OEM DISTRIBUTION SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

 

This OEM Distribution Subscription Agreement (“Agreement”), dated November 12, 2014 (“Effective Date”), is entered into by Guidance Software, Inc. (“Customer”) and MongoDB, Inc. (“Company”). Capitalized terms have the meaning set forth throughout the Agreement and Exhibits.

 

1.              Orders and Fees.  As set forth in an applicable Order Form entered into between the parties, Company will provide Customer with the License and Support for the Licensed Software solely in conjunction with the Named Application.  Customer will pay fees as set forth in Exhibit A and the applicable Order Form.

 

2.              License Grant.

 

2.1.                            Subject to the terms of this Agreement and during the Term (except with respect to sublicenses to End Customers, which are perpetual as set forth in and subject to Section 2.1.3), Company grants to Customer a worldwide, irrevocable (except as expressly set forth herein), royalty-free, non-assignable, non-exclusive license to:

 

2.1.1.                  install, copy, reproduce, publish and use the Licensed Software solely for Customer’s internal testing, development and support purposes and for demonstrating the Named Application to potential End Customers;

 

2.1.2.                  install, copy, reproduce, publish, use and incorporate the Licensed Software (in object code format) and Documentation into the Named Application; and

 

2.1.3.                  sublicense a perpetual right to use to End Customers the Licensed Software and Documentation as part of the Named Application under a EULA, including licensing of the Named Application on an ASP, SaaS, hosted, and/or service bureau basis, which must be: (i) accepted by each End Customer (including via a “click-through” software licensing agreement”) and (ii) at a minimum, include terms similar to those set forth in Exhibit B.  After the Term, Customer must pay a mutually agreed Support Subscription Fee to receive Support for and Updates to perpetual licenses granted to End Customers as set forth in an Order Form signed by both parties.

 

2.2.                            Customer may not distribute the Licensed Software as stand-alone software. The use of the Licensed Software must always be in conjunction with the use of the Named Application and at least one data source of the Licensed Software needs to go through the Named Application. The Named Application must include additional functionality and features from the Licensed Software so that the main reason that an End Customer would be licensing the Named Application is to obtain the e-discovery and other digital investigation functionality of the Named Application and not to obtain the functionality included in the Licensed Software.  Customer may not embed the Licensed Software into any application, other than Named Application, without the prior written consent of Company.

 

2.3.                            The Licensed Software and the Documentation are licensed not sold. Customer acknowledges that the Licensed Software constitute a valuable trade secret of Company.  Accordingly, except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, Customer agrees not to and will not authorize any third party to: (a) modify, adapt, alter, recast, transform, translate or create derivative works from the Licensed Software; (b) use (or cause or permit to be used) the Licensed Software for rental or lease basis; (c) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Licensed Software; (d) except for back-up purposes and any purposes allowed herein, the Licensed Software may not be copied or otherwise reproduced; (e) remove, alter or obscure in any way any copyright notices and messages indicating the code is Company’s property on or within the copies of the Licensed Software and/or the Documentation furnished by Company to Customer; (f) use  the Support in any  manner or for any  purpose  not specifically permitted by this Agreement; (g) distribute   modified   Licensed Software    under  Company’s trademarks; or (h) fork or bifurcate the source code for Licensed Software into a separately maintained source code repository so that development done on the original code requires manual work to be transferred to the forked software or so that the forked software starts to have features not present in the original software. Nothing in this Section 2 shall prohibit Customer from licensing Named Applications to, and Company hereby agrees that Customer shall be allowed to license Named Applications to: (A) consultants, service providers, managed service providers, and other similar End Customers who utilize the Named Applications to provide consulting, IT support and management, investigative support, incident response, digital forensic or other similar and related services where the Named Applications are leased to, rented to or otherwise utilized on behalf of, such End Customer’s own customers and clients either with the Named Applications installed on such End Customer’s computer network or on the customer / client’s computer network; and (B) to End Customers on a Saas / subscription hosted basis.

 

3.              Support.  Company will provide Support for the Licensed Software in accordance with an applicable Order Form and the terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit C (the “Support Policy”). Customer shall not use the Enterprise Subscription on any Servers which are not licensed under the Enterprise Subscription.  Customer agrees that its use of the Support will be to facilitate its  use  of  license  rights  and satisfaction of  its  obligations  under this Agreement.  Company will not be obligated to support any Named Application.

 

4.              Publicity and Confidentiality.

 

4.1.                            Neither party will disclose, market or advertise to third parties the terms of this Agreement  (including the Fees paid  hereunder)  without  the  prior  written  consent  of  the  other party except that a party may disclose such terms to its legal or financial advisors and agents on a need to know basis in connection with due diligence requests. For purposes of this Section 4.1, Company’s relationship with Customer is confidential and shall not be disclosed by Company in any way to third parties without the express written consent of Customer.  If Customer chooses to do so, in its sole discretion, the parties may work together to prepare and release a mutually agreed upon press release.

 

4.2.                            For purposes of this Agreement, the party disclosing Confidential Information is the “Discloser,” and the party receiving Confidential Information is the “Recipient.” Confidential Information disclosed to the other party must be clearly identified.  Written Confidential Information must be clearly marked in a conspicuous place with an appropriate legend identifying the information as confidential. Confidential Information that is not written must be identified before, during, or promptly after presentation or communication. The Recipient does not have an obligation to protect Confidential Information that

is: (a) known to Recipient without restriction before receipt from Discloser; (b) publicly available through no fault of Recipient; (c) rightfully received by Recipient from a third party without a duty of confidentiality; or (d) independently developed by Recipient.  If Confidential Information is required to be produced by law, court order, or governmental authority, the Recipient must immediately notify the Discloser of that obligation.  The Recipient will use the Confidential Information only to further the relationship between the parties.  Confidential Information may not be disclosed to any third party without the written consent of the Discloser. At the Discloser’s request, all written, recorded, graphical, or other tangible Confidential Information, including copies, must be returned to the Discloser or destroyed by the Recipient.  At the request of the Discloser, the Recipient will furnish a certificate, signed by an officer of the Recipient, certifying that any Confidential Information not returned to the Discloser has been destroyed.

 

5.              Intellectual Property.  Each party retains all rights not expressly granted hereunder (including rights under any trademarks, copyrights, patents, or other intellectual property of such party). Customer will use Company trademarks only in accordance with Company’s then-current Trademark Standards for Use set forth at www.mongodb.com/trademarks. Company will use Customer’s trademarks only in accordance with this Agreement, and when used, only in compliance with Customer’s then-current trademark use policy set forth at https://www.guidancesoftware.com/about/Pages/branding-guidelines.aspx. Any use by Customer of Company trademarks will inure to the benefit of Company, and vice versa.

 

6.              Warranties and Disclaimers.

 

6.1.                            Company warrants that the Support shall be performed: (i) by qualified, and sufficiently trained individuals, (b) in a timely and workmanlike manner consistent with industry standards reasonably applicable to the performance of such Support, and (iii) in material compliance with the Support Policy attached hereto as Exhibit C.  If Customer believes there has been a breach of this warranty, Customer must notify Company in writing promptly following delivery of the Support stating in reasonable detail the nature of the alleged breach.  If there has been a breach of this warranty, Company shall correct or re-perform, at no additional charge to Customer, any affected Support to cause them to comply with this warranty.

 

6.2.                            Conformity.

If Company receives notice of a material error or other breach of this warranty (a “Defect”) during the Term, then Company will (at no additional charge) correct the Defect as soon as reasonably practical after receiving notice. If Company is unable or unwilling to correct a Defect that has been identified by Customer, then Customer may terminate this Agreement (in whole or in part) upon notice to Company, without financial liability or obligation (for the portion terminated) on the part of Customer, and Company shall promptly refund all prepaid but unused amounts paid by Customer pursuant to this Agreement (for the portion terminated).

Company further represents and warrants that the Licensed Software shall not contain any computer code or any other procedures, routines or mechanisms designed by Company (or its personnel) to: (i) disrupt, disable, harm or impair in any way the Licensed Software’s (or any other software’s) orderly operation based on the elapsing of a period of time, exceeding an authorized number of copies, advancement to a particular date or other numeral (sometimes referred to as “time bombs”, “time locks”, or “drop dead” devices); (ii) cause the Licensed Software to damage or corrupt any of Customer’s, or any End Customers’ data, storage media, programs, equipment or communications, or otherwise interfere with Customer’s or any End Customer’s operations;  (iii) permit Company, its personnel, its licensors or any other third-party, to access the Licensed Software (or any other software or Customer’s or its End Customer’s computer systems) for any reason (sometimes referred to as “traps”, “access codes” or “trap door” devices); or (iv) send Licensed Software usage reports to Company. Company will not unilaterally (i.e., without appropriate judicial order) remove, deinstall, repossess, modify, delete, damage, deactivate, disable, or interfere with the Licensed Software for any reason (including a dispute relating to the Agreement).

8.              Indemnification.

 

8.1.                            Company will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Customer, its End Customer’s, affiliates, representatives, directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including taxes, fees, fines, penalties, interest, reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) as incurred (collectively “Damages”) arising out of, or relating to, (i) a claim (an “Infringement Claim”) by a third-party that the Licensed Software as licensed under this Agreement and the applicable Order Form infringes, misappropriates or violates such third-party’s intellectual property rights; or (ii) a claim by a third-party arising out of any breach by Company (or its agents or personnel) of the obligations assumed under, or the representations, warranties or covenants provided in Sections 4 and 6.4 of this Agreement. Company’s indemnity obligation under this Section shall not extend to claims based on an unauthorized modification of the Licensed Software made by an Indemnitee where the Licensed Software would not be infringing without such modification. To the extent any of the terms of any proposed settlement affects or may affect Customer’s rights or obligations arising hereunder, no such terms shall be agreed to without Customer’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, Customer may participate at its own cost in any such action to protect its interests.

 

8.2.                            Customer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Company, its affiliates, representatives, directors, officers, employees and agents from and against from and against any Damages arising out of, or relating to, (i) an Infringement Claim by a third-party that the Named Application (excluding the Licensed  Software) infringes, misappropriates or violates such third-party’s intellectual property rights; or (ii) a claim by a third-party arising out of any breach by Customer (or its agents or personnel) of the obligations assumed under, or the representations, warranties or covenants provided in Section 4. To the extent any of the terms of any proposed settlement affects or may affect Company’s rights or obligations arising hereunder, no such terms shall be agreed to without Company’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, Company may participate at its own cost in any such action to protect its interests.

 

8.3.                            Indemnification Procedures. Each party’s Indemnification obligations hereunder are limited to third party claims that arise during the Term and are conditioned upon the following: (i) Each party must give the other: (i) prompt written notice of the Infringement Claim, (ii) exclusive control over the defense and settlement of the Infringement Claim, and (iii) reasonable cooperation in connection with the defense and settlement of the Infringement Claim.

infringement is based on: (a) combination of the Licensed Software with other software, data or business processes that are not authorized by Company or in the Documentation, (b) use for a purpose or in a manner for which the Licensed Software was not designed, (c) use of any older release of the Licensed Software when use of a newer revision would have avoided the infringement, provided that this condition does not apply to a use of an older release of the Licensed Software by an End Customer as long as Customer uses best efforts to recommend to the End Customer that the End Customer upgrade to the non-infringing version and take commercially reasonable steps to have End Customers adopt the non-infringing version, (d) any unauthorized modification of the Licensed Software or Deliverables made by anyone other than Company (including by Company via Update or other Support), (e) any intellectual property right owned or licensed by Customer, excluding the Licensed Software and Deliverables, (f) Company’s compliance with any materials, designs, specifications or instructions expressly provided in writing by Customer, (g) Customer’s claim or lawsuit against a third party, or (h) Customer’s violation of the licensing rights of any third party open source software.

 

8.4.                            Should any Licensed Software become, or in Company’s opinion be likely to become, the subject of such an Infringement Claim, Company will, at its option and expense: (a) procure for Customer the right to make continued use of the Licensed Software, (b) replace or modify such so that it becomes non-infringing, or (c) request return of the Licensed Software and, upon receipt thereof, the corresponding licenses are terminated and Company will refund a prorated portion of the prepaid but unused Fees paid for the applicable Subscriptions.

 

9.              Term and Termination.

 

9.1.                            This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and continue until the end of the term set forth on an applicable Order Form or terminated earlier as set forth below (the “Term”). The termination of this Agreement will not affect any: (a) Order Form in effect on the date of expiration or termination (except in cases where Customer decides, in its sole discretion, to terminate such Order Form(s) in connection with termination of this Agreement by Customer due to a breach by Company which is not cured within applicable cure period), or (b) rights of existing End Customers who hold perpetual licenses of Named Applications prior to termination expiration of this Agreement. Either party may terminate this Agreement or Order Forms in the event that the other party breaches this Agreement and does not cure such breach within thirty (30) days of written notice.

 

9.2.                            Sections 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10 will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

 

10.       General.

 

10.1.                     This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of New York, excluding any applicable conflict of laws rules. For all disputes arising out of this Agreement, the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts serving New York County, New York.

 

10.2.                     Customer may not export or re-export the Licensed Software except in compliance with the United States Export Administration Act and the related rules and regulations and similar non-U.S. government restrictions, if applicable.

 

10.3.                     Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, all notices will be in writing and will be mailed (via registered or certified mail, return receipt requested), delivered by a nationally recognized express courier service with the ability to track shipments, or personally delivered to the other party at the address set forth above (or at such other address as either party may designate in writing to the other party).  All notices will be effective upon receipt.

 

10.4.                     This Agreement is the parties’ entire agreement relating to its subject and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreements on that subject. All amendments to this Agreement must be in writing, executed by both parties and expressly state that they are amending this Agreement. Purchase orders will be for the sole purpose of defining quantities, prices and describing the Subscriptions and Support to be provided under this Agreement and to this extent only are incorporated as a part of this Agreement and all other terms in purchase orders are rejected.

 

10.5.                     Failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver thereof. No waiver will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the waiving party. If a party waives any right, power, or remedy, the waiver will not waive any successive or other right, power, or remedy the party may have under this Agreement. If any provision is found to be unenforceable, it and any related provisions will be interpreted to best accomplish the unenforceable provision’s essential purpose.

 

10.6.                     If Licensed Software is being acquired by or on behalf of the U.S. Government or by a U.S. Government prime contractor or subcontractor (at any tier), in accordance with 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-4 (for Department of Defense (“DOD”) acquisitions) and 48 C.F.R. 2.101 and 12.212 (for non-DOD acquisitions), the government’s rights in such Licensed Software and any Documentation, including its rights to use, modify, reproduce, release, perform, display, or disclose Licensed Software or any Documentation, will be subject in all respects to the license rights and restrictions provided in this Agreement to the extent of applicable law.

FEES

 

1.              Fees and Payment Terms.  Customer will pay all fees set forth on the Order Form.  For each Licensed Software copy Distributed in a Named Application, Customer will pay to Company a License Fee and Support Subscription Fee.  Customer will pay all undisputed fees and expenses as set forth on the applicable Order Form, without deduction or setoff. If Customer fails to pay undisputed Fees in accordance with this Section, Company may suspend fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement until such payment is received by Company.  If any applicable law requires Customer to withhold amounts from any payments to Company under this Agreement, (a) Customer will effect such withholding, remit such amounts to the appropriate taxing authorities and promptly furnish Company with tax receipts evidencing the payments of such amounts and (b) the sum payable by Customer upon which the deduction or withholding is based will be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after such deduction or withholding, Company receives and retains, free from liability for such deduction or withholding, a net amount equal to the amount Company would have received and retained absent the required deduction or withholding.

 

2.              Taxes.  Customer will pay directly any taxes arising out of this Agreement, including applicable local, state, federal and international sales taxes, value added taxes, withholding taxes, and any other taxes or duties of any kind, but excluding taxes on Company’s net income and all employer reporting and payment obligations with respect to Company’s personnel.

 

3.              Reporting.  Within 30 days of the end of each quarter of the Term, Customer will provide a written report to billing@mongodb.com certifying: (a) the total number of Named Application copies Distributed during such quarter, (b) the total number of Named Application copies reaching the anniversary of its orginal date of being Distributed during such quarter, and (c) the resulting amount of Support Subscription Fees due to Company.

 

4.              Records and Audit.  During the Term and for three (3) years thereafter, Customer will keep and maintain written records and accounts regarding Customer’s use and sale of the Licensed Software and compliance with this Agreement. Company, or its independent accountants or consultants, will have the right no more than once per calendar year, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Customer, to conduct periodic reviews or audits of Customer’s records and obtain copies of any such records from Customer. The review and audit will be conducted at Company’s expense; provided, however, that  if the inspection and audit  reveals  that Customer  has  failed  to  comply  in  any  material  respect  with  this Agreement, Customer will pay  all unpaid and undisputed amounts due to Company revealed during such inspection and audit.

 

5.              Prepaid Support Subscription Fees.  The Prepaid Support Subscription Fees become due, and payable in accordance with Section 1 of this Exhibit.  The PrePaid Support Subscription Fees will be drawn down by fees owed per the Support Subscription Fees described below until the balance of the Prepaid Support Subscription Fees is $0.00.  Once the Prepaid Support Subscription Fees have been exhasted per the example contained in Table 1 below, upon distribution of each copy of the Named Application, and on each anniversary thereafter that Customer’s End Customers continue to use the Named Application or Customer continues to support the Named Application, Customer will pay Company a Support Subscription Fee as provided on a relelvant price list in the Order Form.
