End User acknowledges and agrees that such third-party software is subject to various other terms and conditions imposed by the licensors of such third-party software. A list of third-party software licenses, and the applicable terms thereof, shall be provided with the Software. Such third-party software is provided “AS IS”, with no warranties of any kind. Any third-party software sublicense will terminate when this EULA terminates or when the Software is no longer being used by the End User. End User’s use of such third-party software is subject to, and governed by, the specified third-party license terms, except that this Section 6.2 (Third-Party Software) and Section 10 (Limitation of Liability) of this EULA also govern End User’s use of the third-party software. End User acknowledges that all third-party licensors and suppliers in respect of the Software retain all rights, title and interest in their respective software products.

License Fees
7.1 General. End User understands and agrees that, if and to the extent the use of the Software is made available as a result of End User’s business relationship with Reseller, End User shall pay Reseller the License Fees and any other amounts owing for the use of the Software (including, but not limited to, related Maintenance and Support Fees), as the case may be, plus any applicable sales, use, excise, or other taxes, as specified by the Reseller’s terms and conditions of sales. When purchasing the licensed rights directly from Acquire, the End User shall pay the aforementioned fees and amounts directly to Acquire.
All fees payable to Reseller and/or Acquire, as the case may be, are due and payable pursuant to the terms stipulated in the Order Form. Failure to pay the License Fees and/or other amounts owing for the use of the Software (plus any applicable taxes) may result in termination of the License and related Maintenance and Support Services.
7.2 Payments for Subscription Licenses. If licensed under a Subscription License, End User agrees to pay the initial, and, thereafter, the recurring fees for the Subscription License (the “Subscription License Fees”) as described in the original Order Form and based upon the rates and amounts set forth in the original Order Form (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 7.3).
Maintenance and Support Fees are included in the Subscription License Fees. End User also agrees to pay any other fees or charges listed on an Order Form for additional professional services or other services (collectively, the “Other Fees”) separately and upfront, in addition to the Subscription License Fees.
7.3 Price Amendments. Reseller may amend the Subscription License Fees and/or the Other Fees, provided that such revised or amended Fees shall only become applicable after the termination of the then current license or maintenance term (i.e. the revised or amended License Fees shall apply to the Subsequent License Term only). Any additional licenses bought by End User shall be provided at the then current License Fees (as may be amended from time to time).
7.4 Reseller Payments. If and to the extent the use of the Software is made available as a result of End User’s business relationship with Reseller, Acquire acknowledges that End User shall pay all fees under this EULA directly to Reseller and hereby consents to that arrangement.
Maintenance and Support Services
8.1 General. Subject to (i) the payment of the relevant Maintenance and Support Fees by End User, and (ii) the use by such End User of the current Version or immediately previous Version of the Software, the End User shall receive Maintenance and Support Services directly from Acquire.
8.2 Subscription License. Each Subscription License shall include the right to receive Maintenance and Support Services. Maintenance and Support Services may not be separated from the Subscription License and may not be terminated without also terminating the Subscription License.
8.3 Price Amendments. At least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of any Maintenance Period, Reseller or Acquire (as the case may be) may provide notice to End User of the amended Maintenance and Support Fees for the upcoming Maintenance Period. Thereafter, with respect to all Authorized Users under license, End User may elect to (i) renew Maintenance and Support Services at the amended fee rates, or (ii) elect not to renew Maintenance and Support Services. If no written notice is provided to Reseller or Acquire, as the case may be, prior to the expiration of any Maintenance Period, there shall be an automatic renewal of Maintenance and Support Services at Reseller’s or Acquire’s revised Maintenance and Support Fees.
8.4 Software Maintenance. Subject to the payment of the relevant Maintenance and Support Fees, Acquire shall provide End User, from time to time, with Updates (including periodic distribution of bug fixes, maintenance releases and minor enhancements) as scheduled by Acquire in its sole discretion. End User may refuse to accept an Update.
The Maintenance and Support Services shall be exclusive of any Upgrades to the Software. In order for End User to receive and use such Upgrade, End User must (i) pay the applicable License Fees for that Upgrade; (ii) to the extent not included in such applicable License Fees, pay the applicable Maintenance and Support Fees for the then current Maintenance Period. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the terms of this EULA shall apply and the Upgrade shall be deemed Licensed Software upon payment by End User of the applicable License Fees.
8.5 Support Services. Upon each new release (regardless whether such release constitutes an Upgrade or an Update), Acquire shall maintain only the Version of the Product that has been thus revised and the previous Version. End User shall be eligible for such Maintenance and Support Services only if and to the extent (i) End User has duly paid the applicable Maintenance and Support Fees; and (ii) End User is using the current or previous Version of the Software.
8.6 End of Support Notice. End User shall receive an “end of support” notice not later than eight (8) days prior to the effective date at which the Software is updated to as new Version, informing End User that as from such date, the version preceding the then-current Version shall no longer be supported, thus terminating such End User’s right to Support and Maintenance Services. End User shall not be entitled to any refunds of Maintenance and Support Fees.
8.7 Response to Inquiries. Subject to End User’s payment of the applicable Maintenance and Support Fees, (i) End User’s installation support inquiries by telephone will be accepted by Reseller (or Acquire, as the case may be) during normal business hours; and (ii) End User’s technical support email inquiries are accepted at any time and will be answered during normal business hours. Reseller (or Acquire, as the case may be) will attempt to respond to inquiries within the same business day.
Warranties

Acquire warrants that the Software will perform substantially in accordance with the applicable part of the Documentation for a period of the earlier of: (a) one (1) year from the date of delivery of the Software to a Reseller (if applicable); or (b) sixty (60) days following the date on which the Software is delivered to End User or otherwise made available to End User for download (the “Warranty Period”) when maintained and operated in accordance with the License and the Documentation (“Software Warranty”).
THE SOFTWARE WARRANTY WILL NOT APPLY IF ANY FAILURE, ERROR, DEFECT OR MALFUNCTION RESULTS FROM ANY MISUSE OF THE SOFTWARE OR IS OTHERWISE NOT ATTRIBUTABLE TO ACQUIRE. ACQUIRE MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY (I) THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL MEET END USER’S REQUIREMENTS, (II) THAT ALL ERRORS, DEFECTS, OR MALFUNCTIONS HAVE BEEN OR CAN BE ELIMINATED FROM THE SOFTWARE, (III) THAT THE SOFTWARE IS FREE OF ERRORS, DEFECTS, VIRUSES OR MALFUNCTIONS, OR THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION, OR (IV) THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL OPERATE WITH OTHER HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, SYSTEMS OR DATA, AND RESELLER SHALL IN NO EVENT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSSES OF ANY KIND RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THE SOFTWARE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LIABILITY FOR BUSINESS EXPENSE, MACHINE DOWNTIME, LOSS OF OR CORRUPTION TO DATA, OR DAMAGES CAUSED TO END USER OR THIRD PARTIES BY ANY DEFICIENCY, DEFECT, ERROR OR MALFUNCTION. THE SOFTWARE WARRANTY APPLIES ONLY TO THE ORIGINAL END USER AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY THIRD PARTY OR ASSIGNEE OF END USER.
If End User fails to pay when due any payment required from End User to Reseller or Acquire under this EULA or otherwise, the Software Warranty and the related remedies of End User will automatically become null and void and of no further force or effect. End User must notify Acquire by email or through other contact mechanisms provided by Acquire of any breach of the Software Warranty within the Warranty Period.
9.2 Remedies. Subject to the limitations set forth in the subsequent Section 10 (Limitation of Liability), End User’s exclusive remedy, and Acquire’s entire liability, arising from any breach of the Software Warranty shall be, at Acquire’s option and at no cost to End User, for Acquire to (i) make commercially reasonable efforts to correct or provide a reasonable Workaround for the failure, error, defect or malfunction that caused the breach of the Software Warranty, or (ii) replace the (defective part of the) Software. If any breach of Software Warranty claim by End User falls within any of the exceptions listed above in the first paragraph of the present Section “Warranties”, End User shall upon Acquire’s request pay Acquire for such assistance and services provided by Acquire in respect thereof on a time and material basis at Acquire’s then current professional services rates and related expenses.
9.3 Disclaimer. THE SOFTWARE WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ACQUIRE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, PURPOSE, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, ACCURACY, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT AND ANY WARRANTIES THAT MAY ARISE OUT OF COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. USE OF THE SOFTWARE BY END USER IS AT END USER’S SOLE RISK.
Limitation of Liability
10.1 Exclusion of indirect damages.

For the avoidance of doubt, the types of loss and/or damage specified in (i) through (vii) shall not constitute direct losses for the purposes of this EULA. The foregoing limitation will apply even if Acquire has been advised of the possibility of such damages or if such damages are foreseeable.
10.2 Cap on Other Damages. Notwithstanding any other provision of this EULA, and to the fullest extent allowed under Applicable Law, Acquire’s aggregate liability of all kinds towards End User for any damages arising from or related to the Software, the Documentation or this EULA, other than as set out under 10.1 above, whether for breach, infringement, in tort, indemnification or otherwise, shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to either (i) the license fees in respect of the Software only (excluding any taxes) actually received by Reseller or Acquire for End User’s use of the Software during the six (6) month period preceding End User’s initial notice to Acquire of any claim or potential claim hereunder; or (ii) 50,000 USD, whichever amount is lower. The existence of one or more claims under this EULA shall not enlarge the limit.
10.3 Employees and Agents. The limitations and exclusions of liability, as well as indemnity stipulated for Acquire itself in the present EULA are also stipulated for and on behalf of Acquire’s directors, employees, agents and other intermediaries and/or any other person employed by it or delivering services to it within the framework of the EULA.
10.4 Limitation in Time. End User may not bring a claim under this EULA more than twelve (12) months after the cause of action arises.
Intellectual Property Infringement
In the event of a claim that the Software and/or Documentation, or End User’s permitted use thereof under this EULA, infringes a third party’s intellectual property, proprietary or other right, or Acquire’s belief that such claim is likely to arise, Acquire shall have the right, at its sole option and expense: to (a) procure for End User the right to continue using the affected Software and/or Documentation; (b) replace or modify the affected (part of the) Software and/or Documentation so that it does not infringe; or (c) terminate this EULA. If Acquire so terminates this EULA, as End User’s sole remedy and Acquire’s entire liability, Acquire will pay to End User, upon End User’s certified deletion of the affected Software, an amount equal to the License Fees paid hereunder for the License in respect of the affected Software, prorated from the Delivery Date, based on a straight line depreciation, through the date the License is terminated over the original term of the License.
Term and Termination
12.1 Term. The term of this EULA shall commence on the Delivery Date, and will remain effective during the Initial License Term and Subsequent License Term, it being understood that a Subscription License shall be automatically renewed at the end of the Initial License Term or each Subsequent License Term, each time for a Subsequent License Term, unless explicitly terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.
12.2 Termination upon Notice. A Subscription License can be terminated at the end of the relevant Initial License Term or at any time during a Subsequent License Term upon giving a two (2) months prior written notice by registered mail to Acquire (or, if terminated by Acquire, to the relevant End User), starting on the first day of the month following the date of delivery of such termination notice.
12.3 Termination for Cause. Without prejudice to either party’s other rights accorded to it by this EULA (including but not limited to the termination rights under Section 2.2) or by law, either party can terminate this EULA with immediate effect by written notice to the other party, if any of the following events occur: (i) the other party breaches this EULA and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of the receipt of written notice of such breach from the non-breaching party; (ii) the other party breaches this EULA, and such breach is not curable (a breach of the License terms by End User shall be deemed a breach which is not curable); (iii) the other party makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, files a voluntary petition of bankruptcy, becomes subject to any proceedings under any bankruptcy or insolvency law (whether domestic or foreign), has wound up or liquidated, voluntarily or otherwise; (iv) the other party becomes insolvent or ceases or threatens to cease to carry on its business in the normal course; (v) the other party suffers or permits the appointment of a receiver for its business or assets; or (vi) any other event analogous to those listed under (iii) through (v) occurs in the jurisdiction applicable to the party affected. The affected party shall promptly notify the other party in the event of the occurrence of any of the foregoing instances as per (iii) through (v). Termination by either Party pursuant to this Section 12.3 shall not entitle the other Party to any refund of any prepaid License Fees or Other Fees.
12.4 Effect of Termination. If the term of this EULA expires or is terminated for any reason whatsoever, the License shall automatically terminate as set forth above and End User shall: (i) immediately cease using the Software and the Documentation; (ii) have an End User senior officer certify to Reseller within thirty (30) days after the effective date of termination that End User has permanently deleted, destroyed, or, at Acquire’s option, has returned to Acquire the Documentation and all copies thereof. Neither party shall be liable to the other for damages of any kind solely as a result of terminating this EULA in accordance with this Section 12. Either party’s termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to any other right or remedy that it may have at law or in equity, and shall not relieve either party of breaches occurring prior to the effective date of such termination.
Verification
13.1 During the term of this EULA and for a period of three (3) years from the expiration or termination thereof, End User shall maintain accurate records of its use of the Software sufficient to demonstrate its compliance with the terms of this EULA and all Order Forms.
13.2 Upon ten (10) days’ notice to End User, Acquire and/or Reseller shall have the right to (or to have a third party) inspect and audit such End User’s records and its systems to confirm End User’s compliance with the provisions of this EULA. End User agrees to fully cooperate with any such inspection and audit and shall provide all access to such records and its systems as reasonable required for Acquire and/or Reseller to confirm End User’s compliance with the terms hereof.
13.3 In the event that the audit reveals unauthorized use of the Software, or use beyond the scope of the usage limitations and restrictions applicable to the Software, then, without prejudice to Acquire’s other rights (including termination of the License), End User shall promptly pay the relevant License Fees. End User agrees that all unlicensed use of the Software shall be presumed to have started on the first day on which the Software was made available to End User (through key download, delivery or otherwise), unless End User proves otherwise to the satisfaction of Acquire.
If the audit determines that End User underpaid the License Fees by more than five percent (5%), End User shall pay Acquire’s reasonable costs and expenses for the audit (including transportation, travel, and if applicable the cost of the third party auditor).
13.4 This Section 13 shall survive the termination of this EULA for any reason, and shall stay effective until three (3) years after the termination of this EULA.

14.3 This Section 14 shall survive the termination of this EULA for any reason, and shall stay effective until three (3) years after the termination of this EULA.
Privacy and Data Collection
15.1 The End User shall own all right, title and interest in and to all of the End User Data. As used herein, “End User Data” means the data processed by Acquire on the End User’s behalf to facilitate the End User’s (including its Authorized Users) use of the Software.
15.2 In the event of any loss or damage to End User Data, to the extent required to be stored by Acquire in connection with End User’s use of the Software, the End User’s sole and exclusive remedy against Acquire shall be for Acquire to use commercially reasonable efforts to restore the lost or damaged End User Data. Acquire shall not be responsible for any loss, destruction, alteration or disclosure of End User Data caused by any third party. If any loss or damage to End User Data is caused by the End User or any of its employees, agents or contractors then Acquire may charge the End User for the reasonable costs of restoring the End User Data, such costs to be agreed between Acquire and the End User in advance.
