    2. LICENSE

      Grant. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Goldfinger grants to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide license to use the Software in machine-readable, object code form only.

      Scope. For each license key you purchase, your license to use the Software under this Agreement entitles you to (i) load the Software into the temporary or permanent memory of one Authorized Device and (ii) activate and use a single instance of the Software on such device. Loading the Software on a network server solely for distribution to Authorized Devices within your network is permitted under this Agreement, but you must have a valid license key for each installed instance of the Software. You may make up to three (3) copies of the Software but only for archival, backup, disaster recovery, and/or non-production internal testing purposes.

      Evaluation Licenses. If you obtained a free trial or evaluation version of the Software from Goldfinger or an authorized reseller of the Software, the Software will come with a trial activation key that activates the Software for fourteen (14) days or other limited period of time (the “Trial Period”). In such case, you may use the Software during and only during the Trial Period for internal noncommercial purposes and in a non-production environment solely to evaluate the suitability of the Software for your needs. You have no right or license to use the Software after the Trial Period unless you purchase a license key.
       

    3. TERM

      The term of your License is the term, period of performance or subscription period stated in the Order (the “Term”). The Term shall commence on the date Goldfinger generates a license key for the Software pursuant to this Agreement (the “Effective Date”). If Licensee wishes to continue to use the Software after the Term expires, Licensee must re-license the Software pursuant to a new Order and subject to the terms and conditions of the End User License Agreement for the Software then in effect. Licensee acknowledges that its copy of the Software contains license protection mechanisms that will render the Software inoperative automatically when the Term expires.
       

    4. LICENSE FEE

      In consideration of the License, Licensee shall pay to Goldfinger or its authorized reseller, as the case may be, the aggregate amount of all fees stated in the Order (“License Fees”). Except as otherwise provided Subsection 12(c), all License Fees are non-refundable.

Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, restrictions in this Agreement on the use, modification, reproduction and distribution of the Software contrary to the terms of the applicable open source license agreement do not apply to the source code of Open Source Software.

    10. CONFIDENTIALITY​

      a.) As used in this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” means, with respect to information disclosed by one party (hereafter, the “Disclosing Party”) to the other party (hereafter, the “Receiving Party”), any and all information of every kind and description relating to or concerning the Disclosing Party or its Affiliates marked “confidential” or “proprietary” or that a reasonable businessperson would understand to be of a confidential or proprietary nature under circumstances of disclosure or to give the Disclosing Party a competitive business advantage by reason of such information not being generally known, including but not limited to technical information; market, product and service offerings; data, code, know how, and trade secrets; and financial information, marketing plans, business opportunities, and actual or prospective and other third-party business relationships. Notwithstanding the foregoing, information relating to or concerning a Disclosing Party shall not be deemed Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement if (i) such information becomes publicly known after disclosure to the Receiving Party through no act or neglect of the Receiving Party in violation of this Agreement, (ii) such information that was already known or subsequently becomes available to the Receiving Party or its Representatives as a result of disclosure by a third party not under duty of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party, or (iii) such information was independently developed by the Receiving Party or its Representatives without reliance on or use of Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.

      b.) The Receiving Party shall hold in strict confidence and shall not disclose or communicate to any other person Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party furnished or made available to the Receiving Party, whether before or after the Effective Date. The Receiving Party shall use Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party solely for the purpose of evaluating a possible Transaction and for no other purpose. The Receiving Party shall protect Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party from unauthorized disclosure contrary to this section using the same degree of care the Receiving Party uses to protect its own confidential and proprietary information but no less than a reasonable degree of care.

      c.) Notwithstanding the foregoing:

      (i) The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to such of the Receiving Party’s directors, officers and responsible employees and to such of its outside financial, legal and tax advisors and consultants of the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates (each a “Representative”) as have reasonable need for such information in connection with this Agreement, provided that each Representative to whom Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party is disclosed (i) has been informed of the confidentiality of the such information and (ii) is obligated by reason of a written agreement, conditions of employment, professional ethics or operation of law to maintain and hold in confidence Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the same extent required of the Receiving Party under this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify the Disclosing Party against losses sustained by the Disclosing Party as a result of, any unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information by its Representatives or any of them contrary to the terms of this Agreement.
      (ii) Goldfinger may collect and track technical and related information about Licensee and its use of the Software (including but not limited to Licensee’s internet protocol address, hardware identifying information, operating system, application software, peripheral hardware, and Software usage statistics) in order to assist Goldfinger with maintaining and improving the Software, issuing Updates and related support, marketing, and research and development.

      d.) At the written request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party will promptly return to the Disclosing Party or delete or destroy, as the Disclosing Party may direct and as the context may require, all printed materials and digital files containing Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party then in the possession or control of the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives, including but not limited to information stored on hard drives, in computer memory, on remote servers, and any other data storage apparatus or depository. With respect to digital files and other information stored electronically, it is understood that deletion of such files from e-mail inboxes and working hard drives and servers shall suffice for destruction in accordance with this section, there being no need to erase system back-up files.

      e.) The Receiving Party acknowledges that Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party is unique and valuable to the Disclosing Party and that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for unauthorized disclosure of such information contrary to this agreement. Accordingly, in addition to and without limiting any other remedy available at law or in equity, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive and equitable relief as a remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this section by the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives.

      f.) In the event the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives is required by law, regulation or court order to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party will, to the extent permitted by law and reasonably practicable, promptly notify the Disclosing Party in writing prior to such disclosure in order to give the Disclosing Party an opportunity to petition the court or other authority for a protective order or similar remedy. The Receiving Party agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, in connection with any such petition.

      g.) The Disclosing Party’s failure to exercise or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege of the Disclosing Party under this agreement shall not operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege of the Disclosing Party under this agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof by the Disclosing Party or the Disclosing Party’s exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No provision or breach of this agreement shall be deemed waived by the Disclosing Party unless the Disclosing Party acknowledges and consents to such waiver in writing.

      h.) The provisions of this section and the parties’ respective obligations hereunder shall survive the expiration of the Term indefinitely.

       

    11. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

      Licensee acknowledges that the Software and all Intellectual Property Rights associated therewith are and shall remain the exclusive property of Goldfinger and its third-party licensors. All rights in and to the Software not granted to Licensee under this Agreement are hereby reserved.

      Licensee shall notify Goldfinger in writing promptly upon learning of any claim, action or demand indemnifiable and for which Licensee seeks indemnification under the provisions of this section (any “Claim”), but Licensee’s failure to give or delay in giving notice of a Claim shall not affect or diminish Goldfinger’s obligations under this section unless and to the extent Goldfinger’s defense of the Claim is materially prejudiced by such failure or delay.

      Licensee shall not admit any liability whatsoever with respect to the Claim, whether to the claimant or to any other person.

      Goldfinger shall have sole control over the investigation and defense of the Claim using counsel of its choosing and sole authority to authorize any settlement thereof. Licensee shall promptly and fully cooperate with Goldfinger in such defense, including by making available such books and records and such resources and time of knowledgeable representatives of Licensee as Goldfinger or its counsel may reasonably request.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) Licensee at its expense may participate in the defense of the Claim with counsel of Licensee’s choosing, provided such participation does not conflict or interfere with Goldfinger’s defense of the Claim; and (B) no settlement of a Claim requiring or conditioned upon an admission of guilt or liability by Licensee may entered into without Licensee’s joinder or written consent.

      c.) If the Software becomes or in the opinion of Goldfinger may become the subject of a claim of infringement subject to indemnification under this section, then in lieu of settling the claim Goldfinger may in its sole discretion (i) procure for Licensee the right to use the Software free of any liability; (ii) replace or modify the Software to make it non-infringing; or (iii) cancel this Agreement and refund any prepaid License Fees allocable to the remaining balance of the Term.

      d.) The foregoing provisions state the entire liability of Goldfinger and the exclusive remedies of Licensee in connection with any third-party claim or potential claim of infringement related to the Software or Licensee’s use thereof.

      d.) Any provision of this section to the contrary notwithstanding, Goldfinger assumes no liability hereunder for and shall have no obligation to defend or indemnify Licensee in connection with any claim of infringement based upon Licensee’s use of the Software in combination with any third-party program or application not approved by Goldfinger for such use.

    12. PUBLICITY

      a.) Goldfinger may identify Licensee as a customer in Software promotional material unless and until Licensee elects to opt out of such identification pursuant to subsection (b) of this section.

      b.) Licensee at any time may direct Goldfinger to exclude Licensee from Software promotional material by submitting a written request for exclusion via email to privacy@goldfingerholdings.com. Goldfinger will remove any reference to Licensee from promotional material within thirty (30) days following its receipt of any such request.

    13. TAXES AND DUTIES

      The fees hereunder do not include, and Licensee shall be solely responsible for, sales and use taxes and any other taxes and duties if applicable in respect of the License. If Goldfinger is or becomes obligated to collect any tax or duty for which Licensee are responsible, Licensee shall pay to Goldfinger the amount of such tax or duty in addition to the underlying fee.

    14. RESELLER TERMS

      If you purchase a license key through an authorized reseller and not from Goldfinger directly, you may be subject to additional terms and conditions imposed by the reseller in connection with your purchase, but the terms of this Agreement shall govern your use of the Software regardless of any contrary reseller terms.

    15. TERMINATION

      Either party may cancel this Agreement and terminate the License upon not less than ten (10) business days’ prior written or electronic notice to the other party if the other party breaches a material provision of this Agreement and such breach, if capable of being cured, is not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the non-breaching party by the termination date specified in such notice. A notice of termination under this section shall specify the nature of the breach with reasonable particularity in order to allow the breaching party an opportunity to cure it. Upon termination of the License pursuant to this section, Licensee will delete the Software from its system as applicable and destroy any archival, backup or recovery copies of the Software.

    16. ASSIGNMENT

      a.) Licensee may not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of Goldfinger, which consent may be withheld or conditioned in the sole and absolute discretion of Goldfinger. For purposes of this section, any merger or consolidation of Licensee with or into another legal entity or any sale, transfer or issuance of voting securities of or by Licensee that results in a change in control of Licensee shall constitute an assignment of this Agreement by Licensee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any such merger, consolidation, or change of control, or in the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Licensee, Licensee may assign this Agreement to the successor or purchaser, as the case may be, provided Licensee notifies Goldfinger in writing of the transaction not less than thirty (30) days prior to the closing thereof and provided, further, that the assignee consents and agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement as a substitute licensee.

      b.) Goldfinger may assign this Agreement at any time upon reasonable prior written notice to Licensee.

    18. LIABILITY OF AFFILIATES.

      To the extent an Affiliate elects to use the Software, the obligations of Licensee under this Agreement shall be binding upon such Affiliate by virtue and as a condition of such use. Licensee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Goldfinger from and against any and all loss, cost, liability or expense (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) arising out of or resulting from any breach of such obligations by an Affiliate.

    19. FORCE MAJEURE

      Neither party will be liable for, or be considered to be in breach of or default under this Agreement, other than monetary obligations, as a result of any cause or condition beyond such party’s reasonable control including without limitation, acts of God, war, riot, strike, labor disturbance, terrorist act, fire, explosion, flood, or IT failures outside of the control of either party, such as internet failures, communication system failures, or shortage or failure of suppliers.
