Software may be provided to or otherwise made available to you in order to facilitate EndoSoft’s performance of Services, as a feature of a Service, to enable you to access hosted, online or remote software-enabled Services (e.g. “software-as-a-service” and “cloud-based” offerings), or to enhance your experience with EndoSoft’s products (capitalized terms defined below).

1. Your Relationship with EndoSoft
2. Introduction. This is a legal agreement between you, the user of the Software (as defined herein), a corporation, partnership, sole proprietor, or other business entity (“you(r) ” or “Customer “) and EndoSoft LLC. or EndoSoft B.V. or EndoSoft Ltd. or EndoSoft Solutions Pvt. Ltd. , if applicable, the EndoSoft entity identified on Customer’s invoice (“EndoSoft “) with whom an order for Software or Services is placed. By placing an order for Software or Service or downloading, installing, activating or otherwise using the Software you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If you are entering this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity to these terms and conditions, in which case the terms “you”, “your” or “Customer” shall refer to such entity. If you do not have such authority, or if you do not agree with these terms and conditions, do not accept this Agreement or use the Software. In instances where Customer licenses through a reseller or distributor, final prices and terms and conditions of sale will be as agreed between Customer and the third party from which Customer makes such purchases; however, the terms set forth herein are applicable to your use of Software and the performance of Services by EndoSoft.
3. Definitions. “Services” means any and all services provided by EndoSoft as described in one or more Service Agreements. “Software” means any software, library, utility, tool, or other computer or program code, in object (binary) or source-code form, as well as the related documentation, provided by EndoSoft to you. Software includes software locally installed on your systems and software accessed by you through the Internet or other remote means (such as websites and “cloud-based” applications). “Deliverables” means the tangible and intangible materials, including reports, studies, base cases, drawings, findings, manuals, procedures, and recommendations prepared by EndoSoft or its suppliers, licensors, or subcontractors in the course of performing the Services. “Materials” means all content and other items included with or as part of the Products, Services, Software, or Deliverables, such as text, graphics, logos, button icons, images, audio clips, information, data, clinical content, templates, photographs, graphs, videos, typefaces, music, sounds, and software. “Third-Party Products” means any non-EndoSoft-branded products, software, or services.
4. Additional Agreements. This Agreement, together with the Service Agreements (as defined below), form a legally binding contract between you and EndoSoft in relation to your license and use of Software, and EndoSoft’s performance of Services. In the event of a conflict between these agreements, the terms of these documents will be interpreted in the following order of precedence: (1) Service Agreement; and (2) this Agreement.
5. Service Agreements. EndoSoft may provide Services, Software, or Deliverables to you in accordance with one or more “Service Agreements”. “Service Agreements” are service contracts, including “Service Descriptions” available at www.EndoSoft.com/ServiceContracts, “Statements of Work,” and any other such mutually agreed upon documents.

THESE WARRANTIES DO NOT APPLY TO THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS. ANY WARRANTY ON A THIRD-PARTY PRODUCT IS PROVIDED BY THE PUBLISHER, PROVIDER, OR ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER.

THESE LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS, AND DISCLAIMERS SHALL APPLY TO ALL CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THESE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY ARE AGREED ALLOCATIONS OF RISK CONSTITUTING IN PART THE CONSIDERATION FOR ENDOSOFT’S SALE OF SOFTWARE OR SERVICES TO CUSTOMER, AND SUCH LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY AND EVEN IF A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LIABILITIES.

1. Confidentiality. In connection with this Agreement, each party may have access to or be exposed to information of the other party that is not generally known to the public, such as software, product plans, pricing, marketing and sales information, customer lists, “know-how,” or trade secrets, which may be designated as confidential or which, under the circumstances surrounding disclosure, ought to be treated as confidential (collectively, “Confidential Information”). Confidential Information may not be shared with third parties unless such disclosure is to the receiving party’s personnel, including employees, agents, and subcontractors, on a “need-to-know” basis in connection with this Agreement, so long as such personnel have agreed in writing to treat such Confidential Information under terms at least as restrictive as those herein. Each party agrees to take the necessary precautions to maintain the confidentiality of the other party’s Confidential Information by using at least the same degree of care as such party employs with respect to its own Confidential Information of a similar nature, but in no case less than a commercially reasonable standard of care to maintain confidentiality. The foregoing shall not apply to information that (1) was known by one party prior to its receipt from the other or is or becomes public knowledge through no fault of the recipient; or (2) is rightfully received by the recipient from a third party without a duty of confidentiality. If a recipient is required by a court or government agency to disclose Confidential Information, the recipient shall, subject to any applicable lawful restrictions, provide advance notice to other party before making such a disclosure. The obligations with respect to Confidential Information shall continue for two years from the date of disclosure.
2. Indemnification. EndoSoft shall defend and indemnify you against any third-party claim or action that Products, Software, or Services (excluding Third-Party Products and open source software) prepared or produced by EndoSoft and delivered pursuant to this Agreement infringe or misappropriate that third party’s patent, copyright, trade secret, or other intellectual property rights enforceable in the country in which such Software or Services are sold to you by EndoSoft (“Indemnified Claims “). In addition, if EndoSoft receives prompt notice of a claim that, in EndoSoft’s reasonable opinion, is likely to result in an adverse ruling, then EndoSoft shall at its option, (1) obtain a right for you to continue using such Products or Software or allow EndoSoft to continue performing the Services; (2) modify such Software or Services to make them non-infringing; (3) replace such Software or Services with a non-infringing equivalent; or (4) refund any pre-paid fees for the allegedly infringing Services that have not been performed or provide a reasonable depreciated or pro rata refund for the allegedly infringing Software. Notwithstanding the foregoing, EndoSoft shall have no obligation under this Section for any claim resulting or arising from (1) modifications of the Software or Services that were not performed by or on behalf of EndoSoft; (2) the combination, operation, or use of the Software or Services in connection with a third-party product, software, or service (the combination of which causes the claimed infringement); or (3) EndoSoft’s compliance with your written specifications or directions, including the incorporation of any software or other materials or processes provided by or requested by you. This Section states Customer’s exclusive remedies for any third-party intellectual property claim or action, and nothing in this Agreement or elsewhere will obligate EndoSoft to provide any greater indemnity to Customer.
3. Independent Contractor Relationship; Assignment; Subcontracting. The parties are independent contractors. Neither party will have any rights, power, or authority to act or create an obligation, express or implied, on behalf of another party except as specified in this Agreement. EndoSoft has the right to assign, subcontract, or delegate in whole or in part this Agreement, or any rights, duties, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, provided that EndoSoft shall remain responsible for the performance of Services under this Agreement. Otherwise, neither party may assign this Agreement without the permission of the other.
4. Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable to the other for any failure to perform any of its obligations (except payment obligations) under this Agreement during any period in which such performance is delayed by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, such as fire, flood, war, embargo, strike, riot, or the intervention of any governmental authority (a “Force Majeure” ). In such event, however, the delayed party must promptly provide the other party with written notice of the Force Majeure. The delayed party’s time for performance will be excused for the duration of the Force Majeure, but if the Force Majeure event lasts longer than 30 days, then the other party may immediately terminate, in whole or in part, this Agreement or the applicable Service Agreement by giving written notice to the delayed party.
5. Export Compliance. You acknowledge that the Software and Services provided under this Agreement, which may include technology and encryption, are subject to the customs and export control laws and regulations of the United States (“U.S.”), may be rendered or performed either in the U.S., in countries outside the U.S., or outside of the borders of the country in which you or your system is located, and may also be subject to the customs and export laws and regulations of the country in which the Software or Services are rendered or received. You agree to abide by those laws and regulations. You further represent that any software provided by you and used as part of the Software or Services contains no encryption or, to the extent that it contains encryption, such software is approved for export without a license. If you cannot make the preceding representation, you agree to provide EndoSoft with all of the information needed for EndoSoft to obtain export licenses from the U.S. Government or any other applicable national government and to provide EndoSoft with such additional assistance as may be necessary to obtain such licenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you are solely responsible for obtaining any necessary licenses relating to the export of software. EndoSoft also may require export certifications from you for software. EndoSoft’s acceptance of any order for Software or Services is contingent upon the issuance of any applicable export license required by the U.S. Government or any other applicable national government; EndoSoft is not liable for delays or failure to deliver Software or Services resulting from your failure to obtain such license or to provide such certification. Each Party agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless from any third-party claims, demands, or causes of action against the other due to the indemnifying party’s violation or alleged violation of the applicable export laws, regulations or orders.
6. Regulatory Requirements. EndoSoft is not responsible for determining whether any Third-Party Product to be used in the Products, Software, or performance of the Services, satisfies the local regulatory requirements of the country to which such Products, Software, or Services are to be delivered, and EndoSoft shall not be obligated to provide any Product or Software or perform any Services where the resulting Products, Software, or Services do not satisfy the local regulatory requirements.
7. Entire Agreement; Severability. This Agreement is the entire agreement between you and EndoSoft with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior oral and written understandings, communications, or agreements between you and EndoSoft. No amendment to or modification of this Agreement, in whole or in part, will be valid or binding unless it is in writing and executed by authorized representatives of both parties. If any provision of this Agreement should be found to be void or unenforceable, such provision will be stricken or modified, but only to the extent necessary to comply with the law, and the remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force and will not be terminated.
8. Updates. EndoSoft reserves the right to update this Agreement at any time, effective upon posting an updated version at www.endosoft.com; however, your rights and obligations shall be as provided in the version of this Agreement executed by you or available to you at the time of your purchase of Software or Services or, when applicable, renewal of Software or Services.
9. U.S. Government Restricted Rights. The software and documentation provided with the Software and Services are “commercial items” as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. 2.101, consisting of “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212. Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, all U.S. Government end-users acquire the software and documentation with only those rights set forth herein. Contractor/manufacturer is EndoSoft LLC., 135 Broadway, Schenectady, NY 12305 USA.
10. DATA PROTECTION & PROCESSING PROVISIONS APPLICABLE ONLY TO CUSTOMERS WITH OPERATIONS IN THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA (EEA)
11. Data Protection & Processing of Personal Data. The terms used in this Section shall have the same meanings as defined in Article 2 of the European Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC and the following terms shall have a more specific meaning:

“Data Protection Law” means the Directive 95/46/EC and any amendments, revisions, re-enactments or consolidations thereof together with any other applicable data protection legislation.

“EndoSoft Personnel” means any employee, officer, agent or consultant of EndoSoft engaged to provide the Services.

You shall provide personal data to EndoSoft Personnel together with such other information as may reasonably be required in order to provide the Services.

EndoSoft shall (A) ensure that only EndoSoft Personnel who may be required to assist in meeting EndoSoft’s obligations under this Agreement shall have access to the personal data; (B) process the personal data only in accordance with the Data Protection Law and the terms of this Agreement; and (C) if it shall become necessary to transfer personal data from one location to another within its own organization or to third parties contracted to provide the Services, undertake such transfer with appropriate security measures being implemented in compliance with Data Protection Law.

EndoSoft will maintain appropriate organizational and technical processes and procedures to safeguard against unauthorized access, accidental loss, destruction, theft, use or disclosure of the personal data.

You acknowledge that EndoSoft is reliant on you for direction as to the extent to which EndoSoft is entitled to use and process the personal data. Consequently, EndoSoft will not be liable for any claim brought by you or a data subject arising from any action or omission by EndoSoft Personnel to the extent that such action or omission resulted from your instructions.

1. Employment Indemnity. You shall keep EndoSoft or any of its subcontractors fully indemnified against any claims, costs, demands, awards, compensation or other liability of any nature arising out of the termination of the employment rights (by way of redundancy or otherwise) or deemed transfer of any employment rights of any employees of you, or the previous supplier providing the Services for you, resulting from the entering into or termination of any Services Agreement (in whole or in part) for whatsoever reason.

In the event that any member of EndoSoft personnel (whether employed or engaged by EndoSoft or one of its contractors, agents or consultants) brings a claim against EndoSoft as a result of any act or omission of you or any of your employees, contractors, agents or consultants (including any claim arising from a request by you that the individual be removed from providing any part of the Services), you shall cooperate with EndoSoft in defending any such proceedings and shall indemnify and hold EndoSoft harmless in respect of any award of compensation or other payment made by a court or tribunal or any monies paid in respect of any settlement and all legal costs and any disbursements incurred by EndoSoft in dealing with any such claim.
