2. License to Access and Use Software Services
-
The limited license granted to Subscriber to use the Software services is non-exclusive and non-transferable, and extends only to access and use that can reasonably be deemed part of Subscriber’s internal business purposes, solely from and in those stores, webshops, and warehouses that are either branded as Subscriber or are being operated by a company that is in the same company group as Subscriber and are operated within the same ERP database.
-
All other rights than those provided in clause 2.1 above are expressly reserved by Seller, who is and remains the sole owner of the Software services and all rights pertaining thereto, including any intellectual property rights in the Software services, including related methods, ideas, know-how, procedures, algorithms, source code, and documentation. These Terms and Conditions do not in any way transfer any such rights to Subscriber in any respect.
-
Subscriber’s limited license to the Software services is additionally subject to the following limitations:
-
The Software services may only be used in accordance with Seller-issued user instructions from time to time.

The license is limited to the version of the Software services that is current at each given time. Rights to update the Software services rest solely with Seller, as described in clause 3 below.
-
Rights of access to the Software services are limited to named users, selected by Subscriber, from those who are directly engaged in the use, support, or maintenance of the Software services.

This license does not grant any rights to performing or attempting any of the following:
-
To modify, adapt, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise reduce the software used to provide the Software services to any human-perceivable form;

-
The Software services will be maintained and periodically updated by Seller as needed to implement various bug fixes, changes, and new functionality.

-
Using the Software services entails Subscriber providing data for processing by the services (Hosted data). To the extent that Seller may set limits on how much data Subscriber may process using the Software services, such limits are listed in the relevant executed Services Order Form and will be updated from time to time on Seller’s website, referred to in clause 1.2 above.

-
While these Terms and Conditions apply, Subscriber has access to Hosted data through the interface of the Software services and the tools made available therein, including functionality to download the data in spreadsheet form (Microsoft Excel file format). Seller will not provide other means of accessing Hosted data. In addition, although backup copies are made by Seller, for continuity and security purposes, of the Software services, and such backups can include Hosted data processed by the services, such backups or data contained therein will not be made available to Subscriber. Therefore, Subscriber should, in all cases, retain for its own purposes the original data that it intends to process via the Software services and treat Hosted data as disposable copies thereof.

7. Data Protection
-
The parties hereto shall comply with their respective obligations under all applicable data protection laws with respect to these Terms and Conditions.
-
These Terms and Conditions are limited to providing Subscriber with rights to the use of Seller’s certain software services and hosting of associated data of Subscriber but do not extend to, e.g., hosting of any personal data or any other activity that could entail processing of personal data. To that end, Subscriber shall not use Seller’s hosting services of its data to store or otherwise process any personally identifiable data and shall ensure that all user identification is without any personal data (e.g., “user 1”). The Terms and Conditions do not charge either party hereto with carrying out any processing of any personal data, including on behalf of its counterparty.

-
Rights granted to Subscriber under these Terms and Conditions are granted to Subscriber only, and Subscriber is neither entitled to assign, transfer, sell, resell, distribute, lease, rent, mortgage, charge, loan, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer or sub-license any rights under these Terms and Conditions, in whole or in part, nor to exercise them on behalf of or for the benefit of any other party, nor allow any third party to have access to the Software services, in each case except with Seller’s express prior written approval.
9. Term and Termination
-
These Terms and Conditions apply to Subscriber’s subscription to the Software services from the Effective date until the end of the last subscription period which Subscriber has paid for in full in advance, or until the end of the notice period set out in clause 9.3 below, whichever occurs first.
-
If a payment in full for an upcoming subscription period has not been received by Seller from Subscriber by the end of the then-current subscription period, Subscriber’s subscription shall be considered to have been terminated by Subscriber as of the end of the then-current subscription period.
-
Subscriber can, by providing Seller with a written notice thereof at least one month prior to the end of any subscription period, voluntarily terminate its subscription to the Software services, effective as of Seller receiving such notice. This will, however, not provide Subscriber with any right to a partial refund of any payment for the then-current or previous subscription periods.
-
Either party may terminate Subscriber’s subscription to the Software services with immediate effect if that is a reasonable response to an intellectual property infringement claim, to a court or other governmental order, or to a material change made to these Terms and Conditions, cf. clause 12.2. In that case, Seller will refund Subscriber the payment received from Subscriber for the then-current subscription period, prorated to the number of days then remaining of the subscription period.
-
Upon termination of the subscription, Subscriber’s license and rights to use the Software services immediately cease, and Seller is authorized to suspend Subscriber’s access to the Software services. If the reason for the termination is resolved within three months thereof, e.g., by Seller receiving full payment for the subscription periods up to and including the next period after the then-current one, Subscriber will regain its license and rights to use the Software services, and its access to the Software services will be reinstated. However, if the reason for the termination is not resolved within that time period, Subscriber’s account will be permanently closed, and any Hosted data and backups thereof will be deleted from the services.
-
Notwithstanding any expiration of these Terms and Conditions or termination of Subscriber’s subscription to the Software services, the following rights and obligations shall survive:

Any of Seller’s rights or remedies under these Terms and Conditions, with regards to any cause of action or claim of either party, whether or not accrued at the time of termination, arising from the other party’s breach of or failure to perform any obligation under these Terms and Conditions.
-
In addition to the rights and obligations which survive as expressly provided in these Terms and Conditions, any clauses which by their nature should survive shall survive and continue after any termination or expiration hereunder.
-
10. Warranty and Liability

-
Neither Seller nor its partners shall in any case bear any liability for any consequential or indirect losses, including any loss of data, damages, costs, expenses, or other claim for loss of profits or revenues, business interruption, overstock situations, additional workload, or loss of data or business information, whether or not occasioned by breach of contract or by the negligence of Seller, its employees, partners, or agents or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with these Terms and Conditions or its termination, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
-
In any event, the aggregate maximum liability of Seller and its partners shall in no case exceed the amount of fees paid to Seller under these Terms and Conditions, within the 12 months preceding the date when a written claim was sent by Subscriber regarding the event on which the liability is based.
