At any time of the Subscription Term, You may submit an Order Form to increase the Use Levels and, upon CoSoSys’ acceptance of such Order Form, You shall pay the Subscription Fees for such increase, pro-rated for the remainder of Your then-current Subscription Term, and such Order Form shall renew concurrently with Your then-current Subscription for a period equal to Your initial Subscription Term. To the maximum extent permitted by law, all Fees paid or payable are non-refundable.
- The Fees and payment terms payable by You to CoSoSys for the renewal of the Legacy Licensed Software will be set forth in each Order Form.

Delinquent payments may bear interest at the rate of one-and-a-half (1.5) percent per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less) from the payment due date until paid in full. You will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by CoSoSys in collecting delinquent amounts, except where such delinquent amounts are due to CoSoSys’ billing inaccuracies.
3.2. TAX. Unless otherwise agreed between the Parties, all CoSoSys prices are net, excluding VAT or any applicable sales tax.

If You are required to pay any Taxes to a taxing authority, You agree to provide documentation to CoSoSys upon CoSoSys’ request showing that You paid those Taxes. In such a case, You and CoSoSys will work together to avoid any withholding tax if exemptions, or a reduced treaty withholding rate, are available.

You will provide CoSoSys reasonable evidence that You paid the relevant authority for the sum withheld or deducted.

These terms are effective as of the Effective Date and will continue for as long as the CoSoSys Software is being provided to You under an Order Form and this License Agreement. Either party may terminate this License Agreement immediately without further notice if the other party materially breaches its obligations under this License Agreement and does not remedy such breach within thirty (30) calendar days of the date on which the breaching party receives written notice of such breach from the non-breaching party.

Customer’s unilateral decision to stop using the CoSoSys Software at any time for any reason other than exercising its rights pursuant to Section 15.1 (Termination for Cause) shall neither entitle Customer to any refund of any prepaid Fees, nor relieve Customer’s obligation to pay the Fees committed to in an Order Form, throughout the end of the contracted Term, regardless if Customer uses the CoSoSys Software or not.
15.3. EFFECTS OF TERMINATION. Upon the termination of this License Agreement for any reason: (i) the licenses and rights granted to You under this License Agreement in respect of the CoSoSys Software will terminate, and You and your End Users will immediately cease use of the CoSoSys Software; (ii) CoSoSys’ obligations to provide Support will immediately terminate; (iii) You will pay to CoSoSys the full amount of any outstanding Fees due hereunder. In no event will termination relieve You of your obligation to pay any Fees payable for the CoSoSys Software under an Order Form, invoice or similar ordering document. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE COSOSYS SOFTWARE MAY CONTAIN DISABLING CODE THAT (EITHER AUTOMATICALLY OR AT COSOSYS’ CONTROL) WILL RENDER THE COSOSYS SOFTWARE (AND RELATED DATA) UNUSABLE UPON TERMINATION OR YOUR BREACH OF THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT.

If any provision of this License Agreement is found partly or wholly illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and remaining provisions of this License Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. No failure or delay in exercising any right hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any partial exercise of any right or power hereunder preclude further exercise.

The CoSoSys Software may incorporate and consist of third-party software programs (“Open Source Software”) which You may use under the terms and conditions of the specific license under which the Open Source software is distributed, which are available here , and such Open Source Software is not licensed to You under the terms of this License Agreement. Title to Open Source Software remains with the applicable licensor(s). Any Open Source Software provided with or contained in the CoSoSys product is provided "AS IS" and without any warranty of any kind. This License Agreement does not alter any rights or obligations You may have under those open source or free software licenses. You acknowledge that, other than stated herein, CoSoSys can never be liable for any Open Source Software.
17.5. PUBLICITY. You hereby consent to CoSoSys’ inclusion of Customer’s name in a customer list, but only if Customer is not the only customer appearing on the list. Other than this, neither party may make any public statement regarding the relationship contemplated by this Agreement without the other party’s prior written consent. In case the Customer would like to be excluded from such list, Customer shall send a written notification to CoSoSys, and CoSoSys shall certify the exclusion accordingly.
17.6. FORCE MAJEURE. Neither party will be liable for inadequate performance to the extent caused by a condition (for example, natural disaster, act of war or terrorism, riot, labor condition, governmental action, and Internet disturbance) that was beyond the party’s reasonable control.
17.7. NO AGENCY. The parties are independent contractors, and this License Agreement does not create an agency, partnership or joint venture or any other form of legal association that would give either party the express or implied right, power or authority to create any duty or obligation of the other party.

Any notice, report, approval, authorization, agreement, or consent required or permitted hereunder will be in writing; notices will be sent to the address that the applicable party has or may provide by written notice or, if there is no such address, the most recent address the party giving notice can locate using reasonable efforts.
17.9. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This License Agreement and any related License Instrument are the complete and exclusive agreement between You and CoSoSys relating to the CoSoSys Software and supersedes and cancels any previous or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals, and representations with respect to its subject matter. This License Agreement prevails over any conflicting or additional terms of any purchase order, ordering document, acknowledgement or confirmation or other document issued by You, even if signed and returned. This License Agreement may be modified by a License Instrument that accompanies or follows this License Agreement. If any term of this License Agreement shall to any extent be declared invalid or unenforceable, such term or provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible to reflect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of this License Agreement shall not be affected hereby, and each term and provision of this License Agreement shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by the law. CoSoSys may amend the terms and conditions of this License Agreement at any time by notice to You.

If You and CoSoSys have signed a separate written agreement covering the licensing and use of the CoSoSys Software, the terms and conditions of such signed agreement shall take precedence over any conflicting terms and conditions of this License Agreement.
