Further, this may include any open source software publicly available, including open source software under the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL), GNU General Public License (GPL), GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL), Mozilla Public License (MPL), Apache License, BSD licenses, or any other license that is approved by the Open Source Initiative.
(h) “Upgrades” means any new Software product version which includes product improvements, updates, bug fixes, patches, service packs, or other error corrections to the Software that Licensor generally makes available free of charge to all Licensees of the Software so long as Support Services fees are paid in full with no outstanding invoices overdue.
2. License.
(a) License Grant. Subject to and conditioned on Licensee’s payment of Fees and compliance with all other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Licensor hereby grants Licensee a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, and non-transferable (except in compliance with Section 12(g)) license during the Term to use the Software solely for Licensee’s internal business purposes up to the number of Authorized Users set forth in the Order Form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Licensee may make one copy of the Software solely for back-up, disaster recovery, and testing purposes. Any such copy of the Software: (x) remains Licensor’s exclusive property; (y) is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (z) must include all copyright or other proprietary rights notices contained in the original.
(b) Use Restrictions. Licensee shall not use the Software or Documentation for any purposes beyond the scope of the license granted in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing and except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, Licensee shall not at any time, directly or indirectly: (i) copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Software or the Documentation, in whole or in part; (ii) rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, assign, distribute, publish, transfer, or otherwise make available the Software or the Documentation; (iii) reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, decode, adapt, or otherwise attempt to derive or gain access to the source code of the Software, in whole or in part; (iv) remove any proprietary notices from the Software or the Documentation; or (v) use the Software in any manner or for any purpose that infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any intellectual property right or other right of any person, or that violates any applicable law.
(c) Reservation of Rights. Licensor reserves all rights not expressly granted to Licensee in this Agreement. Except for the limited rights and licenses expressly granted under this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement grants, by implication, waiver, estoppel, or otherwise, to Licensee or any third party any intellectual property rights or other right, title, or interest in or to the Software.
3. Licensee Responsibilities.
(a) General. Licensee is responsible and liable for all uses of the Software and Documentation resulting from access provided by Licensee, directly or indirectly, whether such access or use is permitted by or in violation of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Licensee is responsible for all acts and omissions of Authorized Users, and any act or omission by an Authorized User that would constitute a breach of this Agreement if taken by Licensee will be deemed a breach of this Agreement by Licensee. Licensee shall take reasonable efforts to make all Authorized Users aware of this Agreement’s provisions as applicable to such Authorized User’s use of the Software, and shall cause Authorized Users to comply with such provisions.
4. Support. Licensor shall provide Licensee with the maintenance and support services in English described in Exhibit A or as otherwise notified by Licensor from time to time following the Effective Date and during the Initial Term and future Terms (“Support Services”). The price for Support Services during the Initial Term is indicated in the attached Exhibit A as “recurring” services. The cost of Support Services may increase in future Terms, and any future price changes will be communicated in writing at least 30 days before going into effect. In order to maximize the effectiveness of the Support Services, Licensee agrees to timely install all required Upgrades, ensure the organization is using a supported version of the Software, and to follow all instructions from Licensor regarding the use of the Software. The annual payment for Support Services allows the licensed end-users to continue to use the software product for the specified term, provides access to the support portal for the licensed end-users and related business and IT stakeholders, view release-specific documentation, access on-demand webinars, receive standard support assistance when needed, and access to complimentary AutoAudit upgrades and service pack releases when available. In the event Licensee fails to timely pay any amounts for Support Services in full when due, Licensor may, at its option (and in addition to any other remedies permitted by this Agreement), immediately pause access to and refuse to provide any further Support Services unless and until Licensee pays any overdue amounts, along with any interest or late fees, in full. Upon termination of Support Services, Licensee is required to make payment in full for Support Services through the then-current term, and remove the Software from all laptops, tablets, computers, and servers, and otherwise cease using the Software.
5. Fees and Payment.
(a) Fees. Licensee shall pay Licensor the fees (“Fees”) set forth in Exhibit A without offset or deduction. Licensee shall make all payments hereunder in US dollars (unless Licensor issues an Order Form in a different currency) on or before the due date set forth in Exhibit A. If Licensee fails to make any payment when due, in addition to all other remedies that may be available: (i) Licensor may charge interest on the past due amount at the rate of 1.5% per month calculated daily and compounded monthly or, if lower, the highest rate permitted under applicable law; (ii) Licensee shall reimburse Licensor for all reasonable costs incurred by Licensor in collecting any late payments or interest, including attorneys’ fees, court costs, and collection agency fees; and (iii) if such failure continues for 21 days following written notice thereof, Licensor may prohibit access to the Software until all past due amounts and interest thereon and related costs have been paid, without incurring any obligation or liability to Licensee or any other person by reason of such prohibition of access to the Software.
(b) Taxes. All Fees and other amounts payable by Licensee under this Agreement are exclusive of taxes and similar assessments. Licensee is responsible for all sales, use, and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties, and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental or regulatory authority on any amounts payable by Licensee hereunder, other than any taxes imposed on Licensor’s income.
(c) Auditing Rights and Required Records. Licensor has the right (by itself or through its representatives) to audit Licensee, on at least 10 business days’ notice and during normal business hours, to verify whether Licensee is complying with the Agreement. Licensor will comply with Licensee’s reasonable security, health and safety, and confidentiality procedures that are provided to Licensor in advance in writing. Licensor will not audit more than once in every 12 months per Licensee location, unless Licensor has cause to suspect, or an audit reveals, that Licensee is non-compliant.
6. Confidential Information. From time to time during the Term, either Party may disclose or make available to the other Party information about its business affairs, products, confidential intellectual property, trade secrets, third-party confidential information, and other sensitive or proprietary information, whether orally or in written, electronic, or other form or media/in written or electronic form or media, that is confidential (whether or not marked, designated or otherwise identified as “confidential”) (collectively, “Confidential Information”). Confidential Information does not include information that, at the time of disclosure is: (a) in the public domain; (b) known to the receiving Party at the time of disclosure or otherwise rightfully obtained by the receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a third party; or (c) independently developed by the receiving Party. The receiving Party shall not disclose the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any person or entity, except to the receiving Party’s employees or agents who have a need to know the Confidential Information for the receiving Party to exercise its rights or perform its obligations hereunder and are similarly bound by confidentiality at least as protective as the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may disclose Confidential Information to the limited extent required (i) in order to comply with the order of a court or other governmental body, or as otherwise necessary to comply with applicable law, provided that the Party making the disclosure pursuant to the order shall first (if legally permissible) have given written notice to the other Party and made a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order (or allowed the other Party reasonable time to make such efforts); or (ii) to establish a Party’s rights under this Agreement, including to make required court filings. On the expiration or termination of the Agreement, the receiving Party shall, on request of the other Party, promptly destroy all copies, whether in written, electronic, or other form or media, of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. Each Party’s obligations of non-disclosure with regard to Confidential Information are effective as of the Effective Date and will expire five years from the date first disclosed to the receiving Party; provided, however, with respect to any Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret (as determined under applicable law), such obligations of non-disclosure will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for as long as such Confidential Information remains subject to trade secret protection under applicable law.
7. Intellectual Property Ownership.
(a) Licensee acknowledges that, as between Licensee and Licensor, Licensor owns all right, title, and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to the Software and Documentation and, with respect to Third-Party Products, the applicable third-party licensors own all right, title and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to the Third-Party Products.
8. Limited Warranties and Warranty Disclaimer.
(a) Licensor warrants that: (i) the Software will perform materially as described in the Documentation during the Term; and (ii) at the time of delivery the Software does not contain any virus or other malicious code that would cause the Software to become inoperable or incapable of being used in accordance with the Documentation. LICENSEE’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, AND LICENSOR’S ENTIRE LIABILITY FOR BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY, SHALL BE TO REFUND TO LICENSEE UP TO THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID TO LICENSOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN THE TWELVE-MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE ISSUE, WHICH SHALL BE IN THE SOLE DISCRETION OF LICENSOR.
(b) The warranties set forth in Section 8(a) do not apply, and become null and void, if Licensee breaches any material provision of this Agreement, or if Licensee, any Authorized User, or any other person provided access to the Software by Licensee or any Authorized User, whether or not in violation of this Agreement: (i) installs or uses the Software on or in connection with any hardware or software not specified in the Documentation or expressly authorized by Licensor in writing; (ii) modifies or damages the Software; or (iii) misuses the Software, including any use of the Software other than as specified in the Documentation or expressly authorized by Licensor in writing.
(c) EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 8(a), THE SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND LICENSOR HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. LICENSOR SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ALL WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE. EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTY SET FORTH IN SECTION 8(a), LICENSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND THAT THE SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION, OR ANY PRODUCTS OR RESULTS OF THE USE THEREOF, WILL MEET LICENSEE’S OR ANY OTHER PERSON’S REQUIREMENTS, OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION, ACHIEVE ANY INTENDED RESULT, BE COMPATIBLE OR WORK WITH ANY SOFTWARE, SYSTEM OR OTHER SERVICES, OR BE SECURE, ACCURATE, COMPLETE, FREE OF HARMFUL CODE, OR ERROR-FREE.
9. Indemnification.
(a) Licensor Indemnification.
(i) Licensor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Licensee from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (“Losses”) incurred by Licensee resulting from any third-party claim, suit, action, or proceeding (“Third-Party Claim”) that the Software or Documentation, or any use of the Software or Documentation in accordance with this Agreement, infringes or misappropriates such third party’s intellectual property rights, provided that Licensee promptly notifies Licensor in writing of the claim, cooperates with Licensor, and allows Licensor sole authority to control the defense and settlement of such claim.
(ii) If such a claim is made or appears possible, Licensee agrees to permit Licensor, at Licensor’s sole discretion, to (A) modify or replace the Software or Documentation, or component or part thereof, to make it non-infringing, or (B) obtain the right for Licensee to continue use. If Licensor determines that none of these alternatives is reasonably available, Licensor may terminate this Agreement, in its entirety or with respect to the affected component or part, effective immediately on written notice to Licensee.
(iii) This Section 9(a) will not apply to the extent that the alleged infringement arises from: (A) use of the Software in combination with data, software, hardware, equipment, or technology not provided by Licensor or authorized by Licensor in writing; or (B) modifications to the Software not made by Licensor.
(b) Licensee Indemnification. Licensee shall indemnify, hold harmless, and, at Licensor’s option, defend Licensor from and against any Losses resulting from any Third-Party Claim based on Licensee’s, or any Authorized User’s: (i) improper use or unauthorized disclosure of Licensee’s Personal Data; (ii) negligence or willful misconduct; (iii) use of the Software or Documentation in a manner not authorized or contemplated by this Agreement; (iv) use of the Software in combination with data, software, hardware, equipment or technology not provided by Licensor or authorized by Licensor in writing; (v) modifications to the Software not made by Licensor; or (vi) use of any version other than the most current version of the Software or Documentation delivered to Licensee, provided that Licensee may not settle any Third-Party Claim against Licensor unless such settlement completely and forever releases Licensor from all liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim or unless Licensor consents to such settlement, and further provided that Licensor will have the right, at its option, to defend itself against any such Third-Party Claim or to participate in the defense thereof by counsel of its own choice.
(c) Sole Remedy. THIS SECTION 9 SETS FORTH LICENSEE’S SOLE REMEDIES AND LICENSOR’S SOLE LIABILITY AND OBLIGATION FOR ANY ACTUAL, THREATENED, OR ALLEGED CLAIMS THAT THE SOFTWARE OR DOCUMENTATION INFRINGES, MISAPPROPRIATES, OR OTHERWISE VIOLATES ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY.
10. Limitations of Liability. IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT UNDER ANY LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, INCLUDING BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, AND OTHERWISE, FOR ANY: (a) CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, ENHANCED, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; (b) INCREASED COSTS, DIMINUTION IN VALUE OR LOST BUSINESS, PRODUCTION, REVENUES, OR PROFITS; (c) LOSS OF GOODWILL OR REPUTATION; (d) USE, INABILITY TO USE, LOSS, INTERRUPTION, DELAY OR RECOVERY OF ANY DATA, OR BREACH OF DATA OR SYSTEM SECURITY; OR (e) COST OF REPLACEMENT GOODS OR SERVICES, IN EACH CASE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER LICENSOR WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES OR SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES WERE OTHERWISE FORESEEABLE. IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT UNDER ANY LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, INCLUDING BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, AND OTHERWISE EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNTS PAID TO LICENSOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN THE TWELVE-MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
11. Term and Termination.
(a) Term. The initial term of this Agreement begins on the Effective Date and, unless terminated earlier pursuant to any of the Agreement’s express provisions, will continue in effect until one year from such date (the “Initial Term”). This Agreement will automatically renew for successive one-year terms on each anniversary date at Licensor’s then-current standard price unless either Party gives the other Party written notice of non-renewal at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the then-current term (each “Renewal Term” and together with the Initial Term, the “Term”). If Licensee elects to receive invoices quarterly (rather than annually), Licensee understands and agrees that such invoicing is merely for convenience and does not change the Term’s 12 month renewal duration.
(b) Termination. In addition to any other express termination right set forth in this Agreement:
(i) Licensor may terminate this Agreement, including Licensee’s license to use the Software, effective on written notice to Licensee, if Licensee: (A) fails to pay any amount when due hereunder, and such failure continues more than 7 days after Licensor’s delivery of written notice thereof; or (B) breaches any of its obligations under Section 2(b) or Section 6;
(ii) either Party may terminate this Agreement, effective on written notice to the other Party, if the other Party materially breaches this Agreement, and such breach: (A) is incapable of cure; or (B) being capable of cure, remains uncured for 30 days after the non-breaching Party provides the breaching Party with written notice of such breach; or
(iii) either Party may terminate this Agreement, effective immediately upon written notice to the other Party, if the other Party: (A) becomes insolvent or is generally unable to pay, or fails to pay, its debts as they become due; (B) files or has filed against it, a petition for voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or otherwise becomes subject, voluntarily or involuntarily, to any proceeding under any domestic or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency law; (C) makes or seeks to make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (D) applies for or has appointed a receiver, trustee, custodian, or similar agent appointed by order of any court of competent jurisdiction to take charge of or sell any material portion of its property or business.
(c) Effect of Expiration or Termination. Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, the license granted hereunder will also terminate, and, without limiting Licensee’s obligations under Section 6, Licensee shall cease using and delete, destroy, or return all copies of the Software and Documentation and certify in writing to the Licensor that the Software and Documentation has been deleted or destroyed. No expiration or termination will affect Licensee’s obligation to pay all Fees that may have become due before such expiration or termination, or entitle Licensee to any refund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Licensee, upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, wishes to retain a copy of any data previously stored in the Software, Licensee shall either (1) prior to termination or expiration, download any such archived data in accordance with Licensor’s standard instructions; or (2) renew one ongoing Software license solely for the purposes of data retention, compliance, and access to historical and archived data (a “Data Retention License”). In such instance, the applicable invoice amount for such Data Retention License will be calculated as the higher of: (1) 20% of the the then-current Licensor’s list rate for one Software license; or (2) Licensor’s then-current annual minimum maintenance amount. Annual invoicing for the Data Retention License will commence following the termination of the original Software license agreement’s end date. Any request for a Data Retention License must be made at least 90 days prior to the end of Licensee’s current term. If such request is not timely made by Licensee, then it shall not be eligible for a Data Retention License for the current or subsequent 12-month term. Annual price increases are applicable to the Data Retention License amount and will be applied as communicated by the annual price increase letter sent each October to the invoice contacts on file.
(d) Survival. This Section 11(d) and Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, 8(c), 9, 10, and 12 survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement. No other provisions of this Agreement survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
12. Miscellaneous.
(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with any other documents incorporated herein by reference and all related Exhibits, constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, and representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements made in the body of this Agreement, the related Exhibits, and any other documents incorporated herein by reference, the following order of precedence governs: (a) first, this Agreement, excluding its Exhibits; (b) second, the Exhibits to this Agreement as of the Effective Date; and (c) third, any other documents incorporated herein by reference.
(b) Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers, and other communications hereunder (each, a “Notice”) must be in writing and addressed to the Parties at the addresses set forth in Exhibit A of this Agreement (or to such other address that may be designated by the Party giving Notice from time to time in accordance with this Section). All Notices must be delivered by personal delivery, nationally recognized overnight courier (with all fees pre-paid), facsimile, or email (with confirmation of transmission) or certified or registered mail (in each case, return receipt requested, postage pre-paid).
(c) Force Majeure. In no event shall either Party be liable to the other Party, or be deemed to have breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under this Agreement (except for any obligations to make payments), if and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by any circumstances beyond such Party’s reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, war, terrorism, invasion, riot or other civil unrest, strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, or passage of law or any action taken by a governmental or public authority, including imposing an embargo.
(d) Amendment and Modification; Waiver. No amendment to or modification of this Agreement is effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each Party. No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof will be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Party so waiving. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, (i) no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power, or privilege arising from this Agreement will operate or be construed as a waiver thereof and (ii) no single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.
(e) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
(f) Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would require or permit the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware. Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement or the licenses granted hereunder must be instituted in the federal or state courts of the state of Delaware, and each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action, or proceeding.
(g) Assignment. Licensee may not assign or transfer any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Licensor. Any purported assignment, transfer, or delegation in violation of this Section is null and void. No assignment, transfer, or delegation will relieve the assigning or delegating Party of any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Licensor is permitted to assign this Agreement at any time, provided that any such assignee agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions of this Agreement, including all obligations of Licensor.
(h) Export Regulation. The Software may be subject to United States export control laws, including the Export Control Reform Act and its associated regulations. Licensee shall not, directly or indirectly, export, re-export, or release the Software to, or make the Software accessible from, any jurisdiction or country to which export, re-export, or release is prohibited by law, rule, or regulation. Licensee shall comply with all applicable federal laws, regulations, and rules, and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval), prior to exporting, re-exporting, releasing, or otherwise making the Software available outside the US. Furthermore, Licensee shall not obtain, retain, use, or provide access to the Software to any of its affiliates or to any third party in a manner that may breach any applicable export control or economic sanctions laws and regulations for any jurisdiction, including the United States of America and the European Union and its Member States. Licensee warrants that neither it nor any of affiliates to which Licensor provides access to the Software is or is affiliated with a specially designated or sanctioned entity under any of those laws and that, in any transaction relating to Licensor, it will not involve sanctioned parties, including without limitation through the use of bank accounts at banks that are sanctioned parties.
(i) Compliance with Data and Privacy Regulations. The parties will at all times process Licensee’s Personal Data in accordance with applicable laws and regulations governing the processing of such information. Licensee confirms that any Personal Data that it discloses to Licensor (including when it uploads such Personal Data into the Software) is disclosed in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to Licensee. The parties shall use reasonable efforts to assist one another in relation to the investigation and remedy of any claim, allegation, action, suit, proceeding or litigation with respect to alleged unauthorized access, use, processing or disclosure of Licensee’s Personal Data. Each party will maintain, and will require all third party data processors each such party engages to maintain, appropriate physical, technical and organizational measures to protect Licensee’s Personal Data against accidental, unauthorised or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure or access.
(j) US Government Rights. Each of the Documentation and the Software is a “commercial item” as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. § 2.101, consisting of “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. § 12.212. Accordingly, if Licensee is an agency of the US Government or any contractor therefor, Licensee only receives those rights with respect to the Software and Documentation as are granted to all other end users under license, in accordance with (a) 48 C.F.R. § 227.7201 through 48 C.F.R. § 227.7204, with respect to the Department of Defense and their contractors, or (b) 48 C.F.R. § 12.212, with respect to all other US Government licensees and their contractors.
(k) Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such Party of any of its obligations under Section 6 or, in the case of Licensee, Section 2(b), would cause the other Party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other Party will be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity, or otherwise.
(l) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which is deemed an original, but all of which together are deemed to be one and the same agreement.
