Order of Support Services may be done in a separate Purchase Order and subject to the agreed fees for such services set forth therein.
2. Use Restrictions. The Solution shall be accessed and used in accordance with its intended purpose. Except as expressly and unambiguously permitted by this Agreement, without Redefine's prior written consent, the Customer may not, nor permit anyone else to, directly or indirectly: (i) grant access under its credentials or transfer Customer's rights under this Agreement to a third party, (ii) copy, reproduce, create a derivative work or modify any part of the Solution, including by means of incorporating them into or with any other product or program, (iii) disclose, publish or otherwise make publicly available the results of any benchmarking of the Solution, or use such results for competing software development activities; (iv) use or permit the Solution to be used to perform services for third parties, whether on a service bureau or time sharing basis or otherwise, (v) attempt to decipher, decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer or reverse compile all or any portion of the Solution (vi) use or launch any automated system (including without limitation, “robots”, “scrapers” and “spiders”) to access the Solution, including without limitation in order to extract for re-utilization of any parts of the Solution, or perform any act that destabilizes, interrupts or encumbers the Solution or its servers or use automatic means that enable sending more request messages to the servers of the Solution, in a given period of time, than is reasonable in that time period, (vii) use or encourage, promote, facilitate or instruct others to use the Solution for any unlawful, harmful, irresponsible, prohibited by this Agreement, or inappropriate purpose; and/or (viii) sell, license (or sub-license), lease, assign, transfer, pledge, or share Customer’s credentials with or to any third party. Any right not explicitly granted to Customer under this Agreement is reserved to Redefine or its licensors. The Customer agrees to access the Solution in a manner that complies with all applicable laws in the jurisdiction in which Customer accesses the Solution, including, but not limited to, applicable restrictions concerning copyright and other Intellectual Property Rights and with Redefine’s license metrics and work environment conditions. Redefine does not provide back-up, archive or recovery services. Customer is solely responsible for maintaining adequate backups, recovery and archive in respect of any data in connection with Customer’s use of the Solution.
3. Third Party Components. The Solution may include third party components that are subject to open source and/or pass-through commercial licenses and/or notices (such third party programs, “Third Party Components” and “Third Party Terms and Notices”, respectively). Some of the Third Party Terms and Notices may be made available to Customer in the Solution, its Documentation or via a supplementary list provided by Redefine. Any covenants, representations, warranties, indemnities and other commitments with respect to the Solution in this Agreement are made by Redefine and not by any authors, licensors, or suppliers of, or contributors to, such Third Party Components. Any use of Third Party Components is subject solely to the rights and obligations under the applicable Third Party Terms and Notices. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Redefine does not make any representation, warranty, guarantee, or condition, and does not undertake any liability or obligation, with respect to any Third Party Components.
4. Consideration and Fees
4.1. Service Fees. In consideration for the Services, Customer will pay the fees stated in the applicable Purchase Order according to the payment terms stated therein (“Fees”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company shall be entitled to use internal tools to track Customer’s consumption rates exceeding those minimum consumption metrics (the “Base Subscription”) set forth under the Purchase Order, and charge Customer additional fees to account for any access of instances from its Base Subscription as shall be calculated on pro-rated basis and applied on the subsequent invoice.
Unless otherwise specified in the Purchase Order, all payments are due thirty (30) days from receipt of each invoice and are non-refundable and non-cancellable (NC/NR). Any amount not paid when due will accrue interest on a daily basis until paid in full, at the lesser of: (a) the rate of one and a half percent (1.5%) per month; and (b) the highest amount permitted by applicable law.
4.2. Taxes. Amounts payable under this Agreement are exclusive of all applicable sales, use, consumption, VAT, and other taxes, duties or governmental charges, except for taxes based upon Redefine's net income. In the event that Customer is required by applicable law to withhold or deduct taxes imposed upon Customer for any payment under this Agreement, then the amounts due to Redefine will be increased by the amount necessary so that Redefine receives and retains, free from liability for any deduction or withholding, an amount equal to the sum it would have received had Customer not made any such withholding or deduction.
- Confidentiality. Customer may have access to certain non-public or proprietary information or materials of Redefine whether in tangible or intangible form (“Confidential Information”). Without derogating from the foregoing, the Solution and terms of the Purchase Order shall be deemed as Confidential Information.

Customer shall take measures at a level at least as protective as those taken to protect its own confidential information of like nature (but in no event less than a reasonable level) to protect the Confidential Information. Customer will promptly notify Redefine in writing in the event of any actual or suspected unauthorized use or disclosure of any Confidential Information.
- Ownership. Redefine is, and shall remain, the sole and exclusive owner of all Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Solution and all its copies (as well as any modifications, improvements or derivatives thereto), the Support Services provided as per Section 2.2 above, and any other products or services provided by Redefine (hereinafter, “Redefine IPR”). Redefine reserves all rights not expressly granted herein and except for the limited rights granted pursuant to this Agreement, Customer is granted no other right or license in or to any Redefine IPR. Customer undertakes not to contest Redefine’s ownership in the Redefine IPR.

THE SOLUTION AND ANY SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, AND ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR QUALITY OF SERVICE, OR THAT OTHERWISE ARISE FROM A COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR USAGE) ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED. REDEFINE DOES NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, GUARANTEE OR CONDITION REGARDING THE EFFECTIVENESS, USEFULNESS, RELIABILITY, COMPLETENESS, OR QUALITY OF THE SOLUTION, OR THAT USE OF THE SOLUTION WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE OR ERROR-FREE OR THAT ERRORS/BUGS ARE REPRODUCIBLE OR THAT ERRORS/BUGS ARE REPAIRABLE.

IN NO EVENT WILL REDEFINE, ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, PARTNERS, DISTRIBUTORS OR ANY OF THEIR LICENSORS AND SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE UNDER, OR OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT, THE SOLUTION OR OTHERWISE WHETHER UNDER CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR: (A) ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; (B) ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS, ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, OR DATA AND/OR DAMAGE TO OR LOSS OF DATA, SECURITY BREACH OR REPUTATION DAMAGE OR HARM TO GOODWILL; AND/OR (C) THE COST OF PROCURING ANY SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES.

REDEFINE’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY AND CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IN RESPECT OF ANY MAINTENANCE OR SUPPORT ISSUE SHALL BE LIMITED TO RE-PERFORMANCE AND PROVISION OF SUPPORT SERVICES.
THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY WILL APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AND: (A) EVEN IF A PARTY OR AN AFFILIATE, DISTRIBITOR OR SUPPLIER OF REDEFINE HAS BEEN ADVISED, OR SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE, OF THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSSES, DAMAGES, OR COSTS; (B) EVEN IF ANY REMEDY IN THIS AGREEMENT FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE; AND (C) REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY).
- Indemnification
9.1. Indemnification Obligation. Redefine will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Customer against any third party demand, claim, suit, or action alleging that Customer's use of the Solution in accordance with this Agreement infringes such third party’s Intellectual Property Rights (an “Infringement Claim”), and Redefine will pay any amounts finally awarded by a competent court against Customer (or otherwise agreed in settlement) under such Infringement Claim. Redefine will have no obligation or liability under this Section 10.1 to the extent that the Infringement Claim is based upon or results from: (a) the combination or use of the Solution with any third party products or services if the claim would not have occurred if not for such combination or use; (b) any modification to the Solution not made by Redefine; (c) Customer’s failure to comply with the written instructions of Redefine and/or with the terms of this Agreement or the Documentation; (d) where Customer continues the alleged infringing activity after being notified thereof; (e) use or retention of a copy of the Solution not in its most current version provided by Redefine; and/or (f) Redefine’s compliance with any Customer instructions or requirements.
9.2. Remediation. Should the Solution (in whole or in part) become, or in Redefine’s opinion be likely to become, the subject of any Infringement Claim, then Customer permits Redefine, at Redefine’s option, either to: (a) obtain for Customer the right to continue using the Solution (or part thereof); or (b) replace or modify the Solution (or part thereof) so that it becomes non-infringing; provided, however, that if, in Redefine’s opinion, the remedies in clauses (a) and (b) above are not commercially feasible, Redefine may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to Customer and provide Customer with a pro-rata refund of any prepaid (but unutilized) Fees based on the remaining subscription term.
9.3. Procedure. Customer’s obligation and liability under this Section 10 is subject to the conditions that: (a) Customer has promptly notified Redefine in writing of the Infringement Claim (as used in this subsection, “Claim”), provided that a delay or failure to provide such notice will not relieve the Redefine of its obligation or liability under this Section 10, except to the extent that such delay or failure materially prejudices its ability to defend the claim; (b) Customer shall reasonably cooperates with the Redefine and permits the Redefine to assume sole control of the defense of the Claim and all negotiations for any settlement thereof, provided that Redefine will not be required to cede control of any claim it may have to the extent that it impacts any Redefine Intellectual Property Right or goodwill, and the Customer will not enter into any settlement of a Claim without the Redefine’s prior express written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and (c) the Customer refrains from admitting any liability or otherwise compromising the defense of the Claim (in whole or in part), without the prior express written consent of the Redefine.
9.4. Entire Liability. This Section 10 states Redefine’s sole and exclusive obligation and liability, and Customer’s sole remedy, with respect to any Infringement Claim.
