    BACKGROUND

    Nuqleous is the owner and seller of software solutions. Customer wishes to purchase from Nuqleous the software solutions (the “Software”) identified on one or more order schedules entered into between Customer and Nuqleous from time to time (each, an “Order”).

    In connection with Customer’s purchase of the Software, Customer may also wish to engage Nuqleous to provide certain set-up and implementation, customization, training, consulting, maintenance or support services (the “Services”) to be identified and agreed upon by the Parties on one or more statements of work entered into between Customer and Nuqleous from time to time (each, a “Statement of Work”).

    All references herein to this Agreement shall be deemed to include all Orders and Statements of Work, which are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Order or Statement of Work, the terms of the Order or Statement of Work, as applicable, shall control. The Software and Services are collectively referred to herein as the “Solutions.”

    AGREEMENT

    1. SOLUTIONS.
      1. Grant of License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Nuqleous hereby grants to Customer a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable and, except as otherwise provided herein, non-transferable license to use the Software and any related specifications, user guides and training materials made available by Nuqleous online or in writing (as updated from time to time, the Documentation) solely for the purpose of conducting Customer’s internal business operations (Customer’s Business). 
      2. Scope of Licensed Access and Use.  Customer may install, use and run one copy of the Software on up to the number of computers identified in the Order. Each individual designated by Customer as authorized to use the Software (each, an Authorized User) shall be designated by Customer to Nuqleous, and no other person may use the Software except for such Authorized Users. Customer shall provide written notice to Nuqleous of the name of each new Authorized User, and of any individuals who are no longer Authorized Users, promptly on adding, removing or replacing any Authorized User. The total number of Authorized Users shall not exceed the number set forth in the Order, except as expressly agreed to in writing by the Parties and subject to any appropriate adjustment to the Charges.
      3. Services.  If Customer desires to engage Nuqleous to provide services in addition to the Software (e.g., set-up and implementation, customization, training, consulting, maintenance and support services), such Services shall be described in one or more mutually executed Statements of Work and such Services shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If during the performance of any Services, Nuqleous personnel are on site at a Customer office or facility, Nuqleous shall take steps to ensure that such personnel comply with all Customer rules and policies applicable to such office or facility and are communicated to Nuqleous in writing at least five (5) days prior to such visit.
      4. Maintenance Releases. During the Term, Nuqleous may make corrective code and other updates to the Software that Nuqleous makes generally available to its other customers at no additional charge (each, a Maintenance Release). Each Maintenance Release will become part of the Software licensed to Customer pursuant to this Agreement. Customer shall install all Maintenance Releases as soon as practicable upon receipt from Nuqleous. Customer does not have any right hereunder to receive any new versions of the Software that Nuqleous may, in its sole discretion, release from time to time, unless purchased by Customer pursuant to a separate Order. In connection with Nuqleous’s provision of any Solutions, Customer agrees to provide and maintain Customer’s computers and systems as reasonably required by Nuqleous to provide the Solutions. Nuqleous shall not be liable hereunder for any matter that arises from or relates to Customer’s computers or systems, including the failure by Customer to timely provide and/or maintain Customer’s computers or systems, or for any matters resulting from Customer’s failure to maintain the Solutions as required by Nuqleous.
    2. TERM.   This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in full force and effect (subject to earlier termination in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) for an initial term of twelve (12) months (Initial Term).  Upon expiration of the Initial Term or applicable Renewal Term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for an additional twelve (12) month term (each, a Renewal Term), unless terminated by either Party upon written notice sent to the non-terminating Party at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the then-current term (the Initial Term and any Renewal Terms, collectively, the Term).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon Customer’s failure to send a purchase order to Nuqleous within ten (10) business days of the Effective Date, Nuqleous reserves the right to send an invoice to Customer without having first received a purchase order.

The Parties shall use all reasonable efforts to settle any disputes relating to Disputed Amounts. 
      5.

    6. CONFIDENTIALITY.
      1. Confidentiality Obligations.  Both Parties acknowledge that each Party may receive (Receiving Party) Confidential Information from the other Party (Disclosing Party) during the Term of this Agreement, and all Confidential Information is deemed to have been received in confidence.  Receiving Party may use Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information only to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement and may disclose Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information only to Receiving Party’s employees, agents or contractors that need to know the information pursuant to this Agreement and who are required (by written agreement, written and enforceable internal policy, or legally enforceable code of professional responsibility) to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information as required by this Agreement.  Receiving Party must protect the Confidential Information at least as well as it does its own valuable and sensitive information of a similar nature and, in any event, with no less than a reasonable degree of care.  Following termination or expiration of this Agreement, and/or if requested by Disclosing Party, Receiving Party must return or destroy all Confidential Information and, upon request, certify in writing as to having returned or destroyed all Confidential Information.  The obligation of confidentiality continues for five (5) years from the expiration or termination of this Agreement; provided, however, Receiving Party must keep (i) any personally identifiable information (PII) confidential as required by any applicable law; and (ii) any trade secrets of Disclosing Party confidential as long as the information remains a trade secret.
      2. Confidential Information.  Confidential Information includes, without limitation, (i) all information communicated by Disclosing Party that should reasonably be considered confidential under the circumstances, whether it was or was not identified as confidential at the time of disclosure; (ii) all information identified as confidential to which Receiving Party has access in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement; (iii) this Agreement, (iv) any trade secret; (v) any existing or contemplated product, service, design, technology, software, process, technical data, engineering, technique, research, development, invention, methodology and concept and any related information; (vi) information relating to any business plan, customer information, PII, customer or supplier list or requirement; and (vii) financial and accounting information.
      3. Exceptions.  The obligations of either Party under this Section 6 do not apply to information that Receiving Party can demonstrate (i) was in its possession at the time of disclosure without confidentiality restrictions; (ii) at the time of disclosure by Disclosing Party is/was generally available to the public or after disclosure becomes generally available to the public through no breach of agreement or other wrongful act by Receiving Party; provided, however, PII remains subject to confidentiality obligations regardless of its availability to the public or availability through unauthorized disclosure; (iii) was received from a third party without restriction on disclosure and without breach of agreement or other wrongful act by Receiving Party; or (iv) is independently developed by Receiving Party without reference to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.
      4. Disclosure by Law.  In the event Receiving Party is required by law, regulation, stock exchange requirement or legal process to disclose any of Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, Receiving Party must (i) give Disclosing Party, to the extent possible, reasonable advance notice prior to disclosure so Disclosing Party may contest the disclosure or seek a protective order, and (ii) reasonably limit the disclosure to the minimum amount that is legally required to be disclosed.
      5. Non-Solicitation.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that information about the other Party's employees, clients, technology, know-how, and the manner in which the Parties conduct business may be Confidential Information hereunder and may constitute protectable trade secret information under applicable law. Therefore, the Parties agree that during the Term and for a period of one (1) year following the expiration or termination of this Agreement, neither Party will, directly or indirectly, separately or in association with others, without the express prior written consent of the other Party, interfere with, impair, disrupt or damage the other Party’s business by soliciting, encouraging or causing others to solicit or encourage any of the other Party’s employees, contractors, subcontractors, business partners or consultants to discontinue their employment with or engagement by the other Party.  The foregoing restriction does not prohibit a Party from engaging or hiring an employee, contractor, subcontractor or other party that has responded to a publicly available position or engagement announcement that was not directed specifically to such employee, contractor, subcontractor or other party.
    7. INDEMNITIES.
      1. Customer Indemnity.  Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold Nuqleous and its officers, directors, employees and agents harmless from and against any and all claims of loss, damages, liability, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising out of or resulting from: (i) Customer’s negligence or alteration of the Solutions; (ii) Customer computers and systems and Customer Content; (iii) a claim relating to any service offered by Customer to third parties; and (iv) any breach by Customer of this Agreement.
      2. Nuqleous Indemnity.  Nuqleous shall indemnify, defend and hold Customer harmless from any claim, suit or proceeding brought against Customer and adjudicated to a final non-appealable judgement by a court of competent jurisdiction to the extent it is based on a third‑party claim that the Solutions as delivered by Nuqleous infringe a United States copyright or a United States patent issued as of the Effective Date of this Agreement.  If such a claim is or is likely to be made, Nuqleous will, at its own expense and sole discretion, exercise one or the following remedies: (x) obtain for Customer the right to continue to use the Solutions consistent with this Agreement; or (y) modify the infringing Solution so it is non-infringing and in compliance with this Agreement. If, in Nuqleous’s reasonable determination, the remedies set forth in subsection (x) and (y) are not available on commercially reasonable terms: (A) Customer shall, at Nuqleous’s request, stop using the allegedly infringing portions of the Software and return any of them (including any copies thereof) in Customer’s possession or control; and (B) Nuqleous may stop performing all allegedly infringing Services, and terminate this Agreement immediately by notice in writing to Customer.  The foregoing states the entire obligation of Nuqleous, and the exclusive remedy of Customer, with respect to infringement of proprietary rights. Nuqleous shall have no indemnity obligation or other liability hereunder arising from: (i) Customer’s negligence, breach of this Agreement or alteration of the Solutions; (ii) Customer computers or systems or Customer Content; (iii) any combination of the Solutions, including any Software, with Customer systems or any materials, products or services not provided by Nuqleous; or (iv) any third‑party products or third‑party services. 
      3. Indemnification Procedure.  The Party claiming indemnification shall: (i) notify the indemnifying party of any claim in respect of which the indemnity may apply; (ii) relinquish control of the defense of the claim to the indemnifying party (if requested by the indemnifying party); and (iii) provide the indemnifying party with all assistance reasonably requested in defense of the claim.  The indemnifying party shall be entitled to settle any claim without the written consent of the indemnified party so long as such settlement involves only the payment of money by the indemnifying party and in no way affects any rights of the indemnified party.
