The parties acknowledge and agree that a breach of this Agreement by either party may cause continuing and irreparable injury to the other’s business as a direct result of any such violation for which the remedies at law may be inadequate and that a disclosing party shall therefore be entitled and to seek to obtain a temporary restraining order and injunctive relief against the other party, without posting a bond or other security, to prevent any violations thereof, and, in addition , any other appropriate equitable relief. Each party’s obligations of non-disclosure with regard to Confidential Information are effective as of the Effective Date and shall apply during the Term of this Agreement and for a period of one (1) year thereafter; provided, however, with respect to any Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret (as determined under applicable law), such obligations of non-disclosure will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement or any Order Form, for as long as such Confidential Information remains subject to trade secret protection under applicable law.

If an IP Claim is made, Tech Soft 3D may modify the Software to be non-infringing, but still substantially similar to the current Software, or obtain for Customer a license to continue using the Software. If Tech Soft 3D determines it is not commercially reasonable or technically possible to perform either of the above options, then Tech Soft 3D may at its option elect to terminate this Agreement and refund to Customer the fees paid to Tech Soft 3D by Customer for the Software for the unused portion of the then current Order Form Term. Upon any such termination, Customer shall cease use of the Software. Tech Soft 3D shall have no indemnification obligations under this Section 16 (Indemnification by Tech Soft 3D), if the alleged infringement arises from: (i) Tech Soft 3D’s compliance with specifications or instructions prescribed by Customer; (ii) modification of the Software by Customer; (iii) use of the Software in combination with other software not provided by Tech Soft 3D and which use is not specifically described in the associated documentation, or (iv) use of the Software that does not include all Maintenance Releases made available to Customer by Tech Soft 3D if such Maintenance Release is necessary to avoid infringement. THIS SECTION 16 (INDEMNIFICATION BY TECH SOFT 3D) STATES CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND TECH SOFT 3D’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY AND OBLIGATION WITH RESPECT TO THIRD PARTY CLAIMS OF INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 16 (INDEMNIFICATION BY TECH SOFT 3D), TECH SOFT 3D SHALL NOT HAVE ANY OBLIGATION TO DEFEND OR INDEMNIFY CUSTOMER FOR THIRD PARTY CLAIMS.

  10. Limitation of Liability.

    1. Limitation on Types of Damages Recoverable.

    2. Limitation on the Amount of Damages Recoverable. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TECH SOFT 3D’S ENTIRE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING UNDER OR RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ORDER FORM, THE SOFTWARE, OR SOLUTIONS, REGARDLESS OF THE NATURE OF THE OBLIGATION, FORM OF ACTION OR THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, AND STRICT LIABILITY), IN ALL CASES SHALL BE LIMITED TO, AND SHALL NOT EXCEED, IN THE AGGREGATE, FEES PAID TO TECH SOFT 3D UNDER THIS AGREEMENT DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE FIRST EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY FOR THE SOFTWARE OR SOLUTIONS THAT ARE THE BASIS OF THE PARTICULAR CLAIM AND UNDER THE APPLICABLE ORDER FORM.

    3. Allocation of Risk. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FOREGOING DAMAGES EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 17 (LIMITATION OF LIABILITY) REFLECTS THE ALLOCATION OF RISK SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT HAVE ENTERED INTO THIS AGREEMENT ABSENT SUCH EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY OR THAT THE PRICES PAID BY CUSTOMER FOR THE SOFTWARE AND/OR SOLUTIONS WOULD HAVE BEEN HIGHER.

    4. No action, regardless of form, arising out of the transactions under this Agreement may be brought by either party against the other more than two (2) years after the cause of action has accrued, except for actions related to unpaid fees.

  11. Termination. In addition to any other express termination right set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement will terminate as follows:

    1. Default in Performance or Breach. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if either party defaults in the performance of or breaches any duty, or the payment of any amount due, under this Agreement, and such default or breach is incapable of cure or, being capable of cure, remains uncured thirty (30) days after written notice of default or breach given by the other party (other than Customer’s breach of Section 3 [Software License Grant] or Section 4 [Code of Conduct and Restrictions on Use], as specified above), the non-defaulting/non-breaching party may terminate this Agreement and any Order Form by giving written notice of termination. This Agreement and any Order Form will be terminated ten (10) days after such notice of termination (for uncurable breaches), or, immediately, if not cured upon the conclusion of the cure period, if any. If Customer breaches Section 3 (Software License Grant) or Section 4 (Code of Conduct and Restrictions on Use) of this Agreement, Tech Soft 3D may terminate this Agreement or any license to Software granted under this Agreement effective upon notice to Customer.

    2. Bankruptcy or Insolvency. Either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and any Order Form by giving written notice of termination to the other in the event of the insolvency or bankruptcy of such other, whether voluntary or involuntary, or the appointment of a trustee, receiver, or similar agent to take charge of or sell any material portion of such other’s property or business.

    3. Unless otherwise agreed in an Order Form, all Order Forms Terms shall automatically renew for the same duration and for the same number of Users as the original Order Form at the then-current rates and fees. Either party may terminate an expiring Order Form Term by written request, received by the other party at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration date of the applicable Order Form.

    4. Right of Return. Customer may terminate their subscription for Services under any Order Form and request a refund, provided that no material breach of this Agreement, any applicable Order Form (and any terms thereof) has occurred or is occurring at the time of such termination.  Subject to the terms of the applicable Order Form, the amount of the Customer’s refund shall: (i) be limited to any prepaid funds covering the remainder (if any) of the current term of Customer’s annual software subscription contract (the “Remaining Term”); and (ii) exclude any applicable taxes, transaction fees. In addition, the Customer shall be charged a return fee of 9.0% of the value of the fees for the Remaining Term, which shall be charged directly against any refund requested by the Customer hereunder. Refunds will be applied to the form of payment made by the Customer in making the Term Payment, and any right to refund is limited solely to annual software subscription contracts entered into between the Customer and Tech Soft 3D. 

    5. Effects of Expiration or Termination.

      1. Amounts Due. Unless specified in any Order Form, if an Order Form provides for ongoing payments during the Order Form Term, or Customer has not paid all fees due and Customer cancels prior to the end of such Order Form Term, Customer agrees to pay the full amount that has or would have become due during such Order Form Term, and such payment shall be due in full upon termination.

    1. Integration. This Agreement, together with any other documents incorporated herein by reference and all Addenda, constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the parties. It is the complete and exclusive expression of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, and representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements made in the body of this Agreement, the Addenda, and any other documents incorporated herein by reference, the following order of precedence governs: (i) first, any document incorporated herein by reference, including any exhibits, schedules, attachments and appendices to this Agreement, including any Order Forms and Addenda thereto, (ii) second, the Addenda to this Agreement as of the Effective Date; and (iii) third, this Agreement, excluding its Addenda.

    3. Non-Solicitation. Customer agrees that during the Term of this Agreement and for a period of twelve (12) months after termination of this Agreement, it will not recruit or solicit, without Tech Soft 3D’s prior written consent, any person then employed or engaged by Tech Soft 3D if such person became known to Customer through the relationship established pursuant to this Agreement. This prohibition will not apply to job opportunities posted on recruiting websites or in other publications in which Customer seeks to find candidates for open positions (absent direct solicitation and/or recruitment).

    4. Relationship of Parties. The parties hereto are independent contractors and this Agreement shall not create or imply an agency relationship between the parties. Pursuant to and during the term of this Agreement, Tech Soft 3D may, from time to time, request that Customer execute such instruments and documents appointing Tech Soft 3D an agent of the Customer for a specific limited purpose. An officer of Customer shall, in a timely manner, execute and deliver to Tech Soft 3D or the third party requiring the same, such instruments designating Tech Soft 3D as Customer’s agent to the extent required by Tech Soft 3D to manage and perform to Services provided by it under this Agreement.

    5. Captions. The descriptive headings of the Sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement, and do not affect this Agreement’s construction or interpretation.

    6. Force Majeure. Except for Customer’s payment obligations, in no event shall a party be liable to the other, or be deemed to have breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under this Agreement, if and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by any circumstances beyond such party’s reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, epidemic, pandemic, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, war, terrorism, invasion, riot or other civil unrest, strikes, data security incidents (including ransomware or other malware), labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, or passage of law or any action taken by a governmental or public authority, including imposing an embargo. The effected party shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate the extent of the aforementioned excusable delay or failure and their adverse consequences. Should any such delay or failure continue for more than thirty (30) days, the Agreement may be terminated without liability by the non-delaying party.

    7. Assignment, Transfer, & Sublicensing. Customer may not sell, assign, transfer, give, or sub-license in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise, any licenses granted hereunder or all or a portion of the Software, the benefits of, or obligations under, this Agreement without the prior written consent of Tech Soft 3D. Tech Soft 3D may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, at its discretion. Any purported assignment, transfer, or delegation in violation of this Section 19(g) (Assignment, Transfer & Sublicensing), is null and void. No assignment, transfer, or delegation will relieve the assigning or delegating party of any of its obligations hereunder.

    8. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties, their heirs, legal representatives, affiliates, and permitted successors and assigns.

    9. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would require or permit the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. This Agreement shall not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded.

    10. Venue. The parties agree that any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in a state or federal court serving Bend, Oregon, and the parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court in any such suit, action, or proceeding.

    11. Equitable Relief. Each party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such party of any of its obligations under Section 9 (Confidentiality Information) or, in the case of Customer, Section 4 (Code of Conduct and Restrictions on Use), would cause the other party irreparable harm for which monetary damages alone would not be an adequate remedy and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other party will be entitled to seek equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity, or otherwise.

    12. Amendments. No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be valid or binding upon the parties unless it is made in writing and signed by each of the parties.

    13. Non-Waiver. No failure or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement by either party will operate as a waiver of that any right, nor shall any partial exercise of any right preclude further exercise of the right.

    14. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under the laws of any state or the United States, the unaffected portions of this Agreement shall be unimpaired and remain in full force and effect. In the event of such a ruling, the parties shall negotiate in good faith a substitute for the provision declared invalid, illegal, or unenforceable.

Customer shall not, directly or indirectly, export, re-export, or release the Software or Solutions to, or make the Software or Solutions accessible from, any jurisdiction or country to which export, re-export, or release is prohibited by law, rule, or regulation. Customer shall comply with all applicable federal laws, regulations, and rules, and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval), prior to exporting, re-exporting, releasing, or otherwise making the Software or Solutions available outside the US.

    16. US Government Rights. Each of the Software and the associated documentation is a “commercial item” 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. Accordingly, if Customer is an agency of the US Government or any contractor therefor, Customer only receives those rights with respect to the Software and documentation as are granted to all other end users under license, in accordance with (a) 48 C.F.R. § 227.7201 through 48 C.F.R. § 227.7204, with respect to the Department of Defense and their contractors, or (b) 48 C.F.R. § 12.212, with respect to all other US Government licensees and their contractors. 

    17. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which is deemed an original, and all of which together are deemed a single instrument when signed by both parties.

    18. No Agency. This Agreement does not create any agency relationship between the parties.

    19. Attorney Fees. The prevailing party in any litigation concerning this Agreement will be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs, in addition to any other relief to which that party may be entitled.

    20. Publicity. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be interpreted so as to prevent Tech Soft 3D from publicizing its business relationship with Customer or the nature of the Software or Solutions sold to or performed for Customer.

    21. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement does not and is not intended to confer any enforceable rights or remedies upon any person or parties other than the parties hereto.

    22. Construction. The paragraph headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement, and shall not affect its interpretation. The terms of this Agreement are to be construed as singular, plural, masculine, feminine, or neuter, as context requires.

Tech Soft 3D warrants to Customer that: the Services shall be performed in a good, workmanlike, professional, and conscientious manner by experienced and qualified employees of Tech Soft 3D according to the generally accepted standards of the industry to which the Services pertain. Services will be deemed accepted by Customer if not rejected for non-conformance in a reasonably detailed writing submitted to Tech Soft 3D within five (5) days of performance of Services. Upon confirmation of the non-conformance, Tech Soft 3D will use commercially reasonable efforts to take the steps necessary to correct the non-conformance at no charge to Customer. This is Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for breach of this warranty.

  1. Escalation. Tech Soft 3D aims to provide the best customer experience possible. If Customer feels Tech Soft 3D Technical Support is not meeting these standards, Customer may escalate concerns to management by emailing support.critical@techsoft3d.com 

  2. Changes to Support. Tech Soft 3D may make changes to its Support from time to time. As Customer’s sole remedy in the event of a material change, Customer shall have the right to terminate this Addendum A and receive a pro-rata refund of any fees paid by Customer for such Support services for the terminated portion of the Term.

  3. Changes to this Addendum A. Tech Soft 3D may make changes to this Addendum A from time to time but will not reduce the level of Support for which Customer has paid.

    2.

Tech Soft 3D is not responsible for providing additional professional services, including additional implementation services or software customizations, except where Tech Soft 3D has agreed in writing to provide such services in a separate written agreement between the parties. Any customizations requested by Customer will be agreed upon through statements of work signed by the parties and will be governed by the Agreement and Tech Soft 3D’s Custom Developed Services Addendum. Support and availability for professional services and customizations differ from the Support described in this Support Services Addendum. If Customer performs any customization to the Solutions or the Software, or to applications that intend to interact with the Solutions or Software, without engaging Tech Soft 3D to perform the work, Tech Soft 3D will not guarantee that Customer’s modifications will function properly or remain secure, including when Maintenance Releases are applied, nor will Tech Soft 3D guarantee that optimal application performance will be met and maintained.

Tech Soft 3D reserves the right to refuse to provide ongoing storage of Customer Data, and to destroy any and all Customer Data then-stored, in the event Customer fails to pay the applicable Annual Maintenance Fee at any time. Tech Soft 3D further reserves the right to refuse reinstatement of reactivation if the period of time elapsed after expiration or termination of the Agreement exceeds twenty-four (24) months.

Survival. Those provisions that by their nature should survive termination the Agreement, will survive termination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing statement, Section 6 (Exclusions and Limitations) and Section 10 (Additional Services) of this Addendum A, will survive any expiration or termination of the Agreement.
