5. CONFIDENTIALITY.
5.1. Confidential Information. From time to time, either Party (the “Disclosing Party”) may disclose or make
available to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”), whether orally or in physical form, confidential or
proprietary information of or in the possession of the Disclosing Party (including confidential or proprietary
information of a third party that is in the possession of the Disclosing Party) in connection with the
Agreement. The term “Confidential Information” means any and all information in any form that
Disclosing Party provides to Receiving Party in the course of the Agreement and that either (i) has been
marked as confidential; or (ii) is of such nature that a reasonable person would consider confidential
2
5.2. Confidentiality Obligations. Each Party or third party whose Confidential Information has been disclosed
retains ownership of its Confidential Information. Each Party agrees to (i) protect the Confidential
Information received from the Disclosing Party in the same manner as it protects the confidentiality of its
own proprietary and confidential materials but in no event with less than reasonable care; and (ii) use the
Confidential Information received from the Disclosing Party solely for the purpose of the Agreement. Upon
termination of the Agreement or upon written request submitted by the Disclosing Party, whichever comes
first, the Receiving Party shall return or destroy, at the Disclosing Party’s choice, all of the Disclosing
Party’s Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AVEVA shall not be required to return or
destroy any such Confidential Information if such return or destruction is impracticable or technically
infeasible. Except with respect to its Affiliates, employees, contractors, or agents who need to know
Confidential Information in order to support the performance of such Party’s obligations related to the
Agreement, and who are contractually bound by confidentiality obligations that are at least as protective
as those contained in the Agreement, neither Party shall, disclose to any person any Confidential
Information received from the Disclosing Party without the Disclosing Party’s prior written consent. The
Receiving Party will be responsible for any breach of this Section 5 (Confidentiality) by its Affiliates,
employees, contractors, and agents and any third party to whom it discloses Confidential Information in
accordance with this Section 5 (Confidentiality). For Confidential Information that does not constitute a
“trade secret” under applicable law, these confidentiality obligations will expire three (3) years after the
termination or expiration of the Agreement. For Confidential Information that constitutes a “trade secret”
under applicable law, these confidentiality obligations will continue until such information ceases to
constitute a “trade secret” under such applicable law. However, the Receiving Party may disclose
Confidential Information pursuant to an order of a court or governmental agency, provided, that, if
permitted by applicable law, the Receiving Party shall first notify the Disclosing Party of such order and
afford the Disclosing Party the opportunity to seek a protective order relating to such disclosure.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Customer authorizes AVEVA to
collect, use, disclose, and modify in perpetuity information or data (including, but not limited to, general
usage information and measurements) that is provided by Customer in connection with the use or receipt
of the Products (or generated or created in the course of AVEVA providing the Products) for the purposes
of developing, improving, optimizing, and delivering Products; provided, however, that any disclosure of
such data shall only include information or data that AVEVA develops or derives from such collected data
or information (but such disclosure will not include the actual underlying Confidential Information of
Customer).
5.3. Press Releases and Client List Reference. Neither Party shall issue any press release concerning the
other Party’s work without the other Party’s consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AVEVA may identify
Customer as a client of AVEVA and use Customer’s name and logo and release an announcement
regarding the award of the Agreement and AVEVA is hereby granted a license for the term of the
Agreement to use Customer’s name and logo for this purpose from time to time as needed. AVEVA may
generally describe the nature of the work in AVEVA’s promotional materials, presentations, case studies,
qualification statements, and proposals to current and prospective clients.
6.1. Customer Content. Customer is responsible for the Customer Content and entering it into the Products.
Customer has sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, and
appropriateness of Customer Content, and for obtaining all rights related to Customer Content required
in connection with the performance, receipt or use of the Products. Customer will collect and maintain
all personal data contained in the Customer Content in compliance with applicable data privacy and
protection laws.
6.2. Security. Customer will maintain reasonable security standards for the use of the Products by users.
Customer is solely responsible for determining the suitability of the Products for Customer’s business
processes and for complying with all applicable legal requirements regarding Customer Content and its
use of the Products. Customer will provide reasonable assistance required in connection with the
provision of the Products and the support by AVEVA. Customer acknowledges and agrees that
Customer’s reasonable assistance is a necessary precondition for AVEVA’s correct performance of its

its duties.
7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES.
EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THE
AGREEMENT, AVEVA AND ITS LICENSORS DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES,
REPRESENTATIONS, OR STATEMENTS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY

FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY WARRANTIES
IMPLIED BY LAW CANNOT BE VALIDLY WAIVED. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR
ADVICE GIVEN BY AVEVA, ITS DEALERS, DISTRIBUTORS OR AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES SHALL
CREATE A WARRANTY OR IN ANY WAY INCREASE THE SCOPE OF THE WARRANTIES SET

(B) LOSS OF BUSINESS, PROFITS, OR REVENUE, LOSS, CORRUPTION OR DESTRUCTION OF

9. INDEMNIFICATION.
9.1. Indemnification by AVEVA. AVEVA shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Customer against claims
brought against Customer by any third party alleging that Customer’s use of the Products in accordance
with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, constitutes an infringement of a patent or copyright, or
misappropriation of a trade secret of a third party AVEVA will pay damages finally awarded to the third
party (or the amount of any settlement AVEVA enters into) with respect to such claims. This obligation of
AVEVA shall not apply if the alleged infringement or misappropriation results from: (a) use of the Products
in conjunction or combination with any other software, services, or any product, data, item, or apparatus
that AVEVA did not provide to Customer (including any third-party services or Third-Party Products); (b)
anything Customer provides or designs including configurations, instructions, or specifications (including
any Products that were provided pursuant to Customer’s designs, drawings, or specifications); (c) a
modification of a Product other than with AVEVA’s prior written consent; (d) Customer’s failure to use the
latest release or version of a Product (including any corrections or enhancements) where such use would
have prevented the infringement or misappropriation claim; or (e) any use, storage, distribution,
reproduction, or maintenance not permitted by the Agreement. If AVEVA believes, in its reasonable
opinion, that a claim under this Section 9.1 could or is likely to be made, AVEVA may cease to offer or
deliver such Products without being in breach of the Agreement.
9.2. Infringement Remedies. In the event a claim under Section 9.1 is made and such Product is held to
infringe a third-party’s patent or copyright, or misappropriate a trade secret, then AVEVA may, at its sole
option and expense: (a) procure for Customer the right to continue using the Product under the terms of
the Agreement or (b) replace or modify the Product to be non-infringing without a material decrease in
functionality. If these options are not reasonably available, AVEVA or Customer may terminate the
Agreement upon written notice to the other and Customer shall immediately cease using or shall return
the infringing Product. The provisions of this Section 9.2 state the sole, exclusive, and entire liability of
AVEVA to Customer, and is Customer’s sole remedy, with respect to third-party claims covered by
Section 9.1.
9.3. Indemnification by Customer. Customer shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless AVEVA and its
Affiliates (and each of their licensors), and each of their respective officers, directors, contractors, agents,
and employees (“AVEVA Indemnitees”) against claims brought against AVEVA Indemnitees by any third
party arising from or related to: (a) any use of the Products by Customer in violation of the Agreement or
any applicable law or regulation; (b) any Customer Content; and (c) an allegation that any material
provided by Customer violates, infringes, or misappropriates the Intellectual Property Rights of a third
party. The foregoing shall apply regardless of whether such damage is caused by the conduct of
Customer and/or its named users or by the conduct of a third party using Customer’s access credentials.
9.4. Indemnification Requirements. The indemnification obligations under this Section 9 are conditioned on:
(a) the Party against whom a third-party claim is brought timely notifying the other Party in writing of any
such claim, provided however that a Party’s failure to provide or delay in providing such notice shall not
relieve a Party of its obligations under this Section 9 except to the extent such failure or delay prejudices
the defense; (b) the Party who is obligated to defend a claim having the right to fully control the defense
of such claim; (c) the Party against whom a third-party claim is brought reasonably cooperating in the
defense of such claim; and (d) Customer complying with AVEVA’s direction to cease any use of the
Products which in AVEVA’s reasonable opinion, is likely to constitute an infringement or misappropriation.

10.1. Term of GTCs. The term of these GTCs begins on the Effective Date and shall continue thereafter for
the duration of the term of any Transaction Document entered into between the Parties (“Term”).
10.2. Transaction Document Term. The initial term of each Transaction Document shall commence on the
effective date specified in the Transaction Document (the “TD Effective Date”) and continue thereafter
until: (a) the end of the term of the Transaction Document as specified in the Transaction Document; (b)
if specified in the Transaction Document, delivery of the Products in accordance with the Transaction
Document; or (c) earlier termination by either Party in accordance with this Section 10 (Term and
Termination) (the “TD Term”).
10.3. Termination for Material Breach. Either Party may terminate these GTCs or a Transaction Document for
cause if the other Party commits a material breach of the GTCs or Transaction Document (including,
without limitation, a delay in Customer’s payment of any money due under these GTCs or any Transaction
Document) and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days (or with respect to Customer’s payment
failure, within ten (10) days) of receipt of a notice of default from the non-defaulting Party. Termination
will not relieve Customer of its obligations specified in Section 10.5 and will not entitle Customer to a
refund of any license fees (or any applicable Software support fees) previously paid.
10.4. Termination for Financial Deterioration. Either Party may terminate these GTCs or a Transaction
Document immediately if the other Party files for bankruptcy, ceases or threatens to cease carrying on
business, becomes insolvent, or makes an appointment, assignment or novation for the benefit of
creditors.
10.5. Effect of Termination. If these GTCs are terminated prior to the completion of one (1) or more Transaction
Documents, then the Transaction Documents that are not terminated shall continue to be governed by
the GTCs for the remainder of the applicable TD Term. Upon termination of these GTCs or any
Transaction Document, Customer will cease using the applicable Software, will delete the Software,
including the license file(s), from its computer and will either return to AVEVA or destroy the Software,
including the license file(s), Documentation, packaging and all copies thereof. If Customer elects to
destroy the Software then Licensee will certify in writing to AVEVA the destruction of the Software.
Termination of this these GTCs or any Transaction Document and return or destruction of the Software
will not limit either party from pursuing other remedies available to it, including injunctive relief, nor will
such termination relieve Customer’s obligation to pay all fees and expenses that have accrued or are
otherwise owed by Customer under these GTCs or a Transaction Document, and/or any purchase order
from Customer that has been received and accepted by AVEVA.
11. INSURANCE.
For as long as any Transaction Document remains in effect, AVEVA will maintain, at its sole cost and
expense, comprehensive general liability and property damage insurance in an amount not less than $1
million in the aggregate. Additionally, AVEVA will maintain, at its sole cost and expense, workers’
compensation insurance in accordance with statutory requirements.
Third-Party Products. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by AVEVA, if Third-Party Products are supplied
by AVEVA to Customer, such Third-Party Products are provided on a “pass-through” basis only and are
subject to the terms and conditions of the third-party vendor, including but not limited to warranties,
licenses, indemnities, limitation of liability, prices and changes thereto.
13. MISCELLANEOUS.
13.1. Assignment. The Agreement shall extend to and be binding upon the Parties to the Agreement, their
successors, and assigns, provided, however, that neither Party shall assign or transfer the Agreement
without the other Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned. Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, AVEVA may assign or transfer the Agreement, in
whole or in part, without obtaining the consent of Customer, to a parent company or subsidiary or in
connection with the transfer or sale of its entire business or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or
in the event of a merger, divestiture, internal reorganization or consolidation with another company.
13.2. Independent Contractor. AVEVA is an independent contractor, and each Party agrees that no
partnership, joint venture, agency, fiduciary, or employment relationship exists between the Parties.
13.3. Force Majeure. Except for Customer’s payment obligations, neither Party shall be liable for delays caused
by conditions beyond their reasonable control, (“Force Majeure”), provided that notice thereof is given
to the other Party as soon as practicable. All such Force Majeure conditions preventing performance
shall entitle the Party hindered in the performance of its obligations under the Agreement to an extension
of the date of delivery of the Products by a period of time equal to the period of delay incurred as a result
of the Force Majeure or to any other period as the Parties may agree in writing.
13.4. Waiver. The waiver (whether express or implied) by either Party of a breach or default of any of the
provisions of the Agreement (including any Transaction Document) by the other Party shall not be
construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same or other provisions nor shall any delay or
omission on the part of either Party to exercise or avail itself of any right power or privilege that it has or
may have hereunder operate as a waiver of any breach or default by the other Party.
13.5. Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted under the Agreement will be in
writing and delivered by confirmed transmission, by courier or overnight delivery service with written
verification of receipt, or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and in
each instance, will be deemed given upon receipt. All such notices, approvals, consents and other
communications will be sent to the addresses provided in the Transaction Documents or to such other
address as may be specified in writing by either Party to the other in accordance with this Section 13.5.
13.6. Invalidity and Severability. If any provision of the Agreement (including any Transaction Document) shall
be found by any court to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision
shall not affect the other provisions of the Agreement and all provisions not affected by such invalidity or
unenforceability shall remain in full force and effect. The Parties hereby agree to attempt to substitute for
any invalid or unenforceable provision a valid or enforceable provision which achieves to the greatest
extent possible the economic, legal and commercial objectives of the invalid or unenforceable provision.
13.7. Negotiated Terms. The Parties agree that the terms and conditions of the Agreement are the result of
negotiations between the Parties and that the Agreement shall not be construed in favor of or against
either Party by reason of the extent to which such Party or its professional advisors participated in the
preparation of the Agreement.
13.8. Survival of Provisions. The provisions of the Agreement that by their nature survive expiration or

of the Parties under the Agreement and in any dispute between them will be construed and determined
under and in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Texas, without regard to such state’s
principles of conflicts of law. If a court must enter or enforce an arbitration award, if a party applies solely
for preliminary or injunctive relief, or if the binding arbitration provision set forth in Section 14.12 (Binding
Arbitration) is deemed invalid or ineffective, then each Party irrevocably agrees to submit to the exclusive
jurisdiction of (and waives any objection to the venue of) the federal or state courts located in Harris
County, Texas to enter or enforce such award, to determine such preliminary or injunctive relief, or to
determine such claim or matter arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, as applicable. To the
extent otherwise applicable, the Parties hereto agree that the United Nations Convention on the
International Sale of Goods will not apply to this Agreement.

modified from time to time), as well as all applicable end-use and destination restrictions issued by the

(or any product thereof) are (i) exported, directly or indirectly, in violation of any Export Control Laws or

Customer agrees that no data, information, or materials resulting from any Product or Third-Party Product
will be exported, directly or indirectly, in violation of any applicable Export Control Laws.
13.11. Sanctions. Customer will comply with all UN, EU, US, UK and any other applicable jurisdiction's trade
and economic sanctions laws, regulations, embargoes or similar restrictive measures (“Sanctions

sold) to persons or entities (i) in violation of Sanctions Laws, (ii) added to US Treasury Department’s
Office of Foreign Assets Control’s Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (the “OFAC
SDN List”) or (iii) added to the EU Consolidated List or any other applicable sanctions list, including the
UK's Consolidated List of Financial Sanctions Targets, each as amended, updated or restated from time
to time. Furthermore, no member, employee, director or officer of Customer or, as far as Customer is
aware, any person acting on its behalf, is in violation of Sanctions Laws or designated on a UN, EU, US,
UK or other applicable sanctions list (a “Restricted Person”) or controlled (directly or indirectly) by a
Restricted Person.
13.12. Binding Arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Agreement, including any
breach of the Agreement, shall be determined by final and binding arbitration administered by JAMS
under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“Streamlined Rules”). The award rendered by
the arbitrator shall be final, non-reviewable, and non-appealable and binding on the Parties and may be
entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction. There shall be one arbitrator agreed to by the
Parties within twenty (20) days of receipt by the respondent of the request for arbitration or in default
thereof appointed by JAMS in accordance with the Streamlined Rules, which arbitrator shall have
substantial experience in resolving business disputes involving similar products. The place of arbitration
shall be Harris County, Texas. The arbitrator will have no authority to award punitive, consequential,
liquidated, or other damages waived, disclaimed, or otherwise prohibited by the Agreement and the
award shall not exceed the applicable limitation of liability set forth in the Agreement. Neither Party has
the right to act as a class representative or participate as a member of a class with respect to any
8
13.13. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may
have to a trial by jury in respect of any proceedings relating to the Agreement or any performance or
failure to perform of any obligation under the Agreement.
13.14. Waiver of Right to Class Action. Each Party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any
right it may have to participate in a class action in respect of any proceedings relating to the Agreement
or any performance or failure to perform of any obligation under the Agreement. Each Party may only
bring a claim against the other in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any
purported class or representative proceeding.

at www.aveva.com/policies/ethical/en, which shall be incorporated herein by reference.

create rights for any person as a third-party beneficiary of the Agreement.
13.17. Entire Agreement; Amendments. The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties

contemporaneous representations, understandings or agreements whether written or oral, relating to that
subject matter. The Agreement will prevail over any additional, conflicting, or inconsistent terms and
conditions that may be contained in any purchase order or other document furnished by Customer to
AVEVA. The Agreement may be amended or modified only by a writing that is signed by or on behalf of
both Parties.
