Glebe Rd, Suite 700 Arlington, VA 22203 (“Supplier”) and the Customer identified on the Order Form (hereafter referred to as “Customer”). The download, installation, access, or use of the Software is Customer’s acknowledgement and acceptance to the terms of this Agreement. If Customer does not agree to the terms of this Agreement Customer should not download, install, access or use the Software. Each of Supplier and Customer may be referred to herein individually as a “party” or collectively as the “parties.”
THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. SUPPLIER’S PRICING REFLECTS THIS ALLOCATION OF RISK AND THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SPECIFIED HEREIN.
1. Software License.
1.1 Software License
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement (including without limitation Customer’s obligation to pay all fees, the restrictions in Section 1.3 below, and any additional use restrictions set forth in the Order Form), Supplier grants to Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except to Customer’s Affiliates and as provided in Section 11.7), non-sub-licensable license during the License Term, identified on the Order Form, to install, execute, and use the Software, solely on Customer’s system, for Customer’s own internal business purposes, solely in accordance with the Documentation (the “License”). “Software” means the software that Supplier provides to Customer (in object code form only) as identified on the Order Form. “Order Form” means the order form, quote, or transaction document signed by the parties which references this Agreement. “Documentation” means the standard end-user technical documentation, specifications, materials and other information, if any, Supplier supplies in electronic format with the Software or makes available electronically. Supplier’s Documentation is available at http://archive.kinetica.com/docs/. Advertising and marketing materials are not Documentation. “Affiliates” means any entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the subject entity. “Control,” for purposes of this definition, means direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 50% of the voting interests of the subject entity.
1.2 Evaluation License
The following terms only apply to Software licensed on a trial or evaluation basis as stated on an Order Form, via a pop-up notice, or otherwise. Supplier grants Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license, without the right to sublicense, during the evaluation period to install and use the Software only on servers owned or controlled by Customer and solely for Customer’s internal evaluation or test purposes. The evaluation period is thirty (30) days from the date of download by Customer or such other period specified in writing by Supplier. If Customer wishes to license the Software after the evaluation period, or for purposes other than those set forth in this Section 1.2, Customer may contact Supplier to request a production license. After the evaluation period, Customer’s license to use the Software will terminate and Customer’s access may be disabled by features in the evaluation Software license Key. Customer’s use of the Software for evaluation purposes is “as-is” without a right to Support Services or Supplier’s warranty or indemnification obligations set forth in this Agreement.
1.3 License Restrictions
Customer shall not: (i) use the Software except as expressly permitted under Section 1.1 of this Agreement; (ii) adapt, alter, publicly display, publicly perform, translate, create derivative works of, or otherwise modify the Software; (iii) sell, resell, sublicense, lease, rent, disclose, or distribute the Software or Services; (iv) transfer the Software to any third party except as provided in Section 1.1; (v) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive the source code for the Software, except as permitted by applicable law; (vi) remove, alter or obscure any proprietary notices on the Software or Documentation; or (vii) allow third parties to access or use the Software, including any use in any application service provider environment, service bureau, or time-sharing arrangements.

Customer will reproduce on each such copy all notices of patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret, or other notices placed on such Software by Supplier or its suppliers.
1.4 Delivery
Supplier will deliver the Software and any related Documentation electronically by making it available for download from a website or other online source. Customer acknowledges that the Software may require license keys or other codes (“Keys”) in order for Customer to install and/or use the Software.
