Orchid does not warrant or represent that Your Use of the Software will be uninterrupted or error-free. If You report to Orchid in writing within the Software Warranty Period any nonconformity between the Documentation and the Program (a “Warranty Claim”), and if Orchid is able to replicate and verify that such nonconformity exists, Orchid shall make commercially reasonable efforts to correct such nonconformity and, if successful, shall supply You with such correction at no additional cost to You. If such efforts are unsuccessful and the nonconformity is material, Your sole remedy for a breach of the warranty described in this section 6a, shall be as follows:

(1) If You acquire an On-Premise License, then (1) except for Maintenance Software, You may terminate this Agreement, discontinue Use of and return all copies You have of the Software, and Orchid will ensure that You receive a refund of the license fee You paid and credit for any license fee You owe for the Software; and (2) for Maintenance Software, You may terminate Your Service Plan, discontinue Use of and return all copies You have of the Maintenance Software to Orchid, and Orchid will ensure that You receive a refund of or credit for the fee You paid for the purchase of the terminated Service Plan.

Your sole remedy under this subsection 6b is limited to Orchid's reperformance of the Reseller Support services giving rise to Your claim. Orchid will not provide Support directly to You, but will support Your Reseller as part of your Service Plan if (i) the Service Plan is in effect and (ii) Your Reseller is an authorized or certified Reseller, consultant, or installer of Orchid products

c. With respect to any media by which You may have received Your installation copy of the Program, Orchid warrants that the media is free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for the Software Warranty Period.

Orchid will have no responsibility under these limited warranties for any Software or media that has been modified, lost, stolen, or damaged by accident, abuse, or misapplication. No employee, agent, or representative of Orchid, nor any reseller (including Your Reseller) or any other third party, is authorized to make any warranty with respect to the Software, except those expressly stated in this Agreement, and You may not rely on any such unauthorized warranty. You acknowledge and agree that You have chosen Your Reseller, and that such Reseller is an independent party and not an agent of Orchid.


7. EXCLUSIONS OF AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

a. You acknowledge Your understanding that software is inherently complex and may not be free from errors and that You have been advised to verify the work produced by the Program. Neither Orchid nor its suppliers shall be liable for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from any defect in the Software or media, even if Orchid has been advised of the possibility of such damages. This means Orchid is not responsible or liable for damages or costs incurred as a result of loss of time, loss of data, loss of anticipated profits, lost opportunity cost, or loss of use of the Software, nor for damages or costs incurred in connection with obtaining substitute software, receiving support services under Your Service Plan, claims made against You by others, or similar costs.

You acknowledge and agree that this Agreement allocates risk between You and Orchid as authorized by applicable law and that the pricing of Orchid products reflects this allocation of risk and the exclusions and limitations of liability contained in this Agreement. If any remedy hereunder is  determined to have failed of its essential purpose, all limitations of liability and exclusion of damages set forth in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

b. You acknowledge that You are responsible for engaging a qualified party to provide implementation services for You on terms You negotiate. You also acknowledge that You are responsible for independently investigating the skills and qualifications of such party to ensure that they provide You with the level of skill and service Your business requires. You agree that Orchid shall have no liability whatsoever for any failure associated with such implementation services, even if the party You engage is an authorized or certified Reseller, consultant, or installer of Orchid products.


8. JURISDICTIONAL RIGHTS

This Agreement gives You specific legal rights, and You may also have other rights, which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so some or all of those sections of this Agreement may not apply to You.


9. TERM AND TERMINATION

This Agreement is effective from the date You accept it, as set forth in Section 1a(2), and continues until terminated in accordance with this Section.

a. If You acquire an On-Premise License, You may terminate this Agreement at any time, at which point Your license hereunder will terminate.

THIS PROVISION

11. INDEMNIFICATION

a. If You receive notice of any claim that Your use of any part of the Software infringes any third party's intellectual property right in a patent, copyright, or trade secret (an “Indemnity Claim”), Orchid shall defend and shall indemnify and hold You harmless by paying any resulting costs and damages finally awarded by a court with respect to any such Indemnity Claim provided that You:

(1) Notify Orchid in writing promptly upon becoming aware of the Indemnity Claim,

(2) At Orchid's request and expense, give Orchid such information and assistance as is reasonable under the circumstances, and

(3) Give Orchid the right to settle the Indemnity Claim in Orchid's sole discretion and at Orchid's expense.

b. This indemnification does not extend to any Indemnity Claim arising from the combination of the Software with other elements not under Orchid's sole control, or arising from any part of the Software that You or a third-party modify, or that incorporates specifications, designs or formulas that You provide. If You are prevented from Using the Software because of an actual or claimed infringement, then at Orchid's option, Orchid shall promptly either obtain for You the right to continue Using the affected part of the Software, replace or modify the affected part of the Software so that it becomes non-infringing, or if none of the foregoing alternatives are possible after Orchid exercises commercially reasonable efforts, You may terminate this Agreement and Your Service Plan, and Orchid shall ensure that:

(1) If You acquire an On-Premise License, You receive a refund or credit for (i) the Service Plan fee You incurred to purchase or renew Your most recent Service Plan, and (ii) a pro rata portion of the On-Premise License fees You incurred for the purchase of Your initial On-Premise License and all upgrades, which pro rata portion will be determined on the basis of the remaining period of a useful life of (5) five years, where the five-year useful life begins on the date You purchase Your initial license.

(2) If You acquired an On-Premise Subscription License, You receive a refund of or credit for any prepaid but unused portion of the On-Premise Subscription License fees paid by You for the Software.

c. THIS SECTION 11 SETS OUT ORCHID'S ENTIRE FINANCIAL LIABILITY FOR ANY INDEMNITY CLAIM.


12. AUDIT RIGHTS

With or without prior notice, Orchid may audit Your Use of the Software to ensure that You comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If an audit reveals that You have underpaid fees or owe fees to Orchid, Orchid will invoice You for the underpayment or amount due based on the
Orchid price list in effect at the time the audit is completed.


13. SERVICE PLAN

Service Plan information for Orchid products is posted by Orchid from links appearing at http://www.orchid.systems/eula-serviceplan (or a successor website for the Service Plan information) and related web pages that describe the Service Plan features for the Program You license or the subscription You purchase.


14. FEE INCREASES

Orchid may increase its license and other fees at any time without notice so fees due for new or additional Software license or subscription purchases may be more than a previous purchase.

To the extent any of the Transaction Data is personal information within the meaning of applicable law, You hereby: (a) consent to Orchid's collection, use and disclosure of such Transaction Data for these purposes; and (b) represent and warrant that You have obtained the consent of any individual to whom such Transaction Data relates to Orchid's collection, use and disclosure of such Transaction Data for these purposes, or that the consent of any such individuals is not required to be obtained under applicable law.


16. AUTOMATIC UPDATES

The Software may contain automatic update technology, a feature used to provide Maintenance Software such as bug fixes, patches, enhanced functions, missing plug-ins, and new versions. This feature cannot be disabled. This feature will: (i) connect to Orchid or service provider computer systems over the Internet, (ii) use Internet protocols to recover standard computer information in order to determine whether Maintenance Software is required, and (iii) automatically download and install, or prompt You to download and/or install, current Maintenance Software. By installing the Software initially, You consent to the transmission of standard computer information and the automatic downloading and installation of Maintenance Software.


17. ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND SEVERABILITY

This Agreement represents the complete and exclusive understanding between You and Orchid regarding the Program and Your Service Plan and supersedes any prior purchase order, confirmation, advertising, representation, or other communication. This Agreement may not be modified except by a written agreement signed by You and an authorized Orchid representative. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be void, invalid, or unenforceable, it shall be severed from and shall not affect the remainder of this Agreement, which shall remain valid and enforceable. Any such severed provision shall be replaced with a similar provision which conforms to applicable law and embodies as closely as possible the original intent of the parties.
