Notwithstanding any other provision in the EULA or this Addendum, Demo Licenses are provided "AS-IS" without indemnification, maintenance and support, or warranty of any kind, expressed or implied, and without any liability for Liquit for any damages because of any defects or errors in the Software.

Enterprise license. An Enterprise license may only be ordered directly from Liquit and is intended for use by international organizations.

Managed Services license. A Managed Services license may only be ordered directly from Liquit subject to the terms and conditions of a separate Managed Service License Agreement and is intended for services providers who wish to offer the Software to their customers. A Managed Services license allows third parties to access and use the Software from the domain of the managed services provider.

 

ADDENDUM B ? THIRD PARTY MATERIALS

This Addendum B ? Third Party Materials ("Addendum B") describes additional terms that apply to Third Party Materials.

With the Software it is possible to activate certain connectors to existing application environments and/or resources (e.g. Setup Commander, Citrix Storefront, App Volumes, Windows Printer Servers etc.). The connected applications and/or resources will be imported in the central Liquit resource pool.

Activating and using such connectors by Customer is subject to Customer's timely payment of the applicable fees for the selected connectors and to the terms and conditions of the relevant licensors of the selected connectors. If you do not accept or agree to those terms and conditions, do not activate and / or use those connectors.

Furthermore, Customer is solely responsible for having acquired the relevant permissions, consents, rights and/or licenses for the Third Party Materials that are imported in the central Liquit resource pool with the use of the connector to the Setup Store. By downloading and installing the Third Party Materials with the use of the connector to the Setup Store, Customer represents and warrants that it has the relevant permissions, consents, rights and/or licenses to use the Third Party Materials and to use those in connection with the Software for importing the Third Party Materials in the central Liquit resource pool.

Customer may use the connector to the Setup Store and by activating that connector Customer will get a limited number of applications. If Customer wants to access the entire database it needs to purchase a separate Liquit Release & Patch Management license, which will give access to the entire database.

 

> ADDENDUM C ? HOSTED APPLICATION

This Addendum C ? Hosted Application (the "Addendum C") describes additional terms and conditions that apply to Customer's access to and use of the Software as a hosted application.

Availability

Liquit uses the services offered by the third-party hosting services provider as described on the Data Protection Information page on the Liquit website (" Hosting Services Provider ") to make the Software available. The applicable service levels are either described on the Data Protection Information page on the Liquit website or described on the relevant webpages of the Hosting Services Provider referred to on the Data Protection Information page on the Liquit website (" Hosting Services Provider SLA ").

Liquit shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Software available for access and use by Customer and its users at least 98% of the time measured over a full calendar month during the Term. Liquit shall have no obligation to make the Software available (i) during scheduled maintenance and (ii) to the extent and for the period that Liquit is prevented from doing so by reason of any cause beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation the inability to use or the failure of any data communications services provider. Liquit has no responsibility for any non-availability (i) in the events as specified in clause 7.5 of the EULA (ii) caused by an error of failure of any hardware, software, infrastructure of data communications connections for which Customer is responsible.

If, following an unavailability of the datacenter of the Hosting Services Provider, Customer is unable to access and/or use the Software, Customer is entitled to a pro rata part of any Service Credits (as defined in the Hosting Services Provider SLA) Liquit receives from the Hosting Services Provider under the Hosting Services Provider SLA provided that Customer (a) complies with the terms and conditions of the EULA (including this Addendum C) and (b) reports the unavailability in time (before the 10th of the calendar month following the calendar month in which the issue incident occurred) and with a detailed description of the unavailability (including (i) the time and duration of the unavailability; (ii) the number of locations or users affected; and (ii) descriptions of your attempts to resolve the incident) in order for Liquit to report the unavailability to its datacenter provider and to make the claim for any Service Credits. Payment of a Service Credit is Customer's sole remedy for any unavailability of the Software.

Liquit will provide e-mail notification to Customer prior to scheduled maintenance windows and as soon as possible in the event of emergency maintenance.

Support

Liquit will only provide support by e-mail or phone for technical questions and assistance regarding accessing the Software.

If you ordered the Software directly from Liquit, Customer may request support by e-mail and telephone between 09:00 and 17.00 hours (CET) on working days excluding public holidays in the Netherlands. The e-mail address and phone numbers for support are specified at the website of Liquit.

Liquit shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond during normal business hours to incidents that have been reported by Customer.

Data center

The location or region of the data centers and the back-up data centers used by Liquit are described on the Data Protection Information page on the Liquit website. If Liquit changes the location or region of a data center, Liquit will notify the Customer by updating the relevant information on the Data Protection Information page on the Liquit website (provided, however, that Liquit will not be required to provide such notification for a temporary transfer in the event of an emergency).

Customers obligations

Customer is responsible for setting up and maintaining the required hardware, software, infrastructure and data communications connections to the internet or another network in order to access the data center on which the Software is hosted. Customer shall take appropriate measures (including installing updates when available) to protect its hardware, software, infrastructure and data communications connections against unauthorized access viruses, malware and similar threats. Customer is responsible for downloading and installing Updates (e.g. Liquit Agent and Liquit Apps) on the hardware managed by it when prompted to do so in order to continue accessing and/or using the Software.

Customer will and will procure that its users will use the Software solely for the purpose as set out in this EULA and Customer shall not use or permit anyone else to use the Software (a) to intercept or attempt to intercept any communications; (b) to circumvent or attempt to circumvent any security measures; (c) to access data not intended for it, or to log on to a network, server or an account that it is not expressly authorized to access or to log on; (d) to upload or distribute viruses or other forms of malware or spyware; or (e) in any manner that in the opinion of Liquit (i) negatively affects the use or the functioning of the Software; (ii) is not in accordance with general accepted use of similar services and networks and/or applicable laws and regulations; (iii) is or may be disadvantageous, harmful, offensive, inconvenient or in any way wrongful to Liquit, other users of the Software or third parties; and/or (iv) otherwise causes annoyance or inconvenience.

Liquit may monitor and control Customer's access to and use of the Software. Liquit is entitled to suspend, limit or block access to and use of the Software at any time, particularly if Customer or any of its users violate any of the terms of this Addendum.

Fair use

Liquit provides access to the Software on the basis of 'fair use', which means that in principle Liquit does not impose any restrictions on the usage of system, storage or data communication capacity. However, Liquit monitors on a monthly basis the actual usage of system, storage or data communication capacity and compares such usage with the usages of other customers. If the monitoring reveals any usage of system, storage or data communication capacity exceeding twice the average usage by other customers who purchases the same or similar number and type of Software under similar circumstances, Liquit will notify Customer thereof and Customer shall promptly terminate such excessive usage after being notified thereof by Liquit.

Liquit is entitled to suspend, limit or block access to and use of the Software in the event of any continued excessive usage of system, storage or data communication capacity, if Customer failed to terminate the excessive usage after being notified thereof. If Customer wants to continue using the system, storage or data communication capacity in excess of twice the average usage by other customers, Liquit is entitled to charge the costs for such usage.
