3.11 Any dates supplied by AppsAnywhere for delivery of any Services under this Agreement shall be treated as approximate only.

3.12 In relation to scope of use:
3.12.1 for the purposes of clause 3.1 and irrespective of the Licence Type, use of the Licensed Materials shall be restricted to use of it in object code form for the Licensee’s normal business purposes (which shall not include allowing the use of the Licensed Materials by, or for the benefit of, any person other than End Users);

3.13 Third-Party Applications. The Licensed Software may link, interface, and integrate with third-party software applications and websites that are not operated or controlled by AppsAnywhere (each, a “Third-Party Application”). All such Third-Party Applications shall remain the property of their third-party providers. Licensee hereby acknowledges and agrees that AppsAnywhere is not responsible for the content or practices of the Third-Party Applications. Licensee is solely responsible for any required third-party account setup or fees levied by any such Third-Party Applications for using their services. To the extent any Third-Party Application requires accepting any third-party terms and conditions or agreement, Licensee (and not AppsAnywhere) shall be responsible for entering into any such terms and conditions or agreements. It shall be Licensee's responsibility to, and Licensee shall, ensure that the use of the Licensed Software in connection with any such Third-Party Applications complies with any applicable terms. A material breach of any such Third-Party Application terms shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement. Any links to or content from Third-Party Applications in the Licensed Software are provided for Licensee’s convenience only. Licensee's reliance on any Third-Party Application is at Licensee's own risk; AppsAnywhere does not endorse or warranty any Third-Party Application, including any Third-Party Application linked to, or interfaced or integrated with, the Licensed Software. AppsAnywhere reserves the right to update or remove any functionality available through the Licensed Software at any time for any reason. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that the Licensed Software incorporates Third-Party Applications provided by Numecent, Inc. As a condition of Licensee’s or any of Licensee’s End Users’ use of the Licensed Software, Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Licensee and such End Users shall be bound by the terms and conditions of Numecent’s End User License Agreement linked here: https://www.appsanywhere.com/company/legal/numecent-cloudpaging-eula. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION IN THIS AGREEMENT, LICENSEE SHALL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH ANY THIRD-PARTY APPLICATION, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LICENSEE'S INTERACTION WITH ANY SUCH THIRD-PARTY APPLICATION THROUGH THE LICENSED SOFTWARE. THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS-IS” AND “AS-AVAILABLE” BASIS AND APPSANYWHERE SHALL HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY INTERACTION WITH ANY THIRD-PARTY APPLICATION, WHETHER THROUGH THE LICENSED SOFTWARE OR OTHERWISE, BY OR ON BEHALF OF THE LICENSEE. APPSANYWHERE SHALL HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS THAT ARISE AS A RESULT OF ANY SUCH INTERACTION, ANY LIABILITY THAT ARISES AS A RESULT OF ANY SUCH INTERACTION (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION UNDER ANY APPLICABLE TERMS OF SERVICE), OR ANY RELATIONSHIP THAT EXISTS OR COMES TO EXIST BETWEEN LICENSEE AND ANY THIRD-PARTY APPLICATION PROVIDER.
3.14 The Licensee may not use any such information provided by AppsAnywhere or obtained by the Licensee during any such reduction permitted under clause 3.12.4 to create any software whose expression is substantially similar to that of the Licensed Software nor use such information in any manner which would be restricted by any copyright subsisting in it.

3.16.5 notify AppsAnywhere as soon as it becomes aware of any unauthorised use of the Licensed Software by any person;

The License Fee payment shall be paid by the Licensee (subject to receipt of a valid invoice) within thirty (30) days of the Commencement Date of this Agreement.
4.4 Subsequent License Fee and Payment: To the extent that the License Fee and/or Packaging Subscription (if applicable) Fee is payable annually for any Extended Term (as defined in clause 5.1) AppsAnywhere shall invoice Licensee for the applicable annual element of the License Fee and/or Packaging Subscription (if applicable) Fee and Licensee shall pay to AppsAnywhere such Licensee Fee and/or Packaging Subscription Fee no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of each Support Period. Licensee shall pay such invoiced amounts in full by no later than the end of the immediately previous Support Period (and prior to the commencement of the Support Period to which the invoice relates). The annual element of the License Fees and/or Packaging Subscription (if applicable) Fee shall be payable as long as Licensee is using the Licensed Software. If the Term is greater than 2 years, the Fees shall be subject to an annual increase, (applicable from the end of the second year of the Term, regardless of when the Fees are due to be paid), equal to any percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index in the immediately preceding 12 month period for which such data is made publicly available (or, in respect of the License Fee, in the 12 month period for which such data is made publicly available immediately preceding the date of AppsAnywhere’s invoice).
4.5 Licensee may at any time during the Term purchase additional Professional Services, Packaging Subscription Credits and/or increase the number of licensed Devices or Sites, by submitting to AppsAnywhere an Order using the following process: (a) the Licensee shall notify AppsAnywhere of the additional Professional Services, Packaging Subscription Credits and/or increases licensed Devices or Sites it wishes to purchase; (b) AppsAnywhere shall provide a quote to the Licensee which shall set out the price for such additional services and shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement or (if there are no such provisions) with AppsAnywhere’s standard price list then in force; and (c) if the Licensee wishes to proceed with the purchase based on the quote provided by AppsAnywhere, it shall submit a purchase order for such additional services. The Licensee shall pay the price for any additional Order within thirty (30) days of the date of the Order. The Licensee acknowledges and agrees that: (a) any Order raised will be subject to the terms of this Agreement; (b) this Agreement will apply to the Order to the exclusion of any other terms that the Licensee seeks to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by law, trade custom or practice or course of dealing; and (c) any quotation given by AppsAnywhere shall not constitute an offer, and is only valid for a period of 30 days from its date of issue.
4.6 Incidental Support Costs: Support services provided pursuant to payment of the License Fee are provided remotely, in accordance with the Support Services Specification. Should Licensee request on-site visits or any other travel by AppsAnywhere employees, unless otherwise agreed, such travel and incidental expenses will be chargeable separately to, and paid for by, Licensee.
4.7 All Fees shall be paid in full, cleared funds, and in US dollars, on the applicable due dates without any set off or withholding whatsoever. All Fees are quoted exclusive of, and Licensee shall be responsible for paying all, local, state, federal or foreign sales, use, excise, VAT or other taxes, levies, duties or tariffs of any nature that may be due relating to this Agreement, except for taxes based on the income of AppsAnywhere.
4.8 Late Charges: If the Licensee fails to make any payment due under this Agreement by the due date for payment, then the Licensee shall pay interest on the overdue amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Prime Rate as quoted from time to time in the Wall Street Journal plus five percentage points, and (ii) the maximum amount permitted under applicable law. Interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment.
4.9 Professional Services: If the Agreement includes the provision of Professional Services, the Order, or where applicable, any Subsequent Order, will set out the number of days’ worth of Professional Services that the Licensee is entitled to together with the Professional Services Fee. The Licensee shall pay to AppsAnywhere such Professional Services Fee within 30 days of the date of AppsAnywhere’s invoice for the same. Subject to payment of the Professional Services Fee, the Licensee shall be entitled to “book” or “call-off” Professional Services days. Only full days (of 8 working hours, which includes a one-hour lunch break and a further 15 mins break) can be called off. Pre-paid Professional Services days are valid for 6 months from the date of payment (after which unused days shall expire and cannot be called off and, for the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no refund of any Professional Services Fees paid by the Licensee in respect of expired days). If a Professional Service day is booked or called off by the Licensee, and then subsequently cancelled by the Licensee, the Licensee shall forfeit (and be deemed to have used) that day if notice of cancellation is received by AppsAnywhere less than eight days before the agreed date for providing the said Professional Services. If a Professional Service day is cancelled by the Licensee between eight and fourteen days before the agreed date for providing the said Professional Services, the Licensee shall forfeit (and be deemed to have used) half of that day (and in either case shall not be entitled to either re-book, or otherwise receive any refund of the Professional Services Fee in respect of the forfeited day/half day). Notwithstanding the foregoing, AppsAnywhere may, at its sole discretion, agree to allow the Licensee to file the cancelled day on account for the Licensee to use on a different day throughout the Term.
4.10 For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensee shall be liable for compliance with all of its obligations in this Agreement, including without limitation all of its payment obligations, whether or not it outsources or otherwise arranges for payment of Fees to be made by a procurement (or other) agent on its behalf.

4.12 Restrictive Covenants. Licensee shall not, and Licensee will cause Licensee’s officers, directors, faculty, students, employees, contractors, representatives, agents, and affiliates to not: (i) alter, change, modify, adapt, translate, or make derivative works of the Licensed Software; (ii) use the Licensed Software in a manner that violates any applicable Law; (iii) transmit any virus or programming routine intended to damage, surreptitiously intercept, or expropriate any system, data, or personal information; (iv) transfer, resell, license, sublicense or otherwise make the Licensed Software available to any third party, except as expressly described in this Agreement; (v) use the Licensed Software for timesharing, rental, outsourcing, or a service bureau operation; (vi) attempt to gain, or assist others with attempting to gain unauthorized access to AppsAnywhere’s network, systems or the Licensed Software; (vii) decipher, decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer the Licensed Software or assist or encourage any third party to do so; (viii) engage in any activity that violates the rights of others or that interferes with or disrupts the Licensed Software; or (ix) upload any file containing any back door, time bomb, Trojan horse, worm, virus or similar malicious code.
5.1 Term: Subject to the provisions for early termination contained in clause 5.4, this Agreement will commence on the Commencement Date and will continue for the Initial Term. Upon expiry of the Initial Term, this Agreement will automatically renew for successive periods of as set out in the Order or any Renewal Quote (each an “Extended Term”) unless written notice to terminate this Agreement has been given by either party to the other, not less than 60 days written notice to terminate (such notice cannot expire prior to the end of the Initial Term, or the end of any Extended Term, as the case may be).
5.2 Prior to expiry of the Initial Term, or any Extended Term (as the case may be), AppsAnywhere may issue a quotation for a renewal of the purchase of the Services in the subsequent Extended Term. Where this is the case, AppsAnywhere shall issue the Licensee a renewed quote for the Fees to be paid by the Licensee during such subsequent Extended Term (“Renewal Quote”). Upon the Licensee returning a signed copy of the Renewal Quote to AppsAnywhere, the provision of the Services shall continue for the subsequent Extended Term, the Agreement shall automatically continue subject to the updated Fees set out in the Renewal Quote, and these Conditions shall continue to apply unamended.
5.3 Where the Licensee fails to return a signed copy of the Renewal Quote prior to the expiry of the Initial Term, or the current Extended Term, as the case may be, this Agreement shall terminate upon the expiry of the Initial Term, or current Extended Term (as the case may be).
5.4 Termination for Cause: Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies to which the parties may be entitled, either party may terminate the Agreement upon written notice to the other party if:
5.4.1 (subject only to clause 5.4.2 below) the other party commits a material breach of any of the terms of the Agreement and (if such a breach is capable of remedy) fails to remedy that breach within 60 days of that party being notified in writing of the breach; or
5.4.2 The other party with respect to AppsAnywhere, Licensee fails to pay any amount due under the Agreement within 7 days of the due date for payment;

5.4.4 the filing of a petition proposing the adjudication of the other party pursuant to any federal or state bankruptcy law and such party consents to such filing or such petition is not dismissed within ninety (90) days after the filing thereof.
5.5 Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies, AppsAnywhere may in its sole discretion, in the circumstances described in clause 5.4 above and as an interim alternative to termination, suspend the provision of Support and any Professional Services, and suspend the license of the Licensed Software, until payment of the outstanding amount has been made in full.
5.6 Effect of Termination or Expiration: Immediately upon termination or expiration (for whatever cause) of this Agreement, the Licensee shall: (a) cease and desist from any further use of the Licensed Materials, and procure that all End Users cease and desist from further use of the Licensed Software; (b) promptly return to AppsAnywhere (or, at AppsAnywhere’s option, destroy) all Licensed Materials (including all copies thereof), and all materials (in written, electronic or other form) containing or constituting AppsAnywhere's Confidential Information, including any copies and extracts thereof, and provide AppsAnywhere with a written document executed by an officer of the Licensee, certifying the destruction of the same; and (d) not use such Confidential Information or any Licensed Materials in any way for any purpose. Termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever will not affect Licensee’s liability to pay any amount accrued and unpaid as of the date of termination. Any provisions of this Agreement which are intended, by their specific terms or by necessary implication, to survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement shall so survive.

7.6 Continuation: The terms and provisions of this Clause 6 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
8.1 If a party acquires, or has disclosed to it, Confidential Information of the other party pursuant to the Agreement, the provisions of this clause 8 shall apply. A party's Confidential Information shall not include information that:
8.1.1 is or becomes publicly known through no act or omission of the receiving party; or
8.1.2 was in the receiving party's lawful possession prior to the disclosure; or
8.1.3 is lawfully disclosed to the receiving party by a third party without restriction on disclosure.
8.2 Each party shall hold the other's Confidential Information in confidence and not make the other's Confidential Information available to any third party or use the other's Confidential Information for any purpose other than the implementation of the Agreement. Each party receiving Confidential Information from the other party shall: (i) use and reproduce the Confidential Information only for the purposes specified in this Agreement, and (ii) use reasonable care to protect the other party’s Confidential Information and to prevent unauthorized disclosure of such Confidential Information.
8.3 Each party agrees to procure that the other's Confidential Information to which it has access is not disclosed or distributed by its employees or agents ("Representatives") in violation of the terms of the Agreement. Each party receiving Confidential Information from the other party shall restrict disclosure of Confidential Information to its Representatives with a need to know the Confidential Information to enable the receiving party to perform its obligations and exercise its rights under this Agreement, provided that such Representatives must be bound by confidentiality obligations at least as strict as those contained in this Agreement that are broad enough to encompass the Confidential Information.
8.4 For the avoidance of doubt, as between the parties to this Agreement, the Licensed Materials constitute the Confidential Information of AppsAnywhere.
8.5 A receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information in accordance with a legally binding judicial or other governmental order, provided that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such party provides the disclosing party with prompt notice of the same and reasonably cooperates with the disclosing party with any actions taken by the disclosing party to protect such Confidential Information, including without limitation the seeking of an appropriate protective order or other remedy.
8.6 During the Term, certain data may be made available to AppsAnywhere (whether through the Licensed Software or otherwise) by or on behalf of Licensee ("Licensee Data"). Licensee represents, warrants, and covenants that: (i) it has (and will have) provided any notice and obtained all consents and rights required by applicable law to enable Licensor to lawfully Process Licensee Data as permitted by this Agreement; (ii) it has full right and authority to make the Licensee Data available to Licensor under this Agreement; and (iii) Licensor's Processing of the Licensee Data in accordance with this Agreement will not infringe upon or violate any applicable laws or any rights of any third party. “Process” (including any grammatically inflected forms thereof) means any operation or set of operations which is performed on data or on sets of data, whether or not by automated means, including without limitation collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, access, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction. AppsAnywhere may collect, analyze and anonymize data, statistics, or other information obtained through the provision, use and performance of various aspects of the Licensed Software (collectively, “Analytics”) and aggregate such data, statistics, or other information with data, statistics or other information obtained from other sources, and may use such Analytics for lawful business purposes, including improvement of the Software and the Licensed Software, as long as in doing so AppsAnywhere does not re-identify, or attempt to re-identify, any of the Analytics or otherwise link or associate Analytics with any information relating to (i) Licensee, or (ii) an identified or identifiable natural person.
