1. Scope of the Agreement

The Agreement gives the Customer a time-limited, non-exclusive right to use the Software. The Customer’s right to use the Software shall cease when this Agreement is terminated or for other reason is no longer in force, cf. clause 2.

2. Term of the Agreement and Subscription term

The right of use stated in clause 1 shall continue for so long time as the Agreement is in force. The Agreement is a continuing agreement that lasts until it is terminated according to the provisions in clause 12. The Agreement has a mandatory period calculated from the date the Agreement comes into force and until 12 months after the turn of the month following the date the Agreement comes into force. The period from the date the Agreement comes into force and until the end of the obligatory period is called “Subscription term”. After the expiry of this first Subscription term, the agreement is renewed for new Subscription terms that correspond to the relevant invoicing period.

3. Limited usage

The Agreement gives the Customer a right to install and run the Software at the installation site chosen by the Customer. The right to use the Software is restricted so that the Software should only be installed on hardware that is wholly owned or managed by the Customer. Alternatively, the Customer is entitled to install and use the Software on a system that is managed or owned by a third party (“hosting”). If hosting is used, the Customer shall remain responsible to comply with the Customer’s limited right to use the Software.

The right to use the Software is limited to such number of licenses the Customer at any time subscribes to. If the Customer needs to increase the Agreement to cover additional Users, then the usage right for additional Users shall be ordered from SuperOffice according to the procedure in clause 6.

The Users should only be Customer’s employees or hired personnel who according to an agreement are performing services for the Customer. The Users shall commit themselves to follow these conditions. No others than the Users shall be able to use the Software without a prior written consent from SuperOffice.

The Customer shall not disassemble, decompile or reverse engineer the Software, except in such situations as permitted by mandatory legal law in Norway or if SuperOffice has given its express consent.

In case of breach of these conditions, SuperOffice is entitled to immediately terminate the Agreement and withdraw the Customer’s right to use the Software. Such actions from SuperOffice shall not release the Customer from the obligation to pay for the whole running Subscription term.

The Software licensed under the Agreement cannot be implemented, used, marketed or offered to other parties in a way that is positioned as a public cloud service or multi-tenant online service.

4. Maintenance/Upgrades

The Customer shall be given access to new versions and service releases of the Software as soon as these become available. Updates are released according to potential needs, where the needs shall be assessed by SuperOffice depending on what the changes contain. Examples of changes in new versions and updates might be:

  • Fault corrections in the Software as a result of reports received from the customers.
  • Changes to the Software as the result of preventive maintenance.
  • Changes in the functionality of the Software as a consequence of wishes expressed by the customers.
  • Reprogramming as a consequence of a desired change to the structure of the Software or new drivers etc.
  • General improvements/changes in the Software.

Each new version of the Software will be accompanied by an installation guide in electronic format. Normally, a description of changes in the new version compared to the earlier versions will also be provided.

5. Support

The Customer shall have the right to receive support from our central support department during normal working hours (09.00-17.00 CET Monday thru Friday with the exception of Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve and other public holidays), or at specific times indicated by SuperOffice. Support requests are submitted to our Support center in the SuperOffice Community (community.superoffice.com). The Customer is granted free access to the community including our resource center, Learn-the-Essentials user guides, help files and “How-to-videos”. All users have free access to SuperOffice E-Learning classes within the Service.

Support shall be made available in accordance with the following guidelines:

Customers with more than three users must nominate a support contact, who will then act as the Customer’s contact point with SuperOffice.

The Customer will use its best effort and most qualified personnel to search the source of the problem and to share detailed information with the support personnel.

Cases, which do not comply with the above listed conditions, will be invoiced at the applicable SuperOffice hourly consulting fees.

The Support shall only cover the Service when it is used in a manner recommended by SuperOffice, and as such shall not extend to other configurations in respect of operating systems and browsers and similar. The Support shall also not cover repairs to the content of the databases or issues caused by the Customer. The Support shall also not cover support of anything outside the Service that the customer subscribes to, or problems that are only associated to the Customer’s hardware, internal networks and internet connections, and/or items of peripheral equipment that are entirely independent of the Service.

SuperOffice reserves the right to recommend a training course or consultancy services if the support takes the form of general training. SuperOffice similarly reserves the right to send the Customer specifications of possible solutions, which the Customer must attempt to implement in order to solve the problem in question.

This Support shall not include any form of consulting services. The Customer can purchase additional consulting services as required.
