Distributors must be authorized by Licensor to distribute the Software for this License to be valid. An Order may establish prices and volume/metrics of licensed Software but may not modify those Artesca License and support Terms & Conditions unless the Order expressly states that the Order terms supersede those Artesca License and support Terms & Conditions, and such provision is separately signed by Licensor. Licensor owns and retains the exclusive right, title and interest, including intellectual property rights, in the Software and Software documentation and all Software and Software documentation and copies made thereof are licensed, not sold.
2. LICENSE TYPES
The Software may be licensed in an Order as a Free License or as a Term License. A Free License is subject to the special terms and conditions in the section “FREE LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS” below. A Term License means a license to use the Software for a specific period of time or for a specific usable storage capacity, or both, as set forth on the Order. In those Artesca License and support Terms & Conditions, the term “Commercial License” means a Term License.
3. OWNERSHIP
Unless Licensee breaches those Artesca License and support Terms & Conditions or the Order and Licensor terminates those Artesca License and support Terms & Conditions and/or an Order, Licensor grants Licensee a worldwide, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable during the Term set forth on an Order, license to use the object code version of the Software for up to the usable storage capacity identified on the Order Form (if the Order fails to specify a specific amount of storage the storage limit shall be one terabyte) at the location(s) set forth on the Order.
Unless otherwise specified on the Order, the License shall start on the date the Licensor receives a valid order from the Licensee or an Authorized Reseller.
Licensee is also licensed to use and make internal copies of all Software documentation provided by Licensor solely in connection with the use of the Software as authorized above. Licensee may make internal copies of the Software solely for backup and restoration purposes but may not use such copies of the Software for live or production use, or any direct or indirect use of the Software which is in live or production use or serving its final or intended or revenue generating purpose (Production Use).
“usable storage capacity” is calculated by dividing total raw capacity used for storing data (which the total capacity of disks used to store data) by the data protection overhead required to protect data on such hardware per the attached formula:
usable data = (raw storage used to store data) / (data protection overhead).
Licensee may only use the Software on operating system listed on the Licensor website at www.scality.com as compatible with the Software.
4. FREE LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Der Lizenzgeber kann das Recht einräumen, die Software für einen bestimmten Zeitraum (die „Testphase“) kostenlos zu nutzen. Jede Testphase und das Startdatum werden auf der Website des Lizenzgebers angegeben. Der Lizenzgeber kann die Bedingungen der kostenlosen Lizenz, einschließlich der Testphase, jederzeit ändern, einschließlich der vollständigen Kündigung der kostenlosen Lizenz. Während der Lizenznehmer die kostenlose Lizenz in der regulären Produktion verwenden kann, erkennt der Lizenznehmer an, dass das Recht des Lizenzgebers, das kostenlose Lizenzprogramm zu ändern oder sogar zu beenden, bedeutet, dass die Nutzung des Lizenznehmers zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt möglicherweise nicht mehr für die kostenlose Lizenz qualifiziert ist. Wenn der Lizenzgeber eine Änderung an der kostenlosen Lizenz vornimmt, fallen alle Gebühren und Kosten für die Nutzung der Software nur für den Zeitraum nach dem Datum an, an dem der Lizenzgeber die Änderung vornimmt und diese Änderung veröffentlicht.
Zur Klarstellung: Für den Fall, dass der Lizenznehmer die Software über den Testzeitraum hinaus für irgendwelche Zwecke weiter nutzt, behält sich der Lizenzgeber das Recht vor, dem Lizenznehmer eine Gebühr in Rechnung zu stellen. Der Lizenznehmer ist verpflichtet, die Rechnung des Lizenzgebers innerhalb von dreißig (30) Tagen anzunehmen und zu bezahlen, basierend auf der nutzbaren Kapazität und dem geltenden Listenpreis von Scality.

Licensee shall be responsible for the Fees (at Licensor’s standard rates, if none are set forth in an Order) for added usable storage capacity from the date of such addition regardless of whether an Order has been placed or not by the Licensee or by an Authorized reseller of Licensor. Licensor will “true up” accordingly the license Fees which are due on that basis and will invoice the Licensee as necessary. If a given storage device containing the Software that is licensed on a Hardware License basis is decommissioned and replaced by a new device Licensee would be required to purchase a new Hardware License for the new device.

A Party may disclose Confidential Information to the limited extent required (a) in order to comply with the order of a court or other governmental body, or as otherwise necessary to comply with applicable law, provided that the Party making the disclosure pursuant to the order shall first have given written notice to the other Party and made a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order or otherwise maintain the confidentiality of the information to be disclosed; or (b) to establish a Party’s rights under those Artesca License and support Terms & Conditions and applicable Orders, including to make such court filings as it may be required to do.

15. INDEMNITY
In Bezug auf gewerbliche Lizenzen wird der Lizenzgeber den Lizenznehmer gegen alle Kosten und angemessenen Ausgaben (einschließlich angemessener Anwaltsgebühren), Schäden und Verbindlichkeiten schadlos halten und verteidigen, die einem Dritten aus Ansprüchen eines Dritten zuerkannt werden, wonach die vom Lizenzgeber gelieferte Software je nach Anwendbarkeit ein zum Zeitpunkt des Inkrafttretens der jeweiligen Bestellung erteiltes US- oder französisches Patent oder Urheberrechte oder Geschäftsgeheimnisse gemäß den geltenden Gesetzen einer Rechtsordnung in den Vereinigten Staaten oder in Frankreich verletzt oder missbraucht. Ungeachtet des Vorstehenden übernimmt der Lizenzgeber keine Verpflichtung oder Haftung, sofern die angebliche Verletzung aus (1) der Kombination, Bedienung oder Verwendung der Software mit Produkten, Dienstleistungen, Informationen, Materialien, Technologien, Geschäftsmethoden oder -prozessen resultiert, die nicht vom Lizenzgeber bereitgestellt oder in der Softwaredokumentation angegeben sind; (2) Änderungen an der Software, die nicht vom Lizenzgeber vorgenommen wurden; (3) der Nichtverwendung von vom Lizenzgeber bereitgestellten Software-Updates; (4) dem Missbrauch der Software oder einer Verwendung der Software, die nicht in der Softwaredokumentation angegeben ist; oder (5) Verstoß gegen die hierin enthaltenen Vertraulichkeitsbestimmungen (Umstände gemäß den vorstehenden Klauseln (1), (2), (3), (4) und (5), zusammen „Freistellungspflichten des Lizenznehmers“). Bei Auftreten eines Anspruchs, für den der Lizenzgeber eine Freistellung schuldet oder schulden könnte, oder falls der Lizenzgeber der Ansicht ist, dass ein solcher Anspruch wahrscheinlich ist, kann der Lizenzgeber nach eigenem Ermessen (i) die Software angemessen ändern, sodass sie keine Rechte mehr verletzt, oder sie durch funktional gleichwertige Software oder Dienste ersetzen; (ii) eine Lizenz für die geltenden geistigen Eigentumsrechte Dritter erwerben; oder (iii) diese Artesca-Lizenz- und Supportbedingungen und geltenden Bestellungen nach schriftlicher Mitteilung an den Lizenznehmer kündigen und dem Lizenznehmer alle nicht genutzten im Voraus bezahlten Lizenzgebühren gemäß der dann aktuellen Bestelllaufzeit(en) zurückerstatten. Die in diesem Abschnitt dargelegten Verpflichtungen stellen die gesamte Haftung des Lizenzgebers und das einzige Rechtsmittel des Lizenznehmers bei tatsächlichen oder angeblichen Rechtsverletzungen oder Rechtsverstößen dar.
Der Lizenznehmer verpflichtet sich, den Lizenzgeber von allen Verlusten, Aufwendungen (einschließlich angemessener Anwaltskosten), Schäden und Verbindlichkeiten freizustellen und schadlos zu halten, die einem Dritten aus einem Anspruch eines Dritten zugesprochen werden, der aus den Freistellungspflichten des Lizenznehmers entsteht oder damit in Zusammenhang steht.
Jede Partei (als Entschädigungsempfänger) verpflichtet sich, der anderen Partei (als Entschädigungsgeber) (a) unverzüglich schriftliche Mitteilung über einen solchen Anspruch zu erteilen; (b) die alleinige Befugnis zur Kontrolle und Leitung der Verteidigung und/oder Beilegung eines solchen Anspruchs zu gewähren; und (c) auf Kosten des Entschädigungsgebers alle Informationen und Unterstützung zu gewähren, die im Zusammenhang mit einer solchen Verteidigung und/oder Beilegung in angemessener Weise angefordert werden können. Ungeachtet des Vorstehenden darf der Entschädigungsgeber keine Ansprüche Dritter beilegen, es sei denn, eine solche Beilegung entbindet den Entschädigungsempfänger vollständig und dauerhaft davon oder der Entschädigungsempfänger erteilt seine vorherige schriftliche Zustimmung zu einer solchen Beilegung. Der Entschädigungsempfänger kann sich auf eigene Kosten durch einen Rechtsanwalt seiner Wahl an einer solchen Verteidigung beteiligen. Zur Vermeidung von Missverständnissen: Der Lizenzgeber stimmt nicht zu und wird den Lizenznehmer in Bezug auf eine kostenlose Lizenz nicht entschädigen.

Licensee may not assign or otherwise transfer any right or obligation set forth in those Artesca License and support Terms & Conditions or any Order without Licensor’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld. Any purported assignment in violation of the preceding sentence will be void. Those Artesca License and support Terms & Conditions and all Orders will be binding upon the Parties’ respective successors and permitted assigns.

Licensor will provide the following levels of technical support to the Licensee. Technical support is only provided for the production instance (i.e. not lab, test, preview or other non in-production environments) of the Software.
- „Priorität 1“ bezeichnet einen Fehler, der dazu führt, dass Daten auf einem von der Software verwalteten Speichervolumen nicht verfügbar sind. „Nicht verfügbar“ bedeutet dabei, dass die Daten auf Anfrage nicht zurückgegeben werden und dieser Zustand der Nichtverfügbarkeit ausschließlich auf den Fehler in der Software zurückzuführen ist.
„Priorität 2“ bedeutet, dass trotz der Verfügbarkeit von Daten auf einem von der Software verwalteten Speichervolumen die Software in einer Weise fehlerhaft funktioniert, die die Leistung der Software oder die Verfügbarkeit wesentlicher, von der Software bereitgestellter Funktionen ernsthaft beeinträchtigt.
„Priorität 3“ bedeutet alle anderen Fehler (einschließlich, aber nicht beschränkt auf Verlust der Redundanz) - Business hours and business days are defined as “normal business hours” within the time zone of the Customer (e.g., 9am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday, with the exclusion of bank holidays in such time zone). “Response Time” means that Licensor gives Licensee an acknowledgment of receipt of the notice regarding the issue.
- This is the period of time that Licensor targets to either have an Error Correction or a Workaround available to Licensee. Licensor does not guarantee an actual Error Correction or a Workaround in this time frame and provides no credits or other rights to damages or claims for Licensee under these SUPPORT Terms. Licensee may purchase Dedicated Care Service plans that provide levels of guaranteed performance and credits.
- Licensor’s telephone Priority 1 support numbers are currently available on Licensor’s website, Scality.com. If such numbers later are not made public, they will be provided to Licensee separately and may not be disclosed or shared without Licensor’s written permission.
25. CONDITIONS
Licensee is responsible for identifying all Software and hardware and the Software environment operating system as of the beginning of the Support services (Supported Platform). If the Supported Platform information has not been communicated to Licensor and is not kept up-to-date by Licensee in communications to Licensor during term of the Support services, Licensor will not be responsible for failure to provide SUPPORT services to the extent such failure arose from lack of up to-date Licensee contact information. Unless an Order specifically provides otherwise, or Licensor otherwise consents in writing, Licensee must use Licensor’s identified phone numbers and trouble ticket system (https://support.scality.com) for the technical support provisions to apply. Licensee shall cooperate with Licensor and provide Licensor access to Licensee personnel and resources as Licensor may reasonably require in order to provide technical support, which may include access through the Internet, VPN, remote desktop or other remote help technology, access to Licensee facilities, and/or access to, and assistance of, qualified Licensee personnel. Licensor is excused from any non-performance of SUPPORT services to the extent any such non-performance is attributable to Licensee’s failure to meet these conditions.
26. EXCEPTIONS
Licensor shall have no obligation to provide technical support with respect to any Errors resulting from (i) misuse of the Software; (ii) modification of the Software by Licensee or any third party, except as expressly permitted in writing by Licensor; (iii) any combination or integration of the Software with hardware, Software and/or technology not identified by Licensor in the Software documentation, the Order, or other agreement between the parties, as compatible with the Software; (iv) Third Party Software, monitoring, or other applications which have not been certified for implementation by Licensor at the Licensee site; (v) continued support requests for issues where Licensor has provided an Update or Upgrade which has not been implemented by the Licensee; (vi) implementation of the Software on platforms other than Supported Platforms. Licensor is not required to provide technical support to the extent the provision thereof might reasonably be expected to jeopardize or harm Licensor’s rights in any intellectual property, or reveal trade secrets or other proprietary information of Licensor not generally available to the public or to end users of the Software.
27. LICENSOR COMMUNICATIONS
Licensee shall identify a primary point of contact with Licensor to receive notices and information from Licensor regarding Support services and keep such contact information up to date. Licensee expressly agrees to receive Licensor notices electronically, and such notices will be deemed received when sent to the then last known contact address, unless Licensor receives a rejection notice from the Licensee’s server. Licensor may establish one or more forms of communication channels for Licensee to receive such notices.
