READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE DOWNLOADING VELIXO’S PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE (the “Software”) OR OBTAINING A LICENSE KEY TO THE SOFTWARE OR USING THE SOFTWARE. THE SOFTWARE IS COPYRIGHTED AND IT IS LICENSED TO YOU UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, NOT SOLD TO YOU. BY DOWNLOADING THE SOFTWARE OR OBTAINING A LICENSE KEY TO THE SOFTWARE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT, THAT YOU UNDERSTAND IT, AND THAT YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS. IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU SHOULD REFRAIN FROM ACCESSING OR USING THE SOFTWARE. THIS AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND VELIXO CONCERNING THE SOFTWARE, AND THIS AGREEMENT SUPERSEDES AND REPLACES ANY PRIOR PROPOSAL, REPRESENTATION, OR UNDERSTANDING YOU MAY HAVE HAD WITH CONCERNING RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE.

1. LICENSE

 1.1.        Grant of License.

Velixo hereby grants to you, and you accept, a limited, nonexclusive license to use the Software in machine-readable, object code form only, and the user manuals accompanying the Software (the “Documentation”), only as authorized in this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Software” includes any corrections and enhancements including hot fixes, patches, work-arounds, updates and upgrades to the Software (“Maintenance Releases”) made available to end-users through Velixo’s web site (https://velixo.com). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Velixo shall be under no obligation to provide any Maintenance Releases.

 1.2.        Scope of Use.

You may make and use as many copies of the Software as your license allows. The Software may not be used on or distributed to a greater number of computers than you have licenses for.

Velixo expressly prohibits simultaneous, multiple installations of our licensed products and domain count overrides without prior written approval. Any unauthorized use shall be considered by Velixo to be a violation of this Agreement. Velixo reserves the right to remedy violations immediately upon discovery, by giving written notice thereof to you and changing the then current list price of unauthorized keys to the credit card used to make the original, authorized purchase, or by any other means necessary. You agree not to block, electronically or otherwise, the transmission of data required for compliance with this Agreement.

4.2.        Your license includes an expiration date that can result in the termination of the license. Your subscription fees must be processed prior to the expiration date of your license in order for the license updates to be performed and the license to use the Software to be extended.

You may terminate this License Agreement at any time by: (i) providing written notice of your decision to terminate the Agreement to Velixo, and (ii) either returning the Software, Documentation, all copies thereof, and all license keys that you have obtained to Velixo or destroying all such materials and providing written verification of such destruction to Velixo. Velixo may terminate this Agreement if you breach any term of the Agreement by giving you written notice of your breach and Velixo’s decision to terminate the Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement by Velixo, you agree to either return to Velixo the Software, Documentation, all copies thereof, and all license keys that you have obtained, or to destroy all such materials and provide written verification of such destruction to Velixo.

5. REMEDIES, INDEMNIFICATION

5.1.        Velixo shall, at its expense, indemnify you against any and all actions, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, grants, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, related to any claim made by an unaffiliated third party that the Software infringes its patent, copyright or trademark or misappropriates its trade secret; provided (i) you notify Velixo, in writing, not later than 30 days after you receive notice of the claim, (ii) you give Velixo sole control of the defense and any settlement negotiations, and (iii) you cooperate with Velixo in defending against or settling the claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Velixo’s indemnification obligations will not be relieved due to Client’s failure to meet the notification requirement in Section 5.1(i) above unless and to the extent Velixo is actually prejudiced by Client’s delay. Velixo’s obligation of indemnification will not apply to the extent that the claim is based on:

(i) your use of the Software after Velixo notifies you to discontinue use due to such a claim; (ii) your combining the Software with non-Velixo product, data or business process including third party add-ons or programs; (iii) damages attributable to the value of your use of a non-Velixo product, data or business process; (iv) your altering or modifying the Software, including any modifications by third parties; or (v) your use of the Software in violation of this Agreement. You will reimburse us for any costs or damages that result from these actions. If Velixo receives information concerning an infringement or misappropriation claim related to the Software, Velixo may, at its expense and within a reasonable time, either (i) procure for you the right to continue to run the Software or (ii) modify the Software or replace it with a functional equivalent, to make it non- infringing, in which case you will stop using the allegedly infringing Software immediately. If, as a result of an infringement or misappropriation claim, your use of the Software is enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction, Velixo will, at its option and within a reasonable time, either procure the right to continue its use, replace it with a functional equivalent, modify it to make it non-infringing, or refund the amount paid and terminate the license granted in this Agreement. This Section 5.1 constitutes your exclusive remedy for third party infringement and trade secret misappropriation claims.

5.2.        You will, at your own expense, indemnify and hold Velixo, and its subsidiaries and affiliates, and all officers, directors, and employees thereof, harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, grants, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (collectively, “Claims”), arising out of any claim made by an unaffiliated third party related to the negligence or willful misconduct in use of the Software by you, or any party acting upon your authorization, in material breach of this Agreement.
