RING Licensing agreements

End User License Agreement (EULA)

Effective starting: January 16th, 2025

SOFTWARE LICENSE

All software (Software) identified in an order form (Order), which may be provided in paper or via electronic means, that is executed by either (a) an authorized distributor (Distributor) on behalf of Scality (Licensor), or by Licensor, and (b) the party who is entitled to use the software (Licensee) are licensed (and not sold) in accordance with the Order and this EULA. Distributors must be authorized by Licensor to distribute the Software for this License to be valid. This EULA is incorporated by reference into each Order. An Order may establish prices and volume/metrics of licensed Software but may not modify this EULA unless the Order expressly states that the Order terms supersede this EULA, and such provision is separately signed by Licensor. Licensor owns and retains the exclusive right, title and interest, including intellectual property rights, in the Software and Software documentation and all Software and Software documentation and copies made thereof are licensed, not sold.

LICENSE TYPES

The Software may be licensed as a Free License, Hardware License, Perpetual License, or as a Term License. A Free License is subject to the special terms and conditions in the section “FREE LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS” below. A Hardware License means a license to the Software that is tied to a given hardware device for the usable storage capacity (as defined below) of the device measured in terabytes as specified on an Order and licensed for use on that device for the life of that device. A Perpetual License means a perpetual license to use a particular version of the Software for a specified usable storage capacity (HDD and SSD) measured in terabytes as specified on an Order. A Perpetual License does not terminate (unless Licensee breaches this EULA, any Order or any other agreement with Licensor) and is not tied to a specific hardware device, however, unless Licensee also purchase maintenance and support, does not include updates or upgrades to the Software after the end of any paid-up maintenance and support period. A Term License means a fee based license to use the Software for a specific period of time or for a specific usable storage capacity, or both, as set forth on the Order. In this EULA, the term “Commercial License” means a Hardware License, Perpetual License or a Term License.

LICENSE TERMS

Unless Licensee breaches this EULA or the Order and Licensor terminates this EULA and/or an Order, Licensor grants Licensee a worldwide, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable:
For a Hardware License: perpetual license to use the object code version of the Software on the designated hardware in the Order, for up to the usable storage capacity specified on the Order, at the location(s) set forth on the Order.
For a Term License: during the period of time set forth on an Order, license to use the object code version of the Software for up to the usable storage capacity identified on the Order Form (if the Order fails to specify a specific amount of storage the storage limit shall be one terabyte) at the location(s) set forth on the Order.
Licensee is also licensed to use and make internal copies of all Software documentation provided by Licensor solely in connection with the use of the Software as authorized above. Licensee may make internal copies of the Software solely for backup and restoration purposes but may not use such copies of the Software for live or production use, or any direct or indirect use of the Software which is in live or production use or serving its final or intended or revenue generating purpose (Production Use).
“usable storage capacity” is calculated by dividing total raw capacity used for storing data (which the total capacity of disks used to store data) by the data protection overhead ratio required to protect data on such hardware per the attached formula:
Usable storage capacity = (raw storage used to store data) / (data protection overhead ratio).
For example, for a storage with 120 disks of 20TB and ARC 9+3 :
– raw capacity is 120*20=2400TB
– data protection overhead = 12/9 = 1.33
– usable storage capacity = 2400/1.33 = 1800TB

Licensee may only use the Software on operating systems listed on the Licensor website at www.scality.com as compatible with the Software.

FREE LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Licensor may grant the right to use the Software without a fee for defined amount of usable storage capacity as defined above (the “Free Tier”). Any Free Tier will be set forth on Licensor’s website. The amount of usable storage capacity in a Free Tier may be used on only one hardware or virtual instance and may not be spread across multiple hardware or virtual instances. Licensor may change the amount of usable storage capacity for the Free Tier at any time, including terminating the Free Tier completely. While Licensee may use the Free Tier in regular production, Licensee acknowledges Licensor’s right to change or terminate the Free Tier program. If Licensor makes a change to the Free Tier, any fees and charges for use of the Software shall only accrue for the time period after the date Licensor makes the change and publishes such modification on its website. Licensor may at any time request a Licensee using the Free Tier to confirm that their usable storage capacity is at or below the then current Free Tier level, and/or to confirm their total usable storage capacity over a span of dates. Licensee shall promptly and accurately confirm its usable storage capacity for such periods requested, and if Licensor has enabled such functionality in the Software, promptly provide Licensor with any usable storage capacity reports enabled in the Software.

THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE

Licensor may distribute software owned by third parties (Third Party Software) with the Software. Third Party Software may be subject to other license terms. To the extent Licensor has the right to distribute such Third Party Software, Licensor grants Licensee all of the rights the Licensor has to Third Party Software for use in connection with the Software. Third Party Software that is not embedded into the executable Software image provided by Licensor is not “Software” in this EULA.

LIMITATIONS

Except to the extent expressly licensed as provided in this EULA and an Order, Licensee may not directly, or indirectly through another, reproduce, modify, translate or otherwise create derivative works from, rent, lease, loan or otherwise distribute, copy, decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer or attempt to reconstruct, identify or discover any source code, underlying ideas, processes or algorithms by any legal or technical means whatsoever, in respect of all or any part of the Software, Software documentation or Licensor’s Confidential Information (defined below). Licensor reserves all rights to the Software, Software documentation and Licensor Confidential Information not expressly granted herein or in an Order.

OTHER RESTRICTIONS

Unless otherwise stated in an Order or approved by Licensor in writing, Licensee may not directly or indirectly through or with another: (i) move the Software to a location other than the location set forth on the initial Order; (ii) publish or disclose any features, functionalities, attributes, results of any test or benchmarking or comparative study of, the Software or documentation or use such results or information for any software development activity; (iii) remove any product identification, proprietary, copyright or other notices contained in the Software or documentation; or (iv) use the Software on any hardware or systems environment other than those listed on the Licensor website at www.scality.com as compatible with the Software.

UPDATES AND UPGRADES

Software includes patches, updates, improvements, additions, enhancements and other modifications that may subsequently be made available to Licensee to the extent provided in an applicable Order for maintenance and support services for Commercial Licenses. Licensor makes no commitment to update, upgrade or provide support for Free Licenses. Unless otherwise provided in an Order for maintenance and support services, Licensor may determine that it will not support a particular version of Software licensed on a Commercial License basis with at least one year’s prior notice to Licensee. Acceptance and implementation of any updates and/or upgrades provided by Licensor are compulsory and may not be refused by Licensee.

ADDING STORAGE CAPACITY

Licensee shall notify Licensor of any planned increases in usable storage capacity on a Commercial License to be added to an Order before such usable storage capacity is added. Licensee shall also notify Licensor of any planned increases in usable storage capacity on a Free License where that increase will exceed the then applicable Free Tier, before such usable storage capacity is added. Licensor shall generate an Order based on such notice. Licensee shall be responsible for the Fees (at Licensor’s standard rates, if none are set forth in an Order) for such added usable storage capacity from the date of such addition regardless of whether it has notified Licensor. Licensee will provide Licensor a report of the actual usable storage capacity of the Licensee system on a quarterly basis, including a report on the new hardware introduced during the previous quarter. Licensor will “true up” accordingly the license Fees which are due on that basis and will invoice the Licensee as necessary. If a given storage device containing the Software that is licensed on a Hardware License basis is decommissioned and replaced by a new device Licensee would be required to purchase a new Hardware License for the new device.

FEES (when applicable)

This section does not apply to Orders received by the Licensor from a Third-Party (including but not limited to authorized Reseller, authorized Distributor).
Licensee shall pay to Licensor all amounts set forth in an Order in the times provided in such Order (Fees) or if no time is stated, within thirty (30) calendar days after date of an invoice issued by Licensor or a Distributor. Licensee will pay a late payment interest equal to the European Central Bank main refinancing operations rate plus ten (10) basis points per annum, on all late payment, a flat rate recovery cost in the minimum amount of €. 40 per unpaid invoice, and all other costs related to Licensor’s successful collection efforts. If Licensee fails to pay any undisputed amount when due, then in addition to assessing interest and other fees above Licensor may (a) by written notice to Licensee terminate any or all Licenses until paid; (b) suspend some or all services until paid, including maintenance and support services (including any dedicated care services); and/or (c) require reasonable payment assurances in a form satisfactory to Licensor.

TAXES (when applicable)

This section does not apply to Orders received by the Licensor from a Third-Party (including but not limited to authorized Reseller, authorized Distributor).
All amounts payable exclude all applicable value added, sales, use and other taxes and all applicable export and import fees, customs duties and similar charges. Licensee is responsible for payment of all such taxes (other than taxes based on Licensor’s income), fees, duties and charges, and any related penalties and interest, arising from the grant of the license herein and or the receipt of services from Licensor. Licensee will make all payments free and clear of and without reduction for any withholding taxes. If Licensee has an obligation to withhold any amounts Licensee will gross up the payments so that Licensor receives the amount actually quoted and invoiced. If Licensor has a legal obligation to pay or collect taxes for which Licensee is responsible under this section, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by Licensee, unless Licensee provides Licensor with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

DISPUTED INVOICES (when applicable)

This section does not apply to Orders received by the Licensor from a Third-Party (including but not limited to authorized Reseller, authorized Distributor).
If made in good faith, Licensee may dispute any amount owed so long as Licensee provides a written notice of the dispute by the due date of the invoice, including a detailed explanation of the basis for Licensee’s dispute, timely pays the undisputed portion of the invoice, and Licensee diligently works with Licensor to resolve the dispute. Properly disputed amounts are not subject to the interest and other late charges in the Fees section above, provided any amounts resolved to be due are paid within 15 calendar days of such determination. Licensee may not dispute more than three (3) months or 20% of all then outstanding invoices, whichever is greater; if Licensee does, then such failure to pay is a material breach of this EULA by Licensee.
Failure to dispute an invoice is not a waiver of any other rights in this EULA.

AUDIT

For the term of this EULA and all applicable Orders and one (1) year thereafter, (a) Licensee will maintain all books, records, contracts and accounts relating to its use of the Software, the receipt of Services, its payment of Fees and general compliance under this EULA and applicable Orders, and (b) Licensor will have the right, at its own expense and under reasonable conditions of time and place, to audit and copy any or all of such records; provided however, that in no event shall Licensor be permitted to engage in more than two (2) audits in any given calendar year. If any such audit discloses a breach of this EULA and applicable Orders or underpayment of any amounts by Licensee or its employees or agents, Licensee will, in addition to such other rights and remedies as may be available to Licensor as the result of such breach, pay to Licensor the reasonable cost of such audit and copying. Licensor will use information obtained from such audit only to verify and enforce Licensee’s compliance with the terms of this EULA and applicable Orders, to comply with any governmental reporting requirements and for such other purposes as required by law.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Each Party acknowledges that it may be furnished, receive or otherwise have access to information that is of a confidential, proprietary, or trade secret nature furnished or disclosed by one Party (the “Discloser”) to the other Party (the “Recipient”) under this EULA and applicable Orders, including information exchanged in contemplation of entering into this EULA and applicable Orders (Confidential Information) of the other Party in connection with this EULA and applicable Orders which shall remain the property of the Discloser. Each Party agrees that Confidential Information received from the other Party: (a) will only be used as necessary to achieve the purposes and objectives of this EULA and applicable Orders; (b) will not be disclosed to any third party without prior written approval of Discloser; (c) may only be disclosed within the receiving organization on a “need-to-know” basis to persons who have been advised of the existence of this EULA and applicable Orders and agree to be bound by its terms; and (d) will be treated with at least the same degree of care as Recipient treats its own Confidential Information, but in no event with less than a reasonable degree of care. Recipient will notify Discloser promptly of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information and cooperate with and assist Discloser in every reasonable way to stop or minimize such unauthorized use or disclosure. Notwithstanding the above Confidential Information will not include information that: (i) is or becomes known to the public without breach of this EULA and applicable Orders by Recipient; (ii) is already known to or in the possession of Recipient at the time of disclosure; (iii) is independently developed by or for Recipient as evidenced by Recipient’s own files and records; (iv) is rightfully obtained by Recipient from a third party that was lawfully in possession of the information and had the right to disclose the same; or (v) the Parties mutually agree in writing to release from the terms of this EULA and applicable Orders. Confidential information will not be deemed to be publicly known merely because all or a portion of such information is embodied in general disclosures or because individual features and/or components (or the combination of such features and components) are or become known to the public. A Party may disclose Confidential Information to the limited extent required (a) in order to comply with the order of a court or other governmental body, or as otherwise necessary to comply with applicable law or the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, as well as to the New York Stock Exchange and any other regulator charged with the administration, oversight or enforcement of regulations applicable to any business conducted by Licensor, provided that the Party making the disclosure pursuant to the order shall first have given written notice to the other Party and made a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order or otherwise maintain the confidentiality of the information to be disclosed; or (b) to establish a Party’s rights under this EULA and applicable Orders, including to make such court filings as it may be required to do.

INDEMNITY

With respect to Commercial Licenses Licensor shall defend, indemnify, and hold Licensee harmless against all costs and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), damages, and liabilities awarded to a third party arising out of any claim by a third party that the Software as delivered by Licensor infringes or misappropriates, as applicable, any U.S. or French patent issued as of the effective date of the applicable Order, or any copyrights or trade secrets under applicable laws of any jurisdiction within the United States or within France. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor shall have no obligation or liability to the extent that the alleged infringement arises from (1) the combination, operation, or use of the Software with products, services, information, materials, technologies, business methods or processes not furnished by Licensor or specified in the Software documentation; (2) modifications to the Software, which modifications are not made by Licensor; (3) failure to use updates to the Software provided by Licensor; (4) misuse of the Software or use of the Software except in accordance with the Software documentation; or (5) breach of confidentially provisions herein (circumstances under the foregoing clauses (1), (2), (3), (4), and (5), collectively, “Licensee Indemnity Responsibilities”). Upon the occurrence of any claim for which indemnity is or may be due by Licensor, or in the event that Licensor believes that such a claim is likely, Licensor may, at its option (i) appropriately modify the Software so that it becomes non-infringing, or substitute functionally equivalent software or services; (ii) obtain a license to the applicable third-party intellectual property rights; or (iii) terminate this EULA and applicable Orders on written notice to Licensee and refund to Licensee any unused prepaid license Fees under the then current Order Term(s). The obligations set forth in this section constitute Licensor’s entire liability and Licensee’s sole remedy for any actual or alleged infringement or misappropriation.
Licensee shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Licensor from and against all losses, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), damages, and liabilities awarded to a third party resulting from a claim by a third party arising from or in connection with the Licensee Indemnity Responsibilities.
Each party (as the indemnitee) agrees to give the other Party (as the indemnitor) (a) prompt written notice of such claim; (b) sole authority to control and direct the defense and/or settlement of such claim; and (c) such information and assistance as may reasonably be requested, at the indemnitor’s expense, in connection with such defense and/or settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnitor shall not settle any third-party claim unless such settlement completely and forever releases the indemnitee with respect thereto or unless the indemnitee provides its prior written consent to such settlement. The indemnitee may participate in such defense at its own expense by counsel of its choice. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensor does not agree and will not indemnify Licensee in respect of any Free License.

LIMIT OF LIABILITY

With respect to Commercial Licenses Licensor will be liable to Licensee (or any affiliate of Licensee) only for the amount of Licensee’s actual direct damages, not to exceed (in the aggregate for all claims) the amount paid by Licensee to Licensor for the specifically deployed Software that caused the liability and is the subject of the claim. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensor will not be liable in damages for any claim arising from any use of a Free License by Licensee; Licensee’s sole and exclusive remedy for any claim relating to a Free License is to terminate use of the Software licensed under the Free License. In no event will Licensor’s aggregate liability for all claims arising under or relating to any single Order exceed the total amount paid to Licensor by Licensee pursuant to such Order for the twelve (12) months prior to month in which the event giving rise to liability occurred under such Order. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO (A) BREACHES OF LICENSEE’S OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN THE SECTION “CONFIDENTIALITY” AND THE SECTION “INDEMNITY”; AND (B) DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE TO LICENSEE’S MISAPPROPRIATION, VIOLATION OR INFRINGEMENT OF LICENSOR’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY, OR LICENSOR’S SUPPLIERS, BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY LOST PROFITS, DAMAGES RESULTING FROM LOSS OF DATA, SECURITY BREACH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOST REVENUE, LOST SAVINGS OR LOSS OF BUSINESS) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS EULA, THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE OR LICENSOR’S PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES OR OF ANY OTHER OBLIGATIONS RELATING TO THIS EULA, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. The limitations of liability set forth in this Section will survive and apply notwithstanding the failure of any limited or exclusive remedy for breach of warranty set forth in this EULA and applicable Orders.

ARTESCA Licensing agreements

ARTESCA Software License and Maintenance Support Services Terms & Conditions
SOFTWARE LICENSE

All software (Software) identified in an order form (Order), which may be provided in paper or via electronic means, that is executed by either (a) an authorized distributor (Distributor) on behalf of Scality (Licensor), or by Licensor, and (b) the party who is entitled to use the software (Licensee) are licensed (and not sold) in accordance with the Order and those ARTESCA License and support Terms & Conditions. Distributors must be authorized by Licensor to distribute the Software for this License to be valid. An Order may establish prices and volume/metrics of licensed Software but may not modify those ARTESCA License and support Terms & Conditions unless the Order expressly states that the Order terms supersede those ARTESCA License and support Terms & Conditions, and such provision is separately signed by Licensor. Licensor owns and retains the exclusive right, title and interest, including intellectual property rights, in the Software and Software documentation and all Software and Software documentation and copies made thereof are licensed, not sold.

LICENSE TYPES

The Software may be licensed as a Free License or as a Commercial License. A Free License is subject to the special terms and conditions in the section “FREE LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS” below. A Commercial License means a fee based license to use the Software for a specific period of time or for a specific usable storage capacity, or both, as set forth on the Order.

LICENSE TERMS

Unless Licensee breaches those ARTESCA License and support Terms & Conditions or the Order and Licensor terminates those ARTESCA License and support Terms & Conditions and/or an Order, Licensor grants Licensee a worldwide, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable during the period of time set forth on an Order, license to use the object code version of the Software for up to the usable storage capacity identified on the Order Form (if the Order fails to specify a specific amount of storage the storage limit shall be one terabyte) at the location(s) set forth on the Order.
Licensee is also licensed to use and make internal copies of all Software documentation provided by Licensor solely in connection with the use of the Software as authorized above. Licensee may make internal copies of the Software solely for backup and restoration purposes but may not use such copies of the Software for live or production use, or any direct or indirect use of the Software which is in live or production use or serving its final or intended or revenue generating purpose (Production Use).
“usable storage capacity” is calculated by dividing total raw capacity used for storing data (which the total capacity of disks used to store data) by the data protection overhead ratio required to protect data on such hardware per the attached formula:
Usable storage capacity = (raw storage used to store data) / (data protection overhead ratio).
For example, for a storage with 120 disks of 20TB and ARC 9+3 :

  • raw capacity is 120*20=2400TB
  • data protection overhead = 12/9 = 1.33
  • usable storage capacity = 2400/1.33 = 1800TB

Licensee may only use the Software on operating systems listed on the Licensor website at www.scality.com as compatible with the Software.

FREE LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

Licensor may grant the right to use the Software without a fee for defined period of time (the “Trial Period”). The Trial Period is thirty (30) days, starting the day of the Software installation.

Legacy Terms and Conditions

End User License Agreement (EULA) November 13th, 2024

Effective starting: November 13th, 2024

SOFTWARE LICENSE

All software (Software) identified in an order form (Order), which may be provided in paper or via electronic means, that is executed by either (a) an authorized distributor (Distributor) on behalf of Scality (Licensor), or by Licensor, and (b) the party who is entitled to use the software (Licensee) are licensed (and not sold) in accordance with the Order and this EULA. Distributors must be authorized by Licensor to distribute the Software for this License to be valid. This EULA is incorporated by reference into each Order. An Order may establish prices and volume/metrics of licensed Software but may not modify this EULA unless the Order expressly states that the Order terms supersede this EULA, and such provision is separately signed by Licensor. Licensor owns and retains the exclusive right, title and interest, including intellectual property rights, in the Software and Software documentation and all Software and Software documentation and copies made thereof are licensed, not sold.

LICENSE TYPES

The Software may be licensed as a Free License, Hardware License, Perpetual License, or as a Term License. A Free License is subject to the special terms and conditions in the section “FREE LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS” below. A Hardware License means a license to the Software that is tied to a given hardware device for the usable storage capacity (as defined below) of the device measured in terabytes as specified on an Order and licensed for use on that device for the life of that device. A Perpetual License means a perpetual license to use a particular version of the Software for a specified usable storage capacity (HDD and SSD) measured in terabytes as specified on an Order. A Perpetual License does not terminate (unless Licensee breaches this EULA, any Order or any other agreement with Licensor) and is not tied to a specific hardware device, however, unless Licensee also purchase maintenance and support, does not include updates or upgrades to the Software after the end of any paid-up maintenance and support period. A Term License means a fee based license to use the Software for a specific period of time or for a specific usable storage capacity, or both, as set forth on the Order. In this EULA, the term “Commercial License” means a Hardware License, Perpetual License or a Term License.

LICENSE TERMS

Unless Licensee breaches this EULA or the Order and Licensor terminates this EULA and/or an Order, Licensor grants Licensee a worldwide, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable:
For a Hardware License: perpetual license to use the object code version of the Software on the designated hardware in the Order, for up to the usable storage capacity specified on the Order, at the location(s) set forth on the Order.
For a Term License: during the period of time set forth on an Order, license to use the object code version of the Software for up to the usable storage capacity identified on the Order Form (if the Order fails to specify a specific amount of storage the storage limit shall be one terabyte) at the location(s) set forth on the Order.
Licensee is also licensed to use and make internal copies of all Software documentation provided by Licensor solely in connection with the use of the Software as authorized above. Licensee may make internal copies of the Software solely for backup and restoration purposes but may not use such copies of the Software for live or production use, or any direct or indirect use of the Software which is in live or production use or serving its final or intended or revenue generating purpose (Production Use).
“usable storage capacity” is calculated by dividing total raw capacity used for storing data (which the total capacity of disks used to store data) by the data protection overhead ratio required to protect data on such hardware per the attached formula:
Usable storage capacity = (raw storage used to store data) / (data protection overhead ratio).
For example, for a storage with 120 disks of 20TB and ARC 9+3 :
– raw capacity is 120*20=2400TB
– data protection overhead = 12/9 = 1.33
– usable storage capacity = 2400/1.33 = 1800TB

Licensee may only use the Software on operating systems listed on the Licensor website at www.scality.com as compatible with the Software.

FREE LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Licensor may grant the right to use the Software without a fee for defined amount of usable storage capacity as defined above (the “Free Tier”). Any Free Tier will be set forth on Licensor’s website. The amount of usable storage capacity in a Free Tier may be used on only one hardware or virtual instance and may not be spread across multiple hardware or virtual instances. Licensor may change the amount of usable storage capacity for the Free Tier at any time, including terminating the Free Tier completely. While Licensee may use the Free Tier in regular production, Licensee acknowledges Licensor’s right to change or terminate the Free Tier program. If Licensor makes a change to the Free Tier, any fees and charges for use of the Software shall only accrue for the time period after the date Licensor makes the change and publishes such modification on its website. Licensor may at any time request a Licensee using the Free Tier to confirm that their usable storage capacity is at or below the then current Free Tier level, and/or to confirm their total usable storage capacity over a span of dates. Licensee shall promptly and accurately confirm its usable storage capacity for such periods requested, and if Licensor has enabled such functionality in the Software, promptly provide Licensor with any usable storage capacity reports enabled in the Software.

THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE

Licensor may distribute software owned by third parties (Third Party Software) with the Software. Third Party Software may be subject to other license terms. To the extent Licensor has the right to distribute such Third Party Software, Licensor grants Licensee all of the rights the Licensor has to Third Party Software for use in connection with the Software. Third Party Software that is not embedded into the executable Software image provided by Licensor is not “Software” in this EULA.

LIMITATIONS

Except to the extent expressly licensed as provided in this EULA and an Order, Licensee may not directly, or indirectly through another, reproduce, modify, translate or otherwise create derivative works from, rent, lease, loan or otherwise distribute, copy, decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer or attempt to reconstruct, identify or discover any source code, underlying ideas, processes or algorithms by any legal or technical means whatsoever, in respect of all or any part of the Software, Software documentation or Licensor’s Confidential Information (defined below). Licensor reserves all rights to the Software, Software documentation and Licensor Confidential Information not expressly granted herein or in an Order.

OTHER RESTRICTIONS

Unless otherwise stated in an Order or approved by Licensor in writing, Licensee may not directly or indirectly through or with another: (i) move the Software to a location other than the location set forth on the initial Order; (ii) publish or disclose any features, functionalities, attributes, results of any test or benchmarking or comparative study of, the Software or documentation or use such results or information for any software development activity; (iii) remove any product identification, proprietary, copyright or other notices contained in the Software or documentation; or (iv) use the Software on any hardware or systems environment other than those listed on the Licensor website at www.scality.com as compatible with the Software.

UPDATES AND UPGRADES

Software includes patches, updates, improvements, additions, enhancements and other modifications that may subsequently be made available to Licensee to the extent provided in an applicable Order for maintenance and support services for Commercial Licenses. Licensor makes no commitment to update, upgrade or provide support for Free Licenses. Unless otherwise provided in an Order for maintenance and support services, Licensor may determine that it will not support a particular version of Software licensed on a Commercial License basis with at least one year’s prior notice to Licensee. Acceptance and implementation of any updates and/or upgrades provided by Licensor are compulsory and may not be refused by Licensee.

ADDING STORAGE CAPACITY

Licensee shall notify Licensor of any planned increases in usable storage capacity on a Commercial License to be added to an Order before such usable storage capacity is added. Licensee shall also notify Licensor of any planned increases in usable storage capacity on a Free License where that increase will exceed the then applicable Free Tier, before such usable storage capacity is added. Licensor shall generate an Order based on such notice. Licensee shall be responsible for the Fees (at Licensor’s standard rates, if none are set forth in an Order) for such added usable storage capacity from the date of such addition regardless of whether it has notified Licensor. Licensee will provide Licensor a report of the actual usable storage capacity of the Licensee system on a quarterly basis, including a report on the new hardware introduced during the previous quarter. Licensor will “true up” accordingly the license Fees which are due on that basis and will invoice the Licensee as necessary. If a given storage device containing the Software that is licensed on a Hardware License basis is decommissioned and replaced by a new device Licensee would be required to purchase a new Hardware License for the new device.

FEES (when applicable)

This section does not apply to Orders received by the Licensor from a Third-Party (including but not limited to authorized Reseller, authorized Distributor).
Licensee shall pay to Licensor all amounts set forth in an Order in the times provided in such Order (Fees) or if no time is stated, within thirty (30) calendar days after date of an invoice issued by Licensor or a Distributor. Licensee will pay a late payment interest equal to the European Central Bank main refinancing operations rate plus ten (10) basis points per annum, on all late payment, a flat rate recovery cost in the minimum amount of €. 40 per unpaid invoice, and all other costs related to Licensor’s successful collection efforts. If Licensee fails to pay any undisputed amount when due, then in addition to assessing interest and other fees above Licensor may (a) by written notice to Licensee terminate any or all Licenses until paid; (b) suspend some or all services until paid, including maintenance and support services (including any dedicated care services); and/or (c) require reasonable payment assurances in a form satisfactory to Licensor.

TAXES (when applicable)

This section does not apply to Orders received by the Licensor from a Third-Party (including but not limited to authorized Reseller, authorized Distributor).
All amounts payable exclude all applicable value added, sales, use and other taxes and all applicable export and import fees, customs duties and similar charges. Licensee is responsible for payment of all such taxes (other than taxes based on Licensor’s income), fees, duties and charges, and any related penalties and interest, arising from the grant of the license herein and or the receipt of services from Licensor. Licensee will make all payments free and clear of and without reduction for any withholding taxes. If Licensee has an obligation to withhold any amounts Licensee will gross up the payments so that Licensor receives the amount actually quoted and invoiced. If Licensor has a legal obligation to pay or collect taxes for which Licensee is responsible under this section, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by Licensee, unless Licensee provides Licensor with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

DISPUTED INVOICES (when applicable)

This section does not apply to Orders received by the Licensor from a Third-Party (including but not limited to authorized Reseller, authorized Distributor).
If made in good faith, Licensee may dispute any amount owed so long as Licensee provides a written notice of the dispute by the due date of the invoice, including a detailed explanation of the basis for Licensee’s dispute, timely pays the undisputed portion of the invoice, and Licensee diligently works with Licensor to resolve the dispute. Properly disputed amounts are not subject to the interest and other late charges in the Fees section above, provided any amounts resolved to be due are paid within 15 calendar days of such determination. Licensee may not dispute more than three (3) months or 20% of all then outstanding invoices, whichever is greater; if Licensee does, then such failure to pay is a material breach of this EULA by Licensee.
Failure to dispute an invoice is not a waiver of any other rights in this EULA.

AUDIT

For the term of this EULA and all applicable Orders and one (1) year thereafter, (a) Licensee will maintain all books, records, contracts and accounts relating to its use of the Software, the receipt of Services, its payment of Fees and general compliance under this EULA and applicable Orders, and (b) Licensor will have the right, at its own expense and under reasonable conditions of time and place, to audit and copy any or all of such records; provided however, that in no event shall Licensor be permitted to engage in more than two (2) audits in any given calendar year. If any such audit discloses a breach of this EULA and applicable Orders or underpayment of any amounts by Licensee or its employees or agents, Licensee will, in addition to such other rights and remedies as may be available to Licensor as the result of such breach, pay to Licensor the reasonable cost of such audit and copying. Licensor will use information obtained from such audit only to verify and enforce Licensee’s compliance with the terms of this EULA and applicable Orders, to comply with any governmental reporting requirements and for such other purposes as required by law.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Each Party acknowledges that it may be furnished, receive or otherwise have access to information that is of a confidential, proprietary, or trade secret nature furnished or disclosed by one Party (the “Discloser”) to the other Party (the “Recipient”) under this EULA and applicable Orders, including information exchanged in contemplation of entering into this EULA and applicable Orders (Confidential Information) of the other Party in connection with this EULA and applicable Orders which shall remain the property of the Discloser. Each Party agrees that Confidential Information received from the other Party: (a) will only be used as necessary to achieve the purposes and objectives of this EULA and applicable Orders; (b) will not be disclosed to any third party without prior written approval of Discloser; (c) may only be disclosed within the receiving organization on a “need-to-know” basis to persons who have been advised of the existence of this EULA and applicable Orders and agree to be bound by its terms; and (d) will be treated with at least the same degree of care as Recipient treats its own Confidential Information, but in no event with less than a reasonable degree of care.

The indemnitee may participate in such defense at its own expense by counsel of its choice. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensor does not agree and will not indemnify Licensee in respect of any Free License.

LIMIT OF LIABILITY

With respect to Commercial Licenses Licensor will be liable to Licensee (or any affiliate of Licensee) only for the amount of Licensee’s actual direct damages, not to exceed (in the aggregate for all claims) the amount paid by Licensee to Licensor for the specifically deployed Software that caused the liability and is the subject of the claim. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensor will not be liable in damages for any claim arising from any use of a Free License by Licensee; Licensee’s sole and exclusive remedy for any claim relating to a Free License is to terminate use of the Software licensed under the Free License. In no event will Licensor’s aggregate liability for all claims arising under or relating to any single Order exceed the total amount paid to Licensor by Licensee pursuant to such Order for the twelve (12) months prior to month in which the event giving rise to liability occurred under such Order. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO (A) BREACHES OF LICENSEE’S OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN THE SECTION “CONFIDENTIALITY” AND THE SECTION “INDEMNITY”; AND (B) DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE TO LICENSEE’S MISAPPROPRIATION, VIOLATION OR INFRINGEMENT OF LICENSOR’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY, OR LICENSOR’S SUPPLIERS, BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY LOST PROFITS, DAMAGES RESULTING FROM LOSS OF DATA, SECURITY BREACH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOST REVENUE, LOST SAVINGS OR LOSS OF BUSINESS) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS EULA, THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE OR LICENSOR’S PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES OR OF ANY OTHER OBLIGATIONS RELATING TO THIS EULA, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

SCALITY MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT SERVICES
TERMS AND CONDITIONS (M&S Terms)

These M&S Terms are made under an Order between the Licensee and Licensor that incorporates an End User Software License Agreement (EULA) and describe the level of standard maintenance and support (M&S) services provided by Licensor as to the Software identified in the Order for M&S services. Capitalized terms not defined here are defined in the EULA and incorporated herein.
In consideration of payment of the Fees in the applicable Order for M&S services, and provided Licensee is not in breach of the EULA or any Order, Licensor agrees, during the term of the Order for M&S services, as follows:

SOFTWARE ERROR CORRECTIONS

Licensor will use commercially reasonable efforts to adapt, reconfigure or reprogram the Software, as applicable, to correct any material nonconformity of the Software with the Software documentation (Error(s)) reported to Licensor by Licensee, in a reasonable time in light of the severity of the Error, provided that if such Error is the result of errors or misstatements in the Software documentation, Licensor may correct such non-conformity by amending the Software documentation (Error Correction).

WORKAROUND

If Licensor is unable to complete an Error Correction, Licensor will use commercially reasonable efforts within a reasonable time in light of the severity of the Errors, to develop procedures or routines which, when employed in the regular operation of, or access to, the Software, will avoid or substantially diminish the practical adverse effects of the relevant Errors (Workaround).

SOFTWARE UPDATES AND UPGRADES

Licensor may develop modifications to the Software that (a) are minor improvements or augmentations and do not introduce material new functionality (Updates) or (b) additional features or functions, or substantial and material improvements with respect to the utility and efficiency of the Software or that add new features or functionality to the Software, and which are not marketed by Licensor as a separate module, product and/or service (Upgrades). Licensee is entitled to all Updates/Upgrades during the term of an M&S services Order for the Software identified therein. Licensor may charge additional fees for Upgrades to the extent Licensor generally imposes such an Upgrade fee on similarly situated customers. Updates/Upgrades must be installed by Licensee within a reasonable time, not to exceed 30 days, after Licensee is informed that such release is available. If Licensee fails to install such updates/upgrades, all warranties, indemnities and/or rights to service level credits shall be suspended, and Licensor is not liable for any security issue or maintenance related to such issue that was remediated in such release, until the failing upgrade/update is made. Licensor may provide Upgrades that resolve Errors and designate prior releases as end of life. Licensor shall not be required to support Software beyond its stated end of life period, provided that no version of Software under a then unexpired Order for M&S services shall have an end of life for Licensee prior to the end of the term for such Order for M&S services. All Updates and Upgrades constitute Software under the EULA.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT

Licensor will provide the following levels of technical support to the Licensee. Technical support is only provided for the production instance (i.e. not lab, test, preview or other non in-production environments) of the Software.

Severity Levels.

Priority Category[1] Access Method Response Time[2] Target Service Restoration[3]
Priority 1 Phone[4] 15 minutes (24×7) 2 hours
Priority 2 Ticketing 4 business hours 3 business days
Priority 3 Ticketing 3 business days N/A
Service and/or Information Request Ticketing As can be accommodated N/A

[1] “Priority 1” means an Error that results in data residing on a storage volume managed by the Software being Unavailable, where “Unavailable” means that the data is not returned upon request, where such Unavailable condition arises solely as a result of the Error in the Software..
“Priority 2” means that despite data on a storage volume managed by the Software being available, the Software is malfunctioning in a manner that seriously degrades the performance of the Software or the availability of material functionality exposed by the Software.
“Priority 3” means all other Errors (including but not limited to loss of redundancy)
[2] Business hours and business days are defined as “normal business hours” within the time zone of the Customer (e.g., 9am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday, with the exclusion of bank holidays in such time zone). “Response Time” means that Licensor gives Licensee an acknowledgment of receipt of the notice regarding the issue.
[3] This is the period of time that Licensor targets to either have an Error Correction or a Workaround available to Licensee. Licensor does not guarantee an actual Error Correction or a Workaround in this time frame and provides no credits or other rights to damages or claims for Licensee under these M&S Terms. Licensee may purchase Dedicated Care Service plans that provide levels of guaranteed performance and credits.
[4] Licensor’s telephone Priority 1 support numbers are currently available on Licensor’s website, Scality.com. If such numbers later are not made public, they will be provided to Licensee separately and may not be disclosed or shared without Licensor’s written permission.

Licensor Business Days and Hours as referred to in these Scale Care Services Terms are local working (i.e. non holiday, non-weekend) days and hours in the country the Resource of Licensor works from. If no local working days and hours are otherwise stated then working days and hours are Monday through Friday (excluding government recognized holidays), 9am to 5pm, local time.
  2. For Enterprise Scale Care and Secure Site Care, included Services listed above might be delivered outside of Licensor Business Days and Hours as determined by Licensor. Each day (or portion thereof) of Services provided outside of Licensor Business Days and Hours needs to be approved by Licensor and shall count with a factor 2 against the Services included or Service Days ordered separately.
  3. Service Level Credits shall be applied as credits only against the following Renewal Term M&S services and/or Scale Care Service fees and shall not be paid out, provided that if Licensee does not renew any M&S services (and/or any DCS services), then the net credit due from Licensor shall be paid to Licensee within 45 days of the end of M&S/DCS services.
  4. Service level credits shall be treated as liquidated damages and Licensee is not entitled to any other damages of any kind in respect of the event that gave rise to entitlement to a credit (i.e. no consequential or other contractual damages are permitted related to application of a Service Level Credit).

ADDITIONAL TERMINATION RIGHT  

If the Software is not Available for at least 99% in a calendar quarter period, Licensee’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to terminate that portion of the Order for Scale Care Services for the Software that failed to meet that standard by giving written notice of such election not later than 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter in which such failure occurred. 

If timely notice of a termination right above is given to Licensor, Licensor shall refund Licensee any prepaid, pro-rated unused fees for such Scale Care Services, which refund is the sole and exclusive remedy related to such breach of the service level obligations herein.  

CONDITIONS

All Service Levels and Service Level Credits and Termination rights are conditioned on the following (i.e. if all of the conditions are not met, then no Service Level Credits shall be due to the Licensee due to a failure to meet the Service Levels and Licensee shall not be entitled to terminate any Order):

  1. Service level credits will only be payable after (a) Licensor has received Licensee’s final root cause analysis report (RCA Report), which such RCA Report shall not be abridged or redacted, and (b) Licensee and Licensor have discussed the RCA Report and agreed upon the conclusions therein. The RCA Report and discussions thereon are Confidential Information of Licensee, provided however that to the extent the RCA Report and/or discussions include identification of Licensor caused issues or failures, such discussions of Licensor caused issues or failures shall be deemed joint Confidential Information of Licensee and Licensor. Licensee must maintain log files and other data sufficient to create a reasonably supported RCA Report.  In general, that means that all log files are available for at least 5 days before and 14 days after the event giving rise to a service level breach.
  2. Service levels provided as part of Scale Care Services apply at the cluster level, separately for each functional cluster (i.e., all servers in the same RING instance of the Software). Service levels do not apply at the server level (e.g., a store node being down does not impact the service level).
  3. The Software must have been accepted and not subject to any right to reject (for example, during a test acceptance period) even if in production.
  4. Licensee must not be in default of any obligation to Licensor under any agreement, Order, EULA or Scale Care Services Terms, and all fees must have been paid for the applicable Scale Care Services.

  12. Licensor resources have, through the Internet, on demand access to production servers operating the Software on a 24 x 7×365 basis, or if not provided such access, then the time until such access is provided shall not be counted against Licensor in calculating the service credit.
  13. Licensee allows Licensor to audit the installed Software to obtain such information as may be reasonably necessary to verify the failure to comply with a Service Level, such audit to be performed remotely, if remote access is possible, and otherwise on-site; provided that if such audit is to be performed on-site, then Licensor will provide reasonable advance notice of same, and such audit shall occur during Business Days and Hours. Any internal cost incurred by each Party or by any Licensor’s Authorized Reseller or Licensor’s Authorized Partner that are approved and are part of the procurement process for the Order (including but not limited to travel expenses or time spent for one Party’s employees or usual contractors) shall be covered by each Party. Licensor shall pay for any external expenses of such an audit.
  14.

ARTESCA Software License and Maintenance Support Services Updated November 13th, 2024
1. SOFTWARE LICENSE

All software (Software) identified in an order form (Order), which may be provided in paper or via electronic means, that is executed by either (a) an authorized distributor (Distributor) on behalf of Scality (Licensor), or by Licensor, and (b) the party who is entitled to use the software (Licensee) are licensed (and not sold) in accordance with the Order and those ARTESCA License and support Terms & Conditions. Distributors must be authorized by Licensor to distribute the Software for this License to be valid. An Order may establish prices and volume/metrics of licensed Software but may not modify those ARTESCA License and support Terms & Conditions unless the Order expressly states that the Order terms supersede those ARTESCA License and support Terms & Conditions, and such provision is separately signed by Licensor. Licensor owns and retains the exclusive right, title and interest, including intellectual property rights, in the Software and Software documentation and all Software and Software documentation and copies made thereof are licensed, not sold.

2. LICENSE TYPES

The Software may be licensed as a Free License or as a Commercial License.  A Free License is subject to the special terms and conditions in the section “FREE LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS” below. A Commercial License means a fee based license to use the Software for a specific period of time or for a specific usable storage capacity, or both, as set forth on the Order. 

3. LICENSE TERMS

Unless Licensee breaches those ARTESCA License and support Terms & Conditions or the Order and Licensor terminates those ARTESCA License and support Terms & Conditions and/or an Order, Licensor grants Licensee a worldwide, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable during the period of time set forth on an Order, license to use the object code version of the Software for up to the usable storage capacity identified on the Order Form (if the Order fails to specify a specific amount of storage the storage limit shall be one terabyte) at the location(s) set forth on the Order.

Licensee is also licensed to use and make internal copies of all Software documentation provided by Licensor solely in connection with the use of the Software as authorized above. Licensee may make internal copies of the Software solely for backup and restoration purposes but may not use such copies of the Software for live or production use, or any direct or indirect use of the Software which is in live or production use or serving its final or intended or revenue generating purpose (Production Use).

“usable storage capacity” is calculated by dividing total raw capacity used for storing data (which the total capacity of disks used to store data) by the data protection overhead ratio required to protect data on such hardware per the attached formula:

Usable storage capacity = (raw storage used to store data) / (data protection overhead ratio).

For example, for a storage with 120 disks of 20TB and ARC 9+3 :

  • raw capacity is 120*20=2400TB
  • data protection overhead = 12/9 = 1.33
  • usable storage capacity = 2400/1.33 = 1800TB

Licensee may only use the Software on operating system listed on the Licensor website at www.scality.com as compatible with the Software.

4. FREE LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Licensor may grant the right to use the Software without a fee for defined period of time (the “Trial Period”). The Trial Period is thirty (30) days, starting the day of the Software installation.

4.2 Remote Monitoring and Diagnosis. The Software contains functionality that allows Scality to remotely monitor the Software, however, such functionality is neither enabled nor used unless Customer has ordered and accepted DCS. If Customer has ordered DCS, Customer hereby grants Scality the right to monitor and gain access to the Software for the limited purposes set forth in this Section and to provide DCS services. Customer acknowledges that the Software and its monitoring tools collect and transmit certain status information to Scality regarding the installation and operation of the Software. As part of Scality’s monitoring tools, there is a real-time monitoring, alarming and capacity planning solution. On the installation, the information indicates to Scality whether installation of the Software was successfully completed as well as whether the Software has encountered an error within the installation process operated by Customer. This information is collected by Scality for the purpose of evaluating and improving Software performance and installation success rate. On operation of the Software, the information concerns Software global status and its components capabilities, operations, capacity trends and health. Scality collects and remotely monitor the Software for the limited purpose of improving Software performance and service quality provided to Customer. The status information could contain personally identifiable information only if such information is included in the name of the file or folder encountered by the Software at the time it encounters an error. This information shall not be correlated with any personally identifiable information and shall not be considered as a process of personal data. The Software shall also collect and transmit to Scality other information which may be used for license administration, software analysis, and for improving software functionality. Scality shall also have a right to audit the installed Software to obtain such information, such audit to be performed remotely, if remote access is possible, and otherwise on-site; provided that if such audit is to be performed on-site, then Scality will provide reasonable advance notice of same, and such audit shall occur during normal business hours. The information collected by Scality pursuant to the present section shall not be correlated by Scality with any personally identifiable information.

5. FEES; PAYMENT

5.1 Fees. In consideration for the licenses granted to Customer and the performance of Scality’s obligations under the Agreement or the DCS, Customer shall pay to Scality, without offset or deduction, certain Fees, in such amounts as may be determined by reference to an Order. Unless otherwise provided in such Order, all such Fees shall be due and payable within thirty (30) calendar days after date of the Order for Products or the date of the Scality invoice for all other Fees. Customer will pay a late payment interest equal to the European Central Bank main refinancing operations rate plus ten (10) basis points per annum, on all amounts not paid in accordance with this Section 5.1; this interest will begin to accrue on the day after the payment due date and will accumulate on the outstanding balance on a daily basis until paid in full. Additionally, Customer will pay a flat rate recovery cost indemnity in the minimum amount of €. 40 per unpaid invoice as well as all other costs related to the collection of payments.

5.2 Special Terms for Hardware Licenses. If the Products are purchased under a Hardware License, then each time a new storage drive is added to the system (measuring it in TB capacity for usable data), the corresponding license Fee becomes due, as per Scality’s pricing policy. Customer will provide Scality a report of the actual capacity of the Customer system on a quarterly basis, including a report on the new hardware introduced during the previous quarter. Scality will “true up” accordingly the license Fees which are due on that basis and will invoice the Customer as necessary. If a given storage drive in a Customer deployment of a system containing Scality Software is being decommissioned and replaced by a new drive with a higher capacity, the purchase of a new license would become necessary, as per Scality pricing policy.

5.3 Taxes. All amounts payable under the Agreement shall exclude all applicable value added, sales, use and other taxes and all applicable export and import fees, customs duties and similar charges. Customer will be responsible for payment of all such taxes (other than taxes based on Scality’s income), fees, duties and charges, and any related penalties and interest, arising from the payment of any Fees hereunder, the grant of license rights hereunder, or the delivery of Services. Customer will make all payments required hereunder to Scality free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes. If Customer have an obligation to withhold any amounts under any law or tax regime (other than income tax), Customer will gross up the payments so that Scality receives the amount actually quoted and invoiced. If Scality has a legal obligation to pay or collect taxes for which Customer is responsible under this section, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by Customer, unless Customer provide Scality with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

5.4 Disputed Charges. Customer will pay undisputed amounts when due. If Customer disputes in good faith any amount owed by Customer, Customer may withhold such disputed amount (up to a total for all disputed amounts of the total amount owed by Customer for the three (3) immediately preceding calendar months) so long as Customer provides a written notice of dispute by the due date for the disputed amount including a detailed explanation of the basis for Customer’s dispute. If Scality does not agree with Customer’s reasons for disputing any amount, the dispute will then be resolved under Section 11.1, however, the Parties will in good faith attempt to resolve such disputes within ninety (90) days of Scality’s receipt of Customer’s notice of dispute. If the dispute on any charge is resolved in favor of Scality, such charges will be due and payable within ten (10) days of such resolution, including applicable late fees from the original due date of payment by Customer for such charges.

5.5 Assurances. If Customer fails to pay any undisputed amount when due, then in addition to assessing interest Scality may (a) terminate any or all Licenses until paid; (b) suspend some or all Services until paid, including services provided pursuant to the DCS; and/or (c) require reasonable payment assurances (“Assurances”) including pre-payment of Fees, guaranties or letters of credit and condition continuing Licenses and Services on receipt of such Assurances. Upon thirty (30) days’ notice, Scality may require Assurances as a condition to continuing to provide Licenses and Services based on any material adverse change in the financial condition of Customer.

5.6 Audit. For the term of the Agreement and one (1) year thereafter, (a) Customer will maintain all books, records, contracts and accounts relating to its use of the Products, the receipt of Services, its payment of Fees and general compliance under the Agreement, and (b) Scality will have the right, at its own expense and under reasonable conditions of time and place, to audit and copy any or all of such records; provided however, that in no event shall Scality be permitted to engage in more than two (2) audits in any given calendar year. If any such audit discloses a breach of the Agreement or underpayment of any amounts by Customer or its employees or agents, Customer will, in addition to such other rights and remedies as may be available to Scality as the result of such breach, pay to Scality the reasonable cost of such audit and copying. Scality will use information obtained from such audit only to verify and enforce Customer’s compliance with the terms of the Agreement, to comply with any governmental reporting requirements and for such other purposes as required by law.

6. CONFIDENTIALITY

6.1 Definition. The term “Confidential Information” means information that is of a confidential, proprietary, or trade secret nature and is furnished or disclosed by one Party (the “Discloser”) to the other Party (the “Recipient”) under the Agreement (including information exchanged in contemplation of entering into the Agreement) that is: (a) marked as confidential; (b) if orally or visually disclosed, identified as confidential upon disclosure; or (c) due to its character, nature, or method of transmittal, information that a reasonable person under like circumstances would treat as confidential.

6.2 Protection of Confidential Information. Each Party acknowledges that it may be furnished, receive or otherwise have access to Confidential Information of the other Party in connection with the Agreement which shall remain the property of the Discloser. Each Party agrees that Confidential Information received from the other Party: (a) will only be used as necessary to achieve the purposes and objectives of the Agreement; (b) will not be disclosed to any third party without prior written approval of Discloser; (c) may only be disclosed within the receiving organization on a “need-to-know” basis to persons who have been advised of the existence of the Agreement and agree to be bound by its terms; and (d) will be treated with at least the same degree of care as Recipient treats its own Confidential Information, but in no event with less than a reasonable degree of care. Furthermore, Recipient agrees that it will not, and will not permit a third party to, (i) copy, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble or create derivative works any Confidential Information except as specifically permitted under the Agreement or otherwise with the advance written consent of Discloser or (ii) alter, remove, or suppress any copyright, trademark, confidentiality, or other proprietary notices, marks or any legends placed, included, affixed, embedded or otherwise appearing in or on any Confidential Information, Software or Documentation or any related material; or fail to ensure that all such notices and legends appear on all full or partial copies of the Confidential Information, Software, Documentation or any related material. Recipient will notify Discloser promptly of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information and cooperate with and assist Discloser in every reasonable way to stop or minimize such unauthorized use or disclosure.

6.3 Exceptions. “Confidential Information” will not include information that: (i) is or becomes known to the public without breach of the Agreement by Recipient; (ii) is already known to or in the possession of Recipient at the time of disclosure; (iii) is independently developed by or for Recipient as evidenced by Recipient’s own files and records; (iv) is rightfully obtained by Recipient from a third party that was lawfully in possession of the information and had the right to disclose the same; or (v) the Parties mutually agree in writing to release from the terms of the Agreement. Confidential information will not be deemed to be publicly known merely because all or a portion of such information is embodied in general disclosures or because individual features and/or components (or the combination of such features and components) are or become known to the public.

6.4 Exclusions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may disclose Confidential Information to the limited extent required (a) in order to comply with the order of a court or other governmental body, or as otherwise necessary to comply with applicable law or the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, as well as to the New York Stock Exchange and any other regulator charged with the administration, oversight or enforcement of regulations applicable to any business conducted by Scality, provided that the Party making the disclosure pursuant to the order shall first have given written notice to the other Party and made a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order or otherwise maintain the confidentiality of the information to be disclosed; or (b) to establish a Party’s rights under the Agreement, including to make such court filings as it may be required to do.

7. WARRANTY

7.1 Scality Warranties. Scality represents and warrants that the Software will conform in all material respects to the Documentation for a period of ninety (90) days after the Software is delivered to Customer pursuant to the Agreement, provided that such warranty will not apply to failures to conform to the Documentation to the extent such failures arise, in whole or in part, from (a) any use of the Software other than in accordance with the Documentation, (b) modification of the Software by Customer or any third party, or (c) any combination of the Software with software, hardware or other technology not provided by Scality under the Agreement or specified by Scality as not interoperable with the Software. For all warranty claims made by Customer during the warranty period, Scality will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve, at no charge to Customer, any such non-conformities. This is Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for a breach of this warranty.

8.3 Effect of Termination/Expiration. If the Agreement is terminated by either Party, or otherwise expires, then (a) within ten (10) days of the effective date of termination or the date of expiration, as applicable, Customer will certify in writing to Scality that the Products and all other Confidential Information in the possession of Customer have been destroyed or otherwise secured in accordance with Section 6; (b) any License rights granted by Scality under the applicable Order will immediately terminate as of the effective date of termination or the date of expiration, as applicable; (c) Customer will promptly pay all unpaid amounts accrued under the terminated or expired Order; (d) each Party shall return or destroy all Confidential Information of the other Party in its possession; and (e) Scality will have no further responsibility or liability thereunder as of the effective date of termination or the date of expiration, as applicable.

9. INDEMNITY

9.1 Scality Indemnity. Scality shall defend, indemnify, and hold Customer harmless against all costs and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), damages, and liabilities awarded to a third party arising out of any claim by a third party that the Products as delivered by Scality infringes or misappropriates, as applicable, any patent issued as of the Effective Date or any copyrights or trade secrets under applicable laws of any jurisdiction within the United States or within France, provided that Customer gives Scality (a) prompt written notice of such claim; (b) sole authority to control and direct the defense and/or settlement of such claim; and (c) such information and assistance as Scality may reasonably request, at Scality’s expense, in connection with such defense and/or settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Scality shall have no obligation or liability to the extent that the alleged infringement arises from (1) the combination, operation, or use of the Products with products, services, information, materials, technologies, business methods or processes not furnished by Scality; (2) modifications to the Products, which modifications are not made by Scality; (3) failure to use updates to the Products provided by Scality; (4) misuse of the Software or use of the Software except in accordance with the Documentation; or (5) breach of confidentiality provision (circumstances under the foregoing clauses (1), (2), (3), (4), and (5), collectively, “Customer Indemnity Responsibilities”). Upon the occurrence of any claim for which indemnity is or may be due under Section 9.2, or in the event that Scality believes that such a claim is likely, Scality may, at its option (i) appropriately modify the Product so that it becomes non-infringing, or substitute functionally equivalent software or services; (ii) obtain a license to the applicable third-party intellectual property rights; or (iii) terminate the Agreement on written notice to Customer and refund to Customer any unused license Fees under the then current Order Term(s). The obligations set forth in this Section 9 shall constitute Scality’s entire liability and Customer’s sole remedy for any actual or alleged infringement or misappropriation.

9.2 Indemnification by Customer. Customer shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Scality from and against all losses, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), damages, and liabilities awarded to a third party resulting from a claim by a third party arising from or in connection with Customer Indemnity Responsibilities. Scality agrees to give Customer (a) prompt written notice of such claim; (b) sole authority to control and direct the defense and/or settlement of such claim; and (c) such information and assistance as Customer may reasonably request, at Customer’s expense, in connection with such defense and/or settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer shall not settle any third-party claim against Scality unless such settlement completely and forever releases Scality with respect thereto or unless Scality provides its prior written consent to such settlement. In any action for which Customer provides defense on behalf of Scality, Scality may participate in such defense at its own expense by counsel of its choice.

10. LIMIT OF LIABILITY

10.1 Limitation of Liability. If Customer should become entitled to claim damages from Scality (including for breach of contract, breach of warranty, negligence or other tort claim), Scality will be liable only for the amount of Customer’s actual direct damages, not to exceed (in the aggregate for all claims) the amount paid by Customer to Scality for the specifically deployed Product that caused the liability and is the subject of the claim. In no event will Scality’s aggregate liability for all claims arising under or relating to any single Order exceed the total amount paid to Scality by Customer pursuant to such Order for the twelve (12) months prior to month in which the event giving rise to liability occurred under such Order.

10.2 Consequential Damages. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO (A) BREACHES OF CUSTOMER’S OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6 (CONFIDENTIALITY) AND SECTION 9 (INDEMNITY); AND (B) DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE TO CUSTOMER’S MISAPPROPRIATION, VIOLATION OR INFRINGEMENT OF SCALITY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY, OR SCALITY’S SUPPLIERS, BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY LOST PROFITS, DAMAGES RESULTING FROM LOSS OF DATA, SECURITY BREACH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOST REVENUE, LOST SAVINGS OR LOSS OF BUSINESS) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE AGREEMENT, THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE OR SCALITY’S PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES OR OF ANY OTHER OBLIGATIONS RELATING TO THE AGREEMENT, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

10.3 The limitations of liability set forth in this Section 10 will survive and apply notwithstanding the failure of any limited or exclusive remedy for breach of warranty set forth in the Agreement.

11. LAWS AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

11.1 Choice of Law. The Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of France, without regard to any provision of French law that would require or permit the application of the substantive law of any other jurisdiction. The Agreement will not be subject to (a) the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods; or (b) any version of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) as it is, or may be, adopted in any state.

11.2 The Parties hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Paris Courts, including in case of claim from third parties.

11.3 Informal Dispute Resolution. At the written request of either Party, the Parties will attempt to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the Agreement through the informal means described in this Section 11.2. Each Party will appoint a senior management representative who does not devote substantially all of his or her time to performance under the Agreement. The representatives will furnish to each other all non-privileged information with respect to the dispute that the Parties believe to be appropriate and germane. The representatives will negotiate in an effort to resolve the dispute without the necessity of any formal proceeding. Formal proceedings, for the resolution of the dispute may not be commenced until the earlier of: (a)the designated representatives conclude that resolution through continued negotiation does not appear likely; or (b)thirty (30) calendar days have passed since the initial request to negotiate the dispute was made; provided, however, that a Party may file earlier to avoid the expiration of any applicable limitations period, to preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors, or to apply for injunctive or equitable relief.

11.4 Compliance with Laws. Each Party, at its sole expense, will perform its obligations and exercise its rights in a manner that complies with laws. If a charge is made that a Party is not complying with any such laws, such Party will promptly notify the other Party of such charges in writing. Each Party will comply with the export laws and regulations of France and other applicable jurisdictions. Each Party will, at its sole cost and expense, obtain and maintain in effect all permits, licenses, approvals and other consents related to its obligations under the Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer will be required to obtain all permits, licenses and other consents necessary for the development and distribution of the Products contemplated by any Order. If Customer violates this Section 11.3, Scality may terminate the Agreement upon notice.

12. GENERAL

12.1 Entire Agreement. The Agreement (the Order and these Terms and Conditions) constitute the entire agreement between the Parties, and supersedes all other prior or contemporaneous communications between the Parties (whether written or oral) relating to the subject matter of the Agreement. The Agreement may be modified or amended solely in a writing signed by both Parties.

12.2 Assignment. Customer may not assign or otherwise transfer any right or obligation set forth in the Agreement (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without Scality’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld; provided, however, that Customer may assign the Agreement to any company which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Customer, or in the event of a merger, acquisition or sale of all or substantially all of the assets thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer may not assign or otherwise transfer any right or obligation set forth in the Agreement (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without Scality’s prior written consent if the assignee or transferee is a competitor of, or in competition with, Scality. Any purported assignment in violation of the preceding sentence will be void. Scality may assign all or part of its rights or obligations set forth in the Agreement (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and all sums due or to become due pursuant to the Agreement for any reason. The Agreement will be binding upon the Parties’ respective successors and permitted assigns.

12.3 Order of Precedence; Interpretation. If there is any conflict between the general terms and conditions of the Agreement and the terms contained in any Order, the Parties will attempt to read any such conflicting provisions consistently, however, in the event such a consistent reading cannot be accomplished, the Order will take precedence over such other terms solely with respect to such Order and solely with respect to such conflicting terms. The Agreement has been mutually negotiated, and is deemed to have been prepared at arm’s length at the joint direction and construction of the Parties and is to be interpreted in accordance with its terms without favor to either Party.

12.4 Notice. Any legal notice or other communication required or permitted to be made or given by either Party pursuant to the Agreement will be in writing, in French or in English, and will be deemed to have been duly given: (a)five (5) business days after the date of mailing if sent by registered mail, postage prepaid, with return receipt requested; (b)when transmitted if sent by facsimile, provided a confirmation of transmission is produced by the sending machine and a copy of the notice is promptly sent by another means specified in this Section 12.4; or (c)when delivered if delivered personally or sent by express courier service. All notices will be sent to the other Party at its address as set forth in the Order. Each party consents to receive communications from the other electronically. Scality may communicate with Customer by e-mail or posting notices on the Scality web site. Customer agrees that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that Scality provides to it electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

12.5 Severability. The provisions of the Agreement will be deemed severable, and the unenforceability of any one or more provisions will not affect the enforceability of any other provisions. In addition, if any provision of the Agreement, for any reason, is declared to be unenforceable, the Parties will substitute an enforceable provision that, to the maximum extent possible under applicable law, preserves the original intentions and economic positions of the Parties.

12.6 No Waiver. No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right, power or remedy will operate as a waiver of that right, power or remedy, and no waiver will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the waiving Party. If a Party waives any right, power or remedy, the waiver will not waive any successive or other right, power or remedy the Party may have under the Agreement.

12.7 Third Parties. Except for the suppliers of Third Party Software as contemplated in the Agreement, the Agreement is not intended nor will it be interpreted to confer any benefit, right or privilege in any person or entity not a party to the Agreement.

12.8 Marketing. Customer grants Scality the right to (a) identify Customer as a Scality Customer, and (b) with the prior approval in writing by Customer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, use Customer’s name, mark and/or logo on Scality’s website and/or in Scality marketing materials.

12.9 Excusable Delay. Except for the obligations related to Confidential Information, License rights and restrictions, and payment, neither Party is responsible for any failure to comply with the terms of the Agreement or any Order where the failure or delay is due to causes beyond the reasonable control of the Party.

12.10 Independent Relationship. The relationship established by the Agreement is solely that of licensor and licensee, and each Party will act at all times as an independent party for its own account. Neither Party may represent or hold itself out as an agent or representative of the other. Neither Party has any authority to, and is expressly prohibited from, creating or assuming any obligation on behalf of the other, and from otherwise making or extending any representation, warranty, guarantee or other commitment for or on behalf of the other.

12.11 Survival of Certain Provisions. Any provisions of the Agreement that by their nature are intended to survive any expiration or termination will survive expiration or termination of the Agreement for any reason. The terms set forth in the sections entitled License Limitations, Ownership, Confidentiality, Warranty Disclaimer, Limitation of Damages and Remedies shall survive any termination of the Agreement.

4. MAINTENANCE & SUPPORT SERVICES.

4.1 Maintenance and Support. All Maintenance and Support shall be provided under the Maintenance and Support Terms and Conditions incorporated into the Order.

4.2 Remote Monitoring and Diagnosis. The Software contains functionality that allows Scality to remotely monitor the Software, however, such functionality is neither enabled nor used unless Customer has ordered and accepted DCS. If Customer has ordered DCS, Customer hereby grants Scality the right to monitor and gain access to the Software for the limited purposes set forth in this Section and to provide DCS services. Customer acknowledges that the Software and its monitoring tools collect and transmit certain status information to Scality regarding the installation and operation of the Software. As part of Scality’s monitoring tools, there is a real-time monitoring, alarming and capacity planning solution. On the installation, the information indicates to Scality whether installation of the Software was successfully completed as well as whether the Software has encountered an error within the installation process operated by Customer. This information is collected by Scality for the purpose of evaluating and improving Software performance and installation success rate. On operation of the Software, the information concerns Software global status and its components capabilities, operations, capacity trends and health. Scality collects and remotely monitor the Software for the limited purpose of improving Software performance and service quality provided to Customer. The status information could contain personally identifiable information only if such information is included in the name of the file or folder encountered by the Software at the time it encounters an error. This information shall not be correlated with any personally identifiable information and shall not be considered as a process of personal data. The Software shall also collect and transmit to Scality other information which may be used for license administration, software analysis, and for improving software functionality. Scality shall also have a right to audit the installed Software to obtain such information, such audit to be performed remotely, if remote access is possible, and otherwise on-site; provided that if such audit is to be performed on-site, then Scality will provide reasonable advance notice of same, and such audit shall occur during normal business hours. The information collected by Scality pursuant to the present section shall not be correlated by Scality with any personally identifiable information.

5. FEES; PAYMENT

5.1 Fees. In consideration for the licenses granted to Customer and the performance of Scality’s obligations under the Agreement or the DCS, Customer shall pay to Scality, without offset or deduction, certain Fees, in such amounts as may be determined by reference to an Order. Unless otherwise provided in such Order, all such Fees shall be due and payable within thirty (30) calendar days after date of the Order for Products or the date of the Scality invoice for all other Fees. Customer will pay a late payment interest equal to the European Central Bank main refinancing operations rate plus ten (10) basis points per annum, on all amounts not paid in accordance with this Section 5.1; this interest will begin to accrue on the day after the payment due date and will accumulate on the outstanding balance on a daily basis until paid in full. Additionally, Customer will pay a flat rate recovery cost indemnity in the minimum amount of €. 40 per unpaid invoice as well as all other costs related to the collection of payments.

5.2 Special Terms for Hardware Licenses. If the Products are purchased under a Hardware License, then each time a new storage drive is added to the system (measuring it in TB capacity for usable data), the corresponding license Fee becomes due, as per Scality’s pricing policy. Customer will provide Scality a report of the actual capacity of the Customer system on a quarterly basis, including a report on the new hardware introduced during the previous quarter. Scality will “true up” accordingly the license Fees which are due on that basis and will invoice the Customer as necessary. If a given storage drive in a Customer deployment of a system containing Scality Software is being decommissioned and replaced by a new drive with a higher capacity, the purchase of a new license would become necessary, as per Scality pricing policy.

5.3 Taxes. All amounts payable under the Agreement shall exclude all applicable value added, sales, use and other taxes and all applicable export and import fees, customs duties and similar charges. Customer will be responsible for payment of all such taxes (other than taxes based on Scality’s income), fees, duties and charges, and any related penalties and interest, arising from the payment of any Fees hereunder, the grant of license rights hereunder, or the delivery of Services. Customer will make all payments required hereunder to Scality free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes. If Customer have an obligation to withhold any amounts under any law or tax regime (other than income tax), Customer will gross up the payments so that Scality receives the amount actually quoted and invoiced. If Scality has a legal obligation to pay or collect taxes for which Customer is responsible under this section, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by Customer, unless Customer provide Scality with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

5.4 Disputed Charges. Customer will pay undisputed amounts when due. If Customer disputes in good faith any amount owed by Customer, Customer may withhold such disputed amount (up to a total for all disputed amounts of the total amount owed by Customer for the three (3) immediately preceding calendar months) so long as Customer provides a written notice of dispute by the due date for the disputed amount including a detailed explanation of the basis for Customer’s dispute. If Scality does not agree with Customer’s reasons for disputing any amount, the dispute will then be resolved under Section 11.1, however, the Parties will in good faith attempt to resolve such disputes within ninety (90) days of Scality’s receipt of Customer’s notice of dispute. If the dispute on any charge is resolved in favor of Scality, such charges will be due and payable within ten (10) days of such resolution, including applicable late fees from the original due date of payment by Customer for such charges.

5.5 Assurances. If Customer fails to pay any undisputed amount when due, then in addition to assessing interest Scality may (a) terminate any or all Licenses until paid; (b) suspend some or all Services until paid, including services provided pursuant to the DCS; and/or (c) require reasonable payment assurances (“Assurances”) including pre-payment of Fees, guaranties or letters of credit and condition continuing Licenses and Services on receipt of such Assurances. Upon thirty (30) days’ notice, Scality may require Assurances as a condition to continuing to provide Licenses and Services based on any material adverse change in the financial condition of Customer.

5.6 Audit. For the term of the Agreement and one (1) year thereafter, (a) Customer will maintain all books, records, contracts and accounts relating to its use of the Products, the receipt of Services, its payment of Fees and general compliance under the Agreement, and (b) Scality will have the right, at its own expense and under reasonable conditions of time and place, to audit and copy any or all of such records; provided however, that in no event shall Scality be permitted to engage in more than two (2) audits in any given calendar year. If any such audit discloses a breach of the Agreement or underpayment of any amounts by Customer or its employees or agents, Customer will, in addition to such other rights and remedies as may be available to Scality as the result of such breach, pay to Scality the reasonable cost of such audit and copying. Scality will use information obtained from such audit only to verify and enforce Customer’s compliance with the terms of the Agreement, to comply with any governmental reporting requirements and for such other purposes as required by law.

6. CONFIDENTIALITY

6.1 Definition. The term “Confidential Information” means information that is of a confidential, proprietary, or trade secret nature and is furnished or disclosed by one Party (the “Discloser”) to the other Party (the “Recipient”) under the Agreement (including information exchanged in contemplation of entering into the Agreement) that is: (a) marked as confidential; (b) if orally or visually disclosed, identified as confidential upon disclosure; or (c) due to its character, nature, or method of transmittal, information that a reasonable person under like circumstances would treat as confidential.

6.2 Protection of Confidential Information. Each Party acknowledges that it may be furnished, receive or otherwise have access to Confidential Information of the other Party in connection with the Agreement which shall remain the property of the Discloser.

Furthermore, Recipient agrees that it will not, and will not permit a third party to, (i) copy, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble or create derivative works any Confidential Information except as specifically permitted under the Agreement or otherwise with the advance written consent of Discloser or (ii) alter, remove, or suppress any copyright, trademark, confidentiality, or other proprietary notices, marks or any legends placed, included, affixed, embedded or otherwise appearing in or on any Confidential Information, Software or Documentation or any related material; or fail to ensure that all such notices and legends appear on all full or partial copies of the Confidential Information, Software, Documentation or any related material. Recipient will notify Discloser promptly of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information and cooperate with and assist Discloser in every reasonable way to stop or minimize such unauthorized use or disclosure.

6.3 Exceptions. “Confidential Information” will not include information that: (i) is or becomes known to the public without breach of the Agreement by Recipient; (ii) is already known to or in the possession of Recipient at the time of disclosure; (iii) is independently developed by or for Recipient as evidenced by Recipient’s own files and records; (iv) is rightfully obtained by Recipient from a third party that was lawfully in possession of the information and had the right to disclose the same; or (v) the Parties mutually agree in writing to release from the terms of the Agreement. Confidential information will not be deemed to be publicly known merely because all or a portion of such information is embodied in general disclosures or because individual features and/or components (or the combination of such features and components) are or become known to the public.

6.4 Exclusions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may disclose Confidential Information to the limited extent required (a) in order to comply with the order of a court or other governmental body, or as otherwise necessary to comply with applicable law or the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, as well as to the New York Stock Exchange and any other regulator charged with the administration, oversight or enforcement of regulations applicable to any business conducted by Scality, provided that the Party making the disclosure pursuant to the order shall first have given written notice to the other Party and made a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order or otherwise maintain the confidentiality of the information to be disclosed; or (b) to establish a Party’s rights under the Agreement, including to make such court filings as it may be required to do.

7. WARRANTY

7.1 Scality Warranties. Scality represents and warrants that the Software will conform in all material respects to the Documentation for a period of ninety (90) days after the Software is delivered to Customer pursuant to the Agreement, provided that such warranty will not apply to failures to conform to the Documentation to the extent such failures arise, in whole or in part, from (a) any use of the Software other than in accordance with the Documentation, (b) modification of the Software by Customer or any third party, or (c) any combination of the Software with software, hardware or other technology not provided by Scality under the Agreement or specified by Scality as not interoperable with the Software. For all warranty claims made by Customer during the warranty period, Scality will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve, at no charge to Customer, any such non-conformities.

8.3 Effect of Termination/Expiration. If the Agreement is terminated by either Party, or otherwise expires, then (a) within ten (10) days of the effective date of termination or the date of expiration, as applicable, Customer will certify in writing to Scality that the Products and all other Confidential Information in the possession of Customer have been destroyed or otherwise secured in accordance with Section 6; (b) any License rights granted by Scality under the applicable Order will immediately terminate as of the effective date of termination or the date of expiration, as applicable; (c) Customer will promptly pay all unpaid amounts accrued under the terminated or expired Order; (d) each Party shall return or destroy all Confidential Information of the other Party in its possession; and (e) Scality will have no further responsibility or liability thereunder as of the effective date of termination or the date of expiration, as applicable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Scality shall have no obligation or liability to the extent that the alleged infringement arises from (1) the combination, operation, or use of the Products with products, services, information, materials, technologies, business methods or processes not furnished by Scality; (2) modifications to the Products, which modifications are not made by Scality; (3) failure to use updates to the Products provided by Scality; (4) misuse of the Software or use of the Software except in accordance with the Documentation; or (5) breach of confidentiality provision (circumstances under the foregoing clauses (1), (2), (3), (4), and (5), collectively, “Customer Indemnity Responsibilities”). Upon the occurrence of any claim for which indemnity is or may be due under Section 9.2, or in the event that Scality believes that such a claim is likely, Scality may, at its option (i) appropriately modify the Product so that it becomes non-infringing, or substitute functionally equivalent software or services; (ii) obtain a license to the applicable third-party intellectual property rights; or (iii) terminate the Agreement on written notice to Customer and refund to Customer any unused license Fees under the then current Order Term(s). The obligations set forth in this Section 9 shall constitute Scality’s entire liability and Customer’s sole remedy for any actual or alleged infringement or misappropriation.

9.2 Indemnification by Customer. Customer shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Scality from and against all losses, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), damages, and liabilities awarded to a third party resulting from a claim by a third party arising from or in connection with Customer Indemnity Responsibilities. Scality agrees to give Customer (a) prompt written notice of such claim; (b) sole authority to control and direct the defense and/or settlement of such claim; and (c) such information and assistance as Customer may reasonably request, at Customer’s expense, in connection with such defense and/or settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer shall not settle any third-party claim against Scality unless such settlement completely and forever releases Scality with respect thereto or unless Scality provides its prior written consent to such settlement. In any action for which Customer provides defense on behalf of Scality, Scality may participate in such defense at its own expense by counsel of its choice.

10. LIMIT OF LIABILITY

10.1 Limitation of Liability. If Customer should become entitled to claim damages from Scality (including for breach of contract, breach of warranty, negligence or other tort claim), Scality will be liable only for the amount of Customer’s actual direct damages, not to exceed (in the aggregate for all claims) the amount paid by Customer to Scality for the specifically deployed Product that caused the liability and is the subject of the claim. In no event will Scality’s aggregate liability for all claims arising under or relating to any single Order exceed the total amount paid to Scality by Customer pursuant to such Order for the twelve (12) months prior to month in which the event giving rise to liability occurred under such Order.

10.2 Consequential Damages. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO (A) BREACHES OF CUSTOMER’S OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6 (CONFIDENTIALITY) AND SECTION 9 (INDEMNITY); AND (B) DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE TO CUSTOMER’S MISAPPROPRIATION, VIOLATION OR INFRINGEMENT OF SCALITY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY, OR SCALITY’S SUPPLIERS, BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY LOST PROFITS, DAMAGES RESULTING FROM LOSS OF DATA, SECURITY BREACH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOST REVENUE, LOST SAVINGS OR LOSS OF BUSINESS) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE AGREEMENT, THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE OR SCALITY’S PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES OR OF ANY OTHER OBLIGATIONS RELATING TO THE AGREEMENT, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

10.3 The limitations of liability set forth in this Section 10 will survive and apply notwithstanding the failure of any limited or exclusive remedy for breach of warranty set forth in the Agreement.

11. LAWS AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

11.1 Choice of Law. The Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of France, without regard to any provision of French law that would require or permit the application of the substantive law of any other jurisdiction. The Agreement will not be subject to (a) the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods; or (b) any version of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) as it is, or may be, adopted in any state.

11.2 The Parties hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Paris Courts, including in case of claim from third parties.

11.3 Informal Dispute Resolution. At the written request of either Party, the Parties will attempt to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the Agreement through the informal means described in this Section 11.2. Each Party will appoint a senior management representative who does not devote substantially all of his or her time to performance under the Agreement. The representatives will furnish to each other all non-privileged information with respect to the dispute that the Parties believe to be appropriate and germane. The representatives will negotiate in an effort to resolve the dispute without the necessity of any formal proceeding. Formal proceedings, for the resolution of the dispute may not be commenced until the earlier of: (a)the designated representatives conclude that resolution through continued negotiation does not appear likely; or (b)thirty (30) calendar days have passed since the initial request to negotiate the dispute was made; provided, however, that a Party may file earlier to avoid the expiration of any applicable limitations period, to preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors, or to apply for injunctive or equitable relief.

11.4 Compliance with Laws. Each Party, at its sole expense, will perform its obligations and exercise its rights in a manner that complies with laws. If a charge is made that a Party is not complying with any such laws, such Party will promptly notify the other Party of such charges in writing. Each Party will comply with the export laws and regulations of France and other applicable jurisdictions. Each Party will, at its sole cost and expense, obtain and maintain in effect all permits, licenses, approvals and other consents related to its obligations under the Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer will be required to obtain all permits, licenses and other consents necessary for the development and distribution of the Products contemplated by any Order. If Customer violates this Section 11.3, Scality may terminate the Agreement upon notice.

12. GENERAL

12.1 Entire Agreement. The Agreement (the Order and these Terms and Conditions) constitute the entire agreement between the Parties, and supersedes all other prior or contemporaneous communications between the Parties (whether written or oral) relating to the subject matter of the Agreement. The Agreement may be modified or amended solely in a writing signed by both Parties.

12.2 Assignment. Customer may not assign or otherwise transfer any right or obligation set forth in the Agreement (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without Scality’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld; provided, however, that Customer may assign the Agreement to any company which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Customer, or in the event of a merger, acquisition or sale of all or substantially all of the assets thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer may not assign or otherwise transfer any right or obligation set forth in the Agreement (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without Scality’s prior written consent if the assignee or transferee is a competitor of, or in competition with, Scality. Any purported assignment in violation of the preceding sentence will be void. Scality may assign all or part of its rights or obligations set forth in the Agreement (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and all sums due or to become due pursuant to the Agreement for any reason. The Agreement will be binding upon the Parties’ respective successors and permitted assigns.

12.3 Order of Precedence; Interpretation. If there is any conflict between the general terms and conditions of the Agreement and the terms contained in any Order, the Parties will attempt to read any such conflicting provisions consistently, however, in the event such a consistent reading cannot be accomplished, the Order will take precedence over such other terms solely with respect to such Order and solely with respect to such conflicting terms. The Agreement has been mutually negotiated, and is deemed to have been prepared at arm’s length at the joint direction and construction of the Parties and is to be interpreted in accordance with its terms without favor to either Party.

12.4 Notice. Any legal notice or other communication required or permitted to be made or given by either Party pursuant to the Agreement will be in writing, in French or in English, and will be deemed to have been duly given: (a)five (5) business days after the date of mailing if sent by registered mail, postage prepaid, with return receipt requested; (b)when transmitted if sent by facsimile, provided a confirmation of transmission is produced by the sending machine and a copy of the notice is promptly sent by another means specified in this Section 12.4; or (c)when delivered if delivered personally or sent by express courier service. All notices will be sent to the other Party at its address as set forth in the Order. Each party consents to receive communications from the other electronically. Scality may communicate with Customer by e-mail or posting notices on the Scality web site. Customer agrees that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that Scality provides to it electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

12.5 Severability. The provisions of the Agreement will be deemed severable, and the unenforceability of any one or more provisions will not affect the enforceability of any other provisions. In addition, if any provision of the Agreement, for any reason, is declared to be unenforceable, the Parties will substitute an enforceable provision that, to the maximum extent possible under applicable law, preserves the original intentions and economic positions of the Parties.

12.6 No Waiver. No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right, power or remedy will operate as a waiver of that right, power or remedy, and no waiver will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the waiving Party. If a Party waives any right, power or remedy, the waiver will not waive any successive or other right, power or remedy the Party may have under the Agreement.

12.7 Third Parties. Except for the suppliers of Third Party Software as contemplated in the Agreement, the Agreement is not intended nor will it be interpreted to confer any benefit, right or privilege in any person or entity not a party to the Agreement.

12.8 Marketing. Customer grants Scality the right to (a) identify Customer as a Scality Customer, and (b) with the prior approval in writing by Customer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, use Customer’s name, mark and/or logo on Scality’s website and/or in Scality marketing materials.

12.9 Excusable Delay. Except for the obligations related to Confidential Information, License rights and restrictions, and payment, neither Party is responsible for any failure to comply with the terms of the Agreement or any Order where the failure or delay is due to causes beyond the reasonable control of the Party.

12.10 Independent Relationship. The relationship established by the Agreement is solely that of licensor and licensee, and each Party will act at all times as an independent party for its own account. Neither Party may represent or hold itself out as an agent or representative of the other. Neither Party has any authority to, and is expressly prohibited from, creating or assuming any obligation on behalf of the other, and from otherwise making or extending any representation, warranty, guarantee or other commitment for or on behalf of the other.

12.11 Survival of Certain Provisions. Any provisions of the Agreement that by their nature are intended to survive any expiration or termination will survive expiration or termination of the Agreement for any reason. The terms set forth in the sections entitled License Limitations, Ownership, Confidentiality, Warranty Disclaimer, Limitation of Damages and Remedies shall survive any termination of the Agreement.

4.2 Remote Monitoring and Diagnosis. The Software contains functionality that allows Scality to remotely monitor the Software, however, such functionality is neither enabled nor used unless Customer has ordered and accepted DCS. If Customer has ordered DCS, Customer hereby grants Scality the right to monitor and gain access to the Software for the limited purposes set forth in this Section and to provide DCS services. Customer acknowledges that the Software and its monitoring tools collect and transmit certain status information to Scality regarding the installation and operation of the Software. As part of Scality’s monitoring tools, there is a real-time monitoring, alarming and capacity planning solution. On the installation, the information indicates to Scality whether installation of the Software was successfully completed as well as whether the Software has encountered an error within the installation process operated by Customer. This information is collected by Scality for the purpose of evaluating and improving Software performance and installation success rate. On operation of the Software, the information concerns Software global status and its components capabilities, operations, capacity trends and health. Scality collects and remotely monitor the Software for the limited purpose of improving Software performance and service quality provided to Customer. The status information could contain personally identifiable information only if such information is included in the name of the file or folder encountered by the Software at the time it encounters an error. This information shall not be correlated with any personally identifiable information and shall not be considered as a process of personal data. The Software shall also collect and transmit to Scality other information which may be used for license administration, software analysis, and for improving software functionality. Scality shall also have a right to audit the installed Software to obtain such information, such audit to be performed remotely, if remote access is possible, and otherwise on-site; provided that if such audit is to be performed on-site, then Scality will provide reasonable advance notice of same, and such audit shall occur during normal business hours. The information collected by Scality pursuant to the present section shall not be correlated by Scality with any personally identifiable information.

5. FEES; PAYMENT

5.1 Fees. In consideration for the licenses granted to Customer and the performance of Scality’s obligations under the Agreement or the DCS, Customer shall pay to Scality, without offset or deduction, certain Fees, in such amounts as may be determined by reference to an Order. Unless otherwise provided in such Order, all such Fees shall be due and payable within thirty (30) calendar days after date of the Order for Products or the date of the Scality invoice for all other Fees. Customer will pay a late payment interest equal to the European Central Bank main refinancing operations rate plus ten (10) basis points per annum, on all amounts not paid in accordance with this Section 5.1; this interest will begin to accrue on the day after the payment due date and will accumulate on the outstanding balance on a daily basis until paid in full. Additionally, Customer will pay a flat rate recovery cost indemnity in the minimum amount of €. 40 per unpaid invoice as well as all other costs related to the collection of payments.

5.2 Special Terms for Hardware Licenses. If the Products are purchased under a Hardware License, then each time a new storage drive is added to the system (measuring it in TB capacity for usable data), the corresponding license Fee becomes due, as per Scality’s pricing policy. Customer will provide Scality a report of the actual capacity of the Customer system on a quarterly basis, including a report on the new hardware introduced during the previous quarter. Scality will “true up” accordingly the license Fees which are due on that basis and will invoice the Customer as necessary. If a given storage drive in a Customer deployment of a system containing Scality Software is being decommissioned and replaced by a new drive with a higher capacity, the purchase of a new license would become necessary, as per Scality pricing policy.

5.3 Taxes. All amounts payable under the Agreement shall exclude all applicable value added, sales, use and other taxes and all applicable export and import fees, customs duties and similar charges. Customer will be responsible for payment of all such taxes (other than taxes based on Scality’s income), fees, duties and charges, and any related penalties and interest, arising from the payment of any Fees hereunder, the grant of license rights hereunder, or the delivery of Services. Customer will make all payments required hereunder to Scality free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes. If Customer have an obligation to withhold any amounts under any law or tax regime (other than income tax), Customer will gross up the payments so that Scality receives the amount actually quoted and invoiced. If Scality has a legal obligation to pay or collect taxes for which Customer is responsible under this section, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by Customer, unless Customer provide Scality with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

5.4 Disputed Charges. Customer will pay undisputed amounts when due. If Customer disputes in good faith any amount owed by Customer, Customer may withhold such disputed amount (up to a total for all disputed amounts of the total amount owed by Customer for the three (3) immediately preceding calendar months) so long as Customer provides a written notice of dispute by the due date for the disputed amount including a detailed explanation of the basis for Customer’s dispute. If Scality does not agree with Customer’s reasons for disputing any amount, the dispute will then be resolved under Section 11.1, however, the Parties will in good faith attempt to resolve such disputes within ninety (90) days of Scality’s receipt of Customer’s notice of dispute. If the dispute on any charge is resolved in favor of Scality, such charges will be due and payable within ten (10) days of such resolution, including applicable late fees from the original due date of payment by Customer for such charges.

5.5 Assurances. If Customer fails to pay any undisputed amount when due, then in addition to assessing interest Scality may (a) terminate any or all Licenses until paid; (b) suspend some or all Services until paid, including services provided pursuant to the DCS; and/or (c) require reasonable payment assurances (“Assurances”) including pre-payment of Fees, guaranties or letters of credit and condition continuing Licenses and Services on receipt of such Assurances. Upon thirty (30) days’ notice, Scality may require Assurances as a condition to continuing to provide Licenses and Services based on any material adverse change in the financial condition of Customer.

5.6 Audit. For the term of the Agreement and one (1) year thereafter, (a) Customer will maintain all books, records, contracts and accounts relating to its use of the Products, the receipt of Services, its payment of Fees and general compliance under the Agreement, and (b) Scality will have the right, at its own expense and under reasonable conditions of time and place, to audit and copy any or all of such records; provided however, that in no event shall Scality be permitted to engage in more than two (2) audits in any given calendar year. If any such audit discloses a breach of the Agreement or underpayment of any amounts by Customer or its employees or agents, Customer will, in addition to such other rights and remedies as may be available to Scality as the result of such breach, pay to Scality the reasonable cost of such audit and copying. Scality will use information obtained from such audit only to verify and enforce Customer’s compliance with the terms of the Agreement, to comply with any governmental reporting requirements and for such other purposes as required by law.

6. CONFIDENTIALITY

6.1 Definition. The term “Confidential Information” means information that is of a confidential, proprietary, or trade secret nature and is furnished or disclosed by one Party (the “Discloser”) to the other Party (the “Recipient”) under the Agreement (including information exchanged in contemplation of entering into the Agreement) that is: (a) marked as confidential; (b) if orally or visually disclosed, identified as confidential upon disclosure; or (c) due to its character, nature, or method of transmittal, information that a reasonable person under like circumstances would treat as confidential.

6.2 Protection of Confidential Information. Each Party acknowledges that it may be furnished, receive or otherwise have access to Confidential Information of the other Party in connection with the Agreement which shall remain the property of the Discloser. Each Party agrees that Confidential Information received from the other Party: (a) will only be used as necessary to achieve the purposes and objectives of the Agreement; (b) will not be disclosed to any third party without prior written approval of Discloser; (c) may only be disclosed within the receiving organization on a “need-to-know” basis to persons who have been advised of the existence of the Agreement and agree to be bound by its terms; and (d) will be treated with at least the same degree of care as Recipient treats its own Confidential Information, but in no event with less than a reasonable degree of care. Furthermore, Recipient agrees that it will not, and will not permit a third party to, (i) copy, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble or create derivative works any Confidential Information except as specifically permitted under the Agreement or otherwise with the advance written consent of Discloser or (ii) alter, remove, or suppress any copyright, trademark, confidentiality, or other proprietary notices, marks or any legends placed, included, affixed, embedded or otherwise appearing in or on any Confidential Information, Software or Documentation or any related material; or fail to ensure that all such notices and legends appear on all full or partial copies of the Confidential Information, Software, Documentation or any related material. Recipient will notify Discloser promptly of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information and cooperate with and assist Discloser in every reasonable way to stop or minimize such unauthorized use or disclosure.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Scality shall have no obligation or liability to the extent that the alleged infringement arises from (1) the combination, operation, or use of the Products with products, services, information, materials, technologies, business methods or processes not furnished by Scality; (2) modifications to the Products, which modifications are not made by Scality; (3) failure to use updates to the Products provided by Scality; (4) misuse of the Software or use of the Software except in accordance with the Documentation; or (5) breach of confidentiality provision (circumstances under the foregoing clauses (1), (2), (3), (4), and (5), collectively, “Customer Indemnity Responsibilities”). Upon the occurrence of any claim for which indemnity is or may be due under Section 9.2, or in the event that Scality believes that such a claim is likely, Scality may, at its option (i) appropriately modify the Product so that it becomes non-infringing, or substitute functionally equivalent software or services; (ii) obtain a license to the applicable third-party intellectual property rights; or (iii) terminate the Agreement on written notice to Customer and refund to Customer any unused license Fees under the then current Order Term(s). The obligations set forth in this Section 9 shall constitute Scality’s entire liability and Customer’s sole remedy for any actual or alleged infringement or misappropriation.

In any action for which Customer provides defense on behalf of Scality, Scality may participate in such defense at its own expense by counsel of its choice.

10. LIMIT OF LIABILITY

10.1 Limitation of Liability. If Customer should become entitled to claim damages from Scality (including for breach of contract, breach of warranty, negligence or other tort claim), Scality will be liable only for the amount of Customer’s actual direct damages, not to exceed (in the aggregate for all claims) the amount paid by Customer to Scality for the specifically deployed Product that caused the liability and is the subject of the claim. In no event will Scality’s aggregate liability for all claims arising under or relating to any single Order exceed the total amount paid to Scality by Customer pursuant to such Order for the twelve (12) months prior to month in which the event giving rise to liability occurred under such Order.

10.2 Consequential Damages. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO (A) BREACHES OF CUSTOMER’S OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6 (CONFIDENTIALITY) AND SECTION 9 (INDEMNITY); AND (B) DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE TO CUSTOMER’S MISAPPROPRIATION, VIOLATION OR INFRINGEMENT OF SCALITY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY, OR SCALITY’S SUPPLIERS, BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY LOST PROFITS, DAMAGES RESULTING FROM LOSS OF DATA, SECURITY BREACH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOST REVENUE, LOST SAVINGS OR LOSS OF BUSINESS) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE AGREEMENT, THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE OR SCALITY’S PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES OR OF ANY OTHER OBLIGATIONS RELATING TO THE AGREEMENT, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

10.3 The limitations of liability set forth in this Section 10 will survive and apply notwithstanding the failure of any limited or exclusive remedy for breach of warranty set forth in the Agreement.

11. LAWS AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

11.1 Choice of Law. The Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of France, without regard to any provision of French law that would require or permit the application of the substantive law of any other jurisdiction. The Agreement will not be subject to (a) the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods; or (b) any version of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) as it is, or may be, adopted in any state.

11.2 The Parties hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Paris Courts, including in case of claim from third parties.

11.3 Informal Dispute Resolution. At the written request of either Party, the Parties will attempt to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the Agreement through the informal means described in this Section 11.2. Each Party will appoint a senior management representative who does not devote substantially all of his or her time to performance under the Agreement. The representatives will furnish to each other all non-privileged information with respect to the dispute that the Parties believe to be appropriate and germane. The representatives will negotiate in an effort to resolve the dispute without the necessity of any formal proceeding. Formal proceedings, for the resolution of the dispute may not be commenced until the earlier of: (a)the designated representatives conclude that resolution through continued negotiation does not appear likely; or (b)thirty (30) calendar days have passed since the initial request to negotiate the dispute was made; provided, however, that a Party may file earlier to avoid the expiration of any applicable limitations period, to preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors, or to apply for injunctive or equitable relief.

11.4 Compliance with Laws. Each Party, at its sole expense, will perform its obligations and exercise its rights in a manner that complies with laws. If a charge is made that a Party is not complying with any such laws, such Party will promptly notify the other Party of such charges in writing. Each Party will comply with the export laws and regulations of France and other applicable jurisdictions. Each Party will, at its sole cost and expense, obtain and maintain in effect all permits, licenses, approvals and other consents related to its obligations under the Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer will be required to obtain all permits, licenses and other consents necessary for the development and distribution of the Products contemplated by any Order. If Customer violates this Section 11.3, Scality may terminate the Agreement upon notice.

12. GENERAL

12.1 Entire Agreement. The Agreement (the Order and these Terms and Conditions) constitute the entire agreement between the Parties, and supersedes all other prior or contemporaneous communications between the Parties (whether written or oral) relating to the subject matter of the Agreement. The Agreement may be modified or amended solely in a writing signed by both Parties.

12.2 Assignment. Customer may not assign or otherwise transfer any right or obligation set forth in the Agreement (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without Scality’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld; provided, however, that Customer may assign the Agreement to any company which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Customer, or in the event of a merger, acquisition or sale of all or substantially all of the assets thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer may not assign or otherwise transfer any right or obligation set forth in the Agreement (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without Scality’s prior written consent if the assignee or transferee is a competitor of, or in competition with, Scality. Any purported assignment in violation of the preceding sentence will be void. Scality may assign all or part of its rights or obligations set forth in the Agreement (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and all sums due or to become due pursuant to the Agreement for any reason. The Agreement will be binding upon the Parties’ respective successors and permitted assigns.

12.3 Order of Precedence; Interpretation. If there is any conflict between the general terms and conditions of the Agreement and the terms contained in any Order, the Parties will attempt to read any such conflicting provisions consistently, however, in the event such a consistent reading cannot be accomplished, the Order will take precedence over such other terms solely with respect to such Order and solely with respect to such conflicting terms. The Agreement has been mutually negotiated, and is deemed to have been prepared at arm’s length at the joint direction and construction of the Parties and is to be interpreted in accordance with its terms without favor to either Party.

12.4 Notice. Any legal notice or other communication required or permitted to be made or given by either Party pursuant to the Agreement will be in writing, in French or in English, and will be deemed to have been duly given: (a)five (5) business days after the date of mailing if sent by registered mail, postage prepaid, with return receipt requested; (b)when transmitted if sent by facsimile, provided a confirmation of transmission is produced by the sending machine and a copy of the notice is promptly sent by another means specified in this Section 12.4; or (c)when delivered if delivered personally or sent by express courier service. All notices will be sent to the other Party at its address as set forth in the Order. Each party consents to receive communications from the other electronically. Scality may communicate with Customer by e-mail or posting notices on the Scality web site. Customer agrees that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that Scality provides to it electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

12.5 Severability. The provisions of the Agreement will be deemed severable, and the unenforceability of any one or more provisions will not affect the enforceability of any other provisions. In addition, if any provision of the Agreement, for any reason, is declared to be unenforceable, the Parties will substitute an enforceable provision that, to the maximum extent possible under applicable law, preserves the original intentions and economic positions of the Parties.

12.6 No Waiver. No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right, power or remedy will operate as a waiver of that right, power or remedy, and no waiver will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the waiving Party. If a Party waives any right, power or remedy, the waiver will not waive any successive or other right, power or remedy the Party may have under the Agreement.

12.7 Third Parties. Except for the suppliers of Third Party Software as contemplated in the Agreement, the Agreement is not intended nor will it be interpreted to confer any benefit, right or privilege in any person or entity not a party to the Agreement.

12.8 Marketing. Customer grants Scality the right to (a) identify Customer as a Scality Customer, and (b) with the prior approval in writing by Customer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, use Customer’s name, mark and/or logo on Scality’s website and/or in Scality marketing materials.

12.9 Excusable Delay. Except for the obligations related to Confidential Information, License rights and restrictions, and payment, neither Party is responsible for any failure to comply with the terms of the Agreement or any Order where the failure or delay is due to causes beyond the reasonable control of the Party.

12.10 Independent Relationship. The relationship established by the Agreement is solely that of licensor and licensee, and each Party will act at all times as an independent party for its own account. Neither Party may represent or hold itself out as an agent or representative of the other. Neither Party has any authority to, and is expressly prohibited from, creating or assuming any obligation on behalf of the other, and from otherwise making or extending any representation, warranty, guarantee or other commitment for or on behalf of the other.

12.11 Survival of Certain Provisions. Any provisions of the Agreement that by their nature are intended to survive any expiration or termination will survive expiration or termination of the Agreement for any reason. The terms set forth in the sections entitled License Limitations, Ownership, Confidentiality, Warranty Disclaimer, Limitation of Damages and Remedies shall survive any termination of the Agreement.

4. MAINTENANCE & SUPPORT SERVICES.

4.1 Maintenance and Support. All Maintenance and Support shall be provided under the Maintenance and Support Terms and Conditions incorporated into the Order.

4.2 Remote Monitoring and Diagnosis. The Software contains functionality that allows Scality to remotely monitor the Software, however, such functionality is neither enabled nor used unless Customer has ordered and accepted DCS. If Customer has ordered DCS, Customer hereby grants Scality the right to monitor and gain access to the Software for the limited purposes set forth in this Section and to provide DCS services. Customer acknowledges that the Software and its monitoring tools collect and transmit certain status information to Scality regarding the installation and operation of the Software. As part of Scality’s monitoring tools, there is a real-time monitoring, alarming and capacity planning solution. On the installation, the information indicates to Scality whether installation of the Software was successfully completed as well as whether the Software has encountered an error within the installation process operated by Customer. This information is collected by Scality for the purpose of evaluating and improving Software performance and installation success rate. On operation of the Software, the information concerns Software global status and its components capabilities, operations, capacity trends and health. Scality collects and remotely monitor the Software for the limited purpose of improving Software performance and service quality provided to Customer. The status information could contain personally identifiable information only if such information is included in the name of the file or folder encountered by the Software at the time it encounters an error. This information shall not be correlated with any personally identifiable information and shall not be considered as a process of personal data. The Software shall also collect and transmit to Scality other information which may be used for license administration, software analysis, and for improving software functionality. Scality shall also have a right to audit the installed Software to obtain such information, such audit to be performed remotely, if remote access is possible, and otherwise on-site; provided that if such audit is to be performed on-site, then Scality will provide reasonable advance notice of same, and such audit shall occur during normal business hours. The information collected by Scality pursuant to the present section shall not be correlated by Scality with any personally identifiable information.

5. FEES; PAYMENT

5.1 Fees. In consideration for the licenses granted to Customer and the performance of Scality’s obligations under the Agreement or the DCS, Customer shall pay to Scality, without offset or deduction, certain Fees, in such amounts as may be determined by reference to an Order. Unless otherwise provided in such Order, all such Fees shall be due and payable within thirty (30) calendar days after date of the Order for Products or the date of the Scality invoice for all other Fees. Customer will pay a late payment interest equal to the European Central Bank main refinancing operations rate plus ten (10) basis points per annum, on all amounts not paid in accordance with this Section 5.1; this interest will begin to accrue on the day after the payment due date and will accumulate on the outstanding balance on a daily basis until paid in full. Additionally, Customer will pay a flat rate recovery cost indemnity in the minimum amount of €. 40 per unpaid invoice as well as all other costs related to the collection of payments.

5.2 Special Terms for Hardware Licenses. If the Products are purchased under a Hardware License, then each time a new storage drive is added to the system (measuring it in TB capacity for usable data), the corresponding license Fee becomes due, as per Scality’s pricing policy. Customer will provide Scality a report of the actual capacity of the Customer system on a quarterly basis, including a report on the new hardware introduced during the previous quarter. Scality will “true up” accordingly the license Fees which are due on that basis and will invoice the Customer as necessary. If a given storage drive in a Customer deployment of a system containing Scality Software is being decommissioned and replaced by a new drive with a higher capacity, the purchase of a new license would become necessary, as per Scality pricing policy.

5.3 Taxes. All amounts payable under the Agreement shall exclude all applicable value added, sales, use and other taxes and all applicable export and import fees, customs duties and similar charges. Customer will be responsible for payment of all such taxes (other than taxes based on Scality’s income), fees, duties and charges, and any related penalties and interest, arising from the payment of any Fees hereunder, the grant of license rights hereunder, or the delivery of Services. Customer will make all payments required hereunder to Scality free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes. If Customer have an obligation to withhold any amounts under any law or tax regime (other than income tax), Customer will gross up the payments so that Scality receives the amount actually quoted and invoiced. If Scality has a legal obligation to pay or collect taxes for which Customer is responsible under this section, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by Customer, unless Customer provide Scality with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

5.4 Disputed Charges. Customer will pay undisputed amounts when due. If Customer disputes in good faith any amount owed by Customer, Customer may withhold such disputed amount (up to a total for all disputed amounts of the total amount owed by Customer for the three (3) immediately preceding calendar months) so long as Customer provides a written notice of dispute by the due date for the disputed amount including a detailed explanation of the basis for Customer’s dispute. If Scality does not agree with Customer’s reasons for disputing any amount, the dispute will then be resolved under Section 11.1, however, the Parties will in good faith attempt to resolve such disputes within ninety (90) days of Scality’s receipt of Customer’s notice of dispute. If the dispute on any charge is resolved in favor of Scality, such charges will be due and payable within ten (10) days of such resolution, including applicable late fees from the original due date of payment by Customer for such charges.

5.5 Assurances. If Customer fails to pay any undisputed amount when due, then in addition to assessing interest Scality may (a) terminate any or all Licenses until paid; (b) suspend some or all Services until paid, including services provided pursuant to the DCS; and/or (c) require reasonable payment assurances (“Assurances”) including pre-payment of Fees, guaranties or letters of credit and condition continuing Licenses and Services on receipt of such Assurances. Upon thirty (30) days’ notice, Scality may require Assurances as a condition to continuing to provide Licenses and Services based on any material adverse change in the financial condition of Customer.

5.6 Audit. For the term of the Agreement and one (1) year thereafter, (a) Customer will maintain all books, records, contracts and accounts relating to its use of the Products, the receipt of Services, its payment of Fees and general compliance under the Agreement, and (b) Scality will have the right, at its own expense and under reasonable conditions of time and place, to audit and copy any or all of such records; provided however, that in no event shall Scality be permitted to engage in more than two (2) audits in any given calendar year. If any such audit discloses a breach of the Agreement or underpayment of any amounts by Customer or its employees or agents, Customer will, in addition to such other rights and remedies as may be available to Scality as the result of such breach, pay to Scality the reasonable cost of such audit and copying. Scality will use information obtained from such audit only to verify and enforce Customer’s compliance with the terms of the Agreement, to comply with any governmental reporting requirements and for such other purposes as required by law.

6. CONFIDENTIALITY

6.1 Definition. The term “Confidential Information” means information that is of a confidential, proprietary, or trade secret nature and is furnished or disclosed by one Party (the “Discloser”) to the other Party (the “Recipient”) under the Agreement (including information exchanged in contemplation of entering into the Agreement) that is: (a) marked as confidential; (b) if orally or visually disclosed, identified as confidential upon disclosure; or (c) due to its character, nature, or method of transmittal, information that a reasonable person under like circumstances would treat as confidential.

6.2 Protection of Confidential Information. Each Party acknowledges that it may be furnished, receive or otherwise have access to Confidential Information of the other Party in connection with the Agreement which shall remain the property of the Discloser. Each Party agrees that Confidential Information received from the other Party: (a) will only be used as necessary to achieve the purposes and objectives of the Agreement; (b) will not be disclosed to any third party without prior written approval of Discloser; (c) may only be disclosed within the receiving organization on a “need-to-know” basis to persons who have been advised of the existence of the Agreement and agree to be bound by its terms; and (d) will be treated with at least the same degree of care as Recipient treats its own Confidential Information, but in no event with less than a reasonable degree of care. Furthermore, Recipient agrees that it will not, and will not permit a third party to, (i) copy, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble or create derivative works any Confidential Information except as specifically permitted under the Agreement or otherwise with the advance written consent of Discloser or (ii) alter, remove, or suppress any copyright, trademark, confidentiality, or other proprietary notices, marks or any legends placed, included, affixed, embedded or otherwise appearing in or on any Confidential Information, Software or Documentation or any related material; or fail to ensure that all such notices and legends appear on all full or partial copies of the Confidential Information, Software, Documentation or any related material. Recipient will notify Discloser promptly of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information and cooperate with and assist Discloser in every reasonable way to stop or minimize such unauthorized use or disclosure.

6.3 Exceptions. “Confidential Information” will not include information that: (i) is or becomes known to the public without breach of the Agreement by Recipient; (ii) is already known to or in the possession of Recipient at the time of disclosure; (iii) is independently developed by or for Recipient as evidenced by Recipient’s own files and records; (iv) is rightfully obtained by Recipient from a third party that was lawfully in possession of the information and had the right to disclose the same; or (v) the Parties mutually agree in writing to release from the terms of the Agreement. Confidential information will not be deemed to be publicly known merely because all or a portion of such information is embodied in general disclosures or because individual features and/or components (or the combination of such features and components) are or become known to the public.

6.4 Exclusions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may disclose Confidential Information to the limited extent required (a) in order to comply with the order of a court or other governmental body, or as otherwise necessary to comply with applicable law or the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, as well as to the New York Stock Exchange and any other regulator charged with the administration, oversight or enforcement of regulations applicable to any business conducted by Scality, provided that the Party making the disclosure pursuant to the order shall first have given written notice to the other Party and made a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order or otherwise maintain the confidentiality of the information to be disclosed; or (b) to establish a Party’s rights under the Agreement, including to make such court filings as it may be required to do.

7. WARRANTY

7.1 Scality Warranties. Scality represents and warrants that the Software will conform in all material respects to the Documentation for a period of ninety (90) days after the Software is delivered to Customer pursuant to the Agreement, provided that such warranty will not apply to failures to conform to the Documentation to the extent such failures arise, in whole or in part, from (a) any use of the Software other than in accordance with the Documentation, (b) modification of the Software by Customer or any third party, or (c) any combination of the Software with software, hardware or other technology not provided by Scality under the Agreement or specified by Scality as not interoperable with the Software. For all warranty claims made by Customer during the warranty period, Scality will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve, at no charge to Customer, any such non-conformities. This is Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for a breach of this warranty.

7.2 Disclaimer of Warranties. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY WARRANTED IN SECTION 7.1 OF THE AGREEMENT, THE PRODUCTS, AND ANY OTHER MATERIALS (INCLUDING THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE) AND/OR SERVICES PROVIDED BY SCALITY ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS,” AND SCALITY AND THEIR SUPPLIERS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTIES OF QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY OF DATA, AS WELL AS ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SYSTEM INTEGRATION, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR THE ABSENCE OF ANY DEFECTS THEREIN, WHETHER LATENT OR PATENT. NO WARRANTY IS MADE BY SCALITY ON THE BASIS OF TRADE USAGE, COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF TRADE. SCALITY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER THE AGREEMENT WILL MEET CUSTOMER’S REQUIREMENTS OR THAT THE OPERATION THEREOF WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ALL ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED.

8. TERM AND TERMINATION

8.1 Term. The Agreement shall become effective upon the Effective Date and shall remain in full force and effect until the expiration or termination of all Terms set forth in the Order into which these Terms and Conditions were incorporated unless terminated earlier as provided for under the Agreement.

8.2 Termination by Either Party. A Party may terminate the Agreement if the other Party is in breach of any material obligation under the Agreement and fails to remedy such failure or breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such breach from the non-breaching Party, including, but not limited to failure to timely pay the Fees.

8.3 Effect of Termination/Expiration. If the Agreement is terminated by either Party, or otherwise expires, then (a) within ten (10) days of the effective date of termination or the date of expiration, as applicable, Customer will certify in writing to Scality that the Products and all other Confidential Information in the possession of Customer have been destroyed or otherwise secured in accordance with Section 6; (b) any License rights granted by Scality under the applicable Order will immediately terminate as of the effective date of termination or the date of expiration, as applicable; (c) Customer will promptly pay all unpaid amounts accrued under the terminated or expired Order; (d) each Party shall return or destroy all Confidential Information of the other Party in its possession; and (e) Scality will have no further responsibility or liability thereunder as of the effective date of termination or the date of expiration, as applicable.

9. INDEMNITY

9.1 Scality Indemnity. Scality shall defend, indemnify, and hold Customer harmless against all costs and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), damages, and liabilities awarded to a third party arising out of any claim by a third party that the Products as delivered by Scality infringes or misappropriates, as applicable, any patent issued as of the Effective Date or any copyrights or trade secrets under applicable laws of any jurisdiction within the United States or within France, provided that Customer gives Scality (a) prompt written notice of such claim; (b) sole authority to control and direct the defense and/or settlement of such claim; and (c) such information and assistance as Scality may reasonably request, at Scality’s expense, in connection with such defense and/or settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Scality shall have no obligation or liability to the extent that the alleged infringement arises from (1) the combination, operation, or use of the Products with products, services, information, materials, technologies, business methods or processes not furnished by Scality; (2) modifications to the Products, which modifications are not made by Scality; (3) failure to use updates to the Products provided by Scality; (4) misuse of the Software or use of the Software except in accordance with the Documentation; or (5) breach of confidentiality provision (circumstances under the foregoing clauses (1), (2), (3), (4), and (5), collectively, “Customer Indemnity Responsibilities”). Upon the occurrence of any claim for which indemnity is or may be due under Section 9.2, or in the event that Scality believes that such a claim is likely, Scality may, at its option (i) appropriately modify the Product so that it becomes non-infringing, or substitute functionally equivalent software or services; (ii) obtain a license to the applicable third-party intellectual property rights; or (iii) terminate the Agreement on written notice to Customer and refund to Customer any unused license Fees under the then current Order Term(s). The obligations set forth in this Section 9 shall constitute Scality’s entire liability and Customer’s sole remedy for any actual or alleged infringement or misappropriation.

9.2 Indemnification by Customer. Customer shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Scality from and against all losses, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), damages, and liabilities awarded to a third party resulting from a claim by a third party arising from or in connection with Customer Indemnity Responsibilities. Scality agrees to give Customer (a) prompt written notice of such claim; (b) sole authority to control and direct the defense and/or settlement of such claim; and (c) such information and assistance as Customer may reasonably request, at Customer’s expense, in connection with such defense and/or settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer shall not settle any third-party claim against Scality unless such settlement completely and forever releases Scality with respect thereto or unless Scality provides its prior written consent to such settlement. In any action for which Customer provides defense on behalf of Scality, Scality may participate in such defense at its own expense by counsel of its choice.

10. LIMIT OF LIABILITY

10.1 Limitation of Liability. If Customer should become entitled to claim damages from Scality (including for breach of contract, breach of warranty, negligence or other tort claim), Scality will be liable only for the amount of Customer’s actual direct damages, not to exceed (in the aggregate for all claims) the amount paid by Customer to Scality for the specifically deployed Product that caused the liability and is the subject of the claim. In no event will Scality’s aggregate liability for all claims arising under or relating to any single Order exceed the total amount paid to Scality by Customer pursuant to such Order for the twelve (12) months prior to month in which the event giving rise to liability occurred under such Order.

10.2 Consequential Damages. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO (A) BREACHES OF CUSTOMER’S OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6 (CONFIDENTIALITY) AND SECTION 9 (INDEMNITY); AND (B) DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE TO CUSTOMER’S MISAPPROPRIATION, VIOLATION OR INFRINGEMENT OF SCALITY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY, OR SCALITY’S SUPPLIERS, BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY LOST PROFITS, DAMAGES RESULTING FROM LOSS OF DATA, SECURITY BREACH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOST REVENUE, LOST SAVINGS OR LOSS OF BUSINESS) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE AGREEMENT, THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE OR SCALITY’S PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES OR OF ANY OTHER OBLIGATIONS RELATING TO THE AGREEMENT, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

10.3 The limitations of liability set forth in this Section 10 will survive and apply notwithstanding the failure of any limited or exclusive remedy for breach of warranty set forth in the Agreement.

11. LAWS AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

11.1 Choice of Law. The Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of France, without regard to any provision of French law that would require or permit the application of the substantive law of any other jurisdiction. The Agreement will not be subject to (a) the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods; or (b) any version of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) as it is, or may be, adopted in any state.

11.2 The Parties hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Paris Courts, including in case of claim from third parties.

11.3 Informal Dispute Resolution. At the written request of either Party, the Parties will attempt to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the Agreement through the informal means described in this Section 11.2. Each Party will appoint a senior management representative who does not devote substantially all of his or her time to performance under the Agreement. The representatives will furnish to each other all non-privileged information with respect to the dispute that the Parties believe to be appropriate and germane. The representatives will negotiate in an effort to resolve the dispute without the necessity of any formal proceeding. Formal proceedings, for the resolution of the dispute may not be commenced until the earlier of: (a)the designated representatives conclude that resolution through continued negotiation does not appear likely; or (b)thirty (30) calendar days have passed since the initial request to negotiate the dispute was made; provided, however, that a Party may file earlier to avoid the expiration of any applicable limitations period, to preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors, or to apply for injunctive or equitable relief.

11.4 Compliance with Laws. Each Party, at its sole expense, will perform its obligations and exercise its rights in a manner that complies with laws. If a charge is made that a Party is not complying with any such laws, such Party will promptly notify the other Party of such charges in writing. Each Party will comply with the export laws and regulations of France and other applicable jurisdictions. Each Party will, at its sole cost and expense, obtain and maintain in effect all permits, licenses, approvals and other consents related to its obligations under the Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer will be required to obtain all permits, licenses and other consents necessary for the development and distribution of the Products contemplated by any Order. If Customer violates this Section 11.3, Scality may terminate the Agreement upon notice.

12. GENERAL

12.1 Entire Agreement. The Agreement (the Order and these Terms and Conditions) constitute the entire agreement between the Parties, and supersedes all other prior or contemporaneous communications between the Parties (whether written or oral) relating to the subject matter of the Agreement. The Agreement may be modified or amended solely in a writing signed by both Parties.

12.2 Assignment. Customer may not assign or otherwise transfer any right or obligation set forth in the Agreement (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without Scality’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld; provided, however, that Customer may assign the Agreement to any company which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Customer, or in the event of a merger, acquisition or sale of all or substantially all of the assets thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer may not assign or otherwise transfer any right or obligation set forth in the Agreement (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without Scality’s prior written consent if the assignee or transferee is a competitor of, or in competition with, Scality. Any purported assignment in violation of the preceding sentence will be void. Scality may assign all or part of its rights or obligations set forth in the Agreement (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and all sums due or to become due pursuant to the Agreement for any reason. The Agreement will be binding upon the Parties’ respective successors and permitted assigns.

12.3 Order of Precedence; Interpretation. If there is any conflict between the general terms and conditions of the Agreement and the terms contained in any Order, the Parties will attempt to read any such conflicting provisions consistently, however, in the event such a consistent reading cannot be accomplished, the Order will take precedence over such other terms solely with respect to such Order and solely with respect to such conflicting terms. The Agreement has been mutually negotiated, and is deemed to have been prepared at arm’s length at the joint direction and construction of the Parties and is to be interpreted in accordance with its terms without favor to either Party.

12.4 Notice. Any legal notice or other communication required or permitted to be made or given by either Party pursuant to the Agreement will be in writing, in French or in English, and will be deemed to have been duly given: (a)five (5) business days after the date of mailing if sent by registered mail, postage prepaid, with return receipt requested; (b)when transmitted if sent by facsimile, provided a confirmation of transmission is produced by the sending machine and a copy of the notice is promptly sent by another means specified in this Section 12.4; or (c)when delivered if delivered personally or sent by express courier service. All notices will be sent to the other Party at its address as set forth in the Order. Each party consents to receive communications from the other electronically. Scality may communicate with Customer by e-mail or posting notices on the Scality web site. Customer agrees that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that Scality provides to it electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

12.5 Severability. The provisions of the Agreement will be deemed severable, and the unenforceability of any one or more provisions will not affect the enforceability of any other provisions. In addition, if any provision of the Agreement, for any reason, is declared to be unenforceable, the Parties will substitute an enforceable provision that, to the maximum extent possible under applicable law, preserves the original intentions and economic positions of the Parties.

12.6 No Waiver. No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right, power or remedy will operate as a waiver of that right, power or remedy, and no waiver will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the waiving Party. If a Party waives any right, power or remedy, the waiver will not waive any successive or other right, power or remedy the Party may have under the Agreement.

12.7 Third Parties. Except for the suppliers of Third Party Software as contemplated in the Agreement, the Agreement is not intended nor will it be interpreted to confer any benefit, right or privilege in any person or entity not a party to the Agreement.

12.8 Marketing. Customer grants Scality the right to (a) identify Customer as a Scality Customer, and (b) with the prior approval in writing by Customer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, use Customer’s name, mark and/or logo on Scality’s website and/or in Scality marketing materials.

12.9 Excusable Delay. Except for the obligations related to Confidential Information, License rights and restrictions, and payment, neither Party is responsible for any failure to comply with the terms of the Agreement or any Order where the failure or delay is due to causes beyond the reasonable control of the Party.

12.10 Independent Relationship. The relationship established by the Agreement is solely that of licensor and licensee, and each Party will act at all times as an independent party for its own account. Neither Party may represent or hold itself out as an agent or representative of the other. Neither Party has any authority to, and is expressly prohibited from, creating or assuming any obligation on behalf of the other, and from otherwise making or extending any representation, warranty, guarantee or other commitment for or on behalf of the other.

12.11 Survival of Certain Provisions. Any provisions of the Agreement that by their nature are intended to survive any expiration or termination will survive expiration or termination of the Agreement for any reason. The terms set forth in the sections entitled License Limitations, Ownership, Confidentiality, Warranty Disclaimer, Limitation of Damages and Remedies shall survive any termination of the Agreement.

Effective starting: November 14, 2017

Scality – Maintenance and Support Services Terms and Conditions

These Maintenance and Support Services Terms and Conditions (the “Maintenance Terms”) are part of that certain Software License Order Form (the “Order”), being incorporated in the Order by reference.

1. ADDITIONAL DEFINITIONS 

Certain capitalized terms used in these Maintenance Terms, not otherwise defined in the Software License Agreement – Terms and Conditions (the “Software Terms and Conditions”), which are also incorporated by reference into the Order, shall have the meanings set forth or cross-referenced below. Capitalized terms used in these Maintenance Terms that are not otherwise defined in these Maintenance Terms have the meaning set forth in the Software Terms and Conditions or Order. In these Maintenance Terms, “Agreement” refers to the Order and the Software Terms and Conditions.

1.1 “Covered Software” means, collectively, any proprietary Software application(s) of Scality for which licenses have been granted to Customer pursuant to the Agreement for a particular Supported Platform, provided that any particular Covered Software application shall remain a Covered Software only for so long as Customer continues to have such license rights under the relevant Agreement and only for the Supported Platform identified on the Order. The Customer is responsible for identifying all Covered Software and the Supported Platform (i.e., hardware and operating system) on which it is operating as of the beginning of the Maintenance and Support Services. If the Supported Platform information has not been communicated to Scality and is not kept up-to-date by Customer in communications to Scality all along the life of the Maintenance and Support Services, then Scality will not have any obligations to provide support or maintenance under the terms of these Maintenance Terms.

1.2 “Covered Software Error” will mean any material nonconformity of the Covered Software with the Documentation.

1.3 “Covered Software Update” will mean any minor version of the Covered Software, developed subsequent to the Effective Date, which implements minor improvements or augmentations, or which corrects failures of the Covered Software materially to conform to the then-current Documentation. For example, a release that is to the right of the decimal point (i.e., version 1.2 to 1.3) is a minor release and a release to the left of the decimal point (i.e., version 1.2 to 2.0) is not a Covered Software Update.

1.4 “Covered Software Upgrade” will mean any version of the Covered Software, developed subsequent to the Effective Date, which implements additional features or functions, or which produces substantial and material improvements with respect to the utility and efficiency of the Covered Software or adds new features or functionality to the Covered Software, but which does not constitute merely a Covered Software Update (as reasonably determined by Scality), and which is not marketed by Scality as a separate module, product and/or service.

1.5 “Covered Software Upgrades Optional Features” are specific features made available by Scality to Customer through a Covered Software Upgrade that can be separately licensed and can be available for purchase

1.6 “Priority 1” means a Covered Software Error where the Covered Software is not operational, in that mission critical functionality is not available.

1.7 “Priority 2” means a Covered Software Error where either: (a) the Covered Software is not fully operational, in that some mission critical functionality is available, but such functionality is not operating correctly; or (b) a complete failure of non-critical software options such as the supervisor module, the monitoring module, reporting module, and logging sub-systems.

1.8 “Priority 3” means all other situations in a production environment of the Covered Software.

1.9 “Technical Support” means the provision of responses by qualified Scality personnel to questions from Eligible Customer Personnel related to use and operation of the Covered Software, including basic instruction or assistance related to functional errors in the Covered Software. Technical Support does not apply to any hardware.

2. TECHNOLOGY MAINTENANCE

2.1 Error Corrections. Scality will use commercially reasonable efforts to adapt, re-configure or re-program the Covered Software, as applicable, in order to correct in a timely fashion any Covered Software Errors reported to Scality by Eligible Customer Personnel, as defined below, provided that if Scality determines in good faith that any such Covered Software Error is the result of errors or misstatements in the Documentation, Scality may correct such non-conformity solely by amending the Documentation, as necessary, and further provided that any failure or inability by Scality to correct any such Covered Software Error, or failure or inability to do so in a timely fashion, will in no event be deemed a breach of Scality’s obligations hereunder.

2.2 Procedural Workarounds. In the event that Scality fails or is unable to correct any Covered Software Error, as required by these Maintenance Terms, Scality will use commercially reasonable efforts to develop in a timely fashion procedures or routines, for use by end users of the Covered Software, which, when employed in the regular operation of, or access to, the Covered Software, will avoid or substantially diminish the practical adverse effects of the relevant Covered Software Error, provided that any failure or inability by Scality to develop any such procedure or routine, or failure or inability to do so in a timely fashion, will in no event be deemed a breach of Scality’s obligations hereunder.

2.3 Covered Software Updates; Covered Software Upgrades. From time to time Scality may, in its discretion, develop Covered Software Updates and/or Covered Software Upgrades. Scality will, during the License Term of these Maintenance Terms, make such Covered Software Updates and Upgrades available to Customer, by the same means or methods by which the relevant Covered Software is made available, provided that Customer has paid all fees due under this Agreement. This Agreement does not include Covered Software Upgrades Optional Features, which may be subject to specific fees. Any such Covered Software Updates and Upgrades provided hereunder will be deemed to constitute part of the relevant Covered Software and will be subject to all the terms and provisions hereof, including, without limitation, terms and provisions related to licenses, usage restrictions and ownership of such Covered Software.”

3. TECHNICAL SUPPORT

3.1 Support Obligation. Subject to Customer’s payment of support fees as required in Section 4 of these Maintenance Terms, Customer will be permitted to designate in writing to Scality up to two (2) Customer personnel for purposes of obtaining Technical Support from Scality (“Eligible Customer Personnel”).

1. Dedicated Care Service

  • The dedicated care service described in this Supplemental Terms of Service (the “Dedicated Care Service” or “DCS”) is provided as an annual subscription and covers all Software deployed at the department level but does not aim at covering Software of distinct company departments with separate operations teams. Dedicated Care Service provides to the Customer all the services at the applicable level of DCS purchased, either “DCS Fundamental” or “DCS Extended” as provided below. All DCS plans are subject to the execution by the Customer of a software license agreement related to the Software (the “Agreement”).

2. DCS Fundamental provisions

For customers that purchase a DCS Fundamental plan, the following support services are provided above standard support:

  • Unlimited support calls in the context of supporting RING malfunction
  • Up to 5 professional services days requests (person days equivalents) per year for advice or diagnosis. When a DCS plan is purchased at time of deployment, requests for professional services days initiated during the first 3 months after deployment do not count towards the annual limit.
  • Access to the advanced DCS version of Scality cloud monitoring solution.  The advanced DCS cloud monitoring solution is a real-time monitoring, alarming and capacity planning tool. It collects and transmits to Scality Support Center and Customer status information on Scality’s Software global status and its components capabilities, operations, capacity trends and health. Information is displayed through a monitoring platform and an alarming system alerts Scality Support Center and Customer in the case of abnormal behaviors or events. Scality cloud monitoring solution Support Center will monitor all systems deployed at the customer sites on a 24×7 basis. However, Scality will not operate the Customer’s system. Data collection and remote monitoring of Scality’s Software are conducted with the limited purpose of improving Software performance, functionality and service quality provided to Customer.
  • Scality will provide a named resource for the Customer (“Customer Solution Engineer” referred to as “CSE”) who shall act as the designated consultant for the Customer for any operations issue requiring senior technical staff attention. The CSE will be based in the same region as the Customer (e.g., Europe, America, Asia). As part of the Dedicated Care Service Scality will also provide the Customer with the following services:
  • Additional Assistance. Scality will assist the Customer’s Eligible Support Recipients (e.g., the systems administration team) with diagnosing any problem encountered in the course of administering the Covered Software. Scality will endeavor to analyze and isolate the reported problem—escalating it through all three levels of technical support, as necessary—and will propose a remediation, even for problems not arising from an issue with the Covered Software. Upon request, Scality will also assist a Customer with other hardware and software vendors by explaining the nature of the problem to the appropriate hardware or software vendor whose product seem to be causing a problem. For certain problems, Scality may also suggest additional software or service capability to be added to the platform.
  • Advice. Upon request, Scality will advise the Customer on storage and/or redundancy policies, and also advise on recommended changes.
  • Monthly review calls with Customer If requested, to review the cloud monitor main key performance indicators (“KPI Review”).
  • Remote Assistance. Scality will assist the Customer remotely during the installation of software upgrades. (For all upgrades, Scality recommends upgrading only a few machines of the system first and other machines after a period of satisfactory performance by the upgraded servers. In instances of a critical problem condition, an emergency procedure may be applied.)
  • Escalation. In the unlikely event an issue needs executive management’s attention, Scality has a business level escalation procedure that the Customer can trigger if needed. This includes engagement in this order of the VP Technical Services, VP Engineering, Chief Technical Officer and finally Chief Operations Officer.

(Note: There are no service level guarantees or service level credits available on the DCS Fundamental plan)

3. DCS Extended 

A Customer who purchases a DCS Extended services plan is entitled to all of the above services and provisions for a DCS Fundamental plan (other than KPI Review, which is replaced as provided below), plus the additional services or provisions shall also apply:

  • 15 additional professional services days requests (person days equivalents) per year for advice or diagnosis (for a total of 20).
  • Quarterly Review. In place of KPI Review, a Scality Solution Engineer will conduct a quarterly review via teleconference with the Customer as may be scheduled by the Parties. This review will include a Support tickets report, a configuration and performance review, as well as a capacity assessment to predict the Customer’s future needs and a suggested roadmap on how best to meet those needs.
  • Workshops. The Solution Engineer will visit the Customer once each year to conduct a 1-day workshop to review the objectives of the Customer and refine the configuration of the Covered Software.
  • Service Levels. Scality will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer of expected or forecasted peak activity periods. Except as provided in this Section 1, if Availability drops below 99% for one calendar quarter period, Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to terminate the Dedicated Care Service. For subscribers of the Dedicated Care Service, Scality will provide service levels for certain performance as follows. The service levels apply at the cluster level, separately for each functional cluster (i.e., all servers in the same RING) composed of a minimum of 6 servers. It does not apply at server level (i.e., a storenode being down does not impact the service level). In addition, the service level applies to all Covered Software options installed on a given cluster, but does not apply to management elements.
  1. Response Time Service Level and Credits. As provided in the Maintenance and Support Services Terms and Conditions, Scality will respond to Priority 1 issues within fifteen (15) minutes; Priority 2 issues within four (4) hours; and Priority 3 issues within three (3) business days. Should Scality fail to acknowledge a request for a Priority 1 or Priority 2 issue in a time within the target response time in the Maintenance and Support Services Terms and Conditions, the Customer will be entitled to claim a credit of one percent (1%) of the annual preventive maintenance pack fee for that functional cluster. Credits are limited to 2 credits per calendar quarter, and for 2 events at least 7 calendar days apart. No credits are provided for failure to acknowledge a Priority 3 request.
  2. Covered Software Availability Service Level and Credits. Subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth in this Section, including the restrictions set forth below, if the Covered Software (as limited in this Section) in a RING cluster is not Available 100% (the “Software Availability Percentage”) of the time in any given year, and it is determined through a post-resolution analysis that such failure is due to failure of the Covered Software in that RING cluster, then Customer will be entitled to claim a credit equal to ten percent (10%) of the annual Dedicated Care Service fee allocated to the Covered Software for the RING functional cluster. Credits are limited to 2 credits per calendar quarter, for 2 events at least 7 calendar days apart. Represented algebraically, Software Availability Percentage for any particular calendar year is calculated as follows:

Software Availability Percentage (%) = Available – Downtime
(Total Time in Period)
“Available” means the Covered Software is operational and all mission critical functionality is available. The measurement of the Service Availability Percentage is calculated based on the time that a Priority 1 incident is opened at the Scality call center until service is restored. If the service was to be unavailable at one moment in time, an in-depth analysis (Root Cause Analysis) is performed to determine if it results from a fault of Covered Software (as limited above). Such analysis is then sent to the Customer. Should the fault be assigned to the Covered Software, the Customer will be entitled to the credit described in this Section 1. Planned Downtime and maintenance operations timeframes do not count towards unavailability. The credit shall not be available to the Customer if: (a) the used capacity exceeds the recommended threshold (DISKWARN) set during the installation and/or monthly review with the Scality Solution Engineer to insure that all write operations are able to fulfill; or (b) Customer fails to deploy within a reasonable period of time the number of servers necessary to sustain the traffic (N is that number of servers) based on the Customer’s reported traffic volume during peak hour, growth expectation, and the hardware being deployed, as recommended by the Scality Solution Engineer.
Durability Service Level and Credits. Provided certain conditions are met in the design and operation of the RING platform, Scality guarantees durability as part of the Dedicated Care Service. The Covered Software is designed to provide durability of objects over a given year. This durability level corresponds to an average annual expected loss of objects based on the number of sites and protection method as described below. It is assumed that the minimum protection ratio is 3 copies and/or ARC 9+3.
1 site Durability Service Percentage: 99.99999999%
2 sites Durability Service Percentage: 99.999999999%
Represented algebraically, the Durability Service Percentage (“Durability Service Percentage”) for any particular calendar year is calculated as follows:

Durability Service Percentage (%) = Objects Preserved – Objects Lost

Total Objects

Note that in case of mixed configurations, the least durable SLA applies.
Should an RING cluster fail to meet the Service Availability or the Durability SLA, and it is determined through a post-resolution analysis that such failure is due to failure of the RING platform or failure of Scality to perform remedial measures within the target resolution time, the Customer will be entitled to claim a credit equal to ten percent (10%) of the annual Dedicated Service Pack fee for the RING functional cluster. Credits are limited to 2 credits per calendar quarter, for 2 events at least 7 calendar days apart.

  • Service Level Conditions. All of the above Service Levels in Section 3.d are conditioned upon the following.
    In order to provide this service level, all effort must be used to identify possible causes of unavailability to happen on the RING before the fact. As such, to benefit from the SLA option, the Dedicated Care Service subscription is mandatory. Moreover, remote monitoring must be allowed through Scality cloud monitoring solution that must be installed and running to monitor all of the metrics of the Customer Software provided and required by Scality.
  • Customer has notified the Acceptance of RING functional cluster to Scality.
  • Customer has paid in full all outstanding Scality Software license fees, and support and maintenance fees (and has renewed its annual maintenance contract, at least one (1) month before the anniversary date, when appropriate).
  • Customer provides “remote hand” service to reboot any server specified by its IP address within 1 hour of request
  • The Customer employees operating the platform have received training from Scality on the Covered Software operation and are certified by Scality to have passed such training.
  • Customer has adhered to the change management process mutually agreed to by Scality and the Customer.
  • Customer deploys all upgrade releases that need to be deployed for fixing defects or installing security patches within ten (10) business days of Scality providing such to Customer.
  • Customer has adhered to the Scality escalation procedure.
  • The failure is not the consequence of a misconfiguration of the Covered Software by the Customer.
  • The Customer allows Scality to apply changes to the functional cluster configuration without requesting Customer prior approval to solve a Priority 1 issue. Scality will provide notice of the change within 1 business day after a workaround has been implemented.
  • Customer maintains the redundancy level of the hardware architecture.
  • Customer has allowed Scality to perform or validate all software upgrades on Customer’s platform.
  • No software other than certified Operating System by Scality and the Covered Software are running on the servers.
  • Scality engineers have through the Internet access to production servers operating the Covered Software on a 24 x 7×365 basis.
  • The probe/monitoring platform has access through the Internet to production RING servers, 24 x 7×365.
  • Customer provides appropriate network and switches capacity, power and cooling in the datacenter.
  • The Availability SLA does not apply when a datacenter is down.

If all of the above conditions are not met, then no credits shall be due to the Customer due to a failure to meet the Service Levels set forth in Section 3.d.
Service Level Exceptions. In addition to the requirements of Section 3.e, Scality will not be responsible for failures to meet service levels attributable to:
Acts or omissions of Customer, its agents, employees or contractors (including, without limitation, willful misconduct, negligence, breach of contract, or infringements of third party proprietary rights).
Customer’s failure to follow the conditions and instructions set forth in this Agreement and as provided by Scality.
Downtime due to a force majeure event; operation under a disaster recovery plan; or provision of the Covered Software after the expiration of the Term of the Agreement.

Definition. Unless otherwise above defined, capitalized terms used in this DCS will have the meaning set forth in the Agreement.

These M&S Terms are made under an Order between the Licensee and Licensor that incorporates an End User Software License Agreement (EULA) and describe the level of standard maintenance and support (M&S) services provided by Licensor as to the Software identified in the Order for M&S services.  Capitalized terms not defined here are defined in the EULA and incorporated herein.

In consideration of payment of the Fees in the applicable Order for M&S services, and provided Licensee is not in breach of the EULA or any Order, Licensor agrees, during the term of the Order for M&S services, as follows:

SOFTWARE ERROR CORRECTIONS 

Licensor will use commercially reasonable efforts to adapt, reconfigure or reprogram the Software, as applicable, to correct any material nonconformity of the Software with the Software documentation (Error(s)) reported to Licensor by Licensee, in a reasonable time in light of the severity of the Error, provided that if such Error is the result of errors or misstatements in the Software documentation, Licensor may correct such non-conformity by amending the Software documentation (Error Correction).

WORKAROUND

If Licensor is unable to complete an Error Correction, Licensor will use commercially reasonable efforts within a reasonable time in light of the severity of the Errors, to develop procedures or routines which, when employed in the regular operation of, or access to, the Software, will avoid or substantially diminish the practical adverse effects of the relevant Errors (Workaround).

SOFTWARE UPDATES AND UPGRADES

Licensor may develop modifications to the Software that (a) are minor improvements or augmentations and do not introduce material new functionality (Updates) or (b) additional features or functions, or substantial and material improvements with respect to the utility and efficiency of the Software or that add new features or functionality to the Software, and which are not marketed by Licensor as a separate module, product and/or service (Upgrades).  Licensee is entitled to all Updates during the term of an M&S services Order for the Software identified therein.  Licensor may charge additional fees for Upgrades to the extent Licensor generally imposes such an Upgrade fee on similarly situated customers.  Updates that are designated as remediation for security vulnerabilities must be installed by Licensee within a reasonable time, not to exceed 30 days, after Licensee is informed that such security release is available.  If Licensee fails to install such security updates, Licensor is not liable for any security issue or maintenance related to such issue that was remediated in such release.  Licensor may provide Upgrades that resolve Errors and designate prior releases as end of life.  Licensor shall not be required to support Software beyond its stated end of life period, provided that no version of Software under a then unexpired Order for M&S services shall have an end of life for Licensee prior to the end of the term for such Order for M&S services.   All Updates and Upgrades constitute Software under the EULA.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT 

Licensor will provide the following levels of technical support to the Licensee.  Technical support is only provided for the production instance (i.e. not lab, test, preview or other non in-production environments) of the Software.   

Severity Levels

Priority Category[1] Access Method Response Time[2] Target Service Restoration[3]
Priority 1  Phone[4] 15 minutes (24×7) 2 hours
Priority 2  Ticketing Only 4 business hours 3 business days
Priority 3  Ticketing Only 3 business days N/A
Service and/or Information Requests Ticketing Only As can be accommodated N/A
  1. Priority 1” means an Error that results in data residing on a storage volume managed by the Software being Unavailable, where “Unavailable” means that the data is not returned upon request, where such Unavailable condition arises solely as a result of the Error in the Software..

    Priority 2” means that despite data on a storage volume managed by the Software being available, the Software is malfunctioning in a manner that seriously degrades the performance of the Software or the availability of material functionality exposed by the Software. 

    Priority 3” means all other Errors (including but not limited to loss of redundancy)

  2. Business hours and business days are defined as “normal business hours” within the time zone of the Customer (e.g., 9am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday, with the exclusion of bank holidays in such time zone).  “Response Time” means that Licensor gives Licensee an acknowledgment of receipt of the notice regarding the issue. 
  3. This is the period of time that Licensor targets to either have an Error Correction or a Workaround available to Licensee.  Licensor does not guarantee an actual Error Correction or a Workaround in this time frame and provides no credits or other rights to damages or claims for Licensee under these M&S Terms.  Licensee may purchase Dedicated Care Service plans that provide levels of guaranteed performance and credits. 
  4. Licensor’s telephone Priority 1 support numbers are currently available on Licensor’s website, Scality.com.  If such numbers later are not made public, they will be provided to Licensee separately and may not be disclosed or shared without Licensor’s written permission.

CONDITIONS

Licensee is responsible for identifying all Software and hardware and the Software environment operating system as of the beginning of the M&S services (Supported Platform). If the Supported Platform information has not been communicated to Licensor and is not kept up-to-date by Licensee in communications to Licensor during term of the M&S services, Licensor will not be responsible for failure to provide M&S services to the extent such failure arose from lack of upto-date Licensee contact information.  Unless an Order specifically provides otherwise, or Licensor otherwise consents in writing, Licensee must use Licensor’s identified phone numbers and trouble ticket system (https://support.scality.com) for the technical support provisions to apply.  Licensee shall cooperate with Licensor and provide Licensor access to Licensee personnel and resources as Licensor may reasonably require in order to provide technical support, which may include access through the Internet, VPN, remote desktop or other remote help technology, access to Licensee facilities, and/or access to, and assistance of, qualified Licensee personnel. Licensor is excused from any non-performance of M&S services to the extent any such non-performance is attributable to Licensee’s failure to meet these conditions.

EXCEPTIONS

Licensor shall have no obligation to provide technical support with respect to any Errors resulting from (i) misuse of the Software; (ii) modification of the Software by Licensee or any third party, except as expressly permitted in writing by Licensor; (iii) any combination or integration of the Software with hardware, Software and/or technology not identified by Licensor in the Software documentation, the Order, or other agreement between the parties, as compatible with the Software; (iv) Third Party Software, monitoring, or other applications which have not been certified for implementation by Licensor at the Licensee site; (v) continued support requests for issues where Licensor has provided an Update or Upgrade which has not been implemented by the Licensee; (vi) implementation of the Software on platforms other than Supported Platforms.  Licensor is not      required to provide technical support to the extent the provision thereof might reasonably be expected to jeopardize or harm Licensor’s rights in any intellectual property, or reveal trade secrets or other proprietary information of Licensor not generally available to the public or to end users of the Software.

OPTIONAL ALERTING

Licensor offers a remote monitoring/alerting service (Alerting Service) to Licensee as part of technical support, depending on the Software that is licensed, the Supported Platform capabilities, and Licensee’s configuration of its environment.  Alerts sent by the Alerting Service do not constitute notice to Licensor of a technical support request. Licensee acknowledges that Licensee may not receive automated notices of important system events that might signal impending Errors.

FEES; TERM; RENEWAL (when applicable)

This section does not apply to Orders received by the Licensor from a Third-Party (including but not limited to authorized Reseller, authorized Distributor).

M&S services under an Order are not terminable (except as expressly stated below) for the term stated in the Order and are not refundable.  The M&S service term commences on the Order for M&S services is executed by Licensor and Licensee (Effective Date) and shall continue in effect for a period stated in such Order or if not stated one (1) year.   All Fees shall be paid in advance, annually, in accordance with the Order, or if no time for payment is stated in the Order, within thirty (30) calendar days after an invoice is issued by Licensor.  The M&S services term shall automatically renew for successive one (1)-year terms (Renewal Term) unless either Licensee or Licensor provides written notice of its intent not to renew to the other party at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then-current initial term or Renewal Term.  Licensor shall have the option to modify the rates and prices for M&S services in any Renewal Term by notifying Licensee of such new rates and prices at least ninety (90) days prior to the commencement of such Renewal Term.

LICENSOR COMMUNICATIONS

Licensee shall identify a primary point of contact with Licensor to receive notices and information from Licensor regarding M&S services and keep such contact information up to date.  Licensee expressly agrees to receive Licensor notices electronically, and such notices will be deemed received when sent to the then last known contact address, unless Licensor receives a rejection notice from the Licensee’s server.  Licensor may establish one or more forms of communication channels for Licensee to receive such notices.

EULA TERMINATION

Upon any early termination of the EULA for breach of the EULA by Licensor, all Orders for M&S services related to the Software under the terminated EULA shall also terminate, and Licensor shall refund to Licensee the prorated, prepaid unused amount of M&S services.  When applicable, except for the prior sentence, all Fees for M&S services are non-refundable and no credit or rebate shall be payable to Licensee upon any termination hereof.

RING Dedicated Care Service (DCS) Supplemental Terms (DCS Terms)
Effective starting: August 10, 2021

These DCS Terms are provided under an applicable Order between the Licensee and Licensor that incorporates an End User Software License Agreement (EULA), and are supplemental to an Order for Scality Maintenance and Support Services (M&S Terms), which is required to support these DCS Terms. Capitalized terms not defined here are defined in the EULA or in the M&S Terms and incorporated herein.

DCS services are optional maintenance and support services (above standard M&S services) and are only provided under an executed Order between Licensor and the applicable licensee as to the Software identified in the Order for either DCS – Fundamental (DCS-F) or DCS – Extended (DCS-X).  

In consideration of payment of the Fees in the applicable Order for these DCS Terms, and provided Licensee is not in breach of the EULA, the M&S Terms, or any Order, Licensor agrees, during the term of the Order for DCS services, as follows:

DCS-F   

DCS-F includes the following additional support services: 

  1. Up to 5 business days per year (40 hours), consumed in increments of not less than one hour, in a support term for general advice or diagnosis outside of Error Correction (Included Support Hours). A business day is Monday through Friday, excluding holidays of Licensor.  Support provided on days other than business days is multiplied by 2 to calculate business days (i.e. 1hr of support on a non-business day counts as 2 hrs of business day support). A business day is 8 hours. Those days will expire at the end of each annual covered period.
  2. Access to the Licensor’s advanced monitoring and alerting solution (Advanced Monitoring/Alerting Service) provides proactive monitoring and alarming events. It collects and transmits Software status information to Licensor, including component capabilities, operations, capacity trends and health. Information is displayed through a monitoring platform and an alarming system alerts Licensor’s support center and Licensee in the case of abnormal behaviors or events that are set up as triggers.  The Advanced Monitoring/Alerting Service is not used to proactively operate Licensee’s system or the Software, rather it is a system that reacts to environment conditions and triggers and provides information to qualified personnel or other electronic systems.  The Advanced Monitoring/Alerting Service data collection and remote monitoring are conducted solely for the limited purpose of improving Software performance, functionality and service quality provided to Licensee, and to support Licensor’s ability to meet the service levels herein.
  3. Licensor will provide a resource for the Licensee who shall act as a point of contact for the Licensee for any operations issue requiring technical support. Licensor’s resource will be based in the same region as the Licensee (e.g., Europe, America, Asia).  Licensee may not open support tickets through Licensor’s named resource, nor may the Licensor resource open support tickets for Licensee; rather Licensee must use the standard support ticketing system under the M&S services.  
  4. Remote Assistance. Licensor will be available for questions and to provide available knowledge to Licensee during Updates and Upgrades.  
  5. Communications with and assistance provided by Licensor as provided above will count against (i.e. consume and reduce) the Included Support Hours.  

DCS-X 

DCS-X includes the following support services, Service Levels and Service Level Credits:

  1. Up to 20 business days, as defined above, per year (160 hours) total (i.e. not in addition to the Included Support Hours under DCS-F), consumed in increments of not less than one hour, in a support term for general advice or diagnosis outside of Error Correction (Included Support Hours). Those days will expire at the end of each annual covered period.      
  2. Quarterly Review. Licensor will conduct a quarterly review via teleconference with the Licensee, at Licensee’s request. This review will include a support tickets report, a configuration and performance review, as well as a capacity assessment to predict the Licensee’s future needs and a suggested roadmap on how best to meet those needs.  The capacity assessment will only be provided if Licensee is using and has implemented the Advanced Monitoring/Alerting Service, and Licensee has implemented      procedures and critical recommendations required by Licensor to enable Licensor to review Licensee’s system for capacity and storage.
  3. Service Levels. Licensor will meet the Service Levels, subject to the CONDITIONS and EXCEPTIONS below, only in respect of active, in production use of the Software, as follows:
    1. Availability.  The Software shall be Available 100% of the time in a given calendar year

(where Available means that the Software is not Unavailable as defined in the Priority 1 definition in the M&S Terms). 

    1. Response Time.  Licensor shall acknowledge each properly submitted Priority 1 and 2 technical support requests within the Response Time set forth in the M&S Terms.  
    2. Data Durability.  The Software, so long as it is configured with a minimum protection ratio of 3 copies and/or ARC 9+3 will meet the following Durability Service Percentage:
      1. For One (1) Software site: 99.999999999%
      2. For a multi-site Software configuration: 99.999999999999%

Durability Service Percentage for any particular calendar year is calculated as follows:

Durability Service Percentage (%) = Objects Preserved / Total Objects

(Note that in case of mixed configurations, the least durable Service Level applies).

  1. Service Level Credits.  Licensor will provide Licensee with the following Service Level Credits for failure to meet the Service Levels, subject to the CONDITIONS and EXCEPTIONS below, only in respect of active, in production use of the Software, as follows:
      1. Availability Service Level Credit.  Ten percent (10%) of the annual DCS-X fee associated with the Software that failed to meet such Availability Service Level.
      2. Response Time Service Level Credit. One percent (1%) of the annual DCS-X fee associated with the Software that failed to meet such Response Time Service Level.
      3. Data Durability Service Level Credit.   Should a Software cluster fail to meet the Data Durability Service Level, and if Licensor fails to resolve such issue within the Target Service Restoration period stated in the M&S Terms, Licensee will be entitled to a Service Level Credit equal to ten percent (10%) of the annual DCS-X fee associated with the Software that failed to meet such Data Durability Service Level. 

Notwithstanding (i)-(iii) above:

Service Level Credits are limited to 2 per calendar quarter, and events must occur at least 7 calendar days apart to trigger a separate Service Level Credit (i.e. if an event triggers a Service Level breach and then another event occurs 5 days later for the same type of Service Level breach, that is one Service Level breach); and

The maximum Service Level Credits that can be earned in any calendar year period may not exceed 40% of the DCS-X fee paid by Licensee in respect of the Software for which such Service Level Credit was earned. 

Service Level Credits shall be applied as credits only against the following Renewal Term M&S services and/or DCS fees and shall not be paid out, provided that if Licensee does not renew any M&S services (and/or any DCS services), then the net credit due from Licensor shall be paid to Licensee within 45 days of the end of M&S/DCS services.

TERMINATION RIGHT  

If the Software is not Available for at least 99% in a calendar quarter period, Licensee’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to terminate that portion of the Order for DCS services for the Software that failed to meet that standard. 

CONDITIONS

All Service Levels and Service Level Credits and termination rights are conditioned on the following (i.e. if all of the conditions are not met, then no Service Level Credits shall be due to the Licensee due to a failure to meet the Service Levels and Licensee shall not be entitled to terminate any Order):

  • Service levels provided as part of DCS-X apply at the cluster level, separately for each functional cluster (i.e., all servers in the same RING instance of the Software).  Service levels do not apply at the server level (e.g., a store node being down does not impact the service level).   Service Levels apply to all Software options installed on a given cluster but does not apply to management elements.

  3. Service Level Credits shall be applied as credits only against the following Renewal Term M&S services and/or Scale Care Service fees and shall not be paid out, provided that if Licensee does not renew any M&S services (and/or any DCS services), then the net credit due from Licensor shall be paid to Licensee within 45 days of the end of M&S/DCS services.
  4. Service level credits shall be treated as liquidated damages and Licensee is not entitled to any other damages of any kind in respect of the event that gave rise to entitlement to a credit (i.e. no consequential or other contractual damages are permitted related to application of a Service Level Credit).

Additional Termination Right 

If the Software is not Available for at least 99% in a calendar quarter period, Licensee’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to terminate that portion of the Order for Scale Care Services for the Software that failed to meet that standard by giving written notice of such election not later than 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter in which such failure occurred. 

If timely notice of a termination right above is given to Licensor, Licensor shall refund Licensee any prepaid, pro-rated unused fees for such Scale Care Services, which refund is the sole and exclusive remedy related to such breach of the service level obligations herein.

Conditions

All Service Levels and Service Level Credits and Termination rights are conditioned on the following (i.e. if all of the conditions are not met, then no Service Level Credits shall be due to the Licensee due to a failure to meet the Service Levels and Licensee shall not be entitled to terminate any Order):

Capitalized terms not defined here are defined in the EULA or in any Maintenance and Support Terms (the M&S Terms) and are incorporated herein.

These PS Terms describe certain professional services to be performed by Licensor for Licensee and certain terms associated with these services.  These PS Terms control over any conflicting or different terms or conditions in the EULA or M&S Terms.

In consideration of payment of the Fees in the applicable Order for these PS Terms, and provided Licensee is not in breach of the EULA, the M&S Terms, or any Order, Licensor agrees, during the term of the Order for Professional Services, as follows:

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES TYPES

Licensor provides two types of Professional Services:

  1. Professional Services based on Time & Materials (T&M Services)

T&M Services will be performed to assist Licensee in its use of Licensor technology and products, based on the number of days of Professional Services set forth in the Order and subject to the following:

  • Each day (or portion thereof) of Professional Services performed during Licensor Business Days and Hours (on-site or Remotely) by a Consultant shall count with a factor 1 against the number of days ordered
  • Each day (or portion thereof) of Professional Services performed outside of Licensor Business days (on-site or Remotely) by a Consultant needs to be approved by Licensor and shall count with a factor 2 against the number of days ordered.  Example:  8 hrs (1 day) of Professional Services  are performed on a Saturday.  This constitutes use of 2 days of Professional Services.
  • For Orders up to 20 Professional Services days, the days will expire twelve (12) months after the date Licensee or Third-Party sends the Order. 
  • For Orders of 21 Professional Services days or more, the days will expire twenty four (24) months after the date Licensee or Third-Party sends the Order.
  • There are no refunds of prepaid, unused Professional Services fees.

One Day of service includes eight (8) Hours. Service hours are billed in not less than 2 hour blocks – meaning that any Service hour started will count for two (2) Hours, regardless of whether the actual amount of time spent after Service commencement was 2 hours.

No deliverables are included within the scope of T&M Services. The overall responsibility regarding the successful use of Licensor technology and products by Licensee rests with the Licensee.

  1. Professional Services based on a Fixed Price (Fixed Price Services)

Fixed Price Services will be performed to assist Licensee with predefined operations as stated in Licensor’s Services catalog and are subject to the following:

  • Fixed Price Services will be performed during Licensor’s Business Days and Hours. Any work performed outside of such Business Days and Hours must be discussed and approved by Licensor in advance, at Licensor’s sole and absolute discretion.
  • The Fixed Price Service will expire twelve (12) months after the date Licensee or Third-Party sends the Order.
  • Fixed Price Services are based upon reasonable and prompt responsiveness and cooperation from Licensee, and Licensee performing in all material respects, all Licensee Responsibilities set out herein and in any Order for Professional Services.  If Licensee fails to promptly respond and otherwise reasonably cooperate in completion of the Fixed Price Services, after notice by Licensor, such engagement may be converted to a T&M Services and billed as such.
  • There are no refunds of prepaid, unused Professional Services on Fixed Price Services fees, regardless of whether such Fixed Price Services were converted to T&M Services.

Fixed Price Services will be considered complete once the Professional Services as described in Licensor’s catalog have been delivered to Licensee.

ARTESCA Conditions Générales de Licence et de support ARTESCA
LICENCE LOGICIELLE

Tout logiciel (« Logiciel ») identifié dans un bon de commande (« Commande »), lequel peut être fourni sur support papier ou par voie électronique, établi soit (a) par un distributeur autorisé (« Distributeur ») au nom de Scality (« Concédant »), soit par le Concédant, et (b) par la partie autorisée à utiliser le logiciel (« Licencié »), est concédé sous licence (et non vendu) conformément à la Commande et aux présentes Conditions Générales de Licence et de support. Les Distributeurs doivent être autorisés par le Concédant à distribuer le Logiciel pour que cette Licence soit valide. Ces Conditions Générales de Licence et de support (« CLUF ») sont intégrées par référence dans chaque Commande. Une Commande peut établir les prix et les volumes/métriques du logiciel concédé sous licence, mais ne peut modifier ce CLUF à moins que la Commande ne précise explicitement que ses conditions prévalent sur ces Conditions Générales de Licence et de support, par une disposition signée séparément par le Concédant. Le Concédant détient et conserve les droits exclusifs, titres et intérêts, y compris les droits de propriété intellectuelle, sur le Logiciel et la documentation associée, qui sont concédés sous licence, et non vendus.

TYPES DE LICENCES

Le Logiciel peut être concédé sous forme de Licence gratuite ou de Licence Commerciale. Une Licence Gratuite est soumise aux termes et conditions spécifiques de la section « CONDITIONS GENERALES DE LICENCE GRATUITE ». Une Licence Commerciale désigne une licence payante permettant d’utiliser le Logiciel pour une durée déterminée ou pour une capacité de stockage utilisable spécifique, ou les deux, tel qu’indiqué dans la Commande.

TERMES DE LA LICENCE

Hormis le cas où le Licencié enfreint le présent CLUF ou la Commande, et que le Concédant résilie ce CLUF et/ou une Commande, le Concédant accorde au Licencié une licence mondiale, limitée, non exclusive, non transférable et non sous-licenciable, pendant la durée spécifiée dans la Commande, pour utiliser la version en code objet du Logiciel jusqu’à la capacité de stockage utilisable indiquée dans le Bon de commande (si la Commande ne précise pas une capacité de stockage spécifique, la limite de stockage sera d’un téraoctet), au(x) emplacement(s) indiqué(s) dans la Commande.
Le Licencié est autorisé à utiliser et faire des copies de la documentation associée au Logiciel uniquement pour une utilisation conforme aux termes ci-dessus. Des copies de sauvegarde peuvent être réalisées à des fins de restauration, mais ne doivent pas être utilisées à des fins de production.
La « capacité de stockage utilisable » est calculée en divisant la capacité brute totale utilisée pour stocker les données (qui correspond à la capacité totale des disques utilisés pour stocker les données) par le ratio de surcharge de protection des données nécessaire pour protéger ces données sur le matériel, conformément à la formule ci-jointe :

Capacité de stockage utilisable = (capacité brute utilisée pour stocker les données) / (ratio de surcharge de protection des données).
Par exemple, pour un stockage avec 120 disques de 20 To et ARC 9+3 :
• La capacité brute est de 120 * 20 = 2400 To
• La surcharge de protection des données = 12/9 = 1,33
• La capacité de stockage utilisable = 2400 / 1,33 = 1800 To

Le Licencié peut uniquement utiliser le Logiciel sur les systèmes d’exploitation répertoriés sur le site web du Concédant à l’adresse www.scality.com comme étant compatibles avec le Logiciel.

CONDITIONS GÉNÉRALES DE LA LICENCE GRATUITE

Le Concédant peut accorder le droit d’utiliser le Logiciel sans frais pour une période déterminée (la « Période d’essai »). La Période d’essai est de trente (30) jours, à compter du jour de l’installation du Logiciel. Le Concédant peut modifier les conditions de la Licence gratuite à tout moment, y compris en y mettant fin. Bien que le Licencié puisse utiliser la Licence gratuite dans un environnement de production ordinaire, le Licencié reconnaît le droit du Concédant de mettre fin à la Licence gratuite à la fin de la Période d’essai.
Dans le cas où le Licencié continue d’utiliser le Logiciel à quelque fin que ce soit après la Période d’essai, le Concédant se réserve le droit de facturer le Licencié, et le Licencié s’engage à accepter et à payer la facture du Concédant dans un délai de trente (30) jours, sur la base de la capacité de stockage utilisable maximale mise à disposition dans le cadre de la Licence gratuite et du tarif applicable de Scality.
Le Concédant ne prend aucun engagement quant au support technique fourni au Licencié. Le Concédant peut, à sa seule discrétion, fournir un support technique.

LOGICIELS TIERS

Le Concédant peut distribuer des logiciels appartenant à des tiers (Logiciels Tiers) avec le Logiciel. L’utilisation des Logiciels Tiers peut être soumise à d’autres conditions de licence. Dans la mesure où le Concédant a le droit de distribuer ces Logiciels Tiers, le Concédant accorde au Licencié tous les droits dont il dispose sur les Logiciels Tiers pour leur utilisation en lien avec le Logiciel. Les Logiciels Tiers qui ne sont pas intégrés à l’image exécutable du Logiciel fournie par le Concédant ne sont pas considérés comme faisant partie du « Logiciel » au sens du présent CLUF.

LIMITATIONS

Sauf autorisation expresse par le présent CLUF et par une Commande, le Licencié ne peut pas, directement ou indirectement par l’intermédiaire d’un tiers, reproduire, modifier, traduire ou autrement créer des œuvres dérivées, louer, prêter ou autrement distribuer, copier, décompiler, désassembler, rétroconcevoir ou tenter de reconstruire, identifier ou découvrir tout code source, idées sous-jacentes, processus ou algorithmes par tout moyen juridique ou technique, en tout ou en partie, du Logiciel, de la documentation du Logiciel ou des Informations Confidentielles du Concédant (définies ci-dessous). Le Concédant se réserve tous les droits sur le Logiciel, la documentation du Logiciel et les Informations Confidentielles du Concédant qui ne sont pas expressément accordés aux termes des présentes ou dans une Commande.

AUTRES RESTRICTIONS

Sauf indication contraire dans une Commande ou approbation écrite du Concédant, le Licencié ne peut pas, directement ou indirectement, par l’intermédiaire d’un tiers ou avec un tiers : (i) déplacer le Logiciel vers un emplacement autre que celui indiqué dans la Commande initiale ; (ii) publier ou divulguer les caractéristiques, fonctionnalités, attributs, résultats de tout test ou étude comparative, ou toute autre étude comparative du Logiciel ou de la documentation, ni utiliser ces résultats ou informations dans le cadre d’activités de développement de logiciels ;(iii) supprimer toute identification de produit, mention de propriété, droit d’auteur ou autre notification contenue dans le Logiciel ou la documentation ; ou (iv) utiliser le Logiciel sur tout matériel ou environnement système autre que ceux listés sur le site web du Concédant à l’adresse www.scality.com comme étant compatibles avec le Logiciel.

MISES À JOUR ET MISES À NIVEAU

Le Logiciel inclut des correctifs, mises à jour, améliorations, ajouts, optimisations et autres modifications qui peuvent être mis à disposition du Licencié tels que prévus dans une Commande pour des services de maintenance et de support pour des Licences Commerciales. Le Concédant ne s’engage pas à fournir des mises à jour, mises à niveau ou support pour des Licences Gratuites. Sauf indication contraire dans une Commande pour des services de maintenance et de support, le Concédant peut décider de ne plus supporter une version particulière du Logiciel sous Licence Commerciale moyennant un préavis d’au moins un an communiqué Licencié. Toutes les mises à jour et/ou mises à niveau fournies par le Concédant sont obligatoires et ne peuvent pas être refusées par le Licencié.

AUGMENTATION DE LA CAPACITÉ DE STOCKAGE

Le Licencié sera responsable du paiement du Prix (selon les tarifs standards en vigueur du Concédant, si aucun tarif n’est communiqué dans une Commande) de toute capacité de stockage utilisable supplémentaire à partir de la date de cette augmentation, qu’une Commande ait été passée ou non par le Licencié ou par un Revendeur autorisé du Concédant. Le Concédant ajustera en conséquence le Prix de la Licence dus sur cette base et facturera le Licencié en conséquence.

AUDIT

Pendant la durée du présent CLUF et des Commandes y afférentes, et un (1) an après, (a) le Licencié conservera tous les registres, contrats et comptes relatifs à son utilisation du Logiciel, aux Services dont il a bénéficié, au paiement du Prix et à la conformité générale en vertu des présentes et des Commandes y afférents ; et (b) le Concédant aura le droit, à ses frais et moyennant un délai et un lieu d’audit raisonnables, d’auditer et de copier tout ou partie de ces documents. Cependant, le Concédant ne pourra effectuer plus de deux (2) audits au cours d’une année civile donnée. Si un audit révèle une violation des présentes ou des Commandes y afférentes ou un défaut de paiement par le Licencié ou ses employés ou agents, le Licencié devra, en sus d’autres droits et recours disponibles pour le Concédant, payer les frais raisonnables pour l’audit et les copies. Le Concédant n’utilisera les informations obtenues lors de cet audit que pour vérifier et/ou mettre en œuvre la conformité des agissements du Licencié avec les termes du présent CLUF et des Commandes y afférentes, pour se conformer aux exigences de déclaration gouvernementales et à d’autres fins prévues par la loi.

CONFIDENTIALITÉ

Chaque Partie reconnaît qu’elle peut recevoir, avoir accès ou se voir fournir des informations de nature confidentielle, exclusive ou secrète transmises par une Partie (l’ “Emetteur”) à l’autre Partie (le “Destinataire”) en vertu du présent CLUF et des Commandes y afférentes, y compris des informations échangées en amont, dans le cadre de la préparation de ce CLUF et des Commandes y afférentes (les « Informations Confidentielles »). Ces informations restent la propriété de l’Emetteur. Chaque Partie accepte que les Informations Confidentielles reçues de l’autre Partie : (a) ne soient utilisées que pour atteindre les objectifs contenus dans le présent CLUF et les Commandes y afférentes ;(b) ne soient divulguées à aucun tiers sans l’accord écrit préalable de l’Emetteur ;(c) ne soient partagées qu’au sein de l’organisation du Destinataire sur la base du “besoin de savoir” avec des personnes ayant été informées des obligations de confidentialité et ayant accepté de s’y conformer ;(d) soient traitées avec au moins le même degré de soin que les Informations Confidentielles propres au Destinataire. Le Destinataire informera immédiatement l’Emetteur de toute utilisation ou divulgation non autorisée des Informations Confidentielles et coopérera avec lui pour y remédier. Les Informations Confidentielles ne comprennent pas les informations qui : (i) sont ou deviennent accessibles au public sans violation du présent CLUF par le Destinataire ; (ii) sont déjà en possession du Destinataire au moment de la divulgation ; (iii) sont développées de manière indépendante par le Destinataire ; (iv) sont obtenues légalement par le Destinataire via un tiers ; ou (v) sont divulguées aux termes d’un accord écrit mutuel des Parties. Par ailleurs, une Partie peut divulguer des Informations Confidentielles si cela est nécessaire : (a) pour se conformer à une décision judiciaire, une obligation légale ou une réglementation, après avoir prévenu par écrit l’Emetteur et tenté d’obtenir une mesure de protection ; (b) pour faire valoir ses droits en vertu du présent CLUF, y compris pour mener à bien des procédures judiciaires.

GARANTIES DU CONCÉDANT ; RECOURS

Conformément au présent CLUF et aux Commandes y afférentes, pour une Licence Commerciale, le Concédant déclare et garantit que le Logiciel sera conforme, à tous égards matériels, à la documentation du Logiciel pendant une période de quatre-vingt-dix (90) jours après la livraison du Logiciel au Licencié. Toutefois, cette garantie ne s’applique pas aux défauts de conformité à la documentation du Logiciel dans la mesure où ces défauts résultent, en tout ou en partie, de : (a) toute utilisation du Logiciel non conforme à la documentation du Logiciel, (b) toute modification du Logiciel par le Licencié ou un tiers, (c) tout refus ou défaut d’acceptation/de mise en œuvre par le Licencié d’une mise à jour/mise à niveau, ou (d) toute combinaison du Logiciel avec des logiciels, du matériel ou d’autres technologies non fournis par le Concédant en vertu du présent CLUF et des Commandes y afférents ou spécifiés par le Concédant comme étant compatibles avec le Logiciel.
Pour toute réclamation au titre de la garantie formulée par le Licencié pendant la période de Garantie, le Concédant déploiera ses meilleurs efforts pour résoudre, sans frais pour le Licencié, toute non-conformité signalée. Cela constitue le seul et unique recours du Licencié en cas de violation de cette Garantie. LE CONCÉDANT NE FORMULE AUCUNE DÉCLARATION OU N’OFFRE AUCUNE GARANTIE CONCERNANT LES LICENCES GRATUITES.

EXCLUSION DE GARANTIE

SAUF GARANTIE EXPRESSÉMENT STIPULÉE DANS LE PRÉSENT CLUF, LE LOGICIEL ET TOUS LES AUTRES ELEMENTS (Y COMPRIS LES LOGICIELS DE TIERS) ET/OU SERVICES FOURNIS PAR LE CONCÉDANT SONT FOURNIS “TELS QUELS” ET “AVEC TOUS LEURS DÉFAUTS”.

DURÉE ET RÉSILIATION

Le présent CLUF prend effet à la date à laquelle la première Commande faisant référence à ces Conditions générales est exécutée par les Parties et se termine à la première des deux dates suivantes : la date de résiliation prévue ci-dessous ou la dernière date de fin de la dernière Commande en cours. Une Partie peut résilier ce CLUF et les Commandes y afférentes si l’autre Partie manque de manière substantielle à une obligation prévue dans ce CLUF et les Commandes y afférentes et omet de remédier à ce manquement dans un délai de trente (30) jours après réception par la Partie défaillante d’une notification écrite dudit manquement de la part de la Partie non défaillante, notamment, mais sans s’y limiter, en cas de défaut de paiement du Prix, à bonne date.
En cas de résiliation de ce CLUF et des Commandes y afférentes par l’une ou l’autre des Parties, ou d’expiration de ceux-ci, alors : (a) dans les dix (10) jours suivant la date effective de résiliation ou d’expiration, selon le cas, le Licencié certifiera par écrit au Concédant que le Logiciel et toutes les autres Informations Confidentielles en sa possession ont été détruits ;

Nonobstant ce qui précède, une Licence Gratuite peut être résiliée à tout moment par le Concédant, moyennant une notification écrite (un courriel suffit) adressée au Licencié.

RÉVISION DES PRIX DES LICENCE ET DU SUPPORT

Sauf indication contraire dans la Commande, à chaque date anniversaire, le Concédant se réserve le droit de réviser les Prix des licences et du support ARTESCA avec une augmentation maximale de cinq pour cent (5 %), à condition que le Concédant informe le Licencié par écrit de toute révision au moins trente (30) jours avant ladite date anniversaire.

INDEMNISATION

En ce qui concerne les Licences Commerciales, le Concédant défendra et dégagera le Licencié de toute responsabilité à son encontre, et indemnisera le Licencié tous les coûts, frais raisonnables (y compris les honoraires d’avocats raisonnables), dommages et autres responsabilités qui pourraient être retenus à son encontre résultant d’une réclamation par un tier faisant état que le Logiciel tel que fourni par le Concédant enfreint ou détourne, selon le cas, un brevet américain ou français en vigueur à la date de conclusion de la Commande, ou tout droit d’auteur ou secret commercial en vertu des lois américaines ou françaises.
Nonobstant ce qui précède, le Concédant n’aura aucune obligation ou responsabilité vis-à-vis du Licencié si l’infraction alléguée résulte : (1) de la combinaison, de l’exploitation ou de l’utilisation du Logiciel avec des produits, services, informations, matériaux, technologies, méthodes ou processus commerciaux non fournis par le Concédant ou non spécifiés dans la documentation du Logiciel ;(2) de modifications apportées au Logiciel qui ne sont pas effectuées par le Concédant lui-même ;(3) de la non mise en œuvre des mises à jour fournies par le Concédant ; (4) de l’utilisation inappropriée du Logiciel ou de l’utilisation du Logiciel en dehors des conditions prévues par la documentation du Logiciel ; ou (5) de la violation des dispositions de confidentialité prévues dans le présent document (collectivement, les “Responsabilités d’Indemnisation du Licencié”).
En cas de réclamation pour laquelle une indemnisation est ou pourrait être due par le Concédant, ou dans l’éventualité où le Concédant estime qu’une telle réclamation est probable, le Concédant peut, à sa discrétion : (i) modifier de manière appropriée le Logiciel pour qu’il devienne non litigieux, ou remplacer le Logiciel ou les services par des équivalents fonctionnels ; (ii) obtenir une licence sur les droits de propriété intellectuelle tiers concernés ; ou (iii) résilier ce CLUF et les Commandes y afférents moyennant un préavis écrit au Licencié et le remboursement du Prix des licences prépayés non utilisées dans le cadre de la durée restante des Commandes concernées. Les obligations énoncées dans cette section constituent l’entière responsabilité du Concédant et le seul recours du Licencié en cas de violation ou de détournement réel ou allégué du Logiciel.
Le Licencié dégagera le Concédant de toute responsabilité, défendra le Concédant à l’encontre de tout tiers, et indemnisera le Concédant toutes les pertes, frais (y compris les honoraires raisonnables d’avocats), dommages résultant d’une réclamation par un tier en lien avec les Responsabilités d’Indemnisation du Licencié listées ci-dessus.
Chaque Partie (en tant que partie indemnisée) s’engage à fournir à l’autre Partie (en tant que partie indemnisante): (a) une notification écrite de toute réclamation dans les plus brefs délais ; (b) l’autorité exclusive pour assurer la défense et/ou le règlement de cette réclamation ; et (c) toutes les informations et l’assistance raisonnablement demandées, aux frais de la partie indemnisante, pour assurer cette défense et/ou ce règlement.
Nonobstant ce qui précède, la partie indemnisante ne conclura aucun accord de règlement de réclamation de tiers à moins que ce règlement ne libère complètement et définitivement la partie indemnisée ou que cette dernière donne son consentement écrit préalable à cet accord. La partie indemnisée peut assurer sa propre défense à ses frais, avec l’avocat de son choix. Pour éviter toute ambiguïté, le Concédant n’accepte pas et n’indemnisera pas le Licencié dans le cadre de toute Licence Gratuite.

LIMITATION DE RESPONSABILITÉ

En ce qui concerne les Licences Commerciales, le Concédant sera responsable envers le Licencié (ou tout affilié du Licencié) uniquement à hauteur des dommages directs réels subis par le Licencié, sans dépasser (au total pour l’ensemble des réclamations) le montant payé par le Licencié au Concédant pour le Logiciel spécifiquement déployé, incriminé et faisant l’objet de la réclamation. Pour lever toute ambiguïté, le Concédant ne sera pas responsable des dommages liés à toute réclamation découlant de l’utilisation d’une Licence Gratuite par le Licencié, dont le seul et unique recours du Licencié est de mettre fin à l’utilisation du Logiciel sous Licence Gratuite. En aucun cas, la responsabilité totale du Concédant pour l’ensemble des réclamations découlant d’une seule Commande ou s’y rapportant ne dépassera le montant total payé au Concédant par le Licencié en vertu de cette Commande au cours des douze (12) mois précédant le mois au cours duquel l’événement fondant la responsabilité s’est produit.
SAUF (A) LES VIOLATIONS DES OBLIGATIONS DU LICENCIÉ ÉNONCÉES DANS LA SECTION “CONFIDENTIALITÉ” ET LA SECTION “INDEMNISATION” ; ET (B) LES DOMMAGES ATTRIBUABLES À L’APPROPRIATION INDUE, LA VIOLATION OU LA CONTREFACON PAR LE LICENCIÉ DES DROITS DE PROPRIÉTÉ INTELLECTUELLE DU CONCÉDANT, EN AUCUN CAS L’UNE OU L’AUTRE DES PARTIES, NI LES FOURNISSEURS DU CONCÉDANT, NE POURRONT ÊTRE TENUS RESPONSABLES ENVERS L’AUTRE PARTIE OU TOUTE AUTRE PERSONNE OU ENTITÉ POUR TOUT DOMMAGE INDIRECT, ACCESSOIRE, CONSÉCUTIF, SPÉCIAL, EXEMPLAIRE OU PUNITIF (Y COMPRIS, SANS LIMITATION, TOUT PERTE DE PROFITS, DOMMAGES RÉSULTANT DE LA PERTE DE DONNÉES, VIOLATION DE SÉCURITÉ, DOMMAGES MATÉRIELS, PERTES DE REVENUS, ÉCONOMIES PERDUES OU PERTE D’AFFAIRES) DÉCOULANT DE OU EN LIEN AVEC CE CLUF, LA PERFORMANCE DU LOGICIEL OU LES SERVICES FOURNIS PAR LE CONCÉDANT, QUE CETTE PARTIE AIT ÉTÉ INFORMÉE OU NON DE LA POSSIBILITÉ DE TELS DOMMAGES.
Les limitations de responsabilité énoncées dans cette Section survivront et s’appliqueront nonobstant l’échec de tout recours pour violation de garantie prévu dans ce CLUF et les Commandes y afférents.

Les Distributeurs doivent être autorisés par le Concédant à distribuer le logiciel pour que cette licence soit valide. Ce Contrat s’applique à chaque Commande. Une Commande peut établir les prix et le volume/les quantités du Logiciel sous licence mais ne peut pas modifier le présent Contrat à moins que la Commande n’indique expressément que les conditions de la Commande remplacent le présent Contrat, et que cette disposition est signée séparément par le Concédant. Le Concédant possède et conserve le droit, le titre et l’intérêt exclusifs, y compris les droits de propriété intellectuelle, sur le logiciel et la documentation du logiciel et tous les logiciels et la documentation du logiciel et les copies qui en sont faites sont concédées sous licence et non vendues.

TYPES DE LICENCES

Le logiciel peut être concédé sous licence dans une commande en tant que Licence Gratuite, Licence Hardware Lifetime, Licence Perpétuelle ou en tant que Licence à Durée Déterminée. Une Licence Gratuite est soumise aux conditions particulières de la section «CONDITIONS D’UTILISATION DE LA LICENCE GRATUITE » ci-dessous. Une Licence Hardware Lifetime désigne une licence du logiciel qui est liée à un périphérique matériel de stockage donné pour la capacité de stockage utilisable de l’appareil (telle que définie ci-dessous) mesurée en téraoctets comme spécifié sur une commande et concédée sous licence pour une utilisation sur cet appareil. Une Licence Perpétuelle désigne une licence perpétuelle d’utilisation d’une version particulière du Logiciel pour une capacité de stockage utilisable spécifiée (HDD et SSD) mesurée en téraoctets comme spécifié sur une Commande. Une Licence Perpétuelle n’expire pas (à moins que le Titulaire de la License ne viole le présent Contract, toute commande ou tout autre accord avec le Concédant) et n’est pas liée à un périphérique matériel de stockage spécifique, cependant, à moins que le Titulaire de la License n’achète également la maintenance et l’assistance, n’inclut pas les mises à jour ou les mises à niveau du Logiciel après la fin de toute période de maintenance et d’assistance payée. Une Licence à Durée Déterminée désigne une licence d’utilisation du Logiciel pour une période de temps spécifique ou pour une capacité de stockage utilisable spécifique, ou les deux, comme indiqué sur la Commande. Dans le présent Contrat, le terme « Licence Commerciale » désigne une Licence Hardware Lifetime, une Licence Perpétuelle ou une Licence à Durée Déterminée.  

CONDITIONS D’UTILISATION DE LICENCES

À moins que le Titulaire de la License ne viole le présent Contrat ou la Commande et que le Concédant ne résilie ce Contrat et/ou une Commande, le Concédant accorde au Titulaire de la License un droit mondial, limité, non exclusif, non transférable et non sous-licenciable :

Pour une Licence Hardware Lifetime: licence perpétuelle d’utilisation de la version de code objet du Logiciel sur le matériel désigné dans la Commande, jusqu’à la capacité de stockage utilisable spécifiée sur la Commande, à l’emplacement ou aux emplacements indiqués sur la Commande.

Pour une Licence à Durée Déterminée : pendant la durée indiquée sur une commande, licence d’utilisation de la version du code objet du logiciel jusqu’à la capacité de stockage utilisable indiquée sur le bon de commande (si la commande ne spécifie pas une quantité spécifique de stockage, le stockage limite sera d’un téraoctet) au(x) emplacement(s) indiqué(s) sur la Commande.

Le Titulaire de la License est également autorisé à utiliser et à faire des copies internes de toute la documentation du Logiciel fournie par le Concédant uniquement dans le cadre de l’utilisation du Logiciel comme autorisé ci-dessus. Le Titulaire de la License peut faire des copies internes du Logiciel uniquement à des fins de sauvegarde et de restauration, mais ne peut pas utiliser ces copies du Logiciel pour une utilisation directe ou en production, ou à des fins génératrices de revenus (Utilisation en production).

La « capacité de stockage utilisable » est calculée en divisant la « total raw capacity » utilisée pour stocker les données (dont la capacité totale des disques utilisés pour stocker les données) par le « data protection overhead » requis pour protéger les données sur ce matériel selon la formule ci-jointe :

données utilisables = (raw storage used to store data) / (data protection overhead).

Le Titulaire de la License ne peut utiliser le Logiciel que sur le système d’exploitation répertorié sur le site Web du Concédant à l’adresse www.scality.com comme étant compatible avec le Logiciel.

CONDITIONS D’UTILISATION DE LA LICENCE GRATUITE 

Le Concédant peut établir le droit d’utiliser le logiciel sans frais pour une capacité de stockage utilisable telle que définie ci-dessus (le « niveau gratuit »). Tout niveau gratuit sera indiqué sur le site Web du Concédant. La quantité de capacité de stockage utilisable dans un niveau gratuit peut être utilisée sur une seule instance matérielle ou virtuelle et ne peut pas être répartie sur plusieurs instances matérielles ou virtuelles. Le Concédant peut modifier la quantité de capacité de stockage utilisable pour l’offre gratuite à tout moment, y compris la résilier complètement. Bien que le Titulaire de la License puisse utiliser l’offre gratuite dans le cadre d’une production régulière, le Titulaire de la License reconnaît que le droit du Concédant de modifier ou même de résilier le programme de l’offre gratuite signifie qu’à tout moment, l’utilisation du Titulaire de la License peut ne plus être admissible à l’offre gratuite. Si le Concédant apporte une modification à l’offre gratuite, tous les frais et charges liés à l’utilisation du Logiciel en dehors du niveau gratuit ne s’appliqueront qu’à partir de la date à laquelle le Concédant effectue la modification et publie cette modification sur son site Web. Le Concédant peut à tout moment demander à un titulaire de licence utilisant l’offre gratuite de confirmer que sa capacité de stockage utilisable est égale ou inférieure au niveau d’offre gratuite alors en vigueur, et/ou de confirmer sa capacité de stockage totale utilisable sur une période donnée. Le Titulaire de la License doit confirmer rapidement sa capacité de stockage utilisable pour les périodes demandées, et si le Concédant a activé cette fonctionnalité dans le Logiciel, fournir rapidement au Concédant tout rapport de capacité de stockage utilisable activé dans le Logiciel.

LOGICIELS TIERS

Le Concédant peut distribuer des logiciels appartenant à des tiers (Logiciels Tiers) avec le logiciel. Les Logiciels Tiers peuvent être soumis à d’autres conditions d’utilisation de licence. Dans la mesure où le Concédant a le droit de distribuer un tel Logiciel Tiers, le Concédant accorde au Titulaire de la License tous les droits que le Concédant possède sur le Logiciel Tiers à utiliser en relation avec le Logiciel. Le Logiciel Tiers qui n’est pas intégré dans l’image du Logiciel exécutable fournie par le Concédant n’est pas un « Logiciel » au sens du présent Contrat et le Concédant ne fait aucune déclaration ou garantie à l’égard de ce Logiciel Tiers.

LIMITATIONS

Sauf comme expressément autorisée au présent Contrat, le Titulaire de la licence ne peut pas, directement ou indirectement par l’intermédiaire d’un tiers, reproduire, modifier, traduire ou autrement créer des œuvres dérivées, louer, prêter ou autrement distribuer, copier, décompiler, désassembler, « reverse engineer » ou tenter de reconstruire, d’identifier ou de découvrir tout code source, idées sous-jacentes, processus ou algorithmes par quelque moyen juridique ou technique que ce soit, en ce qui concerne tout ou partie du Logiciel, la documentation du Logiciel ou les Informations confidentielles du Concédant (définies ci-dessous). Le Concédant se réserve tous les droits sur le Logiciel, la documentation du Logiciel et les Informations confidentielles du Concédant qui ne sont pas expressément accordés dans les présentes ou dans une Commande. 

AUTRES RESTRICTIONS  

Sauf indication contraire dans une Commande ou approuvée par écrit par le Concédant, le Titulaire de la License ne peut pas directement ou indirectement par l’intermédiaire de ou avec un tiers : (i) déplacer le Logiciel vers un emplacement autre que l’emplacement initial indiqué sur la Commande initiale ; (ii) publier ou divulguer des caractéristiques, fonctionnalités, attributs, résultats de tout test ou étude comparative ou comparative du Logiciel ou de la documentation ou utiliser ces résultats ou informations pour toute activité de développement de logiciel ; (iii) supprimer toute identification de produit, propriété, copyright ou autres avis contenus dans le logiciel ou la documentation ; ou (iv) utiliser le Logiciel sur tout environnement matériel ou système autre que ceux approuvés par le Concédant. 

MISES A JOUR ET MISES A NIVEAU 

Le Logiciel comprend des correctifs, des mises à jour, des améliorations, des ajouts et d’autres modifications qui peuvent ultérieurement être mis à la disposition du Titulaire de la License dans la mesure prévue dans une Commande applicable pour les services de maintenance et d’assistance pour les Licences commerciales. Le Concédant ne s’engage pas à mettre à jour, à mettre à niveau ou à fournir une assistance pour les licences gratuites. Sauf disposition contraire dans une Commande de services de maintenance et d’assistance, le Concédant peut décider qu’il ne prendra pas en charge une version particulière du Logiciel concédé sous Licence Commerciale avec un préavis d’au moins un an au Titulaire de la licence.

AJOUT DE CAPACITÉ DE STOCKAGE

Le Titulaire de la License informera le Concédant de toute augmentation prévue de la capacité de stockage utilisable sur une Licence Commerciale à ajouter à une Commande avant que cette capacité de stockage utilisable ne soit ajoutée. Le Titulaire de la License doit également informer le Concédant de toute augmentation prévue de la capacité de stockage utilisable sur une Licence gratuite lorsque cette augmentation dépassera le Niveau gratuit alors applicable, avant que cette capacité de stockage utilisable ne soit ajoutée. Le Concédant générera une Commande sur cette base. Le Titulaire de la License sera responsable des Frais (aux taux standards du Concédant, si aucun n’est indiqué dans une Commande) pour cette capacité de stockage utilisable ajoutée à compter de la date de cet ajout, qu’il en ait informé le Concédant ou non. Le Titulaire de la License fournira au Concédant un rapport sur la capacité de stockage réellement utilisable du système du Titulaire de la License sur une base trimestrielle, y compris un rapport sur les nouveaux périphériques de stockage introduits au cours du trimestre précédent. Le Concédant « ajustera » en conséquence les Redevances de licence qui sont dues sur cette base et facturera le Titulaire de la License si nécessaire. Si un périphérique de stockage donné contenant le logiciel sous licence sur la base d’une Licence Hardware Lifetime est mis hors service et remplacé par un nouveau périphérique, le titulaire de la licence devra acheter une nouvelle Licence Hardware Lifetime pour le nouveau périphérique.

FRAIS (si applicable)

Cette section ne s’applique pas aux commandes reçues par le Concédant de la part d’un tiers (y compris, liste non limitative, un revendeur agréé, un distributeur agréé).

Le Titulaire de la License doit payer au Concédant tous les montants indiqués dans une Commande dans les délais prévus dans cette Commande (Frais) ou si aucun délai n’est indiqué, dans les trente (30) jours calendaires suivant la date d’une facture émise par le Concédant ou un Distributeur. Le Titulaire de la License paiera un intérêt de retard égal au taux des opérations principales de refinancement de la Banque Centrale Européenne majoré de dix (10) points par an, appliqué au montant dû en retard, des frais de recouvrement forfaitaires d’un montant minimum de 40 € par facture impayée, et tous les autres coûts liés aux efforts de recouvrement réussis du Concédant. Si le Titulaire de la License ne paie pas un montant non contesté à l’échéance, alors en plus d’évaluer les intérêts et autres frais ci-dessus, le Concédant peut (a) par notification écrite au Titulaire de la License résilier tout ou partie des Licences jusqu’à ce qu’il soit payé ; (b) suspendre tout ou partie des services jusqu’à leur paiement, y compris les services de maintenance et d’assistance (y compris les services de soins dédiés) ; et/ou (c) exiger des garanties de paiement raisonnables sous une forme satisfaisante pour le Concédant.  

TAXES (si applicable)

Cette section ne s’applique pas aux commandes reçues par le Concédant de la part d’un tiers (y compris, liste non limitative, un revendeur agréé, un distributeur agréé).

Tous les montants à payer excluent toutes les taxes applicables sur la valeur ajoutée, les ventes, l’utilisation et autres et tous les frais d’exportation et d’importation, les droits de douane et les frais similaires applicables. Le Titulaire de la License est responsable du paiement de toutes ces taxes (autres que les taxes basées sur les revenus du Concédant), frais, droits et charges, ainsi que de toutes pénalités et intérêts connexes, découlant de l’octroi de la licence aux présentes et/ou de la réception des services du Concédant. Le Titulaire de la License effectuera tous les paiements en franchise et sans réduction de toute retenue à la source. Si le Titulaire de la License a l’obligation de retenir des montants, le Titulaire de la License majorera les paiements afin que le Concédant reçoive le montant réellement proposé et facturé. Si le Concédant a l’obligation légale de payer ou de percevoir des taxes dont le Titulaire de la License est responsable en vertu de la présente section, le montant approprié sera facturé et payé par le Titulaire de la License, à moins que le Titulaire de la License ne fournisse au Concédant un certificat d’exonération fiscale valide autorisé par l’autorité fiscale compétente.

FACTURES CONTESTEES (si applicable)  

Cette section ne s’applique pas aux commandes reçues par le Concédant de la part d’un tiers (y compris, liste non limitative, un revendeur agréé, un distributeur agréé).

Le Titulaire de la License, s’il est de bonne foi, peut contester tout montant dû en fournissant un avis écrit au plus tard à la date d’échéance de la facture, y compris une explication détaillée de la base du différend. Le Titulaire de la License doit payer en temps opportun la partie non contestée de la facture, et doit travailler avec diligence avec le Concédant pour résoudre le différend. Les montants contestés comme indiqué au présent Contrat ne sont pas soumis aux intérêts et autres frais de retard dans la section Frais ci-dessus, à condition que les montants soient payés dans les 15 jours calendaire suivant la résolution du différend. Le Titulaire de la License ne peut pas contester plus du montant le plus élevé entre : trois (3) mois de frais annuels ou 20 % de toutes les factures alors impayées. Un tel défaut de paiement du plus élevé de ces deux montants constitue une violation substantielle du présent Contrat par le Titulaire de la License.

Le fait de ne pas contester une facture ne constitue pas une renonciation aux autres droits dans le présent Contrat. 

 AUDIT

Cette section ne s’applique pas aux commandes reçues par le Concédant de la part d’un tiers (y compris, liste non limitative, un revendeur agréé, un distributeur agréé).

Pendant la durée du présent Contrat et de toutes les Commandes applicables et un (1) an par la suite, (a) le Titulaire de la licence conservera tous les livres, registres, contrats et comptes relatifs à son utilisation du Logiciel, la réception des Services, le paiement des Frais et la conformité générale au présent Contrat et aux Commandes applicables, et (b) le Concédant aura le droit, à ses frais et dans des conditions raisonnables de temps et de lieu, d’auditer et de copier tout ou partie de ces enregistrements. Le Concédant n’est pas autorisé à effectuer plus de deux (2) audits au cours d’une année civile donnée. Si un tel audit révèle une violation du présent Contrat ou des Commandes applicables ou un sous-paiement de tout montant par le Titulaire de la License ou ses employés ou agents, le Titulaire de la License doit, en plus des autres droits et recours dont pourrait disposer le Concédant à la suite d’une telle violation, payer au Concédant le coût raisonnable de cet audit et de cette copie. Le Concédant utilisera les informations obtenues à partir d’un tel audit uniquement pour vérifier et faire respecter la conformité du Titulaire de la licence aux termes du présent Contrat et des Commandes applicables, pour se conformer à toutes les exigences de rapport gouvernementales et à d’autres fins requises par la loi.

DCS-F   

Le service DCS-F comprend les services d’assistance supplémentaires suivants : 

  1. Jusqu’à 5 jours ouvrés par an (40 heures), consommés par incréments d’au moins une heure, pour des conseils généraux ou un diagnostic en dehors de la correction des erreurs (incluse dans les services M&S standard). Un jour ouvrable est du lundi au vendredi, à l’exception des jours fériés du concédant. L’assistance fournie les jours autres que les jours ouvrables est multipliée par 2 pour calculer les jours ouvrables (c’est-à-dire qu’une heure d’assistance un jour non ouvré compte pour 2 heures d’assistance en jour ouvré). Un jour ouvrable est composé de 8 heures. Ces jours expireront à la fin de chaque période annuelle couverte.
  2. L’accès à la solution avancée de surveillance et d’alerte du concédant (Advanced Monitoring/Alerting Service) permet une surveillance proactive et des événements alarmants. Il collecte et transmet les informations sur l’état du Logiciel au Concédant, y compris les capacités des composants, les opérations. Les informations sont affichées via une plate-forme de surveillance et un système d’alarme alerte le centre de support du Concédant et le Licencié en cas de comportements anormaux ou d’événements définis comme déclencheurs. Le service de surveillance/alerte avancé n’est pas utilisé pour faire fonctionner de manière proactive le système du titulaire de licence ou le logiciel, mais réagit aux conditions environnementales et fournit des informations au personnel qualifié ou à d’autres systèmes électroniques. La collecte de données et la surveillance à distance du service de surveillance/alerte avancé sont effectuées uniquement dans le but limité d’améliorer les performances, les fonctionnalités et la qualité de service du logiciel fournis au titulaire de la licence, et de soutenir la capacité du concédant à respecter les niveaux de service ci-dessous.
  3. Le Concédant fournira une ressource au Licencié qui servira de point de contact unique (le « contact unique ») pour le Licencié pour tout problème nécessitant une assistance technique. Le contact unique sera basée dans la même région que le licencié (par exemple, Europe, Amérique, Asie). Le Licencié ne peut pas ouvrir de tickets d’assistance via la contact unique, ni le contact unique ne peut ouvrir des tickets d’assistance pour le Licencié ; le Licencié doit utiliser le système de ticket de support standard dans le cadre des services M&S.  
  4. Assistance à distance. Le concédant sera disponible pour répondre aux questions et fournir les connaissances disponibles au titulaire de licence lors des mises à jour et des mises à niveau.
  5. Les communications avec le Concédant et l’assistance fournie par le Concédant comme indiqué ci-dessus seront prises en compte dans le décompte des Heures d’assistance incluses.  

DCS-X 

Le service DCS-X comprend les services d’assistance, les niveaux de service et les crédits de niveau de service suivants:

  1. Jusqu’à 20 jours ouvrables, tels que définis ci-dessus, par an (160 heures) au total (sans s’ajouter aux heures d’assistance incluses sous DCS-F), consommés par incréments d’au moins une heure, pour des conseils généraux ou un diagnostic en dehors de la correction des erreurs (incluse dans les services M&S standard). Ces jours expireront à la fin de chaque période annuelle couverte.      
  2. Revue trimestrielle. Le Concédant effectuera un examen trimestriel par téléconférence avec le Licencié, à la demande du Licencié. Cet examen comprendra un rapport sur les tickets de support, un examen de la configuration et des performances, ainsi qu’une évaluation des capacités pour prédire les besoins futurs du licencié et une feuille de route suggérée sur la meilleure façon de répondre à ces besoins. L’évaluation de la capacité ne sera fournie que si le Licencié utilise et a mis en œuvre le service de surveillance/alerte avancé, et que le Licencié a mis en œuvre les procédures et les recommandations critiques requises par le Concédant pour permettre au Concédant d’examiner le système du Licencié pour la capacité et le stockage.
  3. Niveaux de service. Le Concédant respectera les Niveaux de service, sous réserve des CONDITIONS et EXCEPTIONS ci-dessous, uniquement en ce qui concerne l’utilisation active et en production du Logiciel, comme suit :
    1. Disponibilité. Le logiciel doit être disponible 100 % du temps au cours d’une année civile donnée. (« disponible » signifie que le Logiciel n’est pas Indisponible tel que défini dans la définition de Priorité 1 dans les Conditions Générales de M&S). 
    2. Temps de réponse. Le concédant accusera réception de chaque demande d’assistance technique de priorité 1 et 2 soumise dans les conditions indiquées aux Conditions Générales M&S dans le délai de réponse indiqué dans les conditions M&S.  
    3. Durabilité des données. Le logiciel, tant qu’il est configuré avec un taux de protection minimum de 3 copies et/ou ARC 9+3 respectera le pourcentage de service de durabilité suivant : Pour une configuration One (1) site : 99.999999999% (i) Pour une configuration multi-site : 99.999999999999% pourcentage de service de durabilité pour une année civile donnée est calculé comme suit :

      (ii) Pourcentage de service de durabilité (%) = Objets conservés / Objets totaux

      (Notez qu’en cas de configurations mixtes, le niveau de service le moins durable s’applique).

    4. Crédits de niveau de service. Le Concédant fournira au Licencié les Crédits de niveau de service suivants en cas de non-respect des Niveaux de service, sous réserve des CONDITIONS et EXCEPTIONS ci-dessous, uniquement en ce qui concerne l’utilisation active et en production du Logiciel :

      (i) Crédit de niveau de service de disponibilité. Dix pour cent (10 %) des frais annuels DCS-X associés au logiciel qui n’a pas atteint ce niveau de service de disponibilité.

      (ii) Crédit de niveau de service de temps de réponse. Un pour cent (1 %) des frais annuels DCS-X associés au Logiciel qui n’a pas atteint ce Niveau de service de temps de réponse.

      (iii) Crédit de niveau de service de durabilité des données. Si un cluster de logiciels ne parvient pas à atteindre le niveau de service de durabilité des données, et si le concédant ne parvient pas à résoudre ce problème dans le délai de restauration du service cible indiqué dans les Conditions Générales M&S, le titulaire de la licence aura droit à un crédit de niveau de service égal à dix pour cent (10 %) des frais annuels DCS-X associés au logiciel qui n’a pas atteint ce niveau de service de durabilité des données. 

      Nonobstant (i)-(iii) ci-dessus :

      Les crédits de niveau de service sont limités à 2 par trimestre civil, et les événements doivent se produire à au moins 7 jours civils d’intervalle pour déclencher un crédit de niveau de service distinct (en d’autres termes, un premier événement déclenchant une violation du niveau de service et un autre événement se produisant 5 jours plus tard pour le même type de violation du niveau de service seront considérés comme une seule et même violation du niveau de service );

      Le maximum de Crédits de niveau de service pouvant être accumulés au cours d’une année civile est limité à 40 % des frais DCS-X payés par le Licencié pour le Logiciel pour lequel ce Crédit de niveau de service a été obtenu.

      Les Crédits de niveau de service seront déduits des frais correspondant à la période de renouvellement M&S et/ou DCS suivant l’évènement générateur. Si le Licencié ne renouvelle aucun service M&S (et/ou aucun service DCS), alors le montant du crédit lui sera payé dans les 45 jours suivant la fin des services M&S/DCS.

    DROIT DE RESILIATION 

    Si le Logiciel n’est pas disponible pendant au moins 99 % au cours d’un d’un trimestre civil, le seul et unique recours du Titulaire de la licence sera de résilier la partie de la Commande de services DCS pour le Logiciel qui ne respecte pas ce niveau de disponibilité.
