FEES; PAYMENT TERMS; TAXES.

prohibited by applicable law, payment obligations are non-cancelable, and fees are not refundable.

not specified in the Product Listing or otherwise agreed by the parties, the following payment terms
will apply: (i) all monetary amounts are denominated in United States Dollars (USD); (ii) all fees will

exemption certificate, direct pay permit, or other such government-approved documentation to Inductive
Automation. Upon Your reasonable request, Inductive Automation shall provide you with a duly executed
and properly completed IRS Form W-9. If You are required by Law to make any income tax deduction or to

promptly effect payment thereof to the applicable tax authorities, You will promptly provide Inductive
Automation with official tax receipts or other evidence issued by the applicable tax authorities, and
You will increase the sum payable to Inductive Automation as necessary so that after such deduction or
withholding has been made (including such deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums
payable under this section), Inductive Automation receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deduction or withholding been made. For the avoidance of doubt, You are responsible
for, and will indemnify Inductive Automation for, any Taxes, including withholding Taxes, resulting from
making licenses available to users in geographic regions outside the country in which You are located.

legal advisors) (collectively, “Representatives”), (ii) use and copy Confidential Information only as

those herein, and (b) will be liable for compliance with this Section 8 by each of its Representatives.

use thereof would not infringe without such combination, (III) Your failure to use the latest release or
version of the Product (including any corrections, patches or enhancements) where such use would have

licensors and assigns against any losses, claims, damages, fines, and costs (including attorney’s fees
and expenses) relating in any way to Your Responsible Claims; provided, that Inductive Automation
reserves the right, in its sole discretion and at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and
control of any claims (and without limiting Your indemnification obligations with respect to such
claims), and You agree to reasonably cooperate as requested by Inductive Automation in the defense of
any claims.
- Force Majeure. Neither party will be in default nor liable for any delay or failure to comply with this
Agreement due to a natural disaster, pandemic, war or act of terrorism, act of government, or other
circumstance beyond the reasonable control of the affected party (each a “Force Majeure Event”) for the
duration of the Force Majeure Event; provided, that such party promptly notifies the other party of the
occurrence of the Force Majeure Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Force Majeure Event does not
permit You to delay or fail to comply with Your payment obligations under this Agreement unless the
Force Majeure Event results in the inability of the banking system to process payments.
- Changes to this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that Inductive Automation may modify this Agreement
from time to time. Typically, when Inductive Automation makes modifications to the main body of this
Agreement, the modifications will take effect at the next renewal of Your Subscription and will
automatically apply as of the renewal date unless You elect not to renew in accordance with this
Agreement. In some cases (e.g., to address compliance with Laws, or as necessary for new features),
Inductive Automation may specify that such modifications become effective during the then-current term
of Your Subscription. If the effective date of such modifications is during the then-current term of
Your Subscription and you object to the modifications, then (as Your exclusive remedy) You may terminate
Your affected Subscription(s) upon notice to Inductive Automation, and Inductive Automation will refund
to You any fees You have prepaid for use of the affected Product for the terminated portion of the
applicable term of Your Subscription. To exercise this right, You must provide Inductive Automation with
written notice of Your objection and termination within 30 days of Inductive Automation providing notice
of the modifications through the Licensed Materials, Product Listing or Inductive Automation’s website.
For the avoidance of doubt, any Subscription is subject to the version of this Agreement in effect at
the time of the Subscription.
- Notices. To be effective, notice under this Agreement must be given in writing. Each party consents to
receiving electronic communications and notifications from the other party in connection with this
Agreement. Each party agrees that it may receive notices from the other party regarding this Agreement:
(i) by email to the email address designated by such party as a notice address for the Standard
Contract; (b) by personal delivery; (c) by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested; or
(d) by nationally recognized courier service. Notice will be deemed given upon written verification of
receipt.
- Assignment. You may not assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without Inductive Automation’s
written consent. Inductive Automation may freely assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, in
Inductive Automation’s sole discretion. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
each party’s permitted successors and assigns.
- Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, there are no third party
beneficiaries under this Agreement.
- Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the
Laws of the State of California, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law, and any dispute,
controversy or claim arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement will be brought
exclusively in the state or federal courts of competent jurisdiction sitting in Sacramento, California.
The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this
Agreement. Each party consents to the personal jurisdiction, venue and convenience of such courts.
- Independent Status of the Parties. The parties are independent contractors. This Agreement does not
create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary or employment relationship between the
parties. Each party will be solely responsible for payment of all compensation owed to its employees, as
well as all employment-related taxes.
- License Rights Applicable to the U.S. Government. The Licensed Materials are commercial products that
were developed exclusively at private expense. If the Licensed Materials are acquired directly or
indirectly for use by the U.S. Government, then the parties agree that the Licensed Materials are
considered ‘Commercial Items’ and ‘Commercial Computer Software’ or ‘Computer Software Documentation’,
as defined in 48 C.F.R. §2.101 and 48 C.F.R. §252.227-7014(a)(1) and (a)(5), as applicable. The Licensed
Materials may only be used under the terms and conditions of this Agreement as required by 48 C.F.R.
§12.212 and 48 C.F.R. §227.7202. The U.S. Government will only have the rights set forth in this
Agreement, which supersedes any conflicting terms or conditions in any government order document, except
for provisions which are contrary to applicable mandatory federal Laws. Inductive Automation will not be
required to obtain a security clearance or otherwise be involved in accessing U.S. Government classified
information.
