1. Products and Services

1.1. This agreement applies to Licensed Product(s), which means the BacNet4J software product(s) that Licensee has acquired.

1.2. Additional terms and conditions (beyond those stated here and in any attached supplements) may apply to certain Licensed Products. When ordering these Licensed Products, you will be given an opportunity to review the additional terms and conditions that must be accepted for you to receive the Licensed Products. If the additional terms and conditions conflict in any way with the terms and conditions stated here, the additional terms and conditions will prevail.

2. Licenses

2.1. Your License Rights: When you purchase a license to a Licensed Product, upon its delivery you will have a nonexclusive right to:

  • Integrate the licensed software into your own software;

  • Distribute an unlimited number of copies of your own software with the licensed software as part of it;

  • Make proprietary modifications to the licensed software;

2.2. Conditions: Your right to use the Licensed Product is conditioned upon your timely payment of the full amount of Fees due for the Licensed Product and your compliance with the terms of this agreement, including the following restrictions.

2.3. Restrictions: You may not (and may not allow anyone else to):

  • copy or use any Licensed Product (or Documentation) in any manner that is not expressly allowed by the license rights stated above;

  • disclose the results of any benchmarking of a Licensed Product (whether or not the results were obtained with assistance from Radix IoT) to any third party; or

  • use a Licensed Product in the development of any product if the failure or malfunction of that product could reasonably be expected to result in personal injury, death, or catastrophic loss.

  • Copyrights to the Licensed Product are held by the copyright holders indicated in the copyright notices in the corresponding source files.

2.4. Transfers and Assignments: You may not transfer or assign your license rights to any other person in any manner (by assignment, operation of law or otherwise) unless you have obtained written consent from Radix IoT. If you attempt to transfer or assign any of your license rights without Radix IoT’s consent, the transfer or assignment will be ineffective, null, and void (and you will be in material breach of this agreement).

3. Confidentiality

3.1. Confidentiality Obligations: Each party (you and Radix IoT) agrees to abide by the following confidentiality obligations with respect to the other party’s Confidential Information:

  • do not disclose it to any third party unless (a) the other party has given its specific and express prior written approval, (b) the disclosure is expressly allowed under this agreement, or (c) the disclosure is necessary to comply with a valid court order or subpoena;

  • do not use it for any reason other than to exercise its rights and perform its obligation under this agreement; and

  • protect it from unauthorized dissemination in the same manner as that party protects its own Confidential Information, and in any event with reasonable precautions (which include limiting access to employees and contractors on a “need to know” basis).

3.2. Mandatory Disclosures: If you believe you must disclose Radix IoT’s Confidential Information in order to comply with a valid court order or subpoena, you must promptly notify Radix IoT and cooperate with Radix IoT if Radix IoT chooses to contest the disclosure requirement, seek confidential treatment of the information to be disclosed, or to limit the nature or scope of the information to be disclosed. Radix IoT will do the same if it believes it must disclose your Confidential Information in these circumstances.

3.3. Additional Obligations: In addition to your general obligations of confidentiality regarding the Licensed Products and Documentation, you must take the following steps to help prevent any unauthorized access to or use of the same:

  • you must ensure that each End User who is your independent contractor (not your employee) has access to and uses the Licensed Products and Documentation only while working on your physical premises; and

  • you must monitor each End User’s use of the Licensed Products to ensure that the End User abides by the terms of this agreement.

4. Term and Termination

This License is effective until terminated. You may terminate this License at any time by destroying all copies of Software including any documentation. This License will terminate immediately without notice from Radix IoT if you fail to comply with any provision of this License. Upon termination, you must destroy all copies of Software.

Your only rights in the Licensed Products, Documentation, and Design Techniques are the rights expressly granted in this Agreement; all other rights are reserved by Radix IoT. Radix IoT’s licensors are third-party beneficiaries of, and thus may enforce against you, the license restrictions and confidentiality obligations in this agreement with respect to their intellectual property and proprietary information. You will own all Intellectual Property Rights in the Designs you create using the Licensed Products, Documentation, and Design Techniques, subject to Radix IoT’s (and its licensors’) ownership of the Intellectual Property Rights in the Licensed Products, and Documentation.

6.2. Limitation of Liability: For each product you license or purchase from Radix IoT under this agreement, Radix IoT’s total, cumulative liability to you is limited to the amount of Fees you paid for that product (regardless of the nature of the liability or the nature or number of claims giving rise to the liability). Radix IoT will not, under any circumstances or any theory of liability, be liable to you for any lost profits, loss of data, or consequential, incidental, or special damages arising from this agreement or the products and services provided to you under this agreement. The limitations of liability in this section are a fundamental part of this agreement and enable Radix IoT to provide products to you at lower prices. These limitations of liability are intended to apply even if an exclusive remedy is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

6.3. Export Controls: Software, including technical data, is subject to U.S. export control laws, including the U.S. Export Administration Act and its associated regulations, and may be subject to export or import regulations in other countries. Customer agrees to comply strictly with all such regulations and acknowledges that it has the responsibility to obtain licenses to export, re-export, or import Software.

6.4. Governing Law; Jurisdiction: This agreement is governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Texas, without regard to conflicts of laws principles.

6.9. Attorneys’ Fees: The prevailing party in any action to enforce this agreement will be entitled to recover costs and expenses including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

6.10. Remedies: Except where this agreement expressly provides exclusive remedies, all rights and remedies of either party (including termination rights) are cumulative. You agree that monetary damages alone would not be an adequate remedy, and therefore Radix IoT will be entitled to injunctive relief if you materially breach the license restrictions or confidentiality provisions in this agreement.

6.11. Force Majeure: Each party will be excused from performance of its obligations under this agreement, except payment obligations, to the extent that performance is rendered impossible by earthquake, fire, flood, governmental action, labor disruptions, supplier failures, or any other event or circumstance beyond that party’s reasonable control.
