This Agreement is entered into on the earlier of, (a) Customer clicking “Agree”, "Accept" or “Yes” to the terms of this Agreement to gain initial access to, or use of, the Software and Subscription Services, (b) the date set forth in an Order Form executed between HeroDevs and Customer referencing this Agreement, or (c) Customer is given access to the Software (“Effective Date”). Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by HeroDevs, all use of the Software and Subscription Services shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement.
1. SCOPE OF THE AGREEMENT
1.1 This Agreement establishes the terms and conditions which shall govern Customers use of the HeroDevs Drupal 7 Basic Edition Subscription Services (as defined herein). For the avoidance of doubt, the term "Subscription Services" (as used within this Agreement) shall only apply to the HeroDevs Drupal 7 Basic Edition Software, referred to herein as the Software.
1.2 Other than the HeroDevs Drupal 7 Basic Edition Software, Customer acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement shall not apply with respect to any other HeroDevs offering.
2. THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES
2.1 HeroDevs provides a separately maintained and modified version of the Community Software (defined below)(the “Software”). The Software is not provided as a Software-as-a Service (SaaS), and HeroDevs does not require, nor desire to receive, any direct, remote or other access to Customer’ system(s) and/or environment(s).
2.2 As part of the services offering, HeroDevs provides access to updates, compatibility and security fixes, and other support services with respect to the Software, as set forth in the attached Drupal 7 Basic Edition Appendix 1 (the “Services”). The provision of Software and Services shall collectively be referred to as the “Subscription Services”. HeroDevs Subscription Services may be referred to as “Never-Ending Support” or “NES”.
2.3 Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Services are provided solely with respect to the Software, and do not include any right by Customer to use the Services for the publicly available Drupal 7 community software (the “Community Software”).
2.4 Customer further acknowledges and agrees that HeroDevs has no obligation to provide the Subscription Services or any other support for the Community Software. With respect to the Services, and HeroDevs obligations set forth herein, such obligations shall only extend to the Software during an active Subscription Term, and not the Community Software.
2.5 The details of the Subscription Services to be provided under this Agreement, and the definition(s) of Units, are set forth in the attached Drupal 7 Basic Edition Appendix 1.
3. ORDERING
3.1 Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, the terms of the Order Form and this Agreement, of which it is a part, shall govern the use and provision of the Subscription Services. This shall include any purchase(s) made from a third party reseller of HeroDevs (a “Partner”).
3.2 The purchase of Subscription Services shall take place through, (i) the HeroDevs website portal (“Web-Portal”), (ii) a HeroDevs Partner, or (iii) entering into a written order form between Customer and HeroDevs that sets forth the applicable Subscription Services, term, price, currency, Unit quantity (e.g., number of Users) and any other applicable transaction details (“Order Form”). Such Order Form shall be executed by representatives of each party that have the authority to enter into agreements. In the event the Subscription Services are purchased via the Web-Portal, or a HeroDevs Partner, Customer shall be required to enter into and agree to this Agreement. HeroDevs obligations to Customer shall at all times be those set forth in this Agreement. Unless otherwise specifically stated herein, reference(s) to Order Form(s) within this Agreement shall include Customer purchases via the Web-Portal.
3.3 Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, all fees (“Fees”) stated in an Order Form shall be due and payable in United States Dollars, net thirty (30) days upon Customer’s receipt of invoice (“Payment Term”). Any Fees not paid during the Payment Term shall be subject to a half percent (.5%) interest per month, or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower. With the exception of termination as set forth in Section 7.5 (Term & Termination), all Fees are non-refundable. With respect to Web-Portal purchases, all Fees shall be due and payable immediately.
3.4 In the event Customer fails to render payment during the Payment Term, and an additional thirty (30) days has elapsed, HeroDevs may (at its sole discretion), and in addition to any available rights at law and equity, (i) suspend the provision of Subscription Services, or (ii) terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.5.
3.5 Customer shall be responsible for any taxes, duties, and customs fees associated with the purchase of the Subscription Services (“Tax(es)”), excluding taxes based solely on HeroDevs’ income. For the avoidance of doubt, all Fees are exclusive of applicable Taxes, and in the event HeroDevs is obligated to pay or otherwise collect Taxes on behalf of Customer, Customer will be invoiced for such amount(s) in addition to the Fees stated on the Order Form, unless Customer provides a valid tax exemption certificate. Customer shall provide a valid tax exemption certificate to HeroDevs in writing and in advance of the execution of an Order Form.
3.6 The Subscription Services shall be provided based upon the applicable Unit Definition detailed in Drupal 7 Basic Edition Appendix 1 (the “Units”). At all times during the Subscription Term, and as required to receive the Subscription Services, Customer shall purchase (and maintain) the same quantity of Units for Subscription Services as are deployed or used by Customer.
4. ADDITIONAL UNITS AND SERVICES
4.1 During the Subscription Term, Customer may, subject to this Agreement, activate and use Add-On Services. “Add-On Services” are additional Units, or additional HeroDevs Offerings, in excess of those that have been purchased. Add-On Services shall be co-termed to the underlying Subscription Term.
4.2 Upon HeroDevs request, Customer shall, (i) provide a report no later than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the annual Subscription Term of all Subscription Services (including Add-On Services) used or deployed during said Subscription Term (“Annual Report”), and (ii) be obligated to pay for such Add-On Services used during the previous twelve (12) month Subscription Term. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer shall not have the right to report less than the number of Units originally purchased. Additional Units captured in the Annual Report shall be pro-rated and priced at the same cost as the original Subscription Services. Net-new HeroDevs Offerings shall be pro-rated and priced at the then current list price. HeroDevs shall provide Customer with the necessary right(s) and mechanism(s) to enable Customer to generate the Annual Report. Upon receipt of the Annual Report, HeroDevs shall invoice Customer the applicable Fees, which will be paid in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement.
4.3 In the event an Annual Report is not provided, (i) all Add-On Services used or deployed by Customer shall not include any pro-ration, set-off or deduction to account for term of use, or otherwise, and (ii) such Add-On Services shall be priced at the then current list-price.

8. CONFIDENTIALITY
8.1 “Confidential Information” means non-public, proprietary, business, technical, security, legal, or financial information that is either marked or identified as Confidential Information or would reasonably be understood to be confidential, including source code, processes, services, trade secrets, marketing and business plans, client lists, financial information, system architecture, security programs, and intellectual property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) the receiving party possesses without a duty to keep confidential prior to acquiring it from the disclosing party; (b) is or becomes publicly available through no violation of this Agreement by the receiving party; (c) is given to the receiving party by a third-party not under a confidentiality obligation to the disclosing party; or (d) is developed by the receiving party independently of, and without reliance on, confidential or proprietary information provided by the disclosing party.

The receiving party may only use the Confidential Information as provided for in this Agreement or to exercise its rights hereunder and may only share this Confidential Information with its employees, agents, advisors and service providers who need to know it, provided they are subject to similar confidentiality obligations. The receiving party will use the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, as such party uses with respect to its own Confidential Information to protect the disclosing party’s Confidential Information and to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure thereof. If the receiving party is compelled by law to disclose the other party’s Confidential Information, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to give the disclosing party prior written notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the disclosing party’s cost, if the disclosing party wishes to contest the disclosure.Whenever any Confidential Information must be disclosed in any legal proceeding, the disclosing party shall use reasonable efforts to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such Confidential Information.
8.3 The Confidential Information shall be protected by each party, as set forth herein, for a period of no less than three (3) years after it was first received; provided that, any Confidential Information which qualifies as a trade secret shall be treated as confidential as described in Section 8.2 above until such time that is no longer confidential.
8.4 Each party acknowledges that any breach, threatened or actual, of this Section 8 may cause irreparable injury to the other party for which there may not be an adequate remedy at law.

In the event Customer requires additional support for direct (or indirect) Software dependencies, (i) an additional Subscription may be required, and (ii) HeroDevs, in its sole discretion, may support such dependencies as necessary for production use of the Software. For the purposes of clarity, HeroDevs will have no obligation to render Subscription Services to any development dependencies that are not required for production use of the Software in materially the same manner in which the Community Software was deployed prior to it no longer being supported.
