Section 2 – Licenses
2.1 SaaS License – for Licensed Software.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Client’s compliance therewith, ETI grants to Client a non-exclusive, non-transferrable, limited-term license for Client through its Authorized Users to access and use the Licensed Software, but only for Client’s internal use for its business (the “SaaS License”) and not for the development or design of any other software, product or solution. The Licensed Software will run on ETI Servers (defined below). The Authorized Users will access and use the Licensed Software from Client’s Computers or Mobile Devices (defined below) via the Internet through compatible web browsing software on Client’s Computers or Mobile Device.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Client’s compliance therewith, ETI grants to Client a non-exclusive, non-transferrable, limited-term license for Client through its Authorized Users to access and use Methodology and Documentation, but only for Client’s internal use for its business.
2.3 The Licenses.
The “SaaS License” and the “Methodology and Documentation License” are collectively referred to herein as the “Licenses” and each as a “License”. The Licenses are limited to Client’s internal use and Client may not use and is not licensed to use, any Licensed Software, Documentation, Methodology or Services for any other purpose or in any manner or application that is in violation of any law, regulation, ordinance, or government authority, or in violation or breach of any obligation Client may have to a third party, or for any unethical purpose. Rights not expressly granted to the Client are reserved by ETI.
2.4 ETI Servers.
“ETI Servers” means the server(s) and any other computer(s), storage media, hardware, and system(s) selected or designated by ETI for the storage and execution of the Licensed Software for the purpose of allowing Client (through its Authorized Users) access to and use of such Licensed Software via the Internet under the SaaS License. ETI Servers are not dedicated exclusively to the Licensed Software or Client. ETI Servers may be located at ETI’s and/or its contractor’s site(s).
2.5 Client’s Computers or Mobile Devices.
ETI is not responsible for the Client’s Computers or Mobile Devices.
2.6 Responsibilities of ETI.
ETI is responsible for the procurement and maintenance and server-side Internet access of the ETI Servers and the Licensed Software. ETI is also responsible for any operating system and other third-party software needed to run the Licensed Software on the ETI Servers. ETI or its contractor, not the Client, owns and holds the licenses to such third-party software. ETI (directly or through its contractor) will contract with the applicable third-party software licensors for software maintenance and updates and new versions as ETI deems appropriate. ETI will determine which updates and new versions of the third-party software will be installed on the ETI Servers and when they are installed.
2.7 Responsibilities of Client.
Client, at its expense, is responsible for procuring, installing, implementing, and maintaining Client’s Computers or Mobile Devices (including system software or apps), compatible web browsing software, Internet access, data feeds, telecommunications, networks, peripherals, and any other items and services needed by Client’s Computers or Mobile Devices and Authorized Users to access (via the Internet) the Licensed Software running on ETI Servers and Client Data resident on the ETI Servers. The Client may consult with ETI concerning these requirements and on any upgrades or changes needed to remain compatible with the Licensed Software.
2.8 Licensed Software Updates and New Versions.
The SaaS License and Licensed Software includes any Licensed Software Updates (see Section 5.2) that ETI installs on the ETI Servers for inclusion in the SaaS License. All such Licensed Software Updates will become part of the Licensed Software. Client’s rights and License will only apply to the then-most-current version of the Licensed Software installed on, and available to Client’s Authorized Users from, the ETI Servers, but will not include any functionality or features of Licensed Software not included in the subscription or payment plan paid for by Client. Prior or outdated versions of the Licensed Software may be discontinued by ETI. ETI has no obligation to include in the SaaS License or Licensed Software or make available for access and use by Client, any future functionality, modules, or products that ETI elects to separately license or provide to its customers. ETI may condition the inclusion and availability of such future functionality, modules, or products on the payment of additional fees and/or on other conditions and terms. If the Client agrees to pay such additional fees and agrees to such other conditions and terms, if any, then that future functionality, module, or product will be included in the SaaS License and will be Licensed Software under and subject to this Agreement.
2.9 No Rights to Code.
Client and Authorized Users are not entitled to receive any copy of any of the Licensed Software in any form (source code, object code, executable code, or other forms). The SaaS License is strictly limited to remote access via the Internet as described in this Agreement. In the event that Client or any Authorized User does receive any of the Licensed Software, Client and Authorized Users will not decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer any of the Licensed Software, or distribute or publish any copy of any of it, or modify it or create any derivative work based on it, or in any way facilitate any of the foregoing. Nothing in this Section 2.9 prohibits Client’s Authorized Users from receiving or displaying on Client’s Computers or Mobile Devices any screen displays, content, or output “served up” by the licensed use of the Licensed Software under the SaaS License.
2.10 Documentation.
Documentation may be copied and used internally by the Client, but only to facilitate the licensed use of the Licensed Software and Methodology. The Client will treat all Documentation as confidential information and copyrighted works of ETI. The Client will not disclose or transfer Documentation to any person other than to Client’s employees and Consultants (as defined in Section 7.4) on a confidential and “need-to-know” basis. Those employees and Consultants must be under confidentiality and restricted use obligations at least as protective of ETI and the ETI Capataz as are the confidentiality and restricted use provisions of this Agreement.

These Terms of Service (this Agreement) may be changed or replaced by a new Terms of Service by ETI by giving Client at least three months’ advance notice of the new Terms of Service. Any access to or use of any Licensed Software by, or on behalf of Client after that three month period will constitute Client’s acceptance of and agreement to the new Terms of Service. If the new Terms of Service are unacceptable to Client, then Client may decline to accept and agree to the new Terms of Service by not accessing or using the Licensed Software after that three month period, in which case Client will give notice thereof to ETI and the Licenses will terminate.
