shall thereafter be lost, destroyed or damaged Upland shall at the request of the
Licensee replace the same promptly (embodying the relevant part of the Software
or Documentation) subject to the Licensee paying the cost of such replacement. Upland
shall not make any further or additional charge for such replacement.
- Limited Warranty
- Upland warrants that, for a period of one (1) year after delivery (the "Warranty
Period"), the Software will provide the facilities and functions set out in the
Specification when properly used on the equipment in connection with which it was
supplied. A failure of the Software to conform in any material respect with the
Specification is referred to herein as an "Error" or "Defect".
- Upland's sole obligations under the warranty set forth in Section 5.1 shall be to
use its commercially reasonable efforts to correct or cause to be corrected any
reproducible Error or Defect found in the Software during the applicable Warranty
Period, provided that Upland shall have no obligations or liability hereunder unless
Licensee provides Upland with written notice providing a documented example of the
Error or Defect in question no later than the expiration of the Warranty Period.
Licensee shall cooperate in providing detailed information concerning any such Error
or Defect.
- The warranty made by Upland hereunder is, and all obligations of Upland under this
Section shall be, contingent upon Licensee's use of the Software in accordance with
the Documentation, the provisions of this Agreement, and specific instructions relating
thereto furnished by Upland consistent with the terms of the Agreement. To the extent
that any of the following cause an Error or Defect, no such warranties or obligations
shall apply to Upland: (i) Licensee has used the Materials in a manner inconsistent
with the provisions of this Agreement; (ii) the Materials have been damaged by negligence
or misuse by Licensee or by accident, fire, casualty, or other external causes;
(iii) the Error or Defect is determined to be caused by third party products, the
Licensee hardware or operating system software, or Licensee's failure to maintain
the proper operating environment; or (iv) the Error or Defect is determined to be
caused by Licensee data or Licensee's method of data input.
- Upland DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED
OR ERROR FREE, THAT ALL DEFICIENCIES, ERRORS, DEFECTS OR NONCONFORMITIES WILL BE
CORRECTED, OR THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL MEET LICENSEE’S SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS. EXCEPT
TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE, THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS,
IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,
QUALITY, ORIGINALITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
- The Licensee acknowledges that the Software has not been prepared to meet the Licensee’s
individual requirements and that it is therefore the responsibility of the Licensee
to ensure that the facilities and functions described in the Specification meet
its requirements. Upland shall not be liable for any failure of the Software to provide
any facility or function not specified in the Specification.
- The Licensee hereby warrants to Upland that the Licensee has not been induced to
enter into this Agreement by any prior representations or warranties, whether oral
or in writing, except as specifically contained in this Agreement and the Licensee
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to claim damages
for any misrepresentation not contained in this Agreement or for breach of any warranty
not contained herein (unless such misrepresentation or warranty was made fraudulently)
and/or to rescind this Agreement.
- The Licensee expressly agrees and acknowledges that no condition, warranty or representation
of any kind is or has been given by or on behalf of Upland in respect of the Software
or the Source materials except as set out in this Agreement and accordingly the
Licensee confirms that it has not, in entering into this Agreement, relied on any
condition, warranty or representation by Upland or any person on Upland’s behalf,
express or implied, whether arising by law or otherwise in relation to the Materials
or the Source materials, including, without limitation, conditions, warranties or
representations as to the description, quality or fitness for any purpose, of the
Materials or the Source materials and the benefit of any such condition, warranty
or representation by Upland is hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waived by the
Licensee. To the extent permissible under applicable law, the Licensee hereby also
waives any rights which it may have in tort in respect of any of the matters referred
to above and irrevocably agrees that Upland shall have no greater liability in tort
in respect of any such matter than it would have in contract after taking account
of all of the foregoing exclusions. No third party making any representation or
warranty relating to the Materials or the Source materials is the agent of Upland
nor has any such third party authority to bind Upland thereby.
- Proprietary Rights
- The Materials, the Source Materials, the Documentation, and all other work product,
materials, or information related, in any way, which has, or will, come into possession
or knowledge of the Licensee in connection with, or related to, this Agreement (collectively,

or its licensors. Upland reserves the right to grant licenses to use the Materials
and Source Materials to third parties.
- Upland owns the exclusive right, title, and interest in and to the Proprietary Information
and any Intellectual Property Rights embodied or represented in the Proprietary
Information or associated therewith. To the extent that title to any of the Proprietary
Information or Intellectual Property Rights may not, by operation of law, vest in
Upland, all right, title, and interest therein is hereby irrevocably assigned to
Upland by Licensee without further consideration. Licensee expressly acknowledges

at Upland's sole discretion; or (f) prepare any derivative works of the Software
or Source Materials. If Licensee breaches this Section, Upland shall own exclusively
all right, title, and interest in and to any copies, modifications, or derivative
works prepared by Licensee or its agents.

need to know the same;
b. the Licensee’s auditors or as otherwise required by law;
c. any person who is from time to time appointed by the Licensee to
maintain any equipment on which the Software is being used (in accordance with the
terms of the License) and then only to the extent necessary to enable such person
properly to maintain such equipment.
- The Licensee undertakes to ensure that any person to whom the Proprietary Information
is disclosed does not use it or disclose it except as permitted by this Agreement

actions, liabilities or damages which Upland may sustain or incur as a result of
a breach of this obligation.
- Indemnification
- Licensee agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Upland and its subsidiaries,
affiliated companies, and their directors, officers, employees, agents and members,
against all actions, proceedings, losses, costs, damages, expenses, claims and demands,

any breach of this Agreement by Licensee or by any of Licensee's agents or employees,
or in connection with the use of the Software by Licensee or any of its agents or
employees in a manner which is inconsistent with the Documentation, whether or not
such use was authorized by Licensee. Upland reserves the right to approve Licensee's
counsel to defend any such claims, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld,
and to approve any settlement agreement. Upland also reserves the right, at its own
expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject
to indemnification by Licensee hereunder.
- Upland agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Licensee and its subsidiaries,
affiliated companies, and their directors, officers, employees, agents and members,
against any damages awarded against, and costs payable by, the Licensee in connection
a successful claim or settlement that the normal use or possession of the Materials
or the Source Materials (other than any Licensee Modifications or the Source Materials
relating thereto) infringes the Intellectual Property Rights of any third party;
provided that Upland is given immediate and complete record of such claim, that the
Licensee does not prejudice Upland’s defense of such claim, that the Licensee gives
Upland all reasonable assistance with such claim and that the claim does not arise
as a result of the use of the Materials in combination with any equipment or programs
not supplied or approved by Upland or any Licensee modifications or the Source Materials
relating thereto. Upland shall have the right to replace or change all or any part
of the Materials in order to avoid any infringement. The foregoing states the entire
liability of Upland to the Licensee in respect of the infringement of the Intellectual
Property Rights of any third party.

giving at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the other party.

breach;
(b) the Licensee permanently discontinues the use of the Material; or
(c) the Licensee shall have a receiver or administrative receiver appointed

effect or if the Licensee shall enter into any voluntary arrangement with its creditors

writing to Upland that they have been destroyed. The Licensee shall also cause the
Software to be erased from the Equipment and shall certify to Upland that the same
has been done.

License whether in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Upland.
