6.2. In cases where the Software is leased, a "time-out" Dongle will also be supplied and the Licensee’s right to use the Software will be terminated by means of the Dongle after expiry of the lease. The Licensee acknowledges he is aware that, if any rent or other amount due to JS is not duly paid, the Licensee’s right to use the Software will be suspended by means of the Dongle until payment in full of all monies due to JS. The Licensee shall not thereby become entitled to any refund or other reduction in monies otherwise payable to JS.

6.3. The Licensee further acknowledges that, if he ceases to take and duly pay for Maintenance Services in respect of the Joinery and Control Modules, the time-unlimited Dongle will deny the Licensee the use of the Additional Software and New Releases. The Licensee shall not thereby become entitled to any refund or other reduction in monies otherwise payable to JS.

6.4. The Licensee further acknowledges that, if he ceases to take and duly pay for Maintenance Services in respect of Machine Specific Software, the time-unlimited Dongle will deny the Licensee the use of that software.

6.6. Where the Licensee takes and pays for JS Dongle insurance the Licensee accepts that the Dongle will remain as a time out Dongle during the insurance period. If the Licensee subsequently chooses not to take JS Dongle insurance and has paid for the software in full then the Licensee’s Dongle will be modified by JS to operate for the full duration of the Software licence granted pursuant to these Terms. The Licensee accepts that an excess fee applies with JS dongle insurance, at the then prevailing rate.

6.7. In cases where the Upgrade Fee, or Maintenance Services is payable in instalments the Licensee accepts that the Dongle will remain or revert to a "time-out" Dongle. The Licensee acknowledges he is aware that, if an instalment of the Upgrade Fee or Maintenance Services is not paid when due, the Licensee’s right to use the Software will be suspended by means of the Dongle until payment in full of all monies due to JS. The Licensee shall not thereby become entitled to any refund or other reduction in monies otherwise payable to JS. When payment has been made in full, Licensee’s Dongle will be modified by JS to operate for the full duration of the Software licence granted pursuant to these Terms.

6.8. Where the Licensee takes and pays for JS Network Monitoring the Licensee accepts that the Dongle will remain or revert to a time out Dongle during the Maintenance Services Period. If the Licensee subsequently chooses not to take JS Network Monitoring and has paid for the software in full then the Licensee’s Dongle will be modified by JS to operate for the full duration of the Software licence granted pursuant to these Terms.

In the event of termination of the licence(s) on any of the grounds identified in this paragraph 14, the Licensee shall immediately cease use of the Software and shall return the Dongle, any network server supplied by JS to Licensee, where any payment for network server remains outstanding, and all copies of the Manual to JS. The Licensee shall also delete all copies of the Software and any material copied from the Manual from Licensee Systems; and the Licensee shall permit representatives of JS to enter upon any of his business premises to either do so on his behalf or to affirm compliance with this paragraph 14.2.

14.3. Any termination of the Licences pursuant to this paragraph 14 shall not affect any accrued rights or obligations of either of the parties existing at the date of termination nor the coming into or continuance in force of any provision which is expressly or by implication intended to come into or to continue in force on or after termination.

14.4. In addition to JS’s right to terminate the licence(s) pursuant to this paragraph 14, JS shall have the right to prevent access by the Licensee to any Additional Software or other Software functionality that requires Licensee to have paid the fees for Maintenance Services for any applicable Maintenance Services Period.

14.5.

The Licensee shall not thereby become entitled to any refund or other reduction in monies otherwise payable to JS. When payment has been made in full, the Licensee will be granted access to the software again, pursuant to these Terms.

1. Force Majeure

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms, neither party shall be liable for any delay in performing or failure to perform its obligations under the Contract, or be deemed to be in breach of the Contract, if the delay or failure is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control.

1. Invalidity

If any provision of these Terms, other than the obligation on the part of the Licensee to pay the Initial Licence Fee or other sums stated to be due to JS, shall be held to be illegal, void or unenforceable in whole or in part, that provision or part shall to that extent be deemed not to form part of this agreement and the enforceability of the remainder of these Terms shall not be affected.

1. Entire Agreement and Variations

17.1. These Terms and the Contract constitute the entire agreement between the parties in relation to its subject matter and supersede all previous agreements and arrangements in relation to the same. No variation of or addition to these Terms or the Contract shall be binding on either party unless made pursuant to paragraph 17.2 or otherwise agreed in writing by the parties.

JS will determine whether such updates, additional modules or changes to Machine Specific Software are subject to additional licence or other fees and terms, or whether they will be provided for no additional charge (and pursuant to these Terms) to Licensees who are current in their payment for Maintenance Services. Failure by a Licensee to pay for any updates subject to additional fees shall not interfere with Licensee’s use of the Software pursuant to the Contract. New Software functionality will be addressed in amended Manuals or similar operational guides published by JS on its website or within the software; and

17.4.2. JS will determine the means of distribution of the Software and performance of the Maintenance Services.

For the purposes of this paragraph 18, assignment, transfer or sub-licensing includes any purported grant of rights in the Software or any other rights of the Licensee under the Contract pursuant to any financing arrangement, or the sale or other transfer of control of his business, entered into by the Licensee or his successors in interest.

SCHEDULE A

NETWORK SERVER AGREEMENT CONDITIONS

It is the responsibility of the Licensee to ensure the server is kept in a dust-free environment (as far as possible) and connected to the Licensee’s network and power.

It is the responsibility of the Licensee to ensure the Licensee uses a Surge Protector or UPS where applicable, whether provided by Joinerysoft or not, to ensure against power fluctuations which could damage the server hardware (or connect to an existing UPS if available). Please see JS website for recommended specification.

To enable the full functionality of the JMS Server and support, the licensee is required to ensure that the server remains turned on and networked 24/7. JS also requires root access to the JMS Server to provide support and monitoring services. If this conflicts with the Licensee’s Insurance requirements or Codes of Practice, please let JS know prior to installation. JS will not be liable for reduced levels of support where 24/7 access to the JMS server is not provided by the licensee for JS staff.

The JMS Server must be set up according to JS network specification and should not run or contain any other software not recommended by JS. JS reserves the right to charge reasonable additional fees in case a service call is made, and the problem has arisen from any alteration or modification of the network by any person other than JS or any adverse result arising from interaction with any other software used by the licensee.

The licensee is responsible for the cost of repair and replacement of the JMS Server after any manufacturer's warranty has expired. Where the JMS Server has been provided by JS and is within the manufacturer's warranty, if the server fails catastrophically and JS are unable to fix it remotely, the Licensee is responsible for shipping it back to JS in the original packaging (where possible) to avoid any unnecessary damage and JS will repair or replace the JMS Server according to manufacturer’s warranty. JS reserve the right to charge for any repair or replacement which occurs outside the manufacturer’s warranty (ie: issues which relate to power surges will not be covered and will incur costs)

Where provided by JS the JMS Server remains the property of JS until all payments relating to it’s purchase have been paid in full.

Joinerysoft undertakes to install the software on the JMS Server during initial installation, any additional installations due to replacement of equipment or any other reason will be charged at JS prevailing current rate.

Network Monitoring includes Dongle insurance unless the licensee notifies JS that the Dongle insurance is not required.

If a Licensee has elected not to take or pay for Network Monitoring, any network or computer support will be charged at JS prevailing current rate.
