2. SUBSCRIPTION

2.1      Order Mechanism. Each Subscription will be obtained solely by execution or acceptance of an Order. Pursuant to execution of an Order and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Customer’s payment of all applicable Fees, OutSystems will provide the Subscription to Customer specified in the Order during the Subscription Term. Customer may order multiple Subscriptions by executing additional Orders. Each Order is deemed to be a discrete contract, separate from each other Order, unless expressly stated otherwise in the applicable Order. In the event of a direct conflict between any Order and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Order will prevail only with respect to that Order and only if the Order is agreed to by each party. Orders may be entered under this Agreement by and between (a) OutSystems or an Affiliate of OutSystems; and (b) Customer or an Affiliate of Customer. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Customer accepts an Order by submitting a purchase order, then regardless of whether OutSystems acknowledges, accepts or performs under such purchase order, OutSystems expressly rejects any terms on such purchase order that are additional to, or inconsistent, with the terms of this Agreement or the applicable Order. 

2.2      Subscription Term. The Subscription ordered by Customer shall commence on the start date specified in the applicable Order and shall continue in effect until the end date specified in the applicable Order (the “Initial Subscription Term”). For Initial Subscription Terms which are committed for multiple years, each individual committed year may be listed as a separate line item in the applicable Order for administrative convenience only. Except as otherwise specified in the applicable Order, the Subscription Term shall automatically renew for additional periods equal to the Initial Subscription Term (each, a “Renewal Subscription Term”) at the renewal Fees set forth in the applicable Order, or if no renewal Fees have been agreed in the applicable Order, those set forth in the renewal notice sent to Customer at least 60 (sixty) days prior to the end of the then-current Subscription Term, unless either Party gives the other Party notice of non-renewal at least 30 (thirty) days before the end of the then-current Subscription Term.

2.3      Upgrades. If a New Software Version is released during a Subscription Term, and Customer has paid the Fees, the New Software Version will be made available by OutSystems to the Customer.

2.4      Subscription Sold Through Resellers and Third-Party Commercial Marketplaces. The Parties agree that Customer may purchase Software through resellers or via a third-party commercial marketplace, the use of which will be governed by this Agreement. Software purchased through a reseller or a third-party commercial marketplace, including multi-year Subscriptions, is not subject to cancellation by Customer. Where Customer purchases Software through a reseller, the reseller will enter into an Order with OutSystems that shows Customer as the “ship to” party and reseller as the “bill to” party. Reseller and Customer will enter into a separate agreement setting forth the fees to be paid by Customer to reseller for such Subscription. OutSystems agrees that, subject to receiving payment from the reseller, it shall be directly responsible to Customer, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for providing the Subscriptions under a relevant Order. Customer acknowledges that OutSystems will not be responsible for the obligations of any reseller to Customer under such separate agreement, for the acts or omissions of reseller, or for any third-party products or services furnished to Customer by any reseller. For the avoidance of doubt, payment and taxes will be addressed in the agreement between reseller and Customer, and Sections 5.1 (Fees) and 5.2 (Payment) of this Agreement are not applicable to Subscriptions sold through resellers or third-party commercial marketplaces.

3.4      Manner of Use. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Order, Customer agrees not to use or permit use of the Software to display, store, process or transmit any Customer Content that may: (i) menace or harass any person or cause damage or injury to any person or property; (ii) involve the publication of any material that is false, defamatory, harassing or obscene; (iii) violate privacy rights or promote bigotry, racism, hatred or harm; (iv) constitute unsolicited bulk e-mail, “junk mail”, “spam” or chain letters; (v) constitute an infringement of intellectual property or other proprietary rights; or (vi) otherwise violate applicable laws, ordinances or regulations. If OutSystems receives information that Customer is in violation of any of the foregoing restrictions, OutSystems will notify Customer, and Customer will promptly take appropriate action to resolve such violation. If Customer does not take the required action in accordance with the above, OutSystems reserves the right, but has no obligation, to take remedial action if Customer violates the foregoing restrictions. OutSystems shall have no liability to Customer in the event that OutSystems takes such action.

3.5      Customer’s Content and Applications. As necessary for OutSystems (i) to provide Customer with the Support and Updates; and (ii) to operate, manage and improve the Software, Customer grants to OutSystems the right and a license to host, copy, transmit and display Customer Content and Applications in accordance with this Agreement and limited to such purposes only.

This Agreement, including all addenda (if any) and all Orders, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes and replaces all prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements, written or oral, regarding such subject matter. No amendment to, supplement or modification of this Agreement will be binding unless in writing and signed by duly authorized representatives of both Parties.

The Customer acknowledges and agrees that it has had the opportunity to review all the documents contained in a URL prior to executing this Agreement, which it can print for its internal records.

12.5      Export Laws. Customer agrees that Customer’s use of the Software (including related Documentation), and Professional Services will comply with all applicable export control and trade sanctions laws, rules and regulations, including the regulations promulgated by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”) and the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) (collectively, "Export Laws"). Customer represents and warrants that Customer is not (i) located or resident in a country or territory that is subject to comprehensive U.S. trade sanctions or other significant trade restrictions (including, without limitation, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea region, Donetsk People’s Republic region, and Luhansk People’s Republic region of Ukraine) (collectively, the “Sanctioned Countries”); or (ii) identified on any U.S. government restricted party lists (including without limitation the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List, Foreign Sanctions Evaders List, and Sectoral Sanctions Identifications List, administered by OFAC, and the Denied Party List, Entity List and Unverified List, administered by BIS) (collectively, the “Restricted Party Lists”). Customer further certifies that Customer will not, directly or indirectly, export, re-export, transfer or otherwise use the Software (nor any direct product thereof) and/or the Professional Services in violation of the Export Laws, or with any purpose prohibited by the same Export Laws, in any Sanctioned Country, to any person or entity on a Restricted Party List, or for any nuclear, chemical, missile or biological weapons related end uses. Customer acknowledges that the Software and/or Professional Services, or any feature or part thereof, may not be available for use in all jurisdictions and that Customer is responsible for complying with applicable Export Laws wherever Customer uses the Software and/or Professional Services. Notwithstanding Section 8.2 above, OutSystems shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, without notice and without liability, for any perceived or actual breach of this clause.

12.6      Usage Data. The Parties agree that OutSystems and its Affiliates may collect and use technical data related to the use of the Software, its performance, configuration and environment (“Usage Data”) for statistical purposes, to improve the Software, and for compliance verification. The confidentiality obligation set forth in Section 7 (“Confidentiality”) shall apply to the collection and use of such data.

12.7      Personal Data. In the event OutSystems has access to Personal Data through the execution of this Agreement, it shall act as Customer’s data processor for the processing thereof, and shall process any Personal Data at all times in full compliance with the applicable data protection laws. The Parties agree that such processing shall be carried out in accordance with the data processing agreement as defined at https://www.outsystems.com/legal/master-subscription-agreement/data-processing-agreement, incorporated by reference into this Agreement, which the Parties hereto agree to be binding upon them and that, within its scope, shall prevail over the Agreement.

12.8      Suggestions, Ideas and Feedback. Customer and its Affiliates, and their respective employees, contractors and other agents, may, in their sole discretion, choose to provide suggestions, ideas and/or feedback (collectively, “Feedback”) to OutSystems with respect to the Subscription. OutSystems may use the Feedback perpetually and irrevocably for the purpose of improving its products and services, without compensation or accounting to Customer, provided that the Feedback (i) does not contain Personal Data, (ii) does not constitute the Confidential Information of Customer, and (iii) does not identify Customer as the source of the Feedback. Any Feedback is provided by Customer “as is” without warranty of any kind.

12.9      Notices. Any notice, consent, approval, or other communication intended to have legal effect to be given under this Agreement (“Notices”) must be in writing and will be delivered (as elected by the Party giving such notice): (i) if provided to OutSystems, by email to legal@outsystems.com, or if provided to Customer to the email address of the Customer provided in the Order under the “ship to” address; (ii) by registered mail; or (iii) by overnight courier with proof of signature upon delivery. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all Notices will be deemed effective on the date of receipt (or if delivery is refused, the date of such refusal) if delivered by registered mail and at 9.00 am of the next business day after the date of the transmission by email. Notices under this Agreement will be sent to the contact and addresses set forth in the signature sections of this Agreement and/or in the applicable Order. Either Party may change the address to which Notices shall be sent by giving Notice to the other Party in the manner provided in this Section 12.9. Notices shall be written in the English language.

12.10      Relationship of Parties. The Parties are independent contractors, not agents, employees or joint ventures of one another, and do not have any authority to bind the other Party, by contract or otherwise, to any obligation. Neither Party will represent to the contrary, either expressly, implicitly, by appearance or otherwise.

12.11      Assignment. This Agreement is not assignable or transferable by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any attempt by either Party to assign or transfer this Agreement without such consent shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, OutSystems may freely assign or transfer this Agreement to any company that is an Affiliate or as a result of a merger or a sale of all or a substantial part of its assets or share capital. In the case of any permitted assignment or transfer of or under this Agreement, this Agreement and any existing Orders shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the successors, executors, heirs, representatives, administrators and assignees of the Parties to this Agreement.

12.12      No Solicitation. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of 6 (six) months thereafter, neither Party shall, either directly or indirectly, solicit the employment of or hire any of the employees of the other Party, excluding the hiring of personnel in response to a general solicitation of employment directed to the public. This promise shall be construed as an agreement independent of, yet ancillary to, any other provision of this Agreement.

12.13      Severability. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement (including all Orders and addenda, if applicable), or portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision of the Agreement will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to affect the intent of the Parties, and the remainder of this Agreement or of the provision will continue in full force and effect, except to the extent such invalid provision or part of provision relates to essential aspects of the Agreement. The Parties agree that such provision or portion thereof shall be substituted by a provision with an equivalent legal and economic effect.

12.14      Force Majeure. No Party shall be liable for, or considered to be in breach of this Agreement on account of, any failure or delay in performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement (except for the payment of money) if such failure or delay is due to acts of God, fires, flood, storm, explosions, earthquakes, acts of war or terrorism, riots, insurrection, pandemic, intervention of any government or authority or any other reason where the failure to perform is beyond the reasonable control of and not caused by the negligence or intentional acts or omissions of the non-performing Party.

12.15      Verification.

12.15.1 Self-Managed Subscription Verifications. For on-premises Software Subscriptions, OutSystems may request an on-site compliance verification no more than once per calendar year. For an on-site compliance verification, Customer shall allow OutSystems to perform such verification in relation to the use of the license under the Agreement. OutSystems shall give Customer a reasonable prior written notice of any on-site compliance verification to be conducted under this provision, which shall not be less than 30 (thirty) days. If a verification or Usage Data reveals that Customer has exceeded the scope of its license(s) grant, OutSystems shall have the right to invoice Customer using the current list price then in effect for such license, counting from the date of the first unauthorized or unlicensed use up to the end of the then current subscription term and/or the date of last usage if used after termination or expiration of the license(s).

12.15.2 OutSystems Hosted Subscription Verifications. For OutSystems hosted Subscriptions, if Customer exceeds its usage under the applicable Order(s) at any time during the Subscription Term or continues to use the Software after expiration of the Subscription, OutSystems may invoice Customer the applicable fees at the then-current list price in effect for such additional usage.

12.16      Waivers of Rights. No waiver will be implied from conduct or failure to enforce or exercise rights under this Agreement, nor will any waiver be effective unless in writing signed by a duly authorized representative on behalf of the Party claimed to have waived. No provision of any purchase order or other form employed or provided by Customer will supersede the terms and conditions of this Agreement and/or Order(s) executed with Customer, and any such document relating to this Agreement and/or Order(s) shall be for administrative purposes only and shall have no legal effect.

12.17      Attribution. Customer agrees that OutSystems may use Customer’s name and logo and indicate that Customer is a client of OutSystems on its website, in any public filings and through its marketing materials, including but not limited to press releases, case studies, white papers and webinars. Any such attribution will be consistent with Customer’s style guidelines or requirements as communicated to OutSystems from time to time.
