In consideration of the promises and the mutual agreements set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound, you and Piiano (each, a "Party", and collectively, the "Parties") hereby agree as follows:

1. Definitions.

For purposes of this Agreement and any exhibits attached hereto, the following capitalized terms shall have the following meaning:

1.1. "Affiliate" means with respect to a Party, any person or entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such Party, where "control" means ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting securities.

1.2. "Confidential Information" shall have the meaning given in Section 13.1 below.

1.6. "Order" means any order form agreed to in writing (including by electronic means) by both Parties, as applicable, for the purchase of a license to use or access any of the Products under this Agreement. An Order submitted by Licensee shall not be binding on Piiano until accepted by Piiano in writing, following which it shall constitute an integral part of this Agreement. No terms or provisions shall be included in an Order which conflict with, or purport to add to or modify, this Agreement and/or any quotation provided by Piiano.

1.7. "Permitted Capacity" means: (i) with respect to the On-premises Version, the permitted number (if any) of installations of the Product as set forth in the applicable Order; or (ii) with respect to the SaaS Version, the applicable use limitations set forth in the applicable Order.

1.8. "Product" means the Piiano software solution titled "Piiano Vault", made available to Licensee as either (i) a hosted, cloud-based service ("SaaS Version"); or (ii) a downloadable, on-premises version of the object code of Piiano's proprietary software ("On-premises Version"), and both in a free and an enterprise version ("Free Vault" and "Enterprise Vault", respectively), all as will be further detailed in the applicable Order, including any Documentation and Updates thereto (to the extent delivered).

1.9. "Updates" means, with respect to any element of the Product, a new version of such element that includes bug fixes and minor enhancements to the Product and which is made available at no additional cost by Piiano to its customers generally. For clarity, the term Update does not include new releases of the Product which are sold separately or include significant new functionality. 

2. License Grant.

2.1. Enterprise Vault License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and to Piiano's receipt of the Fees (if applicable) from Licensee, Piiano grants to Licensee and Licensee accepts from Piiano a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use or access the Enterprise Vault for Licensee's internal purposes only, during the Term, provided that the Product may only be installed, operated and/or accessed (as applicable to the licensed version), up to the applicable Permitted Capacity and subject to any written instructions by Piiano ("Enterprise License"). Piiano may choose, in its discretion, to offer Licensee a free trial of the Enterprise Vault (following such trial the continued use of the Enterprise Vault shall be subject to payment of the applicable Fees, as will be notified to Licensee).

2.2. Free Vault License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Term, Licensor hereby grants Licensee a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to use or access the Free Vault for Non-Production purposes only ("Free License", and together with the Enterprise License, the "License"). "Non-Production" means using the Product solely in development and testing environments, not for the purpose of serving intended users and, for the avoidance of doubt, this includes using the Product for any commercial advantage or purpose, any such use is restricted to the version of the product provided under the Free License. Licensee hereby agrees that under the Free License, (i) the Product is provided "As-Is" without any warranty (express or implied) whatsoever; (ii) no support will be provided by Licensor; and (iii) Licensor shall have no liability, under any theory of law, for any damages (direct, indirect, consequential, special or punitive under the Free License).

3. Support and Maintenance Services

Applicable only to the Enterprise Vault. Subject to Licensee’s payment of the Fees, Piiano shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide maintenance and support services to Licensee as will be further detailed in the Order.

4. Access to On-premises Version

Piiano has the right to remotely access the the On-premises Version of the Product at all reasonable times for the purposes of Updates, installation, inspection, maintenance, repair, debugging and removal ("Installation and Maintenance"). In such event, Piiano may access Licensee's production environment, upon coordination and Licensee's prior approval, for the purpose of providing Installation and Maintenance. Piiano cannot access and will not access Licensee’s data, unless authorized by the customer and with its supervision, as the vault is designed to avoid it.

5. Logs and Metrics

Licensee acknowledges and understands that Piiano may monitor Licensee’s general use of the Product including, but not limited to, metrics and logs, for the sole purpose of customer support and diagnostics, providing its Product and improving Piiano's Products and services.

Professional Services shall be charged in accordance with the fees and payment terms specified within the applicable SOW. Each SOW is hereby deemed incorporated into this Agreement by reference. To the extent of any conflict between the main body of this Agreement and a respective SOW, the former shall prevail, unless and to the extent that the SOW expressly states otherwise.

7. Reservation of Rights; Use Restrictions

Other than the rights explicitly granted in this Agreement, Licensee shall have no other rights, express, implied or otherwise, in or to the Product and/or any other Intellectual Property Rights of Piiano (or its licensors). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and unless otherwise permitted under this Agreement, Licensee agrees and undertakes not to (and shall ensure that its personnel do not): (i) sell, lease, sublicense or distribute the Product, or any part thereof, or otherwise transfer the Product or allow any third party to use the Product in any manner; (ii) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise reduce to human-perceivable form the Product’s source code; (iii) modify, revise, enhance or alter the Product; (iv) copy or allow unauthorized copies of the Product to be made; (v) use any backup or archival copies of the Product, or any part thereof, or allow any third party to use such copies, for any purpose other than to replace an original copy in the event of the destruction of the Product components, if the Product becomes defective; (vi) place the Product onto a server so that it is accessible via a public network; (vii) use the Product to provide third parties with managed services or any other services whether or not in return for remuneration of any kind; (viii) remove, deface, obscure or otherwise modify any copyright or other proprietary notices included on or in the Product; (ix) develop methods to enable unauthorized parties to use the Product, or to develop any other Product containing any of the concepts and ideas contained in the Product, (x) circumvent, disable or otherwise interfere with security-related or other features of the Product or features that prevent or restrict use or copying of any content or that enforce limitations on use of the Product, or (xi) transfer, use or export the Product for any unlawful or illegal purpose, or one that could associate Piiano with any improper or inappropriate purpose (including infringement or misappropriation of any third party intellectual property, privacy, or publicity right), and/or (xii) represent that it possesses any proprietary interest in the Product.

8. Open Source Licenses

The Product includes certain open source code software and materials (as may be listed in the documentation of the Product, as may be amended by Piiano from time to time) ("Open Source Software") that are subject to their respective open source licenses ("Open Source Licenses"). Such Open Source Licenses contain conditions with respect to warranty, copyright policy and other provisions. By executing this Agreement, Licensee undertakes to strictly comply with the terms and condition of the Open Source Licenses, as may be amended from time to time. The respective licenses or notices of such Open Source Software are available, in the On-premises Version, within the Product's notice file, and in the SaaS Version, in the Documentation, all as may be amended from time to time by Piiano, at its sole discretion. In the event of any inconsistencies or conflicting provisions between the provisions of the Open Source Licenses and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of the Open Source Licenses shall prevail but solely in connection with the related Open Source Software. Without derogating from the generality of the foregoing, it is clarified that any Open Source Software is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis, without indemnity, liability and/or warranty of any kind, whether express, implied or otherwise.

The Product and/or any copies thereof, including without limitation any derivative works made (regardless of whether such derivative works were permitted or not), as well as any Updates and any other additions or modifications thereto, whether or not provided to Licensee pursuant to this Agreement, and all Intellectual Property Rights therein and thereto, shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Piiano (or its licensors). All Intellectual Property Rights in or to the Product (including without limitation any Intellectual Property Rights evidenced by or embodied in and/or attached/connected/related to the Product) or part thereof, are and shall be owned solely and exclusively by Piiano (or its licensors). Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute an assignment and/or waiver of Piiano’s Intellectual Property Rights under any law, or be in any way construed or interpreted as such. 

9.2. Feedback. It is further agreed that to the extent Licensee provides Piiano with suggestions, comments or feedback (whether orally or in writing) with respect to the Product (the "Feedback"), Licensee acknowledges that any and all rights, including Intellectual Property Rights in such Feedback shall belong exclusively to Piiano and shall be considered Piiano’s Confidential Information and Licensee hereby irrevocably transfers and assigns to Piiano all Intellectual Property Rights in such Feedback and waives and vows never to assert any and all moral rights that Licensee may have in respect thereto. It is further understood that use of Feedback, if any, may be made by Piiano at its sole discretion, and that Piiano in no way shall be obliged to make use of any kind of the Feedback or part thereof.

To the extent that Piiano shall be required to pay any such taxes then such taxes shall be billed to and paid by Licensee. Licensee agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Piiano from all claims and liabilities arising from Licensee’s failure to report or pay any such taxes. If any taxes are required to be withheld, Licensee shall pay an amount to Piiano such that the net amount payable to Piiano after withholding of taxes shall equal the fees which would have been otherwise payable to Piiano under this Agreement.
