Licensee shall make reasonable efforts to ensure all Authorized Users are aware of and comply with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.
- Access to Software.
- Only Authorized Users are permitted to access and use the Software and related Documentation under this Agreement. Any access or use by unauthorized individuals is strictly prohibited. Licensee shall maintain a list of individuals who are Authorized Users (including the number of computers or devices) to use the Software. External professional service providers are not eligible to be Authorized Users unless expressly approved in writing by Licensor. Any unauthorized access or use shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement, and Licensee shall promptly notify Licensor upon discovery of such unauthorized access.

Licensee shall prevent unauthorized access to or use of the Software and shall notify Licensor in writing immediately upon discovering any unauthorized use, loss, or compromise of a Software Access ID.
- To comply with applicable privacy, data protection, and other laws, each Software Access ID is location-specific and may not be used outside the designated installation site. If Licensor suspects that a Software Access ID is being used outside the designated installation site, Licensor may suspend access or require Licensee to obtain and pay for an additional Software Access ID for the relevant location. Upon request, and subject to additional fees, Licensor may issue a geographically compliant Software Access ID.
- Third-Party Products. Licensor may distribute certain Third-Party Products with the Software. For purposes of this Agreement, such Third-Party Products are subject to their own license terms and the applicable flow through provisions referred to in the Order. If Licensee does not agree to abide by the applicable terms for such Third-Party Product, then Licensee should not install or use such Third-Party Products. Licensee understands and acknowledges that open source software is not licensed to Licensee pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and that this Agreement may not be construed to grant any such right and/or license. Licensee shall have only such rights and/or licenses, if any, to use the open source software in accordance with the terms of such Third-Party Product license agreement.

- Data Breach Notification. Licensor shall promptly notify Licensee of any unauthorized access, breach, or security incident affecting Licensee Data and take reasonable steps to mitigate any potential harm caused by Licensor.
- Fees and Payment.
- Fees. Licensee shall pay Licensor the fees “(Fees”), payable in advance, as specified in the Order, without offset or deduction. If Licensee fails to make any payment when due, in addition to all other remedies available, the following shall apply: (i) Licensor may charge interest on the past due amount at the rate of 1.5% per month, calculated daily and compounded monthly, or, if lower, the highest rate permitted under applicable law; and (ii) Licensee shall reimburse Licensor for all costs incurred in collecting any late payments or interest, including attorneys' fees, court costs, and collection agency fees; and (iii) Licensor may suspend access to the Software until all past due amounts and interest have been paid, without liability to Licensee or any third-party for such suspension of access to the Software.
- No Refund. All Fees paid by Licensee under this Agreement are non-refundable, non-cancelable, and non-creditable under any circumstances. For purposes of clarity, Licensor has no obligation to provide refunds, whether due to early termination, non-use, dissatisfaction, or any other reason. These terms apply to all Fees, including but not limited to license fees, support fees, maintenance fees, and any other payments made under this Agreement.
- Taxes. All Fees and other amounts payable by Licensee under this Agreement are exclusive of taxes and similar assessments. Licensee is responsible for all sales, use, and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties, and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental or regulatory authority on any amounts payable by Licensee hereunder, other than any taxes imposed on Licensor's income.
- Auditing Rights and Required Records. Licensee agrees to maintain complete and accurate records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles during the Term and for a period of two years after the termination or expiration of this Agreement with respect to matters necessary for accurately determining amounts due hereunder. Licensor may, at its own expense, on reasonable prior notice, periodically inspect and audit Licensee's records with respect to matters covered by this Agreement, provided that if such inspection and audit reveals that Licensee has underpaid Licensor with respect to any amounts due and payable during the Term, Licensee shall promptly pay the amounts necessary to rectify such underpayment, together with interest in accordance with this Section. Licensee shall pay for the costs of the audit if the audit determines that Licensee's underpayment equals or exceeds 5% for any quarter. Such inspection and auditing rights will extend throughout the Term of this Agreement and for a period of two years after the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
- Confidential Information. From time to time during the Term, either Party may disclose or make available to the other Party information about its business affairs, products, confidential intellectual property, trade secrets, third-party confidential information, and other sensitive or proprietary information, whether orally or in written, electronic, or other form or media/in written or electronic form or media, and whether or not marked, designated or otherwise identified as "confidential" (collectively, "Confidential Information"). Confidential Information does not include information that, at the time of disclosure is: (a) in the public domain; (b) known to the receiving Party at the time of disclosure; (c) rightfully obtained by the receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a third party; or (d) independently developed by the receiving Party. The receiving Party shall not disclose the disclosing Party's Confidential Information to any person or entity, except to the receiving Party's employees who have a need to know the Confidential Information for the receiving Party to exercise its rights or perform its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may disclose Confidential Information to the limited extent required (i) in order to comply with the order of a court or other governmental body, or as otherwise necessary to comply with applicable law, provided that the Party making the disclosure pursuant to the order shall first have given written notice to the other Party and made a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order; or (ii) to establish a Party's rights under this Agreement, including to make required court filings. On the expiration or termination of the Agreement, the receiving Party shall promptly return to the disclosing Party all copies, whether in written, electronic, or other form or media, of the disclosing Party's Confidential Information, or destroy all such copies and certify in writing to the disclosing Party that such Confidential Information has been destroyed. Each Party's obligations of non-disclosure with regard to Confidential Information commences on the effective date in the Order and will expire five years from the date first disclosed to the receiving Party; provided, however, with respect to any Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret (as determined under applicable law), such obligations of non-disclosure will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for as long as such Confidential Information remains subject to trade secret protection under applicable law.

- Intellectual Property Ownership. Licensee acknowledges that, as between Licensee and Licensor, Licensor owns all rights, title, and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to the Software and Documentation and, with respect to Third-Party Products, the applicable third-party licensors own all rights, title, and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to the Third-Party Products.

- Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Utah without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would require or permit the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Utah.

- Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OR DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT.
- Exclusive Remedies. The procedures specified in this Section 14 shall be the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of disputes between the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement; provided, however, that a Party may seek a preliminary injunction or other provisional judicial relief if in its judgment such action is necessary to avoid irreparable damage or to preserve the status quo.
- Assignment. Neither Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that either Party may assign its rights or delegate its obligations, in whole or in part, without such consent and upon 30 days prior written notice to the other Party, to an entity that acquires all or substantially all of the business or assets of such Party to which this Agreement pertains, whether by merger, reorganization, acquisition, sale, or otherwise. Any purported assignment, transfer, or delegation in violation of this Section will be null and void. No assignment, transfer, or delegation will relieve the assigning or delegating Party of any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
- Export Regulation. The Software may be subject to US export control laws, including the Export Control Reform Act and its associated regulations. Licensee shall not, directly or indirectly, export, re-export, or release the Software to, or make the Software accessible from, any jurisdiction or country to which export, re-export, or release is prohibited by law, rule, or regulation. Licensee shall comply with all applicable federal laws, regulations, and rules, and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval), prior to exporting, re-exporting, releasing, or otherwise making the Software available outside the US.
- Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such Party of any of its obligations under Section 8 would cause the other Party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other Party will be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity, or otherwise.
- US Government Rights. Each of the Documentation and the Software is a "commercial item" as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. § 2.101, consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation" as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. § 12.212. Accordingly, if Licensee is an agency of the US Government or any contractor therefor, Licensee only receives those rights with respect to the Software and Documentation as are granted to all other end users under license, in accordance with (a) 48 C.F.R. § 227.7201 through 48 C.F.R. § 227.7204, with respect to the Department of Defense and their contractors, or (b) 48 C.F.R. § 12.212, with respect to all other US Government licensees and their contractors.
