2. Access and Use.
2.1. License Grant. Subject to Customer’s compliance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including timely payment of all Fees, Tech Soft 3D hereby grants Customer during the relevant Subscription Term and in the Territory, a revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable (except in compliance with Section 12.4) license and right to (a) permit the number of Authorized Users specified in the applicable Sales Order to access and use the Tech Soft 3D On-Premise Applications identified in such Sales Order, solely for the benefit of Customer solely in or for Customer’s internal business operations as contemplated herein and the relevant Sales Order in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement (the “Permitted Use”), and (b) access and use such other Tech Soft 3D Materials as Tech Soft 3D may supply or make available to Customer solely as necessary to enable such Authorized Users to access and use the Tech Soft 3D On-Premise Applications for the Permitted Use.

2.3. Authorized Users. Customer is responsible and liable for all uses of the Tech Soft 3D On-Premise Applications resulting from access provided by Customer, directly or indirectly, whether such access or use is permitted by or in violation of the Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer is responsible for all acts and omissions of Authorized Users, and any act or omission by an Authorized User that would constitute a breach of the Agreement if taken by Customer will be deemed a breach of the Agreement by Customer. Customer shall use reasonable efforts to make all Authorized Users aware of the Agreement’s provisions as applicable to such Authorized User’s use of the Tech Soft 3D On-Premise Applications and shall cause Authorized Users to comply with such provisions.

10.3. Procedure. The party(ies) seeking indemnification under this Section 10 (collectively, the “Indemnified Party”) will provide prompt written notice of the existence of the applicable Claim to the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnifying Party”), provided that the Indemnified Party’s failure to do so shall not diminish the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Section 10 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. In addition, the Indemnified Party shall (a) reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party with respect to the defense and settlement of such Claim, and (b) permit the Indemnified Party, at its option, to participate in the defense and settlement of such Claim (at its expense and with counsel of its own choosing).

11. Confidential Information; Data Security.
11.1. No Use or Disclosure. From time to time during the Term, either party may disclose or make available Confidential Information to the other party. The receiving party shall not use the disclosing party’s Confidential Information except to the extent necessary to fulfill its obligations under the Agreement. In addition, the receiving party shall not disclose the disclosing party’s Confidential Information to any third party and shall maintain such Confidential Information using methods at least as protective as it uses to protect its own information of a similar nature, but in no event using less than a reasonable degree of care. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the receiving party may disclose the disclosing party’s Confidential Information (a) on an “as-needed” basis to its directors, officers, employees, advisors, agents, subcontractors and/or consultants who are bound by obligations materially similar to this Section 11, provided that the receiving party will remain liable for any breach by any such parties of these provisions and for any damages caused thereby, and (b) to the limited extent required (i) in order to comply with the order of a court or other governmental body, or as otherwise necessary to comply with Applicable Law, provided that the party making the disclosure pursuant to the order shall first have given written notice to the other party and made a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order, or (ii) to establish a party’s rights under the Agreement, including to make required court filings.
11.2. Return or Destruction. On the expiration or termination of the Agreement, the receiving party shall promptly return to the disclosing party all copies, whether in written, electronic, or other form or media, of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information, or, at the disclosing party’s request, destroy all such copies and certify in writing to the disclosing party that such Confidential Information has been destroyed.
11.3. Expiration. Each party’s obligations of non-disclosure with regard to Confidential Information are effective as of the Effective Date and will expire five years from expiration or termination of the Agreement; provided, however, with respect to any Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret (as determined under Applicable Law), such obligations of non-disclosure will survive the termination or expiration of the Agreement for as long as such Confidential Information remains subject to trade secret protection under Applicable Law.
11.4. Data Availability and Security. During the Term, each party will implement and maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of the other party’s data in its possession or control as well as any systems integrated pursuant to the Agreement.

12. General.
12.1. Severability. If any provision of the Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect any other term or provision of the Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify the Agreement so as to effect their original intent as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
12.2. Governing Law. The Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to choice or conflicts of laws provisions thereof, and without regard to the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods or the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA).
12.3. Disputes; Arbitration. Any claim, dispute or controversy between the parties arising out of or relating to the Agreement, or the making, performance, breach or interpretation of the rights and obligations set forth in the Agreement, including any issue concerning the extent to which a claim, dispute or controversy is subject to arbitration, or any claim, dispute or controversy concerning the applicability, interpretation, or enforceability of these dispute resolution procedures, including any contention that all or part of these procedures is invalid or unenforceable (each, a “Dispute”) shall be resolved exclusively in accordance with the following procedure:
a. On written request from either party, appropriate executive representatives from each party shall meet and attempt to resolve the Dispute through good faith discussions.
b. If such representatives are unable to resolve the Dispute within five business days after their initial meeting pursuant to Section 12.3(a), or if ten days have passed from the initial meeting request therefor, then the parties shall endeavor to settle the Dispute by confidential mediation conducted in Santa Clara County, California and administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service or its successor (“JAMS”). Each party shall be responsible for any out-of-pocket costs it incurs in connection with such mediation, provided that any amounts payable to JAMS (including administrative costs and mediator compensation) shall be borne equally by the parties. c. If the Dispute is not successfully resolved within thirty (30) days after commencement of mediation pursuant to Section 12.3(b) then, at the initiation by either party, the Dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration in Santa Clara County, California, before a single arbitrator from JAMS mutually agreeable to the parties, and, if no agreement is reached on an arbitrator, before the arbitrator from JAMS selected in accordance with JAMS’ Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The arbitration will be administered by JAMS in accordance with its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The arbitration proceedings and arbitration award shall be maintained by the parties and by all participants as strictly confidential, except as is otherwise required by court order or as is necessary to confirm, vacate or enforce the award and for disclosure in confidence to the parties’ respective attorneys, tax advisors and senior management. The arbitrator shall require exchange by the parties to the arbitration of documents relevant to the issues raised by any claim, defense or counterclaim or on which the producing party may rely in support of or in opposition to any claim, defense or counterclaim, with due regard for eliminating undue burden and expense and the intended lower cost nature of arbitration. At the request of a party, the arbitrator may at his or her discretion order the deposition of witnesses. The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding on all of the parties to the arbitration, and any right to judicial action on any matter subject to arbitration hereunder is hereby waived, unless otherwise provided by Applicable Law. The arbitrator shall be bound by the terms and conditions of the Agreement and shall not extend, modify or suspend any of the provisions of the Agreement. The decision of the arbitrator, which will be issued in a reasoned award, will be enforceable according to the applicable provisions of the California Civil Rules of Procedure. The prevailing party in any arbitration conducted hereunder shall be entitled to recover from the losing party all reasonable fees, costs and expenses for outside attorneys, experts and other third parties (including its share of JAMS administrative costs and arbitrator compensation) incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such arbitration (including any motion to compel arbitration and costs of enforcement of the arbitration award). d. IF FOR ANY REASON THE PROVISIONS OF THE AGREEMENT REQUIRING ARBITRATION ARE DECLARED UNENFORCEABLE, VOID, OR VOIDABLE, OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR JUDICIAL PROCEEDING PERMITTED UNDER SECTION 12.3(c), EACH PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY.
12.4. Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers, and other communications hereunder (each, a “Notice”) must be in writing and addressed to the parties at the addresses set forth on the Cover Page of the Agreement (or to such other address that may be designated by the party giving Notice from time to time in accordance with this Section 12.4) and shall be deemed given: (a) upon receipt if by personal delivery; (b) upon receipt if sent by certified or registered U.S. mail (return receipt requested); (c) one day after it is sent if by next day delivery by a major commercial delivery service; or (d) upon confirmation of transmission if sent by electronic mail.
12.5. Amendments. Tech Soft 3D reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time and in its sole discretion. Tech Soft 3D will notify Customer of any changes to these Terms by: (i) posting an updated version of these Terms to the Tech Soft 3D On-Premise Applications; (ii) emailing a copy of the updated version of these Terms to Customer at the email address associated with Customer’s Tech Soft 3D account; or (iii) sending Customer a copy of the updated version through Customer’s Tech Soft 3D account, or otherwise notifying Customer when Customer is logged into its Tech Soft 3D account. Customer should regularly review the Tech Soft 3D On-Premise Applications, Customer’s Tech Soft 3D account and the email associated with Customer’s Tech Soft 3D account for any such notices or messages, as Customer’s or its Authorized Users’ continued use of the Tech Soft 3D On-Premise Applications after any such changes were so posted or sent to Customer (as applicable) constitutes Customer’s agreement to such changes.
12.6. Waivers. Except as otherwise set forth in the Agreement, (a) no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power, or privilege arising from the Agreement will operate or be construed as a waiver thereof, and (b) no single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.
12.7. Entire Agreement. The Agreement constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, and representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter.
12.8. Interpretation. In the event of an express conflict between the Agreement and any Sales Order, the terms of the Agreement shall govern except to the extent such Sales Order expressly states that it supersedes the specific provision of the Agreement. The section headings used in the Agreement are intended for convenience only, and will not be deemed to affect in any manner the meaning or intent of the Agreement or any provision hereof. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in the Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”, whether or not they are in fact followed by those words or words of like import. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of the Agreement and each of the parties has had the opportunity to have its legal counsel review the Agreement on its behalf. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, the Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party because of the authorship of any provision of the Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement, each party shall be solely responsible for any and all costs and expenses incurred by such party in connection with its performance hereunder.
12.9. Export Regulation. The Tech Soft 3D On-Premise Applications utilize software and technology that may be subject to US export control laws, including the US Export Administration Act and its associated regulations. Customer shall not, directly or indirectly, export, re-export, or release the Tech Soft 3D On-Premise Applications or the underlying software or technology to, or make the Tech Soft 3D OnPremise Applications or the underlying software or technology accessible from, any jurisdiction or country to which export, reexport, or release is prohibited by law, rule, or regulation. Customer shall comply with all Applicable Law, and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval), prior to exporting, re-exporting, releasing, or otherwise making the Tech Soft 3D On-Premise Applications or the underlying software or technology available outside the US.
12.10. US Government Rights. Each of the Documentation and the software components that constitute the Tech Soft 3D On-Premise Applications is a “commercial item” as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. § 2.101, consisting of “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. § 12.212. Accordingly, if Customer is an agency of the US Government or any contractor therefor, Customer only receives those rights with respect to the Tech Soft 3D On-Premise Applications and Documentation as are granted to all other Customers, in accordance with (a) 48 C.F.R. § 227.7201 through 48 C.F.R. § 227.7204, with respect to the Department of Defense and their contractors, or (b) 48 C.F.R. § 12.212, with respect to all other US Government customers and their contractors.
12.11. Equitable Relief. Each party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such party of any of its obligations under Section 11 or, in the case of Customer, Section 2.5, would cause the other party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other party will be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity or otherwise.
12.12. Independent Contractors. The parties to the Agreement are independent contractors. There is no relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise or agency created hereby between the parties. Neither party will have the power to bind the other or incur obligations on the other party’s behalf without the other party’s prior written consent.
12.13. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of the Agreement.
12.14. Force Majeure. In no event shall either party be liable to the other party, or be deemed to have breached the Agreement, for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under the Agreement (except for any obligations to make payments), if and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by any circumstances beyond such party’s reasonable control, including acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, war, terrorism, epidemic, pandemic (including the novel coronavirus, Covid-19 pandemic), invasion, riot or other civil unrest, strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, or passage of law or any action taken by a governmental or public authority, including imposing an embargo (collectively, “Force Majeure Events”). In the event of such failure or delay, the date of delivery or performance will be extended for a period not to exceed the time lost by reason of the failure or delay; provided that the party affected by such delay or failure is using reasonable commercial efforts to mitigate or eliminate the cause of such delay failure or its effects and, if events in the nature of the Force Majeure Event were foreseeable, used commercially reasonable efforts prior to its occurrence to anticipate and avoid its occurrence or effect. Each party shall notify the other in writing promptly of any failure or delay in, and the effect on, its performance.
12.15. Assignment. Customer may not assign the Agreement or assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Tech Soft 3D, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section 12.15 will be null and void. The Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
12.16. Publicity; Attribution. Neither party may issue a public statement, public announcement, press release or publicity or marketing materials regarding the Agreement without the prior consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Elementus may indicate that Customer is a Customer and display Customer’s logo for such purposes on Tech Soft 3D’s website and standard marketing materials. Any such attribution will be consistent with Customer’s style guidelines or requirements as communicated to Tech Soft 3D in writing.
12.17. Counterparts; Signatures. The Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which is deemed an original, but all of which together are deemed to be one and the same agreement. Faxed or electronic signatures will have the same effect as original signatures.
