Terms and Conditions

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE PURCHASING SOFTWARE SUBSCRIPTIONS FROM CSS. BY USING THE SOFTWARE SUBSCRIPTIONS FROM CSS, THE CUSTOMER AGREES TO AND ACCEPTS THIS AGREEMENT AND ACKNOWLEDGES IT HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THIS AGREEMENT. IF THE CUSTOMER DOES NOT ACCEPT THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, THEN IT MUST NOT USE THE SOFTWARE SUBSCRIPTIONS FROM CREATIVE SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS (EUROPE) LIMITED.

This Agreement contains the terms and conditions under which Creative Software Solutions (Europe) Limited “CSS” provides its Software and certain Support, on a subscription basis, to the Customer. This Agreement includes, and by this reference incorporates, CSS End User License Agreement, CSS General Terms and Conditions and the relevant Order Acknowledgement (jointly, the “Agreement”), all of which the Customer has read, understood and accepts. In the event of conflict or inconsistency among the documents, the order of precedence shall be as follows: (1) EULA, (2) Order Acknowledgement, (3) these Software Subscription Terms and Conditions, and (4) CSS General Terms and Conditions.

Terms used, but not otherwise defined in this Agreement, shall have the same meaning as those terms set out in CSS General Terms and Conditions and/or CSS End User License Agreement. Unless otherwise required by the context, words in plural shall also mean and include those in singular and vice versa.

1.1 Provision of Software Subscriptions. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, CSS shall, during the agreed Subscription Period (as defined in Section 2.1.17 below), provide Customer with the Software Subscription specified in the Order Acknowledgement and in accordance with the included Support Plan. Unless otherwise agreed, the Subscription Period will commence 30 days after issuance of an Order Acknowledgement.

1.2 Use of Software and Software Subscriptions.

1.2.1. Customer will use the Software Subscription and Software only for Customer’s internal use.

1.2.2. Distributing the Software or any portion of the Software Subscription for the benefit of a third party is a material breach of the Agreement even though the open source licenses applicable to individual software packages may give Customer the right to distribute those packages (and this Agreement is not intended to interfere with Customer’s right under those individual licenses).

1.2.3. The Software Subscription may be used under the terms of this Agreement by third parties acting on Customer’s behalf, such as contractors, subcontractors or outsourcing vendors provided (i) Customer remains responsible for all Customer’s obligations under this Agreement and for the activities and omissions of the third parties and (ii) Customer obtains CSS’s written consent before Customer migrates Customer’s Software Subscriptions and Software off of Customer premises and, in the case of a migration to a third party cloud or hosting provider, Customer agrees to any additional terms that CSS from time to time may require.

1.2.4. Any unauthorized use of the Software Subscriptions is a material breach of this Agreement, such as (i) only purchasing or renewing Software Subscriptions based on some, but not all, of the total number of actual units of Software utilised by the Customer, (ii) providing Software access or Software maintenance to third parties, (iii) using the Support provided under the Software Subscriptions to provide support to third parties, and/or (iv) using Support provided under the Software Subscriptions to support or maintain any non-CSS Software products without purchasing Software Subscriptions for each instance of such non-CSS Product for which Customer uses Software Subscriptions. For the avoidance of doubt, use of the Software Subscriptions for their intended purpose shall not constitute unauthorized use.

1.2.5. The use case determines which Software Subscription is required and what fees are charged. If Customer use or deploy the Software in a manner contrary to a supported use case, Customer is responsible for purchasing the appropriate Software Subscription(s) to cover such usage.

1.2.6. By using a trial subscription, Customer represent that Customer will be using the Software Subscriptions for trial purposes only and Customer understand that CSS is relying on the accuracy of Customer representation in providing Customer with access to the trial subscription(s). If Customer use the CSS trial subscription(s) for any other purposes, Customer is in violation of this Agreement and is required to pay the applicable subscription fees in addition to any and all other remedies available to CSS under applicable law. Examples of such violations include, but are not limited to, using the Software Subscriptions provided under an trial subscription for production purposes, offering support to third parties, or complementing or supplementing third party support with Software Subscriptions received through a trial subscription.

1.2.7. CSS may at any time without notice or liability, limit availability to the Software Subscriptions in order to perform maintenance activities.

1.2.8 Customers must not copy the software provided by CSS in whole or part under any circumstances.

1.3. End of Availability. CSS may, at its discretion, decide to retire Software (“End of Availability”).

End of Availability will be in conjunction with contractual customer arrangements and agreements.

1.4. Purchase Requirements.

1.4.1. Except as otherwise provided for by CSS, Customer may purchase initial Software Subscriptions only for the most current, generally available release of the Software.

1.5. Exclusions.

1.5.1.

1.6.5. Customer shall provide CSS a list of contacts (including names, email addresses and phone numbers) of those individuals authorized to open Support Requests on Customer’s behalf. These authorized contacts must have the access and authority to administer or configure the Software as required by the nature of the Support Request.

1.6.6. Customer is solely responsible for protecting and backing up the data and information stored on the computers on which the Software is used and should confirm that such data and information is protected and backed up in accordance with any internal or regulatory requirements as applicable, before contacting CSS for Technical Support.
