Each Licence includes the right for You to: i) use the relevant Software on different devices and by different users (subject to any geographical, business use or other restrictions stipulated in the Order Form); and ii) to install the relevant Software within a virtual (or otherwise emulated) hardware system provided that the use of the Software and the virtual machines are run on hardware owned by or leased to You (and use on any other hardware is not licensed under a Licence).

You are solely liable and responsible for Your Affiliates’ access and use of the Software and compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You are responsible for all activity occurring under Your User accounts and shall abide by all applicable local, state, national and foreign laws, treaties and regulations in connection with Your use of the Software, including those related to data privacy, international communications and the transmission of technical or personal data. Each Licence is subject to a restriction that the Software can only be used for the purposes of testing Salesforce.com instances and/or configurations.

 

2. TERM.

This Agreement shall come into force on the Effective Date and, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, it shall continue in force until the end of the last to expire of the licence terms as set forth in the Order Form. Each term shall continue for the duration set forth in the Order Form and, thereafter, shall be automatically extended for successive periods of 12 months at Provar’s then-current fees, unless: either party notifies the other party of termination of that Term, in writing, at least 35 days before the end of the then current term; or this Agreement (or the relevant term) is otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Products listed under the “One Off Products” table in the Order Form will be valid for the time period set forth in the Order Form and will not automatically renew at the end of the term.

Except as expressly permitted under this Agreement or by applicable law, You shall not: (i) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or separate for use on more than one computer, place for distribution, sale, or resale as individual creations by You, the Software and/or its constituent parts; (ii) alter, merge, adapt or translate the Software, or decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, or otherwise reduce the Software to a human-perceivable form; (iii) rent, lease, or sub-license the Software; (iv) unless otherwise expressly agreed in a separate written agreement between You and Provar (a) use, or permit the use of the Software on a timeshare or service bureau basis, (b) host, on a subscription basis or otherwise, the Software to permit a third party to use the Software for any reason; (c) create derivative works based upon the Software; or (v) publish or share any views or data about the performance of any Software, including any comparison and/or benchmarking against other software products.

 

4. FEES, BILLING, RENEWAL.

Fees for the Service are described in an associated Order Form. Any renewal charge will be based on the then-current fees. Provar can modify the prices by providing You at least 35 days’ prior notice before the next renewal term. The Fees exclude all VAT or any relevant local sales taxes, use, excise, import or export, value added, governmental permit fees, licence fees, and customs for which You shall be responsible. If You are legally obliged under applicable tax law to withhold any amount of any payment to Provar, then the amount of the payment to Provar shall be automatically increased to totally offset such tax, so that the amount remitted to Provar, net of all taxes, equals the amount invoiced or otherwise due. You will promptly furnish Provar with the official receipt of payment of these taxes to the appropriate taxing authority. You may provide Provar with a certificate of exemption acceptable to an applicable taxing authority.

 

5. TERMS OF PAYMENT.

Provar will issue an invoice to You on or about the Effective Date and on or about 30 days before the subsequent anniversary of the Effective Date for renewal terms as specified in the associated Order Form. Such fees shall be paid annually in advance. Unless otherwise stated on the applicable Order Form, fees are due net 30 days from the invoice date. Provar may invoice the Customer on or after the Order Form Signature Date for: i) the “Total Fees for One Off Products” as specified in the Order Form.  For each Product Row that appears under the heading “Subscription Products” in that Order Form table, Provar may invoice the Customer for the then current “Fees for each Billing Period”: i) for the first billing period on or after the Signature Date; and ii) for each subsequent Billing Period on or after the date 30 days before the start of that subsequent Billing Period.  If the Billing Period is stated to be “One Off for the Initial Term”, then for the purpose of the previous sentence the Billing Period for a Product Row is its Initial Term and so the “Total Fees for Subscription Products for each Billing Period” as specified on the Order Form may be invoiced by Provar on or after the Signature Date. You are responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information and notifying Provar of any changes to such information. All payment obligations are non-cancellable, and all amounts paid are non-refundable, except as expressly set forth in the Agreement to the contrary. Overdue amounts are subject to a late charge of 2% per month, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less, plus all expenses of collection.  If You or Provar initiates termination of this Agreement, You will be obligated to pay the balance due on Your account.

 

6. SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION.

If You are in breach of this Agreement, Provar may suspend Your access to and use of the Service until You have cured the breach. Additionally, either party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice if the other party materially breaches the Agreement and does not cure such breach within 30 days after written notice of such breach.  Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason: (a) any amounts owed to Provar by You under this Agreement before such termination will become immediately due and payable, and (b) Provar will terminate Your access to or use of the Software If this Agreement is terminated by You in accordance with this paragraph due to Provar’s uncured breach, Provar will refund You any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of all Order Forms after the effective date of termination.  In no event will termination relieve You of Your obligation to pay any fees payable to Provar for the period prior to the effective date of termination.
