Customer will be responsible for providing all Customer Data to Luminary and will provide such Customer Data in a format consistent with the requirements set forth in the Documentation (or as otherwise specified by Luminary).

Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy, content and legality of all Customer Data. Customer represents and warrants to Luminary that Customer has sufficient rights in the Customer Data to grant the rights granted to Luminary in Section 2.1 and that the Customer Data does not infringe or violate the intellectual property, publicity, privacy or other rights of any third party.

 

2.6.2.     User ID and Password Protection. Customer will require that all permitted Users keep user ID and password information strictly confidential and not share such information with any unauthorized person. Luminary will not have any liability under this Agreement for actions taken using Customer’s user IDs and passwords, including any unauthorized use or access caused by misuse or misappropriation of such user IDs and passwords. Customer will be responsible for restricting access by any User who is no longer authorized to access the Service.

 

2.7.                  Data Privacy. Each party shall comply with the Data Processing Addendum located at http://legal.luminarycloud.com/dpa.html (or such successor URL as may be designated by Luminary) (“DPA”), which is incorporated herein by this reference.

 

3.              Intellectual Property

 

3.1.                  Luminary Technology. Customer agrees that Luminary or its suppliers (including, but not limited to, Siemens Industry Software Inc. (“Siemens”)), retain all right, title and interest (including all patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret and other intellectual property rights) in and to the Platform, the Service, all Documentation and Client Software, any Technical Services deliverables (unless otherwise expressly provided by the applicable SOW), any Third-Party Applications, and any and all related and underlying technology and documentation; and any derivative works, modifications, or improvements of any of the foregoing, including any Feedback that may be incorporated (collectively, “Luminary Technology”). Except for the express limited rights set forth in this Agreement, no right, title or interest in any Luminary Technology is granted to Customer. Further, Customer acknowledges that the Service is offered as an online, hosted solution, and that Customer has no right to obtain a copy of the underlying computer code for the Service, except (if applicable) for the Client Software in downloadable software formats chosen by and made available by Luminary in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Luminary may freely use and incorporate into Luminary’s products and services any suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations, corrections, or other feedback provided by Customer or by any users of the Services relating to Luminary’s products or services (“Feedback”).

 

3.2.                  Service Data and Contributed Data. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Customer agrees that Luminary may collect Service Data and Contributed Data, and Luminary may use Service Data and Contributed Data to develop, improve, support, and operate its products and services during and after the term of this Agreement. This Section does not give Luminary the right to identify Customer as the source of any Service Data or Contributed Data without written permission from Customer. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section does not change the confidential nature of Contributed Data.

 

3.3.                  Marketing. Luminary may use and display Customer’s name, logo, trademarks, and service marks on Luminary’s website and in Luminary’s marketing materials in connection with identifying Customer as a customer of Luminary. Upon Customer’s written request, Luminary will promptly remove any such marks from Luminary’s website, and, to the extent commercially feasible, Luminary’s marketing materials.

 

4.              Confidential Information. Each party (as “Receiving Party”) will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care) to (i) not use any Confidential Information of the disclosing party (the “Disclosing Party”) for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections not materially less protective of the Confidential Information than those herein. The Receiving Party may make disclosures to the extent required by law or court order, provided the Receiving Party notifies the Disclosing Party in advance and cooperates in any effort to obtain confidential treatment. The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the Receiving Party the Disclosing Party will be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law.

 

5.              Subscription Types, Usage, Fees, and Renewals

 

5.1.                  Generally. Customer will be charged for, and agrees to pay, the sum of (i) Customer’s monthly Usage Fees (defined in Section 5.2 below), and (ii) any other Fees incurred by Customer for services described in the Luminary Cloud Service Consumption Table. Charges will be made in accordance with Customer’s election on the applicable Order Form, on one of the following two bases: (a) On-Demand, whereby Customer will be charged monthly for Fees based on Customer’s usage of the Services during the preceding month (an “On-Demand Subscription”); or (b) Prepaid, whereby Customer will select an amount of prepaid funds to add to their account for the Subscription Term upon execution of the applicable Order Form and will be charged for those prepaid funds at the commencement of the Subscription Term (a “Prepaid Subscription”). For the avoidance of doubt, Prepaid Subscriptions terminate upon the earlier of (a) the expiration date provided on the applicable Order Form; or (b) the exhaustion of the prepaid funds as provided by the applicable Order Form.

 

5.2.                  Usage Fees. Usage Fees are calculated as set forth in the Luminary Cloud Service Consumption Table.

 

5.3.                  Monthly Usage Limits. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Customer’s use of the Service may be limited or capped by Luminary in its sole discretion.

5.5.                  Free Usage. Luminary may offer Customer promotional credits or other free use of the Service. Any such credits or free use will be credited against Customer’s monthly Fees. Promotional credits or other free use of the Service have no cash value, are non-transferable and non-refundable.

 

5.6.                  Evaluation Periods. If Customer signed up for the Service under an Evaluation Term, Luminary will make the Service available to Customer on an evaluation basis free of charge until the earlier of  (a) the end of the number of days specified in an Order Form, if applicable, from the execution date of such Order Form; (b) the exhaustion of the promotional funds provided by Luminary in its sole discretion as part of the Evaluation Term; or (c) the start date of any Subscription Term.

 

 

6.              Billing; Payment Methods; Taxes

 

6.1.                  Recurring Billing for On-Demand Services. By selecting an On-Demand Subscription on an applicable Order Form, using the Service, and providing or designating a Payment Method or otherwise designating a date to start invoice-based billing, Customer hereby authorizes Luminary (or its designee) to issue invoices and collect payments (including charging Customer’s Payment Method) on the first day of each month for all applicable Fees during the previous month. Customer acknowledges that the amount billed each month may vary depending on Customer’s use of the Service, and authorizes Luminary to issue invoices and collect payments for such varying amounts. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or by the Luminary Cloud Service Consumption Table, all payment obligations are non-cancelable, and Fees are non-refundable.

 

6.2.                  Billing for Pre-Paid Services. By selecting a Prepaid Subscription and any amount of prepaid funds on an applicable Order Form, Customer hereby authorizes Luminary (or its designee) to issue invoices and collect payments (including charging Customer’s Payment Method), starting on the first day of the Subscription Term for the amount designated by Customer on the applicable Order Form. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or by the Luminary Cloud Service Consumption Table, all payment obligations are non-cancelable, and Fees are non-refundable. Unless otherwise provided by a subsequently-executed Order Form, any prepaid funds left unused by Customer at the end of a Subscription Term will be automatically forfeited by Customer.

 

6.3.                  Payment Methods. At any time, Customer may change its Payment Method information via the online administrative portal in the Service (to the extent that the desired Payment Method options are available & configurable in the Service) or by emailing a billing support request to Luminary at accounting@luminarycloud.com, or may terminate the Subscription Term in accordance with Section 7.2 (Termination). If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, Customer remains responsible for any uncollected amounts and authorizes Luminary to continue billing the Payment Method, as it may be updated. Customer acknowledges that for certain Payment Methods, the issuer of Customer’s Payment Method may charge a foreign transaction fee or other charges.

 

6.4.                  Taxes. The Fees do not include Taxes. Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases hereunder other than taxes based on income, property, or employees of Luminary. If Luminary has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this Section, Luminary will invoice Customer and Customer will pay that amount unless Customer provides Luminary with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

 

7.              Term and Termination

 

7.1.                  Term. This Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date and will remain in effect until terminated in accordance with the terms herein.

7.2.                  Automatic Renewal. Unless otherwise provided by a subsequently-executed Order Form, at the end of a Subscription Term: (i) an On-Demand Subscription shall automatically renew for an additional one (1) month term unless either party gives the other party written notice of nonrenewal at least twenty (20) days prior to the expiration of the then-current Subscription Term, (ii) a Prepaid Subscription shall automatically convert into an On-Demand Subscription for the same Support Level and edition of the Platform, with a one (1) month Subscription Term and no Luminary Credit Discount, unless either party gives written notice of nonrenewal at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the then-current Subscription Term.

8.              Warranty

 

8.1.                  Service Warranty. Luminary warrants that the Service will operate in substantial conformity with the applicable Documentation. In the event of a breach of this warranty, Luminary will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the reported non-conformity, at no charge to Customer, or if Luminary determines such remedy to be impracticable, either party may terminate. The foregoing shall be Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of the warranty set forth in this Section. This warranty will not apply: (i) during any Evaluation Term, or (ii) unless Customer makes a claim within thirty (30) days of the date on which Customer first noticed the non-conformity, or (iii) if the error was caused by misuse, unauthorized modifications, or third-party hardware, software, or services, or (iv) to any Early Access Services, or (v) to any Third-Applications.

 

8.2.                  Warranty Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, EACH SERVICE, THE CLIENT SOFTWARE, ANY THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS, AND ALL TECHNICAL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND LUMINARY MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NONINFRINGEMENT. LUMINARY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE USE OF ANY SERVICE OR THIRD-PARTY APPLICATION WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, NOR DOES LUMINARY WARRANT THAT IT WILL REVIEW THE CUSTOMER DATA FOR ACCURACY OR THAT IT WILL PRESERVE OR MAINTAIN THE CUSTOMER DATA WITHOUT LOSS. LUMINARY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DELAYS, INTERRUPTIONS, SERVICE FAILURES OR OTHER PROBLEMS INHERENT IN USE OF THE INTERNET AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS. LUMINARY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS FOR ANY HARMS OR DAMAGES CAUSED BY ANY THIRD-PARTY HOSTING PROVIDERS AND DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR THE SUPPLIERS OF THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS. CUSTOMER MAY HAVE OTHER STATUTORY RIGHTS, BUT THE DURATION OF STATUTORILY REQUIRED WARRANTIES, IF ANY, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE SHORTEST PERIOD PERMITTED BY LAW. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, THIS SECTION 8.2 SHALL NOT APPLY TO ANY EVALUATION PERIOD.

 

8.3.                  Support and Availability. During the Subscription Term, Luminary will provide Customer support and service levels for the applicable Service selected at registration in accordance with the Support and Service Levels Page.

 

9.              Technical Services. If Customer procures Technical Services, the scope of Technical Services will be as set forth in a mutually agreed Statement of Work referencing this Agreement (“SOW”). Customer will pay Luminary at the rates set forth in the SOW (or, if not specified, at Luminary’s then-standard rates) for such Technical Services. Customer will reimburse Luminary for actual reasonable travel and lodging expenses approved in advance by Customer. Customer may use anything delivered as part of the Technical Services in support of authorized use of the applicable Service and subject to the terms regarding Customer’s rights to use the Service set forth in Section 1 (The Service) and the applicable SOW, but Luminary will retain all right, title and interest in and to any such work product, code and deliverables and any derivative, enhancement or modification thereof created by or on behalf of Luminary except as expressly provided in the applicable SOW.

 

10.           Indemnification

 

10.1.               Indemnification by Luminary. Luminary will defend Customer from and against any claim by a third party alleging that the Service, when used as authorized under this Agreement, infringes any patent, copyright, or trademark or other intellectual property right of a third party and will indemnify and hold harmless Customer from and against any damages and costs awarded against Customer or agreed in settlement by Luminary (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from such claim. If Customer’s use of the Service is (or in Luminary’s opinion is likely to be) enjoined, or if required by settlement or if Luminary determines such actions are reasonably necessary to avoid material liability, Luminary may, in its sole discretion: (a) substitute substantially functionally similar products or services; (b) procure for Customer the right to continue using the Service; or if (a) and (b) are not commercially reasonably practicable, (c) terminate this Agreement in which case Luminary will refund Customer any pre-paid but unused fees as of the effective date of such termination. The foregoing indemnification obligation of Luminary will not apply to the extent the applicable claim is attributable to: (1) the modification of the Service by any party other than Luminary or a third party authorized by Luminary; (2) the combination of the Service with products or processes not specified in the Documentation or provided by Luminary; (3) any unauthorized use of the Service; or (4) any action arising as a result of Customer Data or any third-party deliverables or components contained within the Service. THIS SECTION SETS FORTH LUMINARY’S AND ITS SUPPLIERS’ SOLE LIABILITY AND CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT.

 

10.2.               Indemnification by Customer. Customer will defend Luminary from and against any claim by a third party arising from or relating to any Customer Data or any product or service offered by Customer in connection with or related to the Luminary Service, and will indemnify and hold harmless Luminary from and against any damages and costs awarded against Luminary or agreed in settlement by Customer (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from such claim.

 

10.3.               Indemnification Procedures. In the event of a potential indemnity obligation under this Section 10, the indemnified party shall: (i) promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim, (ii) allow the indemnifying party the right to control the investigation, defense and settlement (if applicable) of such claim at the indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense, and (iii) upon request of the indemnifying party, provide all necessary cooperation at the indemnifying party’s expense. Failure by the indemnified party to notify the indemnifying party of a claim under this Section 10 shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 10, however the indemnifying party shall not liable for any litigation expenses that the indemnified party incurred prior to the time when notice is given or for any damages and/or costs resulting from any material prejudice caused by such delay or failure to provide notice to the indemnifying party in accordance with this Section. The indemnifying party may not settle any claim in any matter that would require obligation on the part of the indemnified party (other than payment or ceasing to use infringing materials), or any admission of fault by the indemnified party, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Further, any indemnification obligation under this Section 10 will not apply if the indemnified party settles or makes any admission with respect to a claim without the indemnifying party’s prior written consent.
