servers for the number of Seats specified in the Online Registration Form; (b)
to use the Software solely for Your internal operation and use; and (c) to use
 the Documentation solely for Your internal operation and use.</p>

<h4>3. RESTRICTIONS.</h4>

<p>3.1 <strong>GENERAL.</strong>  The license granted to You under this
Agreement is granted solely to You and any of Your Affiliates.  You may not
assign, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, lend, transfer, resell, or distribute
the Software to any third party or use the Software on behalf of any third
party unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Zulip in its sole discretion.
You agree not to copy the Software, in whole or in part, except that You may
make copies of the Software and Documentation for backup and archival purposes
only.  You agree not to modify, obscure, or delete any proprietary rights
notices included in or on the Software or Documentation and You agree to
include all such notices on all copies.  You may not modify the Software, make
derivative works based on the Software, or merge the Software into any other
computer programs.  You may not reverse engineer, disassemble, or decompile the
Software, in whole or in part, or otherwise attempt to derive its source code.
You agree to use the Software in compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations, including, without limitation, applicable export control laws and
regulations of the United States and other jurisdictions.</p>

<p>3.2 <strong>SEATS.</strong>  The license granted to You under this Agreement

Subscription Fees for such additional Seats at the then-current price, which
amount will be prorated for the balance of the then-current Subscription Term;
and (b) the Subscription Fees for all Seats will adjust to the then-current
price for any renewal Subscription Term.  Upon Zulip's request (such request
not to be made more than once during any 12 month period without good cause),
You agree to promptly deliver to Zulip (a) any usage files and reports
generated by the Software to permit Zulip to verify the number of Seats
actually used by You during the applicable Subscription Term; and/or (b) a
certification signed by one of Your officers regarding the number of Seats
actually used by You during the applicable Subscription Term.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, You agree to reasonably cooperate with Zulip to verify the

If Zulip confirms that You have exceeded the number of Seats for the applicable
Subscription Term, in addition to any other remedies available under this
Agreement or applicable law, You agree to pay to Zulip the then-current
Subscription Fees for the additional Seats used by You.</p>

<p>4. <strong>TITLE.</strong>  Zulip and its licensors own all rights, title,
and interest in and to the Software. Your rights to the Software are limited to
the license expressly granted to You in this Agreement.  Zulip reserves all
rights not expressly granted in this Agreement.</p>

<h4>5. TERM AND TERMINATION. </h4>

<p>5.1 <strong>TERM.</strong>  This Agreement is effective as of the Effective
Date and will continue in force for a period of time (the “Subscription Term”)
until the earliest (a) the one year anniversary of the Effective Date, (b) the
expiration date set forth in the Online Registration Form, or (c) when the
Agreement is terminated as provided herein.  Upon expiration of the
then-current Subscription Term, Zulip will deliver to You a notice or invoice
(depending on the original method of payment) by e-mail for Subscription Fees
for an additional one year renewal Subscription Term.  You may cancel Your
subscription by either providing written notice of non-renewal to Zulip at
any time during the Subscription Term or within 30 days after the
notice/invoice date or by not paying the invoice within 30 days of the
invoice date, and this Agreement will automatically terminate at the end of
the then-current Subscription Term.  The amount of Subscription Fees during
any renewal Subscription Term will be the same as that during the prior
Subscription Term for as long as You use the same number of licensed Seats.
If, at any time, You increase or decrease the number of licensed Seats as
set forth in Section 3.2 above, the Subscription Fees for all licensed
Seats will adjust to the then-current Subscription Fees.  In addition,
Zulip reserves the right to change its prices by giving You written notice
of such change and You will have 30 days to cancel Your subscription before
such change becomes effective for the renewal Subscription Term.</p>

<p>5.2 <strong>TERMINATION BY ZULIP.</strong>  Zulip may immediately terminate
this Agreement if You breach any material term of this Agreement and, if such
breach is capable of cure, You fail to cure such breach within 20 days of
written notice thereof.</p>

<p>5.3 <strong>TERMINATION BY YOU.</strong>  You may immediately terminate this
Agreement at any time and for any reason by providing written notice to
Zulip.</p>

<p>5.4 <strong>EFFECT OF TERMINATION.</strong>  Upon termination or expiration
of this Agreement (a) the Subscription Term shall end; (b) all licenses and
rights to use the Software granted to You hereunder shall immediately
terminate; and (c) Zulip may disable the Software, although You will continue
to have access to Your data.  Those provisions of this Agreement that by their
terms or sense are intended to survive termination or expiration of this
Agreement will survive and remain in full force and effect, including, without
limitation, Sections 4, 5.4, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13.</p>

<p>6. <strong>UPDATES; UPGRADES.</strong>  Throughout the Subscription Term,
Zulip will make any Updates and Upgrades available for download through
zulip.com.</p>

<p>7. <strong>PAYMENT.</strong>  You agree to pay to Zulip the subscription
fees set forth in the Online Registration Form (“Subscription Fees”).  You will
pay all amounts due to Zulip in full either (a) within 30 days from the date of
each invoice or (b) if You pay by credit card, at the time of submitting the
Online Registration Form for the initial Subscription Term and within 30 days
of each notice of any renewal Subscription Term.  All amounts payable under
this Agreement are denominated in and shall be payable in United States
Dollars.  Any undisputed amounts remaining unpaid following the payment due
date, and all disputed payments that are paid following the resolution of such
dispute, will bear interest accruing from the original payment due date through
the date that such amounts are paid at the lower interest rate of (i) 1.0% per
month and (ii) the highest interest rate allowed by law.  You are solely
responsible for all taxes, fees, duties and governmental assessments (except
for taxes based on Zulip's net income) that are imposed or become due in
connection with the subject matter of this Agreement.  Subscription Fees
are non-refundable except as expressly provided in this Agreement or as
otherwise agreed to in writing by Zulip in its sole discretion.</p>

<p>8. <strong>DELIVERY.</strong>  Promptly following Your payment of the
initial Subscription Fees, Zulip shall make the Software available on a secure,
password-protected website for You to access and download.  The password
provided to You for this purpose shall be considered Confidential Information
protected under the terms of this Agreement.</p>

<p>9. <strong>CONFIDENTIALITY.</strong>  Each party (a <strong>“Receiving
Party”</strong>) understands that the other party (the <strong>“Disclosing
Party”</strong>) may share certain information of a confidential nature during
the Subscription Term.  <strong>“Confidential Information”</strong> means any
information disclosed by the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party, either
directly or indirectly, in writing, orally or by inspection of tangible
objects, that should reasonably have been understood by the Receiving Party due
to legends or other markings, the circumstances of disclosure, or the nature of
the information itself, to be proprietary and confidential to the Disclosing
Party, including, without limitation, source code for the Software; any other
non-public source code of either party; and any non-public product, service,
technical, marketing, business, financial, or other information.  The Receiving
Party agrees, for itself and any Affiliate, agents, and employees, that it will
not publish, disclose, or otherwise divulge or use (other than as expressly
permitted under this Agreement) any Confidential Information of the Disclosing
Party without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party in each
instance.  Each party will use at least the same level of care to maintain the
confidentiality of the other party's Confidential Information as it uses to
maintain the confidentiality of its own non-public information, and in no event
less than a reasonable degree of care.  Without granting any right or license,
the Disclosing Party agrees that the foregoing will not apply with respect to
information that the Receiving Party can document (a) is in the public domain
and is available at the time of disclosure or which thereafter enters the
public domain and is available, through no improper action or inaction by the
Receiving Party or any Affiliate, agent, or employee (provided, however, that
an item of Confidential Information shall not be considered in the public
domain due to the fact that the individual elements that comprise that item can
be found in the public domain); (b) was in its possession or known by it prior
to receipt from the Disclosing Party; (c) was rightfully disclosed to it by a
third party without violating any obligations to the Disclosing Party; (d) is
independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference to such
Confidential Information; or (e) is compelled to be disclosed pursuant to any
statutory or regulatory authority, court order, or legal process, provided the
Disclosing Party is given prompt notice of such requirement and the scope of
such disclosure is limited to the extent possible.</p>
