1. Scope; Procurement and Provisioning by Affiliates; Subscription Services Users.
1.1 Scope. This End User Subscription Agreement applies to Customer’s use of the online subscription services and related online training and packaged professional services offered by Vyakar (collectively, the “Subscription Services”) that are listed in one or more Vyakar subscription-based ordering documents signed by the Parties (each an “Order”). This End User Subscription Agreement and all executed Orders, including any incorporated attachments, addenda and exhibits, are collectively referred to as the “Agreement.” All capitalized terms not defined herein will have the meanings attributed to them in the Order
1.2 Procurement and Provisioning by Affiliates. Customer may procure Subscription Services under this Agreement for its own account and on behalf of one or more Customer Affiliates (defined below). Customer is responsible for the acts and omissions of Customer Affiliates under any Order pursuant to which the Customer Affiliate receives the benefit of the Subscription Services but is not a signatory. Additionally, Customer Affiliates may procure Subscription Services directly under this Agreement pursuant to an Order executed by such Customer Affiliate and either Vyakar or a Vyakar Affiliate. Customer Affiliates who sign an Order will be deemed to be the Customer hereunder and solely responsible for its performance or non-performance thereunder. The Vyakar Affiliate who signs an Order will be deemed to be Vyakar hereunder and solely responsible for its performance or nonperformance thereunder. “Affiliate” means any legal entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with a Party, where control means the ownership of a majority share of the stock, equity or voting interests of such entity.
1.3 Subscription Services Users. During the Subscription Term set forth in each Order, Vyakar will make the Subscription Services available to Customer and its authorized Affiliates, employees, agents or contractors (“Users”), for access and use by such Users solely for Customer’s internal business purposes in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Customer is responsible for use of the Subscription Services by Users and any party who accesses the Subscription Services with Customer’s or a User’s account credentials.
2. Restrictions; Vyakar Fair Use Policy; Usage Rights; Suspension.
2.1 Restrictions. Customer will not, and will ensure that its Users do not, directly or indirectly (i) make the Subscription Services available to anyone other than Users or use the Subscription Services for the benefit of any unrelated third party; (ii) sell, resell, assign, pledge, transfer, license, sublicense, distribute, rent or lease the Subscription Services; (iii) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to discover the source code, object code or underlying structure, ideas or algorithms of the Subscription Services or any software, documentation or data related to or provided with the Subscription Services; (iv) modify, translate or create derivative works based on the Subscription Services or remove any proprietary notices or labels from the Subscription Services; (v) use or access the Subscription Services to build or support, and/or assist a third party in building or supporting products or services competitive to the Subscription Services; or (vi) include the Subscription Services in a service bureau or outsourcing offering.
2.2 Vyakar Fair Use Policy. Customer will, and will ensure that its Users, use the Subscription Services only in compliance with the Vyakar’s Fair Use Policy. As a goodwill gesture, Vyakar allows customer’s lead database to grow beyond the prescribed lead record limit, Vyakar reserves the right to review customers system usage and enforce the licensing limits if required. If Vyakar determines Customer is in violation of Fair Usage, Vyakar will notify Customer in writing (email notification sufficient) specifying such violations. Customer will have 15 days from the date of notice in which to bring its usage within the fair usage limits. If Customer fails to do so within 15 days, Vyakar has the right to charge Customer, and Customer agrees to pay, for the applicable usage tier, which will be co-termed with the Subscription Term in the applicable Order.
2.3 Suspension.

Vyakar will promptly lift the suspension upon Customer’s payment or remedy of the triggering violation, as applicable.
