AN INDIVIDUAL ACTING ON BEHALF OF AN ENTITY REPRESENTS THAT HE OR SHE HAS THE AUTHORITY TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF THAT ENTITY. IF CLIENT DOES NOT ACCEPT THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, THEN IT MUST NOT USE Humanus SOFTWARE OR SERVICES.
This Humanus Enterprise Agreement, including all referenced appendices and documents located at URLs (the “Agreement”), is between Bran Systems, S.A. (“Humanus”) and the purchaser or user of Humanus software and services who accepts the terms of this Agreement (“Client”). The effective date of this Agreement (“Effective Date”) is the earlier of the date that Client signs or accepts this Agreement or the date that Client uses Humanus' software or services.
1. Scope of Agreement
1.1 Framework. This Agreement establishes a framework that will enable Humanus to provide Software and Services to Client. “Software” means Humanus Enterprise Software, Jun and other software programs branded by Humanus, its Affiliates and/or third parties including all modifications, additions or further enhancements delivered by Humanus. The specific services (the “Services”) and/or Software that Humanus will provide to Client will be described in an Order Form, signed by the parties or otherwise accepted by Humanus, which may consist of (a) one or more mutually agreed order forms, statements of work, work orders or similar transaction documents, or (b) an order placed by Client through Humanus' online store accessible from a Humanus website. The parties agree that the terms of this Agreement will govern all purchases and use by Client of Software and Services unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing.
1.2 Affiliates. Humanus and Client agree that Affiliates of Client may acquire Software and Services from Humanus or its Affiliates by entering an Order Form with Humanus (or a Humanus Affiliate) that incorporates the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that adjustments to the terms of this Agreement may be made in a particular Order Form (for example, to address disparate tax and/or legal regimes in other geographic regions). “Affiliate” means an entity that owns or controls, is owned or controlled by, or is under common control or ownership with a party, where “control” is the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of an entity, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.
1.3 Business Partners. Humanus has entered into agreements with other organizations (“Business Partners”) to promote, market and support certain Software and Services. When Client purchases Software and Services through a Business Partner, Humanus confirms that it is responsible for providing the Software and Services to Client under the terms of this Agreement. Humanus is not responsible for (a) the actions of Business Partners, (b) any additional obligations Business Partners have to Client, or (c) any products or services that Business Partners supply to Client under any separate agreements between a Business Partner and Client.
2. Obligations of the Parties
2.1 On-Site Obligations. If Humanus personnel are working on Client's premises (a) Client will provide a safe and secure working environment for Humanus personnel, and (b) Humanus will comply with all reasonable workplace safety and security standards and policies, applicable to Client's employees, of which Humanus is notified in writing by Client in advance.
2.2 Changes to Work and Delays. Changes to the Services will be made only through a written change order signed by both parties. In the event that (a) Client fails to timely fulfill its obligations under an Order Form, and this failure adversely impacts the provision of Services, or (b) events outside of either party's reasonable control cause a delay in or otherwise affect Humanus' ability to perform its obligations under an Order Form, Humanus will be entitled to appropriate relief, including adjusting the timing of its delivery of applicable Services.
2.3 Assistance. Client may provide Humanus access to Client information, systems, and software (“Client Information”), and resources such as workspace, network access, and telephone connections as reasonably required by Humanus in order to provide the Services. Client understands and agrees that (a) the completeness, accuracy of, and extent of access to, any Client Information provided to Humanus may affect Humanus' ability to provide Services, and (b) if reasonable access to Client Information is not provided, Humanus will be relieved from providing any Services dependent upon such access. Client will obtain any third party consents necessary to grant Humanus access to the Client Information that is subject to the proprietary rights of, or controlled by, any third party, or which is subject to any other form of restriction upon disclosure.
3. Payment
3.1 Fees and Expenses. Fees for the Services (the “Fees”) will be identified in an Order Form and are (a) due upon Humanus' acceptance of an Order Form or, for renewal of Services, at the start of the renewal term, and (b) payable in accordance with Section 3.2. Fees are stated in United States Dollars, must be paid in United States Dollars, and, unless otherwise specified in writing, do not include out-of-pocket expenses or shipping costs. Client will reimburse Humanus for all reasonable expenses Humanus incurs in connection with the performance of Services. Client agrees to pay Humanus the applicable Fees for each Unit. “Unit” is the measurement of Software or Service usage defined in the applicable Order Form. Any renewal of Subscription Services will be at the same price per Unit listed in the applicable Order Form. “Subscription Services” mean fee-bearing subscriptions for a defined period of time for a certain scope of Services.
3.2 Invoices
3.2.1 If Client desires credit terms with respect to the payment of Fees, Client will reasonably cooperate with Humanus in establishing and periodically re-confirming Client's credit-worthiness. If credit terms are provided to Client, Humanus will invoice Client for the Fees upon Humanus' acceptance of the applicable Order Form and upon acceptance of any future order. Unless otherwise specified in an Order Form and subject to Humanus' approval of credit terms, Client will pay Fees and expenses, if any, no later than thirty (30) days from the date of each invoice; provided, however, that Fees for professional services, training, training credits and other service credits are due prior to delivery. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any and all payments made by Client pursuant to this Agreement are non-refundable. Humanus reserves the right to suspend or cancel performance of all or part of the Services and/or change its credit terms if actual payment has not been received within thirty (30) days of the invoice date.
3.2.2 If Client is paying by credit card, Client (a) authorizes Humanus to charge Client's credit card for the Services and for the amount due at the time of renewal of Subscription Services, and (b) agrees to provide updated credit card information to Humanus for renewal purposes.
3.3 Taxes. All Fees are exclusive of Taxes. Client will pay Humanus an amount equal to any Taxes arising from or relating to this Agreement or an applicable Order Form which are paid by or are payable by Humanus. “Taxes” means any form of sales, use, value added or other form of taxation and any fines, penalties, surcharges or interest, but excluding any taxes based solely on the net income of Humanus. If Client is required to withhold or deduct any portion of the payments due to Humanus, Client will increase the sum payable to Humanus by the amount necessary so that Humanus receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had Client made no withholdings or deductions.

Any such inspection will take place only during Client's normal business hours and upon no less than ten (10) days prior written notice from Humanus. Humanus will give Client written notice of any noncompliance, including the number of underreported Units of Software or Services, and Client will have fifteen (15) days from the date of this notice to make payment to Humanus for the applicable Services provided with respect to the underreported Units.
