5. ADDITIONAL TERMS

5.1 User Overages.

If at any point during the Term, Client wants to activate additional User(s) totaling more than the number specified in the Order Form, the additional User(s) shall be ordered by Client and will be treated as new Users and subject to the prices set forth in the applicable Order Form. The new User(s) will be billed to Client upon its activation on a prorated basis for the time remaining in the Term. Such additional Users shall also be added to a Renewal Term, if applicable (as defined in Section 11.2 hereof). If applicable, the maximum amount of storage will be defined in the Order Form. If Client does not order additional licenses for new Users but uses storage or adds additional Users in excess of agreed and ordered number of Users or storage in an Order Form, excess usage and storage (i.e. above the subscribed levels) will be calculated and charged retroactively with an additional excess usage fee applied by Planview from time to time. Excess user license fees are calculated based on the highest number of excess Users for each thirty-day period. The number of User subscriptions purchased cannot be decreased during the term stated on the relevant Order Form.

7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

7.1 Exclusion of Consequential Damages.

Except for breaches of Sections 3, 4 or 12, in no event shall Client, Planview, or Planview’s suppliers be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, including without limitation damages for loss of profits, data or use, incurred by either party or any third party, whether in an action in contract or tort, even if the other party has been advised of the possibility of such damages, provided however, the foregoing shall not be construed to limit either party’s obligations as set forth in Section 8; provided further however, that in the event Client gives access to the Application to non-authorized Users, Planview shall be entitled to recover the full amount of any license fees that would relate to such Users.

7.2 Limitation of Direct Damages.

Except for its obligations to indemnify Client (Section 8), or for any breach of its nondisclosure obligations (Section 4), the aggregate and cumulative liability of Planview and its suppliers for damages hereunder shall in no event exceed the amount of fees paid by Client for the previous twelve (12) months under this Agreement. Except for its obligations to indemnify Planview under Section 8, or any breach of its obligations to comply with the License grant (Section 3.1), the Restrictions on Use (Section 3.4), its payment obligations (Section 9), its non-disclosure obligations (Section 4), its export control obligations (Section 12.1) and its obligations under the DPA, Client’s aggregate and cumulative liability for damages hereunder shall in no event exceed the amount of fees paid by Client under this Agreement. Except for actions for non-payment or breach of confidentiality, export control or intellectual property rights, no action (regardless of form) arising out of this Agreement may be commenced by either party more than one (1) year after the cause of action has accrued.

8. INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 General Indemnity.

Each party (“Indemnitor”) shall defend and indemnify the other party, its employees, officers, directors and agents (“Indemnitee”) against all damages for bodily injury, death, or damage to real or tangible personal property, proximately caused by the Indemnitor in the course of performing this Agreement, provided that: (i) the Indemnitor receives prompt written notice of the claim from the Indemnitee under this Section; (ii) the Indemnitor has the right to control the defense of such claim and any related settlement negotiations, and; (iii) the Indemnitee provides to the Indemnitor, at the Indemnitor’s request and expense, with the assistance, information and authority necessary to perform the Indemnitor’s obligations under this Section.

8.2 Intellectual Property Indemnity.

If a third party makes a claim against Client that the Application directly infringes any patent, copyright, or trademark or misappropriates any trade secret (“IP Claim”); Planview will: (i) defend Client against the IP Claim at Planview’s cost and expense, and (ii) pay all costs, damages and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) finally awarded against Client by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed to in a written settlement agreement signed by Planview arising out of such IP Claim; provided that: (i) Client promptly notifies Planview in writing no later than thirty (30) days after Client’s receipt of notification of a potential claim; (ii) Planview may assume sole control of the defense of such claim and all related settlement negotiations; (iii) Client provides Planview, at Planview’s request and expense, with the assistance, information and authority necessary to perform Planview’s obligations under this Section; and (iv) Client has not compromised or settled the IP Claim without Planview’s prior written consent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Planview shall have no liability for any claim of infringement based on: (i) the use of a superseded or altered release of the Application if the infringement would have been avoided by the use of a current unaltered release of the Application; (ii) the modification of the Application; (iii) the use of the Application with third party software or hardware not provided by Planview; (iv) use of the Application other than in accordance with the documentation and this Agreement; or, (v) any materials or information provided to Planview by Client and Client Data, for which Client shall be solely responsible. If the Application is held to infringe or is believed by Planview to infringe, Planview shall have the option, at its expense, to either replace or modify the Application to be non-infringing, or to obtain for Client a license to continue using the Application. If it is not commercially reasonable to perform either of the foregoing options, then Planview may terminate the Application license and refund the prepaid, unused User Fees paid for the Application. This Section states Planview’s entire liability and Client’s exclusive remedy for any claim of infringement.

9. FEES AND PAYMENTS.

All fees and amounts due to Planview, including travel expenses, shall be set forth in one or more Order Forms or Statements of Work. All fees are payable in the currency set forth in the applicable Order Form. If no currency is set forth, then fees are payable in U.S. dollars.

Late fees shall accrue on all delinquent payments at the lesser of (i) 1.5% per month, or (ii) the maximum rate allowed under law.

This Agreement shall continue to be in force until terminated by either party in accordance with this Section 11.

11.1 Termination for Breach.

11.2 Automatic Renewal.

Following the end of the Term set forth in an Order Form, unless Client has given Planview notice of its desire not to renew sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then-current Term, a new Term will automatically renew for the greater of twelve (12) months or the same length of time as the original Term (“Renewal Term”).

The Client shall be informed of such amendments by e-mail or through the information being made available on the Application’s web site. The Client shall be deemed to have received such notice within two (2) weeks of the notice being sent by e-mail or made available on the web site. Where the Client does not accept the amendment, the Client shall be entitled, within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of dispatch of the e-mail or, where appropriate, thirty (30) calendar days from the amendment being published on the relevant web site, provided that the changes have an adverse effect, that could not be considered as minor, on the Client, to terminate the Agreement with immediate effect.

12.3

Neither party may assign this Agreement, or its rights or duties hereunder, to any third party, in whole or in part, except that it is agreed that a change in control is not an assignment subject to this section; provided, however, that Planview may terminate this Agreement if a Client change in control results in Client ownership by an entity that Planview reasonably deems to be its competitor. The foregoing notwithstanding, Planview, without Client’s prior consent, may assign, in whole or in part, this Agreement and any of its rights, duties and obligations hereunder to any subsidiary or affiliate or to a purchaser of substantially all of its stock or assets or to a third party participating in a merger or other corporate reorganization in which Planview is a constituent corporation.

12.5

The provisions of this Agreement are severable. If any one provision is held to be invalid, the invalid provision will be replaced by a valid clause coming closest to the invalid clause’s intention. No failure or delay by a party in enforcing any right under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of that right.

12.6

In the event of any litigation arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or its interpretation or performance, the prevailing party shall be awarded reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, court costs, and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses attributable to the prosecution or defense of that controversy or dispute.

This Agreement may be executed electronically, by facsimile and in counterparts, which taken together shall be considered one binding original Agreement.

12.9

Those provisions of this Agreement that by their nature should survive termination or expiration (including Sections 4, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12) shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

12.10

Except for Client’s obligations to make payments as set forth in this Agreement and each party’s obligations related to confidentiality, each party shall be excused from performance for any period during which, and to the extent that, it or its subcontractor(s) is prevented from performing any obligation or service, in whole or in part, as a result of causes beyond its reasonable control and without its fault or negligence. Such acts shall include without limitation acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental laws and regulations imposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, power failures, earthquakes, floods or other natural disasters (a “Force Majeure Event”).

In the event of any conflict between the provisions in this Agreement and any Order Form, Exhibit or addendum hereto, or Statement of Work executed hereunder, the terms of such Order Form, Exhibit, addendum or Statement of Work shall prevail to the extent of any inconsistency. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary therein, no terms or conditions stated in a Client purchase order or in any other Client order documentation shall be incorporated into or form any part of this Agreement, and all such terms or conditions shall be null and void.
