3.11 Cloud Service End-User Accounts.
User’s use of the Cloud Services and the number of End-Users of the Cloud Services will be limited to the number of End-User Accounts specified in the Transaction Terms. User will not attempt to circumvent such limitation by permitting its representatives or agents to share the same End-User Account regardless of whether such sharing occurs at different times. For clarity, and by way of example, User will not allow one End-User employee to login with name1/password2 in the morning and then later in the same day, allow a different End-User employee to login with the same name1/password2.

3.12 Further Restrictions.
User will not directly or indirectly (by causing or permitting others to): remove or modify any program markings or any notice of Scriptel’s or its licensors’ proprietary rights; modify, make derivative works of, disassemble, decompile or reverse engineer any part of the Software or Cloud Services by reviewing data structures or similar materials produced by programs or by any other means; provided, however that User may prepare Permitted Derivatives in accordance with Section 5.3 of this Agreement; perform or disclose any of the following security test activities related to the Service Environment or associated infrastructure without Scriptel’s prior written consent: network discovery, port and service identification, vulnerability scanning, password cracking, remote access testing or penetration testing; or license, sub-license, sell, rent, lease, sublease, transfer, assign, distribute, display, host, outsource, disclose, permit timesharing or service bureau use, or otherwise commercially exploit or make the Cloud Services or Service Environment available, to any third party, other than as expressly permitted in the Transaction Terms.

User will cooperate with Scriptel’s audit and provide reasonable assistance and access to information. Any such audit will not unreasonably interfere with User’s normal business operations. User will pay within thirty (30) days of written notification, any fees applicable to User’s use of the Cloud Services in excess of the User’s rights under this Agreement. If User does not pay, Scriptel may terminate the Cloud Services or Transaction Terms. Scriptel will not be responsible for any of User’s costs incurred in cooperating with the audit.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the definition of Software will exclude all Permitted Derivatives.

5.4  Attribution & Proprietary Notices.
User will not remove or alter the attribution, copyright, proprietary and other legal notices set forth in the Software. In the event that User incorporates the Software into another software program of User or a third party, User will configure such program so that the following statement is set forth adjacent to, and above, the location in such program’s source code where the Software is used: “This software contains code of Scriptel Corporation, the sole owner of the copyrights in such code, permitted for use in accordance with the Scriptel End User License Agreement available at scriptel.com.

The right to create derivatives of such original code is subject to the Scriptel End User License Agreement available at scriptel.com. This notice must be included in all future derivatives.”

6.1  User will be responsible for identifying and authenticating all End-Users of End-User Accounts, for approving access by such End-Users to the Cloud Services, for controlling against unauthorized access by such End-Users, and for maintaining the confidentiality of usernames, passwords and account information of such End-Users. By federating or otherwise associating End-User and End-User Account usernames and passwords with Scriptel, User hereby accepts responsibility for, and will be responsible for, the timely and proper termination of End-User records in User’s local identity infrastructure (e.g., intranet or central server) or on User’s local computers. User will not (and will cause its End-Users not to) perform any upload or transmission, or take any other action, with the intention or recklessness to harm, impair or disable the Cloud Services or Service Environment. Scriptel will not be responsible for any harm caused by End-Users, including individuals who are not authorized to have access to the Cloud Services but who are able to gain such access because usernames, passwords or accounts were not terminated on a timely basis in User’s local identity management infrastructure or User’s local computers. User will be responsible for all activities that occur under User’s and End-Users’ usernames, passwords or accounts or that result from User’s or End-Users’ access to the Cloud Services. User will provide written notice to Scriptel immediately after any unauthorized use of the Cloud Services.

6.2  User will not use, or permit use of, the Cloud Services by any means (including, without limitation, by uploading, emailing, posting, publishing or otherwise transmitting any material, including User Content or Third Party Content) for any purpose that may: (a) constitute an infringement of intellectual property or other proprietary rights; or (b) otherwise violate any applicable laws, ordinances or regulations. In addition to any other rights afforded to Scriptel under this Agreement, Scriptel reserves the right, but has no obligation, to take remedial action if any material violates the foregoing restrictions, including the removal or disablement of access to such material. Scriptel will have no liability to User arising from any such action taken by Scriptel. User will have sole responsibility for the use, accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability and appropriateness of all User Content.

6.3  User will accept all Updates generally released by Scriptel and as may be described in the Documentation. Except for emergency or security-related maintenance activities, User will cooperate with Scriptel for scheduling any Update implementation based on Scriptel’s next available standard maintenance window.

7.1  Any fees payable to Scriptel pursuant to Transaction Terms will be due within thirty (30) days from the invoice date or due date specified in the Transaction Terms, whichever comes first. Once placed, an order associated with Transaction Terms is non-cancelable, and the sums paid are nonrefundable, except as provided in this Agreement or the Transaction Terms. User will pay any sales, value-added or other similar taxes imposed by applicable law that Scriptel must pay based on any fees charged for Software or Cloud Services, except for taxes based on Scriptel’s income. Also, User will reimburse Scriptel for reasonable out of pocket expenses related to providing any professional services. Any fees for Software and Cloud Services listed in the Transaction Terms do not include taxes or expenses.

7.2  User acknowledges that Scriptel may send multiple invoices to User for Software or Cloud Services rendered under different sets of Transaction Terms. Scriptel may send the invoices electronically to the email address of User specified in the applicable Transaction Terms for invoicing. Scriptel will not be required to mail invoices in paper form.

7.3  User acknowledges that, as consideration for assuming any payment obligations provided in the Transaction Terms, User has not relied on the continued availability of any Cloud Services after the applicable Service Period set forth in the Transaction Terms.

8.1  The term of this Agreement will begin on the Effective Date and will continue for as long as User possesses any copy or portion of the Software or uses any Cloud Services; provided, however, that such term may be terminated earlier in accordance with this Section 8.

8.2  User will have the right to terminate this Agreement by destroying all copies of the Software, terminating all use of the Cloud Services and providing Scriptel with a written notice, certifying the completion of such steps. User’s termination under this Section will not give User the right to any refund for any fees paid by User under this Agreement.

8.3  Regarding any Software or Cloud Services that Scriptel has offered or provided at no charge, whether on a trial basis or otherwise, Scriptel will have the right to permanently terminate all of the rights in this Agreement with respect to such Software or Cloud Services (as applicable) at any time, with or without cause.

8.4  Scriptel will provide the Cloud Services for the Service Period, if any, specified in the Transaction Terms, unless earlier suspended or terminated in accordance with this Agreement or the Transaction Terms. If specified in the Transaction Terms, certain Cloud Services will Auto Renew for additional Service Periods unless: (a) User provides Scriptel with written notice no later than sixty (60) days prior to the end of the applicable Service Period of User’s intention not to renew such Cloud Services; or (b) Scriptel provides User with written notice no later than sixty (60) days prior to the end of the applicable Service Period of its intention not to renew such Cloud Services.

8.5  If User fails to make any payment for Cloud Services when due according to the Transaction Terms, Scriptel will have the right to immediately suspend and disable the Cloud Services. Scriptel may notify User of any such suspension, stating the amount of the payment required to resume the Cloud Services. Scriptel’s suspension right under this Section will not waive Scriptel’s right to terminate this Agreement or the Transaction Terms in accordance with Section 8.6 below.

8.6  If either Party breaches a term of this Agreement and fails to correct the breach within thirty (30) days of written specification of the breach, then the breaching Party will be in default, and the non-breaching Party may terminate the Transaction Terms under which the breach occurred or this entire Agreement. If Scriptel terminates the Transaction Terms or this Agreement according to such procedure, User will pay within thirty (30) days, all amounts that have accrued prior to such termination, as well as all sums remaining unpaid for the Software and Cloud Services ordered under this Agreement plus related taxes and expenses. Except for nonpayment of fees, the non-breaching Party may agree, in its sole discretion, to extend the thirty day period for so long as the breaching Party continues reasonable efforts to cure the breach. While User is in default under this Agreement, User may not use the Software or Cloud Services, and the right set forth in Section 3.1 of this Agreement will be suspended.

8.7  Scriptel may temporarily suspend an End-User password, End-User Account, and access to or use of the Cloud Services if User or an End-User violates any provision within Section 3, 6, 7, 9, 10, 14, 16 or 18 of this Agreement, or if in Scriptel’s reasonable judgment, the Cloud Services or any component thereof, are about to suffer a significant threat to security or functionality. In the case of such a threat: (a) Scriptel will provide advance notice to User of any such suspension in Scriptel’s reasonable discretion based on the nature of the circumstances giving rise to the suspension; and (b) Scriptel will use reasonable efforts to re-establish the affected Cloud Services promptly after Scriptel determines, in its reasonable discretion, that the threat giving rise to the suspension has been cured. From the start of any suspension period under this Section through the termination of this Agreement, Scriptel will use reasonable efforts to provide User with, or make available to User, the User Content as existing in the Service Environment on the date of suspension. If any of the foregoing causes of suspension is not cured within thirty (30) days after the suspension starts, Scriptel may terminate the Cloud Services under the Transaction Terms or this Agreement entirely. Any suspension or termination by Scriptel under this Section will not excuse User from User’s payment obligations under this Agreement.

8.8  Upon the termination of this Agreement, User will destroy all copies of the Software and will no longer have rights to access or use Software (whether on a standalone basis or as installed on Hardware), Cloud Services or Cloud Service Environment. Upon the termination of this Agreement, Scriptel will have the right to permanently delete, render inaccessible or securely archive any User Content that remains in the Cloud Service Environment. For clarity, Scriptel will have the right, but not the obligation, to archive, store or otherwise retain any User Content after the termination of this Agreement, subject to Scriptel’s confidentiality obligations under Section 9 below.

8.9  The restrictions, prohibitions and obligations under Sections 3, 6, 10 and 16 (and Scriptel’s rights under such Sections) will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. The rights and obligations under the following provisions will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement: Sections 4.2, 5, 7, 8.8, 11 through 13, and 18 through 22. In addition, the rights and obligations under Section 9 of this Agreement will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement, subject to the limitations provided in Section 9.3 of this Agreement.

9.1  The Parties acknowledge that either Party (“Discloser”) might disclose confidential information to the other Party (“Recipient”) in connection with this Agreement. The term “Confidential Information,” as used in this Agreement, will mean: (a) Anonymized Information, Software (including, without limitation, all source code therein), Documentation, Cloud Services, Analysis Data and Cloud Service Environment owned by or licensed to Scriptel; and (b) the User Content residing in the Cloud Service Environment, including any Personally-Identifiable Information within such User Content, all of the foregoing excluding: (i) any and all Scriptel Open Code and Permitted Derivatives; and (ii) any and all information which: (x) is or becomes generally available to the public through no act of Recipient; or (y) is required to be disclosed by governmental regulation or court order, provided that Recipient will provide Discloser with sufficient advance written notice to allow Discloser to seek a protective order or to contest any such court order.

9.2  Recipient will: (a) hold and maintain in confidence, all Confidential Information received from Discloser; (b) not disclose to any third party, the Confidential Information received from Discloser; and (c) not use the Confidential Information received from Discloser for any purpose not related to or permitted by this Agreement; provided, however, that Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to those employees, agents or subcontractors who are contractually required in writing to protect it against unauthorized disclosure in a manner no less protective than required under this Agreement.

9.3  The rights and obligations under this Section 9 will terminate upon the expiration of three (3) years after the Effective Date; provided, however, that, upon the termination of this Agreement, Scriptel will have the right to immediately delete or otherwise destroy any and all of User’s Confidential Information and User Content that resides within the Cloud Service Environment to the extent permitted by applicable law.

10.1 The Documentation applicable to the Transaction Terms may define the administrative, physical, technical and other safeguards applied to the User Content residing in the Cloud Service Environment. User acknowledges that such safeguards might be ineffective or impaired depending upon the severity of any cyberattacks, hacks, viruses or other malicious events. User will be responsible for any security vulnerabilities, and the consequences of such vulnerabilities, arising from the User Content or misuse or unauthorized use of any End-User Account, including any viruses, Trojan horses, worms, cyberattacks, hacks or programming routines contained in the User Content that could: (a) limit or harm the functionality of a computer, tablet or other Internet access device; or (b) damage, intercept or expropriate data.

10.2 Scriptel and User acknowledge the possibility that the User Content might include Personally-Identifiable Information. Scriptel and User will comply with their respective obligations as mandated by the applicable state and federal laws pertaining to cybersecurity or the protection of personal data.

10.3 User will remain solely responsible for User’s regulatory compliance in connection with User’s use of the Cloud Services. User will provide Scriptel with written notice of any technical requirements that result from User’s regulatory obligations prior to entering into the Transaction Terms. Scriptel will cooperate with User’s efforts to determine whether use of the standard Cloud Services offering is consistent with those requirements. Additional fees may apply to any professional Cloud Services necessary to accommodate such requirements.

10.4 In the event that either Party discovers an incident involving any access or misuse of any Personally-Identifiable Information of the User Content by an unauthorized party while such Personally-Identifiable Information is being processed or stored by Scriptel, such Party (“Discovering Party”) will provide the other Party with written notice of any such event. The Discovering Party will provide such notice promptly and in no case later than ten (10) business days after learning about any such event. The Discovering Party will include in such notice, a description of the circumstances and facts related to such event. The Parties will cooperate to investigate such event to effectuate the Parties’ separate or collective responsibilities under the applicable laws.

11.1 In the event that Scriptel charges User any fees for Software, Scriptel warrants that such Software will conform in all material respects with the Documentation. The period of such warranty will begin on the delivery date of such Software and end upon the expiration of ninety (90) days thereafter. If User claims a breach of such warranty, User must promptly provide a written notice to Scriptel within such period. Such notice must describe the deficiency in detail, including, as applicable, the service request number notifying Scriptel of the deficiency. For any breach of warranty specified in such notice, User’s sole and exclusive remedy, and Scriptel’s entire liability, will be one of the following if Scriptel is able to repeat and ascertain the deficiency: (a) correction of the deficiency in such Software; or (b) refund of the fees paid by User for the deficient Software. Scriptel may elect, in its sole discretion, whether to provide the foregoing remedy (a) or (b). If Scriptel is unable to repeat and ascertain the deficiency, Scriptel will have no obligation under this Section with respect to the alleged deficient Software.

11.2 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SCRIPTEL AND ITS SUPPLIERS PROVIDE THE SOFTWARE, CLOUD SERVICES AND DOCUMENTATION “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS, AND HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS AND CONDITIONS, EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR PERFORMANCE, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, DUTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, INTEGRATION OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND OF LACK OF SECURITY.

14.1 The Cloud Services may enable User to link to, transmit User Content to, or otherwise access, other web sites, content, products, services, and information of third parties. Scriptel does not control, and will not be responsible for, such web sites or any such content, products, services or information accessible from or provided through the Cloud Services. User will bear all risks associated with access to and use of such web sites, third party content, products, services and information.

14.2 Any Third Party Content made accessible by Scriptel in or through the Cloud Service Environment is provided on an “as-is” and “as available” basis without any warranty of any kind. Third Party Content may be indecent, offensive, inaccurate, infringing or otherwise objectionable or unlawful, and User acknowledges that Scriptel will not be responsible for, and will be under no obligation to control, monitor or correct, any Third Party Content; provided, however, that Scriptel reserves the right to take remedial action if any such content violates applicable restrictions under Section 3 or 6 of this Agreement. Such remedial action may include, without limitation, the removal of, or disablement of access to, such content.

14.3 User acknowledges that: (a) the nature, type, quality and availability of Third Party Content may change at any time during the term of this Agreement; and (b) features of the Cloud Services that interoperate with services of third parties (each, a “Third Party Service”), depend on the continuing availability of such third parties’ respective application programming interfaces (APIs) for use with the Cloud Services. Scriptel may update, change or modify the Cloud Services under this Agreement as a result of a change in, or unavailability of, such Third Party Content, Third Party Services or APIs. If any third party ceases to make its Third Party Content or APIs available on reasonable terms for the Cloud Services, as determined by Scriptel in its sole discretion, Scriptel may cease providing access to the affected Third Party Content or Third Party Service without any liability to Scriptel. Any changes to Third Party Content, Third Party Service or APIs, including their availability or unavailability, during the term of this Agreement will not affect User’s obligations under this Agreement or the Transaction Terms, and User will not be entitled to any refund, credit or other compensation due to any such changes.

14.4 Any Third Party Content that User stores in the Cloud Service Environment will count towards any storage or other allotments applicable to the Cloud Services that User ordered.

This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles. The Parties hereby irrevocably agree and consent that: (a) the state and federal courts located within Franklin County, Ohio will have the sole and exclusive jurisdiction over any and all Actions; and (b) the venue for any and all Actions will be in Franklin County, Ohio.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY AND ALL ACTIONS. THIS WAIVER WILL BE IRREVOCABLE AND PERPETUAL. EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT: (A) IN THE ABSENCE OF THIS SECTION, SUCH PARTY WOULD HAVE HAD A RIGHT TO LITIGATE ACTIONS THROUGH A JURY TRIAL; AND (B) THIS WAIVER IS A SUBSTANTIVE TERM BARGAINED BY THE PARTIES AS CONSIDERATION FOR ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

20.4 Legal Costs Awarded to Prevailing Party.
In the event any Action occurs, the prevailing Party shall have the right to recover from the non-prevailing Party, all Legal Costs incurred by the prevailing Party in connection with such Action, including, without limitation, all Legal Costs related to activities occurring before and after the Action is filed or instituted in a court of law, including mediation activities, lawsuit preparation and other pre-lawsuit activities, lawsuit and litigation activities, post-lawsuit activities, and all settlement and negotiation activities. The non-prevailing Party hereby agrees and consents that the court shall award such Legal Costs to the prevailing Party.

21.1 The access to Software, Cloud Services or other service offerings, programs or products as described in one set of Transaction Terms constitutes an offer that is separate from any other set of Transaction Terms. User understands that User may order Software, Cloud Services or other service offerings, programs or products independently of any other Transaction Terms. User’s obligation to pay under any Transaction Terms is not contingent on performance of any other service offerings or delivery of programs or products under another set of Transaction Terms.

21.2 Notwithstanding Section 20 or anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of Section 3, 5, 6 or 9 of this Agreement by User, User acknowledges that Scriptel’s remedies at law would be inadequate and that Scriptel would suffer continuing and irreparable injury to its businesses and opportunities, and therefore, in the event of any such violation or threatened violation, Scriptel will be entitled, in addition to any other remedies available, to seek a temporary restraining order and other injunctive relief in a court of law without any requirement to prove actual damages or to post a bond, and Scriptel will be entitled to any other appropriate equitable relief that the court deems proper.

21.3 Upon the reasonable request of Scriptel, User will execute any additional certificates, instruments or other documents that may be reasonably necessary to fully implement this Agreement.

21.4 User will obtain, at User’s sole expense, any rights or consents from third parties necessary for the User Content and Third Party Content, as well as any other vendor’s products or services provided by User that User uses with the Software or Cloud Services, including such rights and consents as necessary for Scriptel to perform the Cloud Services under this Agreement.

21.5 User will provide Scriptel with all information, access and full good faith cooperation reasonably necessary to enable Scriptel to provide the Cloud Services, and User will perform any actions described in the Transaction Terms as User responsibilities.

21.6 In the performance of this Agreement, the Parties will at all times act as, and be deemed to be, independent contractors. Scriptel will not be considered an employee, joint venturer, agent or partner of User. Neither Party will be authorized to assume or create any obligations or responsibilities, express or implied, on behalf of, or in the name of, the other Party. No third party beneficiary relationships are created by this Agreement.

21.7 If any term of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, or becomes invalid or unenforceable by operation of law, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect, and such term will be replaced with another term consistent with the purpose and intent of this Agreement.

21.8 Scriptel’s delay or failure in enforcing any right or remedy afforded under this Agreement or by law will not prejudice or operate to waive that right or remedy or any other available right or remedy.
