2.6. Open-Source Software. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Customer’s and its Users’ rights with respect to their use of Open-Source Software are governed exclusively by the applicable open-source license(s), not this Agreement.

3. FREE TRIALS, PILOTS, ORDERS, FEES, PAYMENT, AND FREE CUSTOMER ACCOUNTS

3.1. Free Trials/Pilots. New Nektar customers may be eligible to participate in a free trial or pilot phase. The free trial starts when a Customer creates a Customer Account and ends upon a date agreed upon by Nektar in its sole discretion. During the free trial, certain Services and features may not be available. Customer’s continued use of the Services after upgrading to a paid Subscription is subject to its ongoing compliance with this Agreement, and any free trial terms and conditions shall no longer apply. Customer may not receive notice or confirmation from Nektar that the free trial has ended or that the paid Subscription has begun.

3.2. General Terms and Billing. Nektar will bill and Customer agrees to pay Fees at the beginning and upon renewal of its Subscription, plus any applicable Taxes, unless and until Customer timely cancels its Subscription or Nektar terminates it. The Subscription will automatically renew for successive Subscription Terms unless either Party provides written notice of its intent not to renew prior to the expiration of the then-current Subscription Term. Nektar may increase the Fees due under the applicable Order or Order Form for the applicable renewal term (if any) by providing notice to Customer of such increase at least sixty (60) days before the commencement of the upcoming renewal term, provided that the per-unit  Customer must cancel its Subscription before the Subscription renews to avoid incurring the next Subscription Term’s Fees. Fees may include Services level changes as requested by Customer. Nektar will automatically bill Customer for each renewal period on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of its Subscription. If Customer elects to upgrade its Services level or otherwise add any paid component or feature, Nektar will prorate the amount due based on the number of days remaining in Customer’s billing cycle; provided, however, that any such proration shall be based on Customer’s Services level or paid components or features in existence immediately prior to Customer’s election to upgrade or add paid components or features. If Customer downgrades its Services level, Customer may cause the loss of Customer Data or features for its Customer Account; Customer agrees Nektar shall not be liable for any such losses. Except to the extent required by applicable law, all purchases are final and NEKTAR DOES NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR ANY PARTIAL OR UNUSED SUBSCRIPTION PERIODS, OR WHERE CUSTOMER HAS ELECTED TO DOWNGRADE SERVICES LEVELS OR OTHERWISE REMOVED ANY PAID COMPONENT OR FEATURE, OR FOR ANY FEATURE OR COMPONENT THAT CUSTOMER HAS PAID FOR BUT NOT USED.

3.3. Fee Increase Grace Period. Nektar may, in its sole discretion, offer a grace period during which Customer’s Fees will not increase for a certain period of time. If Customer does not accept the increase or addition to the existing Fees, Customer may elect to terminate its Subscription during the then-current billing period and Customer shall not be liable for such Fee increase after the applicable billing period; however, any later renewal of the Subscription will be subject to the increased Fees. If Customer’s credit or debit card used to pay the Fees reaches its expiration date, Customer’s continued use of the Services constitutes its authorization for Nektar to continue billing Customer, and Customer remains responsible for any uncollected amounts.

3.4. Taxes. In connection with the purchase and/or use of the Services, Customer may be subject to Taxes, by any authority which has jurisdiction to impose such Taxes. Customer agrees that Customer is solely responsible for its obligation and payment of any such Taxes, and Customer agrees, unless otherwise required by applicable law, to indemnify Nektar to the extent that Nektar incurs any obligations or other liabilities in connection with such Taxes. Nektar’s failure to charge appropriate Taxes due to incomplete or incorrect information provided by Customer will not relieve Customer of its obligations under this Section 3.5.

3.5. Payment Fees. If Customer makes any payment via credit card, foreign currency, or wire transfer, all associated credit card fees, currency exchange fees, and outgoing and incoming bank fees (including, without limitation, Customer’s bank fees and Nektar’s bank fees) (collectively with credit card fees and currency exchange fees, “Payment Fees”) shall be Customer’s responsibility and shall be recoverable by Nektar from Customer. Customer may include such Payment Fees at the time of the payment to Nektar. However, if such Payment Fees are not included by Customer at the time of payment to Nektar, then Nektar shall be entitled to full reimbursement of such Payment Fees from Customer within sixty (60) days of any applicable payment initiated by Customer.

4. TERM AND TERMINATION

Nektar may, with or without prior notice, immediately terminate the Customer’s Account, Subscription, Subscription Term, and/or access to the Services. Such termination may be made in Nektar’s sole and absolute discretion, with or without cause. Customer agrees that Nektar shall not be liable to Customer or any third party for any termination of its Customer Account, Subscription, Subscription Term, and/or access to the Services.

5. CUSTOMER DATA AND ACCOUNT

5.1. Customer Data. Customer retains all rights to any and all of its Customer Data, subject to a non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide, royalty-free license to Nektar as necessary to provide the Services hereunder. Each Party shall apply reasonable technical, organizational, and administrative security measures, as appropriate relative to the Services, to keep Customer Data protected in accordance with industry standards, including those identified in Section 8.7 for Nektar. If Nektar reasonably believes a problem with the Services may be attributable to Customer Data or Customer’s use of the Services, Customer shall fully cooperate with Nektar to identify the source of and resolve the problem. Customer shall comply with all intellectual property laws and obligations related to the Customer Data, as well as all legal duties applicable to Customer by virtue of using the Services, including providing all required information and notices and obtaining all required consents. This Agreement states Nektar’s exclusive obligations with respect to care of Customer Data.

Customer will notify Nektar immediately of any unauthorized use of its Customer Account or any other breach of security relating to Customer’s use of the Services. Customer will be liable for losses, damages, liability, expenses, and attorneys’ fees incurred by Nektar or a third party due to someone other than a User using a Customer Account. Ownership of a Customer Account is directly linked to the individual or entity that completes the registration process for such Customer Account. Customer acknowledges that Nektar will rely on the information provided by Customer to resolve issues arising with the Customer Account.

5.3. Customer Account Access/Instructions. The Customer Account owner and any authorized Users will have access to information in the Customer Account, subject to the account’s permission settings. Nektar will not provide access to any other person or entity outside of Nektar at any time, except with the Customer Account owner’s prior consent. Customer agrees not to request access to or information about an account that is not owned by the Customer. In the event of a dispute regarding Customer Account data, Nektar will only release information to persons other than the Customer Account owner pursuant to a court order or other notarized waiver and release as determined by Nektar. Customer is solely liable and responsible for understanding the settings, privileges, permissions and controls for the Services and for controlling whom Customer permits to become a User and the settings, permissions, and privileges for such User, including, without limitation, the right for a User to invite other Users to use Customer’s Services, the right to incur charges on the Customer Account, and the right to access, modify or share assets, tasks, work orders, time cards, projects, etc. Customer is responsible for the activities of all of its Users, including orders they may place and how Users use the Customer Data, even if those Users are not from Customer’s organization or domain.
