Limited Use Software License Agreement
IMPORTANT - READ CAREFULLY
This Limited Use Software License Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal document between you ("Customer") and EnterpriseDB Corporation ("EnterpriseDB"). It is important that you read this document before using the EnterpriseDB-provided software ("Software"). By clicking the "I ACCEPT" button, or by installing, or otherwise using the Software, Customer agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the warranty disclaimers, limitations of liability and termination provisions below. Customer agrees that this Agreement is enforceable like any written agreement negotiated and signed by Customer. If Customer does not agree with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Customer is not licensed to use the Software, and Customer must destroy any downloaded copies of the Software in its possession or control. The Software provided under this Agreement may be: (i) generally available ("Generally Available") to the customers of EnterpriseDB, or (ii) limited availability ("Limited Availability") to qualified customers of EnterpriseDB, or (iii) pre-release ("Pre-Release") and provided as part of an alpha, beta or evaluation test program in which case the Software is not yet Generally Available. This agreement will not apply if Customer has: a) a valid, paid subscription that includes entitlement to use the Software as specified on the applicable order, and in that case, the terms of the subscription agreement executed between the parties will be applicable.
1. Scope of License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, EnterpriseDB grants to Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to install a single instance of the Software on no more than five (5) Servers. The Software may only be used solely for internal (non-commercial and non-production) evaluation purposes ("Authorized Use”). This license will remain in effect until this Agreement is terminated as set forth in Section 9. Use within the limitations of this agreement is permitted for training purchased from and delivered by EnterpriseDB or one of its authorized agents. "Server" is a single machine which processes data using one or more CPUs. If a machine includes server blades or virtual servers, each such server blade or virtual server is considered a separate Server. For Kubernetes environments a "server" is defined as a pod running Postgres.
2. License Restrictions. Customer agrees not to, or allow any third party to: (a) copy or use the Software in any manner except as expressly permitted in this Agreement; (b) transfer, sell, rent, lease, distribute, or sublicense the Software; (c) use the Software for providing time-sharing services, service bureau services or as part of a hosted environment or as an application services provider or software as a service offering; (d) reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile the Software; (e) alter or remove any proprietary notices in the Software; and (f) make available to any third party any analysis of the results of operation of the Software, including benchmarking results, without the prior written consent of EnterpriseDB. Customer may make one additional copy of the Software for backup or archival purposes provided that the Authorized Use is not exceeded. If Customer would like to change the level of Authorized Use, Customer will need to enter into the appropriate EnterpriseDB license and pay the applicable fees.
3. Ownership. EnterpriseDB and its licensors retain all right, title and interest in and to the Software and any modifications and enhancements to the Software and all upgrades, including all intellectual property rights that are not expressly granted in this Agreement. Customer may provide EnterpriseDB with feedback regarding the Software ("Feedback"), including bugs, errors and feature requests. EnterpriseDB owns all right, title and interest in and to all Feedback.
4. Open Source Programs. The Software may be distributed with third party open source software programs as described in the licenses directory of the Software. These open source programs are distributed under open source licenses and not this Agreement.
5. Verification. Customer will provide EnterpriseDB with documentation concerning its use of the Software within thirty (30) days after written request. In addition, upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice, EnterpriseDB or its designated agent may review Customer's records in order to verify Customer's compliance with this Agreement.
6. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. ENTERPRISEDB PROVIDES THE SOFTWARE TO CUSTOMER "AS IS". ENTERPRISEDB DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NONINFRINGEMENT, AND ALL WARRANTIES THAT MAY ARISE FROM COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WITH RESPECT TO PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE, CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE SOFTWARE CONTAINS UNTESTED AND EXPERIMENTAL SOFTWARE OF ENTERPRISEDB AND THAT THE TESTING AND QUALITY ASSURANCE OF THE SOFTWARE OR PARTS THEREOF HAVE NOT YET BEEN COMPLETED. ENTERPRISEDB. AND ITS SUPPLIERS DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE TECHNOLOGY WILL MEET CUSTOMER'S REQUIREMENTS, THAT THE OPERATION THEREOF WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED.

Notwithstanding any other clause in this Agreement, in no event will EnterpriseDB be liable for any special, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential damages (including, without limitation, any failure to realize savings or other benefits; any loss of use; or any claims made by or any payments made to any third person), any loss of revenue or profits, any loss and/or damage arising from or in connection with a virus, or any loss of data and/or damage arising there from or relating thereto, in each case arising from or in connection with this Agreement or the use or performance of any Software whether in an action based on contract, tort or any other legal theory, whether or not EnterpriseDB has been notified of the possibility thereof. Notwithstanding any other clause in this Agreement, in no event will EnterpriseDB's total aggregate liability for any damages arising from or in connection with this Agreement or the use or performance of any Software whether in actions based on contract, tort or any other legal theory, and whether or not EnterpriseDB has been notified of the possibility thereof, exceed twenty-five ($25.00). The foregoing limitations, exclusions and disclaimers are an allocation of the risk between the parties and will apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, even if any remedy fails in its essential purpose.

10.10 Confidentiality."Confidential Information" means the Software, the Feedback and all information in any form disclosed by EnterpriseDB to Customer that, due to its nature or the circumstances surrounding disclosure would be considered confidential by a reasonable person. Confidential Information does not include any information that is: (i) or becomes available to the general public due to no fault of Customer, (ii) in Customer's possession prior to the disclosure and under no obligation to hold such information in confidence, (iii) disclosed to Customer by a third party who is under no obligation to hold that information in confidence, (iv) is independently developed by Customer without use of Confidential Information, or (v) is approved for release or disclosure by written authorization of EnterpriseDB. Customer agrees to use Confidential Information solely for the purpose of evaluation and testing of the Software. Customer agrees (a) to hold the Confidential Information in confidence, (b) to protect and store it consistently with its own confidential information, but in no event to use less than a reasonable standard of care, and (c) not to copy, duplicate, disclose or deliver all or any portion of the Confidential Information to any third party (except as expressly permitted in this Agreement). Customer may share the Confidential Information only with those employees and consultants with a specific need to review the Confidential Information in the course of the evaluation and testing of the Software. Customer will have executed or shall execute appropriate written agreements with its employees and consultants sufficient to enable Customer to enforce all the provisions of this Agreement. Customer is liable for all acts and omissions of its employees and consultants to the extent that such act or omission would be a breach of this Agreement if it had been done by Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions, the Customer may use and disclose any information to the extent required by an order of any court or other governmental authority, but only after EnterpriseDB has been so notified and has had the opportunity, if possible, to obtain reasonable protection for such information in connection with such disclosure. If EnterpriseDB is not successful in precluding the requesting legal body from requiring the disclosure of the Confidential Information, the Customer will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which is legally required.
