Important:

By clicking and installing or continuing to use or by accessing the Software, you are consenting to be bound by and are becoming a party to this End-User License Agreement (“EULA”).

1.                  GRANT OF LICENSE/ACCESS TO USE. Subject to payment by the Client of all applicable fees and the Client’s compliance with its obligations under the Agreement, ASTUS hereby grants the Client, as specified in the Agreement, either: (a) a perpetual, non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable license to use the Software in executable form (local deployment); or (b) a revocable, non-exclusive, temporary, limited, non-transferable right to access and use the hosted version of the Software. All licenses and access rights are subject to the use restrictions and other terms set out in this EULA and in the Agreement.

Access to and provision of the Service are conditioned upon the Client’s compliance with the minimum hardware and software specifications communicated by ASTUS (including, where applicable, supported hardware generations and software versions). ASTUS reserves the right to suspend or cease offering the Service if the Client uses equipment that has not been renewed, is obsolete, or is of a generation not supported by ASTUS. Except in cases of emergency or where security requires immediate action, ASTUS will provide notice to the Client and a reasonable cure period to allow the Client to remediate the non-compliance before any suspension or permanent discontinuation of the Service.

The Term applicable to any license or access right is the Term expressly set forth in the Agreement; in the event of any inconsistency, the Term, billing and renewal provisions in the Agreement shall govern and prevail over any Offer, invoice or other commercial document. If no Term is expressly provided in the Agreement or the applicable Offer of Service, the license/subscription shall be billed monthly and shall automatically renew for successive one (1) month periods (each a “Monthly Period”) until validly terminated in accordance with this EULA. During the applicable Term, ASTUS will provide bug fixes, updates and upgrades and will furnish documentation and support in accordance with the Agreement.

6.                  TERMINATION. 
6.1 Termination by ASTUS. Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to ASTUS, ASTUS may, in its sole discretion, suspend, limit, modify or terminate this EULA and/or the Client’s access to the Software (in whole or in part) immediately upon written notice if the Client materially breaches this EULA or the Agreement (including, without limitation, failure to pay amounts when due). ASTUS may also immediately suspend or terminate access in the event of attempted circumvention of technical protection measures, reverse engineering, security attacks, use of obsolete or unsupported equipment, or other serious misconduct. ASTUS may temporarily suspend access where necessary for security reasons, emergency maintenance or to protect the Software or its users. ASTUS’s termination rights are without prejudice to any damages or other remedies to which ASTUS may be entitled.

6.1.1 Termination for Convenience. ASTUS may terminate this EULA and/or the Agreement, in whole or in part, for convenience, without any requirement of Client breach, upon at least [90] days’ prior written notice to the Client. In such event, the Client shall remain liable for all fees and charges accrued and payable through the effective date of termination. No refunds or prorated credits will be provided, except as expressly set forth in the Agreement.

6.2 Termination by the Client / Non-renewal. The Client may terminate its subscription/license by submitting a written termination notice to ASTUS. Such notice must be sent either by email to support@astus.com or directly to the ASTUS commercial or technical representative assigned to the Client. A termination notice will take effect at the end of the Monthly Period during which ASTUS receives the notice. Where the Agreement specifies a Term, early termination shall be governed by the Agreement’s termination provisions.

6.3 No Prorata / No Refund; Effect of Non-payment. Except as expressly provided in the Agreement, no refunds or prorated credits will be given for any portion of a period already invoiced. It is expressly agreed that cessation of use or failure to pay does not, in itself, constitute termination and does not release the Client from its contractual obligations, unless ASTUS has agreed otherwise in writing.

6.4 Formalities and Client Responsibility. It is the Client’s sole responsibility to ensure ASTUS has actually received any termination notice. A notice that is not sent in the manner required or that is not received by ASTUS shall not be effective. Absent receipt of a valid termination notice in accordance with Section 6.2, the Service will be deemed automatically renewed and the Client will remain liable for fees for subsequent periods.

6.5 Effects of Termination. Upon expiration or termination of this EULA or the Client’s access rights, the Client’s right to use the Software shall cease in accordance with the Agreement and this EULA. Unless the Agreement expressly provides otherwise, the Client must delete or return all copies of the Software and cease any use. Provisions regarding ownership, confidentiality, limitations of liability and survival shall survive termination.

7.                  WARRANTY. Subject to any applicable service level agreement during the Term of the Agreement, under normal conditions of use, including any updates and upgrades required from time to time, the Software will operate substantially in accordance with its written documentation and as intended under the terms hereof and the Agreement.
