Next, we move on to Section 5 of the agreement:
This section clarifies that the use of the word “purchase” in relation to licenses, license keys, or the Software does not imply a transfer of ownership. The Agreement does not grant you any rights, title, or interest in the Software, Documentation, trademarks, service marks, trade secrets, or corresponding intellectual property of Devaten or its suppliers, except as expressly stated.

Next, we have Section 6 of the agreement:
6.1 Confidentiality; Personal Data.
– Confidential Information refers to nonpublic or proprietary information, in any form, disclosed under the agreement. This includes the Software, Documentation, intellectual property, proprietary rights, and Personal Data. It may also include confidential information received from a third party.
– However, Confidential Information does not include information that is publicly available, already known to the receiving party, received from a third party without restrictions, or independently developed without using the Confidential Information.
6.2 Protection of Data.
– Devaten will process configuration, performance, usage, and consumption data related to the Software, including Personal Data, in accordance with its Privacy Notice.
– Both parties agree to comply with applicable data protection legislation and maintain appropriate security measures to protect Confidential Information and Personal Data.

– The Receiving Party may disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party only to its employees or contractors who have a legitimate need to know the information for the purposes of the Agreement. These employees or contractors must be bound by confidentiality obligations similar to those outlined in the Agreement.
– The Receiving Party must make commercially reasonable efforts to protect the Confidential Information from unauthorized or unlawful processing by implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures to maintain an appropriate level of security.
– Both parties are responsible for any breach of the Agreement committed by their consultants or agents.

In summary, this section establishes the obligations of the Receiving Party regarding the use and protection of Confidential Information. It outlines the permissible uses of the Confidential Information, restrictions on use for unauthorized purposes, limitations on disclosure to authorized individuals, the requirement for maintaining confidentiality, and the prohibition on exploiting the Confidential Information without explicit rights granted by the Disclosing Party.
Next, we have Section 7 of the agreement, which covers the limited warranty provided by Devaten:
– Devaten Worldwide warrants that the Software will perform substantially in accordance with the Documentation for a period of thirty (30) days from the initial purchase and delivery of the Software.
– This warranty does not guarantee that the Software will meet all of Your requirements or that its use will be uninterrupted or error-free.
– The warranty only applies to failures in the operation of the Software that can be reproduced in standalone form. It does not cover situations where the Software has been modified or altered by You or any unauthorized third party, operated in violation of the Agreement or Documentation, or failures caused by other software or hardware products.
– Devaten Worldwide’s liability and Your exclusive remedy for any breach of the warranty is, at Devaten Worldwide’s sole option and expense, to promptly repair or replace the non-conforming Software or refund the applicable license fees paid upon the return of the non-conforming item. If repair or replacement is not feasible, a refund may be issued.
– The warranty is void if the failure of the Software is a result of accident, abuse, or misapplication. Any replacement Software provided under this warranty will be warranted for thirty (30) days.
– Except for the warranties expressly stated in this section, Devaten provides and licenses the Software to You on an “as is” basis, without any other warranties, whether statutory, express, or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, title, non-infringement, and fitness for a particular purpose.
In summary, Devaten provides a limited warranty for the Software, stating that it will perform as described in the Documentation for a period of thirty days. However, this warranty is subject to certain conditions and exclusions. Devaten disclaims all other warranties, except those expressly stated in this section, and provides the Software “as is.”
Next is Section 8 of the agreement, which covers intellectual property indemnification:
– Devaten Worldwide agrees to indemnify and hold You harmless from any third-party claim that the Software, as provided by Devaten Worldwide under this Agreement and used within the scope of this Agreement, infringes or misappropriates any U.S. patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other intellectual property rights of a third party.
– Devaten Worldwide’s indemnification obligations are subject to the following conditions: (i) Your use of the Software is in conformity with the Agreement and Documentation; (ii) the infringement is not caused by modification or alteration of the Software or Documentation; and/or (iii) the infringement was not caused by combining or using the Software with products not supplied by Devaten.
– To benefit from Devaten Worldwide’s indemnification, You must: (i) promptly notify Devaten Worldwide in writing of the claim; (ii) grant Devaten Worldwide sole control over the selection of legal counsel, defense, and settlement of the claim; and (iii) provide Devaten Worldwide with reasonable assistance, information, and authority required for the defense and settlement of the claim.
– This section sets forth Devaten’s entire liability and shall be Your sole and exclusive remedy concerning indemnification.
In summary, Devaten Worldwide agrees to indemnify and defend You against third-party claims asserting that the Software infringes any U.S. intellectual property rights. However, certain conditions must be met for this indemnification to apply, including compliance with the Agreement and Documentation and not modifying the Software. You must promptly notify Devaten of any claim and cooperate in the defense. This section outlines the extent of Devaten’s liability and serves as Your sole remedy for indemnification.
Next is Section 9 of the agreement, which addresses the limitation of liability:
– To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Devaten, its directors, officers, agents, suppliers, and licensors will not be liable to You (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) for an amount exceeding the total license fees paid to Devaten by You in the preceding twelve (12) months for the applicable Software.
– To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Devaten, its directors, officers, agents, suppliers, and licensors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to lost profits, lost business opportunities, loss of use of the service offering, loss of goodwill, business interruption, loss or corruption of Your data, lost savings, or other economic damages arising out of this Agreement or the use or inability to use the Software or Documentation.
– These limitations of liability will apply even if Devaten or a dealer authorized by Devaten has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
– These limitations will remain in effect and apply despite any failure of the essential purpose of this Agreement or any limited remedy provided under this Agreement.
In summary, the liability of Devaten, its directors, officers, agents, suppliers, and licensors is limited to the amount of license fees paid by You in the twelve months preceding the claim. Devaten and its associated parties will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or other specified damages, even if they were advised of the possibility of such damages. These limitations of liability will continue to apply regardless of any failure of the essential purpose of the Agreement or any limited remedies provided.

Please note that this is a summary of Section 10 and it is always recommended to refer to the original agreement for the complete and accurate wording.

If the Software is bundled with third-party software programs, those programs are governed by their own license terms, which may include open source or free software licenses. In the event of any conflict between the terms of those licenses and this Agreement, the terms of the third-party programs’ licenses will take precedence over this Agreement regarding Your use of those specific third-party programs. It is important to note that this Agreement does not limit an end user’s rights under, or grant rights that supersede, the terms of any third-party software.
