1. LICENSE GRANT AND RIGHT OF USE

   1. License Grant. Subject to all limitations and restrictions contained herein and the Order, Fractilia grants Customer a subscription, nonexclusive and nontransferable right to use the Software as described in the Order (“Use”).

   2. Use. Customer shall not allow any website, that is not fully owned by Customer, to frame, syndicate, distribute, replicate, or copy any portion of Customer’s web site that provides direct or indirect access to the Software.

   3. Additional Restrictions. In no event shall Customer disassemble, decompile, or reverse engineer the Software or Confidential Information (as defined herein) or permit others to do so.  Disassembling, decompiling, and reverse engineering include, without limitation: (i) converting the Software from a machine-readable form into a human-readable form; (ii) disassembling or decompiling the Software by using any means or methods to translate machine-dependent or machine-independent object code into the original human-readable source code or any approximation thereof; (iii) examining the machine-readable object code that controls the Software’s operation and creating the original source code or any approximation thereof by, for example, studying the Software’s behavior in response to a variety of inputs; or (iv) performing any other activity related to the Software that could be construed to be reverse engineering, disassembling, or decompiling.  To the extent any such activity may be permitted pursuant to written agreement, the results thereof shall be deemed Confidential Information subject to the requirements of this Agreement.  Customer may use Fractilia’s Confidential Information solely in connection with the Software and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Furthermore, should Licensee use Fractilia Confidential Informaiton or data obtained from the Software to train Licensee’s or 3rd-party machine learning or artificial intelligence models (“Models”), Licensee must have a currently-valid license for Software at each location where Licensee deploys or otherwise uses such Models.

   4. Taxes. The license, service fees, and other amounts required to be paid hereunder do not include any amount for taxes or levy (including interest and penalties). Customer shall reimburse Fractilia and hold Fractilia harmless for all sales, use, VAT, excise, property or other taxes or levies which Fractilia is required to collect or remit to applicable tax authorities. This provision does not apply to Fractilia’s income or franchise taxes, or any taxes for which Customer is exempt, provided Customer has furnished Fractilia with a valid tax exemption certificate.

   1. Maintenance. Fractilia shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide corrections to reported problems that (i) prevent the Software from conforming in material respects to its specifications, and (ii) are replicated and diagnosed by Fractilia as defects in the Software (“Maintenance and Support Services”). Fractilia shall use commercially reasonable efforts to begin working on a resolution to Customer’s written notice of reported problems within fourteen (14) days, provided corrections shall be prioritized in Fractilia reasonable discretion. A response is not a guaranty of a solution to the reported problem; however Fractilia will keep Customer apprised of the resolution closure. Additional features and functions are not included as part of the maintenance and support services.

   2. Exclusions. Fractilia shall not be obligated to provide Maintenance and Support Services for any software other than the generally available Software delivered to Customer pursuant to this Agreement (collectively the “Unsupported Code”).

Each Statement of Work shall define the Work to be provided to Customer, the applicable pricing, Deliverables to be created thereunder, Customer deliverables and obligations, and all other appropriate terms and conditions.

Fractilia may immediately cease performing Work, without liability, if a Statement of Work expires and is not immediately extended or replaced with a valid Statement of Work.

   6. Customer will then review the Impact Report and approve or deny changes in scope, schedule, and/or budget.

   7. Once Fractilia receives approval, Fractilia will begin work on the specific changes that have been approved.

   8. Rights to Deliverables. Subject to Customer’s full payment for Deliverables, subject to any restrictions contained in the applicable Statement of Work, Fractilia hereby grants to Customer, at no additional charge, an internal, worldwide, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to the object code version of the Deliverables to use and exploit the Deliverables solely in connection with the Software.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to convey any title or ownership rights to the Software or other Confidential Information to Customer or to any patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret embodied therein, or to grant any other right, title, or ownership interest to the Fractilia Confidential Information. Neither party shall, in whole or in part, sell, lease, license, assign, transfer, or disclose the Confidential Information to any third party and shall not copy, reproduce or distribute the Confidential Information except as expressly permitted in this Agreement.
