Microsoft License Mobility

If Client makes use of Microsoft software relative to the Services, which is not provided by Logically, then Client, in so doing, represents and warrants that it has secured a written license agreement (or other necessary legal authorization) that permits Client to use the Microsoft software in conjunction with the Services. Client agrees that it will provide Logically with evidence of such licensing as Logically may reasonably require prior to the commencement of the Services, and from time to time as necessary to update the status of the license. If Client fails to provide the required evidence of licensing, Logically may, at its option, either (i) suspend the Services that were to include such software until the evidence is provided, (ii) provide the Services in reliance on Logically’s licensing agreement with the vendor, and charge you its standard fee for the use of the software until such time as the required evidence is provided, or (iii) suspend or terminate this Agreement.

If Client desires to exercise License Mobility through Software Assurance rights, Client must execute the Mobility Verification Form located at http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/software-assurance/license-mobility.aspx or at its successor site, and, then, submit the Form to Microsoft for verification within 10 days of Client’s deployment of such Microsoft software. Licenses under the License Mobility through Software Assurance program must remain on Logically’s shared servers within a single Data Center for no less than 90 days. Client may not reassign a particular license within 90 days of the last assignment.

Software Audit

Client must cooperate with Logically in the event that a Software Manufacturer requests Logically participation in an audit of the software services. Client agrees that Logically can provide the Software Manufacturer with:

• The number of Virtual Machine instances provided to Client by Logically
• The number of Client or user licenses
• A list of the Microsoft software products, which run in such Windows Virtual Machine instances
• All copies of Client’s validated Microsoft Mobility Verification Forms

If Microsoft, or the Software Manufacturer determines that Client is non-compliant with the program requirements for License Mobility through Software Assurance and Client does not cure the non-compliance within a time period specified by Microsoft or the Software Manufacturer, then, Logically may terminate this Agreement, the provision of any or all Services to you, or both.

Client Representations and Warranties

Client must keep records relating to all use and distribution of all Software Publisher software licenses (the “Software License”). Client represents and warrants that Client has title to or has a license or the right to use or modify the Software License or right to permit Logically to use, access or modify any Software License that Client has requested Logically to use, access or modify as part of the Services. It is Client’s responsibility to independently ensure that ALL Software Licenses in use by Client are properly licensed. Logically will not promote the use of, or knowingly support software which is not properly licensed by Client.

Right to verify compliance during a Software Audit

Logically has the right, at Client’s expense, to verify compliance with the Software License terms. Client must promptly provide any information reasonably requested by Logically or any independent auditor retained by Logically in furtherance of the verification, including access to systems running the Software License and evidence of licenses for the Software License that Client uses. Client agrees to complete Logically’s self-audit process, which Logically may request at any time.

Software Licensing Non-compliance

Assistance with software audits or Software Licensing compliance matters are billable at Logically’s then current hourly rates. If the number of Software License deployments in Client’s environment exceeds the number of Software Licenses (“Excess Software License Deployments”) in any given month, Logically will invoice Client for Excess Software License Deployments at then current rates. Furthermore, if verification of the Logically audit reveals any unlicensed use of the Software License, at Client’s own expense, Client must immediately order and purchase sufficient licenses to cover its use. Client agrees to pay Logically within ten (10) days of receipt of Logically’s invoice.

Ongoing Verification Process

Logically will monitor Client’s software usage regarding any Software Publisher on an ongoing basis to verify Client’s compliance with the license terms for the Software License. Logically may engage an independent auditor, which will be subject to a confidentiality obligation. Any information collected in the Logically self-audit will be used solely for purposes of determining compliance. This verification will take place during normal business hours and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with Client’s operations. Logically has the right to use software license tracking tools to provide the Services and to monitor Client’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Even though Logically has the right to monitor Client’s usage of software on an ongoing basis, Logically is not obligated to monitor Client’s network for Software License compliance, Client is responsible for any outcomes and consequences for its own software usage and/or Software License compliance.

Client Cooperation

Client shall fully cooperate with Logically throughout the provision of the Services. Client shall not uninstall or interfere with the software licensing tracking tools used by Logically to administer the Service, and Client shall grant Logically all appropriate permissions and allow Logically the ability to implement configurations to allow the software tracking tools to function properly.

Microsoft Audit

Client acknowledges that Microsoft reserves the right to audit Client for any use of Microsoft Products.

Client Facility Installations

Logically may locate servers containing Software Products (“Servers”) on Client’s premises (“Client Facility”) solely to provide the Software Products to Client, provided that the Servers remain under the day to day management and control of the Logically. Client shall identify all Servers using the Software Products at Client’s Facility. Client agrees not to install Software Products on Client Servers without the written permission of Logically. Client also agrees not to move or repurpose any Server without the written permission of Logically. Client acknowledges and agrees that Logically has the right to use software license tracking tools to provide the Services and to monitor Client’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon request of Logically, Client will promptly identify the number of Servers located at each Client Facility and the Software Products installed on such Servers or allow Logically to identify the information onsite.  Client shall not access, maintain, or otherwise use the Software Products in violation of this Agreement or any Software Publishers End User License Agreement. Client is responsible for all of its obligations under this Agreement regardless of the physical location of the Servers involved in providing the Service. Client will be responsible to the Software Publisher for any unauthorized installation, use, copying, access or distribution of the Products by Client.

Other Service Terms

The Software Products are licensed on Client Servers on a month-to-month basis under the applicable Software Publisher’s licensing programs (e.g., Microsoft SPLA). All Software Products licensed and provided by Logically are not perpetual licenses, and the Software Product licenses are not owned by the Client. Only Client Servers listed in this Agreement or that are pursuant to an applicable Change Order are covered by the terms of this Agreement. Software Publisher licensing does not extend to any other Client Servers or devices that may be present on Client’s network. Client’s Server must remain under the day-to-day management of Logically to maintain Client’s licensing status under this Agreement. Any Software Publisher license on Client Servers located at Client’s onsite location shall be limited to the applicable Software Publisher licensing program (e.g., Microsoft Windows Server licensing only), and such Software Publisher licensing does not include licensing for any other products that may be present on Client’s Server. Client understands and agrees it will be responsible for all Software Publisher licensing after any suspension and/or Termination date.

INDEMNITY

Client agrees to indemnify and hold Logically harmless against and from any and all liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees and any surcharges, penalties, damages or other sums payable to a Software Publisher) which are incurred by Logically as a proximate result of, arise out of or relate to:

• Client’s unauthorized manufacture, copying, reproduction, distribution, installation, access, modification or use of any Software Products (including without limitation any piracy or counterfeiting of software or other infringement of or interference with the Software Publisher’s intellectual property rights),
• Client’s failure to stop using, return or comply with other instructions concerning the Software Products following notice from the Software Publisher or Logically that the Software Products in question may be the subject of an infringement claim,
• Client’s violation of Software Publisher’s End User License Terms or any other Software Publisher’s terms of use that Client has been made aware of or has reason to know of,
• Logically’s use, access or modifications of any software that Client requested where such use, access or modification by Logically,  as part of the Services, infringes any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right,
• Client’s use, access or modifications of any software that Client uses, accesses or modifies as part of the Services infringes any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right, or
• Any claim related to any Software Products licensing and/or any Software Products licensing compliance.

Client agrees to pay any judgments or settlements based on any such claims related to its use of any Software Products.  The parties recognize that the foregoing commitments are specifically intended to supplement and not supersede the terms of the Master Services Agreement.

IP ADDRESSES

Upon expiration or termination of the Agreement, Client must discontinue use of the Services and relinquish use of the IP addresses and server names assigned to it by Logically in connection with Services, including pointing the DNS for its domain name(s) away from Logically Services. Client agrees that Logically may, as it determines necessary, make modifications to DNS records and zones on Logically managed or operated DNS servers and services.

DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION SERVICES

If Client registers, renews, or transfers a domain name through Logically, Logically will submit the request to its domain name services provider (the “Registrar”) on Client’s behalf. Logically’s sole responsibility, in such situations, is to submit the request to the Registrar. Logically is not responsible for any errors, omissions, or failures of the Registrar. Client’s use of domain name services is subject to the applicable legal terms of the Registrar. Client is responsible for closing any account with any prior reseller of or registrar for the requested domain name and Client is responsible for responding to any inquiries sent to Client by the Registrar.
