r. “Software License Subscription” shall mean Software licensed and paid for on a
subscription basis.
s. “Standard Maintenance and Support” as used herein shall refer to:

a. License Grant. Licenses shall be sold and granted as either a Perpetual Software License or a Software License Subscription as described on the Sales Quote. Subject to, (i) Licensee’s compliance with the Terms of Purchase and this EULA, (ii) payment in full of the applicable License Fees, and (iii) the license constraints applicable to the License Type purchased, Pilot grants to Licensee, for the period of the License Term purchased, a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-
transferable license for internal use, without the right to sublicense, to (A) use, install, and operate, within the authorized scope of the License Type purchased for the Designated System, a single copy of, and/or manage access to, the purchased Software or Features on the Designated System, and within the purchased capacity of the fully paid Per TiB license(s), or of the total amount of data that the Designated System can or has been enabled to hold and/or process or that may be under authorized management by the licensed Software, as specified by Pilot in the Terms of Purchase applicable to Licensee’s purchase of the Software License, and
(B) make a reasonable number of copies of the Documentation for Licensee’s internal use, and use the Documentation solely in support of Licensee’s internal authorized use of the Software.
b. By accessing and commencing use of the Software under these terms and the Terms of Purchase, Licensee agrees to obtain additional Licenses for the Software before it exceeds, or is likely to exceed, or if Pilot has notified Licensee that it exceeds or will soon exceed, any of the scope, capacity, time and use limitations applicable to Licensee’s License Grant, and failure to do so is a violation of the terms of the License. Should Licensee exceed any such License limitations without payment therefor Licensee shall be out of compliance and shall have a 30-day grace period to purchase the additional or renewal license in order to return to or remain in compliance. Failure to do so may result in reduced functionality of the Software or its Features, or the withholding of delivery of license keys or the provisioning of Maintenance and Support. In addition, Pilot shall have the right to accelerate the due date of all remaining payments and Licensee will owe the entire outstanding balance as soon as Licensee receives written notice from Pilot that payment is overdue.
c. Exclusions. The License does not include the right to sublicense or transfer the Licensee’s user rights in the Software or the Documentation to any third party by means of sale, lease, loan, rent, license or otherwise. Except if otherwise explicitly agreed in writing by Pilot, Licensee is not entitled to resell or distribute the Software or the Documentation. Licensee expressly acknowledges that operation of the Software requires that Licensee has or obtains, at Licensee’s sole cost and expense, appropriate hardware and third-party software such as (but not limited to) operating systems. This EULA does not grant any license in or to any other software than the Software, and Licensee is responsible for procuring all such necessary third- party software or other hardware or equipment.
d. Open Source. Licensee acknowledges that Open Source Software is licensed
separately pursuant to the applicable Open Source License. Licensee’s use of any Open Source Software shall be subject to and Licensee agrees to comply with the applicable restrictions and other terms and conditions of the applicable Open Source License.
e. Licensee Feedback. Licensee is encouraged to communicate to Pilot any useful or relevant information that may complement or improve the Software or may be
useful to Pilot’s activities, such as technical improvements to the Software, marketing opportunities or existence of competing solutions. To the extent that Licensee provides such information to Pilot, Pilot will be entitled to freely use and exploit such information (even after expiration or termination of the License) for whatever reason or purpose and in whatever form or manner, without reference to its source or other obligation to Licensee.
f. US Government Rights.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Licensee will not export, make accessible, or transfer the Software, or any direct product thereof, to any destination, person, national or entity blocked, denied, designated, restricted or prohibited by the export control laws and regulations. Licensee expressly acknowledges and agrees that only Licensee, and not Pilot, is responsible for verifying whether the applicable laws and regulations of the country where Licensee intends to install and use the Software and Documentation, allows the installation and/or use of the Software and Documentation, and for obtaining all necessary permits, licenses and authorizations required to be able to so install and use the Software and Documentation.
h. License Compliance Monitoring and Reporting. Licensee will monitor and track access to and use of the Software and shall have sole responsibility to ensure Licensee’s compliance with this EULA and all laws and regulations which apply to the Software, its installation, use, payment for use, and accounting thereof, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Licensee hereby agrees that Pilot’s compliance with such laws requires it to maintain controls over accurate financial reporting of Software usage and payment therefor. Accordingly, Licensee shall input a product key when prompted to do so to activate the Software, and upon request Licensee hereby agrees to provide to Pilot, or provide Pilot access to, relevant payments and usage information, documents, Log-files, etc., on at least a quarterly basis (including through uploads to Pilot’s licensing website and license management tool) as reasonably necessary to permit Pilot to monitor Software access and usage and to allow it to have a reasonable assurance that it is and remains in compliance with the accuracy and integrity requirements for financial
reports relating to Licensee’s acquisition, payment and use of the Software License purchased from Pilot. Licensee will not use the Licensed Software or the license management tool in a manner that circumvents or interferes with the proper operation of the Software or license management tool, or any other technological measure that controls, regulates, monitors or reports access to and usage of the Software.
i. Standard Maintenance and Support.

The License Fees for some License Types include the Standard Maintenance and Support and, subject to full payment thereof, for such Licenses Standard Maintenance and Support is provided for the duration of the purchased License Term applicable to the Licensed Software and shall co-terminate with the expiration or termination of such License Term. Support for License Types that do not include Standard Maintenance and Support in the License Fee shall be provided for the duration of the separately purchased support contract. Standard Maintenance and Support services that remain unused at the end of, or upon termination of, the License Term will be forfeited and Licensee shall not be entitled to any refund for unused portions.
a. Title to Software. The Software, Open Source Software and Documentation are licensed, not sold. All right, title, and interest in and to the Software, Open Source Software and Documentation and in any ideas, know-how, and programs which may be developed by Pilot in the course of providing support and maintenance, including any enhancements or modifications and all intellectual property rights embodied therein, will at all times remain the property of Pilot or its licensors.

All derivative works, programs or copies developed by or for Licensee whether in compliance with, or in violation of, this EULA, including translations, compilations, partial copies and up-dates, are owned by Pilot ab initio, or otherwise the proprietary rights thereto shall hereby be deemed automatically assigned to Pilot as of the moment of their creation.
d. Licensee Responsibility for Data Protection. Licensee has sole responsibility for use of Software and any information entered, used, or stored thereon, including responsibility for protection of its data against modification, destruction, or disclosure, and for the accuracy and integrity of the data. Pilot assumes no responsibility for Licensee’s negligence or failure to protect its data. Licensee agrees to follow the operation procedures published by Pilot including, but not limited to, procedures for routine maintenance of the Software. Licensee shall implement, and is solely responsible for implementing, procedures for the back-up and protection of data and other information in the event of errors or malfunctions of the Software or Designated Systems on which the Software is used. Licensee shall properly train its staff in the use and application of the Software and of any Designated Systems on which the Software is used or installed.
e. Restrictions on Use with Multiple Devices. Unless Pilot explicitly grants Licensee further licenses, any registration codes Pilot may send Licensee (whether by electronic or physical means, and whether together with or separately from the Software) may be installed and used on one computer only. Licensee may transfer a license and registration from one computer to another by clearing the registration details and removing the software from the old computer before installing it on the new one. If Licensee is an individual and is the main user of more than one computer Licensee may copy the Software and install a single user registration code onto no more than two computers providing that: (i) either they are at different physical sites or one is a fixed desktop computer and the other is a portable laptop computer, (ii) Licensee is the main user of both computers, and (iii) Licensee ensures that instances of the Software are never simultaneously running on both machines and that the Software is only used by Licensee.
f. Registration Codes or Keys. Any registration keys or other codes that Pilot supplies to Licensee for use with the Software (whether for evaluation purposes or not) are confidential and personal to Licensee. Any computer files created by the Software and containing details of Licensee’s registration key are confidential and may not be copied or revealed to anyone else. Licensee agrees to keep all such codes confidential and not make copies or permit their use other than under the conditions permitted by this Agreement. If Licensee intentionally reveals or allows these codes to be used by anyone who is not entitled to use them then Licensee will be liable for any and all losses that Pilot incurs as a result.
a. Commencement and Duration. The term of this EULA commences on the earlier of
(i) the date of shipment of the Software to the Licensee,(ii) the date on which the Software is delivered to Licensee or otherwise made available to Licensee for access or download, or (iii) if the Software is provided to Licensee through a reseller or a distributor, the date that Pilot provides the Software (or access to the Software) to such reseller or distributor on behalf of Licensee, and will remain effective through the purchased License Term unless and until earlier terminated by Pilot or not renewed by Licensee in accordance with the terms of this EULA. A License purchased as a Software License Subscription, upon expiration of the initial License Term or renewal term thereof, and without written notice of Licensee’s intent not to renew at least sixty (60) days prior to expiration of the then current term, will automatically renew for another consecutive term of twelve (12) months (or of the same duration as the License Term originally purchased) and Pilot will issue to Licensee a Sales Quote and/or invoice for the applicable renewal subscription License Fee due, which shall be based upon a true-up/reconciliation of the licensed capacity, scope and usage of the Software with the actual capacity and usage of the Software as of the date of the renewal, in order for Licensee to remain in compliance.
b. Termination for Cause. Without prejudice to either party’s other rights accorded to it by this EULA or by law, Pilot may terminate this EULA with immediate effect by written notice to Licensee if Licensee is in non-compliance herewith or breaches this EULA in any way, and does not in good faith cure, or initiate a cure of, such breach within thirty (30) after receipt of notice of such breach. Licensee’s failure to make full payment for the Software License purchased and/or for use of the Software in excess of the scope of the paid-for License shall constitute breach hereof.
c. Termination or Non-Renewal of Software License. Licensee shall not be entitled to a refund of any pre- paid License Fees upon termination or non-renewal of a License for any reason and regardless of the effective date of termination or non-renewal. In addition, Pilot shall be entitled to charge in arrears, and receive payment of, License Fees for any usage or continued usage of the Software in excess of the paid-for License scope or capacity and/or beyond the period of the paid-for License Term in the event such usage extends beyond the effective date of termination or non-renewal of the License.

iv. Pilot shall have no further obligation to support Software functionality (co-termination of support contract).
v. Licensee shall have no further access to Software Updates.
vi. Upon request by Pilot, Licensee shall certify, within thirty (30) days after the effective date of termination that access has been terminated and/or that Licensee has permanently deleted, destroyed, or, at Pilot’s option, has returned to Pilot, the Software and the Documentation and all copies thereof.
a. THE LICENSEE HAS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ADEQUATE PROTECTION AND BACK- UP OF ITS DATA USED IN CONNECTION WITH SOFTWARE AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE. IN NO EVENT SHALL QUANTUM BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY FOR LOST PROFITS AND/OR ANY OTHER INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, (I) LOSS OF REVENUE, BUSINESS OR USE; (II) LOSS OF ANTICIPATED SAVINGS; (III) LOSS OF ACTUAL OR ANTICIPATED BUSINESS AND/OR GOODS; (IV) LOSS OF GOODWILL; (V) LOSS AND/OR CORRUPTION OF DATA AND/OR OTHER INFORMATION, (VI) LOSS AS A RESULT OF THIRD PARTY CLAIMS; AND/OR (VII) THE COST OF PROCURING REPLACEMENT GOODS AND/OR SERVICES. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, THE TYPES OF LOSS AND/OR DAMAGE SPECIFIED IN (I) THROUGH
(VII) SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE DIRECT LOSSES FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS EULA. THE FOREGOING LIMITATION WILL APPLY EVEN IF QUANTUM HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR IF SUCH DAMAGES ARE FORESEEABLE. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, QUANTUM’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER FOR CLAIMS ARISING FROM THE SOFTWARE, THE DOCUMENTATION OR THIS EULA, WHETHER FOR BREACH, INFRINGEMENT, IN TORT, INDEMNIFICATION OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE LICENSE FEES ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY QUANTUM HEREUNDER FOR CUSTOMER’S USE OF THE SOFTWARE. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, QUANTUM SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROBLEMS IN THE SOFTWARE, DOCUMENTATION OR OTHER DELIVERABLES CAUSED BY MISUSE OR THE MALFUNCTION OF THE NETWORK OR ANY THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE, HARDWARE OR EQUIPMENT OR ANY OTHER CAUSE NOT ATTRIBUTABLE TO QUANTUM.
b. ALL SOFTWARE AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS-IS”, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND QUANTUM FURTHER DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF NONINFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. NEITHER QUANTUM NOR THE LICENSORS OF OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR
ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF DATA AND LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE SOFTWARE OR OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
a. Non-Waiver. The failure by Pilot at any time to enforce any of the provisions of this EULA or any right or remedy available hereunder or at law or in equity, or to exercise any option herein provided, shall not constitute a waiver of such provision, right, remedy or option or in any way affect the validity of this EULA. The waiver of any default by Pilot shall not be deemed a continuing waiver but shall apply solely to the instance to which such waiver is directed.
b. Verification and Audit. Upon ten (10) days’ notice to Licensee, Pilot shall have the right to (or to have a third party) inspect and audit Licensee’s books, records and systems to confirm Licensee’s compliance with the use, scope and capacity of the License it purchased and the provisions of this EULA. Licensee agrees to fully cooperate in good faith with any such inspection and audit and shall provide all access to its books, records and systems as reasonably required for Pilot to
confirm Licensee’s compliance. In the event that the audit reveals unauthorized use of the Software, or use beyond the purchased and paid for License Term or scope of usage limitations and restrictions applicable to the Software, then, without prejudice to Pilot’s other rights (including termination of the License), Licensee shall promptly pay the License Fees to cover all unauthorized, unlicensed and/or unpaid use of the Software disclosed by the audit starting from the date such use was presumed to have begun. A reinstatement fee of fifty percent (50%) of the License Fees payable for such unlicensed use may apply. Licensee agrees that all unlicensed use of the Software shall be presumed to have started on the first day on which the Software was made available to Licensee (through shipment, delivery or otherwise), unless Licensee proves otherwise to the satisfaction of Pilot. If the audit determines that Licensee underpaid the License Fees by more than five
percent (5%), Licensee shall pay Pilot’s reasonable costs and expenses for the audit (including transportation, travel, and if applicable the cost of the third-party auditor). Such payments shall be in addition to and without limitation of any rights or remedies which Pilot may have hereunder, at law, or in equity, arising out of or related to any other breach by Licensee of its obligations hereunder, nor shall it relieve Licensee of otherwise complying with this EULA. This Verification/Audit clause shall survive the expiration and/or termination of this EULA for any reason and shall stay effective until three (3) years after the expiration or termination of this EULA.
c. No Assignment or Modification. This EULA may not be assigned, delegated or otherwise transferred by Licensee, by merger, acquisition, change of control, operation of law or otherwise, without the express prior written authorization of Pilot, which may withhold consent in its sole discretion. Any attempt by Licensee to assign, delegate or otherwise transfer this EULA in violation of the foregoing restrictions shall be null and void and a breach and Pilot shall have the right, in addition to any other remedy available at law or in equity, to terminate this EULA
immediately or at any time subsequent to such breach. This EULA can only be modified by a written agreement executed by the parties.

Upon termination of this EULA, Licensee shall have a senior officer certify to Pilot within thirty (30) days of termination that it has destroyed or returned to Pilot, at Pilot’s option, all Confidential Information, and all copies thereof, whether or not modified or merged into other materials.
l. Force Majeure. Each party shall be excused from delays in performing or its failure to perform hereunder (other than payment of monetary obligations) to the extent that such delays or failures result from any event beyond the reasonable control of a
party that causes the delay in or failure to perform such party’s obligations under this EULA, including (but not limited to) natural disasters, riots, war and military operations, national or local emergencies, actions or omissions of the government, economic disputes of whatever nature, actions of employees, fire, flooding, faults or errors in a third-party’s hardware or software, unavailability of third party communication lines or devices, lightning strikes, explosions, collapses, Internet or
other communication network “brownouts” or failures, as well as any action or
omission of a person or entity beyond the reasonable control of the affected party.
The affected party will cooperate with the other party and reasonably assist this other party in minimizing the impact of the circumstances on the other party.
