For On-premise Software, Enhancements will be made available to you by Nectari or your Reseller, if you have purchased a subscription license that includes Support Services or have otherwise purchased Support Services. For Cloud Software, all any Enhancements shall be made available to you as they are made generally available to Nectari’s Cloud Software customers.

2.3. Purchase through Reseller. If you have licensed the Software from a Reseller, (i) your access and use of the Software (together with any other related services that it provides to you) are subject to the terms of the agreement entered into between you and the Reseller; and (ii) the Reseller (and not Nectari) is responsible for the services it provides to you, but Nectari remains the licensor of the Software. If there is any conflict between this Agreement and the agreement you have with your Reseller, then the provisions of the separate agreement with the Reseller will apply solely with respect to the services provided by the Reseller but you will still remain responsible and liable to Nectari for your compliance with this Agreement.

2.4. Functionalities. You acknowledge that your use of the Software in accordance with the terms of this Agreement is neither contingent on the delivery of any future Enhancements to or functionality or features of the Software, nor dependent on any oral or written public comments made by Nectari regarding future functionality or features of the Software.

2.5. Your Responsibilities. You are responsible (i) for the means by which you acquired Customer Data, the accuracy, quality, legality and use of Customer Data; (ii) for implementing reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to or use of the Software (including, but not limited to, by preserving the confidentiality of the Users’ user identifications and passwords and for restricting or protecting access to your equipment (hardware and software), whether operated and/or maintained by you or by third parties on your behalf, required to access and use the Software), and notifying Nectari promptly of any unauthorized access or use of the Software which may have an impact on the Software or Nectari; (iii) using the Software only in accordance with the Agreement and the Documentation and applicable laws and government regulations; and (iv) purchasing and maintaining in good working order all your equipment (including network equipment and systems, whether operated and/or maintained by you or by third parties on your behalf), software and Internet connection necessary to access and use the Software, and complying with any third party licence terms or other third party agreements in relation to your use of such equipment, software and Internet connection.

You will take all reasonable measures to prevent the Software to be accessed or used by anyone other than the Users. Except as provided herein, you may not (i) loan, rent, lease, transfer, convey, assign, sell, distribute the Software or grant sublicenses for the Software or any part thereof; (ii) modify, combine or distribute the Software (or any part thereof) with any other software or code in a manner which would subject the Software to open source license terms; (iii) use the Software to store or transmit infringing, libellous, or otherwise unlawful or tortious material, or to store or transmit material (including Customer Data) in violation of third party privacy rights; (iv) use the Software to store or transmit Malicious Code; (v) interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Software; (vi) copy, frame or mirror any part or content of the Software, other than copying or framing on your own intranets or otherwise for your own internal operational purposes; (vii) reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Software or Nectari’s systems or networks; (viii) use or access the Software in order to build a competitive product or service, develop or train a competitive AI model, or copy any features, functions or graphics of the Software; (ix) use the Software to do anything or to encourage conduct that would constitute a criminal offense or give rise to civil liability, or is any way unlawful, abusive, illegal, fraudulent, or harmful to any third party; (x) use the Software to inflict harm on individuals, organizations or society; (xi) use the Software to make decisions or take actions without appropriate human oversight, particularly for financial, legal or contractual matters or any decision that could materially affect individuals or organizations; (xii) use the Software to deceive or intentionally misinform or deploy subliminal techniques with the intent to manipulate or distort the behavior of a person in a way that causes harm; (xiii) use the Software for social scoring or predictive profiling that would lead to discriminatory, unfair, biased, detrimental, unfavorable or harmful treatment of certain persons or groups of persons; (xiv) use the Software for unlawful tracking, surveillance, stalking or harassment of a person; or (xv) attempt to do any of the foregoing prohibitions. In addition to the above, access and use of the Software may be subject to restrictions and/or

Such policies must, at a minimum, address appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, restrictions on unauthorized access or disclosure, and responsible and lawful use of AI technologies. Customer will ensure that all of its Users comply with these policies when accessing or using the Software.

2.9. Data Backup.

  • (a) For On-premise Software, you are responsible to have and maintain in place industry standard  
          backup/disaster recovery processes for Customer Data and Software Data, including for reconstruction of lost or altered  
          source data.
  • (b) For Cloud Software, (i) you are responsible to keep copies (in any relevant format) of all Customer Data that is 
          submitted/entered by you or your Users into the Software and to have and maintain in place industry standard backup/disaster 
          recovery processes for Customer Data (including for the reconstruction of lost or altered source data); and (ii) Nectari is 
          responsible to have and maintain in place industry standard backup/disaster recovery processes for Software Data; provided, 
          however, that Nectari shall only be obligated to provide you the same backup/disaster recovery standards as those provided by 
          Nectari’s hosting providers.

2.10. Personal Data. You represent and warrant that (i) you will comply with all applicable data protection laws; (ii) you are authorized pursuant to all applicable data protection laws to disclose any Personal Data which you disclose or otherwise provide to Nectari (via the Software or otherwise); and (iii) you have obtained all necessary consents and rights and have provided all necessary information and notices to Data Subjects in order for (a) you to disclose Personal Data to Nectari; (b) Nectari to process Personal Data for the purposes set out in this Agreement; and (c) Nectari to disclose Personal Data to its Affiliates, its and their agents, and any other person in order to meet any obligations under this Agreement or under applicable law.

2.11. Compliance. You must keep records relating to all use of the Software. Nectari (or its agents) may, at its expense, audit such records to verify compliance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that: (i) Nectari gives you at least 5 days advance written notice of the audit; (ii) Nectari (or its agents) conducts the audit during normal business hours; and (iii) Nectari conducts no more than one such audit in a given calendar year.

2.12. Cloud Software Availability.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that Nectari may suspend your access to or use of the Cloud Software (i) for routine maintenance; (ii) if Nectari detects fraud, a security breach or any other similar threat that causes or that could cause, in Nectari’s reasonable opinion, damage to the Cloud Software or Customer Data; (iii) if you, or any User, is in breach of Sections 2.5 or 2.7; (iv) if you have failed to pay the applicable Fees, in accordance with Section 5.4 below; or (v) if Nectari’s hosting providers suspend their services to Nectari. Any suspension by Nectari of the Cloud Software in application of this Section shall not release you from your payment obligations under the Agreement. Nectari will use commercially reasonable efforts (i) to minimise interruptions for routine maintenance and to schedule such maintenance at non-peak hours and (ii) for fraud, security breach or other threat, to restore your access to the Cloud Software as soon as possible after the suspension. In addition, you acknowledge and agree that as the Cloud Software is accessible via the internet, it is therefore subject to limitations, security vulnerabilities, delays and other problems inherent to the operation of the internet and other electronic communications and that Nectari and/or its licensors will not be liable or responsible to you for any such delays, interruptions, security problems, delivery failures or other damage resulting from such problems.


3. SUPPORT SERVICES


3.1. Scope.

  • (a) Support Services Purchased From Nectari. If (i) you have purchased a subscription license of On-premise Software or Cloud Software including any optional add-ons or usage-based services from Nectari (which include Support Services); or (ii) you have otherwise purchased Support Services from Nectari (e.g., purchased with a perpetual license for On-premise Software), information about such Support Services is set out in the separate agreement between you and Nectari which sets out the terms of the Support Services.
  • (b) Support Services Purchased From a Reseller. If (i) you have purchased a subscription license of On-premise Software or Cloud Software (which include Support Services) from a Reseller; or (ii) you have otherwise purchased Support Services from a Reseller, such Support Services will be provided to you in accordance with the Reseller’s own documentation and instructions and the provisions of Section 3 will not apply to you.

3.2. Limitations. Where Nectari provides Support Services directly to you, Nectari is under no obligation to provide such Support Services where errors arise from (i) use of any third party equipment, hardware, software or communication lines; (ii) the modification of the Software by you or a third party (other than a third party authorized by Nectari); (iii) your failure to fulfil or observe your obligation in Section 2 of this Agreement; or (iv) incorrect use of the Software or operator error of the Software. The foregoing limitations are in addition to any other limitations/restrictions set out in the separate agreement between you and Nectari or your Reseller, as applicable, which sets out the terms of the Support Services.

3.3. Warranty. Nectari warrants that provided Nectari has received payment of all required Fees for Support Services and where Nectari provides Support Services directly to you, Nectari will use qualified personnel to provide Support Services in a professional manner consistent with industry standards. Your sole remedy under this Section 3 is limited to Nectari’s re-performance of the Support Services giving rise to your claim. You may request that Nectari performs additional consultancy, implementation or other services, which Nectari may at its discretion agree to do, subject to and on the terms of a separate services agreement.


4. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY; AI FEATURES


4.1. Customer Data. Nectari acknowledges and agrees that you own all rights, title and interest in and to Customer Data, including all Intellectual Property Rights related thereto.

4.2. Content. In using the Software, Customer and its Users will provide Customer Data as input to the Software ("Input") and receive Output that is created and generated by the Software (Output and Input together, the "Content"). As between Customer and Nectari, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, Customer retains all ownership and Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Content. Subject to Customer's compliance with this Agreement, Nectari assigns to Customer all of its rights, title and interest in and to the Output and waives any moral rights related thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer acknowledges and agrees that certain jurisdictions do not recognize Intellectual Property ownership in output generated in whole or in part by AI, and, as a result, Nectari makes no representation or warranty that Nectari will have any ownership rights in the Output to be able to assign to Customer its rights, title and interest therein and thereto.

4.3. Nectari Intellectual Property. Nectari (or its licensors or suppliers) owns all rights, title and interest in and to (i) the Software, the Software Data and the Documentation; (ii) the trademarks associated with the Software or Nectari; and (iii) all Intellectual Property and Intellectual Property Rights related to any of the foregoing. You will acquire no rights or licenses to the Software or any other Nectari property unless otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement.

4.4. Feedback. Nectari owns all rights, title and interest in and to any suggestions, requests or recommendations for improvements or enhancements to the Software that you (including any of your Users) may, alone or jointly with Nectari, propose or make during the term of the Agreement (collectively, “Feedback”). You hereby irrevocably (i) assign all your right, title and interest in and to the Feedback to Nectari; and (ii) waive in favour of Nectari, its successors and assigns any and all moral rights that you have or may have in the Feedback in each jurisdiction throughout the world, to the fullest extent that such rights may be waived in each respective jurisdiction.

4.5. Notices. You shall not remove any Intellectual Property Rights notices that appear in the Documentation or that are displayed through or embodied in the Software.

4.6. Third-Party AI Services. Customer acknowledges that certain features of the Software (“AI Features”) are powered by third-party artificial intelligence services (“Third-Party AI Providers”). Use of the AI Features is subject to Customer’s continued compliance with (i) this Agreement, and (ii) any applicable terms, usage policies, and documentation that may be issued by the Third-Party AI Providers, as such terms may be updated from time to time. Nectari does not control and is not responsible for the operation, availability, or performance of any Third-Party AI Provider. Nectari may modify, suspend, replace, or discontinue any AI Feature at any time to comply with the requirements or limitations imposed by a Third-Party AI Provider or applicable law, without any liability or obligation to Customer.

4.7. No Model Training. Nectari and the Third-Party AI Providers will process Input solely for the purpose of providing the AI Features, generating Output, ensuring security and improving the performance and quality of the AI Features as they specifically relate to Customer’s use of the Software and the AI Features. Neither Nectari nor the Third-Party AI Providers will use Input or Output to train, retrain or otherwise improve any artificial intelligence models that are made available to other customers (either of Nectari or of the Third-Party AI Providers).

5. FEES AND PAYMENT


5.1 Fees. You must pay the relevant Fees and any other charges arising under this Agreement as stated on the Order Form or Nectari’s invoice. If you purchased your Software licence or Support Services from a Reseller, Fees and payment terms are set out in the agreement with your Reseller and such terms prevail over the terms of this Section 5. If, at any time during the term of your Software license, you want to increase the number of Users that can access the Software or you want to access additional components or modules in the Software, you must pay all applicable Fees. Nectari may also make available optional add-ons or usage-based services (such as AI credits and additional cloud hosting options) for purchase directly within the Software or through online ordering flows, and any such purchases will give rise to additional Fees payable directly to Nectari.

5.2. Payment Terms. Unless otherwise set out in the Order Form or Nectari’s invoice (or if you have purchased a license for the Software through a Reseller, as set out in an order form or invoice), (i) Fees for a perpetual license of an On-premise Software shall be paid in full upon acceptance of your Order Form; and (ii) Fees for a subscription license of an On-premise Software or for Cloud Software, shall be paid in full at the beginning of each subscription period. All Fees are non-cancellable and non-refundable, even if you cancel or choose not to renew your Software license or Support Services. All payments must be made in the full amount, free of any deductions and without exercising any right of set-off.

5.3. Price Increase. If you purchased a subscription license of an On-premise Software or Cloud Software, Nectari may not increase the license fees more than once in any given calendar year. Nectari will use reasonable endeavours to give you (or your Reseller if you purchased the subscription license from a Reseller) 60 days’ written notice prior to your next renewal date of any price increase. If you continue to use the Software after the Fee change takes effect, you will be deemed to (i) agree to the increase in the Fees and (ii) authorize Nectari (or your Reseller, as applicable) to collect the new Fee amount using the agreed payment method. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 5.3 does not apply if you purchased a license for the Software under the brand “Sage Enterprise Intelligence (SEI)” or through a reseller authorized to distribute the Software under the SEI brand. In such cases, pricing, renewal fees, and any price changes are governed exclusively by the agreement between you and the applicable SEI distributor or reseller. For clarity, any optional add-ons, AI credits, usage-based services or any other products or services purchased directly from Nectari (including purchases made through in-product or online ordering flows) remain subject to Nectari’s pricing and may be increased by Nectari in accordance with this Section 5.3, even if your primary SEI license is managed by an SEI distributor or reseller.

5.4. No Payment. If Nectari has not received payment of the applicable Fees either from you or from your Reseller (as the case may be) or if Nectari has received notification from your Reseller of your non-payment, then, without prejudice to Nectari’s other rights and obligations, Nectari may suspend or terminate your license to the Software. However, where a license for the Software has been purchased under the “Sage Enterprise Intelligence (SEI)” brand, Nectari will suspend or terminate the license only upon notice or instruction from the party responsible for billing and collecting the applicable Fees for SEI.

5.5. Interest. In addition to any other rights or remedies of Nectari, any amount not paid by you when due shall bear interest at the rate that is the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate allowable by law.

5.6. Currency. All invoices or Order Forms to you and payments from you to Nectari will reflect and be in the currency specified on your invoice or Order Form.

5.7. Taxes. Fees quoted do not include applicable sales taxes but all applicable taxes will be included in the amount Nectari or your Reseller charges you, and you shall be responsible for the payment of all such taxes.

5.8. Withholding Taxes (Gross-Up). If you are required by applicable law to withhold any taxes from payments due to Nectari, you shall increase the amount of the payment so that the net amount received by Nectari, after such withholding, equals the amount that would have been received if no withholding had been required.

The Software includes the AI Features, which make use of large language model (LLM) and other machine-learning systems including those from the Third-Part AI Providers.

You must evaluate the accuracy of any Output as appropriate for its use case, including by using human review of the Customer Data, the Output and the Content. Due to the nature of machine learning, Output may not be unique across customers and their Users and the Software may generate the same or similar Output for you and for a third-party. Nectari shall not be responsible for the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any Output generated by the use of the Software’s AI Features, nor for any decisions or actions taken based on such Output. The foregoing disclaimer shall not limit the generality of the Disclaimer in section 8.1 above.

You acknowledge and agree that you have chosen your Reseller and that such Reseller is an independent party and not an agent of Nectari.
