C.E.S warrants for a period of 90 calendar days, or, for Time Limited licenses, during the Subscription Period, in the event that the Subscription Period is less than 90 calendar days, after delivery that the Software will perform substantially in accordance with the accompanying user documentation, if the Software is used under normal operation and maintenance conditions and used as directed in the documentation. No warranty is given for trial license Software. The warranties set forth in this Agreement will not apply if defects arise out of accident, neglect, misuse, failure of utilities, equipment failures, or other than ordinary use of causes beyond C.E.S’s control. Any modifications to the Software by any persons other than C.E.S will void the warranty described in this Agreement and cause an event of default under this Agreement.

C.E.S’s sole obligation will be to cause the Software to substantially conform to its documentation (to the extent technically and reasonably possible and on the condition that the error is reproducible) by amending or updating the Software or supplying an alternative version of the product in which it is embedded. In the event that C.E.S is unable to bring the Software into compliance with the warranty, You may return the Software to C.E.S and You will be entitled to recover, as Your sole and exclusive remedy, the fees paid for that non-complying Software, and depreciated in accordance with standard accountancy practices.

Certain third party software may be provided with the Software.

ALL THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE, DATA, SOFTWARE LICENSED UNDER THE TRIAL LICENSE SECTION AND PRE-RELEASE VERSIONS OF THE SOFTWARE ARE SUPPLIED BY C.E.S ON AN AS IS BASIS WITHOUT CONDITION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY  OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

Any editing, modification or Embedding of the Data done by You is done entirely at Your own risk.
C.E.S reserves the right to make any modifications to the Pre-release Software it deems fit at any time.

THE WARRANTIES AND C.E.S’s LIABILITY DESCRIBED IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE C.E.S’s EXCLUSIVE OBLIGATIONS AND YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES. THEY ARE EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. NO OTHER WARRANTIES, REMEDIES, OBLIGATIONS, LIABILITIES, RIGHTS, OR CLAIMS, WHETHER ARISING IN TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE ARE MADE OR GIVEN BY C.E.S. NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, IS MADE EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT. C.E.S EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS (AND YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT DISCLAIMS) ANY WARRANTY OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

IN NO EVENT WILL C.E.S BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF DATA OR  PROFITS, WHETHER CLAIMED BY REASON OF BREACH OF WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE, AND WITHOUT REGARD TO THE FORM OF ACTION IN WHICH THAT CLAIM IS MADE. ANY ACTION ARISING AGAINST C.E.S MUST BE BROUGHT WITHIN TWELVE (12) MONTHS AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION FIRST ACCRUES. THE AGGREGATE TOTAL OF ALL LIABILITIES OF C.E.S UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL IN ANY CASE BE LIMITED TO THE LICENSE FEES PAID BY YOU FOR THE SOFTWARE.

7. Infringement and Limitation

In the event of a claim that the Software infringes upon or violates any worldwide patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right, C.E.S will defend or settle at its option and expense that claim, subject to the limitations provided for under this article and article 6 of this Agreement. If the Software, or any part of it, is held to constitute or is alleged to constitute an infringement and the use of that Software is enjoined, C.E.S may, at its sole option, (i) obtain the right for You to continue using the Software or (ii) substitute the Software with other non-infringing software with similar functionalities, (iii) modify the Software so that it is no longer infringing while giving substantially similar functionality. If those remedies are not commercially reasonably available to C.E.S, C.E.S may terminate the license for the affected portion of the Software and refund an equitable portion of the price or license fee paid for these items and depreciated in accordance with standard accountancy practices. C.E.S will be subject to the foregoing obligations only if C.E.S is given prompt written notice of that claim. You will fully cooperate with C.E.S in the defense of that claim, if requested by C.E.S and at C.E.S’s expense for Your out of pocket costs. C.E.S will have no liability for infringement claims if the alleged infringement is based on or arises from (i) the modification of the Software by anyone other than C.E.S, (ii) use of the Software in a manner that is inconsistent with the documentation, (iii) use of the Software in connection or in combination with the product of a third party if that combination caused the infringement or (iv) use of other than the most current release of the Software.

The total liability of C.E.S arising out of any infringement claim will in no event exceed the lesser of the fees paid by You to C.E.S for the infringing Software item or an amount of $50,000.00 US. The foregoing states C.E.S’s entire liability and Your exclusive remedy for any claim of infringement or misappropriation.

Moreover if Your acquisition of the Software or Data is subject to the laws of the United States of America, You represent and warrant that You will comply with any specific restrictions and regulations that might be applicable to all contracts or agreements (including but not limited to the reproduction of the “restricted rights proprietary notices and/or legends) concluded with the United States government or its agents and representatives. All rights to use the Software or Data are granted on the condition that those rights are forfeited if You fail to comply with the terms of this Agreement.

Your rights under this license will terminate automatically if You fail to cure any breach within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice. But if the breach is of an obligation that cannot be remedied, termination will be effective immediately upon notice from C.E.S. C.E.S may immediately suspend your use of the Software through technological means or by instructing to cease all use, if you fail to make payments when due. If You lose Your hardware or software security key(s) that are provided with the Software, this Agreement will likewise terminate immediately. Upon the termination of this license, You will cease all use of the Software and return or destroy all copies, full or partial, of the Software, as will be instructed to You, on a case-by-case basis, by C.E.S. C.E.S may, in its sole discretion, provide replacement Software if the original Software is lost, stolen, or corrupted. You agree to only use the replacement Software or, if found or rendered usable, the original Software. You will not otherwise dispose of the replacement or original Software.

10. Open Source License Terms

If any part of the Software is subject to any Open Source License Terms, as indicated by separate Open Source License Terms provided with the Software, the use and the license of that part of the Software will be subject to those Open Source License Terms. In the event of any contradiction or uncertainty between the license terms contained in this Agreement and the Open Source License Terms with respect to the portions of the Software governed by Open Source License Terms, the applicable Open Source License Terms will prevail.

The arbitration will be conducted in the English language, unless the parties agree to conduct the arbitration proceedings in another language. The substantially prevailing party will be entitled to its attorney’s fees, costs and expenses, and to the arbitrator’s fees, paid by it.

Without prejudice to the foregoing, C.E.S will be entitled to bring an action against You before the courts of London, UK or before the courts of any country where You are established or reside or any country where an infringement or misappropriation occurs if the action concerns the collection of a pecuniary debt or the protection or enforcement of C.E.S’s intellectual property rights or in the event You are established or reside in a country which is not a party to the United Nations Convention of 10 June 1958 on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards. The English version of this Agreement will prevail over any version translated into another language.
