PTC may change its address for receipt of notices by giving notice of the new address to You.
(h) Waiver. Neither a course of dealing nor the failure of either party to require performance by the other party of any provision of this Agreement shall affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter; nor shall the waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself.
(i) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law or is so held by applicable court decision, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render this Agreement unenforceable or invalid as a whole, and such provision shall be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable or invalid provision within the limits of applicable law or applicable court decisions; provided, however, that if the parties are unable to so change the provision, then the affected party may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ notice.
(j) Assignment. You shall not assign or attempt to assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without PTC’s prior written consent. Any purported assignment of this Agreement without PTC’s consent shall be void. PTC may freely assign this Agreement or delegate any or all of its rights or obligations hereunder to any third party.
(k) Force Majeure. PTC shall not be in default of its obligations to the extent its performance is delayed or prevented by causes beyond its control, including but not limited to acts of God, acts of You, acts of third parties not under PTC’s control, acts of any governmental body, war, insurrection, sabotage, armed conflict, embargo, fire, flood, strike or other labor disturbance, interruption of or delay in transportation, unavailability of or interruption or delay in telecommunications or third-party services, virus attacks or hackers, failure of third party software (including, without limitation, ecommerce software, payment gateways, chat, statistics or free scripts) or inability to obtain raw materials, supplies, or power used in or equipment needed for the provision of Services and/or Software.
(l) Language. This Agreement is entered into solely in the English language, and if for any reason any other language version is prepared by any party, it shall be solely for convenience and shall have no force or effect and the English version shall govern and control in all respects. All proceedings related to this Agreement shall be conducted in the English language. If You are located in the province of Quebec, Canada, the following applies: The parties hereby confirm they have requested this Agreement and all related documents be prepared in English. Les parties ont exigé que le présent contrat et tous les documents connexes soient rédigés en anglais.
(m) Entire Agreement. Except as set forth below with regard to separately negotiated agreements, this Agreement is the entire and exclusive agreement between PTC and You with respect to the Software, Documentation and the Services, and this Agreement supersedes, and its terms govern, all prior or contemporaneous understandings, representations, letters of intent, memoranda of understanding, agreements, or other communications between the parties, oral or written, regarding such subject matter, including, without limitation all prior online click-to-accept agreements with respect to all or any part of the Software or Services (e.g., the License Agreement for Vuforia Software Development Kit and the Vuforia Cloud Recognition Services Agreement) (each an “Online Agreement”). For purposes of clarity, the foregoing sentence shall not impact or limit in any manner the terms of a separately negotiated agreement executed by the parties with respect to the Software, Documentation and Services that by its express terms was intended to supersede all or part of the applicable Online Agreement (each a “Negotiated Agreement”). With regard to a reference in a Negotiated Agreement to a specific section in an Online Agreement, the section references in the Negotiated Agreement shall be deemed to refer to sections in the Online Agreement based on section title references, rather than based on section number (e.g., references in a Negotiated Agreement to “Section 1.9 (Additional Software)” of the Online Agreement shall be deemed to be references to the Section titled “Additional Software” herein). In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the TOU, the Privacy Policy, or the Vuforia Pricing Schedule, this Agreement will control.
BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS YOU REPRESENT, WARRANT AND CERTIFY THAT: YOU ARE AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE LEGAL ENTITY YOU REPRESENT; YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT AND UNDERSTAND IT; YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BIND THE LEGAL ENTITY YOU REPRESENT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND YOU AGREE ON BEHALF OF THE LEGAL ENTITY YOU REPRESENT TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
Exhibit 1
Payment Terms
I. FEES. Fees for the Services are set forth in the Vuforia Pricing Schedule and, unless otherwise agreed in writing by PTC, are charged on a per Developer Application basis and are calculated and billed monthly or annually. To initiate the creation of Developer Applications in the Engine Developer Portal, You must select a specific License for each Developer Application. Fees begin accruing as of the date You select a License and have been granted a License Key for such Developer Application. For Licenses with recurring charges, Fees will continue accruing monthly or annually for each Developer Application until You cancel the Services for that particular Developer Application as set forth in Section II (Cancellation) below.
II. CANCELLATIONS. You may cancel the License and the associated License Key for one or more Developer Application(s) by providing PTC with notice in accordance with the cancellation instructions provided in the Vuforia Support Center. You will be obligated to pay fees that have accrued through the date of cancellation. Cancellation of the License and License Key for one or more Developer Application(s) will not automatically terminate this Agreement. Cancellation of the License and License Key will terminate Your rights to use the Software and Services with such application. In addition, this Agreement will terminate and You will no longer have any right to use the Software or Services if You have no active Licenses associated with Your account.
III. USAGE. If Your License is usage-based, You acknowledge and agree that You are permitted a certain level of usage (e.g., a maximum number of Recognitions or Queries per month, a maximum amount of Cloud Targets, and/or a maximum number of generated VuMark) in accordance with the License applicable to each Developer Application. If Your actual usage of the Services for such Developer Application exceeds such levels, You will pay an overage fee as specified in the Pricing Schedule (or Negotiated Agreement, if applicable) for each Recognition or Query by that Developer Application that exceeds the usage permitted for the applicable License. The overage fee specified in the Pricing Schedule will be made available either directly on the Pricing Schedule or through a mouse-over of an underlined term in the Pricing Schedule (e.g., placing or hovering your pointer or cursor over the underlined term “Cloud Recognition” opens up a box describing the overage fee for each reco that exceeds the maximum usage for the License applicable to the Developer Application) or in some other manner. If you are unable to see these details on the Pricing Schedule, the overage fee for a License will be made available to You after selecting a License from the Pricing Schedule, but before You confirm such License and authorize Your credit card to be charged. Overage fees shall be billed monthly in arrears.
IV. BILLING & PAYMENT. You must provide complete and accurate information as reasonably requested by PTC during the account creation and enrollment process and must provide PTC with updates to such information when and as applicable.
A. Billing Statement. PTC will provide an electronic billing statement and payment instructions to You on a monthly or annual basis for the applicable fees and amounts due to PTC. You agree to make payment in accordance with the payment instructions. Billing related information will be sent to the email address designated by You during the account creation process as the Billing Contact. Unless otherwise expressly stated, all amounts stated in this Agreement are in U.S. Dollars. The fees for the initial month will be prorated for the calendar month in which the applicable License Key was granted. For payments hereunder, if PTC provides written notice to You requesting You to pay some or all of the amounts due under this Agreement to an entity affiliated with PTC, then You will pay such entity the amounts due under this Agreement.
B. Payment Method.
1. Recurring Billing. Unless otherwise authorized by PTC, payments must be made via a credit card accepted by PTC with monthly or annual charges paid automatically on a recurring basis (“recurring billing”).
a) You hereby authorize PTC to automatically charge Your credit card on a recurring monthly or annual basis for the Fees due. It is Your responsibility to make sure the credit or debit card information on Your account is kept updated. You guarantee and warrant that You are the legal cardholder and that You are legally authorized to enter into this recurring billing agreement with PTC.
b) You acknowledge that You may withdraw this authorization for recurring billing at any time by submitting a support request through the Engine Developer Portal (or in any other manner specified by PTC from time to time). PTC will use commercially reasonable efforts to discontinue the recurring billing promptly. If You elect to withdraw Your authorization for recurring billing, PTC may elect to cancel Your License and/or terminate this Agreement upon notice.
2. Other Payment Methods. If You cancel recurring billing and/or PTC has authorized payment by a different method, You must deliver payment in accordance with the payment instructions no later than thirty (30) days from the date of the electronic billing statement.
3. Wire Transfers. If approved for payment by wire transfer method, wire transfer fees charged by Your financial institution are Your responsibility and shall not be deducted from the invoice balance due to PTC.
C. Late Payments. All payments of amounts due to PTC which are not paid when due shall accrue late payment charges on the unpaid amount in the amount of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum amount allowable under applicable law, whichever is less, from the date due until the date paid in full, together with any accrued late payment charges.
D. Adjustments. PTC shall have no obligation to provide, and You shall not be entitled to receive, any credits or refunds relating to amounts paid or owed to PTC.
E. Foreign Exchange. For any amounts due PTC by You that are denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, PTC will charge You based on the conversion of such amounts from such other currency into U.S. Dollars in the calendar month in which such amounts were generated. The rate of exchange shall be determined using either: (i) the applicable rate as referenced on Reuters (or another source reasonably determined by PTC) at the close of business on the last business day of the calendar month prior to the month in question or (ii) such other conversion method used by PTC’s billing processor.
V. TAXES.
A. All prices are exclusive of sales tax, withholding tax, value-added tax, duties, and any other taxes or similar levies imposed by any government authority. In the event that any sales, use, consumption, value-added, gross receipts, excise, or similar taxes or surcharges ("transactional tax(es)") are applicable to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, You shall be responsible for payment of such taxes whether concurrently included with the original billed amount or subsequently charged based on a review of the facts affecting Your tax status or a determination that the laws of the applicable state(s) require assessment and collection of tax. You shall be responsible to self-account for any VAT payable to Your local tax authorities according to applicable VAT rules and regulations in the jurisdictions where You are located.
B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if You are required by applicable law to withhold income taxes from any payment due to PTC, then the amount due to PTC in respect to such payment shall be reduced by the amount of such income tax withholding; then You will deliver to PTC an income tax withholding certificate or similar documentation reasonably satisfactory to PTC evidencing payment of any such withholding. Upon receipt by PTC of the income tax withholding certificate, the portion of the amount billed represented by the income tax withholding certificate will be deemed fully paid. If there is an applicable tax treaty, PTC agrees to provide You the necessary documentation in order to have You withhold at the beneficial treaty rate. You agree that upon receipt of the necessary documentation, You will only withhold at the beneficial treaty rate. If You fail to withhold income taxes from any payment due to PTC where income tax withholding is required by applicable law, PTC shall have no obligation to reimburse You for such unwithheld income taxes, unless You request reimbursement from PTC in writing within sixty (60) days after the applicable billing statement date. You shall be responsible for any penalty, additional tax, interest or other charge due.
VI. AUDITS.
During the term of this Agreement and for eighteen (18) months thereafter, You shall maintain complete and accurate records of its activities under this Agreement, including without limitation those that give rise to payment and reporting obligations. Upon reasonable notice to You by PTC, PTC may audit Your books and records to determine Your compliance with this Agreement, including without limitation the calculation and payment of the amounts due under this Agreement. In all instances where an underpayment is discovered, You shall promptly pay to PTC any such underpayment (plus accrued late payment charges), and without limiting any other rights or remedies to which PTC is entitled, failure to pay all amounts owed shall be grounds for termination in accordance with Section 12 hereof.
