Agreement to Terms.

By clicking "Accept", you agree to be bound by the Terms of this Licensing Agreement.  By agreeing to be bound by this Licensing Agreement, you further agree that your organization, and any persons you authorize to use the App and/or Services, will comply with the Terms of this Licensing Agreement.

Changes to Terms or Services.

Argis may modify these Terms at any time. If we do so, we will notify you by posting the modified Terms on the Argis website at www.argis.com ("Site"), in the App, or through the Services, or through other written communications. It’s important that you review the Terms whenever we modify them, because if you continue to use the App or Services after we communicate them to you, you are agreeing to be bound by the modified Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by the modified Terms, then you may no longer use the App or Services. Because our App and Services evolve over time, we may change or discontinue all or any part of the App or Services at any time and without notice.

Rights in License.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Argis hereby grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sub-licensable license to install the App and to access any Services which you have licensed. You are solely responsible for providing all applicable hardware and/or any third-party software or required installation and configuration services required for the operation of the App and Services. You will neither make nor allow to be made any copies of the App or Services by you or any third party.

Argis incurs no obligation under this Agreement to provide any customization or consultation concerning the App or Services. Argis may, in its sole discretion, provide you with certain support free of charge to assist your use of the Services or App. Provision of any such support will not subject Argis to any liability which it would not have otherwise had under this Agreement.

In the event of any material breach of this Agreement, including failure to tender full consideration as indicated, you expressly agree to pay Argis as a liquidated damage, and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the Argis list price multiplied by the number of Licenses granted to you under the terms of this agreement.

Survival.

The provisions of this Agreement which by their nature are intended to survive the termination of this Agreement shall survive.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision will be fully severable and this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision never comprised a part hereof and the remaining provisions of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance here from.  Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as part of this Agreement, a provision as similar in its terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be reasonably possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party against whom it is sought to be enforced.  The delay or failure by Argis to exercise or enforce any of its rights under this Agreement shall not constitute or be deemed a waiver of its right thereafter to enforce those rights, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

Audit Rights.

Argis (including any third-party auditor retained by Argis) may audit the usage of the License’s Software Licenses (excluding any access to your data) to ensure compliance with the terms of this Agreement.  Argis will notify you in writing at least ten (10) business days prior to any such audit.  Any such audit will be conducted during your regular business hours at your location and will not interfere unreasonably with your business activities.  Argis may audit you no more than once in any three (3) month period. Argis reserves the right to receive at a minimum the full list price for the cost of any underpaid licenses, without waiving its right to demand additional compensation for any continuation of this Agreement, if unpaid licenses are discovered in the course of an audit.

Governing Laws.

This agreement is governed by laws of Colorado, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.  The jurisdictional venue for any proceedings involving this Agreement shall be a court of competent jurisdiction located in Arapahoe County, Colorado (United States).

Entire Agreement.

This Agreement contains the entire understanding between Argis and you with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous negotiations and agreements, oral or written, between them regarding the subject matter hereof.  This Agreement shall not be supplemented or modified by any course of dealing or usage of trade.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement may not be modified or amended except in writing signed by both parties. Both Argis and you shall be considered joint authors of this Agreement and no rules of construction shall be invoked concerning this Agreement, its provisions or the interpretation thereof.  All language of this Agreement shall be interpreted consistent with the ordinary and reasonable meaning of the words used.  No prior transactions or dealings between the parties shall be deemed to establish any custom or usage waiving or modifying any provision hereof.  The making, execution, and delivery of this Agreement by Argis and you have been induced by no representations, statements, warranties, disclaimers, limitations or agreements other than those expressed herein. Any rights not expressly herein are reserved.
