FIVECRM AND THE LICENSEE AGREE THAT THESE FIVECRM LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (“THE TERMS”) SHALL GOVERN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS TO ANY FIVECRM PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PROVIDED OR TO BE PROVIDED TO THE LICENSEE AS SET FORTH IN A DOCUMENT INCORPORATING THESE TERMS (AN “ORDERING DOCUMENT”). AS TO ANY PARTICULAR ORDERING DOCUMENT, THE ORDERING DOCUMENT, THE SERVICES DEFINITIONS AND SERVICE-SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS, AND THESE TERMS TOGETHER CONSTITUTE THE AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES AND ARE REFERRED TO COLLECTIVELY HEREIN AS THE “AGREEMENT.” IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE ORDERING DOCUMENT AND THESE TERMS, THESE TERMS SHALL PREVAIL UNLESS THE ORDERING DOCUMENT EXPRESSLY PROVIDES THAT IT IS MODIFYING THESE TERMS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH AGREEMENT.

“Licensee” means the party to whom FiveCRM is to provide products or services pursuant to the Ordering Document (whether identified as “licensee”, “customer”, “client” or similar designation in the Ordering Document). If “Licensee” includes more than one legal person, the obligations imposed upon each shall be joint and several. The act of, notice from or to, or signature of any one or more of the persons included within “Licensee” shall be binding on all such persons with respect to all rights and obligations under this Agreement, including but not limited to any renewal, extension, termination, or modification of this Agreement.

The Services may include information (the “Licensed Materials”), access to and/or use of software or other technology (the “FiveCRM Technology”), or other services including premium support. Specific Services may be defined by and are subject to the Services Definitions and Service-Specific Terms and Conditions included with the Ordering Document.

The Services shall be provided through Company’s servers and/or third party’s external servers or cloud-based servers, to be determined by the Company, in its sole discretion. The Company shall provide support services in connection with the Services in accordance with the service level set forth in section 13.12 below.

1.3 Ownership. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that, as between Licensee and FiveCRM, the Licensed Materials, the FiveCRM Technology, and any related documentation (including, without limitation, the content, layout, functions, design, appearance, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, patents, and other intellectual property comprising the Licensed Materials or FiveCRM Technology) are the property of FiveCRM, whether or not they are trademarked, copyrighted, or patented. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement does not transfer any ownership, right, title, or interest in the Licensed Materials or FiveCRM Technology, nor any part thereof, except the limited license provided hereunder, and Licensee expressly disclaims and waives any and all claims to any ownership interest in any such information or materials. This includes, without limitation, any Licensed Materials that Licensee downloads, prints, saves, or incorporates into other materials. Licensee further acknowledges and agrees that the Licensed Materials, in whole or in part, are unique, special, and valuable. Subject to the limited rights expressly granted hereunder, FiveCRM, its affiliates and/or its licensors reserve all right, title, and interest in and to the Licensed Materials and FiveCRM Technology, including all related intellectual property rights. No rights are granted to Licensee hereunder other than as expressly set forth herein. All other trademarks, registered trademarks, product names, and company names or logos mentioned in or on the FiveCRM Technology are the property of their respective owners. Reference to any products, services, processes, or other information, by trade name, trademark, manufacturer, supplier, or otherwise does not constitute or imply endorsement, sponsorship, or recommendation thereof by FiveCRM nor any endorsement, sponsorship, or recommendation of FiveCRM by any such person or entity.

1.4 Third Party Applications. “Third Party Applications” means computer software programs and other technology that are provided or made available to Licensee or Authorized Users by third parties, including those with which the FiveCRM Technology may interoperate, including, for example, Licensee’s VOIP, marketing automation software, or sales enablement software, if any. FiveCRM may make available certain “Integration Tools”, which consist of FiveCRM Technology designed to allow Licensee to use FiveCRM Technology and the Licensed Materials in such a way as to interoperate with one or more Third Party Applications. FiveCRM is not responsible for and does not endorse any Third Party Applications or websites linked to by FiveCRM Technology.

1.5 Support. FiveCRM will provide reasonable assistance and ongoing support to assist Licensee and Authorized Users in accessing the Software.

2. AUTHORIZED USE OF LICENSED MATERIALS AND FIVECRM TECHNOLOGY, RESTRICTIONS

2.1 Authorized Users. Licensee shall be entitled to designate persons as users of the Services (“Authorized Users”) on an unlimited amount basis. FiveCRM operates on concurrent licenses. The maximum number of users able to sign on to the Service at any time will be limited to the number of licenses the Customer has subscribed to. Each Authorized User will be provided a unique username and password. Such usernames and passwords may not be shared and may not under any circumstances be used by anyone who is not an Authorized User. If any Authorized User’s login credentials are disclosed to any person who is not an Authorized User but who would satisfy the qualification requirements of Section 2.2 hereof, such disclosure shall constitute Licensee’s subscription as of the time of such disclosure to the number of additional Authorized Users equal to the number of persons to whom such credentials were disclosed. If Licensee designates additional licenses beyond the number subscribed, such designation may be deemed by FiveCRM as Licensee’s subscription to such additional number of Authorized Users. In the event of such subscription, FiveCRM may charge Licensee a corresponding additional Subscription Fee equal to the prevailing per-Authorized User rate multiplied by the period from the date of designation until the end of the then-current Term. Licensee shall be responsible for compliance with the terms of this Agreement by all Authorized Users, including, without limitation, the restrictions on use of the software set forth herein. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Authorized Users must provide FiveCRM with certain identifying information, including their name and a business email address, and that Authorized Users may be required to accept an end-user license agreement agreeing to FiveCRM’s privacy policy and representing that they are authorized to access the Services on Licensee’s behalf.

2.2 Qualification of Authorized Users. Licensee shall not designate any person as an Authorized User unless such person is: (a) a natural person and (b) an employee of Licensee. Licensee may designate a non-employee (i.e., an independent contractor) as an Authorized User only with FiveCRM’s prior permission and provided Licensee takes reasonable steps to ensure such non-employee uses the Services only as permitted under this Agreement. If the employment of any Authorized User that was in effect as of the date such person was designated as an Authorized User terminates, such person’s authorization to access the Services shall be revoked automatically without any further action by FiveCRM. In the event of a termination as described in the previous sentence, Licensee shall promptly notify FiveCRM and take all reasonable steps to ensure that such person ceases accessing the Services. Licensee may reassign Authorized User designations in good faith, subject to the foregoing qualification requirements.

2.3. Limited License; Permitted Uses. Customer is hereby granted with a limited, non-exclusive, non- sublicensable, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Application and/or any other Services provided to Customer by Company strictly in accordance with this Agreement, the Privacy Policy and/or any other agreement between the Customer and the Company, and solely for internal, non- commercial purposes.

2.3.7 engage in any activity that interferes with or disrupts any of the Services (or the servers and networks which are connected to the Services). Customer may not access the Application and/or any other Services for the purpose of bringing an intellectual property infringement claim against Company or for the purpose of creating a product or service which may be, directly or indirectly, competitive with the Application and/or any other Services. Customer will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in Customer use of and access to Company's Application and/or any other Services.

Licensee shall not override or circumvent, or attempt to override or circumvent, any security feature, control, or use limits of the FiveCRM Technology.
