|
||
Submitted Modified Software as The Qt Company sees fit at its free and absolute
|
||
discretion. For the sake of clarity, the Licensee shall have no obligation to

|
||
substantial functionality is provided by software build with Licensed

4. THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE
|
||
|
||
The Licensed Software may provide links to third party libraries or code

Party Software does not comprise part of the Licensed Software. In some cases,
|
||
access to Third Party Software may be included in the Licensed Software. Such
|
||
Third Party Software will be listed in the ".../src/3rdparty" source tree
|
||
delivered with the Licensed Software or documented in the Licensed Software, as
|
||
such may be amended from time to time. Licensee acknowledges that use or
|
||
distribution of Third Party Software is in all respects subject to applicable
|
||
license terms of applicable third party right holders. 5. PRE-RELEASE CODE
|
||
|
||
The Licensed Software may contain pre-release code and functionality marked or
|
||
otherwise stated as "Technology Preview", "Alpha", "Beta" or similar

|
||
new functionalities. The pre-release code may not be at the level of performance
|
||
and compatibility of a final, generally available, product offering of the
|
||
Licensed Software. The pre-release parts of the Licensed Software may not
|
||
operate correctly, may contain errors and may be substantially modified by The
|
||
Qt Company prior to the first commercial product release, if any. The Qt Company
|
||
is under no obligation to make pre-release code commercially available, or
|
||
provide any Support or Updates relating thereto. The Qt Company assumes no
|
||
liability whatsoever regarding any pre-release code, but any use thereof is
|
||
exclusively at Licensee's own risk and expense.

||
is".

|
||
Software shall be limited, at The Qt Company's option, to correction of the
|
||
error, replacement of the Licensed Software or return of the applicable fees
|
||
paid for the defective Licensed Software for the time period during which the

|
||
8. SUPPORT, UPDATES AND ONLINE SERVICES
|
||
|
||
Licensee will be eligible to receive Support and Updates and to use the Online
|
||
Services during the Support Term. Unless otherwise decided by The Company at its

9. CONFIDENTIALITY
|
||
|
||
Each Party acknowledges that during the Term of this Agreement each Party may
|
||
receive information about the other Party's business, business methods, business
|
||
plans, customers, business relations, technology, and other information,
|
||
including the terms of this Agreement, that is confidential and of great value
|
||
to the other Party, and the value of which would be significantly reduced if
|
||
disclosed to third parties ("Confidential Information"). Accordingly, when a
|
||
Party (the "Receiving Party") receives Confidential Information from the other
|
||
Party (the "Disclosing Party"), the Receiving Party shall only disclose such
|
||
information to employees and Contractors on a need to know basis, and shall
|
||
cause its employees and employees of its Affiliates to: (i) maintain any and all
|
||
Confidential Information in confidence; (ii) not disclose the Confidential
|
||
Information to a third party without the Disclosing Party's prior written
|
||
approval; and (iii) not, directly or indirectly, use the Confidential
|
||
Information for any purpose other than for exercising its rights and fulfilling
|
||
its responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement. Each Party shall take
|
||
reasonable measures to protect the Confidential Information of the other Party,
|
||
which measures shall not be less than the measures taken by such Party to
|
||
protect its own confidential and proprietary information.
|
||
|
||
Obligation of confidentiality shall not apply to information that (i) is or
|
||
becomes generally known to the public through no act or omission of the
|
||
Receiving Party; (ii) was in the Receiving Party's lawful possession prior to
|
||
the disclosure hereunder and was not subject to limitations on disclosure or
|
||
use; (iii) is developed independently by employees or Contractors of the
|
||
Receiving Party or other persons working for the Receiving Party who have not
|
||
had access to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, as proven by
|
||
the written records of the Receiving Party; (iv) is lawfully disclosed to the
|
||
Receiving Party without restrictions, by a third party not under an obligation
|
||
of confidentiality; or (v) the Receiving Party is legally compelled to disclose,
|
||
in which case the Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing Party of such
|
||
compelled disclosure and assert the privileged and confidential nature of the
|
||
information and cooperate fully with the Disclosing Party to limit the scope of
|
||
disclosure and the dissemination of disclosed Confidential Information to the
|
||
minimum extent necessary.
|
||
|
||
The obligations under this Section 9 shall continue to remain in force for a
|
||
period of five (5) years after the last disclosure, and, with respect to trade
|
||
secrets, for so long as such trade secrets are protected under applicable trade
|
||
secret laws.
|
||
|
||
10. FEES, DELIVERY AND PAYMENT
|
||
|
||
10.1 License Fees
|
||
|
||
License Fees are described in The Qt Company's standard price list, quote or
|
||
Purchase Order confirmation or in an appendix hereto, as the case may be. The
|
||
License Fees shall not be refunded or claimed as a credit, even on the ground
|
||
that Distribution Licenses are not used, i.e. Redistributables are not actually
|
||
distributed corresponding to the Distribution Licenses purchased, or for any
|
||
other reason.
|
||
|
||
10.2 Ordering Licenses
|
||
|
||
Licensee may purchase Development Licenses and Distribution Licenses pursuant to
|
||
agreed pricing terms or, if no specific pricing terms have been agreed upon, at
|
||
The Qt Company's standard pricing terms applicable at the time of purchase.
|
||
|
||
Licensee shall submit all purchase orders for Development Licenses and
|
||
Distribution Licenses to The Qt Company by email or any other method acceptable
|
||
to The Qt Company (each such order is referred to herein as a "Purchase Order")
|
||
for confirmation, whereupon the Purchase Order shall become binding between the
|
||
Parties.
|
||
|
||
10.3 Distribution
|
||
|
||
License Packs Unless otherwise agreed, the Distribution Licenses are bought by
|
||
way of Distribution License Packs.
|
||
|
||
Upon due payment of the ordered Distribution License Pack(s), the Licensee will
|
||
have an account of Distribution Licenses available for installing, bundling or
|
||
integrating (all jointly "installing") the Redistributables with the Devices or
|
||
for otherwise distributing the Redistributables in accordance with this
|
||
Agreement.
|
||
|
||
Each time Licensee "installs" or distributes a copy of Redistributables, then
|
||
one Distribution License is used, and Licensee's account of available
|
||
Distribution Licenses is decreased accordingly.
|
||
|
||
Licensee may "install" copies of the Redistributables so long as Licensee has
|
||
Distribution Licenses remaining on its account.
|
||
|
||
Redistributables will be deemed to have been "installed" into a Device when one
|
||
of the following circumstances shall have occurred: a) the Redistributables
|
||
have been loaded onto the Device and used outside of the Licensee's premises or
|
||
b) the Device has been fully tested and placed into Licensee's inventory (or
|
||
sold) for the first time (i.e., Licensee will not be required to use (or pay
|
||
for) more than one Distribution License for each individual Device, e.g. in a
|
||
situation where a Device is returned to Licensee's inventory after delivery to
|
||
a distributor or sale to a Customer). In addition, if Licensee includes a
|
||
back-up copy of the Redistributables on a CD-ROM or other storage medium
|
||
along with the product, that backup copy of the Redistributables will not
|
||
be deemed to have been "installed" and will not require an additional
|
||
Distribution License.
|
||
|
||
10.4 Payment Terms
|
||
License Fees and any other charges under this Agreement shall be paid by
|
||
Licensee no later than thirty (30) days from the date of the applicable invoice
|
||
from The Qt Company.
|
||
|
||
The Qt Company will submit an invoice to Licensee after the date of this
|
||
Agreement and/or after The Qt Company receives a Purchase Order from Licensee.
|
||
A late payment charge of the lower of (a) one percent per month; or (b) the
|
||
interest rate stipulated by applicable law, shall be charged on any unpaid
|
||
balances that remain past due.
|
||
|
||
The Qt Company shall have the right to suspend, terminate or withhold grants of
|
||
all rights to the Licensed Software hereunder, including but not limited to the
|
||
Developer License, Distribution License, and Support, should Licensee fail to
|
||
make payment in a timely fashion.
|
||
|
||
10.5 Taxes
|
||
All License Fees and other charges payable hereunder are gross amounts but
|
||
exclusive of any value added tax, use tax, sales tax and other taxes, duties or
|
||
tariffs ("Taxes"). Such applicable Taxes shall be paid by Licensee, or, where
|
||
applicable, in lieu of payment of such Taxes, Licensee shall provide an
|
||
exemption certificate to The Qt Company and any applicable authority.
|
||
|
||
11 RECORD-KEEPING AND REPORTING OBLIGATIONS; AUDIT RIGHTS
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||

|
||
Licensee's activities related to the use of Licensed Software and distribution
|
||
of Redistributables. The records shall be adequate to determine Licensee's
|
||
compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and to demonstrate the number
|
||
of Designated Users and Redistributables distributed by Licensee. The records
|
||
shall conform to good accounting practices reasonably acceptable to The Qt
|
||
Company.
|
||
|
||
Licensee shall, within thirty (30) days from the end of each calendar
|
||
quarter, deliver to The Qt Company a report detailing the number of Designated
|
||
Users and copies of Redistributables distributed by Licensee during that
|
||
calendar quarter, and also detailing the number of undistributed copies of
|
||
Redistributables made by Licensee and remaining in its account (i.e.,
|
||
undistributed copies for which Distribution Licenses have been or need to be
|
||
obtained from The Qt Company). Such report shall contain such other information
|
||
as The Qt Company shall reasonably require from time to time.
|
||
|
||
11.2. The Qt Company's Audit Rights
|
||
|
||

|
||
expense, audit Licensee with respect to the use of the Redistributables, but
|
||
not more frequently than once during each 6-month period. Such audit may be
|
||
conducted by mail, electronic means or through an in-person visit to
|
||
Licensee's place of business. Any such in-person audit shall be conducted
|
||
during regular business hours at Licensee's facilities and shall not
|
||
unreasonably interfere with Licensee's business activities. The Qt Company or
|
||
the independent auditor acting on behalf of The Qt Company shall be entitled to
|
||
inspect Licensee's Records. All such Licensee's Records and use thereof shall be
|
||
subject to an obligation of confidentiality under this Agreement.
|
||
|
||
If an audit reveals that Licensee is using the Licensed Software beyond scope of
|
||
the licenses Licensee has paid for, Licensee agrees to immediately pay The Qt
|
||
Company any amounts owed for such unauthorized use.
|
||
|
||
In addition, in the event the audit reveals a material violation of the terms of
|
||
this Agreement (underpayment of more than 5% of License Fees shall always be
|
||
deemed a material violation for purposes of this section), then the Licensee
|
||
shall pay The Qt Company's reasonable cost of conducting such audit.
|
||
|
||

|
||
receiver, administrative receiver or officer appointed over the whole or a

|
||
