LICENSOR warrants and represents to the LICENSEE the following:
5.1 That each Licensed SOFTWARE program will conform to LICENSOR's prevailing published Program Specifications when delivered to LICENSEE.
5.2 The LICENSOR is the sole owner of all right, title and interest in and to the Licensed Programs.
5.3 That the Licensed SOFTWARE does not infringe upon any patent(s) theretofore issued in the United States or upon any other patent application pending.
5.4 That no other persons, firm or corporation has any right, title or interest in and to the Licensed SOFTWARE and that LICENSEE shall have the right to use the Licensed SOFTWARE as herein provided.
5.5 That the LICENSOR has the full power to grant the rights and privileges herein granted to the Licensee pursuant to the Agreement.
5.6 EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTY STATED ABOVE, LICENSOR GRANTS NO WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ON ANY LICENSED PROGRAM, INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND THE STATED EXPRESS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL LIABILITIES OR OBLIGATIONS OF LICENSOR FOR DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OCCURRING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF LICENSED PROGRAMS.
LICENSEE agrees not to provide or otherwise make available any Licensed Program, including but not limited to flow charts, logic diagrams and source codes, in any form, to any person other than LICENSEE's or LICENSOR's employees without prior consent from LICENSOR, except during the period any such person is on LICENSEE's premises with LICENSEE's permission for purposes specifically related to LICENSEE'S use of the Licensed Program. LICENSEE agrees to take appropriate action by instruction, agreement, or otherwise with all employees or other persons permitted access to Licensed Programs to satisfy his obligations under this Agreement with respect to use, copying modification, and protection and security of Licensed Programs.
LICENSOR at its own expense will defend any action brought against LICENSEE to the extent that it is based on a claim that any Licensed SOFTWARE used within the scope of the license hereunder infringes a United States patent or copyright, provided: LICENSEE notifies LICENSOR promptly in writing of the action (and all prior claims relating to such action) and LICENSOR has sole control of the defense and all negotiations for the settlement or compromise. In the event any Licensed Programs become, or in LICENSOR's opinion are likely to become, the subject of a claim of infringement of a patent or copyright, LICENSOR may at its option either secure the LICENSEE's right to continue using the Licensed Programs, replace or modify them to make them non-infringing, or if neither of the foregoing alternatives is reasonably available to LICENSOR, discontinue the Licensed SOFTWARE upon one month notice.
If, however, the Licensed SOFTWARE is not the subject of a claim of patent or copyright infringement, LICENSEE may notify LICENSOR in writing during the one month after LICENSOR's notice of discontinuance that LICENSEE elects to continue to be licensed with respect to the Licensed SOFTWARE until there has been an injunction or the claim has been withdrawn, and agrees to undertake at LICENSEE's expense the defense of any action against LICENSEE and to indemnify LICENSOR with respect to all costs, damages, and attorney's fees attributable to such continued use after such notice is given to LICENSOR; it being understood that LICENSOR may participate at its expense in the defense of any such action if such claim is against LICENSOR. LICENSOR shall have no liability for any claim of copyright of patent infringement based on use of other than a current unaltered release of the Licensed SOFTWARE available from LICENSOR if such infringement would have been avoided by the use of a current unaltered release of the Licensed SOFTWARE available from LICENSOR. THE FOREGOING STATES THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF LICENSOR WITH RESPECT TO INFRINGEMENT OF ANY COPYRIGHTS OR PATENTS BY THE LICENSED PROGRAMS OR ANY PARTS THEREOF.
LICENSEE agrees that LICENSOR's liability hereunder for damages shall not exceed the charges paid by LICENSEE for the particular Licensed SOFTWARE or related materials for any lost profits, or for any claim or demand against the LICENSEE by any other party, No action, regardless of form arising out of the transactions under this Agreement, maybe brought by either party more than one year after the cause of action has accrued, except that an action for nonpayment may be brought within one year after the date of last payment.
Each party agrees that all code, inventions, know-how, business, technical and financial information it obtains (“Receiving Party”) from the disclosing party (“Disclosing Party”) constitute the confidential property of the Disclosing Party (“Confidential Information”), provided that it is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or should be reasonably known by the Receiving Party to be Confidential Information due to the nature of the information disclosed and the circumstances surrounding the disclosure. Any software, documentation or technical information provided by LICENSOR (or its agents), performance information relating to the Software, and the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information of LICENSOR without any marking or further designation. Except as expressly authorized herein, the Receiving Party will hold in confidence and not use or disclose any Confidential Information. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer shall ensure that its Procurement Agent is subject to written confidentiality terms that are no less protective of LICENSOR than the terms of this Agreement. The Receiving Party’s nondisclosure obligation shall not apply to information which the Receiving Party can document: (a) was rightfully in its possession or known to it prior to receipt of the Confidential Information; (b) is or has become public knowledge through no fault of the Receiving Party; (c) is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; (d) is independently developed by employees of the Receiving Party who had no access to such information; or (e) is required to be disclosed pursuant to a regulation, law or court order (but only to the minimum extent required to comply with such regulation or order and with advance notice to the Disclosing Party). The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the Receiving Party the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law. For clarity, the above confidentiality restrictions do not apply to Customer’s use of licensed SOFTWARE.
This Agreement represents the entire and integrated agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior negotiations, representations of agreements, either written or oral.
If any of the provisions of this Agreement are invalid under any applicable statute or rule of law, they are, to that extent, deemed omitted.
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia.
