Reliable Softworks, LLC

End User License and Services Agreement

Read this End User License and Services Agreement (This “Terms and Conditions”) before installing or using the software as defined below.

By installing, or using, this software or otherwise expressing your agreement to the terms contained herein, you (as End User or if you are not the End User, as a representative/agent authorized to bind the End User) consent to be bound by this EULA. If you do not or cannot agree to the terms contained herein, then (A) Do not install, or use, the software and delete any and all copies of the software in your possession and (B) You may contact Reliable Sotworks, LLC(“RSW”) regarding license terms.

The parties to these Terms and Conditions are RSW and the customer (“END USER”) that originally purchases from RSW or an authorized RSW reseller (a “Reseller” and together with RSW, individually and collectively “RELIABLE”) (a) the subscription based license for use of the Software, and (b) the Hardware (as defined below) based upon a proposal offered and accepted by the END USER (the “Proposal” and together with the Terms and Conditions, this “Agreement”).

2.1 Subscription Based License Grant

In consideration of the monthly fees to be paid by END USER to RSW as described in the Proposal (each, a “Monthly Fee”), RSW grants END USER for the Term (as defined below), a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to use the Software in machine-readable form, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (the “License”).  “Software” means

  • (a) the computer software product of RSW as described in the Proposal and as delivered by RELIABLE to END USER hereunder,
  • (b) the related associated media, printed materials, and “online” or electronic documentation (collectively, the “Documentation”),
  • and (c) all updates, enhancements, and releases to any of the foregoing, actually delivered from time to time by RELIABLE to END USER pursuant to this Agreement.

The number of END USER’s individual authorized users of the Software shall be determined by the amount of the Monthly Fee to be paid by END USER.

2.2 Hardware

One copy of the Software is installed on a server as provided as part of the Hardware, and may be used only on the Hardware.  “Hardware” means one or more computer hardware components for use with the Software as described in the Proposal which END USER shall purchase from RELIABLE or such other third party as approved by RSW.

2.3 Third Party Software

END USER acknowledges that the operation of the Software requires the use of certain prerequisite third party software, including a Macintosh 10.4 version (or later) or Windows XP SP 4 version (or later) based operating system and the most current versions of FileMaker Server and FileMaker Pro, all as described in the Proposal (the “Third Party Software”).  While certain Third Party Software may be pre-loaded on certain Hardware, END USER is responsible for purchasing and maintaining its own licenses for all Third Party Software.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, RELIABLE acknowledges that the cost of any Third Party Software pre-loaded on certain Hardware is included in the base system price as described in the Proposal.  END USER agrees that END USER’s use of Third Party Software shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the third party software license agreement applicable to such Third Party Software (each, a “Third Party Software License”), and END USER agrees to comply with, and be bound by, said terms and conditions.

2.4 Installation Services

In consideration of the base system price to be paid by END USER to RSW as described in the Proposal, RELIABLE agrees to provide to END USER installation, implementation and initial training services for the Software and/or the Hardware, all as described in the Proposal  (collectively, the “Installation Services”).  The Customer acknowledges receipt from RSW of END USER’s preparation requirements for the Installation Services (the “END USER Requirements”).  END USER agrees to promptly notify RELIABLE if any of the END USER Requirements are not met before RELIABLE performs the Installation Services.  If RELIABLE performs any of the END USER Requirements, then END USER agrees to compensate RELIABLE on a time and materials basis at RELIABLE’s then current rates for RELIABLE’s performance of such END USER Requirements.

2.5 Support Services

In consideration of the Monthly Fees and provided that END USER is not in breach of this Agreement, RELIABLE agrees to provide to END USER during the Term those maintenance and support services for the Software as described in Exhibit 1 attached hereto (the “Support Services”).  Any and all updates and point releases to the Software delivered in connection with any Support Services shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  END USER acknowledges and agrees that the Support Services will be provided for RSW’s then current version of the Software.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Support Services do not apply to any Third Party Software.  Furthermore, END USER agrees that the Support Services do not include the servicing, replacement or repair of the Hardware.  END USER agrees to cooperate with RELIABLE to the extent reasonably necessary and required by RELIABLE in order for RELIABLE to perform the Support Services.  Such assistance will include, but will not be limited to, providing RELIABLE with access to END USER’s site(s), computers, equipment and necessary information and documentation in order to permit RELIABLE to accurately reproduce any problem reported.

2.6 Additional Services

From time to time after the Installation Services, END USER may request additional professional services from RELIABLE (e.g., additional training or specific modifications or enhancements of the Software that are not yet available in the most current version of the Software) (the “Additional Services” and together with the Installation Services and the Support Services, the “Services”).  RELIABLE, in RSW’s sole discretion, may agree to provide such Additional Services as mutually agreed upon by RSW and END USER and for such price as mutually agreed upon by RSW and END USER.

2.7 Automatic Payment of Monthly Fees

END USER hereby authorizes RSW, on each due date of a Monthly Fee, to either (a) automatically withdraw the amount of such Monthly Fee from END USER’s bank checking account or (b) automatically charge END USER’s credit card for the amount of such Monthly Fee based upon the bank or credit card information as provided by END USER to RSW from time to time (the “Payment Information”).  END USER agrees to provide to RSW true, current, accurate and complete Payment Information.  END USER agrees that RSW does not assume any responsibility for timeliness, deletion or missed delivery of payments of Monthly Fees.  END USER acknowledge and agrees that RSW may increase the Monthly Fees for any Renewal Term (as defined below) by providing notice to END USER at least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the expiration of the then current Term.

2.8 Travel and Other Expenses

In addition to the fees to be paid to RSW for providing Services, END USER shall also pay all of RELIABLE’s transportation, meals, lodging and other pre-approved out-of-pocket expenses incurred by RELIABLE in connection with the performance of the Services.

2.9 Subcontracting

RELIABLE shall at all times be entitled, and reserves the right, to subcontract a third party to perform all or any portion of the Services.  It is understood, however, that RELIABLE’s obligation to provide the Services shall not be diminished by its right to subcontract such Services.

(b) Hardware. Hardware is covered only by a warranty, if any, as may be provided by the manufacturer of such Hardware (each, “Manufacturer’s Warranty”). To the extent that RELIABLE is able to do so, RELIABLE will pass-through to END USER any applicable Manufacturer’s Warranty.
