1.4. Confidentiality
The Partner agrees to keep, and to ensure that all such information is kept, strictly confidential, regardless of its form or medium (whether disclosed orally or in writing, before or after the execution of this Agreement), any information designated as confidential by Ksoftcode, along with all other information relating to the business, affairs, products, Intellectual Property Rights, developments, trade secrets, personnel, subcontractors, partners, and suppliers, including the terms of this Agreement, or any other information that may reasonably be regarded as confidential (“Confidential Information”).
Ksoftcode acts as the processor of such data and agrees not to process personal data for any purpose or in any manner other than strictly in accordance with this Agreement and the Partner’s instructions. The Partner acknowledges that, within the scope of this Agreement, Ksoftcode may disclose personal data to the Licensor, Publisher, or Supplier without requiring additional written consent from the Partner.
Should Ksoftcode receive a request from any authority or third party concerning the existence or specifics of personal data for which the Partner or any entity within the Partner Group acts as the data controller, Ksoftcode shall refrain from disclosing any such information and, instead, promptly relay the request to the Partner without unnecessary delay.
1.5. Payment
1.5.1 Payment Terms
Ksoftcode reserves the right to assign its payment entitlements under this Agreement to a factoring company, local agent, or collection agency.
The Partner is not permitted to withhold payment or apply any deductions, including but not limited to returns, credit notes, price adjustments, billing discrepancies, handling fees, penalties imposed by the Partner, or any other claims or charges.
Ksoftcode may modify credit or payment terms for outstanding orders if the Partner’s financial status, payment history, or relationship with Ksoftcode justifies such a change.
1.5.2 Late Payment
It is crucial that the Partner settles all invoices by or before the due date. Any late payment may incur a penalty of 1.5% of the outstanding amount for the period in question as a late payment fee.
If any portion of an invoice remains unpaid, Ksoftcode reserves the right to report zero (0) license usage to the Licensor, Publisher, or Supplier and/or to suspend further license usage until the Partner has fully cleared the outstanding balance, including accrued interest.
1.6. Force Majeure
If, and to the extent that, either party’s performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement is prevented, hindered, or delayed by lightning, labor disputes, fire, changes in regulations issued by governmental authorities, actions by authorities, flood, earthquake, acts of nature, acts of war, terrorism, riots, civil disorder, rebellion, revolution, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of such party, the non-performing party shall be excused from performing the affected obligations for the duration of the Force Majeure event.
The party whose performance is prevented, hindered, or delayed by a Force Majeure event shall promptly notify the other party of the occurrence of such event, providing a reasonably detailed description of its nature. The non-performing party shall, however, remain obligated to take all reasonable steps to mitigate the effects of the Force Majeure event. If a party’s obligations under this Agreement are materially prevented for a period exceeding three (3) months due to a Force Majeure event, either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to the other party.
In the event that a Force Majeure occurrence only partially impairs a party’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the party shall remain fully responsible for the performance of all obligations that are not impacted by the Force Majeure event.
1.7. Miscellaneous
All notices and communications required under this Agreement must be in writing and will be considered duly given if delivered by messenger or sent via email to the email address provided by the receiving party.
No consent or waiver, whether explicit or implied, granted by either party concerning any breach or default by the other in fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement, shall be interpreted as a waiver or consent for any subsequent breach or default of the same or any other obligation. Any failure by one party to act on a default shall not be considered a waiver of its rights under this Agreement.
No waiver of any rights under this Agreement will be valid unless it is in writing and signed by the party granting such waiver.
The section headings in this Agreement are provided for convenience only and shall not influence the interpretation of the terms or provisions.
The Partner must immediately notify Ksoftcode upon becoming aware of any circumstances that may require an adjustment to the timeline for Ksoftcode’s performance or delivery.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, all conditions and warranties that can legally be excluded are hereby expressly excluded. Ksoftcode provides no express conditions or warranties other than those specifically outlined in this Agreement.
Ksoftcode reserves the right to amend these general terms and conditions to reflect changes or updates from the Licensor, Publisher, or Supplier, or if Ksoftcode has reasonable justification for such modifications. If the Partner disagrees with these amendments, the Partner may terminate the Agreement in accordance with Section 1.3. However, the Partner remains obligated to pay all outstanding amounts due up to the date of termination.
1.8. Dispute Resolution
This Agreement shall be governed by the substantive laws of the jurisdiction where the Ksoftcode affiliate, party to this Agreement, has its principal place of business, without regard to any principles of choice or conflict of laws. Any disputes arising from or related to this Agreement shall be exclusively resolved by the ordinary courts of the jurisdiction where the Ksoftcode affiliate has its principal place of business. However, Ksoftcode reserves the right, at its discretion, to initiate legal proceedings for debt collection in the jurisdiction where the Partner is located
1.9. License use reporting
The Partner must always remain mindful of its reporting obligations. By submitting reports to Ksoftcode via the CloudIQ © portal through proper service provisioning, the Partner certifies that the information provided is accurate and complete to the best of its knowledge.
Ksoftcode will verify the service provisioning and reported usage for all subscriptions and online services submitted by the Partner. However, the Partner acknowledges that Ksoftcode lacks the ability to continuously monitor the Partner’s License Use. Ksoftcode’s verification and reporting to the Licensor will typically rely solely on the Partner’s submitted reports. Therefore, the Partner recognizes that accurate reporting of its License Use is critically important.
Ksoftcode will make commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Partner in correcting any reporting errors.
The preceding paragraphs do not exempt the Partner from fully reimbursing Ksoftcode for any claims made by the Licensor if the Partner’s actual License Use exceeds the reported usage submitted to the Licensor for any subscriptions and/or online services.
