1. LICENSE GRANTS; RESTRICTIONS.
1.1 Datameer Product License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and payment of applicable fees, Datameer grants Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, internal-use license, during the subscription term stated in the Order Confirmation (“Subscription Term”) (or if obtained for evaluation only, during the Evaluation Period), to install, access and use the Datameer-provided software described in such Order Confirmation (each a “Datameer Product”) in accordance with the associated end user documentation (the “Documentation”), solely: (a) to store and analyze Customer’s business data and/or third party data; (b) to create plug-in modules that run with the Datameer Product; and (c) for the quantity of licenses and/or other metrics purchased by Customer, as specified in the applicable Order Confirmation (or if obtained for evaluation only, for the quantity (if any) set forth in the evaluation confirmation). Customer agrees to use the Datameer Product solely for its own internal business purposes and shall not provide them to any third party. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Datameer Product is deemed irrevocably accepted on delivery. Customer may purchase additional quantities of licenses at any time during the Subscription Term through a supplemental Order Confirmation.
1.2 Third-Party Components. Certain third party components provided in or with the Datameer Product (“Third Party Components”) are subject to various “open source” or “free software” licenses. Customer may view the list of relevant licenses and/or notices for the Third Party Components on Datameer’s website or in the Datameer Product documentation, as such list may be supplemented from time to time for any updates or upgrades to the Datameer Products that Datameer provides as maintenance. Customer’s use of the Third Party Components is subject to and governed by the Third Party Component license that accompanies the Third Party Component and is not subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, except that this Section 1.2 (Third-Party Components), Section 9.2 (Warranty Disclaimer), and Section 11 (Limitation of Liability) of this Agreement also govern Customer’s use of the Third Party Components. Nothing in this document limits Customer’s rights under, or grants Customer rights that supersede, the terms and conditions of any applicable license for the Third Party Component. Customer agrees to comply with the terms and conditions contained in all such Third Party Component licenses.
1.3 License Restrictions. Customer acknowledges that the Datameer Product contains valuable trade secrets and other intellectual property of Datameer, and accordingly Customer shall not, directly or indirectly, or permit any Customer user to (i) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to discover the source code or underlying ideas or algorithms of the Datameer Product; (ii) modify, translate, or create derivative works based on the Datameer Product; (iii) rent, lease, distribute, sell, resell, assign, sublicense, or otherwise transfer its rights to use the Datameer Product; (iv) use the Datameer Product for timesharing or service bureau purposes or otherwise for the benefit of a third party; (v) remove any proprietary notices from the Datameer Product or any other Datameer materials furnished or made available hereunder; or (vi) use the Datameer Product for any other purpose other than as licensed under this Agreement, including using the Datameer Product in any way to create products or services similar to or competitive with the Datameer Product, benchmarking the performance of the Datameer Product, or analyzing the Datameer Product for any competitive or review purposes. Customer may make a reasonable number of copies of the Datameer Product required for its back-up and archival purposes.
1.4 Term/Subscription Licenses. For any Datameer Product licensed on a term or subscription basis, the initial term of the license begins on Delivery and continues for twelve (12) months, or the term specified in the applicable Order Confirmation, if different. “Delivery” occurs when the Datameer Product is first made available to Customer. Thereafter, and unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Order Confirmation, the license for the applicable Datameer Product will automatically continue at Datameer’s then-current fees for successive one (1) year renewal terms until the earlier of the date: (a) Customer gives Datameer a notice of termination of such license at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current term or (b) a party terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7 (Termination) below.
1.5 Free Trial. If Customer registers on Datameer’s website for a free trial, Datameer will make one or more Datameer products and/or services available to Customer on a trial basis free of charge until the end of the free trial period for which Customer registered to use the applicable Datameer Product(s) (“Evaluation Period”). To the extent that the Datameer Product is available to Customer during the Evaluation Period as a cloud-based software-as-a-service hosted solution (“SaaS Service”), Datameer will make the SaaS Service available to Customer during the Evaluation Period to allow its users to access and use the SaaS Service in accordance with the Documentation, solely for Customer’s evaluation purposes. In such case, Customer grants Datameer a worldwide, limited term license to host, copy, transmit and display any electronic data and information submitted by or for Customer (“Trial Customer Data”) to the SaaS Service or collected and processed by or for Customer while using or accessing the SaaS Service. ANY TRIAL CUSTOMER DATA ENTERED INTO THE DATAMEER PRODUCT, AND ANY CONFIGURATIONS MADE TO THE DATAMEER PRODUCT BY OR FOR CUSTOMER, DURING THE EVALUATION PERIOD WILL BE PERMANENTLY LOST UNLESS CUSTOMER EXPORTS SUCH DATA BEFORE THE END OF THE EVALUATION PERIOD. DURING THE EVALUATION PERIOD, THE DATAMEER PRODUCT(S), INCLUDING THE SAAS SERVICE ARE PROVIDED “AS-IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND AND MAY HAVE LIMITED FEATURES, FUNCTIONS, CAPACITY, OR OTHER LIMITATIONS AS DETERMINED BY DATAMEER. DURING SUCH EVALUATION PERIOD, SECTIONS 2, 9.1, AND 10.2 OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT APPLY.
1.6 Beta. From time to time, Datameer may make a product, service, or functionality available to try at Customer’s sole discretion at no additional charge, which is designated as beta, pilot, limited release, non-production, early access, evaluation, or by a similar description (“Beta Services”). Beta Services are intended for evaluation purposes and not for production use, are not supported, and may be subject to additional terms that will be presented to the Customer before access. Beta Services are not considered “Datameer Product” under this Agreement; however, all restrictions, reservations of rights, and Customer’s obligations concerning the Datameer Product, and use of any Third-Party Applications will apply equally to Customer’s use of Beta Services. Datameer may discontinue Beta Services at any time in its sole discretion and may never make them generally available. Datameer will have no liability for any harm or damage arising out of or in connection with Beta Services. BETA SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND. SECTIONS 2, 9.1 AND 10.2 OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT APPLY TO BETA SERVICES.
1.7 Non-Datameer Third Party Applications. The Datameer Product may contain features or functions that enable the integration or interoperation of the Datameer Product with third party applications, services or products, which are licensed by their respective providers to Customer (“Third Party Application”). To use such features or functions, however, Customer may be required to obtain access or license separately to such Third Party Application(s) from the respective providers. By requesting or allowing the Datameer Product to enable access or connect to such Third Party Application, Customer acknowledges that any acquisition by Customer of such Third Party Application and any exchange of data between Customer and such Third Party Application, is solely between Customer and the applicable Third Party Application provider. If Customer installs or enables Third Party Application for use with any Datameer Product, Customer acknowledges that Datameer is not responsible for any disclosure, modification or deletion of Customer Data resulting from access by such Third Party Application. If the provider of the Third Party Application ceases to make the Third Party Application available for interoperation or integration with the corresponding Datameer Product features on reasonable terms, Datameer may cease providing those features without entitling Customer to any refund, credit, or other compensation. Datameer does not warrant or support Third Party Applications or other non-Datameer products or services.
2. DATAMEER PRODUCT MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT.
If Customer has purchased maintenance and support services, Datameer will provide the level of support for the period specified in the Order Confirmation in accordance with Datameer’s then-current support and maintenance policy available at: https://www.datameer.com/maintenanceandsupport.
3. SECURITY & PRIVACY.
3.1 Security & Data Privacy. As Customer will install and use the Datameer Product on Customer’s premises and network environment, Customer acknowledges that the responsibility for security and privacy of Customer Data and Customer’s data storage repositories rests solely with Customer and not Datameer. Datameer does not have any access to any Customer Data that is used through the Datameer Product, and therefore, Datameer is not considered a processor of such data and does not have any obligations with respect to that data under Applicable Data Protection Laws (defined below). Datameer relies on Customer to exercise care and adhere to Customer’s own policies when granting Datameer’s support team access to such data for the provision of support services. For business to business data collected during the sales, registration, marketing and installation process and any Trial Customer Data that is stored, processed, and/or analyzed through the use of the SaaS Service during the Evaluation Period, Datameer will process and store such information in compliance with any applicable privacy and data protection laws, regulations, rules, directives and governmental requirements currently in effect relating to the privacy, confidentiality or security of such information, including, without limitation, the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council, and any implementation thereof in national law (“GDPR”) (collectively “Applicable Data Protection Law”).
3.2 Compliance with Privacy Laws. Each party represents, warrants, and agrees that it is in compliance with and will comply with all Applicable Data Protection Laws. To the extent that any personal data from the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the United Kingdom, and Switzerland is received by Datameer, the Standard Contractual Clauses will apply, as applicable. For the purposes of the Standard Contractual Clauses, Customer and its applicable affiliates are each the data exporter, and Customer’s acceptance of this Agreement, and/or execution of an Order Confirmation will be treated as its execution of the Standard Contractual Clauses and Appendices.
4. OWNERSHIP.
4.1 Datameer Ownership. All right, title and interest in the Datameer Product, Beta Services, and any other Datameer materials or services furnished or made available hereunder including without limitation any Datameer plug-ins, and all modifications and enhancements thereof, including all rights under copyright and patent and other intellectual property rights, belong to and are retained solely by Datameer or Datameer’ licensors and providers, as applicable.
4.2 Customer Ownership. The Customer plug-ins referenced in Section 1.1 and any electronic data and information stored, processed and/or analyzed through the use of the Datameer Product (“Customer Data”) shall be the sole and exclusive property of Customer.

Customer grants Datameer a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use and incorporate into the Datameer Product any suggestion, enhancement request, recommendation, correction or other feedback provided by Customer or its users relating to the operation of the Datameer Product.
4.4 Service Data. Datameer may or may engage third party analytics providers to collect, analyze, and use the data and data elements (excluding Customer Data) collected by the Datameer Product or Datameer’s computer systems regarding configuration, environmental, usage and performance of the Service (“Service Data”) that may be used to generate log, statistics and reports regarding performance, availability, integrity and security of the Datameer Product. Datameer will be free (during and after the Subscription Term) to (i) use the Service Data to improve and enhance the Datameer Product and for other development, diagnostic and corrective purposes in connection with the Datameer Product and other Datameer offerings, and (ii) disclose such Product Data solely in aggregate or other de-identified forms in connection with its internal business operation purposes.

6.2 Invoicing and Payment. All fees will be due in accordance with the applicable Order Confirmation or, if not specified therein, within thirty (30) days from the date of invoice.

If Customer requires that a purchase order (“PO”) to be issued before making payment under an applicable Order Confirmation, Customer must provide to Datameer such valid PO conforming to the applicable Order Confirmation in time for Customer to meet its payment obligations. The terms and conditions of any PO (or any other unilateral Customer document not agreed in writing by authorized representatives of both parties) will have no effect on the rights or obligations of the parties, regardless of any failure to object to such terms and conditions. Customer agrees to provide Datameer accurate billing and other contact information for each Order Confirmation at all times during the Subscription Term, including the name of Customer’s applicable legal entity and the street address, e-mail address, name and telephone number of an authorized billing contact. Customer will update this information within thirty (30) days after any changes, via email to Datameer’s Finance Team at dmfinance@datameer.com
6.3 Taxes. Datameer’s fees do not include taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities (“Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases under this Agreement other than taxes based on income, property, or employees of Datameer. If Datameer has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible, the appropriate amount will be invoiced to and paid by Customer unless Customer provides Datameer a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.
7. TERMINATION.
7.1 Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate this Agreement or any Order Confirmation (s) upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other party in the event of a material breach of this Agreement (or the Order Confirmation(s)) if such breach is not cured by the other party within such thirty (30) day period; provided, however, that any unauthorized disclosure of Datameer Confidential Information or any willful unauthorized use, copying, disclosure, distribution or sublicensing of the Datameer Product or documentation or any related methods, algorithms, techniques, or processes will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement that cannot be cured and termination shall be immediate.
