Customer agrees that AAI may use information, in an anonymized and aggregated format, obtained from Customer’s use of the Software, such as by tracking click actions, access information, runtime behavior and other usage telemetry and metadata derived from Customer’s use of the Software, to assess how the Software is performing and to analyze, diagnose, enhance and improve AAI’s offerings and models, including and as further described in AAI’s Privacy Policy. To the extent AAI’s performance under this OLA is deemed under Applicable Data Protection Laws to involve the Processing of Customer Personal Data (as the aforementioned terms are defined in the DPA), the DPA shall apply.
Fees and Payment.
Subscription Fees(for Direct Purchases only).
The subscription fee and any other fees due for the Software will be reflected in the Order Form. An Order Form constitutes a legally binding commitment to purchase, and the relevant fees are due and non-refundable (except where expressly set out otherwise in this OLA) even if this OLA expires or is terminated earlier than the expiration of the relevant subscription term reflected in the Order Form. In the event Customer’s Affiliates wish to execute Order Forms directly with AAI, they must execute AAI’s standard affiliate agreement directly with AAI, binding themselves to the terms of this OLA. Customer acknowledges that AAI may change its fees for Software at any time, provided that, any such change shall not affect the Customer’s then-current fees until the end of the subscription term set forth in the applicable Order Form.
Software Changes.
If Customer’s use of the Software exceeds a Software capacity as set forth in the Order Form or Purchase Agreement, then AAI reserves the right to bill for such increased usage at AAI’s then-current applicable list prices, and Customer agrees to pay the additional fees in the manner provided herein.
Payment Terms/Taxes (for Direct Purchases only).
Unless otherwise stated on an applicable Order Form, all invoice amounts not subject to a good faith dispute are payable in the currency indicated on the Order Form within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the relevant invoice. AAI may impose interest on late payments at the lower of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate allowable by applicable law. Customer shall pay all of AAI’s reasonable fees, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) if any action including legal action is required to collect outstanding undisputed balances. If and to the extent required under applicable law, Customer may withhold from any payment to AAI an amount equivalent to any required applicable withholding tax. Customer shall provide to AAI documentation to support the tax withheld pursuant to this section, and the parties agree to cooperate in good faith to provide one another with such other documents and certifications as are reasonably necessary to enable AAI to minimize and/or recover any withholding tax obligation.
Indemnification.
Indemnification by AAI:
AAI will defend, indemnify and hold Customer harmless from any damages or losses that it may incur by reason of or arising out of any third-party claim that any part of the Software infringes any patent or copyright or misappropriates any trade secret. In any action based on a claim of infringement, AAI may, at its sole option and expense: (a) procure for Customer the right to continue using the applicable Software under the terms of this OLA; (b) replace or modify the affected portion of the Software with a replacement or modification that permits the Software to function in substantially equivalent form as with the infringing portion of the Software; or (c) if options (a) and (b) above are not reasonably commercially available or practicable, then AAI may terminate Customer’s rights and AAI’s obligations hereunder with respect to the affected portion of the Software, in which case AAI will refund a pro rata portion of any prepaid fees (through the Authorized Representative in the case of an Indirect Purchase) for such affected portion of the Software equal to the period of time from the date of termination to the end of the then-current subscription term.
Indemnification Procedures.
AAI’s indemnification obligations under this Section 6 are conditioned upon Customer: (a) promptly notifying AAI in writing of the claim; (b) granting AAI sole control of the defense and settlement of the claim, provided that Customer shall have the right to reject any settlement that requires it to admit wrongdoing or liability; and (c) providing AAI with all assistance (at AAI’s expense), information, and authority reasonably required for the defense and settlement of the claim.
Indemnity Exclusions.
AAI will have no liability for any claim described in Section 6.1 to the extent that it would not have occurred but for: (a) modifications to the Software made by Customer or a party acting on Customer’s behalf (other than modifications made at AAI’s written direction); (b) Customer’s failure to use updated or modified forms of the Software provided by AAI; (c) Customer’s use of the Software other than in accordance with this OLA; or (d) compliance by AAI with designs, plans or specifications furnished by or on behalf of Customer.

General Provisions.
Governing Law.
This OLA is governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act shall not apply to this OLA. The parties submit to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in an appropriate court sitting in Santa Clara County, California, USA. If Customer is located in South Korea, the parties shall agree on the competent jurisdiction for any disputes arising out of and/or from the OLA; provided that if the parties cannot reach an agreement on a competent jurisdiction, the parties shall comply with Korean Civil Procedure Law for this limited purpose.
Notices.
All notices related to this OLA shall be made in writing in English and shall be effective upon (a) personal delivery, (b) the second business day after mailing (or, if posted internationally, the fifth business day after mailing), and (c) the day of emailing (provided that notices of termination and indemnifiable claims shall also be sent by the processes described in (a) and (b) in addition to email). Notices sent to AAI shall be addressed to: 633 River Oaks Parkway, San Jose, CA 95134 U.S.A., ATTN: General Counsel, and/or emailed to: legalnotices@automationanywhere.com. Notices sent to Customer shall be sent to the Customer address on the applicable Order Form or Purchase Agreement, unless Customer has notified AAI of another address in accordance with this Section. Any notice given in conformance with this Section shall be effective upon actual delivery or refusal of delivery.
Assignment.
Neither party may assign this OLA or any right or obligation hereunder without the other party’s prior written consent; provided, however that AAI may assign this OLA to a subsidiary or Affiliate or a successor in interest in case of a merger or acquisition of AAI or in case of a transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, or the assets of a major division, to another entity. This OLA will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
Third-Party Beneficiaries/Independent Contractors.
No person or entity other than the parties hereto will have any right to enforce or seek enforcement of this OLA. There are no third-party beneficiaries to this OLA. Each party will perform its obligations hereunder as an independent contractor and not as an agent or representative of the other party. Nothing in this OLA will be deemed or construed as creating a partnership, joint venture, or any similar relationship between the parties.
Entire Agreement/Order of Precedence.
This OLA, together with applicable Order Forms, the documents linked hereto, and any exhibit(s) (as applicable) referenced herein, constitutes the entire understanding between Customer and AAI with respect to the subject matter hereof. No terms or conditions set forth in any purchase order or other document provided by Customer to AAI shall be part of any agreement between AAI and Customer unless specifically accepted by AAI in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each party. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this OLA and the terms of an Order Form (other than payment terms), a document linked hereto, or any exhibit(s) (as applicable) referenced herein, the terms of this OLA shall take precedence and control unless the Order Form or other document explicitly references and overrides a provision of this OLA.
Modification/Waiver/Severability.
No modification of this OLA will be binding, unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each party. Any express waiver or failure to exercise promptly any right under this OLA will not create a continuing waiver or any expectation of non-enforcement. If any provision of this OLA shall for any reason be held illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed severable from the remaining provisions of this OLA and shall in no way affect or impair the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this OLA, unless such omission would frustrate the intent of the parties, in which case this OLA may be reformed to give effect to the other provisions hereof.
Injunctive Relief
The parties acknowledge that any breach of the confidentiality provisions or the unauthorized use of a party’s intellectual property may result in serious and irreparable injury to the aggrieved party for which damages may not adequately compensate the aggrieved party. The parties agree, therefore, that, in addition to any other remedy that the aggrieved party may have, it shall be entitled to seek equitable injunctive relief without being required to post a bond or other surety or to prove either actual damages or that damages would be an inadequate remedy.
Updates
To the extent Customer decides to install an update, and that update requires additions or modifications to the terms of this OLA, AAI will notify Customer accordingly, but any such amendment(s) shall not materially increase Customer’s liabilities and/or obligations nor shall it materially decrease AAI’s obligations and/or liabilities unless required by applicable law.
