To the extent that ownership of a Work does not pass to Viora by operation of law, you hereby irrevocably assign to Viora all intellectual property and other rights in a Work to the fullest extent possible (including all registrations granted and all applications for registration in respect of such intellectual property rights) and, to the extent permitted by law, waive in favor of Viora all rights you may have therein (including all moral rights and rights in names). |
|
Ownership of your data You and your users retain all right, title and interest in and to all copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, intellectual property and other proprietary rights in your data. Viora's right to access and use them is limited to the rights expressly granted in this Agreement. No other rights are implied with respect to your data. |
| TERM & TERMINATION |
|
Runtime Unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Section, this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and remain in effect for a period of 1 year (the "Initial Term") - unless a different term is agreed to in writing. You authorize Viora to extend the corresponding Viora SoS after the initial term has expired (one "renewal term" and, together with the initial term, the "term"). The Renewal Term shall be of the same length as the Initial Term, unless Viora specifies otherwise at the time of renewal. A renewal term begins automatically unless Viora receives notice of renewal within 90 days prior to the expiration of the term a notice of termination. |
|
Termination rights Either party may terminate this Agreement effective immediately by written notice if: (a) the other party breaches or defaults in any obligation under this Agreement, which breach or default is not cured within 30 days after receipt of written notice from the non-breaching party (if it can be cured); or (b) the other party becomes subject to any bankruptcy or other insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors, whether under domestic or foreign law and whether voluntary or involuntary, unless it is discontinued within 60 days after the commencement thereof. Upon termination, you shall immediately pay to Viora all monies owed by you to Viora in respect of the Viora SoS prior to the date of termination. |
|
Viora rights to suspension or termination Viora has the right to terminate the contract for good cause with immediate effect if you
|
|
Effect of the termination Termination does not relieve you of the obligation to pay any fees or other amounts accrued or payable to Viora through the end of the current contract term. You will not receive a credit or refund for any fees or payments made prior to termination. Without prejudice to any other rights, upon termination, you must cease all use of the Viora SoS and all other Confidential Information relating to Viora and delete, destroy or (at Viora's request) return all such items and confirm in writing within ten days of termination that the Viora SoS and Confidential Information have been irretrievably deleted. You agree not to make any copies, electronic storage or other record of any documents provided or transmitted and to promptly and completely destroy or delete all documents necessarily created for archival purposes. You acknowledge and agree that Viora has the right to delete the data relating to you, including any copies thereof, except in accordance with our internal policies, contractual, legal or other obligations. |
| Sections 3, 8, 9, 11 and 12 and all definitions used therein shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. |
| DELIVERY |
| Within ten (10) working days of delivery of the Viora SoS, you shall carry out an inspection of the Viora SoS to confirm that it complies with the specifications set out in the Contract. |
| If you discover that the Viora SoS does not comply with the specifications set out in the contract, you must inform Viora immediately in writing and provide a detailed description of all defects in the Viora SoS. This may take the form of a defect report or a report of missing functions. |
| If Viora concludes that the Viora SoS is defective in any way, Viora shall, within twenty (20) business days of such determination, repair or reconfigure the Viora SoS so that it conforms to the specifications set forth in the Agreement, or replace the Viora SoS with conforming Software, at Viora's option. |
| TERMS OF PAYMENT |
| Upon payment of the Fees and subject to your continued compliance with this Agreement, Viora hereby grants you the license to access, use and install the Viora SoS during the Term. The services are provided by means of "Software as a Service" unless otherwise agreed. |
| Payments you make to Viora will be processed through a third party payment provider. All information you provide in connection with the Viora SoS must be accurate, complete and current. You agree to pay all fees incurred by users of your credit card, debit card or other payment method in connection with a purchase on the Platform at the rates in effect at the time such fees are incurred. You also agree to pay any applicable taxes in connection with a purchase. |
| The different models for the billing period (the "license billing models"), which are listed as Appendix 2 offer you the option of paying monthly or annually. Payment for a full annual term may result in an agreement for a discounted price for the use of the Viora SoS. A valid payment method, including a credit card, is required to process payment for your use of the Viora SoS. You will deposit an amount as "credit" and use this credit to access the Viora SoS. Billing will be based on the use of your credit balance. By submitting this payment information, you automatically authorize Viora to debit the fees incurred through your account from these payment instruments. |
| If your primary payment method fails, you authorize Viora to charge any other payment method in your account. If you have not provided Viora with alternative payment method(s) and payment fails, or if all payment methods in your account fail, Viora may suspend your access to the Viora SoS. |
| The set-off of counterclaims against service fees and other payment obligations vis-à-vis Viora is not permitted under this contract and is hereby expressly excluded by the parties, unless such claims have been expressly recognized by Viora. |
| Viora may change the fees at its sole discretion and at any time. Viora will provide you with reasonable advance notice of any change in Service fees to give you the opportunity to cancel your account access before such change becomes effective. Your continued use of the Viora SoS after the fee change becomes effective will constitute your agreement to pay the revised fees. |
| Except where required by law, paid service fees are non-refundable. Certain refund requests for the Viora SoS may be considered by Viora on a case-by-case basis and granted at your sole discretion. |
| UNAVOIDABLE EVENT |
| Viora shall not be liable for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement resulting from acts or events beyond Viora's reasonable control, including, without limitation, strikes, lockouts or other industrial action by third parties, civil commotion, riot, invasion terrorist attacks or the threat of terrorist attacks, declared or undeclared wars, threats of war or preparations for war, fire, explosions, storms, floods, earthquakes, subsidence, epidemics or other natural disasters or failures of public or private telecommunications networks ("Unavoidable event"). |
|
If an Unavoidable Event occurs that impairs the fulfillment of Viora's obligations under this Agreement:
|
| CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION |
| "Confidential Information" means (i) all information (in whatever form), including, without limitation, know-how, technical information, research, data, analyses, compilations, studies, formulas, processes, designs, specifications, plans, prototypes, processes, models, drawings, computer software, visual demonstrations, samples, marketing and business development plans, names of customers and partners and other information relating to customers and business partners, price lists, pricing policies and financial information provided by or on behalf of a Party to the other Party prior to, on or after the date of this Agreement in connection with this Agreement or otherwise relating to such Party, together with any analyses, reports or documents containing or reflecting such information or derived or prepared therefrom, and (ii) the existence and contents of this Agreement. Confidential Information may also include confidential or proprietary information disclosed to a disclosing party by a third party. |
| The Receiving Party shall: (i) keep the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party confidential and protect it with reasonable care; (ii) limit the disclosure of such Confidential Information to those employees or agents who have a need to know such information and who are subject to a confidentiality obligation with respect to the protection of Confidential Information substantially similar to that imposed by this Agreement; and (iii) use the Confidential Information only for the purposes for which it was disclosed, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The Restrictions shall not apply to Confidential Information, other than Personal Data, to the extent that such Confidential Information (i) is generally available to the public (or has become available through no fault of the Receiving Party); (ii) was lawfully received by the Receiving Party from a third party without such restrictions; (iii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party without such restrictions; or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without any breach of this Agreement or access to or use of the Confidential Information. |
| The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent disclosure is required by law, regulation or court order, provided that the Receiving Party promptly notifies the Disclosing Party of any such order, to the extent permitted, and takes reasonable steps to challenge or limit the steps of any required disclosure. The Parties agree that any material breach of Section 2 (License Restriction) or this Section 8 (Confidential Information) will cause irreparable harm and that injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction is appropriate to prevent any initial or continuing breach of such Sections, in addition to any other remedies to which such Party may be entitled. |
|
Any information derived from Confidential Information shall also be deemed Confidential Information for purposes of the Agreement. These restrictions shall terminate five (5) years after the expiration or termination of the Agreement, but shall not apply to Confidential Information that the receiving party can substantiate by contemporaneous written evidence:
