This customary commercial license is provided in accordance with FAR 12.211 (Technical Data) and FAR 12.212 (Software) and, for Department of Defense transactions, DFAR 252.227-7015 (Technical Data – Commercial Items) and DFAR 227.7202-3 (Rights in Commercial Computer Software or Computer Software Documentation).

8.2 Export Compliance. The Software, Services and other technology that MSD makes available and derivatives thereof may be subject to export laws and regulations of the United States and other jurisdictions. Each party represents that it is not named on any U.S. government denied-party list. Licensee shall not permit Users to access or use any Software or Service in a U.S.-embargoed country (currently Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan or Syria) or in violation of any U.S. export law or regulation.

9. General Provisions

9.1 Mutual Non-Disparagement. Each party agrees that it will not publish any statement that disparages the other or that could reasonably be foreseen to cause harm to the other’s business and/or professional reputation and will take reasonable steps to cause its employees to abide by the foregoing, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to limit any statements made under oath or in connection with legal proceedings arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement. The parties agree that it would be impracticable, if not impossible, to ascertain the amount of actual damages caused by a breach of this Section 9.1. Accordingly, the parties agree that if a party violates this provision, such party shall pay to the other, as liquidated damages, the amount of $3,000 for each breach. The parties agree that this liquidated damages provision represents reasonable and proportionate compensation for the loss which would be incurred due to any such breach. Nothing herein is intended to limit a party’s right to injunctive and other relief as may be appropriate.

9.2 Use of Trade Marks. Each party grants the other a non-exclusive, limited license to use the business name, logos, and trademarks (collectively, “Marks”) of the other in connection with marketing and promotional materials, provided that such use is consistent with Section 10.1 and accurately represents the parties’ relationship.

9.3 Effect of Partial Invalidity/Waiver. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, such provision will be deemed amended to the least extent as to render such provision enforceable, and the remaining provisions will be deemed to continue in full force and effect. Failure of either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not constitute or be construed as a waiver of such provision or of the right to enforce such provision.

9.4 Force Majeure. MSD’s performance under this Agreement is subject to interruption and delay due to causes beyond its reasonable control, such as acts of God, acts of any government, war or other hostility, civil disorder, the elements, fire, explosion, power failure, equipment failure, industrial or labor dispute, inability to obtain necessary supplies and the like.

9.5 Entire Agreement. All prior conversations, discussions, and agreements between the parties hereto as to the subject matter herein are hereby merged into, and set forth in writing as a part of, this Agreement together with applicable Quotes, which constitute the entire agreement of the parties as to such subject matter.

9.6 Modifications. No changes, alterations, modifications, additions, or qualifications to the terms of this Agreement may be made unless (i) made in accordance with the express provisions of this Agreement governing changes by MSD in the terms and conditions of the license of the Software or Services or (ii) made in writing which specifically references this Agreement by title and which is signed by both of the parties hereto. To the extent that MSD and Licensee are parties to a prior agreement concerning the license and use of the Software and Services, this Agreement will supersede and replace such earlier agreement.

9.7 Continuing Obligations. All rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement which by their nature would continue beyond the termination or expiration of this Agreement, will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement and include those set forth in Sections 2.3, 4, 5, 6.4, 7, and 9.

9.8 Governing Law and Forum. This Agreement will be governed by and construed under the law of the State of Ohio without regard to choice of law principles. The parties agree that the state courts in Delaware County, Ohio (or the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division if such court has appropriate subject matter jurisdiction) will have exclusive jurisdiction over any claim arising out of, or related to, this Agreement (as amended), the Software, or the Services, and each party consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.

9.9 Assignment. Licensee may not assign this Agreement, the license, or any of its rights or delegate its obligations without the prior written consent of MSD. For purposes of this Section, a change in control of a majority ownership interest in Licensee shall be deemed an assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee may assign its license to use the Software in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of its assets or in connection with a change in control of a majority ownership interest in Licensee provided (i) all amounts due and payable to MSD are paid in full and (ii) the assignee signs a current MSD License and Services Agreement with respect to the Software licensed hereunder.

10. 30-Day Money Back Guarantee

10.1 Return. Within 30 days of the date of payment for Licensee’s initial purchase of Smart Service, Licensee may notify MSD in writing that it wishes to return the Software for a refund of fees paid for the Software. In such event, Licensee agrees to provide MSD with access to its computers and servers for purposes of uninstalling the Software or to provide MSD with other evidence, as determined by MSD, that the Software has been uninstalled. This right of refund does not apply to any fees for Services, whether or not such Services were prepaid or actually provided within such 30-day period.

10.2 Refund. Upon MSD’s verification that the Software has been uninstalled and upon Licensee’s acknowledgement of the amount of the fees to be refunded, MSD will refund within 15 days thereafter such amount to the account used by Licensee to make the original payment or if payment was by check, then by mailing such payment to Licensee. Upon completing the refund, this Agreement will terminate, subject to Section 9.7.

10.3 Exclusion for Lease/Financed Purchases. Because any financing or lease arrangement through a Finance Company is subject to Licensee’s agreement with a third-party, MSD is unable to offer a return or refund of the Software for financed purchases. Accordingly, to the extent that Licensee utilizes a Finance Company to finance (through a lease or otherwise) fees for the Software, the provisions of Sections 10.1 and 10.2 will not apply.
