SECTION 2: NATURE OF LICENSE & WHAT IS
GRANTED
2.1 Perpetual Multi-Company License
— Internal Use
2.1.1 Subject to full payment of the
One-Time License Fee and compliance with all terms of this Agreement, the
Licensor grants the Licensee a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable,
perpetual license to install, deploy, and operate the Build File on a single
designated Client Server exclusively for the Licensee's own internal
organizational use across multiple branches, departments, divisions, and
subsidiaries of its own legal entity or corporate group.
2.1.2 This license is perpetual — the
Licensee's right to operate the version of the Build File delivered at
activation continues indefinitely without recurring subscription fees, provided
all terms of this Agreement are upheld. The CRM will continue to operate on the
Licensee's server even if the Licensee chooses not to renew the AMC or request
further customizations.
2.1.3 This Agreement constitutes a
license to use the Software. It does not constitute a sale of the Software, its
source code, or any intellectual property. Hosting the Build File on the
Licensee's own server does not transfer ownership of the Software to the
Licensee.
2.2 Multi-Branch Internal Use
2.2.1 The Licensee may add multiple
internal branches, regional offices, divisions, and departments of its own
organization as separate company entities within the CRM. Each entity added
must be part of the Licensee's own corporate structure — whether a branch,
subsidiary, or division of the same parent organization. The number of
companies or branches permitted is as specified on the cover page of this
Agreement.
2.2.2 All Authorized Users across all
licensed branches must be employees, staff members, or directly authorized
personnel of the Licensee's own organization. Access to the CRM is strictly
limited to internal personnel only.
2.2.3 If the Licensee requires access
for additional branches or entities beyond the agreed number on the cover page,
a written request must be submitted to the Licensor. Additional entities may
attract a license expansion fee, which will be separately quoted.
2.3 Single Server — Exclusive to
Licensee's Organization
2.3.1 The Build File may be installed
and operated on one (1) designated Client Server only. The Licensee may not
install, copy, or operate the Build File on multiple servers simultaneously
under this license.
2.3.2 The Client Server must be used
exclusively for the Licensee's own internal business operations. The CRM
installation shall not be shared with, made accessible to, or operated on
behalf of any external company, third-party client, or unaffiliated organization
under any circumstances.
2.4 Strictly Internal — No External
Service Provision
This license is granted exclusively for the Licensee's
own internal organizational use. Using the CRM to provide services to external
clients, third-party companies, or any organization outside the Licensee's own
corporate structure is strictly prohibited and constitutes a material breach of
this Agreement.
2.4.1 The Licensee is expressly
prohibited from using this license to offer, provide, or enable CRM access to
any external party — including clients, customers, partner organizations, or
any third party — whether on a commercial or non-commercial basis.
2.4.2 If the Licensee's business
requirement expands to include offering CRM access to external clients or
companies as a service, the Licensee must contact the Licensor to discuss the
appropriate license type for that purpose. This internal-use Lifetime License
does not cover such use under any circumstances.
2.5 Permitted Use
Under this license, the Licensee is permitted to:
•
Install and operate the Build File
on the single designated Client Server;
•
Add multiple internal branches,
divisions, and departments as separate company entities within the CRM;
•
Grant access to Authorized Users
who are employees or staff of the Licensee's own organization;
•
Configure standard CRM settings
and workflows for each internal entity;
•
Use the Software's built-in data
export features for backup, reporting, and operational purposes;
•
Contact the Licensor for future
customization requests, support, or AMC services.
2.6 Prohibited Use
The Licensee shall not:
•
Reverse-engineer, decompile, or
attempt to access the source code of the Software;
•
Modify, alter, or tamper with the
Build File, database schema, or server configuration without the Licensor's
involvement;
•
Allow any third party outside the
Licensee's own organization to access, manage, or use the Software;
•
Install the Build File on any
server other than the single designated Client Server without prior written
consent;
•
Offer, provide, or enable CRM
access to any external client, customer, or third-party organization;
•
Use the Software in any manner
that violates applicable UAE or international laws and regulations.
SECTION 3: ONE-TIME LICENSE FEE, PAYMENT
& NON-REFUNDABLE POLICY
3.1 The Lifetime Multi-Company License
is acquired through payment of a single One-Time License Fee as specified on
the cover page. This fee covers: delivery of the Build File; initial
installation and configuration on the Client Server; multi-company architecture
setup for the agreed number of entities; initial system setup and user
configuration; and the twelve (12) month Warranty Period.
3.2 The One-Time License Fee is
strictly non-refundable once the Build File has been delivered and installation
has commenced, regardless of subsequent usage levels, branch activation, or any
other business circumstances of the Licensee.
3.3 All additional services —
including customizations, AMC, security audits, server consultancy, training,
migration support, and license expansion for additional branches — are
separately priced and quoted at the time of request. Payment for additional services
must be received in full before work commences.
3.4 All fees are payable in UAE
Dirhams (AED) and are exclusive of applicable taxes including VAT, which remain
the sole responsibility of the Licensee.
3.5 Post-Signature Process: The
Licensor will email a fully executed copy within three (3) Business Days of
signing. The Licensee must return a countersigned copy within seven (7)
calendar days or the offer is void.
SECTION 4: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY &
SOURCE CODE OWNERSHIP
IMPORTANT: Hosting the Risper CRM Build File on the
Licensee's own server does not transfer any ownership of the Software, its
source code, or any intellectual property to the Licensee. Full ownership
remains exclusively with RAIMS Digital Technologies at all times.
4.1 The Risper CRM software —
including all underlying source code, algorithms, database architecture, user
interface designs, modules, features, and documentation — is the sole and
exclusive intellectual property of RAIMS Digital Technologies. This ownership
is absolute, perpetual, and unaffected by any commercial arrangement including
this Lifetime License.
4.2 The delivery of the Build File to
the Licensee's server constitutes a transfer of a compiled, deployable software
package for the purpose of operation only. It does not constitute a transfer of
source code, development rights, ownership, or any other intellectual property
rights. The Licensee receives the right to use — not to own — the Software.
4.3 Source code shall not be provided
to the Licensee under any circumstances — not upon expiry of the AMC, not upon
termination, and not for any other reason. All requests for source code will be
declined without exception.
4.4 Any future customizations
developed by the Licensor for the Licensee remain the intellectual property of
RAIMS Digital Technologies. Payment of a customization fee represents payment
for the right to use the developed feature within the Licensee's CRM instance —
not for the underlying code or design.
4.5 The Licensor's trade names,
trademarks, logos, and the Risper CRM brand identity remain the exclusive
property of the Licensor and shall not be used, altered, or removed from the
Software interface by the Licensee.
SECTION 5: CLIENT SERVER — HOSTING,
RESPONSIBILITY & EXCLUSIVITY
5.1 Licensee's Full Responsibility
5.1.1 Under the Lifetime License, the
Build File is hosted entirely on the Licensee's own Client Server. From the
point of delivery and installation, the Licensee assumes full and sole
responsibility for the ongoing management, maintenance, security, performance,
and availability of the Client Server and the CRM hosted on it — including all
data belonging to the Licensee's organization and all its branches.
5.1.2 The Licensor's obligations in
relation to the server environment are limited to: (a) delivering and
installing the Build File at activation; (b) providing support and security
oversight during the active Warranty or AMC period with the Licensee's permission;
and (c) providing customization and maintenance services when separately
requested and paid for. Day-to-day server responsibility lies entirely with the
Licensee from the moment of handover.
5.1.3 The Licensor shall not be liable
for any downtime, data loss, performance degradation, security breach, or
service interruption arising from the condition, management, or configuration
of the Client Server.
5.2 Server Exclusivity & Hosting
Isolation
5.2.1 The Client Server must be used
exclusively for the Licensee's Risper CRM installation and internal business
operations. The Licensee shall not host any other websites, web applications,
or unrelated third-party code on the same server environment. Running other
applications on the same server introduces additional security vulnerabilities
and configuration conflicts that may adversely affect CRM performance and data
security.
5.2.2 Where the Licensee's organization
requires CRM access for a separate legal entity that is not part of the same
corporate group as the Licensee, a new and separate license must be obtained
for that entity. A single Multi-Company License covers branches and divisions
within the Licensee's own organizational structure only.
5.3 Server Technical Requirements
5.3.1 The Licensee is responsible for
ensuring the Client Server meets the minimum technical specifications
communicated by the Licensor's technical team prior to installation, including
operating system version, PHP version, database version, web server configuration,
and available disk space and RAM.
5.3.2 The Licensee is responsible for
keeping the server's operating system, control panel, web server software, and
database software updated and patched throughout the life of the deployment.
Outdated server software is a significant security vulnerability and its
maintenance is the Licensee's responsibility.
5.4 Data Backups
5.4.1 The Licensor strongly recommends
that the Licensee configure automated daily backups of both the CRM application
files and the CRM database. Many hosting providers include built-in automated
backup functionality. The Licensee is also advised to store backup copies in a
separate location from the primary server — such as a cloud storage account or
offline device.
5.4.2 The responsibility for all data
backup — covering the Licensee's own organizational data across all branches —
lies entirely with the Licensee as the server operator. The Licensor has no
access to the Licensee's backup systems and bears no responsibility for backup
failure or data loss.
SECTION 6: WARRANTY & WARRANTY VOID
CONDITIONS
6.1 Twelve-Month Warranty
6.1.1 A twelve (12) month warranty from
the License Activation Date covers defects and errors in the original Risper
CRM functionality as delivered in the Build File. During this period, confirmed
software defects will be investigated and resolved at no additional charge,
subject to the void conditions in Section 6.2.
6.1.2 The warranty covers the Build File
as a whole across all configured branch entities. It does not create separate
individual warranty entitlements per branch. All issues must be escalated
through the Licensee's designated SPOC.
6.2 Warranty Void Conditions
WARNING: Any unauthorized modification to the Build File,
server configuration, or database structure will immediately and permanently
void the warranty and disconnect all active support. This cannot be reversed.
6.2.1 The warranty and all associated
support services are immediately and permanently voided upon:
•
Any modification of the Build File
or its component files by any party other than the Licensor's authorized
technical team;
•
Any change to the CRM database
schema, table structure, or stored procedures by an unauthorized party;
•
Installation of unauthorized
plugins, extensions, scripts, or third-party code into the CRM environment;
•
Migration of the Build File to a
different server environment without the Licensor's involvement and written
approval;
•
Providing server or CRM access
credentials to any third-party developer, freelancer, or IT consultant without
the Licensor's prior written consent;
•
Any attempt to access, extract, or
reverse-engineer the source code of the Software.
6.2.2 The Licensee must notify the
Licensor in writing before engaging any third-party developer or IT
professional in connection with the Client Server. Unauthorized third-party
engagement is a warranty void event and may attract a reinstatement fee of up
to seventy percent (70%) of the original One-Time License Fee, in addition to
any remediation costs, depending on the extent of changes made.
6.2.3 A warranty void event does not
terminate the perpetual license — the Licensee retains the right to continue
using the CRM. However, all warranty coverage and active support are
permanently discontinued. Any subsequent support, bug fixes, or restoration will
be separately quoted.
6.2.4 The Licensor reserves the right to
conduct periodic integrity checks of the Build File during the Warranty and AMC
periods to verify that no unauthorized modifications have been made. Such
checks will be conducted with the Licensee's prior notification and will not
disrupt normal CRM operations.
6.3 Support Disconnection on
Warranty Void
6.3.1 Upon confirmation of a warranty
void event, the Licensor will notify the Licensee in writing. From that point:
no further bug fix or support obligations apply; the Licensor's support team
will cease active ticket investigation for the affected system; and any open
tickets will be closed. The Licensee may engage the Licensor for future support
or remediation on a commercially quoted basis.
SECTION 7: SERVER SECURITY, CYBER ATTACKS
& CLIENT RESPONSIBILITY
7.1 Licensee's Full Security
Responsibility
7.1.1 From the point of delivery and
installation, the security of the Client Server — and all data hosted on it,
including data from all internal branches — is entirely the Licensee's
responsibility. The Licensor has no visibility into, control over, or responsibility
for the Licensee's server environment following installation, except during
active Warranty or AMC security audit engagements.
7.1.2 The Licensee acknowledges that a
self-hosted server environment, if not proactively and regularly maintained, is
exposed to threats including unauthorized access, malware, ransomware, SQL
injection, credential theft, and other cyberattacks. The responsibility for
protecting against these threats lies exclusively with the Licensee.
7.2 Cyber Attacks — Licensor's
Non-Liability
7.2.1 The Licensor bears no
responsibility whatsoever for any Cyber Attack targeting the Client Server, the
CRM system, or any data hosted on it. This includes unauthorized access,
malware, ransomware, data breaches, and any attack facilitated by weak or mishandled
server credentials.
7.2.2 The Licensee acknowledges a
critical technical reality: Cyber Attacks are frequently not detected at the
time they occur. Malicious actors may gain access to a server and remain
undetected for extended periods before any visible impact is observed. This underscores
the importance of proactive, periodic security monitoring rather than reactive
response.
7.2.3 In the event of a Cyber Attack,
the Licensor shall not be responsible for data loss, CRM downtime, financial
losses, or restoration costs. Restoration services are available on a
commercially quoted basis upon written request, but full recovery cannot be
guaranteed in all circumstances.
7.2.4 Where an attack has occurred as a
result of careless credential sharing, unauthorized third-party access, failure
to apply security patches, or any other negligence by the Licensee, the entire
responsibility for consequences rests with the Licensee.
7.3 Credential Management
7.3.1 The Licensee is solely responsible
for the security of all server access credentials including control panel,
FTP/SSH, database, and CRM admin passwords. These must be maintained
confidentially and shared only with authorized internal personnel.
7.3.2 The Licensee shall not provide
server credentials to any third-party developer, IT consultant, or external
party without prior written notification to and approval from the Licensor.
Unauthorized third-party access voids the active warranty and creates significant
security risk.
7.4 Daily Backups — Best Practice
& Limitation
7.4.1 The Licensor strongly recommends
automated daily backups of CRM application files and the database, stored in a
location separate from the primary server. Many hosting providers include
built-in backup tools (e.g., cPanel, Plesk) which should be properly configured
from the date of installation.
7.4.2 The Licensor draws attention to an
important limitation: where an attack has occurred over an extended period
without detection, backup files themselves may be compromised. Restoration from
backup may not fully resolve the security issue, and forensic investigation by
a qualified server security professional may be required.
7.4.3 Configuring, maintaining, testing,
and managing backups is entirely the Licensee's responsibility. The Licensor
has no access to the Licensee's backup systems and cannot be held responsible
for backup failure or unavailability.
SECTION 8: PERIODIC SECURITY AUDITS &
MONITORING
8.1 Importance of Proactive Security
Monitoring
8.1.1 The Licensor strongly recommends
that the Licensee implement a programme of regular, periodic security checks on
the Client Server. Given that Cyber Attacks frequently go undetected for
extended periods, reactive security measures are insufficient for protecting a
business-critical multi-company CRM system. Proactive, scheduled security
reviews are considered essential good practice.
8.1.2 The Licensee is advised to ensure
that at least one member of its internal team, or an engaged IT professional,
has the competency to conduct periodic server security reviews — including
checking access logs, reviewing failed login attempts, verifying software
patches, and scanning for malware indicators.
8.2 Licensor's Security Audit
Service
8.2.1 The Licensor's technical team
offers periodic Security Audit services as a value-added offering, conducted
with the Licensee's prior written permission.
8.2.2 During the active Warranty Period,
the Licensor will conduct at least one (1) Security Audit at no additional
charge. This audit reviews CRM file integrity, assesses the server against
known vulnerability indicators, and provides a written report of findings and
recommendations.
8.2.3 During an active AMC period,
periodic Security Audits are included as part of the AMC service. Outside
Warranty and AMC periods, Security Audit services are available on a
commercially quoted, on-request basis.
8.2.4 Security Audits are conducted
solely on the CRM application environment. All findings are communicated to the
Licensee's SPOC in a written report. Implementation of recommendations is the
Licensee's responsibility unless the Licensee separately engages the Licensor
for remediation. Credentials shared for audit purposes must be reset
immediately following completion.
SECTION 9: RESTORATION, RECOVERY &
PERMANENT DATA LOSS
9.1 In the event that the CRM system
or data on the Client Server is damaged, corrupted, or lost due to a Cyber
Attack, server failure, accidental deletion, or any other cause, the Licensee
may engage the Licensor to assist with restoration. Restoration services are
provided on a commercially quoted basis.
9.2 The Licensor will make reasonable
technical efforts to assist with restoration where engaged. However, full
restoration cannot be guaranteed in all circumstances. Factors that may prevent
full recovery include: absence of clean backups; extent of damage; depth of
server compromise; and time elapsed since the incident.
9.3 In cases of permanent,
irrecoverable data loss or CRM system damage, the Licensor bears no
responsibility. Restoration charges apply separately and do not extend,
reinstate, or modify any warranty or AMC coverage.
9.4 The Licensor wishes to be
transparent: Risper CRM is never responsible for data loss, system damage, or
service interruption that arises from conditions within the Licensee's server
environment. The Software performs within its designed parameters. What happens
within the Licensee's server ecosystem is outside the Licensor's control and
liability.
SECTION 10: WARRANTY SCOPE, AMC &
CONTINUED OPERATION
10.1 Warranty Scope
10.1.1 The twelve (12) month Warranty
Period covers defects and errors in the original Risper CRM functionality as
delivered. During this period, confirmed software defects are investigated and
fixed at no additional charge, subject to the warranty void conditions in
Section 6.
10.1.2 The warranty does not cover:
server misconfiguration; defects introduced by unauthorized modifications;
issues arising from the Licensee's internet connectivity or domain management;
performance issues caused by insufficient server resources; or third-party
software conflicts.
10.2 Continued Operation Without AMC
10.2.1 Risper CRM, as delivered and
installed on the Client Server, is designed to operate continuously and
independently without requiring ongoing Licensor intervention. Upon expiry of
the Warranty Period, the Licensee may continue using the CRM across all branches
without interruption, even without an active AMC. There are no automatic
cutoffs, license expiry dates, or functionality restrictions tied to AMC
renewal.
10.2.2 Without an active AMC, the
Licensee operates without access to: bug fixes for newly discovered issues;
software updates or new feature releases; security patches; or the Licensor's
proactive security audit service. These services remain available on a separately
quoted, on-request basis.
10.3 Annual Maintenance Contract
(AMC) — Optional
10.3.1 The Licensor offers an optional
AMC priced at ten percent (10%) of the One-Time License Fee annually. The AMC
covers: free software updates and patches released by the Licensor
(installation only upon Licensee's request and with the Licensee's permission);
minor configuration assistance; functional query support; ticket-based priority
support with a twenty-four (24) business hour response target during Business
Hours (10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Monday to Friday); and periodic Security Audits as
described in Section 8.
10.3.2 AMC Lapse & Service
Discontinuation: If the AMC is not renewed within thirty (30) days of its
expiry date, it is treated as a service discontinuation. Reinstatement after a
lapse of more than thirty (30) days requires payment of: (a) fifty percent (50%)
of the annual AMC fee as a reinstatement charge; plus (b) the full annual AMC
fee for the new year. Both amounts must be paid before reinstatement is
processed.
10.3.3 Non-renewal of the AMC does not
affect the validity of the Lifetime License. The CRM will continue to function
on the Licensee's server independently. It means the Licensor's proactive
support obligations cease, and any future support will be provided on an
as-quoted basis.
SECTION 11: FUTURE CUSTOMIZATIONS — LICENSOR
EXCLUSIVITY
11.1 Any future customization,
modification, enhancement, or integration of the CRM — for any branch or
internal entity — must be carried out exclusively by the Licensor's authorized
development team. The fact that the Software is hosted on the Licensee's own
server does not grant the Licensee, or any party it engages, any right to
modify the Build File.
11.2 The Licensee shall not engage any
third-party developer, freelancer, or IT consultant to modify, enhance, or
integrate the CRM in any way. Doing so immediately voids the active warranty
and may result in irreversible damage to the Build File or database.
11.3 All customization requests must be
submitted in writing by the Licensee's SPOC through the official support portal
at https://connect.raimsdigital.com/ The Licensor's development team will
assess the request, classify it, and provide a written quotation. Development
commences only after full payment is received.
11.4 The Licensee's server hosts the
compiled Build File — not open, editable source code — and any attempt to alter
it constitutes a material breach of this Agreement.
11.5 All customizations developed by
the Licensor remain the intellectual property of RAIMS Digital Technologies.
Customization fees are payment for the right to use the developed feature — not
for the underlying code.
SECTION 12: DATA OWNERSHIP, PROTECTION &
CONFIDENTIALITY
12.1 All data entered into the CRM by
the Licensee and its Authorized Users across all branches is and remains the
exclusive property of the Licensee. The Licensor has no access to, visibility
into, or control over the Licensee's data once the Build File has been
installed on the Client Server, except during Security Audits or support
engagements conducted with the Licensee's express written permission.
12.2 During any engagement where the
Licensor's technical team requires access to the Client Server — including
installation, customization, security audit, or restoration — the Licensor
undertakes to: access only what is technically necessary for the engagement;
not copy, retain, or transmit any Licensee data; and treat all data encountered
as strictly confidential.
12.3 The Licensee is responsible for
ensuring that all personal data stored within the CRM across all branches is
handled in compliance with applicable data protection laws, including UAE PDPL
and GDPR where applicable. As the data controller, the Licensee bears full
responsibility for lawful data collection, storage, and processing within its
CRM environment.
12.4 Hosting Isolation: The Licensor
strongly recommends that the Licensee does not host any other websites, web
applications, or third-party code on the same server environment as the Risper
CRM. Shared hosting environments introduce additional security vulnerabilities
that may affect CRM performance and data security across all branches.
12.5 Server Specification Maintenance:
The Licensee is responsible for maintaining the Client Server at or above the
minimum technical specifications communicated at installation. The Licensor is
not responsible for performance issues arising from the Licensee's failure to
maintain adequate server specifications.
SECTION 13: HOSTING MIGRATION & SERVER
REINSTALLATION
13.1 Licensee-Initiated Migration
13.1.1 If the Licensee wishes to migrate,
re-host, or transfer the CRM installation to a new server, cloud provider, or
hosting environment, prior written approval from the Licensor is required.
Migration must be carried out by the Licensor's technical team. Self-migration
or migration by a third party without Licensor involvement voids the active
warranty and support.
13.1.2 Migration requests must be
submitted through the official support portal. The Licensor will assess the
migration scope and provide a written quotation for the migration service.
13.2 Migration Fees
13.2.1 Standard Migration Fee: Migration
to a new server or hosting environment is charged at fifty percent (50%) of the
current One-Time License Fee per instance. This covers database and
configuration migration, domain and server reconfiguration, and post-migration
testing and validation.
13.2.2 Emergency Migration Surcharge:
Where a migration is requested with less than seven (7) Business Days' notice,
an additional surcharge of thirty percent (30%) of the standard migration fee
applies.
13.2.3 All migration fees are
non-refundable once migration work has commenced, regardless of outcome if
failure is attributable to the Licensee's infrastructure, credentials, or
non-cooperation.
13.3 Domain Changes
13.3.1 License transfer to a new primary
domain is subject to: payment of applicable migration fees; submission of a
License Transfer Request through the support portal; and decommissioning of the
old domain within forty-eight (48) hours of successful migration. Operating the
CRM on two domains simultaneously constitutes a breach of this Agreement.
13.4 Updates Installation Policy
13.4.1 Software updates and patches
released by the Licensor will not be automatically pushed to the Licensee's
server. Installation of any update or patch will only be performed upon
explicit written request from the Licensee and with the Licensee's permission,
ensuring full control over the server environment.
13.4.2 Updates are included under active
AMC or Warranty terms. Outside these periods, update installation is a
separately quoted service.
SECTION 14: RESTRICTIONS & COMPLIANCE
14.1 The Licensee may not resell,
distribute, sublicense, or allow any external party to use the Software under
this license. This license is granted exclusively for the Licensee's own
internal organizational use as described in Section 2.
14.2 Reverse engineering, decompiling,
disassembling, or extracting the source code of the Software for reuse in any
other project or platform is strictly prohibited.
14.3 The use of the Software must
comply with all applicable UAE and international laws, including data privacy
regulations (UAE PDPL, GDPR), export controls, anti-money laundering
regulations, and any sector-specific regulatory requirements applicable to the
Licensee's business. The Licensor is not liable for any illegal or
non-compliant use by the Licensee.

conduct an annual audit of the Licensee's use of the Software to verify
compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including entity count and server
environment. Fifteen (15) Business Days advance written notice will be
provided.
SECTION 15: PERPETUAL LICENSE SURVIVAL
15.1 The termination of AMC services,
expiry of the Warranty Period, or cessation of any other support arrangement
does not revoke or affect the perpetual license grant. The Licensee retains the
right to continue hosting and operating the last provided version of the Build
File across all its licensed branches indefinitely under the original terms of
this Agreement, subject to the restrictions in Section 14.
15.2 Following AMC discontinuation or
expiry, the Licensee will no longer have access to: the Licensor's support
portal for covered services; future software updates or security patches;
warranty coverage; or the Licensor's proactive security audit service. These
services remain available on a commercially quoted, on-request basis.
15.3 The Licensee retains the right to
discontinue the AMC at any time without affecting the perpetual license. The
Licensee acknowledges that operating without AMC means the CRM will run on the
version last installed, without the benefit of security updates or new features
released thereafter.

liability under this Agreement shall not exceed the One-Time License Fee paid

for loss, damage, or disruption arising from: the Licensee's server

to maintain adequate backups; failure to apply security patches; unauthorized
modifications to the Build File; or any other condition within the Licensee's
server environment.

either party's liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or
for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that
cannot be excluded by applicable law.
