B. Additional Terms:
The following additions to or modifications of the Standard Terms are incorporated into this Agreement:
(i) The following is added as Section 2.1(a):
2.1.(a) On-Premises. If an Order expressly indicates an on-premises license to the Provider Software, then subject to this Agreement, Provider hereby grants to Customer, during the Subscription Term, a limited, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable, nonsublicensable right and license to use the Provider Software in object code form for its internal business purposes, in accordance with the Documentation, on systems under Customer control, and only according to the use, and other, restrictions set forth in the Order. Upon the Effective Date of an Order, Provider will, at its expense, make the Provider Software available for download. The Provider Software will be deemed delivered when the electronic download is available. After the Subscription Term, Customer will promptly irrecoverably erase all versions of the Provider Software under its control. All references to the Cloud Services in this Agreement will apply to the Provider Software used in an on-premises environment.
(ii) The following Section is added as Section 10.4:
10.4 Reseller Orders. This Section applies if the Cloud Service is purchased by Customer through an authorized reseller of Provider (“Reseller”).
(a) Commercial Terms. Instead of paying Provider, Customer will pay applicable amounts to the Reseller as agreed between Customer and the Reseller. Customer’s order details (e.g., license units and fees) will be as stated in the order placed by the Reseller with Provider on Customer’s behalf (which, for the purposes of this Agreement will be considered an “Order” solely for the purposes of fees, Cloud Services usage scope, and Technical Services description). The Reseller is responsible for the accuracy of such order. Provider may terminate Customer’s rights to use the Cloud Service if it does not receive the corresponding payment from the Reseller. If Customer is entitled to a refund under this Agreement, Provider will refund any applicable fees to the Reseller and the Reseller will be solely responsible for refunding the appropriate amounts to Customer, unless otherwise specified.
(b) Relationship with Provider. This Agreement is directly between Provider and Customer and governs all use of the Cloud Service by Customer. Resellers are not authorized to modify this Agreement or make any promises or commitments on Provider’s behalf, and Provider is not bound by any obligations to Customer other than as set forth in this Agreement. Provider is not party to (or responsible under) any separate agreement between Customer and the Reseller and is not responsible for the Reseller’s acts, omissions, products, or services.
(iii) The following is added as Section 10.5:
10.5 Overages. If Customer is on track to exceed the capacity set forth in an Order on a three-month rolling average, Customer will either reduce usage or order additional capacity at pricing equivalent to the unit cost of the applicable Order. If Customer does neither within 30 days of such overage and is not working with Provider in good faith, Provider may invoice Customer (and Customer shall pay, in accordance with the Agreement) for such increased capacity at then current list prices, prorated for the remainder of the then applicable Subscription Term. Any such additional capacity, and corresponding fees, shall apply for the remainder of the then-applicable Subscription Term and any subsequent renewal.
(iv) The following is added as a second sentence to Section 12.1: “Each Subscription Term will renew for successive periods (with the same length, usage limits and fees) unless (a) the parties agree on a different renewal Order or (b) either party notifies the other of non-renewal at least 45 days prior to the end of the current Subscription Term.”
(v) The following replaces Section 17:
17. Publicity. Unless otherwise set forth in an Order, Provider may use Customer’s name or logo on its website and in marketing materials to identify Customer as a customer, subject to any usage guidelines Customer provides Provider. Provider will remove any reference to Customer upon request.

- The procedures set forth in this Section 6.2 are Customer’s exclusive remedies and Provider’s sole liability for breach of the Performance Warranty.
- Disclaimers. Except as expressly set out in this Agreement, each party disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and noninfringement.

- Indemnification.
- Indemnification by Provider. Provider, at its own cost, will defend Customer from and against any Provider-Covered Claims and will indemnify and hold harmless Customer from and against any damages or costs awarded against Customer (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) or agreed in settlement by Provider resulting from the Provider-Covered Claims.
- Indemnification by Customer. Customer, at its own cost, will defend Provider from and against any Customer-Covered Claims and will indemnify and hold harmless Provider from and against any damages or costs awarded against Provider (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) or agreed in settlement by Customer resulting from the Customer-Covered Claims.

Any non-permitted assignment is void. This Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of each party’s permitted successors and assigns.
- Governing Law and Courts.
- The Governing Law governs this Agreement and any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, without reference to conflict of law rules.

- Entire Agreement.
- This Agreement is the parties’ entire agreement regarding its subject matter and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreements regarding its subject matter. In this Agreement, headings are for convenience only and “including” and similar terms are to be construed without limitation. Excluding Orders, terms in business forms, purchase orders or quotes used by either party will not amend or modify this Agreement; any such documents are for administrative purposes only. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (including electronic copies and PDFs), each of which is deemed an original and which together form one and the same agreement. An Order may not modify any other part of this Agreement unless the Order specifically identifies the provisions that it supersedes.

- Waivers and Severability. Waivers must be signed by the waiving party’s authorized representative and cannot be implied from conduct. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary so the rest of this Agreement remains in effect.
- Force Majeure. Neither party is liable for a delay or failure to perform this Agreement due to a Force Majeure. If a Force Majeure materially adversely affects the Cloud Service for 15 or more consecutive days, either party may terminate the affected Order(s) upon notice to the other and Provider will refund to Customer any prepaid, unused fees for the terminated portion of the Subscription Term. However, this Section does not limit Customer’s obligations to pay fees owed.
- Subcontractors. Provider may use subcontractors and permit them to exercise its rights and fulfill its obligations, but Provider remains responsible for each subcontractor’s compliance with this Agreement and for Provider’s overall performance under this Agreement.
