This End Customer License for DVS Software and Services Agreement (this “End Customer Agreement“) states the terms, conditions, and restrictions for DVS Analytics, Inc. (“DVS“) software licenses and related services purchased from DVS or DVS’ authorized reseller (a “Reseller“). The DVS customer or the Reseller’s customer is referred to in this End Customer Agreement as the “End Customer.”
DVS licenses to End Customer the executable version of the general commercial release of the DVS’ workforce optimization software and related software and user documentation (the “DVS Software”) described in the End Customer’s Order with DVS or Reseller (the “Order”) on the terms, conditions, and restrictions stated in the Order and this End Customer Agreement. The term “Order” includes a DVS or Reseller proposal or quote that has been accepted by End Customer by issuance of a purchase order or other purchase of the licenses and services described in the proposal or quote. The license is non-exclusive. The license term is either perpetual or is a subscription license having an initial term as stated in the Order. If the Order is silent as to the license term, the DVS Software is licensed on a subscription basis having an initial term of one month. The license is worldwide subject to applicable export laws. The license is conditioned on End Customer’s compliance with use limits stated in the Order such as number of phone lines, number of users, number of computers on which it may be installed, or other metric. End Customer may sublicense the DVS Software to its contractors for their use in support of Customer’s operations subject to all of the terms, conditions, and restrictions of this license. The license is suspended or terminated on suspension or termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 7 (Suspension, Termination) below and is automatically terminated by End Customer’s failure to comply with the license conditions and restrictions stated in this Section. The license may not be transferred or assigned except as part of an assignment of the End Customer Agreement permitted by Section 8 (Assignment). End Customer may use the DVS Software only for its internal business purposes; it may not resell the DVS Software license or use the DVS Software to provide services to others. End Customer may not: (i) if End Customer has purchased the license from a Reseller, use the DVS Software other than as part of its use of the Reseller offering, (ii) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the DVS Software except as permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this limitation and then on at least thirty (30) days advance written notice to DVS; (iii) modify or create derivative works of the DVS Software; (iv) use the DVS Software for the purpose of developing a competing technology; (v) publish any benchmarking or other performance analysis of the DVS Software without DVS’s advance written consent; (vi) make copies of the DVS Software except as reasonably incident to End Customer’s permitted use of the DVS Software; (vii) remove any copyright or other proprietary rights notices that appear on or within the DVS Software; or (viii) use the DVS Software in any situation where failure or fault of the DVS Software could lead to death or serious bodily injury of any person or damage to tangible property or environmental damage. The DVS Software is DVS’ confidential and proprietary information and may not be disclosed to any person except as reasonably necessary for End Customer’s licensed use of the DVS Software and subject to all of the terms, conditions and restrictions of this license.
The DVS Software may include code that is licensed under open source software licenses. The “read me” or “help” or similar files included with the DVS Software describe any open source software that is included and related license terms, attributions, copyright notices, and other required information. To the extent there is a conflict between the terms of the license for any open source software and this End Customer Agreement, the open source license shall control as to the software covered by that license.
If the Order includes DVS’ implementation, software assurance, support, training, customization, or other services (the “Services”) DVS shall provide those Services on the terms, conditions and restrictions stated in the Order, this End Customer Agreement, and the DVS services policies provided to End Customer. DVS has no obligation to provide updates, enhancements, bug fixes, error corrections, technical assistance, or other maintenance, support, or services in connection with the DVS Software except for those Services expressly described in the Order.

If these limitations as written are not permitted by applicable law, they shall apply to the extent permitted by applicable law.
DVS may suspend or terminate this End Customer Agreement for End Customer’s breach of this End Customer Agreement or the Order. Customer may not use the DVS Software or Services during a suspension.
