LICENSE. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the payment of all applicable fees as described on the CloudPlugs Sales Quote, the CloudPlugs Invoice and at http://cloudplugs.com/pricing, CloudPlugs grants to Customer a nontransferable, nonexclusive, revocable, worldwide license (without the right to sublicense) to permit those individuals authorized by Customer (“Users”) to install, use, execute and display the Licensed Software, in executable object code format only, solely for Customer’s own personal or internal business operations during the Service Period. The “Service Period” shall begin on the date of Customer’s initial installation of a copy of the Licensed Software and shall last for the applicable period listed in the applicable transaction documentation from CloudPlugs or from the authorized distributor or reseller from which Customer obtained the Licensed Software, unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Agreement. The Licensed Software may automatically deactivate and become non-operational at the end of the Service Period, and Customer will not be entitled to receive any feature or content updates to the Licensed Software unless the Service Period is renewed. Subscriptions for renewals of the Service Period will be available in accordance with CloudPlugs’ Technical Support Policy posted at http://cloudplugs.com/terms-of-service. This Agreement governs any releases, revisions, updates or enhancements to the Licensed Software that CloudPlugs may make available to Customer.

SUPPORT. Upon payment of the applicable fees, during the Service Period, CloudPlugs will provide maintenance and support services to Customer pursuant to its then-current Technical Support Policy, a current version of which is available at http://cloudplugs.com/terms-of-service. Support consists of Software Updates, Product Support and/or other annual technical support services you may have ordered. If ordered, annual technical support (including first year and all subsequent years) is provided under CloudPlugs’ technical support policies in effect at the time the services are provided. The Service and Technical Support Policies are subject to change at CloudPlugs’ discretion; however, CloudPlugs will not materially reduce the level of services provided for supported programs during the period for which fees for technical support have been paid. You should review the policies prior to entering into the ordering document for the applicable services. Technical support is effective upon the effective date of the ordering document. Software Updates or Product Support acquired with your order for licenses may be renewed annually and, if you renew the Software Updates or Product Support for the same number of licenses for the same programs, for the first and second renewal years the fee for Software Updates or Product Support will not increase by more than 4% over the prior year’s fees. If your license order is fulfilled by a member of CloudPlugs’ partner program, the fee for Software Updates or Product Support for the first renewal year will be the price quoted to you by your partner; the fee for Software Updates or Product Support for the second renewal year will not increase by more than 4% over the prior year’s fees. If you decide to purchase technical support for any license within a license set, you are required to purchase technical support at the same level for all licenses within that license set. You may desupport a subset of licenses in a license set only if you agree to terminate that subset of licenses. The technical support fees for the remaining licenses will be priced in accordance with the technical support policies in effect at the time of termination. CloudPlugs’ license set definition is available in the current technical support policies. If you decide not to purchase technical support, you may not update any unsupported on-premise program licenses with new versions of the program. CloudPlugs reserves the right to desupport its programs or particular versions of its programs. You will be notified in advance when CloudPlugs determines that a program is to be desupported. Such desupport notices, contain desupport dates and information about migration paths for certain features. The desupport notices are subject to change; CloudPlugs will provide updated desupport notices on CloudPlugs’ then current customer support web site as necessary.
