2.3  Reservations.  Customer is not granted any proprietary right, title, interest, or ownership of the On-Premises Software and Documentation and Crestron reserves all rights not expressly granted to Customer under this Agreement.  Further, this Agreement does not authorize Customer to use, alter, modify, remove or conceal any name, trademark or logo of Crestron.

2.4  Payment.  For each License, Customer or its Authorized Integrator shall be responsible for payment to Crestron of the fees associated with the applicable Order.  In the event such fees are not paid, the Agreement is terminated, or a Subscription License expires, the right to use the On-Premises Software and Documentation will terminate.

3.  Conditions of Use

3.3  Obligations.  It is the Customer’s responsibility to use an authorized Crestron dealer or service provider (an “Authorized Integrator”) to install and configure On-Premises Software on Customer’s IT infrastructure, whether local or cloud-based.  The Customer shall provide network capability, along with hardware and software that is compatible with the On-Premises Software, as described in the Documentation.

3.4  Protection of Private and Proprietary Information.  The Software may receive, process, store, or generate output containing private and proprietary information.  Customer understands and agrees that it is Customer’s sole responsibility to select and implement the process, procedure and technology for protecting access to, and use of, such information.  Customer is solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of passwords associated with the On-Premises Software.

3.5  Technical Safeguards.  Customer agrees that it will use all commercially reasonable technical safeguards to prevent Crestron from any access to personal or non-public information resident on any Customer IT infrastructure, the compromise of which could result in tangible harm to an individual, including but not limited to national identification numbers, financial information, information about children, criminal records, health information, or information regarding one or more factors specific to an individual’s physical, physiological, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity (“Sensitive Personal Information”).  Crestron refuses to accept and Customer agrees not to provide Crestron with any access to such Sensitive Personal Information in connection with any On-Premises Software and/or Maintenance Services.

3.7  Third Party Software.  In order to operate, On-Premises Software may require that the Customer accept separate terms that govern the use of third-party technology that is licensed under separate license terms and not under the terms of this Agreement.  Customer is responsible for accepting (e.g., by clicking to accept a EULA agreement) and complying with these separate terms.  Crestron may provide certain notices to Customer regarding the use of such third-party technology in the Documentation.

3.8  Crestron Device Software EULA.  Other software that is developed by, or under the permission of Crestron, which runs on any device sold by or for Crestron, including pre-installed software, is subject to the terms of a separate Crestron Software End User License Agreement:  http://www.crestron.com/legal/software-license-agreement.

4.  Warranty

4.1  Crestron represents and warrants that the On-Premises Software will function substantially as described in the Documentation.  Crestron has no obligations for: (a) Customer’s use of a version of the On-Premises Software that has passed its end-of-life date; (b) problems caused by any third party software or hardware; (c) problems caused by the actions of any third party, including an Authorized Integrator; or (d) other matters beyond Crestron’s reasonable control.

4.2  If the On-Premises Software does not function substantially in accordance with the Documentation, Crestron shall, at its sole option, either: (a) modify the On-Premises Software to conform to the Documentation; or (b) provide a workaround solution that will reasonably meet Customer’s requirements.  If neither of these options is commercially feasible, either party may terminate the relevant License or Maintenance Services under this Agreement, in which case Crestron shall refund all fees pre-paid to Crestron under the relevant Order for the unused portion of such License or Maintenance Services.

4.3  If the normal operation, possession or use of the On-Premises Software by Customer is found to infringe any third party U.S. intellectual property right or Crestron believes that this is likely, Crestron shall, at its option, either: (a) obtain a license from such third party for the benefit of Customer; or (b) modify the On-Premises Software so that it no longer infringes.  If neither of these options is commercially feasible, either party may terminate the relevant License or Maintenance Services under this Agreement, in which case Crestron shall refund all fees pre-paid to Crestron under the relevant Order for the unused portion of the License or Maintenance Services.

5.  Maintenance Services and Subscription Maintenance Services

5.1  Crestron will provide customer with “Maintenance Services” consistent with the support program offered by Crestron, as set forth in the Documentation, in connection with the specific On-Premises Software product set forth in the Order.  Maintenance Services may include (a) software updates periodically made available by Crestron in its sole discretion; (b) support resources and (c) technical resources.  Unless otherwise specified in an Order or in the Documentation, the Maintenance Services provided in connection with the License will be consistent with Crestron True Blue Support and Satisfaction programs, as described on Crestron’s website, www.crestron.com.

5.2  Crestron warrants that the Maintenance Services will be performed with reasonable skill, care and diligence.  Customer shall provide Crestron with all information, access, and full good faith cooperation reasonably necessary to enable Crestron to deliver the Maintenance Services and if Customer fails to do this, Crestron will be relieved of its Maintenance Services obligations to the extent that the obligations are dependent upon Customer’s performance. Maintenance Services for products subject to One-Time Licenses hereunder are included to the extent set forth in the Documentation. Maintenance Services   -for products subject to Subscription Licenses hereunder are included for the term of each Subscription License.   Customer will receive applicable software updates offered by Crestron for products licensed hereunder during the term of the Maintenance Services. 

5.3  Subscription Maintenance Services.  Crestron, in its sole discretion, may offer “Subscription Maintenance Services” in connection with One-Time Licenses for On-Premises Software products, as set forth in the applicable Order and/or Documentation.  Subscription Maintenance Services, where made available, may entitle Customers with One-Time Licenses to receive additional levels of updates or support beyond that set forth in the Documentation. In the event this Agreement expires or is terminated, or the associated fee is not paid, the right to receive Subscription Maintenance Services will terminate.  Should Customer allow coverage under this paragraph to lapse, then coverage can only be restored by making retroactive payments for the entire lapsed time period.

5.4  Software Versions.  Crestron regularly changes, enhances, revises, updates, and upgrades the On-Premises Software.  This means that the On-Premises Software is continually evolving and in order to make efficient use of these changes, the Customer may need to upgrade its equipment, including but not limited to servers and other network equipment.  Crestron recognizes that Customer may have legitimate business reasons for not upgrading to a new version of the On-Premises Software as soon as the updated version becomes available.  However, at the end of Subscription License or Maintenance Services term, as set forth in the applicable Order and / or Documentation, Crestron may discontinue support for certain older versions of the On-Premises Software.
