6.7.1. General. You must ensure that your use of Services and all Your Data is at all times compliant with all applicable local, state, federal and international laws and regulations (“Laws”). You represent and warrant that: (i) you have obtained all necessary rights, releases and permissions to provide all Your Data to Railroad Software and to grant the rights granted to Railroad Software in this Agreement and (ii) Your Data and its transfer to and use by Railroad Software as authorized by you under this Agreement do not violate any Laws (including without limitation those relating to export control and electronic communications) or rights of any third party, including without limitation any intellectual property rights, rights of privacy, or rights of publicity, and any use, collection and disclosure authorized herein is not inconsistent with the terms of any applicable privacy policies. Other than its security obligations under Section 6.5 (Security), Railroad Software assumes no responsibility or liability for Your Data, and you shall be solely responsible for Your Data and the consequences of using, disclosing, storing, or transmitting it. You shall keep proper backups of Your Data and the Software. Without limiting the generality of the liability limitations in this Agreement, We are not responsible for any loss of Your Data, “downtime”, or other loss or corruption of other software program files.

6.7.2. Sensitive Data. You will not submit to the Services (or use the Services to collect) any Sensitive Data. You also acknowledge that Railroad Software is not acting as your Business Associate or subcontractor (as such terms are defined and used in HIPAA) and that the Services are not HIPAA compliant. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, Railroad Software has no liability under this Agreement for Sensitive Data.

6.7.3. Indemnity for Your Data. You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Railroad Software from and against any loss, cost, liability or damage, including attorneys’ fees, for which Railroad Software becomes liable arising from or relating to any claim relating to Your Data, including but not limited to any claim brought by a third party alleging that Your Data, or your use of the Services in breach of this Agreement, infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of a third party or violates applicable law. This indemnification obligation is subject to your receiving (i) prompt written notice of such claim (but in any event notice in sufficient time for you to respond without prejudice); (ii) the exclusive right to control and direct the investigation, defense, or settlement of such claim; and (iii) all reasonable necessary cooperation of Railroad Software at your expense.

Nonetheless, if we deem such action necessary based on your violation of this Agreement or in response to takedown requests that we receive following our guidelines for reporting copyright and trademark violations contained in our Privacy Policy, we may (1) remove Your Data from the Services or (2) suspend your access to the Services. We will generally alert you when we take such action and give you a reasonable opportunity to cure your breach, but if we determine that your actions endanger the operation of the Service or other users, we may suspend your access immediately without notice. You will continue to be charged for the Service during any suspension period. We have no liability to you for removing or deleting Your Data from or suspending your access to any Services as described in this section.

6.9. Deletion at End of Subscription Term. We may remove or delete Your Data within a reasonable period of time after the termination of your Subscription Term.

Railroad Software will provide Support and Maintenance during the period for which you have paid the applicable fee. Support and Maintenance will be provided at the support level set forth in Appendix A, which is incorporated herein by this reference.

8.1. Return Policy. During the first thirty (30) days after the effective date of the order, if the Product fails to perform materially in accordance with the Service Description You may terminate your order and receive a refund of the amount paid for the returned Product. In the context of Software, a return means that we will disable the license key that allowed the Software to operate. In the context of Services, a return means that we will disable access to the Service. We will not accept returns after the 30-day return period.

8.2. Delivery. We will deliver the applicable license keys (in the case of Software) or login instructions (in the case of Services) to the email addresses specified in your Order Form when we have received payment of the applicable fees. All deliveries under this Agreement will be electronic. For the avoidance of doubt, you are responsible for installation of any Software, and you acknowledge that Railroad Software has no further delivery obligation with respect to the Software after delivery of the license keys.

8.3. Payment. You agree to pay all fees in accordance with each Order Form. Unless otherwise specified in your Order Form, you will pay all amounts in U.S. dollars at the time you place your Order Form. Other than as expressly set forth in Section 8.1 (Return Policy) and Section 18 (IP Indemnification by Railroad Software), all amounts are non-refundable, non-cancelable and non-creditable. In making payments, you acknowledge that you are not relying on future availability of any Products beyond the current License Term or Subscription Term or any Product upgrades or feature enhancements. If you purchase any Products through a Reseller, you owe payment to the Reseller as agreed between you and the Reseller, but you acknowledge that we may terminate your rights to use Products if we do not receive our corresponding payment from the Reseller.

8.4. Taxes. Your payments under this Agreement exclude any taxes or duties payable in respect of the Products in the jurisdiction where the payment is either made or received. To the extent that any such taxes or duties are payable by Railroad Software, you must pay to Railroad Software the amount of such taxes or duties in addition to any fees owed under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may have obtained an exemption from relevant taxes or duties as of the time such taxes or duties are levied or assessed. In that case, you will have the right to provide to Railroad Software any such exemption information, and Railroad Software will use reasonable efforts to provide such invoicing documents as may enable you to obtain a refund or credit for the amount so paid from any relevant revenue authority if such a refund or credit is available.

We may offer No-Charge Products to you. Your use of No-Charge Products is subject to any additional terms that we specify and is only permitted for the period designated by us. You may not use No-Charge Products for competitive analysis or similar purposes. We may terminate your right to use No-Charge Products at any time and for any reason in our sole discretion, without liability to you. You understand that any Beta Versions that we make available are still under development, may be inoperable or incomplete and are likely to contain more errors and bugs than generally available Products. We make no promises that any Beta Versions will ever be made generally available. In some circumstances, we may charge a fee in order to allow you to access Beta Versions, but the Beta Versions will still remain subject to this Section 9 (No-Charge Products). All information regarding the characteristics, features or performance of Beta Versions constitutes Railroad Software’s Confidential Information. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all obligations or liabilities with respect to No-Charge Products, including any Support and Maintenance, warranty, and indemnity obligations.

Except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement, you will not: (a) rent, lease, reproduce, modify, adapt, create derivative works of, distribute, sell, sublicense, transfer, or provide access to the Products to a third party, (b) use the Products for the benefit of any third party, (c) incorporate any Products into a product or service you provide to a third party, (d) interfere with any license key mechanism in the Products or otherwise circumvent mechanisms in the Products intended to limit your use, (e) reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, translate, or otherwise seek to obtain or derive the source code, underlying ideas, algorithms, file formats or non-public APIs to any Products, except as permitted by law, (f) remove or obscure any proprietary or other notices contained in any Product, or (g) publicly disseminate information regarding the performance of the Products.

11.1. License to Developer Guides. From time to time, Railroad Software may publish SDK’s or API’s and associated guidelines (“Developer Guides”) to allow you to develop plugins, extensions, add-ons or other software products or services that interoperate or are integrated with the Products (“Add-Ons”). You may distribute your Add-Ons to third parties, but only for those Products permitted by Railroad Software, and only in accordance with the Developer Guides.

11.2. Conditions to Development of Add-Ons. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Railroad Software has no support, warranty, indemnification or other obligation or liability with respect to your Add-Ons or their combination, interaction or use with the Products. You shall indemnify, defend and hold us harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of or in connection with any claim brought against us by a third party relating to your Add-Ons (including but not limited to any representations or warranties you make about your Add-Ons) or your breach of this Section.

At our request, you agree to provide a signed certification that you are using all Products pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including the Authorized Scope of Use. You agree to allow us, or our authorized agent, to audit your use of the Products. We will provide you with at least 10 days advance notice prior to the audit, and the audit will be conducted during normal business hours. We will bear all out-of-pocket costs that we incur for the audit, unless the audit reveals that you have exceeded the Authorized Scope of Use. You will provide reasonable assistance, cooperation, and access to relevant information in the course of any audit at your own cost. If you exceed your Authorized Scope of Use, we may invoice you for any past or ongoing excessive use, and you will pay the invoice promptly after receipt. This remedy is without prejudice to any other remedies available to Railroad Software at law or equity or under this Agreement. To the extent we are obligated to do so, we may share audit results with certain of our third party licensors or assign the audit rights specified in this Section to such licensors.

Products are made available on a limited license or access basis, and no ownership right is conveyed to you, irrespective of the use of terms such as “purchase” or “sale”. Railroad Software and its licensors have and retain all right, title and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to Railroad Software Technology. From time to time, you may choose to submit Feedback, including sharing Your Modifications or in the course of receiving Support and Maintenance. Railroad Software may in connection with any of its products or services freely use, copy, disclose, license, distribute and exploit any Feedback in any manner without any obligation, royalty or restriction based on intellectual property rights or otherwise. No Feedback will be considered your Confidential Information, and nothing in this Agreement limits Railroad Software’s right to independently use, develop, evaluate, or market products, whether incorporating Feedback or otherwise.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each party agrees that all Confidential Information disclosed to such party (“Receiving Party”) by the disclosing party (“Disclosing Party“) constitutes the confidential property of the Disclosing Party, provided that it is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure. Any Railroad Software Technology and any performance information relating to the Products shall be deemed Confidential Information of Railroad Software without any marking or further designation. Except as expressly authorized herein, the Receiving Party will hold in confidence and not use or disclose any Confidential Information. The Receiving Party’s nondisclosure obligation shall not apply to information which the Receiving Party can document: (i) was rightfully in its possession or known to it prior to receipt of the Confidential Information; (ii) is or has become public knowledge through no fault of the Receiving Party; (iii) is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; or (iv) is independently developed by employees of the Receiving Party who had no access to such information. The Receiving Party may also disclose Confidential Information if so required pursuant to a regulation, law or court order (but only to the minimum extent required to comply with such regulation or order and with advance notice to the Disclosing Party). The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the Receiving Party the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section shall not operate as a separate warranty with respect to the operation of any Product.

This Agreement is in effect for the Term, unless sooner terminated as permitted in this Agreement. Either party may terminate this Agreement before the expiration of the Term if the other party materially breaches any of the terms of this Agreement and does not cure the breach within thirty (30) days after written notice of the breach. Either party may also terminate the Agreement before the expiration of the Term if the other party ceases to operate, declares bankruptcy, or becomes insolvent or otherwise unable to meet its financial obligations. You may terminate this Agreement at any time with notice to Railroad Software, but you will not be entitled to any credits or refunds as a result of convenience termination for prepaid but unused Software, Services subscriptions, or Support and Maintenance. Except where an exclusive remedy may be specified in this Agreement, the exercise by either party of any remedy, including termination, will be without prejudice to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement, by law, or otherwise. Once the Agreement terminates, you (and your Permitted Users) will no longer have any right to use or access any Products, or any information or materials that we make available to you under this Agreement, including Railroad Software Confidential Information. You are required to delete any of the foregoing from your systems as applicable (including any third party systems operated on your behalf) and provide written certification to us that you have done so at our request. Any term or termination clauses in the Order Form will supersede this provision. The following provisions will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement: Sections 6.7.3 (Indemnity for Your Data), 9.3 (Payment), 9.4 (Taxes), 10 (No-Charge Products) (disclaimers and use restrictions only), 11 (Restrictions), 12.2 (Conditions to Development of Add-Ons), 13 (License Certifications and Audits), 14 (Ownership and Feedback), 15 (Confidentiality), 16 (Term and Termination), 17.2 (Warranty Disclaimer), 18 (Limitation of Liability), 21 (Dispute Resolution), 22 (Export Restrictions), and 24 (General Provisions).

16.1. Due authority.

16.2. Warranty disclaimer. All products are provided “as is,” and railroad software and its suppliers expressly disclaim any and all warranties and representations of any kind, including any warranty of non-infringement, title, fitness for a particular purpose, functionality, or merchantability, whether express, implied, or statutory. You may have other statutory rights, but the duration of statutorily required warranties, if any, shall be limited to the shortest period permitted by law. Railroad software shall not be liable for delays, interruptions, service failures and other problems inherent in use of the internet and electronic communications or other systems outside the reasonable control of railroad software. To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither railroad software nor any of its third party suppliers makes any representation, warranty or guarantee as to the reliability, timeliness, quality, suitability, truth, availability, accuracy or completeness of any products or any content therein or generated therewith, or that: (a) the use of any products will be secure, timely, uninterrupted or error-free; (b) the products will operate in combination with any other hardware, software, system, or data; (c) the products (or any products, services, information, or other material purchased or obtained by you through the products) will meet your requirements or expectations); (d) any stored data will be accurate or reliable or that any stored data will not be lost or corrupted; (e) errors or defects will be corrected; or (f) the products (or any server(s) that make a service available) are free of viruses or other harmful components

Neither party (nor its suppliers) shall be liable for any loss of use, lost or inaccurate data, failure of security mechanisms, interruption of business, costs of delay or any indirect, special, incidental, reliance or consequential damages of any kind (including lost profits), regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, even if informed of the possibility of such damages in advance. Neither party’s aggregate liability to the other shall exceed the amount actually paid by you to us for products and support and maintenance in the 12 months immediately preceding the claim. Notwithstanding anything else in this agreement, our aggregate liability to you in respect of no-charge products shall be $100. This section 17 (limitation of liability) shall not apply to (1) amounts owed by you under any orders, (2) either party’s express indemnification obligations in this agreement, or (3) your breach of section 10 (restrictions). To the maximum extent permitted by law, no suppliers of any third party components included in the products will be liable to you for any damages whatsoever. The parties agree that the limitations specified in this section 17 (limitation of liability) will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in this agreement is found to have failed of its essential purpose..

We will defend you against any claim brought against you by a third party alleging that a product, when used as authorized under this agreement, infringes a united states patent or registered copyright (a “claim”), and we will indemnify you and hold you harmless against any damages and costs finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed to settlement by railroad software (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of a claim, provided that we have received from you: (a) prompt written notice of the claim (but in any event notice in sufficient time for us to respond without prejudice); (b) reasonable assistance in the defense and investigation of the claim, including providing us a copy of the claim and all relevant evidence in your possession, custody or control; and (c) the exclusive right to control and direct the investigation, defense, and settlement (if applicable) of the claim. If your use of a product is (or in our opinion is likely to be) enjoined, if required by settlement, or if we determine such actions are reasonably necessary to avoid material liability, we may, at our option and in our discretion: (I) procure a license for your continued use of the product in accordance with this agreement; (ii) substitute a substantially functionally similar product; or (iii) terminate your right to continue using the product and refund, in the case of software, the license fee paid by you as reduced to reflect a three year straight-line depreciation from the license purchase date, and in the case of a service, any prepaid amounts for the terminated portion of the subscription term. Railroad software’s indemnification obligations above do not apply: (1) if the total aggregate fees received by railroad software with respect to your license to software or subscription to services in the 12 month period immediately preceding the claim is less than $50,000; (2) if the product is modified by any party other than railroad software, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is caused by such modification; (3) if the product is used in combination with any non-railroad software product, software or equipment, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is caused by such combination; (4) to unauthorized use of products; (5) to any claim arising as a result of (y) your data (or circumstances covered by your indemnification obligations in section 6.7.3 (indemnity for your data)) or (z) any third-party deliverables or components contained with the products; (6) to any unsupported release of the software; or (7) if you settle or make any admissions with respect to a claim without railroad software’s prior written consent. This section 18 (ip indemnification by railroad software) states our sole liability and your exclusive remedy for any infringement of intellectual property rights in connection with any product or other items provided by railroad software under this agreement.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 22.1 (Dispute Resolution; Arbitration), nothing in this Agreement shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive relief with respect to a violation of intellectual property rights, confidentiality obligations or enforcement or recognition of any award or order in any appropriate jurisdiction.

21.4. Exclusion of UN Convention and UCITA. The terms of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the Sale of Goods do not apply to this Agreement. The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) shall not apply to this Agreement regardless of when or where adopted.

The Products are subject to export restrictions by the United States government and import restrictions by certain foreign governments, and you agree to comply with all applicable export and import laws and regulations in your use of the Products. You shall not (and shall not allow any third-party to) remove or export from the United States or allow the export or re-export of any part of the Products or any direct product thereof: (a) into (or to a national or resident of) any embargoed or terrorist-supporting country; (b) to anyone on the U.S. Commerce Department’s Table of Denial Order Forms or U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals; (c) to any country to which such export or re-export is restricted or prohibited, or as to which the United States government or any agency thereof requires an export license or other governmental approval at the time of export or re-export without first obtaining such license or approval; or (d) otherwise in violation of any export or import restrictions, laws or regulations of any United States or foreign agency or authority. You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any such prohibited country or on any such prohibited party list and (ii) that none of Your Data is controlled under the US International Traffic in Arms Regulations. The Products are restricted from being used for the design or development of nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons or missile technology without the prior permission of the United States government.

We may update or modify this Agreement from time to time, including any referenced policies and other documents. If a revision meaningfully reduces your rights, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you (by, for example, sending an email to the billing or technical contact you designate in the applicable Order Form, posting on our blog, through your Railroad Software account, or in the Product itself). If we modify the Agreement during your License Term or Subscription Term, the modified version will be effective upon your next renewal of a License Term, Support and Maintenance term, or Subscription Term, as applicable. In this case, if you object to the updated Agreement, as your exclusive remedy, you may choose not to renew, including cancelling any terms set to auto-renew. With respect to No-Charge Products, accepting the updated Agreement is required for you to continue using the No-Charge Products. You may be required to click through the updated Agreement to show your acceptance. If you do not agree to the updated Agreement after it becomes effective, you will no longer have a right to use No-Charge Products. For the avoidance of doubt, any Order Form is subject to the version of the Agreement in effect at the time of the Order Form.

Any notice under this Agreement must be given in writing. We may provide notice to you via email or through your account. Our notices to you will be deemed given upon the first business day after we send it. You may provide notice to us by mail to Railroad Software, Inc., 410 Peachtree Pkwy Building 400, Suite 4245, Cumming, GA 30041, Attn: Legal. Your notices to us will be deemed given upon our receipt. Neither party shall be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement (except for a failure to pay fees) if the delay or failure is due to unforeseen events which are beyond the reasonable control of such party, such as a strike, blockade, war, act of terrorism, riot, natural disaster, failure or diminishment of power or telecommunications or data networks or services, or refusal of a license by a government agency. You may not assign this Agreement without our prior written consent. We will not unreasonably withhold our consent if the assignee agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. We may assign our rights and obligations under this Agreement (in whole or in part) without your consent. The Products are commercial computer software. If you are an agency, department, or other entity of the United States Government, the use, duplication, reproduction, release, modification, disclosure, or transfer of the Products, or any related documentation of any kind, including technical data and manuals, is restricted by the terms of this Agreement in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 12.212 for civilian purposes and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement 227.7202 for military purposes. The Products were developed fully at private expense. All other use is prohibited. This Agreement is the entire agreement between you and Railroad Software relating to the Products and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals and representations with respect to the Products or any other subject matter covered by this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be void, invalid, unenforceable or illegal, the other provisions shall continue in full force and effect. This Agreement may not be modified or amended by you without our written agreement (which may be withheld in our complete discretion without any requirement to provide any explanation). As used herein, “including” (and its variants) means “including without limitation” (and its variants). No failure or delay by the injured party to this Agreement in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder at law or equity. The parties are independent contractors. This Agreement shall not be construed as constituting either party as a partner of the other or to create any other form of legal association that would give on party the express or implied right, power or authority to create any duty or obligation of the other party.
