End User License Agreement (EULA)

Effective starting: November 13th, 2024

SOFTWARE LICENSE

All software (Software) identified in an order form (Order), which may be provided in paper or via electronic means, that is executed by either (a) an authorized distributor (Distributor) on behalf of Scality (Licensor), or by Licensor, and (b) the party who is entitled to use the software (Licensee) are licensed (and not sold) in accordance with the Order and this EULA. Distributors must be authorized by Licensor to distribute the Software for this License to be valid. This EULA is incorporated by reference into each Order. An Order may establish prices and volume/metrics of licensed Software but may not modify this EULA unless the Order expressly states that the Order terms supersede this EULA, and such provision is separately signed by Licensor. Licensor owns and retains the exclusive right, title and interest, including intellectual property rights, in the Software and Software documentation and all Software and Software documentation and copies made thereof are licensed, not sold.

LICENSE TYPES

The Software may be licensed as a Free License, Hardware License, Perpetual License, or as a Term License. A Free License is subject to the special terms and conditions in the section “FREE LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS” below. A Hardware License means a license to the Software that is tied to a given hardware device for the usable storage capacity (as defined below) of the device measured in terabytes as specified on an Order and licensed for use on that device for the life of that device. A Perpetual License means a perpetual license to use a particular version of the Software for a specified usable storage capacity (HDD and SSD) measured in terabytes as specified on an Order. A Perpetual License does not terminate (unless Licensee breaches this EULA, any Order or any other agreement with Licensor) and is not tied to a specific hardware device, however, unless Licensee also purchase maintenance and support, does not include updates or upgrades to the Software after the end of any paid-up maintenance and support period. A Term License means a fee based license to use the Software for a specific period of time or for a specific usable storage capacity, or both, as set forth on the Order. In this EULA, the term “Commercial License” means a Hardware License, Perpetual License or a Term License.

LICENSE TERMS

Unless Licensee breaches this EULA or the Order and Licensor terminates this EULA and/or an Order, Licensor grants Licensee a worldwide, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable:
For a Hardware License: perpetual license to use the object code version of the Software on the designated hardware in the Order, for up to the usable storage capacity specified on the Order, at the location(s) set forth on the Order.
For a Term License: during the period of time set forth on an Order, license to use the object code version of the Software for up to the usable storage capacity identified on the Order Form (if the Order fails to specify a specific amount of storage the storage limit shall be one terabyte) at the location(s) set forth on the Order.
Licensee is also licensed to use and make internal copies of all Software documentation provided by Licensor solely in connection with the use of the Software as authorized above. Licensee may make internal copies of the Software solely for backup and restoration purposes but may not use such copies of the Software for live or production use, or any direct or indirect use of the Software which is in live or production use or serving its final or intended or revenue generating purpose (Production Use).
“usable storage capacity” is calculated by dividing total raw capacity used for storing data (which the total capacity of disks used to store data) by the data protection overhead ratio required to protect data on such hardware per the attached formula:
Usable storage capacity = (raw storage used to store data) / (data protection overhead ratio).
For example, for a storage with 120 disks of 20TB and ARC 9+3 :
– raw capacity is 120*20=2400TB
– data protection overhead = 12/9 = 1.33
– usable storage capacity = 2400/1.33 = 1800TB

Licensee may only use the Software on operating systems listed on the Licensor website at www.scality.com as compatible with the Software.

FREE LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Licensor may grant the right to use the Software without a fee for defined amount of usable storage capacity as defined above (the “Free Tier”). Any Free Tier will be set forth on Licensor’s website. The amount of usable storage capacity in a Free Tier may be used on only one hardware or virtual instance and may not be spread across multiple hardware or virtual instances. Licensor may change the amount of usable storage capacity for the Free Tier at any time, including terminating the Free Tier completely. While Licensee may use the Free Tier in regular production, Licensee acknowledges Licensor’s right to change or terminate the Free Tier program. If Licensor makes a change to the Free Tier, any fees and charges for use of the Software shall only accrue for the time period after the date Licensor makes the change and publishes such modification on its website. Licensor may at any time request a Licensee using the Free Tier to confirm that their usable storage capacity is at or below the then current Free Tier level, and/or to confirm their total usable storage capacity over a span of dates. Licensee shall promptly and accurately confirm its usable storage capacity for such periods requested, and if Licensor has enabled such functionality in the Software, promptly provide Licensor with any usable storage capacity reports enabled in the Software.

THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE

Licensor may distribute software owned by third parties (Third Party Software) with the Software. Third Party Software may be subject to other license terms. To the extent Licensor has the right to distribute such Third Party Software, Licensor grants Licensee all of the rights the Licensor has to Third Party Software for use in connection with the Software. Third Party Software that is not embedded into the executable Software image provided by Licensor is not “Software” in this EULA.

LIMITATIONS

Except to the extent expressly licensed as provided in this EULA and an Order, Licensee may not directly, or indirectly through another, reproduce, modify, translate or otherwise create derivative works from, rent, lease, loan or otherwise distribute, copy, decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer or attempt to reconstruct, identify or discover any source code, underlying ideas, processes or algorithms by any legal or technical means whatsoever, in respect of all or any part of the Software, Software documentation or Licensor’s Confidential Information (defined below). Licensor reserves all rights to the Software, Software documentation and Licensor Confidential Information not expressly granted herein or in an Order.

OTHER RESTRICTIONS

Unless otherwise stated in an Order or approved by Licensor in writing, Licensee may not directly or indirectly through or with another: (i) move the Software to a location other than the location set forth on the initial Order; (ii) publish or disclose any features, functionalities, attributes, results of any test or benchmarking or comparative study of, the Software or documentation or use such results or information for any software development activity; (iii) remove any product identification, proprietary, copyright or other notices contained in the Software or documentation; or (iv) use the Software on any hardware or systems environment other than those listed on the Licensor website at www.scality.com as compatible with the Software.

UPDATES AND UPGRADES

Software includes patches, updates, improvements, additions, enhancements and other modifications that may subsequently be made available to Licensee to the extent provided in an applicable Order for maintenance and support services for Commercial Licenses. Licensor makes no commitment to update, upgrade or provide support for Free Licenses. Unless otherwise provided in an Order for maintenance and support services, Licensor may determine that it will not support a particular version of Software licensed on a Commercial License basis with at least one year’s prior notice to Licensee. Acceptance and implementation of any updates and/or upgrades provided by Licensor are compulsory and may not be refused by Licensee.

ADDING STORAGE CAPACITY

Licensee shall notify Licensor of any planned increases in usable storage capacity on a Commercial License to be added to an Order before such usable storage capacity is added. Licensee shall also notify Licensor of any planned increases in usable storage capacity on a Free License where that increase will exceed the then applicable Free Tier, before such usable storage capacity is added. Licensor shall generate an Order based on such notice. Licensee shall be responsible for the Fees (at Licensor’s standard rates, if none are set forth in an Order) for such added usable storage capacity from the date of such addition regardless of whether it has notified Licensor. Licensee will provide Licensor a report of the actual usable storage capacity of the Licensee system on a quarterly basis, including a report on the new hardware introduced during the previous quarter. Licensor will “true up” accordingly the license Fees which are due on that basis and will invoice the Licensee as necessary. If a given storage device containing the Software that is licensed on a Hardware License basis is decommissioned and replaced by a new device Licensee would be required to purchase a new Hardware License for the new device.

FEES (when applicable)

This section does not apply to Orders received by the Licensor from a Third-Party (including but not limited to authorized Reseller, authorized Distributor).
Licensee shall pay to Licensor all amounts set forth in an Order in the times provided in such Order (Fees) or if no time is stated, within thirty (30) calendar days after date of an invoice issued by Licensor or a Distributor. Licensee will pay a late payment interest equal to the European Central Bank main refinancing operations rate plus ten (10) basis points per annum, on all late payment, a flat rate recovery cost in the minimum amount of €. 40 per unpaid invoice, and all other costs related to Licensor’s successful collection efforts. If Licensee fails to pay any undisputed amount when due, then in addition to assessing interest and other fees above Licensor may (a) by written notice to Licensee terminate any or all Licenses until paid; (b) suspend some or all services until paid, including maintenance and support services (including any dedicated care services); and/or (c) require reasonable payment assurances in a form satisfactory to Licensor.

TAXES (when applicable)

This section does not apply to Orders received by the Licensor from a Third-Party (including but not limited to authorized Reseller, authorized Distributor).
All amounts payable exclude all applicable value added, sales, use and other taxes and all applicable export and import fees, customs duties and similar charges. Licensee is responsible for payment of all such taxes (other than taxes based on Licensor’s income), fees, duties and charges, and any related penalties and interest, arising from the grant of the license herein and or the receipt of services from Licensor. Licensee will make all payments free and clear of and without reduction for any withholding taxes. If Licensee has an obligation to withhold any amounts Licensee will gross up the payments so that Licensor receives the amount actually quoted and invoiced. If Licensor has a legal obligation to pay or collect taxes for which Licensee is responsible under this section, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by Licensee, unless Licensee provides Licensor with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

DISPUTED INVOICES (when applicable)

This section does not apply to Orders received by the Licensor from a Third-Party (including but not limited to authorized Reseller, authorized Distributor).
If made in good faith, Licensee may dispute any amount owed so long as Licensee provides a written notice of the dispute by the due date of the invoice, including a detailed explanation of the basis for Licensee’s dispute, timely pays the undisputed portion of the invoice, and Licensee diligently works with Licensor to resolve the dispute. Properly disputed amounts are not subject to the interest and other late charges in the Fees section above, provided any amounts resolved to be due are paid within 15 calendar days of such determination. Licensee may not dispute more than three (3) months or 20% of all then outstanding invoices, whichever is greater; if Licensee does, then such failure to pay is a material breach of this EULA by Licensee.
Failure to dispute an invoice is not a waiver of any other rights in this EULA.

AUDIT

For the term of this EULA and all applicable Orders and one (1) year thereafter, (a) Licensee will maintain all books, records, contracts and accounts relating to its use of the Software, the receipt of Services, its payment of Fees and general compliance under this EULA and applicable Orders, and (b) Licensor will have the right, at its own expense and under reasonable conditions of time and place, to audit and copy any or all of such records; provided however, that in no event shall Licensor be permitted to engage in more than two (2) audits in any given calendar year. If any such audit discloses a breach of this EULA and applicable Orders or underpayment of any amounts by Licensee or its employees or agents, Licensee will, in addition to such other rights and remedies as may be available to Licensor as the result of such breach, pay to Licensor the reasonable cost of such audit and copying. Licensor will use information obtained from such audit only to verify and enforce Licensee’s compliance with the terms of this EULA and applicable Orders, to comply with any governmental reporting requirements and for such other purposes as required by law.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Each Party acknowledges that it may be furnished, receive or otherwise have access to information that is of a confidential, proprietary, or trade secret nature furnished or disclosed by one Party (the “Discloser”) to the other Party (the “Recipient”) under this EULA and applicable Orders, including information exchanged in contemplation of entering into this EULA and applicable Orders (Confidential Information) of the other Party in connection with this EULA and applicable Orders which shall remain the property of the Discloser. Each Party agrees that Confidential Information received from the other Party: (a) will only be used as necessary to achieve the purposes and objectives of this EULA and applicable Orders; (b) will not be disclosed to any third party without prior written approval of Discloser; (c) may only be disclosed within the receiving organization on a “need-to-know” basis to persons who have been advised of the existence of this EULA and applicable Orders and agree to be bound by its terms; and (d) will be treated with at least the same degree of care as Recipient treats its own Confidential Information, but in no event with less than a reasonable degree of care. Recipient will notify Discloser promptly of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information and cooperate with and assist Discloser in every reasonable way to stop or minimize such unauthorized use or disclosure. Notwithstanding the above Confidential Information will not include information that: (i) is or becomes known to the public without breach of this EULA and applicable Orders by Recipient; (ii) is already known to or in the possession of Recipient at the time of disclosure; (iii) is independently developed by or for Recipient as evidenced by Recipient’s own files and records; (iv) is rightfully obtained by Recipient from a third party that was lawfully in possession of the information and had the right to disclose the same; or (v) the Parties mutually agree in writing to release from the terms of this EULA and applicable Orders. Confidential information will not be deemed to be publicly known merely because all or a portion of such information is embodied in general disclosures or because individual features and/or components (or the combination of such features and components) are or become known to the public. A Party may disclose Confidential Information to the limited extent required (a) in order to comply with the order of a court or other governmental body, or as otherwise necessary to comply with applicable law or the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, as well as to the New York Stock Exchange and any other regulator charged with the administration, oversight or enforcement of regulations applicable to any business conducted by Licensor, provided that the Party making the disclosure pursuant to the order shall first have given written notice to the other Party and made a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order or otherwise maintain the confidentiality of the information to be disclosed; or (b) to establish a Party’s rights under this EULA and applicable Orders, including to make such court filings as it may be required to do.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnitor shall not settle any third-party claim unless such settlement completely and forever releases the indemnitee with respect thereto or unless the indemnitee provides its prior written consent to such settlement. The indemnitee may participate in such defense at its own expense by counsel of its choice. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensor does not agree and will not indemnify Licensee in respect of any Free License.

LIMIT OF LIABILITY

With respect to Commercial Licenses Licensor will be liable to Licensee (or any affiliate of Licensee) only for the amount of Licensee’s actual direct damages, not to exceed (in the aggregate for all claims) the amount paid by Licensee to Licensor for the specifically deployed Software that caused the liability and is the subject of the claim. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensor will not be liable in damages for any claim arising from any use of a Free License by Licensee; Licensee’s sole and exclusive remedy for any claim relating to a Free License is to terminate use of the Software licensed under the Free License. In no event will Licensor’s aggregate liability for all claims arising under or relating to any single Order exceed the total amount paid to Licensor by Licensee pursuant to such Order for the twelve (12) months prior to month in which the event giving rise to liability occurred under such Order. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO (A) BREACHES OF LICENSEE’S OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN THE SECTION “CONFIDENTIALITY” AND THE SECTION “INDEMNITY”; AND (B) DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE TO LICENSEE’S MISAPPROPRIATION, VIOLATION OR INFRINGEMENT OF LICENSOR’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY, OR LICENSOR’S SUPPLIERS, BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY LOST PROFITS, DAMAGES RESULTING FROM LOSS OF DATA, SECURITY BREACH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOST REVENUE, LOST SAVINGS OR LOSS OF BUSINESS) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS EULA, THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE OR LICENSOR’S PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES OR OF ANY OTHER OBLIGATIONS RELATING TO THIS EULA, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. The limitations of liability set forth in this Section will survive and apply notwithstanding the failure of any limited or exclusive remedy for breach of warranty set forth in this EULA and applicable Orders.

Example:  8 hrs (1 day) of Professional Services  are performed on a Saturday.  This constitutes use of 2 days of Professional Services.
  • For Orders up to 20 Professional Services days, the days will expire twelve (12) months after the date Licensee or Third-Party sends the Order.
  • For Orders of 21 Professional Services days or more, the days will expire twenty four (24) months after the date Licensee or Third-Party sends the Order.
  • There are no refunds of prepaid, unused Professional Services fees.

One Day of service includes eight (8) Hours. Service hours are billed in not less than 2 hour blocks – meaning that any Service hour started will count for two (2) Hours, regardless of whether the actual amount of time spent after Service commencement was 2 hours.

No deliverables are included within the scope of T&M Services. The overall responsibility regarding the successful use of Licensor technology and products by Licensee rests with the Licensee.

  1. Professional Services based on a Fixed Price (Fixed Price Services)

Fixed Price Services will be performed to assist Licensee with predefined operations as stated in Licensor’s Services catalog and are subject to the following:

  • Fixed Price Services will be performed during Licensor’s Business Days and Hours. Any work performed outside of such Business Days and Hours must be discussed and approved by Licensor in advance, at Licensor’s sole and absolute discretion.
  • The Fixed Price Service will expire twelve (12) months after the date Licensee or Third-Party sends the Order.
  • Fixed Price Services are based upon reasonable and prompt responsiveness and cooperation from Licensee, and Licensee performing in all material respects, all Licensee Responsibilities set out herein and in any Order for Professional Services. If Licensee fails to promptly respond and otherwise reasonably cooperate in completion of the Fixed Price Services, after notice by Licensor, such engagement may be converted to a T&M Services and billed as such.
