3. Grant of License and Limitations

3.1. Scope of License

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and upon Licensee's full payment of the applicable fees, Highsoft grants Licensee the right to use the Licensed Software strictly within the scope of the granted License type, and to receive services and Releases included in Highcharts Advantage as described below.

The License, which shall be registered in Licensee's name, shall commence on Delivery Date and be effective until terminated in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

When entering into this Agreement, Licensee must choose and state:

the Software products to be included in the license (Highcharts Core is mandatory);
one or more of the License types described in section 4, and;
the number of authorized Developers to be included in the License, and;
which Web Application(s) and/or SaaS Application(s) the Licensed Software will be used in, if purchasing a SaaS License or SaaS+ License as further described in sections 4.2-4.3;
which Licensee Product(s) the Licensed Software will be used in, if purchasing an OEM License as further described in section 4.4;
the number of Customer Installations, with or without developer rights, to be included in the License, if purchasing OEM License(s) as further described in section 4.4;
Any Affiliates to be included in the License.

The information listed in i)-vii) shall be stated in the License Statement.

All Optional Dependencies and Official Integrations and Add-ons are made available by Highsoft as an additional free-of-charge service, irrespective of the chosen Software product and License type, and shall not be deemed part of the Licensed Software.

Each License type grants Licensee a specific set of usage rights to Licensed Software, as described respectively in section 4.1 to 4.4 below. The offered license types described in section 4.1 (Internal License),

4.2 (SaaS License) and 4.3 (SaaS+ License) are complementary in the sense that SaaS License and SaaS+ License each includes a gradual broadened scope and more extensive usage rights than the Internal License,

e.g. the SaaS License consumes and includes more extensive rights than the Internal License. For the avoidance of doubt, an OEM License does not include any of the rights covered by a Internal License, a SaaS License or a SaaS+ License, unless such rights are added in accordance with section 4.4.3 below through a customization of the OEM License.

Depending on the purchased License type(s), sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and/or 4.4 below shall apply. The License type(s) chosen by Licensee shall be stated in Appendix A and in the License Statement.

Upon request, Highsoft may provide advice on which License type will be suitable for Licensee as this will mainly depend on Licensee’s use case. In such case, Highsoft will use its best effort to suggest a suitable License type based on the information provided by Licensee. Licensee shall bear the risk for the correctness and completeness of the information provided, and Highsoft provides no guarantees, express or implied, as to the suitability of the chosen License type(s) and hereby disclaims any and all liability related to the choice made by Licensee.

3.2. General Limitations to the License

3.2.1. Number of Developers

Each License granted by Highsoft under this Agreement comes with a defined (limited) number of authorized Developers. Licensee acknowledges, accepts, and undertakes to ensure that the actual number of Developers

at any time, whether employees or subcontractors of Licensee, shall not exceed the total number of Developers stated in License Statement. Any breach of this restriction shall be considered a material breach of the Agreement.

3.2.2. Usage by Affiliates

The License does not extend to Licensee’s Affiliates at the commencement of this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed between the Parties by way of express identification of this extended right in the License Statement, and subject to Licensee’s payment of the additional Affiliate Fee.

Licensee may at any time and subject to an additional Affiliate Fee purchase a right for its Affiliates to use the Licensed Software within the scope of the purchased License(s) and the number of Developers and Customer Installations defined therein (if applicable). Any such subsequent extension of the License to also cover Licensee’s Affiliates must, in order to be valid, be agreed in writing between the Parties. If Licensee wishes to purchase such an Affiliate extension, Licensee shall send to Highsoft a written notice, containing (a) the number of Affiliates, and (b) the following information for each of the Affiliates that Licensee wishes to include in the purchased License(s):

Company name
Company registration no.
Nationality
Address
Contact information
Contact person

Highsoft will thereafter update the License Statement, which will state the applicable Affiliates included in the License.

3.2.3. Access to new Releases

Subject to restrictions and limitations applicable to the purchased License type, a purchase of a License grants Licensee the right to use the applicable Release of the Software at the time of purchase. In order to gain access to new Releases, Licensee must remain enrolled in the Highcharts Advantage plan as defined in section 5 below. Upon purchase of a License, Licensee will be automatically enrolled in the Highcharts Advantage plan, commencing on Delivery Date, and the first twelve (12) months of Licensee’s enrollment in the Highcharts Advantage plan shall be included in the License Fee at no additional cost.

Licensee undertakes not to make use of any Software in other or newer versions than such Release(s) of the Licensed Software which Licensee is entitled to use pursuant to a valid enrollment in the Highcharts Advantage plan. Any breach of this restriction shall be considered a material breach of the Agreement.

A License granted under this Agreement is perpetual and not subject to renewal. The perpetual nature of the License is strictly limited to Release(s) of the Software to which Licensee has lawfully gained access and usage rights during a valid enrollment in the Highcharts Advantage plan. Notwithstanding its (otherwise)

perpetual nature, such License shall nevertheless expire if the Agreement is lawfully terminated by Highsoft due to Licensee’s material breach, in accordance with section 13.3.

3.2.4. Access to Source Code

Licensee may obtain Licensed Software source code by downloading the source code from the Highsoft Website, make own edits, and keep its own repositories with the modified source code.

Licensee shall not modify, delete or obscure any notices of proprietary rights or any Software identification or restrictions on or in Software found in the license-header of the code files.

3.2.5. Usage of Software in competing products

Licensee undertakes not to use Software as part of any offerings comprising functionality that is substantially similar to that of Software, during the term of this Agreement, and for a period of three (3) years after its termination, however occasioned. Nothing in this Agreement shall, however, be construed to preclude Licensee from using, marketing, licensing and/or selling software which is developed by Licensee on a fully independent basis, even if such software has the same or similar functionality as Software, provided always that such activities do not infringe or jeopardize Highsoft’s intellectual property rights or are in breach of other related statutory or non-statutory rules of law.

3.3. Identification of Licensee applications or products and optional purchase of License to future applications or products

Licensed Software may only be incorporated into such SaaS Applications, Web Applications or Licensee Products as expressly identified and approved by Highsoft in the License Statement, and the names of such applications or products (as applicable) shall be provided by Licensee upon entering into this Agreement, in accordance with section 3.1. The Parties may agree in writing that the names of the SaaS Applications, Web Applications or Licensee Products (as applicable) shall be provided by Licensee to Highsoft after the Delivery Date, i.e. if the applications or products are still unnamed at the time of entering into this Agreement. In such case, the number of SaaS Applications, Web Applications or Licensee Products (as applicable) shall be listed in Appendix A and the License Statement, and the names of the SaaS Applications, Web Applications or Licensee Products (as applicable) shall be provided by Licensee to Highsoft after the Delivery Date, upon which the License Statement will be updated. Licensee is not authorized to use Licensed Software in any SaaS Applications, Web Applications or Licensee Products not identified in the License Statement, i.e. after notice has been provided to Highsoft in accordance with this paragraph.

Licensee may also choose to purchase a SaaS License, SaaS+ License or OEM License for use in future SaaS Applications, Web Applications or Licensee Products. In such case, Licensee must, upon purchase of the License, provide to Highsoft the number of SaaS Applications, Web Applications and/or Licensee Products (as applicable) to be included in the License, which will be listed as unnamed products in the License Statement.

When Licensee wishes to utilize the purchased License for the optional future applications or products, Licensee shall give notice to Highsoft of this and state the names of the applications and/or products as well

as any changes (if applicable) in the scope of the purchased License required by Licensee before incorporation of the Licensed Software into the applications or products, upon which the License Statement shall be updated accordingly. For the avoidance of doubt, the requirement that Licensed Software may only be incorporated into such SaaS Applications, Web applications or Licensee Products as expressly identified and approved by Highsoft in the License Statement, shall also apply for such optional future applications or products, and the Licensee is not authorized to incorporate the Licensed Software into such applications or products before Licensee has notified Highsoft in accordance with this paragraph and the License Statement has been adjusted accordingly.

While the non-reusable nature of SaaS, SaaS+ and OEM Licenses does not authorize Licensee to change or replace a SaaS Application, Web Application or Licensee Product with another application or product under the same License, this shall not be deemed to preclude Licensee from changing the name of a SaaS Application, Web Application or Licensee product included in a License, and to request that the License Statement is adjusted accordingly.

4. License types and usage rights included

4.1. Internal License

Through an Internal License, Highsoft grants Licensee a non-exclusive, perpetual (for applicable Releases), non-sublicensable, worldwide right to install, reproduce, use and further develop Licensed Software as such:

on any number of public or private websites (including subdomains and intranet sites) for generation of static content, and;
on any Internal Applications

An Internal License authorizes Licensee to use the Licensed Software for internal purposes only and extends to Licensee’s employees and contractors, but not to its clients or other Third Parties. An Internal License does not include any right for Licensee to use the Licensed Software in a SaaS Application, Web Application or a Licensee Product, nor does it authorized Licensee to perform Customer Installations.

The condition that the right to use the Licensed Software under an Internal License is limited to generation of static content only, means that the data set in the content provided by Licensee on websites must be the same (identical) for all users, and that such websites shall not generate individually tailored content adapted to any user’s personal data. For the avoidance of doubt, this does not prevent the use of the Licensed Software under an Internal License to create interactive content but requires that the parameters of the interaction of such content is the same for all users.

4.2. SaaS License

Through a SaaS License, Highsoft grants Licensee such rights that are covered by an Internal License with the addition of a non-exclusive, perpetual (for applicable Releases), non-reusable, worldwide right to install, reproduce, use and further develop Licensed Software as an integral part of either:

one (1) SaaS Application, or;
one (1) Web Application,

Licensed Software may be incorporated solely into a SaaS Application or a Web Application that has been expressly identified and approved by Highsoft in the License Statement. Licensee is allowed to make changes or further developments to the specified SaaS Application or Web Application. The non-reusable character of the SaaS License means that Licensee is not allowed to change or replace the SaaS Application or Web Application with a separate SaaS Application or Web Application under the same License.

A SaaS License does not authorize Licensee to perform Customer Installations, and any such Customer Installations distributed by a Licensee holding only a SaaS License shall therefore be deemed invalid and shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement.

Except for the authorized use of the Licensed Software in either one (1) SaaS Application or one (1) Web Application as specified in the License Statement, Licensees only holding a SaaS License is under no circumstances authorized to transfer, rent, lease, lend, sell, copy, redistribute, or sublicense any Licensed 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.

4.3. SaaS+ License

Through a SaaS+ License, Highsoft grants Licensee such rights that are covered by an Internal License with the addition of a non-exclusive, perpetual (for applicable Releases), non-reusable, worldwide right to install, reproduce, use and further develop Licensed Software in either:

Up to five (5) independent SaaS Applications, or;
Up to five (5) independent Web Applications, or;
Up to five (5) independent SaaS Applications and Web Applications as long as the total number of applications does not exceed five (5).

A SaaS+ License does not authorize Licensee to perform Customer Installations, and any such Customer Installations performed by a Licensee holding only a SaaS+ License shall therefore be deemed unauthorized and invalid and shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement.

Except for the authorized use of the Licensed Software in accordance with letter a., b. or c. in this section 4.3 and as specified in the License Statement, Licensees only holding a SaaS+ License are under no circumstances authorized to transfer, rent, lease, lend, sell, copy, redistribute, or sublicense any Licensed Software, in itself or together with other software, or in any other way make Licensed Software available to any Third Party. Any attempt to do so shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement.

4.4. OEM License

4.4.1. Grants under the OEM License

Through an OEM License, Highsoft grants Licensee a non-exclusive, perpetual (for applicable Releases), non-reusable, worldwide right to install, reproduce, use, sublicense 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 the right for Licensee’s customers to work with the API and/or source code of the Licensed Software (“Developer Rights”), dependent on Licensee’s choice as specified in License Statement.

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

4.4.2. Limitations to the OEM License

Licensee acknowledges, accepts, and undertakes to ensure that the actual number of Licensee Products and Customer Installations, with or without Developer Rights, shall not at any time exceed the total number of Licensee Products and Customer Installations selected by Licensee upon purchase of the License and specified in the License Statement.

Licensed Software may only be incorporated into such Licensee Products as expressly identified and approved by Highsoft in the License Statement.

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

4.4.3. Optional addition of Websites, Internal Applications, SaaS Application(s) and/or Web Application(s) to the OEM License

Licensee may, subject to an additional fee, choose to customize the OEM License by adding the usage rights granted under the Internal License, SaaS License or SaaS+ License. By doing so, depending on the chosen additions to the OEM License, Licensee will be authorized to use the Licensed Software as such on any websites (public or private) and Internal Applications, to incorporate Licensed Software into the number of SaaS Application and/or Web Application as specified by Licensee and approved by Highsoft in the License Statement.
