|
Basis of terms
|
2.1 |
These Terms are framework terms further to which the parties may enter into a Licence Quote in
respect of Services to be provided by the Licensor to the Licensee. The parties may also, from time
to time after the Licence Quote enter into additional quotes (whether in online, electronic or
printed form) in respect of:
(a) |
additional Licensee Developers, Production Environment(s) and/or to add on a Single
Application Developer Licence, Multiple Applications Developer Licence and/or Deployment
Licence Add-On in excess of the terms set outin the Licence Quote (together referred to
as "Additional Usage"); or
|
(b) |
a renewed period of Support Services, |
|
(each an "Additional Quote"). |
|
2.2 |
Each such Licence Quote and Additional Quote (together referred to as "Quotes" and
a reference to a "Quote" shall refer to a Licence Quote or Additional Quote, as
applicable), once agreed in accordance with clause
2.3, shall constitute a separate
contract for the provision of the Services specified in such Quote, incorporating these Terms.
|
2.3 |
The Licensor will only provide Services to the Licensee further to a Quote. No Quote shall be
binding on either party unless and until agreed by both parties.
|
2.4 |
All Quotes entered into with the Licensee will be subject to the terms set out in these Terms. No
terms or conditions endorsed upon, delivered with or contained in any quotation, estimate,
correspondence, acknowledgement or acceptance of order or any similar document issued by the
Licensee shall form part of any contract between the Licensor and the Licensee.
|
2.5 |
The purchase of Additional Usage will entitle the Licensee to the provision of extended Support
Services for a period of 1 year from the relevant Quote Effective Date (or such other period as
expressly set out in any Quote).
|
2.6 |
In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of these Terms and the terms of any
Quote, the terms of the relevant Quote shall prevail only to the extent of any such conflict or
inconsistency.
|
3.
|
Provision of Software Materials and Support Services
|
3.1 |
The Licensor shall make the Software Materials available in Source Code form at
https://github.com/ag-grid/ag-grid on the first Quote Effective Date by provision of an activation
key and anylogin details required to access the Software Materials), subject to payment of the Fees.
|
3.2 |
Subject to clauses 3.3 and
3.4 below, the Licensor grants to the
Licensee and its Affiliates a worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable,
non-sublicensable, royalty-free licence (in the form of a Single Application and/or Multiple
Applications Developer Licence), commencing on the relevant Quote Effective Date, to permit Licensee
Developers to use the Software Materials (including taking all the actions permitted by clause
3.4 below) in accordance with these
Terms, subject to the limit on the number of permitted Licensee Developers set out in the relevant
Quote. Members within the group of Licensee Developers can be replaced with alternative members as
long as the number of concurrent Licensee Developers at any time does not exceed the limit set out
in the relevant Quote. For the purposes of this limit, each developer modifying JavaScript code as
part of the creation or Modification of an Application's user interface, which user interface
creation or Modification uses the Software shall constitute a separate Licensee Developer. For
example, if the Licensee has five developers working with JavaScript code with respect to the
creation or Modification of the user interface of an Application and such creation or Modification
uses the Software, but only two developers are directly working with the Software, all five
developers will be counted as Licensee Developers.

right to sub-licence its rights).

|
3.4 |
The Licensee and its Affiliates may use the Software Materials to install, load, launch, access,

that is intended for use by software, application, or website developers or designers,
or has a similar purpose or functionality (as determined by the Licensor).
|
|
3.8 |
