Centerity administers the generation and distribution of License Keys. The Product may contain embedded time clocks or similar security devices that may disable your ability to use the Product after the expiration of the License Term (e.g., expiration of the trial license period if you obtain the license for the Product on a trial evaluation basis) or beyond the License Capacity. In the event of termination of this Agreement prior to expiration of the applicable License Term, Centerity reserves the right to electronically disable your ability to use the Product after notifying you of Centerity intention to do so.
6. CHARGES, PAYMENT AND TAXES.
- If You purchased the Product directly from Centerity, You will pay each License fee and/or Support fee upon receipt of invoice. You will pay, or reimburse, Centerity or when required by law the appropriate governmental agency for taxes of any kind, including sales, use, VAT, excise, customs duties, withholding, property, and other similar taxes (other than taxes based on Centerity’s net income) imposed in connection with the License and/or the Support fees which are exclusive of these taxes.
- Delivery of the Product is made electronically. Upon request from Centerity, You shall provide Centerity with documentation supporting that the designated Product was received electronically. The unpaid balance of each late payment bears interest at a rate equal to the lesser of 1% per month or the maximum amount permitted by law.

Unless otherwise stated, such third party and open source software is identified in Centerity’s User Documentation including copies of the Third Party License Agreement and the Third Party Notices, and the use of such third party software is subject to such Third Party License Agreement and not this Agreement.
8. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND CONFIDENTIALITY

You shall take all reasonable steps, both during and after the term of this Agreement, to ensure that no unauthorized parties or persons will have access to the Product and that no unauthorized copy, distribution or disclosure, whether in whole or in part, is made in any form.
9. PRODUCT WARRANTY.
- During your License Term if under a subscription license (the “Software Warranty Period”), Centerity warrants that the Software, when used as permitted under this Agreement and in accordance with the instructions in the User Documentation, will operate substantially as described in the User Documentation and, that the media (for example, CD-ROM) on which the Product is delivered will be free from material defects in materials and workmanship. If the License Term is specified as being perpetual, the Software Warranty Period shall commence on at the start of the License Term and terminate ninety (90) days later.
- Centerity will, at its own expense and as its sole obligation and your exclusive remedy for any breach of this warranty, (i) in case of a media defect, replace the defective media, and (ii) in case of a Product error, use commercially reasonable efforts to correct any material reproducible error in the Product reported to the party from whom you acquired it (i.e., Centerity or its Reseller) by You, in writing during the Software Warranty Period or, if Centerity determines that it is unable to correct such error, You may contact the party from whom you acquired the Product for instructions on how to obtain the refund. Any such error correction provided to you will not extend the original Software Warranty Period.
- This warranty will not apply to any problems caused by hardware, computers, or software other than the Product, errors not attributable to the Products, or misuse of the Product, use of the Product other than as provided by the applicable License, modification of the Product, or claims made either outside the Software Warranty
Period or not in compliance with the notice and access requirements set forth below. No warranty of any kind under a Trial License.
- You rights and Centerity’s obligations in this Section are conditioned upon You providing Centerity during the Software Warranty Period (a) full cooperation and access to the Product in resolving any claim; and (b) written notice addressed to the Centerity that includes notice of the claim and a complete description of the alleged defects sufficient to permit their reproduction in Centerity’s development or support environment.
- DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PRODUCT IS PROVIDED WITH NO OTHER WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, AND CENTERITY, ITS AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. CENTERITY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE OPERATION OF THE PRODUCT WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE, OR THAT ALL DEFECTS CAN BE CORRECTED.
THE ABOVE WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS DO NOT APPLY TO THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE. NO SUCH THIRD PARTY ASSUMES ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCT OR UNDERTAKES TO PROVIDE ANY SUPPORT OR INFORMATION REGARDING THOSE ELEMENTS OF THE PRODUCT.
10. PRODUCT SUPPORT.
- You may acquire Centerity support services (“Support”) on an Order Form for the total Licensed Capacity of a Product. The fees paid under Subscription Licenses include the Support fee. Perpetual License requires separate payment and purchase of annual Support.
- Once Support is acquired for a Product, You are automatically enrolled in Support on an annual basis for all Licensed Capacity of that Product, unless either party terminates Support on all Licensed Capacity of a Product upon at least 30 days written notice prior to the next Support anniversary date. The annual fee for Support will be agreed upon at the time of each Order Form. A further description of Support is located at Centerity Support Policy, and is incorporated herein by this reference. Centerity may change its Support terms to be effective upon Your support anniversary date. Centerity reserves the right to discontinue Support for a Product where Centerity generally discontinues such services to all licensees of that Product. If You terminate Support and then re-enrolls in Support, Centerity may charge You a reinstatement fee.
11. INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS.
- If a third party asserts a claim against You asserting that Your use of a Product in accordance with this Agreement violates that third-party’s patent, trade secret or copyright rights (“Infringement Claim”), then Centerity will, at its own expense: (a) defend or settle the Infringement Claim; and (b) indemnify You for any damages finally awarded against You based on infringement by the Product.
- Centerity’s obligations under this Section will not apply if: (a) Centerity does not receive prompt, detailed written notice of the Infringement Claim You, (b) Centerity is not able to retain sole control of the defense of the Infringement Claim and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise, (c) Centerity does not receive all reasonable assistance, or (d) the Infringement Claim is based on (i) the use of Product in combination with products not approved by Centerity in the User Documentation,
(ii) Your failure to use any updates to such Product within a reasonable time after such updates are made available by Centerity, or (iii) You failure to use the Product as permitted by the Order Form and in accordance with the User Documentation. Centerity will not bind You to a monetary obligation in a settlement or compromise, or make an admission on Your behalf, without obtaining Your prior consent.
- If Centerity determines in Centerity’s reasonable discretion that use of the Product should be stopped because of an Infringement Claim or potential Infringement Claim, if a court of competent jurisdiction enjoins You from using a Product as a result of an Infringement Claim and Centerity is unable to have such injunction stayed or overturned, or if Centerity settles an Infringement Claim on terms that would require You to stop using the Product, then Centerity will, at its expense and election: (a) modify or replace the Product, (b) procure the right to continue using the Product, or (c) if in Centerity’s reasonable judgment, neither (a) or (b) is commercially reasonable, terminate Your License to the Product and (i) for any perpetual licenses, issue a refund based upon the applicable license fees paid, prorated over 48 months from the date of the Order Form under which the Products were initially licensed; and (ii) for any non-perpetual licenses, release You from Your obligation to make future payments for the Product or issue a pro rata refund for any fees paid in advance. THIS SECTION CONTAINS YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AND CENTERITY’S SOLE LIABILITY FOR INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS.

IN NO EVENT SHALL CENTERITY’S LIABILITY FOR ACTUAL DIRECT DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE USE OF A PRODUCT EXCEED THE LICENSE FEE ACTUALLY PAID TO CENTERITY FOR THE PRODUCT, IN THE 12 MONTHS PERIOD PRECEDING ANY CLAIM. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR BODILY INJURY (INCLUDING DEATH) TO THE EXTENT THAT APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS SHALL BE ENFORCEABLE TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS PARAGRAPH IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT, ABSENT WHICH THE ECONOMIC TERMS AND OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT WOULD BE SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT.
- Except for actions related to the protection of the proprietary rights of Centerity and its suppliers, neither you nor Centerity will bring a legal action under this Agreement more than two years after the cause of action arose unless otherwise provided by applicable law without the possibility of contractual waiver or limitation. Neither you nor Centerity is responsible for failure to fulfill any obligations due to causes beyond its reasonable control.
