4. Cloud Service and Start of the Cloud Service. Perforce provides to Licensee the Cloud Service in accordance with the Cloud Service Description. It is the duty and responsibility of the Licensee to obtain and configure its own systems so that the Licensee is able to access the Cloud Service. The use of the Cloud Service requires a functioning Internet connection, and it is Licensee’s responsibility to obtain such a connection. Perforce is not responsible for functioning of the communications networks or the Internet.

5. Licensee’s General Obligations. Licensee shall not:

a) use the Cloud Service (or any part of it) for any illegal purpose and shall use it in accordance with all relevant laws;

b) upload or transmit through the Cloud Service (i) any computer viruses, macro viruses, trojan horses, worms or anything else designed to interfere with, interrupt or disrupt the normal operating procedures of a computer or (ii) any material which is defamatory, offensive, or of an obscene or menacing character;

Licensee shall provide full and accurate information when creating any accounts in and for the Cloud Service. The Licensee is solely responsible for the activity that occurs on such accounts. Furthermore, Licensee shall notify Perforce immediately upon becoming aware of any unauthorized use of such accounts.

Licensee may use the Cloud Service for hosting software source code repositories that contain only Allowed Repository Content. Perforce does not limit the disk storage space available for such use. However, upon discovery of hosting of any Licensee Data apart from Allowed Repository Content, Perforce shall be entitled to, at its sole discretion and subject to a reasonable warning, suspend, terminate, or attach conditions to Licensee’s access and/or remove any such content or materials from the Cloud Service.

Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Perforce may occasionally send the Licensee communications regarding Licensee’s account or the Cloud Service via email.

6. Pricing and Payment. The pricing of the Cloud Service shall be as set forth on the applicable price quote issued by Perforce. Licensees under a paid Plan must provide valid billing information and full contact details. However, no billing information is required for a free Plan. The Subscription Fee paid by the Licensee shall be determined by the Plan in force at the beginning of each Subscription Period. The Subscription Fee for each Subscription Period shall be invoiced and become payable by the Licensee at the beginning of such Subscription Period. All fees payable are due within 30 days from the invoice date. Once Licensee has placed an order, the order is non-cancelable and the sums paid are non-refundable, except as may be otherwise provided in this Agreement. The Licensee is free to change their Plan during the Subscription Period, in which case the User Limit will be immediately adjusted accordingly and the new Plan will be taken into account in determining the Subscription Fee for the following Subscription Period, including any portion of the fees for increased User Limits made in the prior Subscription Period. Upon upgrading from a free Plan to one requiring payment by the Licensee, a new Subscription Period under the upgraded Plan and Subscription Fee shall begin immediately. Any consecutive upgrading and downgrading of the Plan during a Subscription Period by the Licensee which recurs during several Subscription Periods and which, as deemed by Perforce, effectively results in the payment of Subscription Fees not corresponding to the amount of actual use of the Software by Licensee, is not allowed under this Agreement. Perforce may, at its sole discretion, decide to charge the Licensee a Subscription Fee corresponding to the highest-paying Plan in force during such Subscription Period during which such behavior has occurred.

7. Change of Terms. Perforce may, in its sole discretion, revise the pricing and any other terms under this Agreement, including but not limited to the Plans and Subscription Fees, upon 30 days’ notice. Such notice may be provided at any time by posting the changes to the Perforce site (Perforce.com) and sending an email notification to the Licensee. Unless the Licensee cancels their Subscription by notifying Perforce five business days prior to the end of such 30 days’ period, any fees and terms based on such revisions shall be in effect starting from the next beginning Subscription Period after the 30 days’ notice period.

8. Upgrades and Updates. From time to time, Perforce may, in its sole discretion, make updates and upgrades to the Cloud Service. Such updates and upgrades shall be automatically deployed to the Cloud Service without a prior notification. Use of such updates and upgrades shall be covered by the same fees and terms of Perforce as applied to Licensee under Section 6 of this Agreement.

9. Third-Party Extensions to the Cloud Service. Licensee may choose to enhance the operation and features of the Cloud Service by subscribing to or procuring, via the Perforce site (www.perforce.com), certain third-party software extensions or add-ons intended to be used in connection with the Cloud Service (“Extensions”). For the sake of clarity, it is expressly stated that this Agreement does not cover the license or subscription to any Extensions, and all such licenses and/or subscriptions shall be acquired and signed up for by Licensee and all license and other agreements concerning Extensions are entered into by Licensee and not Perforce. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by Perforce, Perforce shall not be responsible or liable for the operation, or non-operation, or any other element of the Extensions.

10. Intellectual Property and Content Ownership. Perforce claims no intellectual property rights over the Licensee Data. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that all copyright, trademarks, and all other intellectual property rights in and to the Cloud Service shall remain at all times owned by Perforce or its licensors. The Licensee is permitted to use the Cloud Service only as expressly authorized by Perforce. Licensee shall not, either directly or indirectly, cause, instruct, direct, or permit any other party to: (a) reverse engineer, translate, disassemble, decompile, sell, rent, lease, manufacture, adapt, create derivative works from, or otherwise modify or distribute the Cloud Service or any materials or deliverables that Perforce provides to Licensee as part of this Agreement, or in the course of providing the Cloud Service support to the Licensee (the “Perforce Materials”), or any part thereof; (b) copy, in whole or in part, the Cloud Service or the Perforce Materials; (c) delete any copyright, trademark, patent or other notices of proprietary rights of Perforce or other parties as they appear anywhere in or on the Cloud Service program or documentation; or (d) tamper with, or attempt to tamper with, or circumvent or disable, or attempt to circumvent or disable, any license key or other limiting function delivered with the Cloud Service, or otherwise attempt to gain access to functionality or capacity that is not validly licensed by Licensee.

11. Confidentiality. Each party to this Agreement shall keep in confidence all material and information of confidential nature received from the other party and may not use such material or information for any other purposes than those of this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement or when the party no longer needs the material or information in question for the purpose of this Agreement, each party shall upon request of the other party return or destroy all confidential material and information received from the other party. Each party shall, however, be entitled to retain the copies required by law or regulations.

12. Data and Data Protection.

In this Agreement the terms “personal data”, “processing”, “controller” and “processor” shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the EU Directive 95/46/EC on the protection of personal data. Both parties to this Agreement are responsible for acting in compliance with their respective obligations as a controller or a processor under the data protection legislation applicable to them.

The Licensee or its contracting parties shall be the owners and controllers of any and all Licensee Data. Perforce does not form any registers from Licensee Data. Should any personal data be processed, the processing is done by the Licensee with the Cloud Service. If Perforce should be considered processing such data, then it shall be done on the behalf, and by the order, of the Licensee. The Licensee is the controller of any personal data contained in Licensee Data and is responsible for the duties of the personal data processor. Perforce may collect anonymous traffic and statistical data on the usage of the Cloud Service. Perforce may, for the purposes of maintaining network and data security or as required by law, monitor and record the Internet traffic to and from the Cloud Service. The Licensee shall be responsible for all Licensee Data and the usage of Licensee Data in the Cloud Service. Apart from the right to monitor Licensee Data for content formats outside of the scope of Allowed Repository Content, Perforce shall have no right and no obligation to monitor the content or quality of the Licensee Data.

Licensee represents and warrants that it shall use the Cloud Service only in conformity with all legal, contractual and eventual other mandatory obligations. Licensee shall indemnify and hold Perforce harmless from any eventual claims arising against Perforce with respect to the Licensee Data and its legality and conformity to other obligations.

Licensee acknowledges and agrees that the use of the Cloud Service may require data to be transferred to a country outside of Licensee’s country and/or outside of Europe. Against an additional fee, Licensee may choose which geographical region, out of the regions offered by Perforce to Licensee, the data will be stored in.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.

a) The Cloud Service is provided to the Licensee in accordance with the Cloud Service Description and this Agreement. In the event that the Downtime lasts for a consecutive period of at least five business days, the Licensee shall be entitled to terminate the Subscription and receive compensation for the remainder of the Subscription Period, including such consecutive Downtime for which the Licensee has already paid. In relation to the availability of the Cloud Service, there is no other remedy for the Licensee than what is agreed in this paragraph. Any other lacks or errors in the Cloud Service shall be communicated by the Licensee to Perforce promptly within seven days of the Licensee becoming aware of the lack or error, in order for the Licensee to be entitled to a remedy for such shortcoming or error. Perforce shall take all reasonable steps to correct any known lacks or errors within the next seven days. In the event Perforce fails in the correction efforts, the Licensee shall be entitled to compensation for direct expenses and damages caused by such lack or error, however subject to the liability limitations agreed in this Agreement.

b) THERE IS NO OTHER WARRANTY REGARDING THE CLOUD SERVICE, ITS QUALITIES, OR ITS ELEMENTS EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, INCLUDING ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROCESSING THE CUSTOMER’S PERSONAL DATA (if any) WHEN PERFORMING THE CLOUD SERVICES, UNLESS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT. THERE IS NO WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. THE LIABILITY OF A PARTY TOWARDS THE OTHER PARTY BASED ON THIS AGREEMENT FOR DIRECT EXPENSES AND DAMAGES CAUSED BY A BREACH OF CONTRACT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE EFFECTIVE SUBSCRIPTION FEES DURING A PERIOD OF SIX MONTHS PAID BY LICENSEE FOR THE USE OF THE CLOUD SERVICE. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR EXPENSES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS AND LOST SAVINGS, EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. LICENSEE SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR TAKING BACK-UP COPIES OF ITS DATA AND DATA FILES AND FOR VERIFYING THE FUNCTIONALITY OF SUCH BACK-UP COPIES. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR THE LOSS OF, DAMAGE TO, OR ALTERATION OF, DATA OR DATA FILES OF THE OTHER PARTY DUE TO ANY CAUSE AND THE RESULTING DAMAGES AND EXPENSES INCURRED, SUCH AS EXPENSES BASED ON THE RE-CREATION OF DATA FILES. THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO DAMAGES CAUSED BY FRAUD OR INTENTIONAL MISREPRESENTATION. PERFORCE SHALL HAVE NO OTHER LIABILITY FOR ERRORS AND NO OTHER LIABILITY BASED ON THIS AGREEMENT, AND THE LICENSEE SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO ANY OTHER REMEDY, EXCEPT AS AGREED IN THIS SECTION 13. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, PERFORCE WILL NOT BE LIABLE AGAINST LICENSEE FOR LICENSEE’S USE OF THE SERVER, UNLESS AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT THAT THE SERVER PROVIDER IS RESPONSIBLE TOWARDS PERFORCE.

14. Term, Termination.

a) This Agreement and any Subscription under this Agreement shall be in force for the duration of any Subscription Period, and any Subscription shall be, at the end of each Subscription Period, automatically renewed with a Subscription Period of equal length, unless the Licensee chooses to not renew the Subscription by issuing a cancellation of Subscription to Perforce in writing no later than 30 days prior to the end of the applicable Subscription Period. Upon renewal of the Subscription Period, the Subscription is renewed subject to the fees and terms of Perforce applicable to the Cloud Service at the time of renewal.

b) Perforce may suspend Licensee’s access to, or use of, the Cloud Services if Perforce believes that: (i) there is a significant threat to the functionality, security, integrity, or availability of the Cloud Services or any content, data, or applications in the Cloud Services; (ii) Licensee is using the Cloud Services to perform an illegal act; or (iii) there is a violation of the Licensee’s obligations in Section 5 of this Agreement. Licensee acknowledges that in the event of suspension of the Cloud Services, the Licensee may not access any Licensee Data stored in the Cloud Service. Perforce will use reasonable efforts to re-establish the Cloud Services promptly after Perforce determines that the issue causing suspension has been resolved. Any suspension under this Agreement will not excuse Licensee from its obligations to make payments under this Agreement.

c) Perforce may terminate this Agreement, in its sole discretion, at any time with 30 days’ prior written notice, in which case this Agreement shall terminate at the end of the Subscription Period running at the time such notice period ends. Perforce may, in its sole discretion, immediately terminate this Agreement or suspend Licensee’s Subscription if any of the following events have occurred and are continuing: (a) if Licensee becomes bankrupt, insolvent, ceases the active conduct of its business or dissolves or liquidates or assigns its business for the benefit of creditors or if any receiver, trustee, or similar officer is appointed to take charge of Licensee's business or properties, or (b) if Licensee fails to comply with any obligation required under this Agreement, including but not limited to the payment of Subscription Fees.

d) For a period of 60 days after the termination of this Agreement, Perforce shall assist the Licensee in transferring their Licensee Data from Cloud Service to any other service provider. Perforce shall charge for the assistance, and the reasonable costs, of this transfer by the hour, and the Licensee undertakes to pay such charges. At the end of such 60 day period, Perforce will delete or otherwise render inaccessible any of the content that remains in the Cloud Services.

e) All rights and responsibilities, which by their nature are meant to survive termination or cancellation of this Agreement, shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

15. Miscellaneous.

a) Licensee may not sell, transfer, assign, or delegate any rights or obligations under this Agreement.

b) This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict provision or rule, and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Any judicial proceeding brought with respect to this Agreement may only be brought in the state and federal courts located in the State of Minnesota located in Hennepin County, and the Licensee hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts, and any related appellate courts.

c) No amendment or modification of this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights hereunder, shall be effective unless agreed to in a writing signed by authorized representatives by both parties. Any such waiver shall be narrowly construed to apply only to the specific provision and under the specific instance and circumstances for which it was given.

d) Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no person or entity who is not a party will have any right or obligation pursuant to this Agreement.

e) Licensee agrees that, in addition to any other remedies available hereunder, by law, or otherwise, Perforce, and its third party providers, will be entitled to seek injunctive relief, as well as any other available equitable remedies, against any such continued breach by Licensee of such obligations.

f) If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal, or otherwise unenforceable, such provision shall be modified rather than voided in order to achieve the intent of the parties to the extent necessary to make the provision enforceable, and the enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not be impaired thereby.

g) This Agreement, including all price quotes and invoices issued in connection herewith, constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and cancels any prior and contemporaneous oral or written proposals, promises, or agreements. No terms or conditions, including any pre-printed or boilerplate terms and conditions, stated in any Licensee purchase order, or in any other Licensee documentation, shall be incorporated into or form any part of this Agreement, and all such terms or conditions shall be null and void and of no force and effect.

h) Perforce is an independent contractor, not Licensee’s agent, joint venture, partner, or fiduciary. Perforce does not undertake to perform any of Licensee’s regulatory obligations or to assume any responsibility for Licensee’s business or operations.

i) Perforce may use personnel and resources in locations worldwide, including third party contractors and subprocessors to support the delivery of the Cloud Services. Perforce may transfer content, including personally identifiable information, across country borders. Perforce is responsible for the obligations under this Agreement even if Perforce uses third party contractors or subprocessors.

j) All notices provided for in this Agreement will be in writing and will be sent by facsimile with confirmation to the number specified below, personally delivered, or sent by reputable overnight courier service (delivery charges prepaid), or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to any party at the address specified for Perforce below, and at the address of the Licensee provided on the signature page to this Agreement.

Duplicate Server Request

 

Customer understands and agrees that the additional software licenses being supplied by Perforce Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, as applicable (collectively, “Perforce”), are for the sole purpose of enabling already-licensed personnel to access more than one Perforce server. Customer acknowledges that Perforce licenses its product to an authorized party of Customer who is assigned a user account of type standard by Customer to consume one license to use the products licensed by Perforce and for which a user record in the Customer’s Perforce database will have been created, and does not operate a floating, concurrent, or site license system.

By making this request, Customer agrees to allow Perforce, during reasonable business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, to conduct an audit of Customer's computer systems, including, without restriction, the server identified by its IP address in this request, and all servers for which Perforce has previously granted licenses to Customer, for the sole purpose of verifying Customer's compliance with the conditions set forth in the foregoing paragraph (the "Purpose"). Customer agrees to cooperate with Perforce in the conduct of such an audit, and to provide all technical assistance reasonably requested by Perforce for the Purpose.

IP-Less Request

 

Perforce Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation, on behalf of itself, and on behalf of its subsidiaries, as applicable (collectively, “Perforce”), understands that, due to Customer's representations regarding Customer’s current server environment, licensing based on the IP address of the server host is not practical. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the license of Perforce’s software requires that each of Customer’s employees and other authorized parties who will have access to use the software must be assigned a user account of type standard by Customer to consume one license to use the software licensed to Customer by Perforce and for which a user record in the Customer’s Perforce database will have been created. Customer further acknowledges and agrees that Perforce does not operate a floating license system. All copies of the license file delivered to Customer remain the property of Perforce, and all copies of the license file, including Customer’s use of such license file, are subject to the terms and conditions of the license agreement entered into by and between Customer and Perforce, or the click accept license agreement located at https://www.perforce.com/terms-use#eula, whichever is applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer is expressly forbidden from copying, reverse engineering, altering, tampering with, circumventing, disabling, or otherwise distributing the license file under any circumstances. The terms of this acknowledgment are deemed to be additional terms to the license agreement entered into by and between Customer and Perforce, or the click accept license agreement located at https://www.perforce.com/terms-use#eula, whichever is applicable.

Equal Employment Opportunity / Affirmative Action Policy Statement

 

Perforce Software is committed to providing equal employment opportunity to all applicants and employees regardless of their race, creed, color, religion, gender, age, national origin, disability, military service, protected veteran status, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local law.

Perforce Software is further committed to ensuring that employment decisions are based on valid job requirements. In addition, all employment actions, such as recruiting, hiring, training, promotion, compensation, benefits, transfers, layoffs and termination are administered fairly to all persons on an equal opportunity basis, without discrimination on the basis of protected categories named above.

Perforce Software will not tolerate employees and applicants to be subjected to harassment, intimidation, threats, coercion or retaliation because they engaged or may engage in filing a complaint or assisted in a review, investigation or hearing related to any federal, state or local law requiring equal employment opportunity; or because they opposed any act deemed unlawful. Perforce Software will provide qualified applicants and employees with disabilities any needed reasonable accommodations, as required by law.

Janet Dryer, CEO, supports this affirmative action program and has appointed Brian Holsten, VP of Human Resources as Perforce’s EEO Coordinator. The EEO Coordinator’s responsibilities include implementing an internal audit and reporting system to monitor and measure the effectiveness of Perforce’s equal employment opportunity efforts and report to executive management on this and any needs for remedial action.

Perforce Software maintains affirmative action plans for minorities, women, individuals with disabilities and protected veterans. Any questions regarding these plans or the company's equal opportunity policy should be directed to the EEO Coordinator who is responsible for the implementation of the plan. All employees are responsible for supporting the concept of equal employment opportunity and affirmative action, and assisting and cooperating in meeting our plan goals.

If you wish to view the plans for protected veterans and individuals with disabilities, contact Brian Holsten during normal business hours and arrangements will be made for the areas of the plan available for inspection under the law.

Perforce Software is committed to providing equal employment opportunity to all job seekers according to all applicable equal opportunity and affirmative action laws and regulations.
