In addition, illumeet may also provide related support, training, integration, development, system administration or maintenance services (“Additional Services”).

​

4. Orders.

4.1. Directly with illumeet. illumeet’s Order Form or online signup process at illumeet.com (“Order”) will specify your authorized Scope of Use for the Products. The term “Order” also includes any applicable Product or Support and Maintenance renewal, or purchases you make to increase or upgrade your Scope of Use.
4.2. Reseller Orders. This Agreement applies whether you purchase our Products directly from illumeet or through illumeet partners or other authorized resellers (each, a “Reseller”). If you purchase through a Reseller, your Scope of Use shall be as stated in the Order placed by Reseller for you, and Reseller is responsible for the accuracy of any such Order. Resellers are not authorized to make any promises or commitments on illumeet’s behalf, and we are not bound by any obligations to you other than what we specify in this Agreement.

​

5. End Users.

By providing access to the Software or Hosted Services to your or your Affiliates’ employees, representatives, consultants, contractors, agents, leads, customers or other third parties (your “End Users”) you will be responsible for their use of the Software or Hosted Service. Accordingly, you must enter into valid, binding agreements with your End Users that require them to comply with the applicable terms of the Agreement, including any conditions or restrictions with respect to Scope of Use, use of, or access to, the Software or Hosted Services. You are responsible for compliance with this Agreement by your End Users. “Affiliate” means an entity which, directly or indirectly, owns or controls, is owned or is controlled by or is under common ownership or control with a party, where “control” means the power to direct the management or affairs of an entity, and “ownership” means the beneficial ownership of 50% (or, if the applicable jurisdiction does not allow majority ownership, the maximum amount permitted under such law) or more of the voting equity securities or other equivalent voting interests of the entity. For the avoidance of doubt, providing such access to End Users does not mean that you may distribute, resell, or OEM any Software or Hosted Services, or make the Products available to your customers on a standalone basis. You may however have the right to resell access to your instance of the Products, if the terms of your Order include the right to resell such access. illumeet will not have any direct or indirect liability or obligation to any of your End Users. For the avoidance of doubt, your End Users are not parties to, or third party beneficiaries under, the Agreement. You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless illumeet from and against any loss, cost, liability or damage, including attorneys’ fees, for which illumeet becomes liable arising from or relating to any claim brought against us by your End Users arising out of their use of the Software or Hosted Services made available to you.

The Support Policy may be modified by illumeet from time to time to reflect process improvements or changing practices.

​

10. Returns and Financial Terms.

10.1. Return Policy. illumeet does not offer a return policy. We do however provide various ways of trying out the Products before buying, including time or feature limited free trials (see section 11). You understand that illumeet may change this practice in the future in accordance with Section 26 (Changes to this Agreement).
10.2. Delivery. In the case of Named User Cloud Accounts, we will deliver the login instructions to the email address specified in your Order once we have received payment of the applicable fees. For Software we will carry out the installation on your infrastructure once (i) the infrastructure has been prepared by you and access to it has been provided to us as required by the Documentation, (ii) we have received all the required custom configuration information from you to carry out the installation, and (iii) we have received payment of the applicable fees. For Cloud Servers we will carry out the installation on our infrastructure once (i) we have received all the required custom configuration information from you to carry out the installation, and (ii) we have received payment of the applicable fees. All deliveries under this Agreement will be electronic.
10.3. Payment. You agree to pay all fees in accordance with each Order. Unless otherwise specified in your Order, you will pay all amounts at the time you place it, in the currency specified in your Order. Other than as expressly set forth in Section 20 (IP Indemnification by illumeet), all amounts are non-refundable, non-cancelable and non-creditable. In making payments, you acknowledge that you are not relying on future availability of any Products beyond the current License Term or Subscription Term or any Product upgrades or feature enhancements. If you add Scope of Use extensions during your License Term or Subscription Term, we will charge you for the increased Scope of Use pursuant to the then-currently applicable rates in your next billing cycle. You agree that we may bill your credit card for fees due, as applicable. If you purchase any Products through a Reseller, you owe payment to the Reseller as agreed between you and the Reseller, but you acknowledge that we may terminate your rights to use Products if we do not receive our corresponding payment from the Reseller.
10.4. Taxes. Your payments under this Agreement exclude any taxes or duties payable in respect of the Products in the jurisdiction where the payment is either made or received. To the extent that any such taxes or duties are payable by illumeet, you must pay to illumeet the amount of such taxes or duties in addition to any fees owed under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may have obtained an exemption from relevant taxes or duties as of the time such taxes or duties are levied or assessed. In that case, you will have the right to provide to illumeet any such exemption information, and illumeet will use reasonable efforts to provide such invoicing documents as may enable you to obtain a refund or credit for the amount so paid from any relevant revenue authority if such a refund or credit is available.

​

11. No-Charge Products.

We may offer certain Products to you at no charge, including free accounts, trial use, and access to Beta Versions as defined below (“No-Charge Products”). Your use of No-Charge Products is subject to any additional terms that we specify and is only permitted for the period designated by us. You may not use No-Charge Products for competitive analysis or similar purposes. We may terminate your right to use No-Charge Products at any time and for any reason in our sole discretion, without liability to you. You understand that any pre-release and beta products we make available (“Beta Versions”) are still under development, may be inoperable or incomplete and are likely to contain more errors and bugs than generally available Products. We make no promises that any Beta Versions will ever be made generally available. In some circumstances, we may charge a fee in order to allow you to access Beta Versions, but the Beta Versions will still remain subject to this Section 11 (No-Charge Products). All information regarding the characteristics, features or performance of Beta Versions constitutes illumeet’s Confidential Information. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all obligations or liabilities with respect to No-Charge Products, including any Support and Maintenance, warranty, and indemnity obligations.

​

12. Restrictions.
Except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement (in particular with regards to the available license options granting the rights to resell access and to remove illumeet branding), you will not: (a) rent, lease, reproduce, modify, adapt, create derivative works of, distribute, sell, sublicense, transfer, or provide access to the Products to a third party, (b) use the Products for the benefit of any third party, © incorporate any Products into a product or service you provide to a third party, (d) interfere with any license key mechanism in the Products or otherwise circumvent mechanisms in the Products intended to limit your use, (e) reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, translate, or otherwise seek to obtain or derive the source code, underlying ideas, algorithms, file formats or non-public APIs to any Products, except as permitted by law, (f) remove or obscure any proprietary or other notices contained in any Product, or (g) publicly disseminate information regarding the performance of the Products.

13.1. License to Developer Guides. From time to time, illumeet may publish API’s or SDK’s and associated guidelines (“Developer Guides”) to allow you to develop extensions, add-ons or other software products or services that interoperate or integrated the Products or parts thereof (“Add-Ons”). You may distribute your Add-Ons to third parties, but only for those Products permitted by illumeet, and only in accordance with the Developer Guides.
13.2. Conditions to Development of Add-Ons. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, illumeet has no support, warranty, indemnification or other obligation or liability with respect to your Add-Ons or their combination, interaction or use with the Products. You shall indemnify, defend and hold us harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of or in connection with any claim brought against us by a third party relating to your Add-Ons (including but not limited to any representations or warranties you make about your Add-Ons) or your breach of this Section.

​

14. License Certifications and Audits.
At our request, you agree to provide a signed certification that you are using all Products pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including the Scope of Use. You agree to allow us, or our authorized agent, to audit your use of the Products. We will provide you with at least 10 days advance notice prior to the audit, and the audit will be conducted during normal business hours. We will bear all out-of-pocket costs that we incur for the audit, unless the audit reveals that you have exceeded the Scope of Use. You will provide reasonable assistance, cooperation, and access to relevant information in the course of any audit at your own cost. If you exceed your Scope of Use, we may invoice you for any past or ongoing excessive use, and you will pay the invoice promptly after receipt. This remedy is without prejudice to any other remedies available to illumeet at law or equity or under this Agreement. To the extent we are obligated to do so, we may share audit results with certain of our third party licensors or assign the audit rights specified in this Section to such licensors.

​

15. Ownership and Feedback.

Products are made available on a limited license or access basis, and no ownership right is conveyed to you, irrespective of the use of terms such as “purchase” or “sale”. illumeet and its licensors have and retain all right, title and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to the Products (including all No-Charge Products), their “look and feel”, any and all related or underlying technology, and any modifications or derivative works of the foregoing created by or for illumeet, including without limitation as they may incorporate Feedback (“illumeet Technology”). From time to time, you may choose to submit comments, information, questions, data, ideas, description of processes, or other information to illumeet, including sharing Your Modifications or in the course of receiving Support and Maintenance (“Feedback”). illumeet may in connection with any of its products or services freely use, copy, disclose, license, distribute and exploit any Feedback in any manner without any obligation, royalty or restriction based on intellectual property rights or otherwise. No Feedback will be considered your Confidential Information, and nothing in this Agreement limits illumeet’s right to independently use, develop, evaluate, or market products, whether incorporating Feedback or otherwise.

​

16. Confidentiality.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each party agrees that all code, inventions, know-how, business, technical and financial information disclosed to such party (“Receiving Party”) by the disclosing party (“Disclosing Party”) constitute the confidential property of the Disclosing Party (“Confidential Information”), provided that it is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure. Any illumeet Technology and any performance information relating to the Products shall be deemed Confidential Information of illumeet without any marking or further designation. Except as expressly authorized herein, the Receiving Party will hold in confidence and not use or disclose any Confidential Information. The Receiving Party’s nondisclosure obligation shall not apply to information which the Receiving Party can document: (i) was rightfully in its possession or known to it prior to receipt of the Confidential Information; (ii) is or has become public knowledge through no fault of the Receiving Party; (iii) is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; or (iv) is independently developed by employees of the Receiving Party who had no access to such information. The Receiving Party may also disclose Confidential Information if so required pursuant to a regulation, law or court order (but only to the minimum extent required to comply with such regulation or order and with advance notice to the Disclosing Party). The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the Receiving Party the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section shall not operate as a separate warranty with respect to the operation of any Product.

​

If your use of a Product is (or in our opinion is likely to be) enjoined, if required by settlement, or if we determine such actions are reasonably necessary to avoid material liability, we may, at our option and in our discretion: (i) procure a license for your continued use of the Product in accordance with this Agreement; (ii) substitute a substantially functionally similar Product; or (iii) terminate your right to continue using the Product and refund, in the case of Software, the license fee paid by you as reduced to reflect a three year straight-line depreciation from the license purchase date, and in the case of a Hosted Service, any prepaid amounts for the terminated portion of the Subscription Term. illumeet’s indemnification obligations above do not apply: (1) if the total aggregate fees received by illumeet with respect to your license to Software or subscription to Hosted Services in the 12 month period immediately preceding the claim is less than US$50,000; (2) if the Product is modified by any party other than illumeet, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is caused by such modification; (3) if the Product is used in combination with any non-illumeet product, software or equipment, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is caused by such combination; (4) to unauthorized use of Products; (5) to any Claim arising as a result of (a) Your Data (or circumstances covered by your indemnification obligations in Section 7.7.3 (Indemnity for Your Data)) or (b) any third-party deliverables or components contained with the Products; (6) to any unsupported release of the Software; or (7) if you settle or make any admissions with respect to a claim without illumeet’s prior written consent. THIS SECTION 20 (IP INDEMNIFICATION BY illumeet) STATES OUR SOLE LIABILITY AND YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PRODUCT OR OTHER ITEMS PROVIDED BY illumeet UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
