Licensee may seek advice on the suitable License type directly from Highsoft. In such case, Highsoft will use to its best effort to suggest a suitable License type based on the information provided by Licensee.

3.2. High-Five License

A High-Five License is only available for start-up companies at the pre-revenue and/or pre-financing stage.

Only companies fulfilling the abovementioned conditions are eligible to use Software based on the High-Five License. Highsoft may at its sole discretion decide whether such conditions are fulfilled or not.

Through a High-Five License, Highsoft grants Licensee a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-reusable, worldwide right to install, reproduce, use and further develop the Software as described in subsection 3.3 ‘Developer License’ with the following exceptions:

The License is limited to a maximum of two (2) Developers,

in one (1) Software as a Service (SaaS);  

controlled or owned by Licensee.

The actual number of Developers at any time must not exceed the total number of Developers stated in License Statement.

A Developer License does not authorize Licensee to perform Customer Installations. All Customer Installations made by a Licensee holding only a Developer License shall therefore be deemed unauthorized and invalid.

The License includes, by default, 5 Content Creators per Developer based on the number of Developers stated in the License Statement, but another number of Content Creators may be agreed upon by the Parties. In order to be valid, such agreement must be made in writing, and the agreed number of Content Creators specified in the License Statement.

Nether Licensee nor its Affiliates are under any circumstances authorized to transfer, rent, lease, lend, sell, copy, redistribute, or sublicense any Software, in itself or together with other software, or in any other way make Software available to any Third Party. Any attempt to do so shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement.  

3.4. OEM License

Through an OEM License, Highsoft grants Licensee a non-exclusive, perpetual (for Applicable Release(s)), sublicensable, non-reusable, worldwide right to install, reproduce, use and further develop Licensed Software as an integral part of a Licensee Product, provided that such Licensee Product be supplied to Third Party through a Customer Installation, with or without Developer Rights and, dependent on Licensee’s choice as specified in License Statement.

The authorization to sublicense Licensed Software under this section 3.3 first paragraph only applies when and as long as such Software lawfully is incorporated with Licensee Product supplied to Third Party in accordance with this Agreement.

Licensed Software may only be incorporated into such Licensee Products as specified in the License Statement.

Licensee shall be prohibited from reselling any Licensee Product, and from granting its customers permission to use the Software, in any manner that contradicts the terms and restrictions of this Agreement or the License(s) granted hereunder.

Highsoft acknowledges and agrees that (i) Licensee retains all rights, title and interest in and to any Licensee Product, and Highsoft does not acquire any right, title, or interest in or to such product; and (ii) any integration of Licensed Software with Licensee Product shall not affect or diminish Licensee’s rights, title, and interest in and to such Licensee Product.

3.5. Advantage – initial period and Renewal

By purchasing a license under this Agreement, Licensee will automatically be enrolled in Highsoft’s Advantage plan, with respect to the purchased license, for the first twelve (12) months after Delivery Date. Licensee may thereafter successively renew its Advantage-subscription with one or more 12 months periods, subject to payment of the applicable Advantage Fee according to section 4 below.

Under a valid and effective Advantage plan, which runs for twelve (12) months at the time, Licensee shall be entitled to receive:

All new Releases of the Licensed Software released during the applicable twelve (12) months period,

The guidance and advice from Highsoft will not include general usage of the Third-Party system, platform or actual coding work.

Any bug and error fixing, malfunctioning of Licensed Software is to be delivered outside the personalized technical support hours.

During each applicable twelve (12) months period, Highsoft will provide support for all Releases of Licensed Software released within that time period.

Advantage does not cover issues arising in connection with implementation of Licensed Software in/to Licensee’s own products.

Advantage as set forth in this section, shall not extend to any Third Parties to which Licensee distributes Licensee Products containing Licensed Software or any part thereof. Support to any Licensee customers shall hence be Licensee’s full and sole responsibility. Highsoft may, at its sole discretion, at any time choose to discontinue the supply of new Releases.

4. License and Advantage Fee, Subsequent Advantage Fee(s)

Licensee shall upon purchase pay the agreed License Fee for the purchase of Licensed Software and the initial 12 months enrollment in Advantage. For each subsequent 12 months renewal of the subscription to Advantage, Licensee shall pay the Advantage Fee applicable at the time of renewal.

In case of payment delay, Highsoft may claim late payment interest.

Each Party shall be fully and solely responsible for payment of any bank charges and/or local taxes imposed by the law of that Party's home country related to the purchase of ordered Items.

Licensee may use Licensee’s own descriptions of the functionality provided by Licensed Software for the purposes of marketing Licensee Products insofar as the descriptions are not misleading.
