provided: (a) Licensee ensures that itself and any other person using the Software does so in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and only on Licensee’s behalf; (b) Licensee may only use the Software up to the number of Concurrent Users and Authorized Users per the Quote; (c) Licensee has activated the Software License as necessary and (d) backup copies may only be made if: (i) Licensee is in compliance with this Agreement; (ii) if the Software has a limit on its number of Authorized Users or Concurrent users, the backup copy does not execute unless the backup Software is not able to execute (and the use of the backup Software shall expire once the primary Software instance is again available); and (iii) all copyright notices and indicators of ownership are reproduced on all copies and partial copies of the Software. For greater certainty, if Licensee has been granted additional certain rights pursuant to the Quote (e.g. distribution rights, rights to modify or support software, or right to embed software in Licensee’s solutions), “Permitted Use” shall also include the permission to exercise such additionally granted rights only in furtherance of Licensee’s Internal Business Purpose for the specific Software referenced in the Quote.  

2.3 Restrictions on Use 

Licensee’s use of the Software is subject to the following restrictions and limitations. Licensee shall not: (a) except as otherwise expressly authorized, provide, disclose, sublicense or otherwise permit any third party to access, use, read, disseminate, transmit, download or reproduce the Software or Documentation; (b) adapt, translate, change, customize, enhance, augment, partially delete or alter, or otherwise modify the Software in any manner or to any extent whatsoever, whether in whole or in part; (c) use any of the part of the Software’s components, files, modules, audio-visual content, or related licensed materials separately from that Software; (d), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, disassemble, decompile, reverse engineer, or otherwise in any manner deconstruct all or any part of the Software; (e) use the Software in excess of the limits for Concurrent Users or Authorized Users that Licensee has obtained per a Quote, or any other limitation on Licensee’s Users’ use of the Software pursuant to this Agreement and the Additional Documents; (f) use the Software, as a “service bureau” or in a time-sharing, application service provider or other similar model to provide the benefit of the use of the Software to any person except as expressly permitted hereby; (g) copy the Software, except as expressly set out in this Agreement; (h) use the Software in any manner that would negatively impact the commercial reputation of Licensor or Licensor’s brand; (i) resell, distribute, or repackage the Software whether in binary or source form, including in the form originally provided by Licensor to the Licensee, to any third party for any purpose (other than as otherwise specifically permitted in this Section or subject to any Channel Partner Agreement terms); (j) Borrow the Software in excess of or in a manner that would result in excess of the limits for Concurrent Users or Authorized Users that Licensee has obtained per a Quote, or any other limitation on Licensee’s Users’ use of the Software pursuant to this Agreement and the Additional Documents; and (k) use the Software in a manner that does not comply with, applicable laws, regulations and policies, or any Additional Licensing Terms, including those Additional Licensing Terms that may be referenced in a Quote.  

2.4 Authorized Third Party Access 

  • a.

    icensee may provide access to the Software to its Users, subject to the terms of this Agreement including the protection of Confidential Information, and if applicable, any Channel Partner Agreement, for the Permitted Use only. Unless expressly stated otherwise, no User shall be permitted to use the Software for its own benefit. Licensee will promptly on request notify Licensor in writing of all Users which have been provided access. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee may provide access to the Software and to the data generated by the Software to third parties to the extent such right is expressly granted to Licensee in the Additional Licensing Terms and the third party is licensed as either a Concurrent User or Authorized User if access to and use of the Software is provided. Even if the third party only has rights to review data, generate data, and input data, the third party must still be a User of the Software and licensed appropriately.
  • b.

    Licensee remains liable to Licensor for compliance with this Agreement by all third parties, including Users, to whom it provides access to the Software or data generated by the Software.

Licensor reserves the right in its sole discretion to provide any Upgrades to Licensee and any decision by Licensor not to provide an Upgrade to Licensee shall not constitute a breach of the terms of this Agreement. Updates and Upgrades remain subject to the terms of this Agreement and any applicable Additional Licensing Terms, provided that new Additional Licensing Terms may be provided in conjunction with the Update or Upgrade. Licensee agrees to the terms of this Agreement as modified by the new Additional Licensing Terms upon installation, access or use of the Update or Upgrade.  

2.6 Licensee Security    

Licensee is solely responsible for implementing safeguards to protect the security of its own systems when accessing and using the Software, including to take precautions against viruses, worms, trojan horses and other items of a disabling or destructive nature. It is the responsibility of Licensee to be familiar with all applicable safety standards and ensure that the Software is maintained and operated by Licensee in a safe manner and suitable environment.

    CONFIDENTIALITY

6.1 Use of Confidential Information  

Licensee shall be permitted to use the Confidential Information of Licensor solely, and to the extent necessary, for its Internal Business Purposes in connection with its operation and use of the Software as permitted by this Agreement. Licensor shall be permitted to use the Confidential Information of Licensee solely and to the extent necessary for its Internal Business Purposes in connection with the installation, provision and support of the Software and its activities related thereto and as otherwise set out in this Agreement. Each Party receiving Confidential Information (“Recipient”) of the other Party (“Discloser”) shall hold in confidence and shall protect (using efforts and measures it uses to protect Recipient’s own confidential information of a similar nature, but in any event reasonable efforts and measures) the Confidential Information of the Discloser from harm, loss, theft, reproduction and unauthorized access while in its possession or control. Recipient acknowledges and agrees that the Confidential Information it may receive from the Discloser is the sole and exclusive property of Discloser (and/or its suppliers and licensors) and is highly valuable, confidential and material to the interests, business and affairs of Discloser, and that disclosure thereof would be detrimental to the interests, business and affairs of Discloser.  

6.2 Exceptions; Permitted Disclosure  

Recipient shall be permitted to disclose relevant aspects of the other Discloser’s Confidential Information to its officers, directors, employees, agents and professional advisors to the extent that such disclosure is reasonably necessary for the performance of its duties and obligations or the exercise of any rights or privileges granted under this Agreement; provided, however, that prior to such disclosure such Discloser shall inform such persons and parties of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information. Recipient shall, subject to the terms hereof, be fully responsible for ensuring that any such persons to whom it discloses Discloser’s Confidential Information comply with the confidentiality obligations contained in this Agreement and Recipient shall be liable for any breach of this Agreement by such persons. Recipient may disclose the Confidential Information of Discloser that: (a) is either prior to furnishing the Confidential Information or thereafter becomes known to the public without fault or breach of Recipient; (b) Recipient obtains from a third party without restriction on disclosure and without breach by such third party of a non- disclosure obligation to Discloser; (c) is already known to Recipient at the time of disclosure not otherwise subject to other confidentiality provisions, as proven by documentary evidence; and (d) is independently developed by Recipient, without any reference or use of any of Discloser’s Confidential Information. The obligations of confidentiality contained in this Agreement shall not restrict any disclosure by Recipient to the extent Recipient is required to disclose the Confidential information by applicable law or a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that it shall not make any such disclosure without first notifying Discloser and allowing Discloser a reasonable opportunity to seek injunctive relief from (or a protective order with respect to) the obligation to make such disclosure. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, Recipient shall use reasonable efforts to furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which it is legally required to provide.  

6.3 Unauthorized Disclosure

Recipient shall notify Discloser promptly upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Discloser’s Confidential Information, and will cooperate with the Discloser in every reasonable way to help regain possession of such Confidential Information and to prevent its further unauthorized use or disclosure.  

6.4 Survival and Return of Information

The obligations of confidentiality in this Agreement shall be effective throughout the Term (defined below) and, notwithstanding the return of any Confidential Information or any other event, shall continue in full force and effect following its termination. Without prejudice to any other rights provided herein, upon termination of this Agreement, each Party shall return to the other all Confidential Information of such other Party in its possession or control, or destroy such Confidential Information, including any copies or reproductions thereof, provided, however, each Discloser recognizes that despite such attempts to destroy such Confidential Information, electronic representations of Confidential Information may continue to exist, subject to the terms hereof, in the Recipient’s data system backup applications, or similar storage media.
