a.The Software will be supplied free from known viruses, worms, Trojan horses, ransomware, spyware, adware, and other malicious software programs and

b.The Software shall incorporate security features reflecting the requirements of good industry practice.

a.Modify the Software in such a way that it no longer infringes the relevant Intellectual Property Rights or

b.Procure for the Licensee the right to use the Software under this Agreement.

4.11In no event shall Licensor be liable for any damages (including, without limitation, lost profits, business interruption, or lost information) rising out of 'Authorized Users' use of or inability to use the Software, even if the Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Licensor shall have no liability concerning the content of the Software or any part thereof, including but not limited to errors or omissions contained therein, libel, infringements of rights of publicity, privacy, trademark rights, business interruption, personal injury, loss of privacy, moral rights or the disclosure of confidential information.

5. Limitation of liability

5.1Licensor (and its parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, resellers, distributors and vendors, and their officers, representatives, agents, contractors, and employees) shall not be liable for any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, or expenses arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Software or Documentation, or Licensee’s or end user’s use thereof under any contract, negligence, restitution, strict liability, or other legal theory, including but not limited to:

d.Any amounts that exceed the total fees paid by Licensee for the Software during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to such liability.

6. Service level and updates

6.1The Service Level of the platform or connected service (for example, Microsoft Azure) is outside the control of the Licensor. Any downtime on this platform or connected service is subject to Microsoft's relevant SLA. While Licensor will take every precaution and expend all necessary effort to minimize the risk of a breach of the SLA, there may be circumstances outside of the Licensor’s control or the occurrence of unlikely events that may cause the threshold to be reached. Since the Software is not typically characterized as ‘Mission Critical’, the Licensor does not provide any remedy, compensation, or refunds for charges already paid.

6.2Licensor may periodically update and upgrade the software at its discretion. It is the Licensee's obligation to ensure that the Software is updated to the latest version.

6.3Operating with an older version of the Software is at the Licensee’s discretion and will be deemed unsupported by Licensor. Support for older versions of the Software can be provided on a case-by-case basis – and based on a separate agreement. This is solely determined by Licensor.

6.4In the event of a breach of the foregoing warranty, the Licensor shall, at its discretion,

a.Deliver a new copy of the Software without the defect or error, or

b.Remedy or correct the defect or error free of charge if the Licensee provides reasonable information (e.g., error logs) for the Licensor to assess and remedy the breach.

6.5Reporting an error in the licensed Software, including error logs, is done through the Projectum Ticket Management System (TMS), for which Licensee can provide further information on the error. TMS provides the ability to follow the progress of the remedy process.

6.6 Licensee must provide Projectum with reliable, accurate, and complete information as required and must ensure that all assumptions are correct.

a.If Projectum concludes a bug or error not to originate from the Projectum Software, Licensee accepts to cover costs (consumed time) related to the reported ticket. Cost pertaining to consumed time is invoiced at a negotiated rate pr. hour. Examples of such incidents are:

i. Errors in a third-party application, product, or service, e.g., a product update or undocumented error.

ii. Issues defined as an error in existing customization or configuration, a mistake made by a person, or a faulty process.

7. Confidentiality

7.1 Each party (the "Receiving Party") understands that the other party (the "Disclosing Party") has disclosed or may disclose business, technical or financial information relating to the Disclosing Party’s business (hereinafter referred to as "Proprietary Information" of the Disclosing Party). Proprietary Information of the Licensor includes non-public information regarding features, functionality, and performance of the Software and its codes. Proprietary Information of the Licensee includes non-public data provided by the Licensee to the Licensor to enable the provision of the Software. The Receiving Party agrees: (i) to take reasonable precautions to protect such Proprietary Information, and (ii) not to use (except in performance of the Services or as otherwise permitted herein) or divulge to any third person any such Proprietary Information. The Disclosing Party agrees that the foregoing shall not apply concerning any information after five (5) years following the disclosure thereof or any information that the Receiving Party can document (a) is or becomes generally available to the public or (b) was in its possession or known by it before receipt from the Disclosing Party, or (c) was rightfully disclosed to it without restriction by a third party, or (d) was independently developed without the use of any Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party or (e) is required to be disclosed by law.

8. Termination

8.3 Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately by giving written notice of termination to the other party if:

a. The other party commits any material breach of this Agreement, and the breach is not remediable; or

b. The other party commits a material breach of this Agreement, and the breach is remediable, but the other party fails to remedy the breach within 30 days following the giving of a written notice to the other party requiring the breach to be remedied or

c. The other party persistently breaches this Agreement (irrespective of whether such breaches collectively constitute a material breach).

8.4 Termination for Convenience: Either party may terminate this Agreement for any reason by providing 120 days written notice to the other party. In such cases, any prepaid fees covering the subscription period beyond the termination date will be refunded to the Licensee.

8.5No matter the reason behind the termination of this Agreement the other party must destroy all copies of the Software and Documentation in its possession.

8.6In addition to the foregoing, either Licensee or Projectum may immediately terminate any executed Agreement and this specific Agreement by written notice to the other party if: (i) the other party ceases to do business or becomes insolvent; (ii) upon the institution by the other party of insolvency, receivership or bankruptcy proceedings or any other proceedings for the settlement of debt; (iii) upon the institution of such proceedings against the other party, which are not dismissed or otherwise resolved in such party’s favor within sixty (60) days thereafter; or (iv) upon the other party making a general assignment for the benefit of creditors. In any such case, no Fees paid hereunder shall be subject to repayment or credit in whole or in part in connection with any such termination, nor relieve Licensee of its obligations to make all payments due hereunder without deduction, offset, setoff, counterclaim, or reduction, recoupment, or other charges.

8.7All sections of this Agreement, which by their nature should survive termination or expiration, will survive termination or expiration, including, without limitation, accrued rights to payment, confidentiality obligations, intellectual property rights, warranty disclaimers, limitations of liability, and miscellaneous provisions.

9. General

9.1 No breach of any provision of this Agreement shall be waived except with the express written consent of the party not in breach.

9.2 If any provision of this Agreement is determined by any court or other competent authority to be unlawful and/or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will continue in effect. If any unlawful and/or unenforceable provision would be lawful or enforceable if part of it were deleted, that part will be deemed to be deleted. The rest of the provision will continue in effect (unless that would contradict the clear intention of the parties, in which case the entirety of the relevant provision will be deemed to be deleted).

9.3 This Agreement may not be varied except by a written document signed by or on behalf of each party.

9.4Either party may assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer all or any part of this Agreement without prior written consent from the other party to any affiliate, provided that the assigning party shall be responsible for any failure of such affiliate to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Any other assignation, delegation, or transfer is subject to the other party's approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

9.5This Agreement and the associated Software Subscription Agreement, quote, invoice, or order form, is the entire agreement between Licensor and Licensee regarding the Licensee's use of the Software and Documentation and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals, or representations, written or oral, concerning its subject matter. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency among the following documents, the order of precedence shall be (1) the applicable Software Subscription Agreement, quote, invoice, or order form, (2) any exhibit, schedule, or addendum to this Agreement, (3) the body of this Agreement, and (4) the Documentation.

9.6The parties are independent contractors. This Agreement does not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary, or employment relationship between the parties.

9.7This Agreement and all matters arising out of or relating to it shall be governed by and construed exclusively under the laws of Denmark, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule.

9.8Except for the use of a Trial License during the Subscription Period, Projectum may, no more than once every 12 months, upon seven (7) days prior written notice to Licensee, appoint Projectum personnel or an independent third-party auditor (who is obliged to maintain confidentiality) to inspect Licensee records, systems, and if necessary only, its facilities to verify that Licensee’s installation and use of Software conform with the license(s) granted by Projectum. If the audit discloses a shortfall in licenses for the Software, Licensee will immediately acquire any necessary licenses and subscriptions and pay applicable fees.

9.9The courts in Copenhagen, Denmark, will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute relating to this Agreement, and each party consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts.

9.1Both parties must comply with the ‘GDPR’ (the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679).

10. Invoicing and system data

10.1 Licensor might collect usage data from the Software to calculate license-based consumption, operate effectively, and optimize the Software. Collected usage data does not include data that can identify or be reverse-engineered to identify a person, such as ID, name, or initials. The Software does not contain or collect data about ethnicity, religious or political beliefs, sexual orientation, or any health information. As such, this form of data cannot be included in usage data.

10.2Licensor collects data about how the Licensee interacts with the Software. This data collection complies with GDPR and other applicable data protection laws and does not include personally identifiable information. The data collection can include:

a.A number of resources, time registrants, users, projects, etc., as outlined in the Software Subscription Agreement, order form, quote, or invoice, as the case may be.

b.Product use data: how features are used by the Licensee and how often they are used.

c.Platform: the Licensee’s platform, operating system, and browser used to connect to the Software. This includes version information.

d.Error reports and performance data: data about the software's performance and any problems the Licensee might experience.

10.3 Licensor uses the data collected to improve the Software and provide product functionalities and solution performance enhancements - general usability of the solution for end-users, including behavioral and user interface optimizations, general statistical performance optimizations, and optimized BOT, AR, AI, and Machine Learning improvements for the benefit of the industry.

10.4Licensor does not use this data for advertising purposes.

11. License fees

11.1Licensee shall pay to Licensor the then applicable license fees outlined in the Software Subscription Agreement, order form, quote, or invoice, as the case may be. All license fees cover a subscription period of twelve (12) months unless otherwise agreed in writing. To avoid doubt, the parties agree that subscription License Fees are fully earned upon the grant of the Software license. All License Fees are prepaid annually without any deduction, offset, setoff, counterclaim, reduction, recoupment, or other charge and are non-refundable, except as set out expressly in Clause 8, Termination.

11.2If it is revealed that Licensee has surpassed its applicable usage limits or Permitted Usage for the Software, it shall pay additional Subscription License Fees for the necessary license. The Subscription License Fee increase shall be based on the then-current Subscription License Fees payable by Licensee pro-rated and co-termed to the applicable invoicing schedule in the Software Subscription Agreement. The parties shall work in good faith to execute an updated Software Subscription Agreement to reflect the actual Software License usage and updated Subscription License Fees.

11.3Unpaid amounts are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of collection and may result in immediate termination of the license granted to Licensee hereunder.

11.4Licensee is responsible for all taxes associated with the Software, if any, other than domestic taxes based on Licensor’s net income.

11.5All Projectum Software Licenses will be invoiced upon Licensee's signing of the Subscription Agreement. If the Projectum Software License has a Subscription License Fee, the subscription period will start when the product(s) are installed or when the Software Subscription Agreement is signed, whichever comes first.

11.6It is the obligation of Licensee to update Projectum on any changes required for future invoicing of upcoming subscription periods. This is related to requirements for new PO number(s) and increasing or decreasing the number of users, resources, time-registrants, or any other usage-based fees.

12. Annual price adjustment

12.1 The software license fee will be updated yearly, effective every January 1, to reflect inflation rates. The adjustment is calculated based on Denmark's Consumer Price Index. No reductions in the license fee will occur in the event of disinflation.

13. Force majeure

13.1 Neither party is liable for a breach or delay in performance that is caused by an event beyond its reasonable control, including a natural disaster, disease outbreak, war, riot, terrorist action, civil commotion, malicious damage, government action, industrial action, or dispute, fire, flood, storm, or failure of third-party telecommunications or other services. To avoid doubt, this Section shall not affect Licensee’s or, if applicable, Partner’s/Contracting Entity’s payment obligations under the Agreement.

14. Special terms: partners executing a purchase order on behalf of licensee

14.1 A Partner is a separate legal entity with which Projectum has a valid partner contract for promoting and sublicensing the Software and related Services or for placing and processing orders from Licensees identified in a Software Subscription Agreement. The partner shall take on the payment obligations on behalf of the Licensee.

14.2 If a Partner/Contracting Entity is entering into a Software Subscription Agreement on behalf of Licensee, then references in Section 11 (License Fees), Section 8 (Termination), and obligation to provide specific notices relating to the Agreement and use of the Software may be provided by Projectum to Partner or Contracting Entity (as applicable), and Licensee may provide notices and communications to Projectum through Partner/Contracting Entity. To avoid doubt, any reference to “Licensee” in the sections mentioned herein shall also be deemed to refer to Partner/Contracting Entity as applicable if they have entered into the Software Subscription Agreement on behalf of Licensee.

14.3 To avoid doubt, this Agreement governs Licensee’s use of the Software provided by Projectum Projectum’s’ Affiliates only. Licensee acknowledges that Projectum or its Affiliates will not be responsible for any terms, conditions, license grant, warranties, pricing commitments, or any additional obligations offered to Licensee by the Partner/Contracting Entity or its Affiliates or any third party in any contract or otherwise if Projectum is not a party to that agreement.

14.4 All terms that contradict or exceed the terms of this Agreement, or an Agreement made directly with Projectum, are not Projectum’s responsibility, and Projectum disclaims any liability regarding such terms, even if those terms reference Projectum. Projectum shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of the Partner/Contracting Entity or its Affiliates or for any third-party products or services provided to Licensee by such Partner/Contracting Entity, its Affiliates, or any other third party.
