2. LICENSE AND SOFTWARE SERVICES
2.1 Grant of License.
If Customer will have elected under the Proposal the Customer-Installed Software
or iRely-Hosted Software options, as applicable, iRely hereby grants to Customer a
personal, non-transferable (except as provided herein), non-exclusive, limited-scope license to use, in
accordance with this Agreement, one (1) copy of the Software on one
(1) server, and to create one (1) copy of the Software solely
for archival purposes, as the Software may be periodically modified, revised and
updated in accordance with this Agreement. Customer may use the Software and
Documentation only in the ordinary course of its business operations and for
its own business purposes. The Software will be installed and used only
at Customer’s location(s) and by the number of users specified in the
Proposal. If Customer will previously have been issued by iRely a license
for the Software and has requested the iRely-Hosted Software service option under
the Proposal, the license granted hereunder will replace the previously granted license.
2.2 Hosting Services.
If Customer will have elected the iRely-Hosted Software services option under the
Proposal, in addition to the license granted by iRely under Section 2.1,
iRely hereby grants Customer a subscription to receive the Hosting Services in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
2.3 SaaS Services.
If Customer will have elected the SaaS Services option under the Proposal,
iRely hereby grants Customer a subscription to receive the SaaS Services in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Customer may
use the SaaS Services only in the ordinary course of its business
operations and for its own business purposes.
2.4 Authorized Users.
Customer is responsible for the compliance by all Authorized Users with this
Agreement and for all use of Authorized User accounts and confidentiality of
passwords. Customer will promptly notify iRely in the event that an Authorized
User’s password has been lost, stolen or otherwise compromised. Customer will
use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to or use of
the Hosting Services or SaaS Services, as applicable, and will notify iRely
promptly of any such unauthorized access or use. The numbers and
location of Authorized Users may be limited in the applicable Proposals.
3. DELIVERY, SUPPORT AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
3.1 Delivery.
If Customer will have elected the Customer-Installed Software option under the Proposal,
iRely will deliver to Customer a copy of the Software and Documentation
on or before the date specified in the Proposal, or if no
specific date is provided in the Proposal, within a commercially reasonable time.
3.2 Maintenance and Support Services.
If Customer will have elected, as applicable, the Customer-Installed Software or iRely-Hosted
Software service options under the Proposal, iRely will provide to Customer the
Software maintenance and support Services set forth in the Proposal. Such
Services will relate to the then current version of the Software and
the two (2) releases immediately preceding such current release. iRely will
use commercially reasonable efforts to support other older Software release at iRely’s
then current time and materials rates and otherwise on the terms set
forth in this Agreement. If Customer will have elected the SaaS
Services option under the Proposal, iRely shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
investigate problems with the SaaS Services reported by Customer. If iRely determines
that the SaaS Services problem is the result of a material reproducible
error, defect, or malfunction in the SaaS Services, and such problem represents
a material nonconformance with iRely’s specifications for the SaaS Services, iRely will
make commercially reasonable efforts to correct the problem. An iRely representative will
provide Customer with a correction, a report/determination that further research is required,
or confirmation that the SaaS Services work in accordance with iRely specifications.
Maintenance and SaaS services will be adjusted annually for yearly escalation
of costs. The yearly annual increase will typically be about 2.5%
per year, but this may fluctuate depending on economic factors.
3.3 Professional Services.
In addition to iRely’s Services under Section 3.2, at Customer's reasonable request,
iRely will provide installation, training, consulting, custom modification programming, support relating to
custom modifications and other Professional Services, as and when described in applicable
Proposals and at the fees and on the other terms and conditions
set forth in such Proposals. All such Proposals will be subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Service rates may
increase yearly based on market conditions and the cost/value of billable time.
3.4 Acceptance.
Applicable Software deliverables under all Proposals will be accepted by Customer when
the acceptance criteria, if any, specified in applicable Proposals have been met.
Where no Software acceptance criteria are specified, such deliverables will be
deemed accepted upon the earlier of: (a) thirty (30) days after
delivery to Customer, provided that Customer does not notify iRely of any
material defects in such deliverables; or (b) the date upon which such
deliverables are used in production by Customer. SaaS Services and Hosting
Services will be deemed accepted upon use in production by Customer.
3.5 Other Terms of Services.
All subsequent Proposals will include the following items: (a) a description
of the Professional Services and other services to be performed; (b) any
deliverables and/or milestones; (c) the tasks and resources Customer will provide; and

any non-iRely personnel in connection with any Professional Services, other than Customer
personnel reasonably required in connection with such Professional Services, without the prior
written consent of iRely.
4. CUSTOMER'S OTHER OBLIGATIONS
Customer will cooperate with iRely as reasonably necessary for iRely to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Customer will devote all equipment, facilities, personnel and other resources identified in the Proposals or otherwise reasonably required to install, implement and use the Customer-Installed Software and to implement and use the iRely-Hosted Software services. iRely will not be responsible for any delays or additional fees and costs associated with Customer’s failure to timely perform its obligations under this Section 4.
5. PAYMENTS
5.1 Fees Specified in the Proposals.
Customer will pay to iRely, as applicable, the Software license fees, Hosting
Services subscription fees, SaaS Services subscription fees, Professional Services fees and other
fees as set forth in applicable Proposals and as and when specified
in Section 5.4.
5.2 Additional Fees.
Unless otherwise expressly provided in applicable Proposals, Professional Services fees will be
billable to Customer at iRely’s then current standard time and materials rates.
Customer will promptly reimburse iRely for all reasonable travel, lodging and
per diem expenses incurred by iRely personnel in connection with their performance
of the Professional Services.
5.3 Taxes.
The fees and other amounts payable by Customer to iRely under this
Agreement do not include any taxes of any jurisdiction that may be
assessed or imposed in connection with the services provided hereunder and, as
applicable, upon the copies of the Software and Documentation delivered to Customer,
the license granted under this Agreement and the services provided hereunder, or
any taxes otherwise assessed or imposed in connection with the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, including sales, use, excise, value added, personal property, export,
import and withholding taxes, excluding only taxes based upon iRely's net income.
Customer will directly pay any such taxes assessed against it, and
Customer will promptly reimburse iRely for any such taxes payable or collectable
by iRely.
5.4 Payment Terms.
All fees will be invoiced by iRely as and when incurred.
All invoices will be sent to Customer's address stated on the first
page of this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed by the parties. Payments will
be made by automated clearing house (ACH) electronic funds transfer in accordance
with ACH instructions provided in writing by iRely. Interest at the rate
of eighteen percent (18%) per annum (or, if lower, the maximum rate
permitted by applicable law) will accrue on any amount not paid by
Customer to iRely when due under this Agreement, and will be payable
by Customer to iRely on demand. All fees and other amounts paid
by Customer under this Agreement are non-refundable.
5.5 Audit.
iRely or its representatives may inspect and audit Customer’s servers and facilities
to determine Customer’s compliance with the Software license and Authorized Users limitations
set forth inSection 2 and otherwise provided in this Agreement. If
iRely determines that a noncompliance has occurred, in addition to iRely’s other
remedies, Customer will promptly pay iRely, as applicable, all additional software
license and service fees due iRely, together with all reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses of such audit.
5.6 Certain Remedies for
Nonpayment. If Customer fails to pay to iRely, within ten (10)
days after iRely makes written demand therefor, any past-due amount payable under
this Agreement (including interest thereon) that is not the subject of a
good faith dispute, in addition to all other rights and remedies which
iRely may have at law or in equity, iRely may, in its
sole discretion and without further notice to Customer, immediately suspend all applicable
SaaS Services, Hosting Services, Professional Services and the performance of any
or all of its other obligations under this Agreement, and iRely will
have no liability with respect to Customer’s use of the applicable Software,
SaaS Services, Hosting Services, Professional Services or other iRely services hereunder until
all past due amounts are settled. iRely reserves the right to
impose a reconnection fee in the event Customer’s access to the SaaS
Services is suspended and thereafter Customer requests renewed access to the SaaS
Services. For the purposes of this Agreement, a “good faith dispute” means
a good faith dispute by Customer of certain amounts invoiced under this
Agreement. A good faith dispute will be deemed to exist only
if (a) Customer has given written notice of the dispute to iRely
promptly after receiving the invoice and (b) the notice explains Customer's position
in reasonable detail. A good faith dispute will not exist as
to an invoice in its entirety merely because certain amounts on the
invoice have been disputed.
5.7 Marketing Material.
Our overall pricing has been discounted with the assumption that customers will
allow use of their name on various announcements and marketing materials for
iRely. If Customer does not allow this activity, built-in price discount
will be considered null and void and overall pricing will be higher.
6. DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS
6.1 Force Majeure.
Neither party will be liable for, nor will either party be considered
in breach of this Agreement due to, any failure to perform its
obligations under this Agreement (other than its payment obligations) as a result
of a cause beyond its control, including any act of God or
a public enemy or terrorist, act of any military, civil or regulatory
authority, change in any law or regulation, fire, flood, earthquake, storm or
other like event, disruption or outage of communications (including the Internet or
other networked environment), power or other utility, labor problem, unavailability of supplies,
extraordinary conditions or any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to any
of the foregoing, which could not have been prevented by the non-performing
party with reasonable care.

User or client of Customer or any other Person be considered a
third-party beneficiary of this Agreement or otherwise entitled to any rights or
remedies under this Agreement, even if such Affiliates, Authorized Users, clients or
other Persons are provided access to any Hosting Services, SaaS Services or
Professional Services. Customer will have no rights or remedies against iRely
except as specifically provided in this Agreement. No action or claim of

the basis for the action or claim.

party, and will not use such Confidential Information of the other party
without such other party’s prior written consent. No party will disclose
the Confidential Information of any other party to any Person, except to
its own employees, agents and independent contractors to whom it is necessary
to disclose the Confidential Information for the sole purpose of performing their
duties and/or exercising their rights under this Agreement, and who have agreed
to receive it under terms at least as restrictive as those specified
in this Agreement. Each party will maintain the confidentiality of the
Confidential Information, with not less than the standard of care that an
ordinarily prudent business would exercise to maintain the secrecy of its own
most confidential information. Each party will immediately give notice to the other
party of any unauthorized use or disclosure of any Confidential Information.
Each party agrees to assist the other party in remedying such unauthorized
use or disclosure of Confidential Information. Upon either party’s request, the

give or otherwise disclose any Proprietary Item to any Person, or permit
any Person to have access to or possession of any Proprietary Item.
Title to all Proprietary Items and all related patent, copyright, trademark,
trade secret, intellectual property and other ownership rights will be and remain
exclusively with iRely, even with respect to such items that were created
by iRely specifically for or on behalf of Customer. This Agreement is
not an agreement of sale, and no title, patent, copyright, trademark, trade
secret, intellectual property or other ownership rights to any Proprietary Items are
transferred to Customer by virtue of this Agreement. All copies of
Proprietary Items in Customer's possession will remain the exclusive property of iRely

actual or suspected breach by it of any of the provisions of
this Section 7, whether or not intentional, and the breaching party will,
at its expense, take all steps reasonably requested by the other party
to prevent or remedy the breach.
7.5 Enforcement.
Each party acknowledges that the restrictions in this Agreement are reasonable and
necessary to protect the other's legitimate business interests. Each party acknowledges
that any breach of any of the provisions of this Section 7
will result in irreparable injury to the other for which money damages
could not adequately compensate. If there is a breach, then the
injured party will be entitled, in addition to all other rights and
remedies which it may have at law or in equity, to have
a decree of specific performance or an injunction issued by any competent
court, requiring the breach to be cured or enjoining all Persons involved
from continuing the breach. The existence of any claim or cause
of action that a party or any other Person may have against
the other party will not constitute a defense or bar to the
enforcement of any of the provisions of this Section 7.

breach of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this
Agreement and the Proposals, the terms of this Agreement will govern.
9.6 Severability.

will not affect the other provisions of this Agreement.
