THIS SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is
entered into by and between Vistrian, Inc., a
California corporation having its principal place of
business at the address listed below ("Vistrian"),
and New Client, having its principal place of
business at the address listed below (“Licensee”) to
permit Licensee to use Vistrian’s software product
in object code form (“Software”) and related
documentation (“Documentation”) (the Software and
Documentation are referred to collectively as the
“Product”), identified in Exhibit A.
1. License. Subject to Licensee’s payment
of the License Fee (as defined in Section 4 below)
and other terms and conditions of this Agreement,
Vistrian grants Licensee a non-exclusive,
non-transferable, license to install, execute,
display and otherwise use the Product for Licensee’s
internal business purposes in Continuous Monitoring
of Factory Floor Equipment. The license includes the
right to use the Software only on the equipment
(“Licensed Equipment”) and at the location
(“Licensed Site”) specified below unless Vistrian
otherwise agrees in writing. The license also
includes the right of Licensee to make the number of
copies of the Software reasonably required for
authorized use under this Agreement, provided that
Licensee maintain on all such copies all proprietary
rights notices of the Software. Licensee may
transfer its rights under this Agreement in its
entirety only to a successor in interest of
Licensee’s business who assumes the obligations of
this Agreement.
2. Proprietary Rights. Licensee
acknowledges and agrees that the Product contains
proprietary and trade secret information of Vistrian.
Other than the limited license granted to Licensee
under Section 1 of this Agreement, Vistrian and its
suppliers, if any, retain all ownership and
proprietary rights in and to the Product, including
any and all copies made by Licensee and any and all
Updates (as defined in the Support Agreement, if
applicable). Licensee will have no right and will
not, nor will it authorize or assist others to: (a)
copy the Documentation, (b) disassemble, reverse
engineer, modify, translate, alter or decompile all
or any portion of the Software or otherwise discern
the source code of the Software except and solely to
the extent permitted under applicable law
notwithstanding this restriction, or (c) use the
Software on a service bureau or time sharing basis
or to provide services to third parties, or (d)
distribute, copy, rent, lease, sublicense, assign,
transmit, sell or otherwise transfer the Product or
any of Licensee’s rights therein, except such
copying and transfer as expressly permitted in
Section 1 of this Agreement. Upon reasonable notice
by Vistrian, Licensee authorizes Vistrian to enter,
during regular business hours, Licensee’s premises
in order to verify Licensee’s compliance with the
terms of this Agreement.
3. Pricing and Payment. Licensee shall pay
the license fee specified in Exhibit A (“License
Fee”) for the Product in U.S. dollars prior to
delivery of the Product. The License Fee is
exclusive of any and all taxes, and Licensee is
responsible for payment of such taxes (excluding
those based on Vistrian’s net income). Licensee
agrees to hold harmless Vistrian from all claims and
liability arising from Licensee’s failure to report
or pay such taxes.
4. Support Services. The License Fee does
not include support, or any configuration or
customization of the Software to Licensee’s system
and specifications or any other services. If
Licensee desires support and maintenance (including
Software updates), such services shall be governed
by Vistrian’s Support Services Agreement (“Support
Agreement”), which shall be attached as Exhibit B.
If Licensee desires any additional services with
respect to the Software, such services shall be
governed by Vistrian’s Service Agreement (“Services
Agreement”), which shall be attached as Exhibit C.
5. Limited Warranties; Disclaimer of
Warranties.
5.1 Vistrian warrants that the Software
will perform substantially in accordance with the
Documentation for a period of 12 months from the
date of delivery of the Software to Licensee (the
“Warranty Period”). Licensee’s sole and exclusive
remedy for breach of this warranty shall be to
notify Vistrian within the Warranty Period,
detailing the nonconformance, and to provide
Vistrian with a reasonable opportunity to correct or
replace the defective Software. If Vistrian fails to
remedy such breach within a reasonable time period
after receipt of Licensee’s notice, Licensee shall
be entitled to terminate this Agreement (including
the license) and obtain a refund of the License Fee
paid to Vistrian. This limited warranty shall be
void if Vistrian determines that the Product has
been used other than in accordance with the
Documentation, abused, modified, altered or
otherwise subjected to damage from accident or acts
of nature. Licensee agrees to comply with Vistrian’s
reasonable instructions with respect to the alleged
defective Product, which may include return of the
defective Product at Vistrian’s expense.
5.2 EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN
SECTION 5.1, THE PRODUCT IS PROVIDED BY COMPANY TO
LICENSEE “AS IS,” AND COMPANY AND ITS SUPPLIERS, IF
ANY, MAKE NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE PRODUCT AND SPECIFICALLY
DISCLAIM THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND AGAINST INFRINGEMENT,
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT POSSIBLE BY LAW. COMPANY DOES
NOT WARRANT THAT THE PRODUCT WILL MEET LICENSEE’S
REQUIREMENTS, OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION OR BE
ERROR FREE. LICENSEE WILL BEAR ALL RISKS RELATING TO
THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCT, AND
ASSUME THE ENTIRE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
5.3 Unless otherwise specified in the
Services Agreement (Exhibit C) Licensee is solely
responsible for proper configuration of all hardware
and other equipment and all databases and other
software used with the Software.
6. Intellectual Property Indemnity.
6.1 Vistrian will defend Licensee from any
claim or action (“Claim”) brought or made by a third
party against Licensee, and will pay any settlements
agreed to by Vistrian or judgments finally awarded
against Licensee in favor of the third party
resulting from such Claim, to the extent based upon
any claim that the Product infringes any valid
United States patent, copyright or trade secret,
provided that Licensee: (a) promptly notifies
Vistrian in writing of any such claim; (b) gives
Vistrian full authority and control of the
settlement and defense of the claim; and (c) fully
cooperates with Vistrian in the defense of such
claims, including providing adequate assistance and
information at Vistrian’s expense.
6.2 Vistrian will have no obligation to
Licensee for any Claim that arises from: (a) any
modification to the Product by anyone other than
Vistrian; (b) modifications made by Vistrian at
Licensee’s request; (c) use of the Product other
than as specified in this Agreement or in the
applicable Documentation; (d) use of prior versions
of the Product after an Update has been provided by
Vistrian to Licensee; or (e) use of the Product in
combination with third-party software, hardware or
data.
6.3 If a Claim arises, or in Vistrian’s
opinion is likely to arise, Vistrian may at its own
expense obtain for Licensee the right to continue
using the Product, modify the Product to make it
non-infringing, or substitute other Product of
similar capability and functionality. If none of
these options are reasonably available to Vistrian,
Vistrian may terminate this Agreement and refund to
Licensee the License Fee paid for the infringing
Product, less a reasonable charge for Licensee’s use
of the Product prior to such termination based on a
3-year life. THIS SECTION 6 STATES THE ENTIRE
OBLIGATION OF COMPANY AND THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES OF
LICENSEE WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS OF INFRINGEMENT
OR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS VIOLATIONS.
7. Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT
SHALL COMPANY, OR ITS SUPPLIERS, IF ANY, BE LIABLE
TO LICENSEE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT,
SPECIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS), OR BE LIABLE TO ANY THIRD
PARTY FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, EVEN IF COMPANY
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSI-BILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES. Vistrian’s entire liability under this
Agreement for any damages from any cause whatsoever,
regardless of form or action, whether in contract,
negligence or otherwise, shall in no event exceed an
amount equal to the License Fee paid by Licensee.
8. Confidential Information. Each party
agrees to keep confidential and to use only for
purposes of performing or as otherwise permitted
under this Agreement, any proprietary or
confidential information of the other party
disclosed pursuant to this Agreement which is marked
as confidential or which would reasonably be
considered of a confidential nature. The obligation
of confidentiality shall not apply to information
which is publicly available through authorized
disclosure, is known by the receiving party at the
time of disclosure as evidenced in writing, is
rightfully obtained from a third party who has the
right to disclose it, or which is required by law,
government order or request to be disclosed.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Licensee
acknowledges and agrees that the Product shall be
deemed to constitute confidential information of
Vistrian. Upon any termination of this Agreement,
each party shall return to the other party all
confidential information of the other party, and all
copies thereof, in the possession, custody or
control of the party unless otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement.
9. Term and Termination.
9.1 Term and Termination. This Agreement
shall become effective on the last date executed
below by either party (the “Effective Date”) and
shall continue in effect until terminated as
provided herein. Either party may terminate this
Agreement by giving the other party written notice
of such termination upon the other party’s breach of
any material term (subject to the breaching party’s
right to cure within 30 days after receipt of such
notice), the other party’s insolvency, making an
assignment for the benefit of creditor,
receivership, or the institution of any similar
proceedings by or against the other party.
9.2 Effect of Termination. Upon
termination of this Agreement, the license granted
to Licensee under this Agreement will revert to
Vistrian and Licensee will cease all use of the
Product. Within ten (10) business days of
termination, Licensee will destroy or deliver to
Vistrian all copies of the Product or any portion
thereof in Licensee’s possession or under its
control, and an officer of Licensee will certify to
Vistrian such destruction or delivery. Licensee’s
failure to comply with the obligations of this
Section will constitute unauthorized use of the
Product, entitling Vistrian to equitable relief as
provided in this Agreement and other legal and
equitable remedies. Sections 3, 6, 7, 8, 9.2 and 11
shall survive any expiration or termination of this
Agreement.
10. United States Government Restricted Rights.
If Licensee is the U.S. Government or if Licensee is
a contractor or subcontractor (at any tier) of the
U.S. Government and is licensing the Software for
use by the U.S. Government or in connection with any
contract or other transaction with the U.S.
Government, Licensee acknowledges that by accepting
delivery of the Software, the Government agrees that
the Software qualifies as commercial computer
software and that the Documentation qualifies as
commercial computer software documentation within
the meaning of the acquisition regulations and
contract clauses applicable to this procurement. The
terms and conditions of this Agreement are fully
applicable to the Government’s use and disclosure of
the Product, and shall supersede any conflicting
terms or conditions. No license of any kind is
granted in the case of acquisitions which contain or
are subject to the clauses FAR 52-227.19 COMMERCIAL
COMPUTER SOFTWARE-RESTRICTED RIGHTS (JUNE 1987) or
DFARS 252.227-7013 RIGHTS IN TECHNICAL DATA AND
COMPUTER SOFTWARE (OCT 1988) or any other clause
which purports to grant to the Government rights
greater than, or additional to those, set forth in
this Agreement, or which purports to impose
additional requirements upon Vistrian to make this
Agreement effective, unless Vistrian specifically so
consents by separate written agreement. Failing such
agreement, and if this Agreement fails to meet the
Government’s stated needs or is inconsistent in any
respect with federal law, the Government agrees to
return the Software and Documentation, unused, to
Vistrian. The Licensor/Manufacturer is Vistrian, 562
Valley Way, Milpitas, CA 95035.
11. Force Majeure. Neither party shall be
liable to the other for any performance delay or
failure to perform hereunder, exclusive of payment
obligations, due to any act, omission or condition
beyond the reasonable control of the affected party,
provided the affected party gives prompt notice to
the other and makes reasonable efforts to resume
performance as soon as possible.
12. Miscellaneous. This Agreement,
together with all Exhibits, constitutes the entire
agreement of the parties, and supersedes any prior
or contemporaneous agree¬ments between the parties,
with respect to the subject of this Agreement.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this
Agreement may be modified only in writing signed by
an authorized representative of each party. This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California
exclusive of its conflict of laws principles. Any
dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement
will be resolved in the state or federal courts in
[Santa Clara County], California, and the parties
hereby expressly consent to jurisdiction therein.
The prevailing party shall be awarded its reasonable
attorneys’ fees and costs in any suit or proceeding
arising out of or related to this Agreement. Notices
under this Agreement shall be in writing, addressed
to the party at its address below, and shall be
deemed given when delivered personally, or by
facsimile (with confirmation of receipt) or
conventional mail (registered or certified, postage
prepaid with return receipt requested). Nothing
contained in this Agreement is intended or is to be
con¬strued to create a partnership, joint venture or
agency relationship. If any provision of this
Agreement shall be declared invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, all remaining provisions shall
continue in full force and effect. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed to limit or delay
Vistrian’s ability to seek immediate relief at law
or in equity for any breach by Licensee of the
license. No waiver of any rights hereunder shall be
deemed to be a waiver of the same or other right on
any other occasion.
