7.2 The licensing described in the license guide shall remain in effect for the duration of the licensing period which the Licensee subscribes to, until the Licensee’s subsequent renewal of its subscription to the Product. For the avoidance of doubt, the validity of such licensing which the Licensee subscribes to can apply on:

• a monthly basis for monthly subscriptions;
• annually for annual subscriptions;
• any other period as mutually agreed and separately recorded in a separate agreement between Annata and the Licensee; or
• when the Licensee subscribes to a newer or updated version of the Product.

Please refer to Annata and/or the Partner for more details on the license guide.

7.3 Subject to section 10 of these Terms, the Licensee is entitled to a limited and specific level of support allocated to its subscription of the License for the Software during the warranty period. The Licensee may elect to subscribe to additional and improved levels of support subject to payment of additional fees to Annata. Please refer to Annata and/or the Partner for more details on the levels of support services available.

7.4 Additional functionality. Annata may provide additional functionality for the Software.

8.1 The Licensee acknowledges and agrees that the Software, Documentation, functions, structures, methods, charts, routines, characteristics, patterns, services, functional designs, test results and/or benchmarks, and all other related information as contemplated under these Terms (“Confidential Information”) are confidential and form part of Annata’s trade secrets and proprietary information. The Licensee shall uphold and guarantee the confidentiality of all such Confidential Information and shall ensure that the confidentiality of the Confidential Information and the intellectual property of Annata is protected and upheld to the highest standard of care and in any event, no less than the standard of care which the Licensee adopts towards its own confidential information and intellectual property.

8.2 With Licensee’s prior written approval (which shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld), Annata is entitled to mention the existence of these Terms and therefore use the name and logo of the Licensee for marketing and communication purposes.

9. Defence of infringement

9.1 Subject to section 8.4, Annata will at its own cost defend Licensee from and against actions, proceedings, claims and demands that arise out of or relate to a third party alleging that the Software infringes any intellectual property rights and will indemnify Licensee for all established and proven damages, reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees.

9.2 The Licensee shall immediately notify Annata, in writing, of any claim or proceeding, actual or threatened after the Licensee learns of such claim or proceeding and agrees to give Annata sole control over its defence and/or settlement. All such claims and proceedings which the Licensee may encounter shall be deemed Confidential Information and subject to section 7 of these Terms. The Licensee agrees to provide Annata with reasonable assistance in defending a claim, and Annata will reimburse the Licensee for reasonable out of pocket expenses that the Licensee may incur in providing such assistance.

9.3 Annata assumes no liability for any infringement claims (“IP Claim”) and Annata’s obligations will not apply to the extent that the IP Claim or any adverse final judgment is based on: (i) the Licensee’s continued use or distribution of the Software despite Annata notifying the Licensee to discontinue use of the Software; (ii) the Licensee combining the Software with a non-Annata product, program, hardware, data, business process, or other materials, including third party add-ons or programs; (iii) damages attributable to the use of a non-Annata product, data or business process; (iv) the Licensee altering or modifying the Software, including any modifications by third parties or at the Licensee’s direction; (v) the Licensee’s distribution of the Software to, or its use for the benefit of, any third party; (vi) the Licensee’s use of Annata’s trademark(s) without express written consent to do so or any other trademark infringement of the Licensee involving any trademark not applied by Annata or involving any trademark applied at the request of the Licensee; or (vii) for any trade secret claim, the Licensee acquiring a trade secret: (a) through improper means; (b) under circumstances giving rise to a duty to maintain its secrecy or limit its use; or (c) from a person (other than Annata) who owed to the party asserting the claim a duty to maintain the secrecy or limit the use of the trade secret. The Licensee shall fully indemnify Annata for any losses and/or damages that arise from these actions.

9.4 If Annata receives information concerning an IP Claim related to the Software, Annata may choose, at its sole cost and expense, in order to make the Software non-infringing, to do one of the following, (i) procure for the Licensee the right to continue to use the Software; (ii) modify the Software; or (iii) replace the Software with a functional equivalent. In case of an IP Claim the Licensee shall stop using the infringing part of the Software immediately. However, if the Licensee requires the use of and continues the use of the infringing part of the Software despite the IP Claim relating to the Software, the Licensee shall notify Annata in writing of its intention to do so and shall assume full responsibility for payment of any and all IP Claims directed at Annata (including cost) due to the continued use of the infringing part of the Software by the Licensee. If, as a result of an IP Claim, the Licensee’s use of the Software is enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction, Annata will, at its option, 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 for the License and terminate the License.

9.5 Entire liability. The provisions in this section 9 state the exclusive remedy of the Licensee with respect to any IP Claim.

10. Limitation and exclusion of damages

10.1 The Licensee can recover from Annata only direct damages up to the actual amount of fees the Licensee paid for the Software in the preceding twelve (12) months from the occurrence of an incident resulting in a claim for damages, except for claims covered by section 9 of these Terms.

10.3 The exclusions and limitations stated in this section 10 do not apply with respect to damages arising from fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

11. Limited Warranty

11.1 Limited warranty. The Software will perform substantially as described in the Documentation.

11.2 Term of warranty. The limited warranty covers the Software for one (1) year after installation by the Licensee. Annata issues regular supplements, updates, or replacement software as applicable (the “Updates”). Annata’s limited warranty for the Software is extended by ninety (90) days each time an Update is issued provided that the Licensee shall promptly install Updates received from Annata and stay current on all Updates in order to avoid significant degradation to the normal use of the Software. If Annata does not issue an Update, the term of warranty is twelve (12) months from the last Update. Licensee shall subsequently and promptly install such Update to extend the limited warranty as stated in this section.

11.3 Exclusions from warranty. This warranty does not cover problems arising from the Licensee’s acts or omissions, the acts or omissions of others, including but not limited to, modifications or implementations made by the Licensee, a Partner, or any other third party acting on the Licensee’s behalf, or events beyond Annata’s reasonable control.

11.4 Remedy for breach of warranty. Annata will repair the Software, its supplements, updates and/or replacement software supplied by Annata. If Annata cannot repair the Software, Annata will refund up to the actual amount of fees the Licensee paid for the Software in the preceding twelve (12) months. If Annata cannot repair the supplements, updates and/or replacement software, Annata will refund up to the actual amount of fees the Licensee paid for them, if any, in the preceding twelve (12) months. The Licensee must promptly uninstall the Software and return any Documentation, media and other associated materials to Annata and provide written confirmation upon completion, to Annata’s reasonable satisfaction. These are the Licensee’s only remedies for breach of the limited warranty.

11.5 Warranty procedures. In order to invoke the warranty as described above, the Licensee has to submit written notice to Annata, supporting evidence and/or documentation and proof of purchase of the License (if not reflected in Annata’s internal records), in order to make a claim under this warranty within the term of warranty (section 10.2) which: (i) clearly shows that the functionality of the Software substantially deviates from the Documentation; and (ii) that the Software shows a significant defect (i.e. a failure which causes one or more critical functions of the Software not to work resulting in the Software not functioning as a whole).

11.6 No other warranties. The limited warranty provided under this section 10 is the only warranty given by Annata. Annata does not provide any other express warranties, guarantees or conditions. Annata disclaims any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement to the extent permitted by law.

12. Audit and compliance

12.1 The Software may include features that provide Annata with usage information which identifies the number of users accessing the Software, access rights and tasks run by each user compared to the number of Licenses subscribed for by the Licensee (this includes e.g. telemetry, access and usage reports but excludes personal data) (“Usage Data”). The Licensee acknowledges and accepts that Annata shall be entitled to collect, process and store such Usage Data and such Usage Data shall at all times belong to Annata.

12.2 Right to audit compliance. During the term of the License and for two (2) years post-termination of the License, the Licensee shall keep and maintain documents, records, and other materials relating to the Licensee’s use of the Software and the Licensee’s performance of its obligations under these Terms including, without limitation, reports, orders, invoices, volume reports and records related to acquisition, delivery and, if applicable, destruction of the Software. Annata shall have the right to audit the Licensee’s compliance of its obligations under these Terms, at Annata’s expense. The Licensee agrees to provide reasonable cooperation in the event of a compliance audit and shall provide access to any information and material required, and, where required, reasonable access to Licensee’s premises, for the purposes of Annata auditing the Licensee’s compliance.

12.3 Audit process and limitations. To audit the Licensee’s compliance, Annata will engage an independent auditor from an internationally recognized public auditing firm, which will be subject to confidentiality obligations. Auditing will be performed by an independent auditor with no less than thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Licensee, during normal business hours and in a manner that does not interfere unreasonably with the Licensee’s operations. As an alternative, Annata can require and the Licensee shall agree to complete Annata’s self-audit questionnaire relating to the Software and the License.

12.4 Audit frequency. Annata shall be permitted to perform annual audits of the Licensee’s use of the Software and compliance of these Term. If Annata discovers, upon completion of audit that the Licensee did not under-subscribe for Licences amounting to five percent (5%) or less, Annata agrees not to audit the Licensee for at least one year thereafter.

12.5 Use of results. Annata will only use the information obtained in its audit to enforce Annata’s rights and to determine whether the Licensee is in compliance with these Terms. By invoking the rights and procedures described above, Annata does not waive its rights to enforce these Terms or to protect its rights by any other means permitted by law.

12.6 Remedies for non-compliance. If an audit reveals that the Licensee has underpaid fees for the Software, in addition to other remedies provided for by law and in these Terms, the Licensee shall be invoiced for such underpaid fees, for all periods which the Licensee was not in compliance with these Terms. The Licensee’s user Access License shall be deemed the highest applicable Access License if the type of user Access License cannot be ascertained during an audit. The Licensee may also be charged with up to twenty five percent (25%) additional fee as a penalty on all underpaid fees. If the License shortage is five percent (5%) or more, the Licensee must reimburse Annata for the costs Annata has incurred in relation to the audit.

13. Miscellaneous

13.1 Export restrictions. If the Software is an integrated add-on to a Microsoft product, then it is subject to United States export laws and regulations. The Licensee must comply with all domestic and international export laws and regulations that apply to the Software. These laws include restrictions on destinations, end users and end use. For additional information, see www.microsoft.com/exporting.

13.2 By signing these Terms, the Licensee hereby expressly accepts that any customer-specific information received by Annata on the basis of the relationship regulated by these Terms, i.e. concerning the Software, including Serial No., NACE Code, Name of Licensee, Address, Tel. No., Fax No., E-mail Address, URL, Contact Name and the name of the Licensee’s supplier, may be used internally within Annata only for the purpose of internal administration of the License to the Software.
