2. SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS. Your subscription for Subscription SOFTWARE shall begin on the date the Licenses Keys are delivered and shall expire at the end of the subscription term (the 'Subscription Term'), if not renewed through the purchase of annual renewals. You may transfer valid Subscription Software and, in so doing, will use Best Efforts to notify OSNEXUS Support. During the initial or a renewal Subscription Term, OSNEXUS may, from time to time, generally make Updates available for licensing to the public. Upon general availability of Updates during the Subscription Term, OSNEXUS shall provide you with Updates for covered Subscriptions. Any such Updates so delivered to you shall be considered SOFTWARE under the terms of this AGREEMENT, except they are not covered by the Limited Warranty applicable to SOFTWARE, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Subscription renewals may be purchased for the SOFTWARE until it is no longer offered in accordance with the OSNEXUS PRODUCT Support Lifecycle Policy posted at www.osnexus.com. You acknowledge that OSNEXUS may develop and market new or different computer programs or editions of the SOFTWARE that use portions of the SOFTWARE and that perform all or part of the functions performed by the SOFTWARE. Nothing contained in this AGREEMENT shall give you any rights with respect to such new or different computer programs or editions. You also acknowledge that OSNEXUS is not obligated under this AGREEMENT to make any Updates available to the public. Any deliveries of Updates shall be Ex-works OSNEXUS (Incoterms 2000).

3. UPGRADE RIGHTS. Your purchase of Subscription SOFTWARE allows you to perform MAJOR REV UPGRADES and MINOR REV UPGRADES per Licensed Server, provided SOFTWARE remains under a valid Subscription period. A MAJOR REV UPGRADE is defined as improvements to SOFTWARE such that its version number increases by a whole digit, e.g. ‘v2.xx’ to ‘v.3.xx’. A MINOR REV UPGRADE is defined as improvements to SOFTWARE such that its version number increases as a subset of a whole digit, e.g. ‘v3.10’ to ‘v3.11”.3.

4. SUPPORT. SUPPORT is co-terminous with Subscription SOFTWARE term and includes various combinations of Incidents, technical contacts, coverage hours, geographic coverage areas, technical relationship management coverage, and infrastructure assessment options. An 'Incident' is defined as a single SUPPORT issue and reasonable effort(s) needed to resolve it. An Incident may require multiple telephone calls and offline research to achieve final resolution. The Incident severity will determine the response levels for the SOFTWARE. Unused Incidents, where applicable, expire at the end of each annual term. SUPPORT will be provided remotely from OSNEXUS to your locations. Where on- site visits are mutually agreed, you will be billed for reasonable travel and living expenses in accordance with your travel policy. OSNEXUS performance is predicated upon the following responsibilities being fulfilled by you:

  • i. you will designate a Customer Support Manager ('CSM') who will be the primary administrative contact;
  • ii. you will designate Named Contacts (including a CSM), preferably each OSNEXUS certified, and each Named Contact (excluding CSM) will be supplied with an individual service ID number for contacting SUPPORT;
  • iii. you agree to perform reasonable problem determination activities and to perform reasonable problem resolution activities as suggested by OSNEXUS. You agree to cooperate with such requests;
  • iv. you are responsible for implementing procedures necessary to safeguard the integrity and security of SOFTWARE and data from unauthorized access and for reconstructing any lost or altered files resulting from catastrophic failures;
  • v. you are responsible for procuring, installing, and maintaining all equipment, telephone lines, communications interfaces, and other hardware at your site and providing OSNEXUS with access to your facilities as required to operate the SOFTWARE and permitting OSNEXUS to perform the service called for by this AGREEMENT; and
  • vi. you are required to implement all currently available and applicable hotfixes, hotfix rollup packs, and service packs or their equivalent to the SOFTWARE in a timely manner.

OSNEXUS is not required to provide any SUPPORT relating to problems arising out of:

  • i. your customization to the operating system or environment that adversely affects the SOFTWARE;
  • ii. any alterations of or additions to the SOFTWARE performed by parties other than OSNEXUS;
  • iii. use of the SOFTWARE on a processor and peripherals other than the processor and peripherals for which such SOFTWARE was designed and licensed for use on; or
  • iv. SOFTWARE that has reached End-of-Life.

In situations where OSNEXUS cannot provide a satisfactory resolution to your critical problem through normal SUPPORT methods, OSNEXUS may engage its product development team to create a private fix. Private fixes are designed to address your specific situation and may not be distributed by you outside your organization without written consent from OSNEXUS. OSNEXUS retains all right, title, and interest in and to all private fixes. Any hotfixes or private fixes are not SOFTWARE under the terms of this AGREEMENT and they are not covered by the Limited Warranty or Infringement Indemnification applicable to SOFTWARE, to the extent permitted by applicable law. With respect to infrastructure assessments or other consulting services, all intellectual property rights in all reports, preexisting works and derivative works of such preexisting works, as well as installation scripts and other deliverables and developments made, conceived, created, discovered, invented, or reduced to practice in the performance of the assessment are and shall remain the sole and absolute property of OSNEXUS, subject to a worldwide, nonexclusive License to you for internal use.

5. DESCRIPTION OF OTHER RIGHTS, LIMITATIONS, AND OBLIGATIONS. Unless expressly permitted by applicable law, you may not transfer, rent, timeshare or lease the SOFTWARE. If you purchased Subscriptions for the SOFTWARE to replace other OSNEXUS Subscriptions for other OSNEXUS SOFTWARE and such replacement is a condition of the transaction, you agree to destroy those other OSNEXUS Licenses and retain no copies after installation of the new Licenses and SOFTWARE. You shall provide the serial numbers of such replaced Licenses and corresponding replacement Licenses to the reseller, and upon request, directly to OSNEXUS for license tracking purposes. Except as specifically licensed herein, you may not modify, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, create derivative works based on, or copy (except for backup as permitted above) the SOFTWARE, except to the extent such foregoing restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law. You may not remove any proprietary notices, labels, or marks on any SOFTWARE. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to allow OSNEXUS to audit your compliance with the terms of this AGREEMENT upon prior written notice during normal business hours. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this AGREEMENT shall not prevent or restrict you from exercising additional or different rights to any free, open source code, documentation and materials contained in or provided with the SOFTWARE in accordance with the applicable free, open source license for such code, documentation, and materials. YOU MAY NOT USE, COPY, MODIFY, OR TRANSFER THE SOFTWARE OR ANY COPY IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OR GRANT ANY RIGHTS IN THE SOFTWARE OR ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTATION, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT. ALL RIGHTS NOT EXPRESSLY GRANTED ARE RESERVED BY OSNEXUS OR ITS SUPPLIERS. You hereby agree, that to the extent that any applicable mandatory laws (such as, for example, national laws implementing EC Directive 91/250 on the Legal Protection of Computer Programs) give you the right to perform any of the aforementioned activities without the consent of OSNEXUS to gain certain information about the SOFTWARE, before you exercise any such rights, you shall first request such information from OSNEXUS in writing detailing the purpose for which you need the information. Only if and after OSNEXUS, at its sole discretion, partly or completely denies your request, shall you exercise your statutory rights.

6. INFRINGEMENT INDEMNIFICATION. OSNEXUS shall indemnify and defend, or at its option, settle any claim, suit, or proceeding brought against you based on an allegation that the SOFTWARE (excluding Open Source Software and QuantaStor, Community Edition) infringes upon any patent or copyright of any third party ('Infringement Claim'), provided you promptly notify OSNEXUS in writing of your notification or discovery of an Infringement Claim such that OSNEXUS is not prejudiced by any delay in such notification. For purposes of this Section 5, 'Open Source Software' means software distributed by OSNEXUS under an open source licensing model (that is, the GNU General Public License or a license similar to those approved by the Open Source Initiative). OSNEXUS will have sole control over the defense or settlement of any Infringement Claim and you will provide reasonable assistance in the defense of the same. Following notice of an Infringement Claim or if OSNEXUS believes such a claim is likely, OSNEXUS may at its sole expense and option:

  • i. procure for you the right to continue to use the alleged infringing SOFTWARE;
  • ii. replace or modify the SOFTWARE to make it non-infringing; or
  • iii. accept return of the SOFTWARE and provide you with a refund as appropriate. OSNEXUS assumes no liability for any Infringement Claims or allegations of infringement based on:
