Legal terms

Customer Agreement

Revised 3 February 2020

This Datylon Customer Agreement (the “Agreement”) is between you and Datylon BV (“Datylon”). If you are agreeing to this Agreement not as an individual but on behalf of your company, then “Customer” or “you” means your company, and you are binding your company to this Agreement. Datylon may modify this Agreement from time to time, subject to the terms in Section 26 (Changes to this Agreement) below.

By clicking on the “I agree” (or similar button) that is presented to you at the time of your Order, or by using or accessing Datylon products or websites, you indicate your assent to be bound by this Agreement.

1. Scope of the Agreement. This Agreement governs your initial purchase as well as any future purchases made by you that reference this Agreement. This Agreement includes our Privacy Policy - Product, our Acceptable Use Policy, Data Processing Agreement, any Orders, and any other referenced policies and attachments. This Agreement applies to all Datylon Products. It does not apply to add-ons or plugins from other vendors even though these add-ons or plugins can interact with Datylon products.

2. Types of Datylon Products. This Agreement governs (a) Datylon’s commercially available downloadable software products including add-ons created by Datylon or (“Software”), (b) Datylon’s websites and hosted or cloud-based solutions (currently designated as "Cloud" deployments) (“Hosted Services”), (c) any Datylon-provided sample files (“Sample Files”) such as data files, infographic templates, icons, images, stock photographs, clip art, videos, and (d) any related support or maintenance services provided by Datylon. Software and Hosted Services, together with related Documentation, are referred to as “Products”. The Products and their permitted use are further described in Datylon’s standard documentation (“Documentation”). Section 6 (Software Terms) applies specifically to Software, and Section 7 (Hosted Services Terms) applies specifically to Hosted Services, but unless otherwise specified, other provisions of this Agreement apply to all Products.

3. Account Registration. You may need to register for a Datylon account in order to place orders or access or receive any Products. Any registration information that you provide to us must be accurate, current, and complete. You must also update your information so that we may send notices, statements, and other information to you by email or through your account. You are responsible for all actions taken through your accounts. You represent that you are over the age of thirteen (13) years old. If you are over thirteen, but under the legal age of majority, your parent or legal guardian must consent to this Terms of Service and Privacy Policy and affirm that they accept this Agreement on behalf of, and bear all legal and financial responsibility and liability for the actions of, any child between the age of 13 and the legal age of majority, and expressly ratify and confirm any acts of any such child and all users of the account.

4. Orders.

4.1 Directly with Datylon. Datylon’s Product ordering documentation or purchase flow (“Order”) will specify your authorized scope of use for the Products, which may include: (a) number and type of Authorized Users (as defined below), (b) storage or capacity (for Hosted Services), (c) numbers of licenses, copies or instances (for Software), or (d) other restrictions or billable units (as applicable, the “Scope of Use”). The term “Order” also includes any applicable Product or Support and Maintenance renewal, or purchases you make to increase or upgrade your Scope of Use.

4.2 Reseller Orders. This Agreement applies whether you purchase our Products directly from Datylon or through Datylon “Experts” or other authorized resellers (each, a “Reseller”). If you purchase through a Reseller, your Scope of Use shall be as stated in the Order placed by the Reseller for you, and the Reseller is responsible for the accuracy of any such Order. Resellers are not authorized to make any promises or commitments on Datylon’s behalf, and we are not bound by any obligations to you other than what we specify in this Agreement.

5. Authorized Users. Only the specific individuals for whom you have paid the required fees and whom you designate through the applicable Product (“Authorized Users”) may access and use the Products. Some Products may allow you to designate different types of Authorized Users, in which case pricing and functionality may vary according to the type of Authorized User. Authorized Users may be your or your Affiliates’ employees, representatives, consultants, contractors, agents, or other third parties who are acting for your benefit or on your behalf. You may increase the number of Authorized Users permitted to access your instance of the Product by placing a new Order or, in some cases, directly through the Product. In all cases, you must pay the applicable fee for the increased number of Authorized Users. You are responsible for compliance with this Agreement by all Authorized Users. All use of Products by you and your Authorized Users must be within the Scope of Use and solely for the benefit of you or your Affiliates. “Affiliate” means an entity which, directly or indirectly, owns or controls, is owned or is controlled by, or is under common ownership or control with a party, where “control” means the power to direct the management or affairs of an entity, and “ownership” means the beneficial ownership of 50% (or, if the applicable jurisdiction does not allow majority ownership, the maximum amount permitted under such law) or more of the voting equity securities or other equivalent voting interests of the entity.

6. Software Terms.

6.1 Your License Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Datylon grants you a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, and non-transferable license to install and use the Software during the applicable License Term in accordance with this Agreement, your applicable Scope of Use, and the Documentation. The term of each Software license (“License Term”) will be specified in your Order. Your License Term will end upon any termination of this Agreement, even if it is identified as “perpetual” or if no expiration date is specified in your Order. The Software might require a license key in order to operate, which will be delivered as described in Section 10.2 (Delivery).

6.2 Number of Instances. Unless otherwise specified in your Order, for each Software license that you purchase, you may install one production instance of the Software on systems owned or operated by you (or your third-party service providers so long as you remain responsible for their compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement).

6.3 Third-Party Code. The Software includes code and libraries licensed to us by third parties, including open-source software. See Third Party Code in Datylon Products for additional provisions regarding our use of third-party code.

6.4 Activation. The Software may require you to take certain steps to activate your Software or validate your subscription. Failure to activate or register the Software, validate the subscription, or a determination by us of fraudulent or unauthorized use of the Software may result in reduced functionality, inoperability of the Software, or a termination or suspension of the subscription.

6.5 Updates. If the Software is an Update to a prior version of Datylon software (the “Prior Version”), then the Customer’s use of this Update is conditional upon its retention of the Prior Version. If the Customer wishes to use this Update in addition to the Prior Version, then the Customer may only do so on the same Computer on which it has installed and is using the Prior Version. Any obligations that Datylon may have to support Prior Versions during the License Term may end upon the availability of this Update. No other use of the Update is permitted.

6.6 Datylon Libraries. Our Products may include the datylon-render.js library. You may use datylon-render.js only to provide client-side rendering and data management capabilities as part of the software you develop, subject to the following: you may not incorporate datylon-render.js into any software that is similar to our Products. If you would like to do any of the foregoing, you will need to request a separate license from Datylon. 

6.7 Font Software. You acknowledge that the fonts you use are subject to copyright and/or trademark protection. Accordingly, you shall ensure that you own or duly license any fonts used in combination with the use of our Products. You are responsible and need to take special care when you publish or share your content publicly with others through our Hosted Services or through other means as sharing or copying restrictions might apply for the fonts you licensed. Datylon shall in no event be liable for any use by you of fonts in combination with our Products.

7. Hosted Services Terms.

7.1 Access to Hosted Services. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Datylon grants you a non-exclusive right to access and use the Hosted Services during the applicable Subscription Term (as defined below) in accordance with this Agreement, your applicable Scope of Use, and the Documentation. If Datylon offers client software (e.g., a desktop or mobile application) for any Hosted Service, you may use such software solely with the Hosted Service, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You acknowledge that our Hosted Services are on-line, subscription-based products and that we may make changes to the Hosted Services from time to time.

The Customer acknowledges that the Hosted Services will be performed in dedicated data centers of Amazon Web Services. Datylon does not give any hosting warranties and rejects all other explicit, inexplicit or legal warranties, including warranties in respect of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, adequate quality, title or non-infringement. Datylon shall in no event provide any warranty in respect of the Amazon Web Services hosting services.

The Customer and users give Datylon the permission to process all Your Data as contemplated by this. All Your Data collected by Datylon can be transferred and processed in any EU country where  Amazon Web Services or any of its contractors have facilities.

The maximum liability of Datylon for all claims in respect of the Hosted Services is limited to only direct damages and will in no event exceed the number of fees paid by the Customer to Datylon during the past six (6) months prior to the event which gave rise to the claim. These limitations are applicable regardless of the determined liability based on breach of contract, risk liability, breach of terms of the warranty, or any other legal ground and to the extent permitted by applicable law. 

7.2 Subscription Terms and Renewals. Hosted Services are provided on a subscription basis for a set term specified in your Order (“Subscription Term”). Except as otherwise specified in your Order, all subscriptions will automatically renew for periods equal to your initial Subscription Term (and you will be charged at the then-current rates) unless you cancel your subscription via the cancellation procedure offered on the platform. If you cancel, your subscription will terminate at the end of a then-current billing cycle, but you will not be entitled to any credits or refunds for amounts accrued or paid prior to such termination.

7.3 Credentials. You must ensure that all Authorized Users keep their user IDs and passwords for the Hosted Services strictly confidential and not share such information with any unauthorized person. User IDs are granted to individual, named persons and may not be shared. You are responsible for any and all actions taken using your accounts and passwords, and you agree to immediately notify Datylon of any unauthorized use of which you become aware.

7.4 Your Data. “Your Data” means any data, content, code, video, images, or other materials of any type that you upload, submit or otherwise transmit to or through Hosted Services. You will retain all rights, title,s and interest in and to Your Data in the form provided to Datylon. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, you hereby grant to Datylon a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right to (a) collect, use, copy, store, transmit, modify and create derivative works of Your Data, in each case solely to the extent necessary to provide the applicable Hosted Service to you and (b) for Hosted Services that enable you to share Your Data or interact with other people, to distribute and publicly perform and display Your Data as you (or your Authorized Users) direct or enable through the Hosted Service. Datylon may also access your account or instance in order to respond to your support requests.

7.5 Security. Datylon implements security procedures to help protect Your Data from security attacks. However, you understand that use of the Hosted Services necessarily involves the transmission of Your Data over networks that are not owned, operated, or controlled by us, and we are not responsible for any of Your Data lost, altered, intercepted, or stored across such networks. We cannot guarantee that our security procedures will be error-free, that transmissions of Your Data will always be secure, or that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat our security measures or those of our third-party service providers.

7.6 Storage Limits. There may be storage limits associated with a particular Hosted Service. These limits are described in the descriptions of the services on our websites or in the Documentation for the particular Hosted Service. Datylon reserves the right to charge for additional storage or overage fees at the rates specified on our website. We may impose new or may modify existing storage limits for the Hosted Services at any time at our discretion, with or without notice to you.

7.7 Responsibility for Your Data.

7.7.1 General. You must ensure that your use of Hosted Services and all of Your Data is at all times compliant with our Acceptable Use Policy and all applicable local, state, federal, and international laws and regulations (“Laws”). You represent and warrant that: (i) you have obtained all necessary rights, releases, and permissions to provide all Your Data to Datylon and to grant the rights granted to Datylon in this Agreement and (ii) Your Data and its transfer to and use by Datylon as authorized by you under this Agreement do not violate any Laws (including without limitation those relating to export control and electronic communications) or rights of any third party, including without limitation any intellectual property rights, rights of privacy, or rights of publicity, and any use, collection, and disclosure authorized herein is not inconsistent with the terms of any applicable privacy policies. Other than its security obligations under Section 7.5 (Security), Datylon assumes no responsibility or liability for Your Data, and you shall be solely responsible for Your Data and the consequences of using, disclosing, storing, or transmitting it. We recommend that you continue to back up Your Data regularly.

7.7.2 Sensitive Data. You will not submit to the Hosted Services (or use the Hosted Services to collect): (i) any personally identifiable information, except as necessary for the establishment of your Datylon account; (ii) any patient, medical, or other protected health information regulated by HIPAA or any similar federal or state laws, rules or regulations; or (iii) any other information subject to regulation or protection under specific laws such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (or related rules or regulations) ((i) through (iii), collectively, “Sensitive Data”). You also acknowledge that Datylon is not acting as your Business Associate or subcontractor (as such terms are defined and used in HIPAA) and that the Hosted Services are not HIPAA compliant. “HIPAA” means the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, as amended and supplemented. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, Datylon has no liability under this Agreement for Sensitive Data.

7.7.3 Indemnity for Your Data. You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Datylon from and against any loss, cost, liability, or damage, including attorneys’ fees, for which Datylon becomes liable arising from or relating to any claim relating to Your Data, including but not limited to any claim brought by a third party alleging that Your Data, or your use of the Hosted Services in breach of this Agreement, infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of a third party or violates applicable law. This indemnification obligation is subject to your receiving (i) prompt written notice of such claim (but in any event notice with sufficient time for you to respond without prejudice); (ii) the exclusive right to control and direct the investigation, defense, or settlement of such claim; and (iii) all reasonable necessary cooperation of Datylon at your expense.

7.7.4 Sharing Your Data. Some Hosted Services may provide features that allow you to Share Your Data with other users or to make it public. “Share” means to email, post, transmit, upload, or otherwise make available (whether to us or other users) through your use of the Hosted Services. Other users may use, copy, modify, or re-share Your Data in many ways. Please consider carefully what you choose to share or make public as you are entirely responsible for any of Your Data that you share. We do not monitor or control what others do with Your Data. You are responsible for determining the limitations that are placed on Your Data and for applying the appropriate level of access to Your Data. If you do not choose the access level to apply to Your Data, the system may default to its most permissive setting. It’s your responsibility to let other users know how Your Data may be shared and adjust the setting related to accessing or sharing Your Data.

7.7.5 Making comments on data. The Hosted Services may allow you and others to comment on data. Comments are not anonymous and may be viewed by other users. Your comments may be deleted by you, other users, or us.

7.8 Removals and Suspension. Datylon has no obligation to monitor any content uploaded to the Hosted Services. Nonetheless, if we deem such action necessary based on your violation of this Agreement or in response to takedown requests that we receive following our guidelines for Reporting Copyright and Trademark Violations, we may (1) remove Your Data from the Hosted Services or (2) suspend your access to the Hosted Services. We will generally alert you when we take such action and give you a reasonable opportunity to cure your breach, but if we determine that your actions endanger the operation of the Hosted Service or other users, we may suspend your access immediately without notice. You will continue to be charged for the Hosted Service during any suspension period. We have no liability to you for removing or deleting Your Data from or suspending your access to any Hosted Services as described in this section.

7.9 Deletion at End of Subscription Term. We may remove or delete Your Data within a reasonable period of time after the termination of your Subscription Term.

7.10 Viewing data from third parties. We may host data from our users. If you access our Hosted Services you may come across content, data, video, images, or other materials that you find offensive or upsetting. Your sole remedy is to simply stop viewing these materials. If available, you may also click on the ‘Report’ button to report the content to us.

8. Sample Files. Unless the documentation or specific license associated with the Sample Files state otherwise, you may use, display, modify, reproduce, and distribute any of the Sample Files. However, you may not distribute the Sample Files on a stand-alone basis (i.e., in circumstances in which the Sample Files constitute the primary value of the product being distributed), and you must not claim any trademark rights in the Sample Files or derivative works of the Sample Files.

9. Support and Maintenance. Datylon makes available support information on the Datylon website. You can report problems via getsupport@datylon.com or via the chat module on the Datylon website. Datylon will provide the best efforts to answer support questions. Upon request, Datylon offers bespoke and separately sold enterprise support and maintenance services for the Products during the period for which you have paid the applicable fee. Datylon may update its support policy from time to time to reflect process improvements or changing practices. Support and Maintenance for Software includes access to New Releases, if and when available. You may use any New Releases that we provide to you during a valid support term in the same way that you use Software, and New Releases are included in the definition of Software in that case. “New Releases” are bug fixes, patches, major or minor releases, or any other changes, enhancements, or modifications to the Software that we make generally commercially available.

10. Returns and Financial Terms.

10.1 Free Trial and Return Policy. We offer customers a 14-day free trial of some of our Products. You will not need to provide credit card details upon starting a free trial. After completion of the free trial, you will have the option to purchase the Datylon Products. If you decide to convert your account, your access or use of the Products will continue without any loss of data. Once you purchase a Product we will not accept returns. You understand that Datylon may change this practice in the future in accordance with Section 26 (Changes to this Agreement).

10.2 Delivery. We will deliver the applicable license keys (in the case of Software) or login instructions (in the case of Hosted Services) to the email addresses specified in your Order when we have received payment of the applicable fees. All deliveries under this Agreement will be electronic. For the avoidance of doubt, you are responsible for the installation of any Software, and you acknowledge that Datylon has no further delivery obligation with respect to the Software after delivery of the license keys.

10.3 Payment. You agree to pay all fees in accordance with each Order. Unless otherwise specified in your Order, you will pay all amounts in euros within 30 days from the time you place your Order. If a Customer fails to pay any sums when due, Datylon shall be entitled to a late payment interest equal to the legal interest rate of the Act of 2 August 2002 on late payment interests in commercial transactions, which interest shall be compounded daily as of the due date until receipt of full payment by Datylon. Other than as expressly set forth in Section 10.1 (Return Policy) and Section 20 (IP Indemnification by Datylon), all amounts are non-refundable, non-cancelable, and non-creditable. In making payments, you acknowledge that you are not relying on the future availability of any Products beyond the current License Term or Subscription Term or any Product upgrades or feature enhancements. If you add Authorized Users during your License Term or Subscription Term, we will charge you for the increased number of Authorized Users pursuant to the then-currently applicable rates in your next billing cycle. You agree that we may bill your credit card for renewals, additional users, and unpaid fees, as applicable. Any failure to pay fees on the due date will result in the immediate termination of the licenses granted under this Agreement. If you purchase any Products through a Reseller, you owe payment to the Reseller as agreed between you and the Reseller, but you acknowledge that we may terminate your rights to use Products if we do not receive our corresponding payment from the Reseller.

10.4 Taxes. Your payments under this Agreement exclude any taxes or duties payable in respect of the Products in the jurisdiction where the payment is either made or received. To the extent that any such taxes or duties are payable by Datylon, you must pay to Datylon the amount of such taxes or duties in addition to any fees owed under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may have obtained an exemption from relevant taxes or duties as of the time such taxes or duties are levied or assessed. In that case, you will have the right to provide to Datylon any such exemption information, and Datylon will use reasonable efforts to provide such invoicing documents as may enable you to obtain a refund or credit for the amount so paid from any relevant revenue authority if such a refund or credit is available.

10.5 Other Fees. You must pay any applicable taxes, and any applicable third-party fees (including, for example, telephone toll charges, mobile carrier fees, ISP charges, data plan charges, credit card fees, or foreign exchange fees). We are not responsible for these fees. We may take steps to collect the fees you owe us. You are responsible for all related collection costs and expenses.

11. No-Charge Products. We may offer certain Products to you at no charge, including free accounts, trial use, and access to Beta Versions as defined below (“No-Charge Products”). Your use of No-Charge Products is subject to any additional terms that we specify and is only permitted for the period designated by us. You may not use No-Charge Products for competitive analysis or similar purposes. We may terminate your right to use No-Charge Products at any time and for any reason in our sole discretion, without liability to you. You understand that any pre-release and beta products we make available (“Beta Versions”) are still under development, may be inoperable or incomplete, and are likely to contain more errors and bugs than generally available Products. We make no promises that any Beta Versions will ever be made generally available. In some circumstances, we may charge a fee in order to allow you to access Beta Versions, but the Beta Versions will still remain subject to this Section 11 (No-Charge Products). All information regarding the characteristics, features, or performance of Beta Versions constitutes Datylon’s Confidential Information. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all obligations or liabilities with respect to No-Charge Products, including any Support and Maintenance, warranty, and indemnity obligations.

12. Restrictions. Except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement, you will not: (a) rent, lease, reproduce, modify, adapt, create derivative works of, distribute, sell, sublicense, transfer, or provide access to the Products to a third party, (b) use the Products for the benefit of any third party, (c) incorporate any Products into a product or service you provide to a third party, (d) interfere with any license key mechanism in the Products or otherwise circumvent mechanisms in the Products intended to limit your use, (e) reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, translate, or otherwise seek to obtain or derive the source code, underlying ideas, algorithms, file formats or non-public APIs to any Products, except as permitted by law, (f) remove or obscure any proprietary or other notices contained in any Product, (g) publicly disseminate information regarding the performance of the Products, or (h) unbundle the component parts of the Software for use on different computers or devices.

13. Your Development of Add-Ons.

13.1 License to Developer Guides. From time to time, Datylon may publish SDKs or APIs and associated guidelines (“Developer Guides”) to allow you to develop plugins, extensions, add-ons, or other software products or services that interoperate or are integrated with the Products (“Add-Ons”). You may distribute your Add-Ons to third parties, but only for those Products permitted by Datylon, and only in accordance with the Developer Guides.

13.2 Conditions to Development of Add-Ons. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Datylon has no support, warranty, indemnification, or other obligation or liability with respect to your Add-Ons or their combination, interaction, or use with the Products. You shall indemnify, defend and hold us harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of or in connection with any claim brought against us by a third party relating to your Add-Ons (including but not limited to any representations or warranties you make about your Add-Ons) or your breach of this Section.

13.3 Sample Application Code. Customer may modify the source code form of those portions of the Software that are expressly identified as sample code, sample application code, code snippets, javascript class files, or sample components (each “Sample Application Code”) in the accompanying Documentation solely for the purposes of designing, developing, and testing websites, hosted services, and applications using Datylon Products. Customer is permitted to copy and distribute the Sample Application Code (modified or unmodified) only if all of the following conditions are met: (a) Customer distributes only the compiled object code versions of the Sample Application Code with its application or website; and (b) Customer does not use the Datylon name, logos, icons, or other Datylon trademarks to market its application.

14. License Certifications and Audits. At our request, you agree to provide a signed certification that you are using all Products pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including the Scope of Use. You agree to allow us, or our authorized agent, to audit your use of the Products. We will provide you with at least 10 days advance notice prior to the audit, and the audit will be conducted during regular business hours. We will bear all out-of-pocket costs that we incur for the audit unless the audit reveals that you have exceeded the Scope of Use. You will provide reasonable assistance, cooperation, and access to relevant information in the course of any audit at your own cost. If you exceed your Scope of Use, we may invoice you for any past or ongoing excessive use, and you will pay the invoice promptly after receipt. This remedy is without prejudice to any other remedies available to Datylon at law or equity or under this Agreement. To the extent we are obligated to do so, we may share audit results with certain of our third-party licensors or assign the audit rights specified in this Section to such licensors.

15. Ownership and Feedback. Products are made available on a limited license or access basis, and no ownership right is conveyed to you, irrespective of the use of terms such as “purchase” or “sale”. Datylon and its licensors have and retain all rights, titles, and interests, including all intellectual property rights, in and to the Products (including all No-Charge Products), their “look and feel”, any and all related or underlying technology, and any modifications or derivative works of the foregoing created by or for Datylon, including without limitation as they may incorporate Feedback (“Datylon Technology”). From time to time, you may choose to submit comments, information, questions, data, ideas, descriptions of processes, or other information to Datylon, including sharing Your Modifications or in the course of receiving Support and Maintenance (“Feedback”). Datylon may in connection with any of its products or services freely use, copy, disclose, license, distribute and exploit any Feedback in any manner without any obligation, royalty, or restriction based on intellectual property rights or otherwise. No Feedback will be considered your Confidential Information, and nothing in this Agreement limits Datylon's right to independently use, develop, evaluate, or market products, whether incorporating Feedback or otherwise.

16. Confidentiality. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each party agrees that all code, inventions, know-how, business, technical and financial information disclosed to such party (“Receiving Party”) by 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. Any Datylon Technology and any performance information relating to the Products shall be deemed Confidential Information of Datylon 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. The Receiving Party's nondisclosure obligation shall not apply to information which the Receiving Party can document: (i) was rightfully in its possession or known to it prior to receipt of the Confidential Information; (ii) is or has become public knowledge through no fault of the Receiving Party; (iii) is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; or (iv) is independently developed by employees of the Receiving Party who had no access to such information. The Receiving Party may also disclose Confidential Information if so required 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 the avoidance of doubt, this Section shall not operate as a separate warranty with respect to the operation of any Product.

17. Term and Termination. This Agreement is in effect for as long as you have a valid License Term or Subscription Term (the “Term”), unless sooner terminated as permitted in this Agreement. Either party may terminate this Agreement before the expiration of the Term if the other party materially breaches any of the terms of this Agreement and does not cure the breach within thirty (30) days after written notice of the breach. Either party may also terminate the Agreement before the expiration of the Term if the other party ceases to operate, declares bankruptcy, or becomes insolvent or otherwise unable to meet its financial obligations. You may terminate this Agreement at any time with notice to Datylon, but you will not be entitled to any credits or refunds as a result of convenience termination for prepaid but unused Software, Hosted Services subscriptions, or Support and Maintenance. Except where an exclusive remedy may be specified in this Agreement, the exercise by either party of any remedy, including termination, will be without prejudice to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement, by law, or otherwise. Once the Agreement terminates, you (and your Authorized Users) will no longer have any right to use or access any Products, or any information or materials that we make available to you under this Agreement, including Datylon Confidential Information. You are required to delete any of the foregoing from your systems as applicable (including any third-party systems operated on your behalf) and provide written certification to us that you have done so at our request. The following provisions will survive any termination or restoration of this Agreement: Sections 7.7.3 (Indemnity for Your Data), 10.3 (Payment), 10.4 (Taxes), 11 (No-Charge Products) (disclaimers and use restrictions only), 12 (Restrictions), 13.2 (Conditions to Development of Add-Ons), 14 (License Certifications and Audits), 15 (Ownership and Feedback), 16 (Confidentiality), 17 (Term and Termination), 18.2 (Warranty Disclaimer), 19 (Limitation of Liability), 21 (Third Party Vendor Products), 24 (Governing Law), and 26 (General Provisions).

18. Warranty and Disclaimer.

18.1 Due Authority. Each party represents and warrants that it has the legal power and authority to enter into this Agreement, and that, if you are an entity, this Agreement and each Order is entered into by an employee or agent of such party with all necessary authority to bind such party to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

18.2 WARRANTY DISCLAIMER. ALL PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, AND DATYLON AND ITS SUPPLIERS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, FUNCTIONALITY, OR MERCHANTABILITY, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. YOU MAY HAVE OTHER STATUTORY RIGHTS, BUT THE DURATION OF STATUTORILY REQUIRED WARRANTIES, IF ANY, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE SHORTEST PERIOD PERMITTED BY LAW. DATYLON SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DELAYS, INTERRUPTIONS, SERVICE FAILURES, AND OTHER PROBLEMS INHERENT IN THE USE OF THE INTERNET AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR OTHER SYSTEMS OUTSIDE THE REASONABLE CONTROL OF DATYLON. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER DATYLON NOR ANY OF ITS THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE AS TO THE RELIABILITY, TIMELINESS, QUALITY, SUITABILITY, TRUTH, AVAILABILITY, ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY PRODUCTS OR ANY CONTENT THEREIN OR GENERATED THEREWITH, OR THAT: (A) THE USE OF ANY PRODUCTS WILL BE SECURE, TIMELY, UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE; (B) THE PRODUCTS WILL OPERATE IN COMBINATION WITH ANY OTHER HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, SYSTEM, OR DATA; (C) THE PRODUCTS (OR ANY PRODUCTS, SERVICES, INFORMATION, OR OTHER MATERIAL PURCHASED OR OBTAINED BY YOU THROUGH THE PRODUCTS) WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR EXPECTATIONS); (D) ANY STORED DATA WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE OR THAT ANY STORED DATA WILL NOT BE LOST OR CORRUPTED; (E) ERRORS OR DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED; (F) THE PRODUCTS (OR ANY SERVER(S) THAT MAKE A HOSTED SERVICE AVAILABLE) ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS; OR (G) ANY RENDERED CHARTS, GRAPHS, MAPS OR OTHER VISUALS ACCURATELY OR RELIABLY REPRESENT THE DATA USED AS A SOURCE TO RENDER THESE VISUAL ELEMENTS.

19. Limitation of Liability. DATYLON (NOR ITS SUPPLIERS) SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, LOST OR INACCURATE DATA, FAILURE OF SECURITY MECHANISMS, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, COSTS OF DELAY, OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, RELIANCE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS), REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE. DATYLON’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO THE CUSTOMER SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU TO US FOR PRODUCTS AND SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE IN THE 12 MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE CLAIM. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING ELSE IN THIS AGREEMENT, OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU IN RESPECT OF NO-CHARGE PRODUCTS SHALL BE 20 EUROS. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NO SUPPLIERS OF ANY THIRD-PARTY COMPONENTS INCLUDED IN THE PRODUCTS WILL BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER. THIRD-PARTY MATERIAL SHALL BE EXCLUSIVELY GOVERNED BY THE APPLICABLE THIRD-PARTY TERMS AND CONDITIONS. The parties agree that the limitations specified in this Section 19 (Limitation of Liability) will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in this Agreement is found to have failed in its essential purpose.

20. IP Indemnification by Datylon. We will defend you against any claim brought against you by a third party alleging that a Product, when used as authorized under this Agreement, infringes a United States, Canadian or European Union patent or registered copyright (a “Claim”), and we will indemnify you and hold you harmless against any damages and costs finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed to a settlement by Datylon (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of a Claim, provided that we have received from you: (a) prompt written notice of the claim (but in any event notice in sufficient time for us to respond without prejudice); (b) reasonable assistance in the defense and investigation of the claim, including providing us a copy of the claim and all relevant evidence in your possession, custody or control; and (c) the exclusive right to control and direct the investigation, defense, and settlement (if applicable) of the claim. If your use of a Product is (or in our opinion is likely to be) enjoined, if required by the settlement, or if we determine such actions are reasonably necessary to avoid material liability, we may, at our option and in our discretion: (i) procure a license for your continued use of the Product in accordance with this Agreement; (ii) substitute a substantially functionally similar Product; or (iii) terminate your right to continue using the Product and refund, in the case of Software, the license fee paid by you as reduced to reflect a three-year straight-line depreciation from the license purchase date, and in the case of a Hosted Service, any prepaid amounts for the terminated portion of the Subscription Term. Datylon’s indemnification obligations above do not apply: (1) if the total aggregate fees received by Datylon with respect to your license to Software or subscription to Hosted Services in the 12 month period immediately preceding the claim is less than 50.000 Euros; (2) if the Product is modified by any party other than Datylon, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is caused by such modification; (3) if the Product is used in combination with any non-Datylon product, software or equipment, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is caused by such combination; (4) to unauthorized use of Products; (5) to any Claim arising as a result of (y) Your Data (or circumstances covered by your indemnification obligations in Section 7.7.3 (Indemnity for Your Data)) or (z) any third-party deliverables or components contained with the Products; (6) to any unsupported release of the Software; or (7) if you settle or make any admissions with respect to a claim without Datylon’s prior written consent. THIS SECTION 20 (IP INDEMNIFICATION BY DATYLON) STATES OUR SOLE LIABILITY AND YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PRODUCT OR OTHER ITEMS PROVIDED BY DATYLON UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

21. Third Party Vendor Products. Datylon or third parties may from time to time make available to you third-party products or services, including but not limited to add-ons and plugins as well as implementation, customization, training, and other consulting services. If you procure any of these third-party products or services, you do so under a separate agreement (and exchange of data) solely between you and the third-party vendor. Datylon does not warrant or support non-Datylon products or services, whether or not they are designated by Datylon as “verified” or otherwise, and disclaims all liability for such products or services. If you install or enable any third-party products or services for use with Datylon products, you acknowledge that Datylon may allow the vendors of those products and services to access Your Data as required for the interoperation and support of such add-ons with the Datylon products. Datylon shall not be responsible for any disclosure, modification, or deletion of Your Data resulting from any such access by third-party add-on vendors.

22. Publicity Rights. We may identify you as a Datylon customer in our promotional materials. You may request that we stop doing so by submitting an email to sales@Datylon.com at any time. Please note that it may take us up to 30 days to process your request.

23. Improving Our Products. We are always striving to improve our Products. In order to do so, we need to measure, analyze, and aggregate how users interact with our Products, such as usage patterns and characteristics of our user base. We collect and use analytics data regarding the use of our Products as described in our Privacy Policy - Product.

24. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the applicable laws of Belgium and the parties hereto submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of Antwerp, division Antwerp.

25. Changes to this Agreement. We may update or modify this Agreement from time to time, including any referenced policies and other documents. If a revision meaningfully reduces your rights, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you (by, for example, sending an email to the billing or technical contact you designate in the applicable Order, posting on our blog, through your Datylon account, or in the Product itself). If we modify the Agreement during your License Term or Subscription Term, the modified version will be effective upon your next renewal of a License Term, Support and Maintenance term, or Subscription Term, as applicable. In this case, if you object to the updated Agreement, as your exclusive remedy, you may choose not to renew, including canceling any terms set to auto-renew. With respect to No-Charge Products, accepting the updated Agreement is required for you to continue using the No-Charge Products. You may be required to click through the updated Agreement to show your acceptance. If you do not agree to the updated Agreement after it becomes effective, you will no longer have a right to use No-Charge Products. For the avoidance of doubt, any Order is subject to the version of the Agreement in effect at the time of the Order.

26. General Provisions. Any notice under this Agreement must be given in writing. We may provide notice to you via email or through your account. Our notices to you will be deemed given upon the first business day after we send it. You may provide notice to us by post to Datylon BV, Lange Gasthuisstraat 29-31, box 6, 2000 Antwerp, Belgium. Your notices to us will be deemed given upon our receipt. Neither party shall be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement (except for a failure to pay fees) if the delay or failure is due to unforeseen events which are beyond the reasonable control of such parties, such as a strike, blockade, war, act of terrorism, riot, natural disaster, failure or diminishment of power or telecommunications or data networks or services, or refusal of a license by a government agency. You may not assign this Agreement without our prior written consent. We will not unreasonably withhold our consent if the assignee agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. We may assign our rights and obligations under this Agreement (in whole or in part) without your consent. The Products are commercial computer software. This Agreement is the entire agreement between you and Datylon relating to the Products and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals, and representations with respect to the Products or any other subject matter covered by this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be void, invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, the other provisions shall continue in full force and effect. This Agreement may not be modified or amended by you without our written agreement (which may be withheld at our complete discretion without any requirement to provide any explanation). As used herein, “including” (and its variants) means “including without limitation” (and its variants). No failure or delay by the injured party to this Agreement in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder at law or equity. The parties are independent contractors. This Agreement shall not be construed as constituting either party as a partner of the other or to create any other form of legal association that would give on party the express or implied right, power, or authority to create any duty or obligation of the other party.
