Some Offerings may cause Your Electronic Devices to automatically connect to the internet (intermittently or on a regular basis) – for example, to validate Your subscription, provide You with access to services (including third-party services) or download and install Updates or Upgrades, all without further notice to You. You agree to such connection and to validation of Your subscription and to the automatic downloading and installation of Updates and Upgrades. For some Offerings,).
Offerings do not include access to the internet or any other network or to any communications services or any hardware, software, storage, security or other resources necessary for accessing or using the Offerings. You and Your other suppliers and service providers are responsible for acquiring all such items and for their reliability, security and performance.

You (a) are responsible for all of Your Content and for ensuring that Your Content and its use with any Offering comply with all applicable laws and regulations and these Terms, and (b) warrant that Your Content will not infringe or misappropriate any intellectual property or proprietary rights of any person or violate any applicable laws or regulations. Konsolute recommends that You secure and protect Your Content by using appropriate encryption and security technology. You acknowledge that online services may suffer occasional disruptions or outages, and You may not be able to retrieve Your Content as a result. Konsolute recommends that You regularly backup Your Content to Your own storage. You are at all times responsible for storing and maintaining any such backup copies of Your Content.

Subscriptions to Trial Versions do not include Subscription Benefits, and Konsolute reserves the right, without any further notice, to end any Trial Versions at any time.
Feedback
You have no obligation to provide Konsolute with ideas for improvement, suggestions or other feedback (collectively, “Feedback”), whether in connection with a Trial Version or otherwise, unless otherwise specified in the Special Terms for an Offering.

Limitations On Use
Offerings are tools
Due to the large variety of potential applications for the Offerings, they have not been designed or tested for any specific uses, and it is Your responsibility to determine whether the use of an Offering is appropriate for the purposes You pursue. Konsolute will not be responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for the results obtained through use of the Offerings, including any Output. You are responsible for Your (including Your Authorized Users’) use of the Offerings and any results produced by the Offerings, including any Output. Your responsibilities include, without limitation, the determination of appropriate uses for the Offerings and the selection of the Offerings and other computer programs and materials to help achieve Your intended results. You are also responsible for establishing the adequacy of independent procedures for testing the reliability, accuracy, completeness, compliance with applicable legal requirements, and other characteristics of any Output, including, without limitation, all items designed with the assistance of the Offerings.

Confidentiality
You or Konsolute (as the “Disclosing Party”) may disclose or make available Confidential Information to the other party (as the “Receiving Party”) in connection with these Terms. The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care as to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but in no event less than reasonable care) and will (i) use the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party only in connection with Offerings, and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, limit access to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its employees, consultants, contractors, service providers, professional advisors and other individuals who need such access for purposes related to Offerings and who are subject to confidentiality obligations with the Receiving Party no less stringent than those in these Terms. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if it is compelled by law to do so. The Receiving Party will give the Disclosing Party prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and take reasonable steps to limit such disclosure. Konsolute may also disclose Your Confidential Information to comply with any governmental or regulatory body request (including subpoenas or court orders), as part of a legal proceeding involving Konsolute, or at Your request. If disclosure is made at Your request, You may be responsible for the costs of compiling and providing access to Your Confidential Information.
Konsolute Proprietary Rights
You acknowledge and agree that Konsolute and its licensors and suppliers will have all ownership of and all rights with respect to (i) the Offerings, Documentation, APIs, Metrics and other information or material provided or made available by Konsolute to You and (ii) any copies of the foregoing, or any materials or other information based on, derived from or otherwise using any of the foregoing (including all rights under trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, patents and all other intellectual property or proprietary rights relating to any of the foregoing). The structure and organization, the underlying algorithms and other internals, the protocols, data structures and other externals, and the source code of the Offerings and the APIs constitute proprietary and confidential information of Konsolute, and You will not disclose such information to third parties, or use such information for any purpose other than as required for ordinary-course access to and use of the Offerings as set forth in these Terms, without Konsolute’s prior written consent. Also, You agree not to access or attempt to access the Offerings by any means other than the interface Konsolute provides or authorizes. In addition, You agree not to engage in any decompiling, disassembling or other reverse engineering or otherwise attempting to discover, learn or study the structure or organization, underlying algorithms or other internals, the protocols, data structures or other externals, or the source code of the Offerings or APIs, except as expressly permitted under applicable law notwithstanding a contractual prohibition to the contrary. Konsolute may make available or provide access to other confidential and proprietary information (either marked as such or understood to be such under the circumstances). If You receive such information, You will not disclose it to any third party, or use such information for any purpose other than as required for access to and use of the Offerings as set forth in these Terms, without Konsolute’s prior written consent.
You have only the rights expressly granted to You under these Terms (including any Additional Agreement or Special Terms). All rights not expressly granted are reserved by Konsolute and its licensors and suppliers; Konsolute and its licensors and suppliers expressly disclaim (and You agree not to assert) any other rights.
You agree not to take any action, or to authorize or encourage any third party to take any action (or cooperate with any third party in taking any action), inconsistent with the foregoing.
Warranty, Disclaimers, Limitations On Liability
Limited warranty
Konsolute warrants that, for any paid subscription, as of the date on which the subscribed-for Offering is made available to You and for 15 days thereafter or, if the subscription period is shorter, such shorter period (“Warranty Period”), the Offering will provide the general features and functions described in the end-user Documentation for the Offering. Konsolute’s entire obligation and liability, and Your sole and exclusive remedy, for Konsolute’s breach of this warranty will be for Konsolute, at its option, (i) to attempt reasonably to remedy the breach or (ii) to refund amounts received for the affected subscription and terminate such subscription. You must bring any warranty claim for any Offering within its applicable Warranty Period.
Disclaimers
EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY SET FORTH IN THE “Limited Warranty” SECTION (Limited warranty) ABOVE, AND ANY EXPRESS WARRANTIES SET FORTH AS SUCH IN ANY ADDITIONAL AGREEMENT OR SPECIAL TERMS, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, (i) THE OFFERINGS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” AND (ii) KONSOLUTE AND ITS LICENSORS AND SUPPLIERS MAKE, AND YOU RECEIVE, NO WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, CONDITIONS OR COMMITMENTS OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF THE OFFERINGS OR ANY OUTPUT, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON INFRINGEMENT OR OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS IMPLIED BY STATUTE, OR ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS BASED ON A COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE OF TRADE OR INDUSTRY STANDARDS. Any statements about the Offerings (including any statements about their functionality or performance) or Output, or other communications with You, that are not contained in these Terms or any Additional Agreement or Special Terms are for information purposes only and do not constitute a warranty, representation, condition or other commitment. Without limitation as to the generality of the foregoing, Konsolute does not warrant or otherwise commit that (a) the Offerings or Output, or the access thereto or use thereof, will be available, uninterrupted, error-free, secure, accurate, reliable or complete, (b) the Offerings will meet any particular performance or availability criteria, (c) Your Content will not be lost or damaged or (d) errors will be corrected or any particular support requests will be resolved to meet Your needs. Any reference to “unlimited” access, use, storage or otherwise with respect to an Offering is subject to the technical limitations of the Offering.
Limitations on liability
Neither Konsolute nor any of its licensors or suppliers will have any liability (directly or indirectly) for any incidental, special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages; loss of profits or revenue; business interruption or loss of use; cost of procurement of substitute goods or services or other cover; failure of or defects in the Output; loss, corruption or deletion of (or failure to delete) data or Your Content; or damages resulting from Force Majeure (in each case, regardless of the legal theory for seeking such damages or other liability). In addition, the aggregate liability of Konsolute and its licensors and suppliers with respect to any Offering or Output thereof will in no event exceed the amount paid or payable by You for the Offering in the one-year period before the events or circumstances giving rise to the liability first occurred.
The limitations on liability in these Terms will apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law to any damages or other liability, however caused and regardless of the theory of liability, whether based on contract, tort (including negligence and strict liability), indemnification, recourse, statute or otherwise, even if Konsolute has been advised of the possibility of the liability and regardless of whether the limited remedies in these Terms fail of their essential purpose.
You acknowledge that the amounts payable for the Offerings are based in part on and reflective of the disclaimers of warranties and limitations on liability in these Terms and that such disclaimers and limitations are an essential element of the bargain between You and Konsolute.
Nothing in these Terms purports to restrict or exclude Konsolute’s liability for (i) death or personal injury caused by Konsolute’s wilful intent or gross negligence or (ii) Your damages or losses caused by Konsolute’s fraud.
Relationship to applicable law
Konsolute does not seek to limit Your warranties, Your other rights and remedies, or the liability of Konsolute for damages or losses to the extent the limits are not permitted by applicable law (such as statutory warranties, conditions, remedies or liabilities that cannot be excluded by applicable law). Nothing in these Terms restricts the effect of warranties, the liability of Konsolute for damages or losses or other terms that cannot be excluded or otherwise modified under applicable law notwithstanding a contractual restriction to the contrary. These Terms give You specific legal rights, and You may also have other legal rights, which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. For example, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or other rights, so those provisions of these Terms may not apply to You. Some of these legal requirements are described in the “Country/Jurisdiction-Specific Terms” section (Section 23).
Indemnity
You will indemnify and hold harmless (and, at Konsolute’s request, defend) Konsolute against any and all losses, liabilities, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) suffered or incurred by Konsolute by reason of any claim, suit or proceeding (“Claim”) arising out of or relating to (i) Your Content; (ii) Your (including Your Authorized Users’) use of Offerings, including any Output or other results produced by such use; and (iii) Your (including Your Authorized Users’) breach of these Terms (including any Additional Agreement, any Special Terms or any other applicable terms), including a Claim that asserts or purports to be based on Konsolute negligence.
Term, Termination, Suspension
These Terms become effective on the first date accepted in accordance with the “Acceptance” section (Section 1) and continue in effect indefinitely unless terminated in accordance with this “Term, Termination, Suspension” section (Section 20).
Your right to terminate
You may terminate Your subscriptions and these Terms if Konsolute is in material breach of these Terms (including any Additional Agreement, any Special Terms or any other applicable terms) and fails to cure such breach within 30 days after written notice of the breach.
Konsolute right to terminate
Konsolute may terminate any or all of Your subscriptions or other Offerings, these Terms and/or Your account, if (i) You have no current paid subscriptions; (ii) You have failed to timely pay any amounts (including fees and taxes) owing with respect to any Offerings or otherwise owing to Konsolute; (iii) You (including any of Your Authorized Users) are in material breach of these Terms (including any Additional Agreement, any Special Terms, or any other applicable terms) and fail to cure such breach within 30 days after written notice of the breach; or (iv) You become subject to bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, become insolvent, make an arrangement with or affecting Your creditors (including an assignment for the benefit of creditor) or commence a process of liquidation. These Terms will automatically terminate without further notice or action by Konsolute if You go into liquidation.
Effect of termination of subscription
Upon expiration or termination of a subscription or other Offering for any reason, Your rights with respect to that Offering, including any related Software license or subscription Benefits, will end. At that time, You will stop all access to and use of the Offering (including all access and use by Your Authorized Users) and uninstall any and all copies of materials related to such Offering (including any related Software, Documentation, APIs or other material from Konsolute). In addition, at Konsolute’s request, You will destroy any such copies or return them to Konsolute or the reseller from which You acquired the Offering. You will retain proof that You returned or destroyed all such copies. In connection with the expiration or termination of a subscription, (i) as a convenience to You for some Web Services, Konsolute may provide You with a brief period (for example, 30 days) in which You may retrieve Your Content after expiration or termination of the Web Services, if You are in compliance with these Terms and pay the applicable fees, if any (for example, Konsolute’s then-current professional services fees for any assistance Konsolute provides), and (ii) otherwise, Konsolute may delete, without notice, any or all of Your Content, including backup and other copies thereof. For more information on post-expiration/termination content retrieval, please check with the individual Web Services Offering. This convenience for some Web Services, if available, does not relieve You of responsibility for retaining and securing complete copies of Your Content at all times.
Effect of termination of terms
Upon any termination of these Terms for any reason, (i) Your account and Your subscriptions and other Offerings, including those of Your Authorized Users, will immediately terminate, (ii) You will cease all access to and use of any Offerings (including all access and use by Your Authorized Users), and (iii) the effects described above with respect to expiration or termination of a subscription or other Offering will apply. Your payment obligations, ownership of Your work (as described in the “You Own Your Work” section (Section 5)), obligations with respect to APIs and Your Development (including those in the “Konsolute APIs” section (Section 11.2)) and indemnity obligations (including those in the “Indemnity” section (Section 19)); the license as to Feedback (in the “Feedback” section (Section 14)); Konsolute’s rights and Your obligations with respect to proprietary rights (including the rights and obligations in the “Konsolute Proprietary Rights” section (Section 17)); the disclaimers and limitations on liability (in the “Limited Warranty, Disclaimers, Limitation on Liability” section (Section 18)); the governing law and dispute resolution provisions (in the “Contracting Konsolute Entity, Governing Law, and Dispute Resolution” section (Section 21.4)); and Your responsibility for anyone who accesses or uses (or obtains) Offerings through You or Your account (including Your Authorized Users) (including the responsibility described in the “Account” section (Section 4)) will survive termination for any reason.
Konsolute’s right to suspend
If Konsolute believes in good faith that Your Content or Your conduct or failure to act (including the conduct or failure of Your Authorized Users) may (i) pose a security risk or otherwise adversely impact Offerings, systems or other users; (ii) constitute or enable tampering with, removing, disabling or otherwise limiting the effectiveness of any technical protections (including any mechanisms for managing, monitoring, controlling or analysing the installation of, access or, or use of any Offerings or protections of Konsolute’s intellectual property rights); (iii) subject Konsolute, any reseller or any other user to liability; or (iv) not comply with these Terms (including any Additional Agreement, any Special Terms or any other applicable terms), including failure to pay any amounts owing with respect to any Offerings, Konsolute has the right, but not the obligation, to immediately disable or suspend Your access to and use of any Offerings and access to and use of Your Content. Unless Konsolute reasonably determines that immediate action is prudent, Konsolute will seek to notify You of the planned disabling or suspension before it takes effect.
Miscellaneous
Changes to the offerings
Konsolute reserves the right from time to time to (and You acknowledge and agree that Konsolute may) (i) modify or release subsequent versions of an Offering, or may discontinue an Offering and/or provide instead a substitute Offering; (ii) modify or discontinue the Benefits, features and functionality, or supporting services or availability with respect to an Offering, whether generally or in any geographic area or language; or (iii) add or modify license keys, authorizations or other means of controlling access to or use of the Offerings. Konsolute will endeavour to inform You of major changes to the Offerings.
Changes to terms
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Konsolute reserves the right from time to time to (and You acknowledge that Konsolute may) modify these Terms. Konsolute will endeavour to notify You of any material modification to the Terms that may have a materially adverse effect on You (“Modification Notice”), and You will then have an opportunity to review such modification. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in these Terms (including any Additional Agreement or Special Terms), if any such modification has a material adverse effect on You and You do not agree to the modification, You may reject the modification by notifying Konsolute of the rejection within 30 days of the Modification Notice. If You reject a modification under these circumstances, (i) Your access to and use of any Offerings affected by the modification will continue to be governed by the terms in effect immediately before the modification (except to the extent the modification was made for security, privacy or legal compliance reasons) until (a) the end of the then-current period for the subscription or other Offering, if applicable, or (b) 180 days after the Modification Notice, whichever is earlier; and (ii) Your rights to such Offerings, including any related subscription Benefits, will then terminate. In the event of such a termination by You, Konsolute (or an applicable reseller) will refund the prorated portion of any prepaid fees applicable to the remaining term of Your subscription for the affected Offerings after the effective date of termination. Such date will be the end of the term of such Offerings. If the subscription is renewed or extended, it will be under the then-current Terms. Notices by You or Konsolute will be provided as set forth below, except that You may also provide Your notice of rejection (within the 30-day period described above) to the email address, or in any other manner, specified in the Modification Notice.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, modifications to the Privacy Statement, Special Terms, Subscription Types, Subscription Benefits or other policies will be handled as described therein.
You acknowledge that Your commitments with respect to the Offerings and Subscription Benefits are not contingent on delivery of future features or functionality (or oral or written statements about future features or functionality).
Language of terms; Interpretation
The English language version of these Terms will be the version used when interpreting or construing these Terms, and any notices or other communications in connection with these Terms will be provided in the English language. Any reference in these Terms to “days” are to calendar days unless otherwise specified. The words “including” and “for example” or “e.g.,” and words of similar import, are not limiting or exclusive and will be deemed followed by “without limitation,” whether or not such language is included. Section and other headings are for ease of reference only and are not to be used to interpret the meaning of any provision. Any rights and remedies provided for in these Terms are cumulative and are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available under applicable law.
If You have any dispute with respect to an Offering or otherwise arising from or relating to these Terms (including any Additional Agreement, any Special Terms, the Konsolute Privacy Statement or any other applicable terms), You will first seek to resolve the dispute informally with the Konsolute Party as set forth above by providing notice of the dispute (including a description of the dispute and related documentation) in the manner described below for Notices and cooperating with the Konsolute Party to try to address the matter amicably. If the dispute is not resolved within 30 days from receipt of the notice, either You or the Konsolute Party may file a formal claim in the forum for dispute resolution described above (depending on Your principal place of business or, if You are an individual, Your place of residence).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Konsolute may apply for injunctive relief and other equitable remedies (or their equivalent) in any jurisdiction or forum.
Compliance
Konsolute has the right to verify (electronically or otherwise) Your installation of, access to, and use of any Offerings, including installation, access and use by Your Authorized Users. As part of any such verification, Konsolute or its authorized representative will have the right, on 15 days’ prior notice to You, to inspect Your records, systems, and facilities, including machine IDs, serial numbers and other related information. Additionally, within 15 days of the verification request, You will, if requested, provide copies of all records and other additional information related to Your (including Your Authorized Users’) installation of, access to, and use of the Offerings. If Konsolute determines that Your installation, access or use is not in conformity with these Terms (including any Additional Agreement, Special Terms or other applicable terms), You will promptly remedy the noncompliance, which may include purchasing valid subscriptions to bring Your usage into compliance, and pay the reasonable costs of the verification.
