End User Agreement

This agreement is a binding legal agreement between Okapya Software Solutions Inc. (“Okapya”) and the user of a software product provided by Okapya (the “Software”). This Agreement is strictly between Okapya and the person purchasing a license to or subscribing to the Software (“you”).

The Software may be available through an application marketplace operated by a third party (e.g. Atlassian, monday.com) (“Marketplace Owner”) and may be designed to be used in connection with a software platform provided by the Marketplace Owner or its affiliates (“Marketplace Platform”). The Marketplace Owner is not a party to this agreement and does not incur any obligation pursuant to this agreement but may be deemed a third-party beneficiary thereof.

Your use of the Marketplace Platform and the Software is subject to any agreement that may exist between you and the Marketplace Owner (or any affiliate thereof), including any terms of use applicable to the marketplace, to the Marketplace Platform or to other software used in connection with the Software.

1. Interpretation

This agreement shall be read and interpreted with any specific terms applicable to the software product you subscribed or purchased a license to. Such terms may be included in an order form or similar document or provided at the time of checkout on the marketplace operated by the Marketplace Owner.

2. Grant of License

If you are using a Perpetual Licensed version of the Software, Okapya hereby grants you a limited, revocable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to download and use the Software only on hardware systems owned, leased or controlled by you, subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement (the “Perpetual License”). Subject to termination by Okapya in case of a default, the Perpetual License  shall be
perpetual.
If you are using a Subscription Based version  of the Software, Okapya hereby grants you a limited, revocable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Software in accordance with the terms and conditions of this agreement (the “Subscription Based License”).
Regardless of the type of license purchased by you, Okapya also grants you the right to reproduce the manuals and other documents available online relating to the installation and use of the Software (the “Documentation”) in association with authorized copies of the Software for the sole purpose of using the Software in accordance with this agreement.
The Software and Documentation are licensed, not sold. Even though copies of the Software may be provided on media of different formats, copies of the Software on different media formats do not constitute multiple licenses to the Software.

3. License Limitations

The Software may be licensed for a limited number of users, or its usage may be limited in any other way indicated at the time of your subscription or purchase of a license. You agree to respect all such limitations.

4. Authorized Users

If the Software is designed to be used in connection with a Marketplace Platform, each user of the Software must be authorized to use the Marketplace Platform. You must ensure that all authorized users comply with the terms and conditions of this agreement and you are liable for their conduct.

5. Fees

Any license granted herein is conditional on the payment of all fees as agreed between you and Okapya or as specified by the Marketplace Owner, as the case may be.

6. Maintenance

The Perpetual License includes free version upgrades for the duration of any mandatory maintenance period required by the Marketplace Owner, if any. The Subscription Based License includes maintenance and version upgrades for the duration of your subscription.
Okapya or the Marketplace Owner may from time to time perform maintenance on the infrastructure used to provide access to the cloud hosted versions of the Software. Okapya will use reasonable efforts to ensure that maintenance is carried out in a manner that minimizes the impact of periods of unavailability of the Software.

  7.2 You may not reproduce, transmit or provide access to the Software on any computer that is not authorized under this agreement, either because it is not owned or controlled by you, because it exceeds the limits on copying and use set by this agreement or for the benefit of any person that is not an authorized user;

  7.3 You may not loan, sell, or otherwise distribute all or any part of the Software or Documentation;
  7.4 Except to the extent applicable law prohibits such restrictions, you may not modify, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software or the Marketplace Platform in whole or in part, or create any derivative works from or sublicense any rights in the Software or the Marketplace Platform or provide your assistance to any effort of a third party to do so;
