DEFINITIONS
Certain capitalized terms are defined below, and others are defined in the Agreement, contextually in this DPA, and otherwise as defined by Privacy Law (including with respect to similar nomenclature).
“Order” has the meaning given to it in the Agreement.
“Personal Data” means Your Data (as defined in the Agreement) and any other information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to or with an identified or identifiable natural person or consumer, which is processed by Katalon solely on behalf of Customer under this DPA and the Agreement.

PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
Roles of the Parties. The parties acknowledge and agree that with regard to the processing of Personal Data, Customer may act either as a controller or processor and Katalon is a processor. Customer appoints Katalon as a processor to process Personal Data (a) in accordance with Customer’s instructions as set forth in the Agreement and this DPA and as otherwise necessary to provide the Services to Customer, (b) as necessary to comply with applicable laws including Privacy Law, and (c) additional instructions as otherwise agreed-upon in writing by the Parties, including any additional fees for fulfilling additional instructions. Customer represents that its instructions will comply with Privacy Law, and acknowledges that Katalon is neither responsible for determining which laws are applicable to Customer’s business nor whether Katalon’s provision of the Services meets or will meet the requirements of such applicable laws. Katalon will inform Customer if it reasonably believes that any Customer instructions violate applicable laws including Privacy Law.
Katalon Affiliates and Personnel. Katalon will ensure that any affiliates or employees it authorizes to process Personal Data are subject to non-disclosure and confidentiality obligations consistent with Katalon’s confidentiality obligations in the Agreement and this DPA.
DATA SUBJECT REQUESTS
Third Party Requests. In the event any third-party request is made directly to Katalon in connection with Personal Data, Katalon will promptly inform Customer to the extent legally permitted. Katalon will not respond to any such request without Customer’s prior consent, except as legally required.
SUB-PROCESSORS
Authorization for Onward Sub-processing. Customer provides a general authorization for Katalon to engage onward sub-processors that is conditioned on the following requirements: (a) Katalon will restrict the onward sub-processor’s access to Personal Data only to what is strictly necessary to provide the Services, and Katalon will prohibit the sub-processor from processing the Personal Data for any other purpose; (b) Katalon agrees to impose contractual data protection obligations, including appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Personal Data, on any sub-processor it appoints that requires such sub-processor to protect Personal Data as required by Privacy Law; and (c) Katalon will remain liable for any breach of this DPA that is caused by an act, error, or omission of its sub-processors as if such breach is attributable to Katalon itself, subject to the terms on liability and indemnity under the Agreement.
Notifications Regarding Sub-processors. Customer consents to Katalon engaging third party sub-processors to process Personal Data within the Services as provided herein, provided that Katalon notify Customer of new sub-processors (including via email). Katalon will provide such notice no less than thirty (30) days prior to the addition of any sub-processor (the “Notice Period”). Customer may object to the addition of a sub-processor during the Notice Period, provided such objection is in writing and based on reasonable grounds relating to data protection. In such event, the Parties agree to discuss the objection in good faith, and if the Parties cannot reach a resolution within thirty (30) days of Customer’s written objection, Customer may discontinue use of the affected Services by providing written notice to Katalon, without prejudice to any fees incurred by Customer prior to discontinuation of the affected Services. If no objection is received during the Notice Period, the Customer is deemed to have authorized the new sub-processor.
Data Subject Rights. Katalon will endeavor to provide Customer with means to delete, obtain a copy of, or restrict use of Personal Data. Customer may use this functionality to comply with Privacy Law in response to data subject requests. To the extent Customer is unable to fulfill a data subject request accordingly, Katalon will, upon request, provide reasonable additional and timely assistance to assist Customer in complying with Privacy Law in response to the data subject request.
AUDIT & SECURITY
Impact Assessments and Audits. Katalon will provide reasonable cooperation to Customer in connection with any data protection impact assessment or similar undertaking (at Customer’s expense only if such reasonable cooperation will require Katalon to assign significant resources to that effort) or cooperation with regulatory authorities that may be required under Privacy Law.
Deletion of Personal Data. Katalon will delete or return to Customer any Personal Data stored upon request, subject to any legal retention obligations. Katalon may delete all Personal Data upon expiration or termination of the Agreement and/or this DPA, unless otherwise agreed-upon in writing. Personal Data stored in backup and disaster recovery repositories may be retained for a longer duration provided that it remains subject to this DPA until deleted.
Security. Katalon has implemented and will maintain technical and organizational security measures as set forth in the Agreement and this DPA. Katalon will share more detailed descriptions of such security measures with Customer from time-to-time.
CROSS-BORDER DATA TRANSFERS
Cross Border Data Transfers. To the extent Customer’s use of the Services requires an onward transfer mechanism to lawfully transfer Personal Data from one jurisdiction to another, the transfer of Personal Data will be subject to a single transfer mechanism in accordance with the following order of precedence:
  • One-Time Transfers. The Parties may expressly agree in writing (including via email) that a specified one-time transfer of Personal Data will be subject to a designated transfer mechanism (e.g., consent or another derogation);
  • EU Standard Contractual Clauses. The Parties agree that the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission in decision 2021/914 and as amended or replaced thereafter (“EU SCCs”) will apply to Personal Data that is transferred via the Services from the EEA/EU or Switzerland, either directly or via onward transfer, to any country or recipient outside the EEA that is: (a) not recognized by the European Commission (or, in the case of transfers from Switzerland, the competent authority for Switzerland) as providing an adequate level of protection for Personal Data. For data transfers from the EEA that are subject to the EU SCCs:
    (1) In Clause 7 of the EU SCCs, the optional docking clause may be exercised by Customer’s legal affiliates; In Clause 9 of the EU SCCs, Option 2 will apply and the time period for prior written notice of sub-processor changes will be as set forth in this DPA; In Clause 11 of the EU SCCs, the optional language will not apply; In Clause 17 (Option 1), the EU SCCs will be governed by Irish law; In Clause 18(b) of the EU SCCs, disputes will be resolved before the courts of Ireland.
    (2) In Annex I, Part A of the EU SCCs: Customer is the data exporter, and its contact is identified on the applicable Order of the Agreement.

By entering into the Agreement, data importer is deemed to have signed these EU SCCs incorporated herein, including their Annexes, as of the effective date of the Agreement.
    (3) In Annex I, Part B of the EU SCCs: The categories of data subjects are individuals captured in a recording or other form of data processed by Katalon as Personal Data on behalf of Customer; no sensitive data is anticipated to be processed by Katalon hereunder; the frequency of the transfer is a continuous basis for the duration of the Agreement; the nature and purpose of the processing is to provide the Services for Customer as contemplated in the applicable Order of the Agreement; the period for which the Personal Data will be retained is primarily the duration of the Agreement. For transfers to sub-processors, the subject matter, nature, and duration of the processing will be included in the list of its sub-processors referenced in, and made available pursuant to, the DPA.
    (4) In Annex I, Part C of the EU SCCs: The Irish Data Protection Commission will be the competent supervisory authority unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing. Security Measures in support of Annex II of the EU SCCs are described in the Agreement and DPA, and will be supplemented upon Customer’s request.
  • UK International Data Transfer Addendum. The Parties agree that the EU SCCs supplemented by the International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU Commission Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the UK Information Commissioner, Version B1.0, in force 21 March 2022 and as amended or replaced thereafter (“UK IDTA”) will apply to Personal Data that is transferred via the Services from the UK, either directly or via onward transfer, to any country or recipient outside of the UK that is not recognized by the competent UK regulatory authority or governmental body for the UK as providing an adequate level of protection for Personal Data. For data transfers from the UK that are subject to the UK IDTA, the UK IDTA is hereby entered into, incorporated by reference in this DPA, and completed as follows:

  • Transfers From Other Jurisdictions. Except as otherwise addressed under the DPA, any jurisdiction requiring a transfer mechanism not otherwise provided for under this DPA or the Agreement will be subject to EU SCCs as provided above.
OTHER PROVISIONS
Conflicts. To the extent there is any conflict or inconsistency between the (a) EU SCCs or UK IDTA and (b) any other terms in the Agreement or this DPA, the provisions of the EU SCCs or UK IDTA, as applicable, will prevail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any liability or indemnity claims brought in connection with this DPA (with the EU SCCs and UK IDTA) will be subject to the limitations of liability and other liability and indemnity terms and disclaimers set forth in the Agreement except to the extent prohibited by applicable law.
Modifications. Each party may by at least forty-five (45) calendar days prior written notice to the other party, request in writing any variations to this DPA if they are required as a result of any change in applicable Privacy Law to allow the processing of Persona Data to be made (or continue to be made) without breach of such Privacy Law. Pursuant to such notice the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate such required modification, and negotiate in good faith with a view to agreeing and implementing those or alternative variations designed to address the requirements under applicable Privacy Law as identified in Customer’s or processor’s notice as soon as is reasonably practicable. In addition, the processor may amend this DPA from time to time without notice, provided that such changes are not adverse in any material aspect with respect to the Customer’s rights or processor’s obligations (i.e. error and typos fixing, making technical adjustments or for any other reasons as the processor deems necessary). For clarity, if the processor makes any material adverse change to Customer’s rights or the processor’s obligations, the processor will notify Customer by posting an announcement on the site, via the Service and/or by sending an email.

Administration. The Offerings allow you to specify Users, including Admins. An Admin may have the ability to make Orders or enable features, products or services (which may incur fees); create, de-provision, monitor or modify User Accounts, and set User usage permissions or subscription renewal options; integrate or disable integration with Plugins and third-party products or services; and manage Your Data. You are responsible for whom you allow to become Admins and any actions they take, including as described above. You agree that our responsibilities do not extend to the internal management or administration of the Offerings to you.
Users. Only Users may access and use the Offerings. Some Offerings may allow you to designate different types of Users, in which case pricing and functionality may vary according to the type of User. You are responsible for the actions taken by your Users, and the compliance with these Terms by all Users, including what Users do with Your Data, and for all fees incurred by Users (or from adding Users). Any Offerings identified in an Order as being provided on per “user” basis have a specific natural person associated with each subscription, who must be identified in the User Account, and may not be changed in a manner to circumvent the number of Users permitted. A User associated with a “user” based subscription may access and use the applicable Offerings on any Internet browser and/or computer within your internal enterprise network, provided that only one User is assigned to a User Account and multiple individuals may not share the same User Account.
ACCESS TO, AND USE OF, OFFERINGS
Access to Offerings. Subject to these Terms and during the applicable Subscription Term, you are granted a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable and non-transferable right for Users to access and use the Offerings for (a) your internal business purposes for your and your Affiliates’ benefits, and (b) the internal business purposes of Your Customers as part of the services that you provide to them, as applicable.
Use by Your Affiliates, Contractors, and Your Customers. You are only permitted to add your Affiliates, contractors, and Your Customers as Users (“Additional Users”) to access and use the Offerings, provided that:

  • Contractors are permitted to use the Offerings solely on your behalf as necessary to provide services to you; and
  • Your Customers are permitted to use the Offerings as part of the services that you provide to them solely with respect to your products and services.

Payment Disputes. You will notify us in writing within thirty (30) days of the date we bill you for any fees that you wish to dispute. Where you are disputing any fees, you must act reasonably and in good faith and will cooperate diligently with us to resolve the dispute.

As between the parties, you retain all right, title and interest (including any and all intellectual property rights) in and to Your Data and any modifications made thereto in the course of the operation of the Offerings. Subject to these Terms, you hereby grant to us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right to use, copy, store, transmit, modify, create derivative works of, and display (a) Your Data solely to the extent necessary to provide the Offerings to you, or to prevent or address service or technical problems under these Terms, or as may be required by law; and (b) Your Data for any of our internal business purposes, provided that such data is transformed and maintained in anonymized and aggregated form such that it does not contain any personal data subject to Privacy Law.

We will implement and maintain administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for the protection of the security, confidentiality and integrity of, and prevention of any unauthorized use, access, processing, destruction, loss, alteration, or disclosure of, Your Data, in accordance with applicable industry standards. We will notify you immediately following discovery of any suspected breach or compromise of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of Your Data.

We will use reasonable efforts to provide you with advance notice of removals and suspensions when practicable, but if we determine that your actions endanger the operation of the Offerings or other users, we may suspend your access or remove Your Data immediately without notice. We have no liability to you for removing or deleting Your Data from or suspending your access to any Offerings.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Non-Use and Nondisclosure. Each party shall treat as confidential all Confidential Information of the other party, shall not use such Confidential Information except to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under these Terms, and shall not disclose such Confidential Information to any employee or third party, except to those Users, employees, advisors or representatives of the recipient who are under a contractual or fiduciary duty of confidentiality similar in content to the provisions hereof and whom the recipient will remain responsible for hereunder (“Representatives”) and who are required to have access to such Confidential Information in order to perform the obligations under these Terms. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the parties shall use at least the same degree of care it uses to prevent the disclosure of its own confidential information of like importance, which care shall be no less than reasonable care, to prevent the disclosure of Confidential Information of the other party.
Exceptions. The receiving party may disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing party if so required pursuant to a regulation, law, subpoena, or court order (collectively, “Compelled Disclosures”), provided the receiving party gives the disclosing party notice of a Compelled Disclosure (to the extent legally permitted). The receiving party will provide reasonable cooperation to the disclosing party in connection with a Compelled Disclosure at the disclosing party’s sole expense.
Feedback. You may provide suggestions, feedback and other information to us regarding possible improvements in the operation, functionality or use of the Offerings (“Feedback”). You hereby grant us the perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable right to use, copy, modify, create derivative works of and otherwise fully exploit the Feedback to improve the operation, functionality or use of our existing and future Offerings and commercializing such Offerings.
CHANGES TO TERMS
Changes to these Terms. We may modify the terms and conditions of these Terms from time to time, with notice to you in accordance with the provision on Notices below or by posting the modified Terms on our website; provided however, any modifications to these Terms will take effect at the next renewal of your Subscription Term and will automatically apply as of the renewal date unless you elect not to renew. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in some cases (e.g., to address compliance with Laws, or as necessary for new features) we may specify that such modifications become effective during your then-current Subscription Term or, solely with respect to additional or modified terms for new Offerings or features, upon your use of such new Offerings or features. If the effective date of such modifications is during your then-current Subscription Term and you object to the modifications, then (as your exclusive remedy) you may terminate your affected Orders upon notice to us, and we will refund to you any fees you have pre-paid for use of the affected Offering for the terminated portion of the applicable Subscription Term. To exercise this right, you must provide us with notice of your objection and termination within thirty (30) days of us providing notice of the modifications. For the avoidance of doubt, any Order is subject to the version of these Terms in effect at the time of the Order.
TERM AND TERMINATION
Term. These Terms will commence upon your acceptance of an Order, your creation or access to a User Account, or your download, installation, activation or use of the Offerings and will remain in effect until otherwise terminated as set forth below.
Termination. A party may terminate any Order if the other party commits any material breach of such Order (or the provisions of these Terms applicable to the particular Order) and does not remedy the material breach within thirty (30) days after the date that it receives notice of the breach. These Terms may be terminated by either party immediately upon written notice, in the event that: (a) the other party files a petition, in bankruptcy, seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, or similar relief under any Law regarding insolvency or relief for debtors, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (b) a receiver, trustee, or similar officer is appointed for the business or property of such party; or (c) the other party adopts a resolution for discontinuance of its business or for dissolution. We may terminate these Terms immediately in the event you fail to make any payments of fees when such payments are due or if you commit a material breach that is not capable of being cured or if you don’t cure such material breach within 30 days’ of written notice from us. Termination of an Order shall not be deemed a termination of these Terms. Termination of these Terms shall, however, terminate all outstanding Orders. Either party may also terminate these Terms upon no less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other party for any reason, if at such time there are no outstanding Orders then currently in effect.
Suspension of the Offerings. We may suspend use of the Offerings immediately upon notice to you for cause if we, in good faith, determine: (a) that you or your Users materially breach (or we, in good faith, believe that you or your Users have materially breached) any provision of these Terms, and such breach violates a third party right or materially impacts the performance of the Offerings or other users’ enjoyment of the Offerings; (b) there is an unusual and material spike or increase in your use of the Offerings and that such traffic or use is fraudulent or materially and negatively impacting the operating capability of any products or services on the Offerings; (c) that our provision of the products or services on the Offerings is prohibited by applicable Law; (d) there is any use of the Offerings by you or your Users that threatens the security, integrity, or availability of the Offerings; or (e) that information in your User Account or User Accounts of your Users are untrue, inaccurate, incomplete or otherwise fraudulent.
Subscription Auto-Renewal. To ensure that you will not experience any interruption or loss of services, your subscription to the Offerings include an automatic renewal option by default, according to which, unless you disable the auto-renewal option or cancel or modify your subscription prior to its expiration, the subscription will automatically renew upon the end of the then applicable Subscription Term for additional annual subscription periods subject to these Terms; provided that if your applicable Subscription Term is for a monthly period, your subscription will automatically renew for additional monthly subscription periods subject to these Terms. You will provide any notice of non-renewal through the means we designate, which may include account settings on the Offerings or contacting our support team. Canceling your subscription means that you will not be charged for the next billing cycle, but you will not receive any refunds or credits for amounts that have already been charged. Unless specified in an applicable Order, all renewals (a) are subject to the applicable products or services continuing to be offered on the Offerings, (b) will be charged at the then-current prices for the applicable Offerings, (c) will exclude any discount or other promotions offered during the prior Subscription Term, and (d) are subject to any changes in usage policies, usage limits or other Scope of Use. You agree that we may bill your credit card or other payment methods for renewals, additional users, overages to set limits or Scopes of Use, expenses, and unpaid fees, as applicable. Either party may elect to not renew an Order by giving the other party at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to terminate such Order before the beginning of the next Subscription Term for such Order, and such termination shall be effective at the end of the then-current Subscription Term.
Effect of Termination. Upon any termination or expiration of these Terms or any applicable Order, we shall no longer provide the applicable Offerings to you, and you shall promptly cease and cause your Users to promptly cease using the applicable Offerings. Upon termination of these Terms, each party shall promptly return or destroy all Confidential Information of the other party in its possession, except that each party may keep a copy of the other party’s Confidential Information for archival purposes, or otherwise in accordance with their respective internal recordkeeping procedures, or in compliance with applicable Laws, and will not be required to delete or destroy any copies maintained in its normal-course back-up media. After termination of any Order, we will have no obligation to store and/or make available Your Data for the applicable Offerings, and we may delete the same. All rights and obligations of the parties which by their nature are reasonably intended to survive such termination or expiration will survive termination or expiration of these Terms and each Order.
DISCLAIMERS, INDEMNIFICATION, AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Offering Warranty. We warrant that during the Subscription Term, the Offerings will conform, in all material respects, with the Documentation. Such warranty shall only apply if the Offerings have been utilized by you in accordance with the Order, the Documentation, and these Terms.

Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS, WE MAKE NO, AND DISCLAIMS ALL, WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NONINFRINGEMENT, SATISFACTORY QUALITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. WE DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE OFFERINGS WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR THAT THE OFFERINGS WILL MEET YOUR OR YOUR USERS’ REQUIREMENTS OR THAT ALL ERRORS IN THE OFFERINGS WILL BE CORRECTED, AND WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY COMPONENTS OR APPLICATIONS CREATED OR PROVIDED BY A PARTY OTHER THAN US. THE WARRANTIES STATED IN THIS SECTION ARE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES OFFERED BY US. You agree that any use or purchase of our products or services shall not be contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features, or dependent on any oral or written comments we make regarding future functionality or features.
Our Indemnification. We will defend you, your Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Customer Indemnitees”), against any claim, demand, suit or legal proceeding made or brought against any of the Customer Indemnitees by a third party alleging that the Offerings infringe or misappropriate such third party’s U.S. intellectual property rights (a “Claim Against Customer”), and will indemnify the Customer Indemnitees from any damages (including reasonable attorney fees and costs) finally awarded against any of the Customer Indemnitees as a result of, or for amounts paid under a court-approved settlement of, a Claim Against Customer. If a Claim Against Customer is brought or is likely, in our sole opinion, to be brought, we will, at our option and expense (a) obtain the right for you to continue using the Offering; (b) replace or modify the affected Offering so that it becomes non-infringing; or (c) upon notice to you, terminate these Terms or your use of the affected Offerings, provided that in the case of subsection (c) we will promptly refund to you the prorated portion of any unearned pre-paid subscription fees paid hereunder for the affected Offerings. Our obligations in this section do not apply to: (i) any products, services, technology, materials or data created or provided by a party other than us (including without limitation Your Data), (ii) any part of the Offerings made in whole or in part in accordance to your specifications, (iii) any modifications not made by us, (iv) any combination with other products, processes or materials not provided by us (where the alleged damages, costs or expenses arise from or relate to such combination), (v) where you continue the allegedly infringing activity after being notified thereof or after being informed of modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement, or (vi) your use of the Offerings not strictly in accordance with these Terms, the Scope of Use or any Documentation, ((i) through (vi), the “Excluded Claims”).
Your Indemnification. You will defend us, our Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Katalon Indemnitees”) against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against any or all of the Katalon Indemnitees by a third party arising out of or attributable to the Excluded Claims, and will indemnify the Katalon Indemnitees from any damages, reasonable attorney fees and costs finally awarded against the Katalon Indemnitees as a result of, or for any amounts paid under a court-approved settlement of an Excluded Claim.
Indemnification Procedure. Each party’s obligation to indemnify the other party is conditioned on the party seeking indemnification: (a) promptly notifying the indemnifying party in writing of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed, provided that failure to so notify will not remove the indemnifying Party’s obligation except to the extent it is prejudiced thereby, (b) allowing the indemnifying party to solely control the defense of any claim, suit or proceeding and all negotiations for settlement; provided that the indemnifying party shall not settle any claim that requires the indemnified party to admit fault without the indemnified party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (c) giving the indemnifying party reasonable assistance in the defense and settlement of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed.
Sole Remedy. The foregoing indemnity obligations state the indemnifying party’s sole liability to, and the indemnified party’s exclusive remedy against, the other party for any type of claim described in this section.
Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY UNDER THESE TERMS OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF CLAIM OR ACTION: (I) IN AN AMOUNT THAT EXCEEDS THE FEES YOU HAVE PAID FOR THE OFFERINGS UNDER THE APPLICABLE ORDER IN THE PRECEDING 12 MONTHS; OR (II) FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR COSTS (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF GOODWILL OR PROFIT, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS) IN CONNECTION WITH THE OFFERINGS OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR COSTS. The limitations of liability set forth in this paragraph will not apply to: (a) each party’s violation of the other party’s intellectual property rights; (b) your payment obligations; and (c) a party’s liability related to (i) its indemnification obligations, (ii) its material breach of its confidentiality obligations, (iii) its breach of any restrictions on the access or use of the Offerings, and/or (iv) gross negligence or intentional misconduct, or (c) any obligation where the applicable Law does not allow the limitation(s) thereof. The parties hereby acknowledge that the provisions of this paragraph allocate the risks under these Terms and the applicable Order which are acknowledged and agreed by and between you and us, and our pricing reflects this allocation of risk and the limitation of liability specified herein.
MISCELLANEOUS
Assignment. Neither these Terms nor any rights or obligations under these Terms may be assigned or otherwise transferred by either party without the prior written consent of the other party; provided that, such prior written consent is not required for any assignment by either party to its Affiliates or to any successor of substantially all of its business or assets to which these Terms relates, whether by merger, sale of assets, sale of stock, reorganization or otherwise. These Terms shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
Governing Law. These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of any jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms. To the extent that any lawsuit is permitted under these Terms, the parties hereby expressly consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia, USA (to the extent not addressed by arbitration below, if any).
Dispute Resolution. In the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy in connection with these Terms (collectively, “Disputes”), each party’s senior representatives will, in good faith, attempt to resolve the Dispute. If the parties are unable to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days or within such other time period as the parties may agree in writing, then the parties may commence binding arbitration under JAMS’ Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The parties will share equally the fees and expenses of the JAMS arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted by a sole arbitrator mutually agreed to between the parties within twenty (20) days of receipt by respondent of the request for arbitration or, failing that, by JAMS under its then prevailing rules. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant specific performance or any other equitable or legal remedy, including provisional remedies, provided that the arbitrator will have no authority to award punitive damages or consequential damages or liquidated damages. Each party will be responsible for its own incurred expenses arising out of any dispute resolution procedure. Any arbitration proceedings will be conducted in the English language and will take place in Fulton County, Georgia, USA.
Injunctive Relief. Nothing contained in these Terms shall deny either party the right to seek immediate injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction: (a) in the context of a bona fide emergency or prospective irreparable harm to preserve the status quo pending resolution of a dispute between the parties or (b) where a party alleges or claims a violation of any agreement regarding intellectual property, confidential information or noninterference. Such an action may be filed and maintained notwithstanding any ongoing discussions between the parties or any ongoing arbitration proceeding.
Additional Customer Terms. Additional terms and conditions specific to certain products and services in the Offerings are set forth in the Addendum (the “Additional Customer Terms”). If you use any of the Offerings described in the Additional Customer Terms, the Additional Customer Terms will apply with respect to such Offerings, in addition to these Terms, and such Additional Customer Terms are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

You shall not, directly or indirectly, import, export, re-export or transship the Offerings, services, or technical information in violation of any applicable export control and economic sanctions laws and regulations of any country having jurisdiction over the Offerings, or parties to these Terms (“Export Laws”), including without limitation, the U.S. Export Administration Regulations and those economic sanctions regulations maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and any other economic sanctions imposed by the U.S Government upon any country, territory, or person. You represent and warrant that (a) you are not the subject or target of, and that you are not located in a country or territory (including without limitation, Belarus, Russia, North Korea, Cuba, Iran, Syria, and Crimea) that is the subject or target of, economic sanctions of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions, and (b) none of Your Data is controlled under the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations or similar Laws in other jurisdictions.

You agree to comply with all applicable Export Laws and will indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless from any claim against us due to your violation or alleged violation of the Export Laws.
U.S. Government End-Use Provisions. The following applies to all acquisitions of the Offerings and Documentation by or for the U.S. government or by any prime contractor or subcontractor under any contract, grant or other activity with the U.S. government. The Offerings and Documentation and services utilizing the Offerings and Documentation provided under these Terms are “commercial items” 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 and other applicable acquisition regulations and are provided to the U.S. Government only as a commercial item. Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202, all U.S. Government users and licensees acquire the Offerings and its associated services and Documentation with only those rights and are subject to the restrictions set forth in these Terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Offerings and its associated services and Documentation may not be acquired by the U.S. government pursuant to a contract incorporating clauses prescribed by FAR Subpart 27.4 or DFARS Subpart 227.4.
Force Majeure. Nonperformance of either party, except for the making of payments, shall be excused to the extent that performance is rendered impossible by strike, fire, flood, earthquake, governmental acts or orders or restrictions, cyber-attacks, information security and data breaches caused by third parties, failure of cloud services, failure of suppliers, or any other reason where failure to perform is beyond the reasonable control of such party (collectively, “Force Majeure Events”). The party affected by a Force Majeure Event will take all reasonable actions to minimize the consequences of any such event.
Entire Agreement; Amendment. These Terms together with the Orders, and any attachments, schedules, exhibits and addenda (including without limitations, the Additional Customer Terms) referenced herein (the “Attachments”) constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof. All prior or contemporaneous agreements, proposals, understandings, and communications between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof, whether oral or written, are superseded by and merged into these Terms. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, no modification or amendment to these Terms, nor any Attachment or Order, will be binding unless by an agreement in writing signed by both parties (or in the case of online Terms, accepted by you) that specifically references and clearly states the intention to amend these Terms, such Attachment or such Order, as applicable. Any terms and conditions set forth in an Order shall solely be applicable to such Order and shall not affect any other Orders between the parties. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and those of any Order or Attachment, these Terms will control (unless such Order or Attachment is intended to control), and the terms of an Order, an Attachment, and these Terms will prevail over any conflicting provision in any purchase order or any other instrument regardless of execution by the parties. You may not use a purchase order or other instrument not issued by us to modify or add to these Terms, and all such attempted modifications or additions to these Terms in any such purchase order or instrument shall be void and of no effect, even if accepted or signed by both parties. Any purchase orders that are accepted by us are accepted expressly subject to these Terms without regard to any additional or conflicting terms therein. If you have a separate written agreement with us for your use of the Offerings, these Terms will not apply to you, unless that written agreement does not cover a particular product or service, in which case, these Terms apply solely to your use of that particular product or service.
Other Miscellaneous Terms. The relationship between the parties to these Terms is and shall be that of independent contractors. It is expressly agreed that nothing in these terms shall be construed to create or imply a partnership, joint venture, agency relationship or contract of employment. There are no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms. Any waiver of the provisions of these Terms or of a party’s rights or remedies under these Terms must be in writing referencing these Terms to be effective. Failure, neglect, or delay by a party to enforce the provisions of these Terms or its rights or remedies at any time shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such party’s rights under these Terms and shall not prejudice such party’s right to take subsequent action. A party’s waiver of the performance of any covenant or any breach is not to be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach or of any other covenant. If any term, condition, or provision in these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable term, condition or provision shall be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions, which shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. The language of these Terms, any Attachments and all Orders is English. All contract interpretations, notices and dispute resolutions shall be in English. Translations of any of these documents are not to be construed as official or original versions of the documents.

AI PRODUCTS
Using AI Products in the Offerings present significant opportunities for new and efficient forms of content creation and Test Content generation, across a wide range of automation software testing. However, AI Products also present new and unsettled legal and business risks that necessitate caution. Among other concerns, companies risk disclosing and losing control of confidential information incorporated in Input, generating Output that may violate third party rights, and creating content for commercialization that may appear proprietary but is not, meaning there is a potential risk that what is created through AI Products may be used by others.
Because of the risks associated with AI Products, you will have the option to turn off or not use AI Products in the Offerings and use of AI Products is at your discretion. AS SUCH, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT OUTPUT IS GENERATED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE LEARNING CAPABILITIES, AND WE MAKE NO WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE AS TO THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS OR RELIABILITY OF THE OUTPUT. WE DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO, AND YOU AGREE THAT WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR, ANY USE OF AI PRODUCTS CONSISTENT WITH THESE TERMS, INCLUDING ANY OUTPUT GENERATED BY AI PRODUCTS. Due to the nature of AI Products, (a) our does not apply to AI Products, (b) Output may not be unique across Users and AI Products may generate the same or similar Output for you and other customers, (c) Output does not represent our views and is not our professional advice or opinion, (d) Output will not be deemed as Confidential Information, and (e) you will not, and ensure your Users not to, represent that Output is human-generated. To the extent that you have any right, title or interest in Input and Output, you hereby grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual license to access, use, copy, perform, store, transmit, modify, and display, Input and Output to provide the Offerings to you and to support and improve AI Products.
We may use technology provided by third party service providers (such as OpenAI) to provide our AI Products. You agree that Input and Output may be shared with and processed by such third-party service providers for the purpose of providing AI Products to you. By using the AI Products (including any Output), you acknowledge and agree to comply with, and to require your Users to comply with the following terms and policies of such third party service provider(s):

RESELLER RIGHTS AND RESTRICTIONS
License and Distribution Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, we hereby grant you a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, non-sublicensable license to distribute the Offerings to Customers pursuant to an Order. You may not appoint sub-distributors, resellers or other third parties to make available the Offerings to Customers, unless otherwise approved by us in writing. We also provide a copy of the Documentation that you may use in connection with the distribution of Offerings.
Order Process. You shall execute an Order for each resale of the Offerings to a Customer. Each Order will contain (i) a reference to this Agreement; (ii) the Offerings and fees; (iii) Customer delivery details; (iv) the delivery date; (v) the Customer’s Subscription Term; and (vi) other terms and conditions applicable to the license. Each executed Order is subject to and will be governed by the terms of this Agreement, but the parties may agree in any Order on additional terms for such Order, provided that such additional terms are not in conflict with this Agreement. The Offerings may not be provided to a Customer unless and until there is a valid Order for such Offering, and no Order is valid unless and until it is fully executed by both parties.
CUSTOMER TERMS OF USE
Before a Customer receives access to the Offerings, the Customer must enter into the Customer Agreement. The Customer will register for an account and enter into the Customer Agreement via the procedure on the Katalon website or in the Offerings. The Customer Agreement will be between the Customer and Katalon, except that Customers will pay you for the Offerings. In your dealings with Customers, you shall not override or modify the terms of the Customer Agreement.

CUSTOMER RELATIONS
You shall notify us whenever there is a change in your relationship with a Customer (e.g., termination) that affects the parties’ obligations under this Agreement.
CHANGE IN PRODUCTS
From time to time and without incurring any liability to you, we may, upon 30 days’ written notice: (i) change, add to or delete from the list of available Offerings, (ii) change fees or our pricing model, (iii) change or terminate the level or type of support that we offer to Customers, or (iv) request that you purchase licenses for the Offerings through another distributor or agent of Katalon.

We will not charge you a late fee or suspend the provision of the Offerings for unpaid fees that are in dispute, unless you fail to cooperate diligently with us, or we determine the dispute is not reasonable or not brought in good faith by you.
REFERRALS
Registration of Leads. You may refer a lead to us in order for us to sell our Offerings (a “Proposed Lead”) by filling in the Opportunity Registration Form we provide or make available on our website. You shall not refer a direct competitor of Katalon or any entity on the Restricted Party Lists as a Proposed Lead. If the Proposed Lead (a) is not a potential customer that Katalon is engaging, and (b) has not been referred or registered by any other party, we will send you written approval following the submission of the Opportunity Registration Form acknowledging your registration of such Proposed Lead. If the Proposed Lead has been previously identified by Katalon or referred by another party, you will be promptly notified and shall not be entitled to receive a Referral Commission (as defined below).
Pursuit of Proposed Leads by Katalon. We may, at our sole discretion, contact and seek business opportunities in Proposed Leads.
Qualified Referral. A Proposed Lead becomes a qualified referral (“Qualified Referral”), and you become eligible for a Referral Commission only if: (a) your registration of such Proposed Lead has been approved by us in writing; (b) you have not entered into any agreement with respect to the use of the Offerings with such Proposed Lead; and (c) such Proposed Lead enters into a Customer Agreement for the use of the Offerings with us within 90 days from the date of the written approval of such Proposed Lead registration.

Payment. Referral Commission payments will be paid (i) after we fully receive the full Net Revenue from a Qualified Referral, and (ii) within thirty (30) days upon our receipt of your invoice for such Referral Commission amount.

Without limiting the foregoing, each party shall use at least the same degree of care it uses to prevent the disclosure of its own confidential information of like importance, which care shall be no less than reasonable care, to prevent the disclosure of Confidential Information of the other party.
Exceptions. The receiving party may disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing party if required pursuant to a regulation, law, subpoena, or court order (collectively, “Compelled Disclosures”), provided the receiving party gives the disclosing party notice of a Compelled Disclosure (to the extent legally permitted). The receiving party will provide reasonable cooperation to the disclosing party in connection with a Compelled Disclosure at the disclosing party’s sole expense.
Feedback. You may provide suggestions, feedback and other information to us regarding possible improvements in the operation, functionality or use of the Offerings (“Feedback”). You hereby grant us the perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable right to use, copy, modify, create derivative works of and otherwise fully exploit the Feedback to improve the operation, functionality or use of our existing and future offerings and commercializing such offerings.
INDEMNIFICATION
Our Indemnification. We will defend you, your Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Reseller Indemnitees”), against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against any of the Reseller Indemnitees by a third party alleging that the Offerings infringe or misappropriate such third party’s U.S. intellectual property rights (a “Claim Against Reseller”), and will indemnify the Reseller Indemnitees from any damages (including reasonable attorney fees and costs) finally awarded against any of the Reseller Indemnitees as a result of, or for amounts paid under a court-approved settlement of, a Claim Against Reseller. If a Claim Against Reseller is brought or is likely, in our sole opinion, to be brought, we will, at our option and expense (a) obtain the right for your Customer to continue using the Offering; (b) replace or modify the affected Offering so that it becomes non-infringing; or (c) upon notice to you, terminate this Agreement or your Customer’s use of the affected Offerings, provided that in the case of subsection (c) we will promptly refund to you the prorated portion of any unearned pre-paid subscription fees paid hereunder for the affected Offerings. Our obligations in this section do not cover third party claims to the extent such claims arise from: (i) any products, services, technology, materials or data created or provided by a party other than us, (ii) any part of the Offerings made in whole or in part in accordance to your specifications, (iii) any modifications not made by us, (iv) any combination with other products, processes or materials not provided by us (where the alleged damages, costs or expenses arise from or relate to such combination), (v) where you continue the allegedly infringing activity after being notified thereof or after being informed of modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement, or (vi) your use of the Offerings not strictly in accordance with this Agreement or any Documentation ((i) through (vi), the “Excluded Claims”).
Your Indemnification. You will defend us, our Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Katalon Indemnitees”) against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against any or all of the Katalon Indemnitees by a third party arising out of or attributable to the Excluded Claims, and will indemnify the Katalon Indemnitees from any damages, reasonable attorney fees and costs finally awarded against the Katalon Indemnitees as a result of, or for any amounts paid under a court-approved settlement of an Excluded Claim.
Indemnification Procedure. Each party’s obligation to indemnify the other party is conditioned on the party seeking indemnification: (a) promptly notifying the indemnifying party in writing of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed, provided that failure to so notify will not remove the indemnifying party’s obligation except to the extent it is prejudiced thereby, (b) allowing the indemnifying party to solely control the defense of any claim, suit or proceeding and all negotiations for settlement; provided that the indemnifying party shall not settle any claim that requires the indemnified party to admit fault without the indemnified party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (c) giving the indemnifying party reasonable assistance in the defense and settlement of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed.
Sole Remedy. The foregoing indemnity obligations state the indemnifying party’s sole liability to, and the indemnified party’s exclusive remedy against, the other party for any type of claim described in this section.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF CLAIM OR ACTION: (I) IN AN AMOUNT THAT EXCEEDS THE FEES YOU HAVE PAID FOR THE OFFERINGS UNDER THE APPLICABLE ORDER IN THE PRECEDING 12 MONTHS; OR (II) FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR COSTS (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF GOODWILL OR PROFIT, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS) IN CONNECTION WITH THE OFFERINGS OR THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR COSTS. The limitations of liability set forth in this paragraph will not apply to: (a) each party’s violation of the other party’s intellectual property rights; (b) your payment obligations; and (c) a party’s liability related to (i) its indemnification obligations, (ii) its breach of its confidentiality obligations, (iii) its breach of any restrictions on the access or use of the Offerings, and/or (iv) gross negligence or intentional misconduct, or (c) any obligation where the applicable law does not allow the limitation(s) thereof. The parties hereby acknowledge that the provisions of this paragraph allocate the risks under this Agreement and the applicable Order which are acknowledged and agreed by and between you and us, and our pricing reflects this allocation of risk and the limitation of liability specified herein.
TERM AND TERMINATION
Term. The term of this Agreement will commence upon your acceptance of an Order and will continue until terminated by a party in accordance with this Agreement.
Termination. A party may terminate any Order if the other party commits any material breach of such Order (or the provisions of this Agreement applicable to the particular Order) and does not remedy the material breach within 30 days after the date it receives notice of the breach.

“Software” means our commercially available downloadable, standalone or on-premises software products, including such products hosted on your cloud-based services and mobile applications of such products. Your Order will specify the Software that you may resell.
“Subscription Term” means, with respect to a Customer, such Customer’s permitted subscription period for a subscription-based Offering designated on an Order and any renewal thereof. The initial Subscription Term begins (i) for Cloud Products, on the Order effective date (or, if no date is specified, upon activation), and (ii) for Software, on the Order effective date (or, if no date is specified or if the Software is delivered later, upon delivery of the Software). Activation of a Cloud Product will occur upon the creation of an account for the Cloud Product for such Customer’s use. Delivery of the Software will occur via a download link for the installation package and instructions, which you or the Customer will receive upon execution of an Order. Software license files and activation will be provided once you or such Customer furnishes us with the Customer’s machine ID. You and/or such Customer are responsible for providing this ID so we can generate the license file.
“Taxes” means any applicable taxes, levies, duties, or other similar exactions imposed by a legal, governmental, or regulatory authority in any applicable jurisdiction, including, without limitation, sales, use, value-added, consumption, communications, or withholding taxes.

7. INDEMNIFICATION.
7.1. Our Indemnification. We will defend you, your Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Partner Indemnitees”), against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against any of the Partner Indemnitees by a third party alleging that the Offerings infringe or misappropriate such third party’s U.S. intellectual property rights (a “Claim Against Partner”), and will indemnify the Partner Indemnitees from any damages (including reasonable attorney fees and costs) finally awarded against any of the Partner Indemnitees as a result of, or for amounts paid under a court-approved settlement of, a Claim Against Partner. If a Claim Against Partner is brought or is likely, in our sole opinion, to be brought, we will, at our option and expense (a) obtain the right for you to continue using the Offering; (b) replace or modify the affected Offering so that it becomes non-infringing; or (c) upon notice to you, terminate this Agreement or your use of the affected Offerings, provided that in the case of subsection (c) we will promptly refund to you the prorated portion of any unearned pre-paid subscription fees paid hereunder for the affected Offerings.

7.3. Indemnification Procedure. Each party’s obligation to indemnify the other party is conditioned on the party seeking indemnification: (a) promptly notifying the indemnifying party in writing of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed, provided that failure to so notify will not remove the indemnifying party’s obligation except to the extent it is prejudiced thereby, (b) allowing the indemnifying party to solely control the defense of any claim, suit or proceeding and all negotiations for settlement; provided that the indemnifying party shall not settle any claim that requires the indemnified party to admit fault without the indemnified party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (c) giving the indemnifying party reasonable assistance in the defense and settlement of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed.

We may modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement from time to time, with notice to you in accordance with the provision on Notices below or by posting the modified Agreement on our website; provided, however, any modifications to this Agreement will take effect at the next renewal of the Term and will automatically apply as of the renewal date unless you elect not to renew. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in some cases (e.g., to address compliance with laws, as necessary for new features, or to update Partner Program Terms) we may specify that such modifications become effective during your then-current Term. If the effective date of such modifications is during your then-current Term and you object to the modifications, then (as your exclusive remedy) you may terminate this Agreement.

All rights and obligations of the parties which by their nature are reasonably intended to survive such termination or expiration will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement and each Order. Subject to the foregoing and to any rights or obligations which have accrued prior to the termination, neither party shall have any further obligation to the other party under this Agreement.
10.6. No Assurances. You have no expectation and have received no assurances that your business relationship with us will continue for any specified time beyond the term of this Agreement, that any investment in the promotion of the Offerings will be recovered or recouped, or that it will receive any anticipated amount of profits by virtue of this Agreement. Neither party shall be liable to any other damages, indemnity, or compensation solely on account of the termination or expiration of this Agreement with or without cause as provided herein, whether such damages, indemnity, or compensation might be claimed for loss through loss of investments, loss of present or prospective profits, loss of goodwill or any other loss caused by termination or expiration of this Agreement howsoever arising, and whether foreseeable or otherwise. However, termination or expiration of this Agreement, howsoever arising, shall not prejudice in any way any rights of a party with regard to any antecedent breaches by the other party which occurred on or before the date of termination or expiration, as the case may be.
11. MISCELLANEOUS.
11.1. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or otherwise transferred by either party without the prior written consent of the other party; provided that, such prior written consent is not required for any assignment by either party to its Affiliates or to any successor of substantially all of its business or assets to which this Agreement relates, whether by merger, sale of assets, sale of stock, reorganization or otherwise.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous understandings, communications, statements, agreements, and arrangements with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether written or oral. Any waiver of the provisions of this Agreement or of a party’s rights or remedies under this Agreement must be in writing referencing this Agreement to be effective. Failure, neglect, or delay by a party to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or its rights or remedies at any time shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such party’s rights under this Agreement and shall not prejudice such party’s right to take subsequent action. A party’s waiver of the performance of any covenant or any breach is not to be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach or of any other covenant.
11.10. Severability. If any term, condition, or provision in this Agreement is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable to any extent, the invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable term, condition or provision shall be severed from the remaining terms, conditions, and provisions, which shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

CUSTOMER TERMS OF USE
Archived: April 1, 2023
Welcome to the Katalon Offerings! Katalon, Inc. and/or its Affiliates (“Katalon”, “we”, “us” or “our”) provide the Offerings subject to the following conditions.
Please review these Customer Terms of Use (these “Terms”) carefully. These Terms are between you and the Katalon entity that owns or operates the Offering that you are using or accessing. “You” or “your” means, unless otherwise indicated, your employer or another entity you represent, as applicable. You hereby represent that (a) you have full legal authority to bind your employer or such entity (as applicable) to these Terms; and (b) after reading and understanding these Terms, you agree to these Terms on behalf of your employer or the respective entity (as applicable), and these Terms shall bind your employer or such entity (as the case may be). PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU ARE DEEMED AS AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF YOUR EMPLOYER OR AN ENTITY (AS APPLICABLE): (I) IF YOU ARE USING YOUR EMPLOYER OR AN ENTITY’S EMAIL ADDRESS IN REGISTERING AN ACCOUNT TO USE THE OFFERINGS; OR (II) IF YOU ARE AN ADMIN (AS DEFINED BELOW).
A glossary of defined terms is included at the end of these Terms.
ACCOUNT, ADMINISTRATION AND USERS
Account. You must register for an account with us in order to place Orders or access and use the Offerings. When creating a User Account or when you are added to a User Account, you: (a) agree to provide us with accurate, complete, and current registration information for all Users; (b) acknowledge that it is your and each User’s responsibility to ensure that such User’s password remains confidential and secure; (c) agree that you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under User Accounts; and (d) undertake to promptly notify us in writing if you become aware of any unauthorized access or use of User Accounts and/or any breach of these Terms. We may assume that any communications we receive under User Accounts have been made by you. You will be solely responsible for unauthorized usage of the User Account by either you or any other User or third party on your behalf.
Administration. The Offerings allow you to specify Users, including Admins. An Admin may have the ability to make Orders or enable features, products or services (which may incur fees); create, de-provision, monitor or modify User Accounts, and set User usage permissions or subscription renewal options; integrate or disable integration with Plugins and third-party products or services; and manage Your Data. You are responsible for whom you allow to become Admins and any actions they take, including as described above. You agree that our responsibilities do not extend to the internal management or administration of the Offerings to you.
Users. Only Users may access and use the Offerings. Some Offerings may allow you to designate different types of Users, in which case pricing and functionality may vary according to the type of User. You are responsible for the actions taken by your Users, and the compliance with these Terms by all Users, including what Users do with Your Data, and for all fees incurred by Users (or from adding Users). Any Offerings identified in an Order as being provided on per “user” basis have a specific natural person associated with each subscription, who must be identified in the User Account, and may not be changed in a manner to circumvent the number of Users permitted. A User associated with a “user” based subscription may access and use the applicable Offerings on any Internet browser and/or computer within your internal enterprise network, provided that only one User is assigned to a User Account and multiple individuals may not share the same User Account.
ACCESS TO, AND USE OF, OFFERINGS
Access to Offerings. Subject to these Terms and during the applicable Subscription Term, you are granted a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable and non-transferable right for Users to access and use the Offerings for (a) your internal business purposes for your and your Affiliates’ benefits, and (b) the internal business purposes of Your Customers as part of the services that you provide to them, as applicable.
Use by Your Affiliates, Contractors, and Your Customers. You are only permitted to add your Affiliates, contractors, and Your Customers as Users (“Additional Users”) to access and use the Offerings, provided that:

  • Your Customers are permitted to use the Offerings as part of the services that you provide to them solely with respect to your products and services.

You agree (a) that any and all discounts, incentives and promotional pricings offered to you are conditioned upon your timely payments of all fees due hereunder; and (b) to pay a late charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (or part of a month), or the maximum lawful rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less, for all amounts, not subject to a good faith dispute (below), and not paid when due.

Subject to these Terms, you hereby grant to us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right to use, copy, store, transmit, modify, create derivative works of, and display (a) Your Data solely to the extent necessary to provide the Offerings to you, or to prevent or address service or technical problems under these Terms, or as may be required by law; and (b) Your Data for any of our internal business purposes, provided that such data is transformed and maintained in anonymized and aggregated form such that it does not contain any personal data subject to Privacy Law.
Use of Your Data. You will ensure that your use of the Offerings and all Your Data is at all times compliant with these Terms, your privacy policies, and all applicable laws and regulations and conventions, including Privacy Law. You are solely responsible for the quality, integrity, accuracy, content and legality of all Your Data. You represent and warrant that you have sufficient rights in Your Data, provided any required notices and received any required consents as necessary to grant the rights granted to us hereunder and that Your Data does not infringe or violate the intellectual property, publicity, privacy or other rights of any third party. You agree not to upload to the Offerings (a) any patient, medical or other protected information regulated by HIPAA or any similar federal or state laws, rules or regulations or (b) any financial or accounting data or payment information, other than your credit card information for account payment processing of the fees, which is processed and stored by our third-payment payment service provider and not processed or stored by us.

We will notify you immediately following discovery of any suspected breach or compromise of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of Your Data.

Removals and Suspension. We have no obligation to monitor any content uploaded to the Offerings. Nonetheless, if we deem such action necessary based on your violation of these Terms or in response to takedown requests for violations of third-party intellectual property rights, we may remove Your Data from the Offerings and/or suspend your access to the Offerings. We will use reasonable efforts to provide you with advance notice of removals and suspensions when practicable, but if we determine that your actions endanger the operation of the Offerings or other users, we may suspend your access or remove you’re Your Data immediately without notice. We have no liability to you for removing or deleting you’re Your Data from or suspending your access to any Offerings.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Non-Use and Nondisclosure. Each party shall treat as confidential all Confidential Information of the other party, shall not use such Confidential Information except to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under these Terms, and shall not disclose such Confidential Information to any employee or third party, except to those Users, employees, advisors or representatives of the recipient who are under a contractual or fiduciary duty of confidentiality similar in content to the provisions hereof and whom the recipient will remain responsible for hereunder (“Representatives”) and who are required to have access to such Confidential Information in order to perform the obligations under these Terms. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the parties shall use at least the same degree of care it uses to prevent the disclosure of its own confidential information of like importance, which care shall be no less than reasonable care, to prevent the disclosure of Confidential Information of the other party.
Exceptions. The receiving party may disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing party if so required pursuant to a regulation, law, subpoena, or court order (collectively, “Compelled Disclosures”), provided the receiving party gives the disclosing party notice of a Compelled Disclosure (to the extent legally permitted). The receiving party will provide reasonable cooperation to the disclosing party in connection with a Compelled Disclosure at the disclosing party’s sole expense.
Feedback. You may provide suggestions, feedback and other information to us regarding possible improvements in the operation, functionality or use of the Offerings (“Feedback”).

CHANGES TO TERMS
Changes to these Terms. We may modify the terms and conditions of these Terms from time to time, with notice to you in accordance with the provision on Notices below or by posting the modified Terms on our website; provided however, any modifications to these Terms will take effect at the next renewal of your Subscription Term and will automatically apply as of the renewal date unless you elect not to renew. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in some cases (e.g., to address compliance with Laws, or as necessary for new features) we may specify that such modifications become effective during your then-current Subscription Term. If the effective date of such modifications is during your then-current Subscription Term and you object to the modifications, then (as your exclusive remedy) you may terminate your affected Orders upon notice to us, and we will refund to you any fees you have pre-paid for use of the affected Offering for the terminated portion of the applicable Subscription Term. To exercise this right, you must provide us with notice of your objection and termination within thirty (30) days of us providing notice of the modifications. For the avoidance of doubt, any Order is subject to the version of these Terms in effect at the time of the Order.
TERM AND TERMINATION
Term. These Terms will commence upon your acceptance of an Order, your creation or access to a User Account, or your download, installation, activation or use of the Offerings and will remain in effect until otherwise terminated as set forth below.
Termination. A party may terminate any Order if the other party commits any material breach of such Order (or the provisions of these Terms applicable to the particular Order) and does not remedy the material breach within thirty (30) days after the date that it receives notice of the breach. These Terms may be terminated by either party immediately upon written notice, in the event that: (a) the other party files a petition, in bankruptcy, seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, or similar relief under any Law regarding insolvency or relief for debtors, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (b) a receiver, trustee, or similar officer is appointed for the business or property of such party; or (c) the other party adopts a resolution for discontinuance of its business or for dissolution. We may terminate these Terms or any Orders in the event you fail to make any payments of fees when such payments are due. Termination of an Order shall not be deemed a termination of these Terms. Termination of these Terms shall, however, terminate all outstanding Orders. Either party may also terminate these Terms upon no less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other party for any reason, if at such time there are no outstanding Orders then currently in effect.
Suspension of the Offerings. We may suspend use of the Offerings immediately upon notice to you for cause if we, in good faith, determines: (a) that you or your Users materially breach (or we, in good faith, believes that you or your Users have materially breached) any provision of these Terms, and such breach violates a third party right or materially impacts the performance of the Offerings or other users’ enjoyment of the Offerings; (b) there is an unusual and material spike or increase in your use of the Offerings and that such traffic or use is fraudulent or materially and negatively impacting the operating capability of any products or services on the Offerings; (c) that our provision of the products or services on the Offerings is prohibited by applicable Law; (d) there is any use of the Offerings by you or your Users that threatens the security, integrity, or availability of the Offerings; or (e) that information in your User Account or User Accounts of your Users are untrue, inaccurate, incomplete or otherwise fraudulent.
Subscription Auto-Renewal. To ensure that you will not experience any interruption or loss of services, your Offerings include an automatic renewal option by default, according to which, unless you disable the auto-renewal option or cancel your subscription prior to its expiration, the subscription will automatically renew upon the end of the then applicable Subscription Term for a period of the like term. You will provide any notice of non-renewal through the means we designate, which may include account settings on the Offerings or contacting our support team. Canceling your subscription means that you will not be charged for the next billing cycle, but you will not receive any refunds or credits for amounts that have already been charged. Unless specified in an applicable Order, all renewals (a) are subject to the applicable products or services continuing to be offered on the Offerings, (b) will be charged at the then-current prices for the applicable Offerings, (c) will exclude any discount or other promotions offered during the prior Subscription Term, and (d) are subject to any changes in usage policies, usage limits or other Scope of Use. You agree that we may bill your credit card or other payment methods for renewals, additional users, overages to set limits or Scopes of Use, expenses, and unpaid fees, as applicable. Either party may elect to not renew an Order by giving the other party at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to terminate such Order before the beginning of the next Subscription Term for such Order, and such termination shall be effective at the end of the then-current Subscription Term.
Effect of Termination. Upon any termination or expiration of these Terms or any applicable Order, we shall no longer provide the applicable Offerings to you, and you shall promptly cease and cause your Users to promptly cease using the applicable Offerings. Upon termination of these Terms, each party shall promptly return or destroy all Confidential Information of the other party in its possession, except that each party may keep a copy of the other party’s Confidential Information for archival purposes, or otherwise in accordance with their respective internal recordkeeping procedures, or in compliance with applicable Laws, and will not be required to delete or destroy any copies maintained in its normal-course back-up media. After termination of any Order, we will have no obligation to store and/or make available Your Data for the applicable Offerings, and we may delete the same. All rights and obligations of the parties which by their nature are reasonably intended to survive such termination or expiration will survive termination or expiration of these Terms and each Order.
DISCLAIMERS, INDEMNIFICATION, AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Offering Warranty. We warrant that during the Subscription Term, the Offerings will conform, in all material respects, with the Documentation. Such warranty shall only apply if the Offerings have been utilized by you in accordance with the Order, the Documentation, and these Terms.

You agree that any use or purchase of our products or services shall not be contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features, or dependent on any oral or written comments we make regarding future functionality or features.
Our Indemnification. We will defend you, your Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Customer Indemnitees”), against any claim, demand, suit or legal proceeding made or brought against any of the Customer Indemnitees by a third party alleging that the Offerings infringe or misappropriate such third party’s U.S. intellectual property rights (a “Claim Against Customer”), and will indemnify the Customer Indemnitees from any damages (including reasonable attorney fees and costs) finally awarded against any of the Customer Indemnitees as a result of, or for amounts paid under a court-approved settlement of, a Claim Against Customer. If a Claim Against Customer is brought or is likely, in our sole opinion, to be brought, we will, at our option and expense (a) obtain the right for you to continue using the Offering; (b) replace or modify the affected Offering so that it becomes non-infringing; or (c) upon notice to you, terminate these Terms or your use of the affected Offerings, provided that in the case of subsection (c) we will promptly refund to you the prorated portion of any unearned pre-paid subscription fees paid hereunder for the affected Offerings. Our obligations in this section do not apply to: (i) any products, services, technology, materials or data created or provided by a party other than us (including without limitation Your Data), (ii) any part of the Offerings made in whole or in part in accordance to your specifications, (iii) any modifications not made by us, (iv) any combination with other products, processes or materials not provided by us (where the alleged damages, costs or expenses arise from or relate to such combination), (v) where you continue the allegedly infringing activity after being notified thereof or after being informed of modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement, or (vi) your use of the Offerings not strictly in accordance with these Terms, the Scope of Use or any Documentation, ((i) through (vi), the “Excluded Claims”).
Your Indemnification. You will defend us, our Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Katalon Indemnitees”) against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against any or all of the Katalon Indemnitees by a third party arising out of or attributable to the Excluded Claims, and will indemnify the Katalon Indemnitees from any damages, reasonable attorney fees and costs finally awarded against the Katalon Indemnitees as a result of, or for any amounts paid under a court-approved settlement of an Excluded Claim.
Indemnification Procedure. Each party’s obligation to indemnify the other party is conditioned on the party seeking indemnification: (a) promptly notifying the indemnifying party in writing of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed, provided that failure to so notify will not remove the indemnifying Party’s obligation except to the extent it is prejudiced thereby, (b) allowing the indemnifying party to solely control the defense of any claim, suit or proceeding and all negotiations for settlement; provided that the indemnifying party shall not settle any claim that requires the indemnified party to admit fault without the indemnified party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (c) giving the indemnifying party reasonable assistance in the defense and settlement of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed.
Sole Remedy. The foregoing indemnity obligations state the indemnifying party’s sole liability to, and the indemnified party’s exclusive remedy against, the other party for any type of claim described in this section.
Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY UNDER THESE TERMS OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF CLAIM OR ACTION: (I) IN AN AMOUNT THAT EXCEEDS THE FEES YOU HAVE PAID FOR THE OFFERINGS UNDER THE APPLICABLE ORDER IN THE PRECEDING 12 MONTHS; OR (II) FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR COSTS (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF GOODWILL OR PROFIT, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS) IN CONNECTION WITH THE OFFERINGS OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR COSTS. The limitations of liability set forth in this paragraph will not apply to: (a) each party’s violation of the other party’s intellectual property rights; (b) your payment obligations; and (c) a party’s liability related to (i) its indemnification obligations, (ii) its breach of its confidentiality obligations, (iii) its breach of any restrictions on the access or use of the Offerings, and/or (iv) gross negligence or intentional misconduct, or (c) any obligation where the applicable Law does not allow the limitation(s) thereof. The parties hereby acknowledge that the provisions of this paragraph allocate the risks under these Terms and the applicable Order which are acknowledged and agreed by and between you and us, and our pricing reflects this allocation of risk and the limitation of liability specified herein.
MISCELLANEOUS
Assignment. Neither these Terms nor any rights or obligations under these Terms may be assigned or otherwise transferred by either party without the prior written consent of the other party; provided that, such prior written consent is not required for any assignment by either party to its Affiliates or to any successor of substantially all of its business or assets to which these Terms relates, whether by merger, sale of assets, sale of stock, reorganization or otherwise. These Terms shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
Governing Law. These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of any jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms. To the extent that any lawsuit is permitted under these Terms, the parties hereby expressly consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia, USA (to the extent not addressed by arbitration below, if any).
Dispute Resolution. In the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy in connection with these Terms (collectively, “Disputes”), each party’s senior representatives will, in good faith, attempt to resolve the Dispute. If the parties are unable to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days or within such other time period as the parties may agree in writing, then the parties may commence binding arbitration under JAMS’ Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The parties will share equally the fees and expenses of the JAMS arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted by a sole arbitrator mutually agreed to between the parties within twenty (20) days of receipt by respondent of the request for arbitration or, failing that, by JAMS under its then prevailing rules. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant specific performance or any other equitable or legal remedy, including provisional remedies, provided that the arbitrator will have no authority to award punitive damages or consequential damages or liquidated damages. Each party will be responsible for its own incurred expenses arising out of any dispute resolution procedure. Any arbitration proceedings will be conducted in the English language and will take place in Fulton County, Georgia, USA.
Injunctive Relief. Nothing contained in these Terms shall deny either party the right to seek immediate injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction: (a) in the context of a bona fide emergency or prospective irreparable harm to preserve the status quo pending resolution of a dispute between the parties or (b) where a party alleges or claims a violation of any agreement regarding intellectual property, confidential information or noninterference. Such an action may be filed and maintained notwithstanding any ongoing discussions between the parties or any ongoing arbitration proceeding.

U.S. Government End-Use Provisions. The following applies to all acquisitions of the Offerings and Documentation by or for the U.S. government or by any prime contractor or subcontractor under any contract, grant or other activity with the U.S. government. The Offerings and Documentation and services utilizing the Offerings and Documentation provided under these Terms are “commercial items” 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 and other applicable acquisition regulations and are provided to the U.S. Government only as a commercial item. Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202, all U.S. Government users and licensees acquire the Offerings and its associated services and Documentation with only those rights and are subject to the restrictions set forth in these Terms.

Force Majeure. Nonperformance of either party, except for the making of payments, shall be excused to the extent that performance is rendered impossible by strike, fire, flood, earthquake, governmental acts or orders or restrictions, cyber-attacks, information security and data breaches caused by third parties, failure of cloud services, failure of suppliers, or any other reason where failure to perform is beyond the reasonable control of such party (collectively, “Force Majeure Events”). The party affected by a Force Majeure Event will take all reasonable actions to minimize the consequences of any such event.
Entire Agreement; Amendment. These Terms together with the Orders, and any attachments, schedules, exhibits and addenda (including without limitations, the Additional Customer Terms) referenced herein (the “Attachments”) constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof. All prior or contemporaneous agreements, proposals, understandings, and communications between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof, whether oral or written, are superseded by and merged into these Terms. No modification or amendment to these Terms, nor any Attachment or Order, will be binding unless by an agreement in writing signed by both parties that specifically references and clearly states the intention to amend these Terms, such Attachment or such Order, as applicable. Any terms and conditions set forth in an Order shall solely be applicable to such Order and shall not affect any other Orders between the parties. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and those of any Order or Attachment, these Terms will control (unless such Order or Attachment is intended to control), and the terms of an Order, an Attachment, and these Terms will prevail over any conflicting provision in any purchase order or any other instrument regardless of execution by the parties. You may not use a purchase order or other instrument not issued by us to modify or add to these Terms, and all such attempted modifications or additions to these Terms in any such purchase order or instrument shall be void and of no effect, even if accepted or signed by both parties. Any purchase orders that are accepted by us are accepted expressly subject to these Terms without regard to any additional or conflicting terms therein. If you have a separate written agreement with us for your use of the Offerings, these Terms will not apply to you, unless that written agreement does not cover a particular product or service, in which case, these Terms apply solely to your use of that particular product or service.
Other Miscellaneous Terms. The relationship between the parties to these Terms is and shall be that of independent contractors. It is expressly agreed that nothing in these terms shall be construed to create or imply a partnership, joint venture, agency relationship or contract of employment. There are no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms. Any waiver of the provisions of these Terms or of a party’s rights or remedies under these Terms must be in writing referencing these Terms to be effective. Failure, neglect, or delay by a party to enforce the provisions of these Terms or its rights or remedies at any time shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such party’s rights under these Terms and shall not prejudice such party’s right to take subsequent action. A party’s waiver of the performance of any covenant or any breach is not to be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach or of any other covenant. If any term, condition, or provision in these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable term, condition or provision shall be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions, which shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

CHANGES TO TERMS
Changes to these Terms. We may modify the terms and conditions of these Terms from time to time, with notice to you in accordance with the provision on Notices below or by posting the modified Terms on our website; provided however, any modifications to these Terms will take effect at the next renewal of your Subscription Term and will automatically apply as of the renewal date unless you elect not to renew. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in some cases (e.g., to address compliance with Laws, or as necessary for new features) we may specify that such modifications become effective during your then-current Subscription Term. If the effective date of such modifications is during your then-current Subscription Term and you object to the modifications, then (as your exclusive remedy) you may terminate your affected Orders upon notice to us, and we will refund to you any fees you have pre-paid for use of the affected Offering for the terminated portion of the applicable Subscription Term. To exercise this right, you must provide us with notice of your objection and termination within thirty (30) days of us providing notice of the modifications. For the avoidance of doubt, any Order is subject to the version of these Terms in effect at the time of the Order.
TERM AND TERMINATION
Term. These Terms will commence upon your acceptance of an Order, your creation or access to a User Account, or your download, installation, activation or use of the Offerings and will remain in effect until otherwise terminated as set forth below.
Termination. A party may terminate any Order if the other party commits any material breach of such Order (or the provisions of these Terms applicable to the particular Order) and does not remedy the material breach within thirty (30) days after the date that it receives notice of the breach. These Terms may be terminated by either party immediately upon written notice, in the event that: (a) the other party files a petition, in bankruptcy, seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, or similar relief under any law regarding insolvency or relief for debtors, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (b) a receiver, trustee, or similar officer is appointed for the business or property of such party; or (c) the other party adopts a resolution for discontinuance of its business or for dissolution. We may terminate these Terms or any Orders in the event you fail to make any payments of fees when such payments are due. Termination of an Order shall not be deemed a termination of these Terms. Termination of these Terms shall, however, terminate all outstanding Orders. Either party may also terminate these Terms upon no less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other party for any reason, if at such time there are no outstanding Orders then currently in effect.
Suspension of the Offerings. We may suspend use of the Offerings immediately upon notice to you for cause if we, in good faith, determines: (a) that you or your Users materially breach (or we, in good faith, believes that you or your Users have materially breached) any provision of these Terms, and such breach violates a third party right or materially impacts the performance of the Offerings or other users’ enjoyment of the Offerings; (b) there is an unusual and material spike or increase in your use of the Offerings and that such traffic or use is fraudulent or materially and negatively impacting the operating capability of any products or services on the Offerings; (c) that our provision of the products or services on the Offerings is prohibited by applicable law or regulation; (d) there is any use of the Offerings by you or your Users that threatens the security, integrity, or availability of the Offerings; or (e) that information in your User Account or User Accounts of your Users are untrue, inaccurate, incomplete or otherwise fraudulent. You remain responsible for all fees.
Subscription Auto-Renewal. To ensure that you will not experience any interruption or loss of services, your Offerings include an automatic renewal option by default, according to which, unless you disable the auto-renewal option or cancel your subscription prior to its expiration, the subscription will automatically renew upon the end of the then applicable Subscription Term for a period of like term. You will provide any notice of non-renewal through the means we designate, which may include account settings on the Offerings or contacting our support team. Cancelling your subscription means that you will not be charged for the next billing cycle, but you will not receive any refunds or credits for amounts that have already been charged. Unless specified in an applicable Order, all renewals (a) are subject to the applicable products or services continuing to be offered on the Offerings, (b) will be charged at the then-current prices for the applicable Offerings, (c) will exclude any discount or other promotions offered during the prior Subscription Term, and (d) are subject to any changes in usage policies, usage limits or other Scope of Use. You agree that we may bill your credit card or other payment method for renewals, additional users, overages to set limits or Scopes of Use, expenses, and unpaid fees, as applicable. Either party may elect to not renew an Order by giving the other party at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to terminate such Order before the beginning of the next Subscription Term for such Order, and such termination shall be effective at the end of the then current Subscription Term.
Effect of Termination. Upon any termination or expiration of these Terms or any applicable Order, we shall no longer provide the applicable Offerings to you, and you shall promptly cease and cause your Users to promptly cease using the applicable Offerings. Upon termination of these Terms, each party shall promptly return or destroy all Confidential Information of the other party in its possession, except that each party may keep a copy of the other party’s Confidential Information for archival purposes, or otherwise in accordance with their respective internal recordkeeping procedures, or in compliance with applicable Laws, and will not be required to delete or destroy any copies maintained in its normal-course back-up media. After termination of any Order, we will have no obligation to store and/or make available Your Data for the applicable Offerings, and we may delete the same. All rights and obligations of the parties which by their nature are reasonably intended to survive such termination or expiration will survive termination or expiration of these Terms and each Order.

Indemnification Procedure. Each party’s obligation to indemnify the other party is conditioned on the party seeking indemnification: (a) promptly notifying the indemnifying party in writing of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed, provided that failure to so notify will not remove the indemnifying Party’s obligation except to the extent it is prejudiced thereby, (b) allowing the indemnifying party to solely control the defense of any claim, suit or proceeding and all negotiations for settlement; provided that the indemnifying party shall not settle any claim that requires the indemnified party to admit fault without the indemnified party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (c) giving the indemnifying party reasonable assistance in the defense and settlement of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed.
Sole Remedy. The foregoing indemnity obligations state the indemnifying party’s sole liability to, and the indemnified party’s exclusive remedy against, the other party for any type of claim described in this section.

MISCELLANEOUS
Assignment. Neither these Terms nor any rights or obligations under these Terms may be assigned or otherwise transferred by either party without the prior written consent of the other party; provided that, such prior written consent is not required for any assignment by either party to its Affiliates or to any successor of substantially all of its business or assets to which these Terms relates, whether by merger, sale of assets, sale of stock, reorganization or otherwise.

The parties will share equally the fees and expenses of the JAMS arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted by a sole arbitrator mutually agreed to between the parties or, failing that, by JAMS under its then prevailing rules. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Each party will be responsible for its own incurred expenses arising out of any dispute resolution procedure. Any arbitration proceedings will take place in Fulton County, Georgia, USA.
Injunctive Relief. Nothing contained in these Terms shall deny either party the right to seek immediate injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction: (a) in the context of a bona fide emergency or prospective irreparable harm to preserve the status quo pending resolution of a dispute between the parties or (b) where a party alleges or claims a violation of any agreement regarding intellectual property, confidential information or noninterference. Such an action may be filed and maintained notwithstanding any ongoing discussions between the parties or any ongoing arbitration proceeding.

Any terms and conditions set forth in an Order shall solely be applicable to such Order and shall not affect any other Orders between the parties. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and those of any Order or Attachment, these Terms will control (unless such Order or Attachment is intended to control), and the terms of an Order, an Attachment, and these Terms will prevail over any conflicting provision in any purchase order or any other instrument regardless of execution by the parties. You may not use a purchase order or other instrument not issued by us to modify or add to these Terms, and all such attempted modifications or additions to these Terms in any such purchase order or instrument shall be void and of no effect, even if accepted or signed by both parties. Any purchase orders that are accepted by us are accepted expressly subject to these Terms without regards to any additional or conflicting terms therein.
Other Miscellaneous Terms. The relationship between the parties to these Terms is and shall be that of independent contractors. It is expressly agreed that nothing in these terms shall be construed to create or imply a partnership, joint venture, agency relationship or contract of employment.

Any waiver of the provisions of these Terms or of a party’s rights or remedies under these Terms must be in writing referencing these Terms to be effective. Failure, neglect, or delay by a party to enforce the provisions of these Terms or its rights or remedies at any time shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such party’s rights under these Terms and shall not prejudice such party’s right to take subsequent action. A party’s waiver of the performance of any covenant or any breach is not to be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach or of any other covenant. If any term, condition, or provision in these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable term, condition or provision shall be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions, which shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

  • Software identified in an Order as being provided on a “Floating License” basis may be installed and used on any computer within your internal enterprise network. Each Floating License subscription is assigned to one parallel usage session and shared across multiple User Accounts up to a maximum of three User Accounts at a time. Under a Floating License, you may use the applicable Software for the number of concurrent Users equal to the number of Floating License subscriptions purchased.
  • Software identified in an Order as being provided on a “Node-Locked License” basis means the applicable Software is tied to one specific Machine. This license applies for physical or virtual Machines with fixed hardware specifications in each execution session. As used herein, a “Machine” means a single computer operated by you on which you may run the Software.

If you operate an instance of the Software offline (with no online access for activation, support or updates) on a Machine within your enterprise environment (“Offline Mode”), then the following terms apply:
    For Node-Locked Licenses. If you purchase a subscription to the Software under Node-Locked Licenses with Offline Mode, then any User may convert the User’s subscription access to Offline Mode. The User will submit into the subscription manager portion of the User Account the Machine ID of the Machine on which you will install the Software and obtain a license key from us in order to activate your copy of the Software on that Machine. Each instance of the Software in Offline Mode will count as a User’s subscription as part of the subscriptions for which you have paid. The Offline Mode for the applicable Software instance will expire 60 days from the date the User’s subscription is first put into Offline Mode (or the end of the Subscription Term, if that happens earlier).
    For Floating Licenses. If you purchase and deploy Floating Licenses for the applicable Software with Offline Mode, you must download and install the Katalon License Server to manage and track subscriptions. You will indicate to us the number of parallel usage sessions that will be conducted in Offline Mode. In such case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, we grant you a non-exclusive, nontransferable, non-sublicensable license to use the Katalon License Server solely as necessary to manage and track the subscriptions of the Software, as applicable. You will permit us to remotely access the Katalon License Server twice per year or provide us with a server-generated report from the Katalon License Server in the format specified by us, in each case so that we can verify usage is within the purchased subscription.

If you have a separate written agreement with us for your use of the Offerings, these Terms will not apply to you, unless that written agreement does not cover a particular product or service, in which case, these Terms apply solely to your use of that particular product or service.
A glossary of defined terms is included at the end of these Terms.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in some cases (e.g., to address compliance with Laws, or as necessary for new features) we may specify that such modifications become effective during your then-current Subscription Term. If the effective date of such modifications is during your then-current Subscription Term and you object to the modifications, then (as your exclusive remedy) you may terminate your affected Orders upon notice to us, and we will refund to you any fees you have pre-paid for use of the affected Offering for the terminated portion of the applicable Subscription Term. To exercise this right, you must provide us with notice of your objection and termination within thirty (30) days of us providing notice of the modifications. For the avoidance of doubt, any Order is subject to the version of these Terms in effect at the time of the Order.
TERM AND TERMINATION
Term. These Terms will commence upon your acceptance of an Order, your creation or access to a User Account, or your download, installation, activation or use of the Offerings and will remain in effect until otherwise terminated as set forth below.
Termination. A party may terminate any Order if the other party commits any material breach of such Order (or the provisions of these Terms applicable to the particular Order) and does not remedy the material breach within thirty (30) days after the date that it receives notice of the breach. These Terms may be terminated by either party immediately upon written notice, in the event that: (a) the other party files a petition, in bankruptcy, seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, or similar relief under any law regarding insolvency or relief for debtors, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (b) a receiver, trustee, or similar officer is appointed for the business or property of such party; or (c) the other party adopts a resolution for discontinuance of its business or for dissolution. We may terminate these Terms or any Orders in the event you fail to make any payments of fees when such payments are due. Termination of an Order shall not be deemed a termination of these Terms. Termination of these Terms shall, however, terminate all outstanding Orders. Either party may also terminate these Terms upon no less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other party for any reason, if at such time there are no outstanding Orders then currently in effect.
Suspension of the Offerings. We may suspend use of the Offerings immediately upon notice to you for cause if we, in good faith, determines: (a) that you or your Users materially breach (or we, in good faith, believes that you or your Users have materially breached) any provision of these Terms, and such breach violates a third party right or materially impacts the performance of the Offerings or other users’ enjoyment of the Offerings; (b) there is an unusual and material spike or increase in your use of the Offerings and that such traffic or use is fraudulent or materially and negatively impacting the operating capability of any products or services on the Offerings; (c) that our provision of the products or services on the Offerings is prohibited by applicable law or regulation; (d) there is any use of the Offerings by you or your Users that threatens the security, integrity, or availability of the Offerings; or (e) that information in your User Account or User Accounts of your Users are untrue, inaccurate, incomplete or otherwise fraudulent. You remain responsible for all fees.
Subscription Auto-Renewal. To ensure that you will not experience any interruption or loss of services, your Offerings include an automatic renewal option by default, according to which, unless you disable the auto-renewal option or cancel your subscription prior to its expiration, the subscription will automatically renew upon the end of the then applicable Subscription Term for a period of like term. You will provide any notice of non-renewal through the means we designate, which may include account settings on the Offerings or contacting our support team. Cancelling your subscription means that you will not be charged for the next billing cycle, but you will not receive any refunds or credits for amounts that have already been charged. Unless specified in an applicable Order, all renewals (a) are subject to the applicable products or services continuing to be offered on the Offerings, (b) will be charged at the then-current prices for the applicable Offerings, (c) will exclude any discount or other promotions offered during the prior Subscription Term, and (d) are subject to any changes in usage policies, usage limits or other Scope of Use. You agree that we may bill your credit card or other payment method for renewals, additional users, overages to set limits or Scopes of Use, expenses, and unpaid fees, as applicable. Either party may elect to not renew an Order by giving the other party at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to terminate such Order before the beginning of the next Subscription Term for such Order, and such termination shall be effective at the end of the then current Subscription Term.
Effect of Termination. Upon any termination or expiration of these Terms or any applicable Order, we shall no longer provide the applicable Offerings to you, and you shall promptly cease and cause your Users to promptly cease using the applicable Offerings. Upon termination of these Terms, each party shall promptly return or destroy all Confidential Information of the other party in its possession, except that each party may keep a copy of the other party’s Confidential Information for archival purposes, or otherwise in accordance with their respective internal recordkeeping procedures, or in compliance with applicable Laws, and will not be required to delete or destroy any copies maintained in its normal-course back-up media. After termination of any Order, we will have no obligation to store and/or make available Your Data for the applicable Offerings, and we may delete the same. All rights and obligations of the parties which by their nature are reasonably intended to survive such termination or expiration will survive termination or expiration of these Terms and each Order.

Each party’s obligation to indemnify the other party is conditioned on the party seeking indemnification: (a) promptly notifying the indemnifying party in writing of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed, provided that failure to so notify will not remove the indemnifying Party’s obligation except to the extent it is prejudiced thereby, (b) allowing the indemnifying party to solely control the defense of any claim, suit or proceeding and all negotiations for settlement; provided that the indemnifying party shall not settle any claim that requires the indemnified party to admit fault without the indemnified party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (c) giving the indemnifying party reasonable assistance in the defense and settlement of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed.
Sole Remedy. The foregoing indemnity obligations state the indemnifying party’s sole liability to, and the indemnified party’s exclusive remedy against, the other party for any type of claim described in this section.
Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT FOR EACH PARTY’S VIOLATION OF THE OTHER PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND EACH PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS ABOVE, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY UNDER THESE TERMS OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF CLAIM OR ACTION, IN AN AMOUNT THAT EXCEEDS THE FEES YOU HAVE PAID FOR THE OFFERINGS UNDER THE APPLICABLE ORDER IN THE PRECEDING 12 MONTHS. EXCEPT FOR EACH PARTY’S VIOLATION OF THE OTHER PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, IN NO EVENT WILL A PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR COSTS (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF GOODWILL OR PROFIT, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS) IN CONNECTION WITH THE OFFERINGS OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR COSTS.
MISCELLANEOUS
Assignment. Neither these Terms nor any rights or obligations under these Terms may be assigned or otherwise transferred by either party without the prior written consent of the other party; provided that, such prior written consent is not required for any assignment by either party to its Affiliates or to any successor of substantially all of its business or assets to which these Terms relates, whether by merger, sale of assets, sale of stock, reorganization or otherwise. These Terms shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
Governing Law. These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of any jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.

Dispute Resolution. In the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy in connection with these Terms (collectively, “Disputes”), each party’s senior representatives will, in good faith, attempt to resolve the Dispute. If the parties are unable to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days or within such other time period as the parties may agree in writing, then the parties may commence binding arbitration under JAMS’ Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The parties will share equally the fees and expenses of the JAMS arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted by a sole arbitrator mutually agreed to between the parties or, failing that, by JAMS under its then prevailing rules. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant specific performance or any other equitable or legal remedy, including provisional remedies. Each party will be responsible for its own incurred expenses arising out of any dispute resolution procedure. Any arbitration proceedings will take place in Fulton County, Georgia, USA.
Injunctive Relief. Nothing contained in these Terms shall deny either party the right to seek immediate injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction: (a) in the context of a bona fide emergency or prospective irreparable harm to preserve the status quo pending resolution of a dispute between the parties or (b) where a party alleges or claims a violation of any agreement regarding intellectual property, confidential information or noninterference.

In the event of any conflict between these Terms and those of any Order or Attachment, these Terms will control (unless such Order or Attachment is intended to control), and the terms of an Order, an Attachment, and these Terms will prevail over any conflicting provision in any purchase order or any other instrument regardless of execution by the parties.

If any term, condition, or provision in these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable term, condition or provision shall be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions, which shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Without limiting the foregoing, each of the parties shall use at least the same degree of care it uses to prevent the disclosure of its own confidential information of like importance, which care shall be no less than reasonable care, to prevent the disclosure of Confidential Information of the other party.
Exceptions. The receiving party may disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing party if so required pursuant to a regulation, law, subpoena, or court order (collectively, “Compelled Disclosures”), provided the receiving party gives the disclosing party notice of a Compelled Disclosure (to the extent legally permitted).

CHANGES TO TERMS
Changes to these Terms. We may modify the terms and conditions of these Terms from time to time, with notice to you in accordance with the provision on Notices below or by posting the modified Terms on our website; provided however, any modifications to these Terms will take effect at the next renewal of your Subscription Term and will automatically apply as of the renewal date unless you elect not to renew. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in some cases (e.g., to address compliance with Laws, or as necessary for new features) we may specify that such modifications become effective during your then-current Subscription Term. If the effective date of such modifications is during your then-current Subscription Term and you object to the modifications, then (as your exclusive remedy) you may terminate your affected Orders upon notice to us, and we will refund to you any fees you have pre-paid for use of the affected Offering for the terminated portion of the applicable Subscription Term. To exercise this right, you must provide us with notice of your objection and termination within thirty (30) days of us providing notice of the modifications. For the avoidance of doubt, any Order is subject to the version of these Terms in effect at the time of the Order.
TERM AND TERMINATION
Term. These Terms will commence upon your acceptance of an Order, your creation or access to a User Account, or your download, installation, activation or use of the Offerings and will remain in effect until otherwise terminated as set forth below.
Termination. A party may terminate any Order if the other party commits any material breach of such Order (or the provisions of these Terms applicable to the particular Order) and does not remedy the material breach within thirty (30) days after the date that it receives notice of the breach. These Terms may be terminated by either party immediately upon written notice, in the event that: (a) the other party files a petition, in bankruptcy, seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, or similar relief under any law regarding insolvency or relief for debtors, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (b) a receiver, trustee, or similar officer is appointed for the business or property of such party; or (c) the other party adopts a resolution for discontinuance of its business or for dissolution. We may terminate these Terms or any Orders in the event you fail to make any payments of fees when such payments are due. Termination of an Order shall not be deemed a termination of these Terms. Termination of these Terms shall, however, terminate all outstanding Orders. Either party may also terminate these Terms upon no less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other party for any reason, if at such time there are no outstanding Orders then currently in effect.
Suspension of the Offerings. We may suspend use of the Offerings immediately upon notice to you for cause if we, in good faith, determines: (a) that you or your Users materially breach (or we, in good faith, believes that you or your Users have materially breached) any provision of these Terms, and such breach violates a third party right or materially impacts the performance of the Offerings or other users’ enjoyment of the Offerings; (b) there is an unusual and material spike or increase in your use of the Offerings and that such traffic or use is fraudulent or materially and negatively impacting the operating capability of any products or services on the Offerings; (c) that our provision of the products or services on the Offerings is prohibited by applicable law or regulation; (d) there is any use of the Offerings by you or your Users that threatens the security, integrity, or availability of the Offerings; or (e) that information in your User Account or User Accounts of your Users are untrue, inaccurate, incomplete or otherwise fraudulent. You remain responsible for all fees.
Subscription Auto-Renewal. To ensure that you will not experience any interruption or loss of services, your Offerings include an automatic renewal option by default, according to which, unless you disable the auto-renewal option or cancel your subscription prior to its expiration, the subscription will automatically renew upon the end of the then applicable Subscription Term for a period of like term. You will provide any notice of non-renewal through the means we designate, which may include account settings on the Offerings or contacting our support team. Cancelling your subscription means that you will not be charged for the next billing cycle, but you will not receive any refunds or credits for amounts that have already been charged. Unless specified in an applicable Order, all renewals (a) are subject to the applicable products or services continuing to be offered on the Offerings, (b) will be charged at the then-current prices for the applicable Offerings, (c) will exclude any discount or other promotions offered during the prior Subscription Term, and (d) are subject to any changes in usage policies, usage limits or other Scope of Use. You agree that we may bill your credit card or other payment method for renewals, additional users, overages to set limits or Scopes of Use, expenses, and unpaid fees, as applicable. Either party may elect to not renew an Order by giving the other party at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to terminate such Order before the beginning of the next Subscription Term for such Order, and such termination shall be effective at the end of the then current Subscription Term.
Effect of Termination. Upon any termination or expiration of these Terms or any applicable Order, we shall no longer provide the applicable Offerings to you, and you shall promptly cease and cause your Users to promptly cease using the applicable Offerings. Upon termination of these Terms, each party shall promptly return or destroy all Confidential Information of the other party in its possession, except that each party may keep a copy of the other party’s Confidential Information for archival purposes, or otherwise in accordance with their respective internal recordkeeping procedures, or in compliance with applicable Laws, and will not be required to delete or destroy any copies maintained in its normal-course back-up media. After termination of any Order, we will have no obligation to store and/or make available Your Data for the applicable Offerings, and we may delete the same. All rights and obligations of the parties which by their nature are reasonably intended to survive such termination or expiration will survive termination or expiration of these Terms and each Order.
DISCLAIMERS, INDEMNIFICATION, AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Our Indemnification. We will defend you, your Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Customer Indemnitees”), against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against any of the Customer Indemnitees by a third party alleging that the Offerings infringe or misappropriate such third party’s intellectual property rights (a “Claim Against Customer”), and will indemnify the Customer Indemnitees from any damages (including reasonable attorney fees and costs) finally awarded against any of the Customer Indemnitees as a result of, or for amounts paid under a court-approved settlement of, a Claim Against Customer. If a Claim Against Customer is brought or is likely, in our sole opinion, to be brought, we will, at our option and expense (a) obtain the right for you to continue using the Offering; (b) replace or modify the affected Offering so that it becomes non-infringing; or (c) upon notice to you, terminate these Terms or your use of the affected Offerings, provided that in the case of subsection (c) we will promptly refund to you the prorated portion of any unearned pre-paid subscription fees paid hereunder for the affected Offerings.

Your Indemnification. You will defend us, our Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Katalon Indemnitees”) against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against any or all of the Katalon Indemnitees by a third party arising out of or attributable to the Excluded Claims, and will indemnify the Katalon Indemnitees from any damages, reasonable attorney fees and costs finally awarded against the Katalon Indemnitees as a result of, or for any amounts paid under a court-approved settlement of an Excluded Claim.
Indemnification Procedure. Each party’s obligation to indemnify the other party is conditioned on the party seeking indemnification: (a) promptly notifying the indemnifying party in writing of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed, provided that failure to so notify will not remove the indemnifying Party’s obligation except to the extent it is prejudiced thereby, (b) allowing the indemnifying party to solely control the defense of any claim, suit or proceeding and all negotiations for settlement; provided that the indemnifying party shall not settle any claim that requires the indemnified party to admit fault without the indemnified party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (c) giving the indemnifying party reasonable assistance in the defense and settlement of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed.
Sole Remedy. The foregoing indemnity obligations state the indemnifying party’s sole liability to, and the indemnified party’s exclusive remedy against, the other party for any type of claim described in this section.
Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT FOR EACH PARTY’S VIOLATION OF THE OTHER PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND EACH PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS ABOVE, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY UNDER THESE TERMS OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF CLAIM OR ACTION, IN AN AMOUNT THAT EXCEEDS THE FEES YOU HAVE PAID FOR THE OFFERINGS UNDER THE APPLICABLE ORDER IN THE PRECEDING 12 MONTHS. EXCEPT FOR EACH PARTY’S VIOLATION OF THE OTHER PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, IN NO EVENT WILL A PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR COSTS (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF GOODWILL OR PROFIT, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS) IN CONNECTION WITH THE OFFERINGS OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR COSTS.
MISCELLANEOUS
Assignment. Neither these Terms nor any rights or obligations under these Terms may be assigned or otherwise transferred by either party without the prior written consent of the other party; provided that, such prior written consent is not required for any assignment by either party to its Affiliates or to any successor of substantially all of its business or assets to which these Terms relates, whether by merger, sale of assets, sale of stock, reorganization or otherwise. These Terms shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
Governing Law. These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of any jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms. To the extent that any lawsuit is permitted under these Terms, the parties hereby expressly consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia, USA (to the extent not addressed by arbitration below, if any).
Dispute Resolution. In the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy in connection with these Terms (collectively, “Disputes”), each party’s senior representatives will, in good faith, attempt to resolve the Dispute. If the parties are unable to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days or within such other time period as the parties may agree in writing, then the parties may commence binding arbitration under JAMS’ Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The parties will share equally the fees and expenses of the JAMS arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted by a sole arbitrator mutually agreed to between the parties or, failing that, by JAMS under its then prevailing rules. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant specific performance or any other equitable or legal remedy, including provisional remedies. Each party will be responsible for its own incurred expenses arising out of any dispute resolution procedure. Any arbitration proceedings will take place in Fulton County, Georgia, USA.
Injunctive Relief. Nothing contained in these Terms shall deny either party the right to seek immediate injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction: (a) in the context of a bona fide emergency or prospective irreparable harm to preserve the status quo pending resolution of a dispute between the parties or (b) where a party alleges or claims a violation of any agreement regarding intellectual property, confidential information or noninterference. Such an action may be filed and maintained notwithstanding any ongoing discussions between the parties or any ongoing arbitration proceeding.

U.S. Government End-Use Provisions. The following applies to all acquisitions of the Offerings and Documentation by or for the U.S. government or by any prime contractor or subcontractor under any contract, grant or other activity with the U.S. government. The Offerings and Documentation and services utilizing the Offerings and Documentation provided under these Terms are “commercial items” 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 and other applicable acquisition regulations and are provided to the U.S. Government only as a commercial item.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Offerings and its associated services and Documentation may not be acquired by the U.S. government pursuant to a contract incorporating clauses prescribed by FAR Subpart 27.4 or DFARS Subpart 227.4.
Force Majeure. Nonperformance of either party, except for the making of payments, shall be excused to the extent that performance is rendered impossible by strike, fire, flood, earthquake, governmental acts or orders or restrictions, cyber-attacks, information security and data breaches caused by third parties, failure of cloud services, failure of suppliers, or any other reason where failure to perform is beyond the reasonable control of such party (collectively, “Force Majeure Events”). The party affected by a Force Majeure Event will take all reasonable actions to minimize the consequences of any such event.
Entire Agreement; Amendment. These Terms together with the Orders, and any attachments, schedules, exhibits and addenda (including without limitations, the Additional Customer Terms) referenced herein (the “Attachments”) constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof. All prior or contemporaneous agreements, proposals, understandings, and communications between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof, whether oral or written, are superseded by and merged into these Terms. No modification or amendment to these Terms, nor any Attachment or Order, will be binding unless by an agreement in a writing signed by both parties that specifically references and clearly states the intention to amend these Terms, such Attachment or such Order, as applicable. Any terms and conditions set forth in an Order shall solely be applicable to such Order and shall not affect any other Orders between the parties. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and those of any Order or Attachment, these Terms will control (unless such Order or Attachment is intended to control), and the terms of an Order, an Attachment, and these Terms will prevail over any conflicting provision in any purchase order or any other instrument regardless of execution by the parties. You may not use a purchase order or other instrument not issued by us to modify or add to these Terms, and all such attempted modifications or additions to these Terms in any such purchase order or instrument shall be void and of no effect, even if accepted or signed by both parties. Any purchase orders that are accepted by us are accepted expressly subject to these Terms without regards to any additional or conflicting terms therein.
Other Miscellaneous Terms. The relationship between the parties to these Terms is and shall be that of independent contractors. It is expressly agreed that nothing in these terms shall be construed to create or imply a partnership, joint venture, agency relationship or contract of employment. There are no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms. Any waiver of the provisions of these Terms or of a party’s rights or remedies under these Terms must be in writing referencing these Terms to be effective. Failure, neglect, or delay by a party to enforce the provisions of these Terms or its rights or remedies at any time shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such party’s rights under these Terms and shall not prejudice such party’s right to take subsequent action. A party’s waiver of the performance of any covenant or any breach is not to be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach or of any other covenant. If any term, condition, or provision in these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable term, condition or provision shall be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions, which shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. No action arising out of these Terms, regardless of form, may be brought by you more than one year after the date the cause of action has accrued.

You shall comply with the additional license terms, restrictions and conditions (including notices) pertaining to the Third Party Components or which we otherwise makes available to you (“Third Party Terms”).

  • Software identified in an Order as being provided on a “Floating License” basis may be installed and used on any computer within your internal enterprise network. Each Floating License subscription is assigned to one parallel usage session and shared across multiple User Accounts up to a maximum of three User Accounts at a time. Under a Floating License, you may use the applicable Software for the number of concurrent Users equal to the number of Floating License subscriptions purchased.
  • Software identified in an Order as being provided on a “Node-Locked License” basis means the applicable Software is tied to one specific Machine. This license applies for physical or virtual Machines with fixed hardware specifications in each execution session. As used herein, a “Machine” means a single computer operated by you on which you may run the Software.
  • By default, the Software will operate with online access (including for activation, support and updates). If you operate an instance of the Software offline (with no online access for activation, support or updates) on a Machine within your enterprise environment (“Offline Mode”), then the following terms apply:
    For Node-Locked Licenses. If you purchase a subscription to the Software under Node-Locked Licenses with Offline Mode, then any User may convert the User’s subscription access to Offline Mode. The User will submit into the subscription manager portion of the User Account the Machine ID of the Machine on which you will install the Software and obtain a license key from us in order to activate your copy of the Software on that Machine. Each instance of the Software in Offline Mode will count as a User’s subscription as part of the subscriptions for which you have paid. The Offline Mode for the applicable Software instance will expire 60 days from the date the User’s subscription is first put into Offline Mode (or the end of the Subscription Term, if that happens earlier).
    For Floating Licenses. If you purchase and deploy Floating Licenses for the applicable Software with Offline Mode, you must download and install the Katalon License Server to manage and track subscriptions. You will indicate to us the number of parallel usage sessions that will be conducted in Offline Mode. In such case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, we grant you a non-exclusive, nontransferable, non-sublicensable license to use the Katalon License Server solely as necessary to manage and track the subscriptions of the Software, as applicable. You will permit us to remotely access the Katalon License Server twice per year or provide us with a server-generated report from the Katalon License Server in the format specified by us, in each case so that we can verify usage is within the purchased subscription.

Any rights granted to you in such Reseller Agreement which are not contained in, or consistent with, this Agreement, apply only in connection with the Reseller. In that case, you must seek redress or realization or enforcement of such rights solely with the Reseller and not us.

We may suspend or terminate your rights to use the Offerings if we do not receive the corresponding payment from the Reseller.
  • Instead of an Order with us, your order details (e.g., the Offerings, Subscription Term, and Scope of Use) will be as stated in the Order placed with us by the Reseller on your behalf, and the Reseller is responsible for the accuracy of any such Order as communicated to us.

CHANGES TO TERMS
Changes to these Terms.

If the effective date of such modifications is during your then-current Subscription Term and you object to the modifications, then (as your exclusive remedy) you may terminate your affected Orders upon notice to us, and we will refund to you any fees you have pre-paid for use of the affected Offering for the terminated portion of the applicable Subscription Term. To exercise this right, you must provide us with notice of your objection and termination within thirty (30) days of us providing notice of the modifications. For the avoidance of doubt, any Order is subject to the version of these Terms in effect at the time of the Order.
TERM AND TERMINATION
Term. These Terms will commence upon your acceptance of an Order, your creation or access to a User Account, or your download, installation, activation or use of the Offerings and will remain in effect until otherwise terminated as set forth below.
Termination. A party may terminate any Order if the other party commits any material breach of such Order (or the provisions of these Terms applicable to the particular Order) and does not remedy the material breach within thirty (30) days after the date that it receives notice of the breach. These Terms may be terminated by either party immediately upon written notice, in the event that: (a) the other party files a petition, in bankruptcy, seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, or similar relief under any law regarding insolvency or relief for debtors, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (b) a receiver, trustee, or similar officer is appointed for the business or property of such party; or (c) the other party adopts a resolution for discontinuance of its business or for dissolution. We may terminate these Terms or any Orders in the event you fail to make any payments of fees when such payments are due. Termination of an Order shall not be deemed a termination of these Terms. Termination of these Terms shall, however, terminate all outstanding Orders. Either party may also terminate these Terms upon no less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other party for any reason, if at such time there are no outstanding Orders then currently in effect.
Suspension of the Offerings. We may suspend use of the Offerings immediately upon notice to you for cause if we, in good faith, determines: (a) that you or your Users materially breach (or we, in good faith, believes that you or your Users have materially breached) any provision of these Terms, and such breach violates a third party right or materially impacts the performance of the Offerings or other users’ enjoyment of the Offerings; (b) there is an unusual and material spike or increase in your use of the Offerings and that such traffic or use is fraudulent or materially and negatively impacting the operating capability of any products or services on the Offerings; (c) that our provision of the products or services on the Offerings is prohibited by applicable law or regulation; (d) there is any use of the Offerings by you or your Users that threatens the security, integrity, or availability of the Offerings; or (e) that information in your User Account or User Accounts of your Users are untrue, inaccurate, incomplete or otherwise fraudulent. You remain responsible for all fees.
Subscription Auto-Renewal. To ensure that you will not experience any interruption or loss of services, your Offerings include an automatic renewal option by default, according to which, unless you disable the auto-renewal option or cancel your subscription prior to its expiration, the subscription will automatically renew upon the end of the then applicable Subscription Term for a period of like term. You will provide any notice of non-renewal through the means we designate, which may include account settings on the Offerings or contacting our support team. Cancelling your subscription means that you will not be charged for the next billing cycle, but you will not receive any refunds or credits for amounts that have already been charged. Unless specified in an applicable Order, all renewals (a) are subject to the applicable products or services continuing to be offered on the Offerings, (b) will be charged at the then-current prices for the applicable Offerings, (c) will exclude any discount or other promotions offered during the prior Subscription Term, and (d) are subject to any changes in usage policies, usage limits or other Scope of Use. You agree that we may bill your credit card or other payment method for renewals, additional users, overages to set limits or Scopes of Use, expenses, and unpaid fees, as applicable. Either party may elect to not renew an Order by giving the other party at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to terminate such Order before the beginning of the next Subscription Term for such Order, and such termination shall be effective at the end of the then current Subscription Term.
Effect of Termination. Upon any termination or expiration of these Terms or any applicable Order, we shall no longer provide the applicable Offerings to you, and you shall promptly cease and cause your Users to promptly cease using the applicable Offerings. Upon termination of these Terms, each party shall promptly return or destroy all Confidential Information of the other party in its possession, except that each party may keep a copy of the other party’s Confidential Information for archival purposes, or otherwise in accordance with their respective internal recordkeeping procedures, or in compliance with applicable Laws, and will not be required to delete or destroy any copies maintained in its normal-course back-up media. After termination of any Order, we will have no obligation to store and/or make available Your Data for the applicable Offerings, and we may delete the same. All rights and obligations of the parties which by their nature are reasonably intended to survive such termination or expiration will survive termination or expiration of these Terms and each Order.

Our Indemnification. We will defend you, your Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Customer Indemnitees”), against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against any of the Customer Indemnitees by a third party alleging that the Offerings infringe or misappropriate such third party’s intellectual property rights (a “Claim Against Customer”), and will indemnify the Customer Indemnitees from any damages (including reasonable attorney fees and costs) finally awarded against any of the Customer Indemnitees as a result of, or for amounts paid under a court-approved settlement of, a Claim Against Customer. If a Claim Against Customer is brought or is likely, in our sole opinion, to be brought, we will, at our option and expense (a) obtain the right for you to continue using the Offering; (b) replace or modify the affected Offering so that it becomes non-infringing; or (c) upon notice to you, terminate these Terms or your use of the affected Offerings, provided that in the case of subsection (c) we will promptly refund to you the prorated portion of any unearned pre-paid subscription fees paid hereunder for the affected Offerings.

Indemnification Procedure. Each party’s obligation to indemnify the other party is conditioned on the party seeking indemnification: (a) promptly notifying the indemnifying party in writing of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed, provided that failure to so notify will not remove the indemnifying Party’s obligation except to the extent it is prejudiced thereby, (b) allowing the indemnifying party to solely control the defense of any claim, suit or proceeding and all negotiations for settlement; provided that the indemnifying party shall not settle any claim that requires the indemnified party to admit fault without the indemnified party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (c) giving the indemnifying party reasonable assistance in the defense and settlement of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed.

These Terms shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
Governing Law. These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of any jurisdiction.

The parties will share equally the fees and expenses of the JAMS arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted by a sole arbitrator mutually agreed to between the parties or, failing that, by JAMS under its then prevailing rules. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Each party will be responsible for its own incurred expenses arising out of any dispute resolution procedure. Any arbitration proceedings will take place in Fulton County, Georgia, USA.

Entire Agreement; Amendment. These Terms together with the Orders, and any attachments, schedules, exhibits and addenda (including without limitations, the Additional Customer Terms) referenced herein (the “Attachments”) constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof.

Any terms and conditions set forth in an Order shall solely be applicable to such Order and shall not affect any other Orders between the parties. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and those of any Order or Attachment, these Terms will control (unless such Order or Attachment is intended to control), and the terms of an Order, an Attachment, and these Terms will prevail over any conflicting provision in any purchase order or any other instrument regardless of execution by the parties.

If any term, condition, or provision in these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable term, condition or provision shall be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions, which shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

We may suspend or terminate your rights to use the Offerings if we do not receive the corresponding payment from the Reseller.

8.3. Indemnification Procedure. Each party’s obligation to indemnify the other party is conditioned on the party seeking indemnification: (a) promptly notifying the indemnifying party in writing of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed, provided that failure to so notify will not remove the indemnifying party’s obligation except to the extent it is prejudiced thereby, (b) allowing the indemnifying party to solely control the defense of any claim, suit or proceeding and all negotiations for settlement; provided that the indemnifying party shall not settle any claim that requires the indemnified party to admit fault without the indemnified party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (c) giving the indemnifying party reasonable assistance in the defense and settlement of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed.

If the effective date of such modifications is during your then-current Term and you object to the modifications, then (as your exclusive remedy) you may terminate this Agreement. To exercise this right, you must provide us with notice of your objection and termination within thirty (30) days of us providing notice of the modifications.

11.6. No Assurances. You have no expectation and have received no assurances that your business relationship with us will continue for any specified time beyond the term of this Agreement, that any investment in the promotion of the Offerings will be recovered or recouped, or that it will receive any anticipated amount of profits by virtue of this Agreement. Neither party shall be liable to any other damages, indemnity, or compensation solely on account of the termination or expiration of this Agreement with or without cause as provided herein, whether such damages, indemnity, or compensation might be claimed for loss through loss of investments, loss of present or prospective profits, loss of goodwill or any other loss caused by termination or expiration of this Agreement howsoever arising, and whether foreseeable or otherwise. However, termination or expiration of this Agreement, howsoever arising, shall not prejudice in any way any rights of a party with regard to any antecedent breaches by the other party which occurred on or before the date of termination or expiration, as the case may be.

Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or otherwise transferred by either party without the prior written consent of the other party; provided that, such prior written consent is not required for any assignment by either party to its Affiliates or to any successor of substantially all of its business or assets to which this Agreement relates, whether by merger, sale of assets, sale of stock, reorganization or otherwise.

(a) Each Customer’s right to access and use the Offerings shall continue in accordance with such Customer’s subscription terms to the Offerings, and you will cooperate to transition existing Customers to us for any renewals of such subscription terms upon the termination hereof. However, in case of the on-premises products, Customers’ license will only last through the remainder of the Customers’ then-existing term of the Reseller Agreement; and
(b) You may solely continue to provide first-line support services for the Offerings in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the remainder of each Customer’s then-existing subscription term.

(a) You shall provide Tier 1 and Tier 2 support directly to Customers as described below and will (i) provide either of telephone, web-based and/or email support to Customers during normal business hours; (ii) respond to all Customers’ support queries, based on the Reseller Agreements; and (iii) clearly and conspicuously within the online help information, direct Customers to contact only you for technical support.

We will provide support directly to Customers as per its support policy, and you shall cooperate and work closely with us to resolve such issues, including conducting diagnostic or troubleshooting activities as reasonably requested and appropriate.

You shall not make available the Integrated Products for use by anyone else until you have successfully completed the Validation Process and the parties have confirmed validation in writing. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Validation Process is conducted in a controlled environment and that we make no commitments to you or anyone else that the successful completion of the validation process will necessarily lead to the successful performance of the Offering with the Integrated Products.
4. Integrated Product Non-Production Use. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you grant us a non-exclusive, non-transferable license during the term of this Agreement to access a limited portion of the Integrated Products solely for our training, evaluation, and integration of the Integrated Products with the Offerings. We may not grant any license of the Integrated Products to any third party as part of such non-production use.
5. Reservation of Right. Except for the limited rights expressly granted above, you exclusively own and reserves all right, title, and interest in and to the Integrated Products, your Marks, Materials and Confidential Information, including all intellectual property rights therein. No rights are granted to us hereunder other than as expressly set forth above in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement, we will not (a) reproduce, modify, adapt or create derivative works of the Integrated Products, (b) reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, translate or otherwise seek to obtain or derive the source code, underlying ideas, algorithms, file formats or non-public APIs to the Integrated Products, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law (and then only upon advance notice to TP), (c) remove or obscure any proprietary or other notices on the Integrated Products, (d) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Integrated Products, interfere with, or otherwise circumvent any security measures or mechanisms within the Integrated Products, (e) publicly disseminate information regarding the performance of any products or services on the Integrated Products; (g) use the Integrated Products to transmit or store any malicious code, files, scripts, agents or programs intended to do harm, including, for example, viruses, worms, time bombs and Trojan horses; or (h) encourage or assist any third party to do any of the foregoing.
6. Marketing Development Fund. Notwithstanding other provisions under this Agreement, subject to your compliance with all terms and conditions of this Agreement, we will contribute your Referral Commission to a marketing development fund maintained by us (“MDF”) instead of transferring such Referral Commission directly to you. You may use the contributions we make to the MDF solely for the purpose of marketing and referring prospective customers to the Offerings. In order to request an amount from the MDF, you shall follow the instructions in our MDF Program Terms found on our Partner portal. We shall then make available the requested amount based on the conditions under this Agreement.
C. REFERRALS

You may refer a lead to us in order for us to sell our Offerings (a “Proposed Lead”) by filling in the Opportunity Registration Form we provide or as available on our website. You shall not refer a direct competitor of Katalon or any entity being a Restricted Party as a Proposed Lead. If the Proposed Lead (a) is not a potential customer that Katalon is engaging, and (b) has not been referred or registered by any other party, we will send you a written approval following the submission of the Opportunity Registration Form acknowledging your registration of such Proposed Lead. If the Proposed Lead has been previously identified by Katalon or referred by another party, you will be promptly notified and shall not be entitled to receive a Referral Commission (as defined below).
2. Pursuit of Proposed Leads by Katalon. We may, at our sole discretion, contact and seek business opportunities in Proposed Leads and may refuse to provide any Offerings to any Proposed Leads without any liability to us.
3. Qualified Referral. A Proposed Lead becomes a qualified referral (“Qualified Referral”), and you become eligible for a Referral Commission only if: (a) your registration of such Proposed Lead has been approved by us in writing; (b) you have not entered into any agreement for sales of Offerings with such Proposed Lead; and (c) such Proposed Lead enters into an agreement with us for sales of our Offerings within ninety (90) days from the date of the written approval of such Proposed Lead registration.
4. Referral Commissions. You will be paid a commission equal to a percentage indicated in the Partner Program Terms of the Net Revenue for each Qualified Referral (a “Referral Commission”).
5. Payment. Referral Commission payments will be paid on a quarterly basis within thirty (30) days following the end of the calendar quarter in which Katalon fully receives the Net Revenue. In case this Agreement is terminated or expired, except in the event of termination for your breach, Katalon will only pay you the Referral Commission on the Net Revenue received within 30 days following termination of this Agreement for the Qualified Referral determined prior to the date of termination or expiration of this Agreement.

7. INDEMNIFICATION
7.1. Our Indemnification. We will defend you, your Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Partner Indemnitees”), against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against any of the Partner Indemnitees by a third party alleging that the Offerings infringe or misappropriate such third party’s intellectual property rights (a “Claim Against Partner”), and will indemnify the Partner Indemnitees from any damages (including reasonable attorney fees and costs) finally awarded against any of the Partner Indemnitees as a result of, or for amounts paid under a court-approved settlement of, a Claim Against Partner. If a Claim Against Partner is brought or is likely, in our sole opinion, to be brought, we will, at our option and expense (a) obtain the right for you to continue using the Offering; (b) replace or modify the affected Offering so that it becomes non-infringing; or (c) upon notice to you, terminate this Agreement or your use of the affected Offerings, provided that in the case of subsection (c) we will promptly refund to you the prorated portion of any unearned pre-paid subscription fees paid hereunder for the affected Offerings. Our obligations in this section do not cover third party claims to the extent such claims arise from: (i) any products, services, technology, materials or data created or provided by a party other than us, (ii) any part of the Offerings made in whole or in part in accordance to your specifications, (iii) any modifications not made by us, (iv) any combination with other products, processes or materials not provided by us (where the alleged damages, costs or expenses arise from or relate to such combination), (v) where you continue the allegedly infringing activity after being notified thereof or after being informed of modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement, or (vi) your use of the Offerings not strictly in accordance with this Agreement or any Documentation ((i) through (vi), the “Excluded Claims”).

You will defend us, our Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Katalon Indemnitees”) against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against any or all of the Katalon Indemnitees by a third party arising out of or attributable to the Excluded Claims, and will indemnify the Katalon Indemnitees from any damages, reasonable attorney fees and costs finally awarded against the Katalon Indemnitees as a result of, or for any amounts paid under a court-approved settlement of an Excluded Claim.
7.3. Indemnification Procedure. Each party’s obligation to indemnify the other party is conditioned on the party seeking indemnification: (a) promptly notifying the indemnifying party in writing of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed, provided that failure to so notify will not remove the indemnifying party’s obligation except to the extent it is prejudiced thereby, (b) allowing the indemnifying party to solely control the defense of any claim, suit or proceeding and all negotiations for settlement; provided that the indemnifying party shall not settle any claim that requires the indemnified party to admit fault without the indemnified party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (c) giving the indemnifying party reasonable assistance in the defense and settlement of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed.
7.4. Sole Remedy. The foregoing indemnity obligations state the indemnifying party’s sole liability to, and the indemnified party’s exclusive remedy against, the other party for any type of claim described in this section.

EXCEPT FOR EACH PARTY’S VIOLATION OF THE OTHER PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, IN NO EVENT WILL A PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR COSTS (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF GOODWILL OR PROFIT, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS) IN CONNECTION WITH THE OFFERINGS OR THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR COSTS.
9. CHANGES TO TERMS
We may modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement from time to time, with notice to you in accordance with the provision on Notices below or by posting the modified Agreement on our website; provided, however, any modifications to this Agreement will take effect at the next renewal of the Term and will automatically apply as of the renewal date unless you elect not to renew. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in some cases (e.g., to address compliance with Laws, as necessary for new features, or to update Partner Program Terms) we may specify that such modifications become effective during your then-current Term. If the effective date of such modifications is during your then-current Term and you object to the modifications, then (as your exclusive remedy) you may terminate this Agreement. To exercise this right, you must provide us with notice of your objection and termination within thirty (30) days of us providing notice of the modifications. For the avoidance of doubt, any Order is subject to the version of this Agreement in effect at the time of the Order.
10. TERM AND TERMINATION
10.1. Term. The term of this Agreement will continue for two years from the Effective Date and is subject to auto-renewal in accordance with this Agreement (“Term”).

A party may terminate this Agreement or an Order if the other party commits any material breach of this Agreement or such Order and does not remedy the material breach within thirty (30) days after the date that it receives notice of the breach. This Agreement may be terminated by either party immediately upon written notice, in the event that: (a) the other party files a petition, in bankruptcy, seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, or similar relief under any law regarding insolvency or relief for debtors, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (b) a receiver, trustee, or similar officer is appointed for the business or property of such party; or (c) the other party adopts a resolution for discontinuance of its business or for dissolution. Notwithstanding other provision hereunder, Katalon may immediately terminate this Agreement in the event the Partner fails to make any payments when such payments are due. Termination of an Order shall not be deemed a termination of this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement shall, however, terminate all outstanding Orders.
10.4. Auto-Renewal. To ensure that you will not experience any interruption or loss of services, the Partnership includes an automatic renewal option by default, according to which, unless you notify us of your intention not to renew at least sixty (60) days prior to its expiration, the Term will automatically renew upon the end of the then applicable Term for additional one-year period. Unless specified in an applicable Order, all renewals (a) are subject to the applicable products or services continuing to be offered on the Offerings, (b) will be charged at the then-current prices for the applicable Offerings, (c) will exclude any discount or other promotions offered during the prior Term, and (d) are subject to any changes in usage policies, usage limits or other conditions on the Offerings.

Each party shall promptly return or destroy all Confidential Information of the other party in its possession, except that each party may keep a copy of the other party’s Confidential Information for archival purposes, or otherwise in accordance with their respective internal recordkeeping procedures, or in compliance with applicable laws, and will not be required to delete or destroy any copies maintained in its normal-course back-up media. All rights and obligations of the parties which by their nature are reasonably intended to survive such termination or expiration will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement and each Order. Subject to the foregoing and to any rights or obligations which have accrued prior to the termination, neither party shall have any further obligation to the other party under this Agreement.
10.6. No Assurances. You have no expectation and have received no assurances that your business relationship with us will continue for any specified time beyond the term of this Agreement, that any investment in the promotion of the Offerings will be recovered or recouped, or that it will receive any anticipated amount of profits by virtue of this Agreement. Neither party shall be liable to any other damages, indemnity, or compensation solely on account of the termination or expiration of this Agreement with or without cause as provided herein, whether such damages, indemnity, or compensation might be claimed for loss through loss of investments, loss of present or prospective profits, loss of goodwill or any other loss caused by termination or expiration of this Agreement howsoever arising, and whether foreseeable or otherwise. However, termination or expiration of this Agreement, howsoever arising, shall not prejudice in any way any rights of a party with regard to any antecedent breaches by the other party which occurred on or before the date of termination or expiration, as the case may be.
11. MISCELLANEOUS
11.1. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or otherwise transferred by either party without the prior written consent of the other party; provided that, such prior written consent is not required for any assignment by either party to its Affiliates or to any successor of substantially all of its business or assets to which this Agreement relates, whether by merger, sale of assets, sale of stock, reorganization or otherwise. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assign.
11.2. Force Majeure.

The party affected by a Force Majeure Event will take all reasonable actions to minimize the consequences of any such event.
11.3. Notice. All notices, consents and other communications hereunder shall be provided in writing and shall be delivered personally or by email or registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) to the parties at the addresses set forth on the Partnership Registration Form (or such other address as may have been furnished by or on behalf of such party by like notice); provided that, for any notices sent to us, a copy of the notice will be sent to legal@katalon.com. The parties hereby agree that any electronic communication will satisfy any applicable legal communication requirements, including that such communications be in writing. Communications sent by email shall be deemed delivered upon dispatch. Communications sent by registered or certified mail shall be deemed delivered upon receipt.
11.4. Relationship of Parties.

11.5. Injunctive Relief. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall deny either party the right to seek immediate injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction: (a) in the context of a bona fide emergency or prospective irreparable harm to preserve the status quo pending resolution of a dispute between the parties or (b) where a party alleges or claims a violation of any agreement regarding intellectual property, confidential information or noninterference.

11.6. Additional Partner Terms. Additional terms and conditions specific to the Partner Type (Solution Partner or Technology Partner) designated in the Partnership Registration Form are set forth in the Addendum (the “Additional Partner Terms”), and such particular Additional Partner Terms will apply in addition to this Agreement.

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement. To the extent that any lawsuit is permitted under this Agreement, the parties hereby expressly consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia, USA (to the extent not addressed by arbitration below, if any).
11.8. Dispute Resolution. In the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy in connection with this Agreement (collectively, “Disputes”), each party’s senior representatives will, in good faith, attempt to resolve the Dispute.

The parties will share equally the fees and expenses of the JAMS arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted by a sole arbitrator mutually agreed to between the parties or, failing that, by JAMS under its then prevailing rules. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant specific performance or any other equitable or legal remedy, including provisional remedies. Each party will be responsible for its own incurred expenses arising out of any dispute resolution procedure. Any arbitration proceedings will take place in Fulton County, Georgia, USA.
11.9. Amendment; Entire Agreement; No Waiver. There are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement. No amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement will be effective unless it is in writing, references and clearly states the intention to amend this Agreement, and is signed by authorized representatives of the parties. You may not use a purchase order or other instrument not issued by Katalon to modify or supplement this Agreement, and all such attempted modifications or additions to this Agreement in any such purchase order or instrument shall be void and of no effect, even if accepted or signed by both parties. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous understandings, communications, statements, agreements, and arrangements with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether written or oral. Any waiver of the provisions of this Agreement or of a party’s rights or remedies under this Agreement must be in writing referencing this Agreement to be effective. Failure, neglect, or delay by a party to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or its rights or remedies at any time shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such party’s rights under this Agreement and shall not prejudice such party’s right to take subsequent action. A party’s waiver of the performance of any covenant or any breach is not to be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach or of any other covenant.
11.10. Severability. . If any term, condition, or provision in this Agreement is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable to any extent, the invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable term, condition or provision shall be severed from the remaining terms, conditions, and provisions, which shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

A. SOLUTION PARTNER
1. Distribution Right
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, we hereby grant you, as a Solution Partner, a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to distribute the Offerings to Customers pursuant to agreements between you and Customers (“Reseller Agreement”). You shall not appoint sub-distributors, resellers, or other third parties to make available the Offerings to Customers.
2. Order
You shall execute an Order under the form provided by us for the Offerings you distribute to a Customer. Each executed Order is subject to and be governed by the terms of this Agreement, and in the event of any conflict between this Agreement and those of any Order, this Agreement will control (unless such Order is intended to control), and the terms of an Order and this Agreement will prevail over any conflicting provision in any purchase order or any other instrument regardless of execution by the parties.
3. Duties Regarding Proprietary Rights
You shall use commercially reasonable efforts to protect and assist in the enforcement of our intellectual property rights in the Offerings, Materials, and Documentation and shall promptly report to us any known or suspected infringement or other violation of our intellectual property rights of which you become aware.
4. Customer Relations
You shall notify us whenever there is a change in the relationship with a Customer (e.g., termination) that affects the parties’ obligations under this Agreement. In case you purchase and use the Offerings as part of the services that you provide to your Customers in respect to your products and services, such use will be governed under the Customer Terms of Use.
5. Post-Termination
In addition and without prejudice to relevant provisions under this Agreement, upon termination of this Agreement the following provisions apply:
(a) Each Customer’s right to access and use the Offerings shall continue in accordance with such Customer’s subscription terms to the Offerings, and you will cooperate to transition existing Customers to us for any renewals of such subscription terms upon the termination hereof. However, in case of the on-premises products, Customers’ license will only last through the remainder of the Customers’ then-existing term of the Reseller Agreement; and
(b) You may solely continue to provide first-line support services for the Offerings in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the remainder of each Customer’s then-existing subscription term.
6. Support
We will provide support directly to Customers as per our support policy, except for the case of on-premises products. Where Customer uses an on-premises product, you may provide support to Customers subject to your Partner level as below:
6.1. Silver or Member Level. We shall provide support directly to Customers as per our support policy.
6.2. Gold Level or higher.
(a) You shall provide Tier 1 and Tier 2 support directly to Customers as described below and will (i) provide either of telephone, web-based and/or email support to Customers during normal business hours; (ii) respond to all Customers’ support queries, based on the Reseller Agreements; and (iii) clearly and conspicuously within the online help information, direct Customers to contact only you for technical support. You will be responsible for distributing all Katalon product releases to Customers and ensuring that they are upgraded to the most current version available.
  • Tier 1 Support. “Tier 1 Support” is for direct support to users, inclusive of basic Customer issues, application function and usage. Responsibilities under Tier 1 Support include gathering details from the Customers to define the problem statement and to determine if common issues can be resolved immediately (e.g., password reset, user permission issues, or providing basic user clarification based on available documentation). At a minimum, you will gather user navigation steps that serve to define the problem clearly (e.g., navigation steps that serve to reproduce the issue or error message, error message details, and system details) and clarification based on Documentation and knowledgebase details. If Tier 1 Support personnel cannot resolve the issue, they are responsible for escalating the issue to Tier 2 Support through defined support channels.
  • Tier 2 Support. “Tier 2 Support” is the in-depth technical support requiring deeper subject matter expertise, including system administration and application configuration, which may be applicable to Customer-specific settings, and specific conditions, which vary from Customer to Customer. Tier 2 Support requires more advanced troubleshooting and debugging skills, and familiarity with Customer ecosystems, including integrations.
(b) If Tier 2 Support personnel have exhausted all support options, and cannot resolve the issue, or if they determine the problem is a new issue, and requires further assistance, or cannot adequately resolve the issue after exercising their best efforts to resolve it, they are responsible for escalating the issue to our support through defined support channels. We will provide support directly to Customers as per its support policy, and you shall cooperate and work closely with us to resolve such issues, including conducting diagnostic or troubleshooting activities as reasonably requested and appropriate. You acknowledge and agree that only your designated representatives can interact with our support team.
(c) You may provide additional support to Customers, but you are solely responsible for the same.

Katalon may suspend or terminate the use of the Offerings if we do not receive the payment from you.

B. TECHNOLOGY PARTNER

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, we hereby grant you, as a Technology Partner, a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to integrate the Offerings into your products and/or services (“Integrated Products”) in accordance with the Documentation and our guidelines and instructions.

Once the initial integration activities are complete, the parties will test and validate the integration of the Offerings with the Integrated Products and ensure they meet the criteria set forth in the Documentation and Katalon’s guidelines and instructions (the “Validation Process”). Thereafter, parties will conduct the Validation Process whenever (a) either party intends to issue an update or change that is likely to affect the integration of the Offerings and the Integrated Products, or (b) one party reasonably requests the Validation Process.

6. Marketing Development Fund
Notwithstanding other provisions under this Agreement, subject to your compliance with all terms and conditions of this Agreement, we will contribute your Referral Commission to a marketing development fund maintained by us (“MDF”) instead of transferring such Referral Commission directly to you. You may use the contributions we make to the MDF solely for the purpose of marketing and referring prospective customers to the Offerings.

Each party’s obligation to indemnify the other party is conditioned on the party seeking indemnification: (a) promptly notifying the indemnifying party in writing of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed, provided that failure to so notify will not remove the indemnifying party’s obligation except to the extent it is prejudiced thereby, (b) allowing the indemnifying party to solely control the defense of any claim, suit or proceeding and all negotiations for settlement; provided that the indemnifying party shall not settle any claim that requires the indemnified party to admit fault without the indemnified party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (c) giving the indemnifying party reasonable assistance in the defense and settlement of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed.
7.4. Sole Remedy. The foregoing indemnity obligations state the indemnifying party’s sole liability to, and the indemnified party’s exclusive remedy against, the other party for any type of claim described in this section.
8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF CLAIM OR ACTION: (I) IN AN AMOUNT THAT EXCEEDS THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY THE PARTY MAKING THE CLAIM TO THE OTHER PARTY IN THE PRECEDING TWELVE (12) MONTHS; OR (II) FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR COSTS (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF GOODWILL OR PROFIT, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS) IN CONNECTION WITH THE OFFERINGS OR THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR COSTS.

The parties hereby acknowledge that the provisions of this paragraph allocate the risks under this Agreement and the applicable Order which are acknowledged and agreed by and between you and us, and our pricing reflects this allocation of risk and the limitation of liability specified herein.
9. CHANGES TO TERMS.
We may modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement from time to time, with notice to you in accordance with the provision on Notices below or by posting the modified Agreement on our website; provided, however, any modifications to this Agreement will take effect at the next renewal of the Term and will automatically apply as of the renewal date unless you elect not to renew. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in some cases (e.g., to address compliance with laws, as necessary for new features, or to update Partner Program Terms) we may specify that such modifications become effective during your then-current Term. If the effective date of such modifications is during your then-current Term and you object to the modifications, then (as your exclusive remedy) you may terminate this Agreement. To exercise this right, you must provide us with notice of your objection and termination within thirty (30) days of us providing notice of the modifications. For the avoidance of doubt, any Order is subject to the version of this Agreement in effect at the time of the Order.

This Agreement may be terminated by either party immediately upon written notice, in the event that: (a) the other party files a petition, in bankruptcy, seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, or similar relief under any law regarding insolvency or relief for debtors, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (b) a receiver, trustee, or similar officer is appointed for the business or property of such party; or (c) the other party adopts a resolution for discontinuance of its business or for dissolution. Notwithstanding other provision hereunder, Katalon may immediately terminate this Agreement in the event the Partner fails to make any payments when such payments are due. Termination of an Order shall not be deemed a termination of this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement shall, however, terminate all outstanding Orders.
10.4. Auto-Renewal. To ensure that you will not experience any interruption or loss of services, the Partnership includes an automatic renewal option by default, according to which, unless you notify us of your intention not to renew at least thirty (30) days prior to its expiration, the Term will automatically renew upon the end of the then applicable Term for additional one-year period.

All rights and obligations of the parties which by their nature are reasonably intended to survive such termination or expiration will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement and each Order. Subject to the foregoing and to any rights or obligations which have accrued prior to the termination, neither party shall have any further obligation to the other party under this Agreement.
10.6. No Assurances. You have no expectation and have received no assurances that your business relationship with us will continue for any specified time beyond the term of this Agreement, that any investment in the promotion of the Offerings will be recovered or recouped, or that it will receive any anticipated amount of profits by virtue of this Agreement. Neither party shall be liable to any other damages, indemnity, or compensation solely on account of the termination or expiration of this Agreement with or without cause as provided herein, whether such damages, indemnity, or compensation might be claimed for loss through loss of investments, loss of present or prospective profits, loss of goodwill or any other loss caused by termination or expiration of this Agreement howsoever arising, and whether foreseeable or otherwise. However, termination or expiration of this Agreement, howsoever arising, shall not prejudice in any way any rights of a party with regard to any antecedent breaches by the other party which occurred on or before the date of termination or expiration, as the case may be.

Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or otherwise transferred by either party without the prior written consent of the other party; provided that, such prior written consent is not required for any assignment by either party to its Affiliates or to any successor of substantially all of its business or assets to which this Agreement relates, whether by merger, sale of assets, sale of stock, reorganization or otherwise.

The arbitration will be conducted by a sole arbitrator mutually agreed to between the parties or, failing that, by JAMS under its then prevailing rules. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Any waiver of the provisions of this Agreement or of a party’s rights or remedies under this Agreement must be in writing referencing this Agreement to be effective.

A party’s waiver of the performance of any covenant or any breach is not to be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach or of any other covenant.
11.10. Severability. If any term, condition, or provision in this Agreement is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable to any extent, the invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable term, condition or provision shall be severed from the remaining terms, conditions, and provisions, which shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
