The Order Document will specify the Jive licensed software product(s) (“Software”) that Customer is licensing, the number of authorized individual active users (“Users”), if applicable, and all other necessary information, including whether the Software being licensed is the “Private Edition” (which is designed for use solely within Customer’s organization) or “Public Edition” (which is designed for use primarily by Users who are not employees or independent contractors of Customer.

Customer’s initial and subsequent purchases of licenses shall be for a minimum of twenty-five (25) Users. All Order Documents are incorporated herein by reference. Following Jive’s acceptance of each Order Document and Customer’s payment of any initial fees (as described in Section 12.0 below) due under such Order Document, Jive will make the Software available to Customer for download using a password protected account on Jive’s website.
2.0 Software, License Grants and Restrictions.
2.1 License Grants. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and during the applicable license term, Jive grants to Customer a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable license, without sublicense rights, to (a) unless otherwise expressly set forth within the Order Document, install a single instance of the Software (in executable format) on one (1) production environment and to permit Users to use the Software in connection with the creation and maintenance of a single Virtual Community (as defined below), (b) if permitted by Jive in its sole discretion, install and use the portions of the Software made available in source code format for internal testing purposes and to create modifications (“Customer Modification”) to the Software solely for purposes of developing bug fixes, customizations, or additional features pertaining to the Software (and no other product or service), and (c) use and make a reasonable number of copies of any descriptions, instructions, or other documentation made available in connection with the Software, if any (“Documentation”). The rights granted to Users in this Section 2.1 are limited to the number of authorized Users set forth in the Order Document. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Virtual Community” is an online virtual community of Users that (i) contains a collective, shared repository for user, group data, and search functionality and (ii) permits access to the underlying database by only one unique instance of the Software. The Software is deemed accepted upon Customer’s receipt. Jive takes no responsibility for and makes no guarantees or warranties with respect to any Customer Modifications or the Software’s interoperability with such Customer Modifications. Customer grants to Jive and its licensees a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicenseable license under Customer’s intellectual property rights to use and otherwise exploit all Customer Modifications. The Software may contain or provide access to (following updates or upgrades) certain optional functionality or services, and while Customer is under no obligation to utilize such optional functionality or services, if Customer elects to enable such optional functionality or services then Customer may be required to agree to certain additional restrictions and/or pay additional license fees. The term of each license to the Software purchased by Customer will commence on the date that Customer first receives access to the Software and will continue for the period set forth on the Order Document. Upon expiration, the license term will automatically renew for successive terms of one (1) year each at the then current fees unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then current term. The license term for subsequently purchased licenses will be pro-rated so that all pre-existing and newly acquired licenses are coterminous.
2.2 License Restrictions. Except as otherwise expressly permitted under this Agreement, Customer agrees not to: (a) reverse engineer or otherwise attempt to discover the source code of or trade secrets embodied in the Software or any portion thereof; (b) distribute, transfer, grant sublicenses to, or otherwise make available the Software or Customer Modifications (or any portion thereof) to third parties, including, but not limited to, making such Software or Customer Modifications available (i) through resellers or other distributors, or (ii) as an application service provider, service bureau, or rental source; (c) embed or incorporate in any manner the Software or Customer Modifications (or any element thereof) into other applications of Customer or third parties; (d) create modifications to or derivative works of the Software; (e) reproduce the Software except that Customer may make up to two archival copies of the Software solely for backup purposes; (f) attempt or permit any third party to attempt to modify, alter, or circumvent the license control and protection mechanisms within the Software; (g) use or transmit the Software in violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation, including any export/import laws, (h) in any way access, use, or copy any portion of the Software code (including the logic and/or architecture thereof and any trade secrets included therein) to directly or indirectly develop, promote, distribute, sell or support any product or service that is competitive with the Software or (i) remove, obscure or alter any copyright notices or any name, trademark, service mark, hyperlink or other designation of Jive displayed on any display screen within the Software (“Jive Marks”). Customer shall not permit any third party to perform any of the foregoing actions and shall be responsible for all damages and liabilities incurred as a result of such actions. The Software is a “commercial item,” as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (OCT 1995), and more specifically is “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation,” as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (SEPT 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (JUNE 1995), the Software is provided to U.S. Government End Users (i) only as a commercial end item and (ii) with only those rights as are granted to all other end users pursuant to the terms and conditions herein.
2.3 Bankruptcy. All licenses granted pursuant to this Agreement are, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, deemed to be licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving Jive, Customer, as licensee of such rights, will retain and fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, which will apply notwithstanding conflict of law principles.
3.0 Support and Maintenance. Software support and maintenance services (“Support Services”) may be ordered at the “Standard” or “Premium” level. Pricing for such Support Services will be set forth on the Order Document; provided, however, that Standard Support Services shall be provided in connection with each subscription license for no additional cost. The terms of Standard and Premium Support Services can be found on Jive’s website along with additional support-related terms which are incorporated herein by reference.
4.0 Publicity. During the Term of this Agreement, Customer hereby agrees that Jive shall have the right, but not the obligation, to include Customer’s name and logo as a customer who uses the Software on the Jive website and in other materials promoting the Software.
5.0 Proprietary Rights. Jive will retain all ownership rights in and to the Jive Marks, the Software (including any optional functionality), the Documentation, all updates and upgrades provided as part of Support Services and other derivative works of the Software and/or Documentation that are provided by Jive, and all intellectual property rights incorporated into or related to the foregoing. Customer acknowledges that the goodwill associated with the Jive Marks belongs exclusively to Jive and, upon request, Customer will modify or cease its use of any Jive Marks. All rights not expressly licensed by Jive under this Agreement are reserved.
6.0 Warranties and Disclaimer.
6.1 Other Warranties. Each of the parties represents and warrants that it has all necessary corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement. To Jive Software’s knowledge, the use by Customer of the Software (exclusive of any third party or open source materials included therein) when and as provided under this Agreement does not misappropriate or infringe any U.S. copyrights or U.S. trade secrets of any third party.
6.2 Disclaimer. The express warranties in Section 6.1 are the exclusive warranties offered by Jive and all other warranties, including, without limitation, the warranties of fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, quiet enjoyment, title, merchantability and those that arise from any course of dealing or course of performance are hereby disclaimed. Jive does not warrant that Customer’s use the Software will be uninterrupted or error-free, that errors will be corrected or that it will be free of viruses or other harmful components. All open source software or freeware included with the Software is provided “as is” and without warranty of any kind.
7.0 Indemnification. Each party will indemnify, defend, and hold the other harmless from and against any and all liabilities, damages, losses, claims, costs, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of or resulting from any violation of such parties representations and warranties set forth in Section 6.2 above. In the event of any third party action, suit, proceeding or investigation for which indemnification is sought (the “Proceeding”), the other party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party, provided that any failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability or obligation which it may have to any indemnified person except to the extent of any material prejudice to the indemnifying party resulting from such failure. If any such Proceeding is brought against an indemnified person, the indemnifying party will be entitled to assume and control the defense thereof. Each indemnified person will be obligated to cooperate reasonably with the indemnifying party, at the expense of the indemnifying party, in connection with such defense and the compromise or settlement of any such Proceeding. The foregoing indemnification shall not apply to the extent that any action by the indemnified party gives rise to or otherwise enhances any such claim.
8.0 Limitations on Liability. To the extent permitted by law, in no event shall Jive be liable to Customer, users or to any third party in connection with this Agreement, including the Software, Support Services and intellectual property provided hereunder, whether under theory of contract, tort or otherwise, for (A) any indirect, incidental, punitive, consequential, or special damages (including any damage to business reputation, lost profits or lost data), whether foreseeable or not and whether Jive is advised of the possibility of such damages or (b) any amounts in excess of the Fees actually paid to Jive by Customer under this Agreement as of the date of that such liability first arises.
9.0 Confidentiality. The Software and all trade secret information incorporated therein or derived, directly or indirectly, therefrom are confidential information of Jive. Customer shall keep in confidence and trust and not disclose or disseminate, or permit any employee, agent or other party working under Customer’s direction to disclose or disseminate, the substance of any such confidential information of Jive. The commitments in this Agreement will not impose any obligations on Customer with respect to any portion of the received information which, as evidenced by independent documentation: (a) is now generally known or available or which hereafter, through no act or failure to act on Customer’s part, becomes generally known or available; or (b) is rightfully known to Customer at the time of receiving such information. Customer acknowledges that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for unauthorized disclosure or use of Jive’s confidential information and that Jive may seek, without waiving any other rights or remedies, such injunctive or equitable relief as may be deemed proper by a court of competent jurisdiction.
10.0 Term, Termination and Effect. This Agreement shall continue in effect until terminated as set forth herein. The applicable license term for each license purchased will be as set forth in the applicable Order Document. This Agreement may be terminated by either party if the other party materially breaches this Agreement and does not cure the breach within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice thereof from the non-breaching party (except that such cure period shall be five (5) days for breaches of Sections 2 or 11). Additionally, a particular Order Document may be terminated by Jive in the event that Customer fails to pay applicable fees when due. Upon any termination of this Agreement, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which the parties may have, (a) all rights licensed and obligations required hereunder shall immediately cease; provided that Sections 2.2, 5.0, 7.0 though 10.0 and 12.0 shall survive termination, (b) Customer will promptly delete and destroy all instances of the Software in its possession or control, and (c) Customer shall pay to Jive any outstanding fees that have accrued prior to the date of termination.
11.0 Fees and Payment. Subject to the terms and conditions below, all fees for the Software licenses and/or Support Services will be set forth on the applicable Order Document. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties, Customer will pay all undisputed fees owed within thirty (30) days after Jive’s issuance of an invoice pertaining thereto. Payments will be sent to the address included on the invoice. All amounts payable shall be in the currency of the United States and specifically exclude (and Customer is responsible for) any and all applicable sales, use and other taxes, (other than taxes based on Jive’s income). Each party is responsible for its own expenses under this Agreement.
12.0 Miscellaneous. The parties are independent contractors with respect to each other, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as creating an employer-employee relationship, a partnership, agency relationship or a joint venture between the parties. Each party will be excused from any delay or failure in performance hereunder, other than the payment of money, caused by reason of any occurrence or contingency beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, earthquake, labor disputes and strikes, riots, war and governmental requirements. The obligations and rights of the party so excused will be extended on a day-to-day basis for the period of time equal to that of the underlying cause of the delay. This Agreement controls the actions of all party representatives, officers, agents, employees and associated individuals. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding on the parties, and all successors to the foregoing. Customer will not assign, transfer or delegate its rights or obligations under this Agreement (in whole or in part) without Jive’s prior written consent. Any attempted assignment, transfer or delegation in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void. All modifications to or waivers of any terms of this Agreement must be in a writing that is signed by the parties hereto and expressly references this Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, without regard to Oregon conflict of laws rules. The exclusive venue and jurisdiction for any and all disputes, claims and controversies arising from or relating to this Agreement shall be the state or federal courts located in Multnomah County, Oregon. Each party waives any objection (on the grounds of lack of jurisdiction, forum non conveniens or otherwise) to the exercise of such jurisdiction over it by any such courts. In the event that any provision of this Agreement conflicts with governing law or if any provision is held to be null, void or otherwise ineffective or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, (a) such provision shall be deemed to be restated to reflect as nearly as possible the original intentions of the parties in accordance with applicable law, and (b) the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any prior, concurrent or subsequent breach of the same or any other provisions hereof, and no waiver shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. This Agreement includes any applicable Order Documents. Collectively the foregoing constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements or communications, including, without limitation, any quotations or proposals submitted by Jive. The terms on any purchase order or similar document submitted by Customer to Jive will have no effect and are hereby rejected. All notices, consents and approvals under this Agreement must be delivered in writing by courier, by facsimile, or by certified or registered mail, (postage prepaid and return receipt requested) to the other party at its main corporate headquarters and sent to the attention of such party’s Chief Executive Officer.
