2.  ORDERING, PRICING AND PAYMENT.

A Schedule or Quote will be deemed accepted by Customer when Customer places an order by: (i) providing an executed Schedule to RSA, (ii) signing a Quote and returning it to RSA, (iii) issuing an executed purchase order for the Software or Hardware on the Quote referencing this Agreement or the Quote, or (iv) sending an email or other writing accepting the Quote.  RSA may also accept a purchase order referencing this Agreement or the Quote and issued by Customer provided however, this Agreement and any Schedule or Quote shall control in the event that there are different or additional terms set forth in any purchase order submitted by Customer. RSA will issue an invoice upon (i) shipment when Hardware is included, or (ii) when Software is made available to Customer through electronic file transfer or shipment of media containing the Software.  Such invoice will reflect the price for such Software or Hardware as set forth on the Schedule or Quote.  Fees for maintenance services, if any, shall be payable annually, in advance.  Customer shall pay RSA the price stated on the invoice and also pay or reimburse RSA for all related taxes or withholdings, except for those taxes based on RSA’s net income. If Customer is required to withhold taxes, then Customer will forward any withholding receipts to RSA. All amounts are due in US currency and in full thirty (30) days after the date of RSA's invoice, with interest accruing thereafter at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the highest lawful rate.

3. DELIVERY AND INSTALLATION.

A.  Delivery.  Title and risk of loss to the Hardware shall transfer to Customer upon RSA’s delivery to a carrier at RSA’s designated point of shipment ("Delivery"). Unless otherwise agreed, a common carrier shall be specified by RSA. Software may be provided by (i) Delivery of physical media; or (ii) electronic means (when so offered by RSA). If the Hardware has not been sold (for example - a lease or rental transaction), then risk of loss thereto transfers at Delivery, but title does not.

B.  Installation and Acceptance.  RSA’s obligation, if any, to install Software as part of the Software’s licensing fee, is set forth in the Product Notice. Acceptance that Software or Hardware operates in substantial conformity to the Documentation occurs upon Delivery or electronic availability, as applicable. Notwithstanding such acceptance, Customer retains all rights and remedies set forth in Section 5 (WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER) below.

4. LICENSE TERMS.

A.  General License Grant.  Subject to Customer’s compliance with this Agreement, the Product Notice, and payment of all license fees, RSA grants to Customer a nonexclusive and nontransferable (except as otherwise permitted herein) license (with no right to sublicense) to use (i) Software for Customer’s internal business purposes; and (ii) the Documentation for the purpose of supporting Customer’s use of Software or Hardware. Licenses granted to Customer shall, unless otherwise indicated on the Product Notice or quote from RSA or Distributor be perpetual and commence on Delivery of the physical media or the date Customer is notified of electronic availability, as applicable. Documentation is licensed solely for purposes of supporting Customer’s use of Software or Hardware as permitted in this Section. To the extent applicable to Software, Customer may be required to follow RSA’s then current product registration process, if any, to obtain and input an authorization key or license file.

B.  Licensing Models.  Software is licensed for use only in accordance with the commercial terms and restrictions of the Software’s relevant licensing model, which are stated in the Product Notice and/or quote from RSA or Distributor.

C.  License Restrictions.  All Software licenses granted herein are for use of object code only. Customer is permitted to copy Software as necessary to install and run it in accordance with the license, but otherwise for back-up purposes only. Customer may copy Documentation insofar as reasonably necessary in connection with Customer’s authorized internal use of Software. Customer shall not, without RSA's prior written consent (i) use Software in a service bureau, application service provider or similar capacity; or (ii) disclose to any third party the results of any comparative or competitive analyses, benchmark testing or analyses of Software performed by or on behalf of Customer; (iii) make available Software in any form to anyone other than Customer’s employees or contractors; (iv) transfer Software to an Affiliate or a third party; or (v) for any Software that is licensed with Hardware, Customer may only use such Software on the Hardware on which it was provided.

D.  No Combination with Open Source Software. Some third party license terms require that computer code be generally (a) disclosed in source code form to third parties, (b) licensed to third parties for the purpose of making derivative works, or (c) redistributable to third parties at no charge (collectively, "Excluded License Terms"). If RSA grants Customer the right to incorporate, modify, combine or distribute any of the Software licensed hereunder, then Customer shall not incorporate, modify, combine or distribute the Software with any other computer code in a manner that would subject the Software to Excluded License Terms.

E.  Audit Rights.  RSA (including its independent auditors) shall have the right to audit Customer’s usage of Software and Hardware to confirm compliance with the agreed terms. Such audit is subject to reasonable advance notice by RSA and shall not unreasonably interfere with Customer’s business activities. Customer will provide RSA with the support required to perform such audit and will, without prejudice to other rights of RSA, address any non-compliant situations identified by the audit by forthwith procuring additional licenses.

F. Termination.  RSA may terminate licenses for cause, if Customer breaches the terms governing use of Software or Hardware and fails to cure within thirty (30) days after receipt of RSA’s written notice thereof. Upon termination of a license, Customer shall cease all use and return or certify destruction of the applicable Software (including copies) to RSA.

G.  Reserved Rights.  All rights not expressly granted to Customer are reserved. In particular, no title to, or ownership of, the Software is transferred to Customer. Customer shall reproduce and include copyright and other proprietary notices on and in any copies of the Software. Unless expressly permitted by applicable mandatory law, Customer shall not modify, enhance, supplement, create derivative works from, reverse assemble, reverse engineer, decompile or otherwise reduce to human readable form the Software without RSA's prior written consent, nor shall Customer permit any third party to do the same.

5. WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER.

A.  Warranty.  RSA warrants that Software will substantially conform to the applicable Documentation for such Software and that any Hardware provided by RSA will be free from manufacturing defects, malfunctions, errors or other defects in materials and workmanship until the expiration of the applicable warranty period. RSA does not warrant that the operation of Software or Hardware shall be uninterrupted or error free, that all defects can be corrected, or that Software or Hardware meets Customer’s requirements, except if expressly warranted by RSA in its quote. 

B.  Warranty Duration.  Unless otherwise stated on the RSA quote, the warranty period for Software and any Hardware shall (i) be as set forth at the Product Notice; and (ii) commence upon Delivery of the media or Hardware or the date Customer is notified of electronic availability, as applicable.

C.  Customer Remedies.  RSA’s entire liability and Customer’s exclusive remedies under the warranties described in this section shall be for RSA, at its option, to remedy the non-compliance or to replace the affected Software or Hardware. If RSA is unable to effect such within a reasonable time, then RSA shall refund the amount received by RSA for the Software or Hardware concerned. All replaced Software contained on physical media supplied by RSA and Hardware shall be returned to and become the property of RSA. RSA shall have no liability hereunder after expiration of the applicable warranty period. The foregoing shall not void any supplementary remedies made available to Customer by a Distributor, with respect to which RSA shall have no liability or obligation.

D.  Warranty Exclusions.  Warranty does not cover problems that arise from (i) accident or neglect by Customer or any third party; (ii) any third party items or services with which Software or Hardware is used or other causes beyond RSA’s control; (iii) installation, operation or use not in accordance with RSA’s instructions or the applicable Documentation; (iv) use in an environment, in a manner or for a purpose for which Software or Hardware was not designed; or (v) modification, alteration or repair by anyone other than RSA or its authorized representatives;. RSA has no obligation whatsoever for Software or Hardware installed or used beyond the licensed use, or whose original identification marks have been altered or removed.

E.  No Further Warranties.  Except for the warranty set forth herein, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, RSA (INCLUDING ITS SUPPLIERS) MAKES NO OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, WRITTEN OR ORAL. INSOFAR AS PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL OTHER WARRANTIES ARE SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES ARISING BY STATUTE, COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

A.  Limitation on Direct Damages.  RSA’S TOTAL LIABILITY AND CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY CLAIM OF ANY TYPE WHATSOEVER, ARISING OUT OF SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE PROVIDED HEREUNDER, SHALL BE LIMITED TO PROVEN DIRECT DAMAGES CAUSED BY RSA’S SOLE NEGLIGENCE IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED (i) US$1,000,000, FOR DAMAGE TO REAL OR TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY; AND (ii) THE PRICE PAID BY CUSTOMER TO RSA FOR THE SPECIFIC SERVICE (CALCULATED ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, WHEN APPLICABLE) OR SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE FROM WHICH SUCH CLAIM ARISES, FOR DAMAGE OF ANY TYPE NOT IDENTIFIED IN (i) ABOVE OR OTHERWISE EXCLUDED HEREUNDER.

B.  No Indirect Damages.  EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS REGARDING VIOLATION OF RSA’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, NEITHER CUSTOMER NOR RSA SHALL HAVE LIABILITY TO THE OTHER FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES, DATA AND/OR USE), EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF.

C.  Special Exclusion.  IN JURISDICTIONS THAT DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, ALL OR A PORTION OF SECTION 6.A AND/OR 6.B ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY.  CUSTOMER ACKNOWLESGES AND AGREES THAT NO INDEMNITY IS GIVEN WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE.

D.  Limitation Period.  Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the limitation period for claims for damages shall be eighteen (18) months after the cause of action accrues, unless statutory law provides for a shorter limitation period.

E. Suppliers.  The foregoing limitations shall also apply in favor of RSA’s Suppliers.

F. Regular Back-ups. As part of its obligation to mitigate damages, Customer shall take reasonable data back-up measures. In particular, Customer shall provide for a daily back-up process and back-up the relevant data before RSA performs any remedial, upgrade or other works on Customer’s production systems. To the extent RSA’s liability for loss of data is not in any way excluded under this Agreement, RSA shall in such case of data losses only be liable for the typical effort to recover the data which would have accrued if Customer had appropriately backed up its data.

7. EVALUATION PRODUCTS.

A.  This Agreement shall also apply to (i) "Evaluation Software" (meaning the copy of Software which contains this Agreement, including any copies made by or on behalf of Customer, and all Documentation for the foregoing, which are licensed for a limited duration for the specific purpose of evaluation prior to making a final decision on procurement); and Evaluation Hardware (meaning the hardware product that the Evaluation Software is incorporated in or bundled with and all Documentation for the foregoing, which is provided for a limited duration for the specific purpose of evaluation prior to making a final decision on procurement); and (ii) "Beta Test Products" (meaning the Software and/or Hardware that is in a beta phase, including any related Documentation, that RSA may provide to Customer under this Agreement, subject to the remainder of this Section 7. "Evaluation Products" means Evaluation Software, Evaluation Hardware and Beta Test Products.

B.  The particular Evaluation Products, period of use, Installation Site and other transaction-specific conditions shall be as mutually agreed between RSA and Customer and recorded in the form of a Schedule or via an online evaluation request form on an RSA website.

C.  Notwithstanding any deviating terms in this Agreement, the period of use shall be thirty (30) days from date of delivery of the Evaluation Products, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in a Schedule or in an online request form on an RSA website.  All licenses for Evaluation Software expire at the end of the evaluation period.

D.  Customer shall either delete all copies of the Evaluation Software and Beta Test Products or return the Evaluation Products at the end of the evaluation or loan period, or when sooner terminated by RSA for convenience whichever occurs first. Customer shall bear the risk of loss and damage for return of physical media and Evaluation Products, if any, and de-installation.

E.  Customer may use Evaluation Products free of charge, but solely for the purpose of evaluation and not in a production environment.

F. Without prejudice to any other limitations on RSA’s liability set forth in this Agreement (which shall also apply to Evaluation Products), Evaluation Products are provided "AS IS" and any warranty or damage claims against RSA in connection with Evaluation Products are hereby excluded, except in the event of fraud or willful misconduct of RSA.

G.  Unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing by RSA, RSA does not provide maintenance or support for any Evaluation Products. CUSTOMER RECOGNIZES THAT EVALUATION PRODUCTS MAY HAVE DEFECTS OR DEFICIENCIES WHICH CANNOT OR MAY NOT BE CORRECTED BY RSA. RSA shall have no liability to Customer for any action (or any prior related claims) brought by or against Customer alleging that Customer’s sale, use or other disposition of any Evaluation Products infringes any patent, copyright, trade secret or other intellectual property right. In the event of such an action, RSA retains the right to terminate this Agreement and take possession of the Evaluation Products. THIS SECTION STATES RSA’S ENTIRE LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ALLEGED INFRINGEMENTS OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS BY EVALUATION PRODUCTS OR ANY PART OF IT OR ITS OPERATION.

H.  Customer shall treat the Beta Test Products, including the nature and features thereof and materials relating thereto and the results of Customer’s testing and evaluation of the Beta Test Products as RSA’s Confidential Information. Customer agrees that any feedback or ideas it or any of its employees, contractors or customers provided to RSA regarding the Beta Test Products or any suggested improvements thereto will be the exclusive property of RSA. Customer understands that RSA may never release the Beta Test Products as a commercial product.
