  PART 1. General Terms

  1. Additional Terms; Service Communications

  1.1 Some of the Services may be subject to additional conditions either posted on the Site or contained in ordering documents (referred to herein as an "Order Schedule") that describe order-specific information, such as Services names, billing information, subscription prices, user quantities, and license term. Your use of those Services is subject to those conditions, which are incorporated into this Agreement by reference. In the event of an inconsistency between this Agreement and any additional conditions, the provisions of the additional conditions will prevail.

  1.2 You understand and agree that the Services may include communications such as service announcements and administrative messages from Licensor or Licensor's partners. You will not be able to opt out of receiving these service announcements and administrative messages while using the Site and Services and until you send Licensor a specific written notice requesting the termination of your subscription and that your details be eliminated from the Site and any mailing list.

  2. License Grant; Your Content; Support

  2.1 Licensor hereby grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Site and Services for the term for which you have paid the applicable subscription fees ("License Term"), solely for your own internal business purposes, subject to this Agreement and the Order Schedule. If any subscription based Service is licensed on a "named user" basis, rights of any user licensed to utilize the Service cannot be shared or used by more than one individual. In addition, a user may not be transferred from one individual to another unless the original user no longer requires, and is no longer permitted, access to the Service.

  2.2 The Site includes a combination of content that Licensor creates, that Licensor's partners create, and that Licensor's users create. You may use the content on the Site only for your internal business purposes in connection with the Services and/or your licensed use of Licensor's products. Except for the foregoing, you may not modify, publish, transmit, participate in the transfer or sale of, reproduce, create derivative works of, distribute, publicly perform, reverse engineer, publicly display, or in any way exploit any of the software, materials or content on the Site in whole or in part.

  2.3 You are solely responsible for all materials, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, that you upload, post, e-mail, transmit, or otherwise make available on the Site or through the Service ("Your Content"). You have the sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, and appropriateness of Your Content. Your Content will be protected by Licensor with at least the same protective precautions that Licensor takes to protect its similar proprietary information from unauthorized disclosure. Licensor will not, without your prior written consent, disclose any of Your Content to any thirty party, except to those bona fide individuals whose access is necessary to enable Licensor to perform its obligations hereunder.

  2.4 You warrant that you own or have sufficient legal right to the intellectual property rights in Your Content and that Your Content, including any use thereof by Licensor as described below, does not violate applicable law or the rights of any third party. You hereby grant Licensor, Licensor's affiliates, and Licensor's partners a worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free, nonexclusive, sublicensable right during the License Term to use, reproduce, create derivative works of, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, transfer, transmit, distribute, and publish Your Content and subsequent versions of Your Content for the purposes of (i) displaying Your Content on the Site and other related Internet sites for your users, (ii) processing Your Content in connection with providing the Services to you, (iii) distributing Your Content, either electronically or via other media, to your users seeking to download or otherwise acquire it, and/or (iv) storing or hosting Your Content in a remote database or on the Site for access by your users. This license will apply to the distribution and the storage of Your Content in any form, medium, or technology now known or later developed.

  2.5 You may be exposed to content that you find offensive, indecent, or objectionable or that is inaccurate, and you bear all risks associated with using that content. Licensor has the right, but not the obligation, to remove any content that may, in Licensor's sole discretion, violates this Agreement or that is otherwise objectionable.

In addition, all content published on the Site, including, but not limited to, reports, presentations, written content, graphics, images, marks, logos, sound or video clips, and Flash or Java animation, are protected by Licensor's copyrights or trademarks or those of Licensor's partners or users.

  5. Third-Party Sites, Products, and Services

  5.1 The Site may contain links to other Internet sites owned by third parties. Your use of each of those sites is subject to the conditions, if any, that each of those sites have posted. Licensor has no control over sites that are not ours, and Licensor are not responsible for any use of such sites or content on them. Licensor's inclusion on the Site of any third-party content or a link to a third-party site is not an endorsement of that content or third-party site.

  5.2 Some content may come from government sources, is in the public domain, and is not copyrightable.

  6. Fees

  6.1 You agree to pay the fees on the terms stated in the Order Schedule. You agree to pay all applicable taxes relating to the Services.

  6.2 The maximum disk storage space provided to you at no additional charge is 5 GB per Company ID. If the amount of disk storage required exceeds these limits, you will be charged Licensor's then-current storage fees. Licensor will use reasonable efforts to notify you when the storage per Company ID reaches approximately 90% of the maximum; however, any failure by Licensor to so notify you will not affect your responsibility for such additional storage charges. Licensor reserves the right to establish or modify its general practices and limits relating to storage of data and other content.

  7. Term and Termination; Service Cancellation

  7.1 The Services will be automatically renewed upon the expiration of the then current License Term, unless you give Licensor written notice thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then current License Term, of your intention to terminate the Services. Fees at the time of automatic renewals will be at the then-current Services rates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor may immediately terminate or suspend your use of the Services provided hereunder, or terminate your account and this Agreement if you (i) fail to pay any applicable fees when due, or (ii) breach or otherwise fail to comply with this Agreement and fail to remedy this breach within thirty (30) days of being so notified. Licensor may terminate any free account or Services at any time in its sole discretion without liability to you. You will continue to be charged for the fee-based Services during any period of suspension. Termination will not relieve you from its obligation to pay fees that remain unpaid and will not limit either party from pursuing other available remedies.

  7.2 You may terminate any fee-based Services or reduce the number of users effective only upon the expiration of the then current term by notifying Licensor in accordance with this Agreement.

  7.3 Upon termination by Licensor of this Agreement or any part thereof in accordance with this Agreement as a result of your breach, negligence or default, Licensor will have no obligation to refund to you any fees paid by you. The provisions of this section will not apply to those situations defined by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event your access to the Services is terminated (other than by reason of your breach), Licensor will make available to you a file of your data within 30 days of termination if you so request at the time of termination.

  7.4 In the event Licensor (or its successor in interest) permanently ceases to operate the Services, Licensor will refund to you any pre-paid subscription fees for the remaining months where you no longer have access to the Services.

  13. Arbitration

  Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Site will be finally settled by arbitration, except that Licensor may bring an action in a court of competent jurisdiction with respect to any dispute affecting Licensor's intellectual property rights whether statutory or contractual.

You hereby acknowledge and consent that such notices will be effective upon Licensor's posting them on the Site or delivering them to you through e-mail. You may update your e-mail address by visiting the Services where you have provided contact information. If you do not provide Licensor with accurate information, Licensor cannot be held liable if Licensor fail to notify you. You may have the right to request that Licensor provide such notices to you in paper format, and may do so by contacting SAP America, Inc., Contracts Administration, 3410 Hillview Ave., Palo Alto, California 9 4304. Any other communication to Licensor should also be sent to that address.

  14.3 Licensor's failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. This Agreement and your right to use the Services may not be assigned by you without the prior written approval of Licensor.

  14.4 This Agreement, including any applicable Order Schedule and all terms, conditions, and policies that are incorporated into these terms by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and Licensor and govern your use of the Site and Services, superseding any prior agreements that you may have with Licensor.

  14.5 This Agreement will be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflicts of law principles, and the federal laws of the United States.

  14.6 You may not use, import or export materials on this Site in violation of United States, and any other applicable country's, import and export laws and regulations. Licensor assumes no responsibility or liability for your failure to obtain any necessary export approvals. Without limiting the foregoing, you agree that the Site will not be used, and none of the underlying content, information, software, or technology may be transferred or otherwise exported or re-exported to persons subject to restrictions, destinations subject to embargo, or to prohibited proliferation-related end-users or end-uses, without obtaining any export license or other approval that may be required under United States, and any other applicable country's, laws, regulations and requirements.  None of the content on the Site, nor any information acquired through the use of the Services, is or will be used for nuclear activities, chemical or biological weapons, or missile projects, unless specifically authorized by the United States government or appropriate European body for such purposes.

The use of the Site and the Services including, but not limited to, its reproduction and display, by the United States of America and/or any of its instrumentalities, regardless of form, will be governed by this Agreement.

  14.8 If any part of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law, the invalid or unenforceable provision will be construed in accordance with applicable law as nearly as possible to reflect the original intentions of the parties and the intent of the original provision. Where a court is unable to construe any unenforceable or invalid provision to make it binding, the court will severe and delete the provision. In any event, all other terms which remain valid and enforceable will survive and remain in full force and effect.

  14.9 If you have a dispute with one or more users, you release Licensor (and Licensor's officers, directors, agents, affiliates and employees) from claims, demands, and damages (direct and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not known or suspect to exist in his favour at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
