1. Customer is required to enter into an agreement with Microsoft so as to be able to access the Microsoft Azure Marketplace.  That agreement is solely between Customer and Microsoft.   

2.  Software License.  During the Term, Supplier grants to Customer a sixty (60) day (unless otherwise mutually agreed in a separate writing), royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use  the database as a service offering (“Offering”) and associated documentation (“Documentation”) provided by EnterpriseDB on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace.  Such use is limited to evaluation of the Offering and for non-production purposes.  Customer agrees not to remove, alter or obscure any copyright and restricted right notices contained in the Offering or Documentation.   Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer will not: use the Offering for production work loads, nor shall it be used to store sensitive or confidential information, including personal data as defined by applicable data privacy laws; copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any Offering, or attempt to do so; install or use any third-party software or technology in any way that would subject EDB’s intellectual property or technology to any other license terms; work around any technical limitations in the Offering or restrictions in Documentation; use an Offering for any unlawful purpose; distribute, sublicense, rent, lease, or lend any Offerings, in whole or in part, or use them to offer hosting services to a third party.

3. Term.  The Term will commence upon the Effective Date and will end upon the first of the following to occur:  (a)       following the Effective Date; (b) Customer ceases its use of the Offering; (c) either party gives written notice to the other party of termination following any material breach or default under this Agreement by such party that is not cured by such party within ten (10) business days after receipt of notice of such breach or default; or (d) such other date as may be agreed upon by the parties.  Upon any termination of the Term pursuant to (a), (b), (c) or (d) above and upon request by EDB, Customer cease use of the Offering and will destroy information or materials relating to the Offering.

4. Ownership.  No title to or ownership of any of the Offering or Documentation or any associated intellectual property rights therein is transferred to Customer under this Agreement.  During the Term Customer will not remove any notice of EDB’s title or interest in the Offering or Documentation and will keep the Offering free from all liens, security interests and encumbrances.  To the extent EDB provides any services hereunder, and except as otherwise specifically agreed otherwise in a mutual written agreement, EDB shall own, and Customer hereby assigns to EDB, all rights, title and interest in and to all intellectual property rights therein.   

5. Confidential Information. Customer and EDB agree to maintain the confidentiality of any proprietary information received by the other party during, or prior to entering into, this Agreement that a party should know is confidential or proprietary based on the circumstances surrounding the disclosure, including, without limitation, non-public technical, financial and business information ("Confidential Information") during the term of this Agreement and for a period of five (5) years after the termination of this Agreement; provided that to the extent the Confidential Information constitutes a trade secret(s) under law, the parties agree to protect such information for so long as it qualifies as a trade secret under applicable law. This section will not apply to: (a) any information that was in the public domain, due to no fault of receiving party, at or subsequent to the time such Confidential Information was communicated to the receiving party by the other party, (b) was rightfully in the receiving party's possession free of any obligation of confidence at or subsequent to the time such Confidential Information was communicated by the other party, or (c) was developed by the receiving party or its employees, contractors or agents independently of and without reference to any Confidential Information. A disclosure of any Confidential Information in response to a valid order by a court or other governmental body or as otherwise required by law will not be considered to be a breach of this Agreement or a waiver of confidentiality for other purposes; provided, however, that the receiving party will provide prompt advance written notice thereof to the disclosing party to enable the disclosing party to seek a protective order or otherwise prevent such disclosure. The receiving party shall not use the Confidential Information of the other party for any purpose except as necessary to fulfill its obligations and exercise its rights under this Agreement. The receiving party will protect the secrecy of and avoid disclosure and unauthorized use of the disclosing party's Confidential Information to the same degree that it takes to protect its own confidential information and in no event less than reasonable care. The receiving party shall not make Confidential Information available to any of its employees or consultants except those that have agreed to obligations of confidentiality at least as restrictive as those set forth herein and have a "need to know" such Confidential Information in order to further the purpose contained herein. The receiving party is liable for all violations of this Section by its employees, agents and consultants. Each party agrees to notify the other party in writing promptly upon discovery of any unauthorized access, disclosure, or use of the Confidential Information. Each party acknowledges that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for unauthorized disclosure of any Confidential Information and that the other party may seek, without waiving any other rights or remedies and without posting any bond, injunctive or equitable relief.
