BigAnimal Terms - 2022.06.01

Printable version

These BigAnimal Terms (the “Agreement”) are between you, the customer (“Customer”) and EnterpriseDB Corporation (“EDB”), under which Customer is procuring use of BigAnimal (defined below). 

Certain provisions of this Agreement may not be applicable to Customer, depending on the offering that Customer has purchased from EDB. The applicable software, cloud service, services, support, unit of measure, pricing, cost, and length of subscription will be identified on a sales order binding upon each party.  A subscription to BigAnimal allows the Customer to use BigAnimal and to receive Support as stated in this Agreement for a limited period of time identified on the Order. Once the sales order is made, Customer is legally bound to such Order.  All of Customer purchases will be governed solely and exclusively by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable Order.

EDB may offer BigAnimal pre-release versions or features that may be in preview, testing, or beta phase, for the purpose of evaluating performance, identifying defects and obtaining feedback from Customers (“Beta Services”). Customer may try Beta Services at no charge. Customer may accept or decline any such Beta Services in Customer’s sole discretion. Beta Services will be clearly designated as beta, early access, preview, non-production, evaluation or by a similar description. Beta Services are for evaluation purposes and not for production use, are not considered “services” under this Agreement, are not supported, and may be subject to additional terms. Unless otherwise stated, any Beta Services trial period will expire upon the date that a version of the Beta Services becomes generally available. Customer is not required to use any Beta Services, and EDB has no obligation to release a final version of any Beta Service offering.
This Agreement is the parties’ entire agreement on this subject and merges and supersedes all related prior and contemporaneous agreements. By agreeing to these terms, Customer represents and warrants that Customer has the authority to accept this Agreement, and Customer also agrees to be bound by its terms. This Agreement applies to all Orders entered into under this Agreement. Capitalized terms have the meanings given under “Definitions”.

X.    Pricing and Payment

Customer’s pricing and payment terms for a given Order are set forth and governed by the 
Customer’s applicable Order through a third party or EDB.  

a.    Third party. If Customer is purchasing BigAnimal through a third-party, all payment terms are governed by the third-party provider.

Unless agreed otherwise on an Order form or statement of work, Customer will pay all invoices within thirty (30) days from the date of invoice. Customer is legally bound to such Order irrespective of whether or not Customer chooses to issue a purchase order. Any pre-printed terms and conditions on a purchase order sent by Customer shall not be binding on EDB. Our fulfillment of a purchase order does not mean that EDB accept any of the pre-printed terms and conditions on that purchase order and EDB hereby reject any such terms. If Customer does not pay invoices when due, EDB may charge interest at a rate up to one percent (1%) per month on the unpaid balance from the date that it was late. If Customer fails to make any payment to EDB when due, EDB may cancel or suspend work on any pending Order form, statement of work or suspend use of the subscription. EDB are not responsible for any taxes related to orders received other than taxes on our income.  Therefore, Customer will also pay an amount equal to any taxes arising from or relating to this Agreement, including without limitation, sales, service, use or value-added taxes. If Customer is required under any applicable law or regulation to withhold or deduct any portion of the payments due to EDB, then the sum payable to EDB will be increased by the amount necessary so that EDB receives an amount equal to the sum specified on the Order form or statement of work. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, fees are non-refundable upon payment.

c.    Non-payment. If Customer has not properly paid EDB or a third-party through whom Customer has purchased BigAnimal, Customer must not use BigAnimal.  EDB reserves the right to revoke Customer’s access to BigAnimal if full payment is not received.
