  1. Grant of License. Licensor hereby grants Licensee a limited non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sub licensable, non-assignable right to license to the RCA Products indicated on the attached RCA Products Order Form (the “RCA Products”). RCA Products are accessed through Licensor’s password protected web site (the “Web Site”). Use of the trademarks, service marks, logos and designs (the “RCA Trademarks”) is not permitted other than as set forth in the terms of the Agreement. Such license shall be limited to using such marks in a nominative manner, when referring to Licensor. Any goodwill acquired in using the RCA Trademarks shall vest in Licensor. Licensor owns and at all times will continue to own its respective trademarks and Licensee will not take any actions inconsistent with Licensor’s ownership rights.
  2. Fees. Licensee agrees to pay all fees and charges as outlined on the RCA Product Order Form(s), including, but not limited to, all applicable sales, use, value added or other taxes of any kind excluding income taxes incurred in connection with the Licensee’s subscription, as provided under the Agreement. All fees and charges are non-refundable. In the event of an assignment by Licensee per Section 19, or a merger of Licensee with another entity or the acquisition of the whole or substantial part of Licensee’s (or Licensee’s holding company’s) shares or business by another company, including another licensee, separate terms must be negotiated with Licensor, including in relation to a merger to add or combine any users/user groups from the entity merged with Licensee. Additionally, Licensor reserves the right to increase or modify the fees paid to ensure that the aggregate fees received by Licensor are not reduced by such merger/assignment.
  3. Permitted Users.  Licensor will provide a specified number of employees of Licensee with login credentials to the Web Site as outlined in the attached RCA Product Order Form(s), to be designated by Licensee. Each employee of Licensee must enroll separately and complete his or her own registration. Only a registered Licensee employee may access the RCA Products using their assigned username and password. Assigned usernames and passwords are for the sole use of the employee that it is assigned to and each employee is strictly prohibited from sharing, transferring, and/or assigning those credentials to any other person(s). Licensee may however, reassign Web Site access to a new employee from time to time during the dates as outlined on the RCA Product Order Form(s). Licensee shall:

    (a) provide accurate, current and complete registration information and

    (b) maintain and update this information to keep it accurate, current and complete. Licensor reserves the right to require registered users to reset their password from time to time. All uses of the Web Site must be through the interface provided on the Web Site. Licensor reserves the right to audit and electronically monitor the number of requests for information a Licensee submits, and the frequency and duration of a Licensee’s online activity. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that, without the expressed written consent of Licensor, Licensee shall not permit any contractor, consultant, service provider, advisor, agent, or other third party person to have access to the RCA Products or the Web Site for any purpose. Licensee further acknowledges that Licensee is fully responsible for all acts or omissions of its Licensee employees and for all liabilities incurred through use of any login credentials (whether lawful or unlawful) and that any acts or omissions using such login credentials will be deemed to have been undertaken by Licensee. Licensor will not be responsible for any liability to Licensee arising out of or in connection with such acts or omissions.

    (a)In this clause 11, a word or expression defined in the GST Act which is not otherwise defined in this Agreement has the meaning given to it in that Act. “GST” has the meaning given to that term in the GST Act and “GST Act” means A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cth).

    (b)All consideration provided under this Agreement is exclusive of GST unless it is specifically expressed to be GST inclusive. If a party (“Supplier”) makes a taxable supply to another party (“Recipient”) under or in connection with this Agreement in respect of which GST is payable, the Recipient must pay the Supplier an additional amount equal to the GST payable on the supply (unless the consideration for the taxable supply was specified to include GST). The additional amount must be paid by the Recipient by the later of: (i) the date when any consideration for the taxable supply is first paid or provided; and (ii) the date when the Supplier issues a tax invoice to the Recipient.
     

    (c)If an adjustment event varies the amount of GST payable by a Supplier under this Agreement, the Supplier must adjust the amount payable by the Recipient to take account of the adjustment event. Any resulting payment must be paid by the Supplier to the Recipient, or the Recipient to the Supplier (as appropriate) within ten (10) business days of the Supplier becoming aware of the adjustment event. Any payment under this clause is to be treated as an increase or decrease of the additional amount payable under clause 11(b).

    (d)If the GST payable in relation to a supply is less than the amount the Recipient has paid the Supplier under clause 11(b), the Supplier is only obligated to pay a refund of GST to the Recipient to the extent the Supplier receives a refund of that GST from the Australian Taxation Office.

    (e)Subject to an express provision in this Agreement to the contrary, any payment, reimbursement or indemnity required to be made to a party (the “Payee”) under this Agreement which is calculated by reference to an amount paid or payable by the Payee to a third party (“Outgoing”) will be calculated by reference to that Outgoing inclusive of GST, less the amount of any input tax credit which the Payee is entitled to claim on that Outgoing.

    (f)If part of a supply is a separate supply under GST law, that part is a separate supply for the purpose of this clause.

    (g)Where the Supplier, Recipient or Payee in this clause 11 is a member of a GST group, a reference to the Supplier, Recipient or Payee includes the representative member of the GST group.
