If you have purchased a right to use Syskit Software, please read this agreement carefully. By clicking the “I agree to the terms and conditions of the end user license agreement” box, or by accessing, installing, registering, or using the Software, any updates, and documentation (collectively “Software”), you accept all the terms and conditions of this agreement. If you do not agree to the terms of this agreement, do not install, access or use the Software.
This EULA is a binding legal agreement between you (collectively, “you”, “your”, “end-user”, or “customer”) and Syskit UK Limited, including its affiliates, authorized resellers or agents acting on our behalf (collectively, “Syskit”, “us”, “we”, or “our”). IF YOU ARE ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU ARE AUTHORIZED TO DO SO ON BEHALF OF THAT PERSON OR ENTITY, AND A REFERENCE TO “YOU” IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE A REFERENCE TO THAT PERSON OR ENTITY.
Notice for changes. We may modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement from time to time. Notice of any modifications may be given to you by email or other correspondence, via the Software, or on our website. Together with notice, we will specify the effective date of the modifications.
Effective Date of Changes. If we make modifications to this Agreement, the modifications will take effect upon your next Order or renewal or extension of your existing Order. In some cases – for example, to address compliance with Laws, or as necessary for new features – we may give notice that such modifications shall become effective during your then-current Order Term. In any event, for the absence of doubt, this Agreement, as modified, shall supersede and replace all prior agreements between us. If the effective date of such modifications is during your then-current Order Term and you object to the modifications, then (as your exclusive remedy) you may terminate your affected Orders upon notice to us, and we shall provide a refund pro rata for the balance of the Order Term. To exercise this right, you must provide us with notice of your objection and termination within thirty (30) days of us providing notice of the modifications. For this reason, we strongly encourage you to revisit this page periodically to review any changes to these terms.

You must lawfully acquire and order the Software from Syskit, or its authorized resellers, to receive a valid license to use the Software. Installations are only permitted via our website and associated customer portals. Otherwise, you do not have the right to use the Software. License rights are not related to Software media.

2.1. License Grant
Subject to your continuous compliance with this Agreement and payment of all applicable license fees, you are granted a limited, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable, non-sub-licensable, non-transferable, and non-exclusive license to use the object code versions of the Software (a) within the scope of the license type, (b) for the permitted number of purchased licenses as specified in the documentation, and (c) in a manner consistent with the terms of this agreement and applicable documentation, including all additional terms in SECTION 5.

Some Software licenses may be limited for a specific period of time (i.e., subscription based licenses) as defined in SECTION 6. In this case, you have obtained the right to use and access the licensed materials for a specific limited period of time (i.e., the subscription period). The license validity date will be outlined on an official quote that will be delivered to the Customer. At the end of this period, your license will expire automatically, unless you have renewed your subscription.

2.3. Notice
Syskit’s Limitations of Liability and Disclaimers as well as the provisions of the section titled “General Provisions” shall survive expiration or termination of this agreement.

3 License Types
3.1 Beta Software
If the Software you are accessing with this agreement is a pre-commercial release or a beta version, then you understand that the Software is a pre-release, non-commercial version (collectively, “beta version”) and does not represent a final product of Syskit. The Software may contain bugs, errors, and other problems and should not be used in production environments. You understand that Syskit is not obligated to release the product, and all pre-release or beta software is provided on an “as is” basis and Syskit disclaims any and all warranties or liability to the customer of any kind.

7 Important Customer Obligations
7.1 Accuracy of Customer Data
The customer will provide accurate, current and complete information when using any online services of Syskit or its affiliates. The customer agrees to update its information if it changes. It is the responsibility of the end-user to ensure that all customer data reflects the latest and most accurate information.

8 Payments and Fees
The methods and conditions of payment to be made to Syskit or its affiliates (authorized resellers or ecommerce providers) are as follows:
8.1 Payments to Authorized Reseller
If the end-user has ordered products from Syskit’s authorized reseller, then the sections of this agreement referring to orders with Syskit, or payments to Syskit, do not apply for those products. Instead, the end-user agrees to pay our authorized reseller the fees separately agreed with the authorized reseller. No Syskit authorized reseller may change the terms of this agreement, but they may impose additional fees for the price of the Software. No promises, warranties or agreements by Syskit’s authorized resellers are binding on Syskit.
8.2 Prices
Prices charged by Syskit or its authorized resellers shall not vary from the prices quoted by Syskit or its authorized resellers in its quote, with the exception of (a) any price adjustments authorized or (b) any request for quote validity extension. All quotes that are expired upon purchase are subject to then-current pricing, unless otherwise agreed upon as mentioned above.
Pricing is provided in the currency or currencies in which payment is made to Syskit and will be made in the currency or currencies specified in the quote. Pricing does not include sales or use taxes, which will be added to your order if applicable. Promotional pricing is subject to eligibility and co-terminus pricing may change based on your actual order date.
8.3. Payment Terms
The customer must pay all fees by the due date specified at the time of order or otherwise within 30 days of Syskit’s invoice or notice.
8.3.1 Late Payments
Late payments are subject to interest charges of 1.0% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less, plus all collection expenses. The customer will continue to be charged until the balance is paid in full.
If the customer is late with payment, the Software will also cease to operate and/or will be frozen until the debt is settled.
Syskit reserves the right to initiate enforcement proceedings in case of outstanding debts.
8.3.2 Termination for Non-Payment
In the event of any termination resulting from the customer’s failure to pay any applicable fees, without prejudice to any other remedy for any breach of this agreement, by written notice of default sent to the customer, Syskit may terminate this agreement in whole or in part. The customer will continue to be responsible for any license’s fees, and period of usage, even if termination for non-payment occurs.
8.4 Taxes/Exemptions/VAT
Payments made by the customer under this agreement exclude any taxes or duties payable in respect of the products in the jurisdiction where the payment is either made or received. To the extent that any such taxes or duties are payable by Syskit, the customer must pay to Syskit the amount of such taxes or duties in addition to any fees owed under this agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the customer may have obtained an exemption from relevant taxes or duties at the time such taxes or duties are levied or assessed. In that case, the customer will have the right to provide Syskit with any such exemption information, and Syskit will use reasonable efforts to provide such invoicing documents as may enable the customer to obtain a refund or credit for the amount so paid from any relevant revenue authority if such a refund or credit is available.
