Software License Agreement
AGREEMENT by and
between Licensor, and the customer identified below (the "Licensee").
1. License. In
accordance with the terms herein, Licensor grants to Licensee, and Licensee
accepts from Licensor, a perpetual non‑exclusive and non‑transferable
license to use the current version of Licensor's KashLinks Software. The Software shall initially be used only on
equipment and at location(s) identified in Schedule A as “Server Locations” to
operate web sites identified in Schedule A as “Domain Names”. Use of the Software may be subsequently
transferred to Server Locations maintained by Licensee at other locations,
provided (1) the total number of Server Locations at which the Software is used
by Licensee does not exceed the number of Server Locations specified in
Schedule A, (2) the total number of servers at each location does not exceed
the number specified in Schedule A, and (3)
Licensee provides Licensor with written notice 90 days before such
transfer.
2. Copies. The license(s) granted herein include(s) the
right to copy the Software in non‑printed, machine readable form in whole
or in part as necessary for Licensee's own business use subject to the
limitations of paragraph 1. In order to
protect Licensor's intellectual property rights including rights in trade secrets, patents, and copyrights in
the Software, Licensee agrees to reproduce and incorporate Licensor's trade
secret, trademark, patent, and/or copyright notice in any copies in whole or in
part of the Software. Licensee shall maintain no more than three backup copies
of object code for the Software for each Server Location at any time.
3. Price and
Payment. Licensee shall make payment to
Licensor for the Software license pursuant to the fees and payment terms set
forth in Schedule B.
4. Title to Software
and Confidentiality. The Software and
all programs developed derived therefrom and all copies thereof are proprietary
to Licensor and title thereto remains in Licensor. All applicable rights to
patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets in the Software or any
modifications made at Licensee's request are and shall remain in Licensor.
Licensee shall not sell, transfer, publish, disclose, display or otherwise make
available the Software or copies thereof to others. Licensee agrees to secure
and protect each module, software product, documentation and copies thereof in
a manner consistent with the maintenance of Licensor's rights therein and to
take appropriate action by instruction or agreement with its employees or
consultants who are permitted access to each program or software product to
satisfy its obligations hereunder. All copies made by the Licensee of the
Software and other programs developed hereunder, including translations,
compilations, partial copies with modifications and updated works, are the
property of Licensor. Licensee shall not attempt to modify or reproduce the
functionality of the software in any way without prior written permission of
the Licensee. Licensee acknowledges that violation of any provision of this
license will irreparably harm Licensor and shall be the basis for immediate
termination of this License Agreement and obtaining a permanent injunction.
5. Warranty.
(a) The Licensee
must notify Licensor in writing, within thirty (30) days of delivery of the
Software to the Licensee (not including delivery of any subsequent
modifications to the Software), of any claim of defect. If the Software is
found defective by Licensor, Licensor's sole obligation under this warranty is
to attempt to remedy such defect in a manner consistent with Licensor's regular
business practices.
(b) THE ABOVE IS A
LIMITED WARRANTY AND IT IS THE ONLY WARRANTY MADE BY LICENSOR. LICENSOR MAKES
AND LICENSEE RECEIVES NO WARRANTY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED AND THERE ARE EXPRESSLY
EXCLUDED ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. LICENSOR SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER
THIS AGREEMENT FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF IT
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE STATED EXPRESS
WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL LIABILITIES OR OBLIGATIONS OF LICENSOR FOR DAMAGES
ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE DELIVERY, USE, OR PERFORMANCE OF THE
SOFTWARE SYSTEMS.
(c) If Licensee
attempts any unauthorized modifications to the Software, this warranty shall
immediately be terminated. Correction for difficulties or defects traceable to
Licensee's errors or systems shall be billed at Licensor's standard time and
material charges.
(d) Licensee agrees that Licensor's liability
arising out of contract, negligence, strict liability in tort or warranty shall
not exceed any amounts payable by Licensee for the Software identified above.
6. Indemnity. Licensee must notify Licensor in
writing within thirty (30) days of any notification of an alleged or actual
claim that the Software infringes any rights of third parties including but not
limited to patents, copyrights, license, or other property rights or Licensee
waives any claim of indemnification, contribution, subrogation, or otherwise
against Licensor. Licensor shall have
the right, at its option, to control
the defense of all such claims, lawsuits and other proceedings. In no event
shall Licensee settle any such claim, lawsuit or proceeding without Licensor's
prior express written approval. If, as
a result of any claim of infringement against any patent, copyright, license or
other property right, Licensor is enjoined from using the Software, or if
Licensor believes that the Software is likely to become the subject of a claim
of infringement, Licensor at its option and expense may procure the right for
Licensee to continue to use the Software, or replace or modify the Software so
as to make it non‑infringing. If neither of these two options is
reasonably practicable Licensor may discontinue the license granted herein on
one month's written notice and refund to Licensee the unamortized portion of
the license fees hereunder (based on straight line depreciation over the
license term, such depreciation to commence on the date of this Agreement). The
foregoing states the entire liability of Licensor with respect to infringement
of any copyrights or patents by the Software or any parts thereof.
7. Termination. Licensor shall have the right to terminate
this agreement and license(s) granted herein:
(a) Upon ten days'
written notice in the event that Licensee, its officers or employees violates
any provision of this License Agreement including, but not limited to,
confidentiality and payment;
(b) In the event
Licensee (i) terminates or suspends its business; (ii) becomes subject to any
bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding under Federal or state statute or (iii)
becomes insolvent or becomes subject to direct control by a trustee, receiver
or similar authority.
In the event of
termination by reason of the Licensee's failure to comply with any part of this
agreement, or upon any act which shall give rise to Licensor's right to
terminate, Licensor shall have the right, at any time, to terminate the license(s)
and take immediate possession of the Software and documentation and all copies
wherever located, without demand or notice. Within five (5) days after
termination of the license(s), Licensee will return to Licensor the Software in
the form provided by Licensor or as modified by the Licensee whether authorized
or unauthorized, or upon request by Licensor destroy the Software and all
copies, and certify in writing under oath or affirmation that they have been
destroyed. Termination under this paragraph shall not relieve Licensee of its
obligations regarding confidentiality of the Software.
Without limiting any
of the above provisions, in the event of termination as a result of the
Licensee's failure to comply with any of its obligations under this License
Agreement, the Licensee shall continue to be obligated for any payments due.
Termination of the license(s) shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any
equitable remedies available to Licensor.
(d) LICENSEE RECOGNIZES THAT TERMINATION OF THIS
AGREEMENT AS A RESULT OF THE LICENSEE’S FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY OF ITS
OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT, WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE AND
IRREPARABLE HARM TO LICENSOR. IN THE
EVENT OF SUCH TERMINATION, LICENSEE EXPRESSLY AUTHORIZES LICENSOR TO SEEK CANCELLATION
AND/OR TRANSFER OF ANY OF LICENSEE’S REGISTERED DOMAIN NAMES BEFORE ANY
REGISTRATION AUTHORITY OR IN ANY COURT OF LAW.
LICENSEE FURTHER EXPRESSLY AUTHORIZES ANY DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION
AUTHORITY TO EFFECT SUCH TRANSFER OF ANY AND ALL DOMAIN NAMES REGISTERED IN THE
NAME OF LICENSEE TO LICENSOR.
8. Taxes. Licensee
shall, in addition to the other amounts payable under this License Agreement,
pay all sales and other taxes, federal, state, or otherwise, however
designated, which are levied or imposed by reason of the transactions
contemplated by this License Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing,
Licensee shall promptly pay to Licensor an amount equal to any such items
actually paid, or required to be collected or paid by Licensor.
9. Licensed
Locations. Use of the Software by the
Licensee at any location or for any domain name other than those described
above in paragraph I shall be the basis for immediate termination of this
License Agreement. Termination of the License Agreement shall be in addition to
and not in lieu of any equitable remedies available to Licensor as specified in
paragraph 7.
10. Custom
Modifications. All custom modifications to the Software, not including
assisting Licensee in implementation of the Software for a particular
application, website, or domain, shall be undertaken by Licensor at its then
current time and materials charges. For each custom modification requested,
Licensee shall provide written specifications to Licensor, which shall be
mutually agreed upon prior to commencement of such custom modification effort.
11. General.
(a) Each party
acknowledges that it has read this Agreement, it understands it, and agrees to
be bound by its terms, and further agrees that this is the complete and
exclusive statement of the Agreement between the parties, which supersedes and
merges all prior proposals, understandings and all other agreements, oral and
written, between the parties relating to this Agreement. This Agreement may not
be modified or altered except by written instrument duly executed by both
parties.

them by causes beyond its reasonable control.

not assign or sub‑license, without the prior written consent of Licensor,
its rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement to any person or entity,
in whole or in part.
(g) Licensor shall
have the right to collect from Licensee its reasonable expenses incurred in
enforcing this agreement including attorney's fees.
(h) The waiver or
failure of Licensor to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein
shall not be deemed a waiver of any further right hereunder.
(i) Licensee
consents to personal jurisdiction in any judicial district in which any one or
more of Licensee’s servers, web sites, or domains having the Software is
accessible.
