1. CUSTOMER’S USERS. Customer agrees that it is responsible for all individual users who access and/or use the Product through Customer’s corporate account (such individuals are referred to herein as “End Users”). Accordingly, the terms, conditions, restrictions and obligations of this Agreement applicable to Customer (excluding Customer’s payment obligations to Smartconnect) shall be construed to also apply to all End Users, and Customer shall be liable for any breach hereof by any End Users. Each End User is entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account, password, and account information.
2. SERVERS INSTALLED WITH SOFTWARE CREATED BY SMARTCONNECT; ACCESS TO CONTACT CENTER SERVERS
Smartconnect will have access to the servers on which software, created by Smartconnect, is installed for administrative and proactive and reactive maintenance. Smartconnect will also have access to the contact center servers for license purposes.
3. CUSTOMER CONDUCT. Customer is solely responsible for the contents of its transmissions through the Product. Smartconnect reserves the right to take any action with respect to the installed Product that Smartconnect deems necessary or appropriate in Smartconnect’s sole discretion if Smartconnect believes Customer or its information may create liability for Smartconnect. Customer agrees: (a) to comply with all applicable law regarding the transmission of technical data through the installed Product; (b) not to use the Product for illegal purposes; (c) not to use the Product to infringe any third party’s copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights or rights of publicity or privacy; and (d) not to transmit through the Product any unlawful, harassing, libelous, abusive, threatening, harmful, vulgar, obscene or otherwise objectionable material of any kind or nature.
4. PRIVACY POLICY. Smartconnect is dedicated to establishing trusting relationships with its customers, based on respect for personal identity and information. A current copy of Smartconnect’s Privacy Policy is available at the Smartconnect website and is incorporated herein by reference. If Smartconnect decides to change its Privacy Policy, Smartconnect will notify Customer’s Administrator via email and post a revised Privacy Policy on its website. If any Privacy Policy change materially and adversely impacts Customer and Customer desires to object to the change, within fourteen (14) days of the effective date of the modification Customer must provide Smartconnect a written notice of objection, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for Customer’s objection. Failure to deliver such notice within such fourteen (14) day period will be deemed acceptance to the Privacy Policy as modified. If mutual resolution is not achieved within thirty (30) days from the date Smartconnect receives Customer’s notice of objection, then the previous version of the Privacy Policy, without the objected to change, will remain in effect as to Customer.
5. SOFTWARE LICENSES.
a. Licenses. Smartconnect hereby grants to Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license (i) to use the Software, during the term of this Agreement to install the Software in object code form on Customer’s computers identified in writing by both Parties (e.g. on an Order Form) and on any new or replacement subsequently identified by both Parties in writing; and (ii) to use the Software solely in support of Customer’s use of the services offered by Smartconnect under this Agreement. Customer has no right to install or use any Software on computers or devices which have not been agreed upon in writing between the Parties prior to such installation or use or for any purpose which has not been agreed upon in advance and in writing by Smartconnect. There are no implied licenses that flow from this license. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Software is provided as a license and not a sale and Customer receives no rights other than those specifically granted to Customer herein.
b. Ownership and Use of Software. Smartconnect retains all right, title and interest in and to the Software. The Software and all parts thereof are the subject matter of various proprietary rights, including without limitation copyrights, trade secrets, patents and other similar intellectual and industrial property rights (“Proprietary Rights”). No license, right or interest in any trademark, trade name or service mark of Smartconnect or any third party is granted under the licenses contained in this Section. Customer acknowledges that these licenses shall in no way be construed to provide an express or implied license to modify or improve any of the content of the Software, including without limitation any works, inventions, discoveries, technology or other items which are the subject matter of Smartconnect’s Proprietary Rights, or otherwise to use or exploit the Software or the Proprietary Rights in any matter not expressly permitted herein.

Customer is further prohibited from modifying or translating any part of the Software and from creating any derivative works, functionally equivalent works, or translations based upon the Software.
d. Termination. Customer’s license to the Software will automatically terminate without notice upon expiration or termination of this Agreement. All licenses to the Software will terminate immediately without notice from Smartconnect if Customer or any of its End Users fails to comply with any provision of this Section, but if such violation relates only to a single End User, then the licenses will not terminate as to the Customer and its other End Users so long as Customer cures the violation within ten (10) business days following the earlier of knowledge of the violation or receipt of written notice from Smartconnect regarding the violation. Upon termination, Customer must cease all use of the Software and return or destroy all copies of the Software.
