SECTION 1. SOFTWARE.
1.1 Software.
1.1.1 Trial Software. The term of the license for Trial Software is thirty (30) days from the Trial Software installation date (“Evaluation Period“). Licensee may use the Trial Software during the Evaluation Period solely for the purpose of evaluating whether to purchase a license to the Software. Licensee can only obtain one Evaluation Period per release of the Software unless MySmartLogon, in its sole discretion, grants an extension of the Evaluation Period. There is no fee for Licensee’s use of the Software in accordance with this Agreement during the Evaluation Period, however, Licensee is responsible for any applicable shipping charges or taxes which may be incurred under this Agreement, and any fees which may be associated with usage beyond the scope permitted herein. MySmartLogon sales representative may contact Licensee after the download to discuss Licensee’s purchase of a license.
1.1.2 Subscription Software. The term of the license for Subscription Software shall begin and end on the dates set forth in the Order (the “Subscription Term”), unless terminated in accordance with this Agreement or an amendment hereto. Any Subscription Software will automatically renew for subsequent terms of the same duration as the initial Subscription Term and at the same quantities in use at the end of the then-current Subscription Term, unless Licensee notifies MySmartLogon in writing that it will not renew at least sixty (60) days in advance of the end date of the then-current term. MySmartLogon reserves the right to increase fees for each renewal, which increases will be communicated to Licensee prior to expiration of the then-current term. In the event a Subscription Term expires without renewing automatically or being otherwise renewed by Licensee, then Licensee must pay a fee equal to ten percent (10%) multiplied by the fees applicable to the last year of the most recent Subscription Term in order to reinstate its use of the Subscription Software (the “Subscription Reinstatement Fee”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Subscription Reinstatement Fee is in addition to fees for use of the Subscription Software itself.
1.1.3 License Grant to Software. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and, when applicable, the Order, MySmartLogon hereby grants to Licensee, and Licensee accepts from MySmartLogon, a non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable right to install, use, access, run, or otherwise interact with one copy of the Software for Licensee’s and its Affiliates own internal business operations and in accordance with the Documentation. Licensee may make a reasonable number of additional copies of the Software (excluding Trial Software) solely for non-productive, archival purposes; provided that, the original productive and non-productive copies of the same license are not in use at the same time and each copy contains all titles, trademarks, copyrights and restricted rights notices as in the original, and is not provided to any third party. The Software is provided in binary code only. Nothing in this Agreement entitles Licensee to receive source code for the Software. Licensee is responsible for its Affiliates’ compliance with this Agreement and any breach of this Agreement by its Affiliates, and Licensee accepts full liability for all acts and omissions of its Affiliates as if such act or omission was that of Licensee.
1.2 Restrictions. Licensee may not: (a) modify the Software or any portion thereof in any manner; (b) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify, adapt, rent, lease, loan or create derivative works based upon the Software or any part thereof; (c) use the Software as a managed service provider, application service provider, software as a service basis, or in any commercial time share arrangement, or in any other activity intended to directly produce revenue without the prior written consent of MySmartLogon; (d) resell the Software licensed hereunder or use the Software to provide consulting or training services to third parties; (e) assign the Software to a third party for use in managing Licensee’s environment without the prior written consent of MySmartLogon; or (f) install, use, or run the Software in any third party facility, or to enable others to do so (provided that, Licensee may install, use, or run the Software in a third party data center on servers (physical or virtual) that it owns, leases, or otherwise controls). Licensee represents and warrants to MySmartLogon that Licensee shall not, and shall not permit any other person to: (x) use the Software for purposes of (i) benchmarking or competitive analysis of the Software, (ii) developing, using or providing a competing software product or service, or (iii) any other purpose that is to MySmartLogon’s detriment or commercial disadvantage; (y) copy the Software in whole or in part; and (z) use the Software in violation of any law, regulation or rule.
1.3 U.S. Government Users.

Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (or an equivalent provision, e.g., in supplements of various U.S. government agencies, as applicable), all U.S. Government users acquire the Software with only those rights set forth herein. The manufacturer is MySmartLogon SAS, 4 allee des Marronniers, 78110 Le Vesinet, France.
1.4 Export Law Assurances. Licensee shall not export or re-export, or allow the export or re-export of the Software or any copy, portion or direct product of the foregoing, in violation of any export laws, restrictions, national security controls or regulations of France, the United States, or other applicable foreign agency or authority.
1.5 Locking Mechanism. Trial Software and Subscription Software include a locking mechanism that automatically will prevent Licensee’s use of such Software following the expiration of the applicable license term. Licensee may not disrupt, disable or interfere with the locking mechanism, and may not use such Software following the expiration of the applicable license term unless Licensee purchases a license, in the event of Trial Software, or a renewal license, in the event of Subscription Software, from MySmartLogon.
1.6 Reservation of Rights. MySmartLogon reserves all rights, implied or otherwise, which are not expressly granted to Licensee hereunder.

SECTION 3. CONFIDENTIALITY AND PRIVACY.
3.1 Confidentiality. “Confidential Information” means information not generally available to the public disclosed by a Party (“Disclosing Party”) as a result of this Agreement, to which the other Party (“Receiving Party”) gains access to or knowledge of. MySmartLogon’s Confidential Information includes the Software (in source code and/or object code form) and test results regarding the functionality and performance of the Software (whether such tests are conducted by or on behalf of MySmartLogon or Licensee), trade secrets, know-how and any proprietary tools, proprietary knowledge or proprietary methodologies of MySmartLogon and/or its Affiliates. Licensee’s Confidential Information includes information marked “confidential” when disclosed by Licensee to MySmartLogon or other information disclosed by Licensee which a reasonable person would understand to be confidential under the circumstances of disclosure. The Receiving Party shall hold Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in trust and confidence, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid use, reproduction, publication, disclosure, or distribution except as specifically authorized by this Agreement or as reasonably required for performance of its obligations under this Agreement. The obligations of either party under this Agreement will not apply to information that the Receiving Party can demonstrate, at the time of disclosure or when made available by Disclosing Party, (i) was already in its possession without restriction as to confidentiality, (ii) was already available to the public or after disclosure becomes available to the public through no breach of agreement by Receiving Party, or (iii) has been received from a third party without restriction on disclosure and without known breach of agreement. If Receiving Party is required to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party by law, regulation or order of a court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental authority, then the Receiving Party shall furnish prompt written notice of such required disclosure and reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s cost and expense, in any effort made by the Disclosing Party to seek a protective order or other appropriate protection of its Confidential Information. In the event that such order or protection is not obtained, the Receiving Party may furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which, on the written advice of the Receiving Party’s counsel, is legally required to be disclosed and, upon the Disclosing Party’s request, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded to such information.
3.2 Suggestions. To the extent Licensee provides or otherwise communicates any suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations or otherwise provides feedback on the Software or Services (collectively, “Comments”), Licensee hereby grants MySmartLogon a royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, sub-licensable, irrevocable, perpetual, unrestricted license to use and/or incorporate the Comments and all underlying ideas contained in the Comments into the Software or Services (or other product or service offerings) and create any derivative works thereof.
SECTION 4. WARRANTIES.
4.1 “AS-IS” Warranty for Trial Software. LICENSEE AND MySmartLogon AGREE THAT THE TRIAL SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND UNSUPPORTED, AND THAT MySmartLogon MAKES NO WARRANTY AS TO THE TRIAL SOFTWARE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
4.2 Limited Software Warranty for Subscription Software. MySmartLogon warrants that for a period of thirty (30) days from the date MySmartLogon issues Licensee’s license keys for the Software: (i) the media provided by MySmartLogon, if any, on which the Software (excluding Trial Software) is recorded will be free from material defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, and (ii) the Software (excluding Trial Software), as provided by MySmartLogon, will substantially conform to the specifications in the Documentation applicable to such Software (collectively, the “Software Warranties”). Licensee must report in writing any breach of the Software Warranties to MySmartLogon during the warranty period, and Licensee’s exclusive remedy, and MySmartLogon’s sole obligation, for any such breach of warranty shall be for MySmartLogon to either replace defective media and to correct or provide a workaround for reproducible errors that cause a breach of the Software Warranties within a reasonable time considering the severity of the error and its effect on Licensee or, at MySmartLogon’s option, refund the license fees paid for the nonconforming Software upon return of such Software to MySmartLogon and termination of the related license hereunder. The Software Warranties will not apply to the extent arising from: (a) modification of the Software; (b) use of the Software other than in accordance with the Documentation or in violation of this Agreement; (c) the combination of the Software with other elements not supplied by MySmartLogon; or (d) Licensee’s failure to apply an update made available by MySmartLogon as part of Maintenance Services or otherwise recommended by MySmartLogon, which would have resolved the breach of Software Warranties.
4.3 Disclaimer of Other Warranties. THE LIMITED WARRANTIES AS DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION 4 ARE THE ONLY WARRANTIES PROVIDED TO LICENSEE. MySmartLogon AND ITS LICENSORS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH REGARD TO THE SOFTWARE, ANY ACCOMPANYING WRITTEN MATERIALS, AND ANY SERVICES.
