End User License Agreement for PTV Software Contracting parties, scope

1 Contracting parties, scope


1.1 This End User License Agreement (“EULA”) is made by and between PTV
Planung Transport Verkehr GmbH, Haid-und-Neu-Strasse 15, 76131 Karlsruhe,
Germany (“PTV”) and such entity (“Customer”) that has received and/or uses
software programs and data provided with the software (together “PTV
Software”) or data of PTV or of any third party providers (“PTV-Data”), and that
entered into an agreement on the delivery and use of such PTV Software and/or
PTV-Data with PTV or an affiliate, reseller or other contractual partner (each a
“Third-Party Distributor”) of PTV, provided that this EULA has become part of
the contract. Both PTV and the Customer are being referred to individually as
“Party” and jointly as “Parties”. The Parties of this EULA shall be PTV and the
Customer, even if the Customer received the PTV Software or the PTV-Data from
a Third-Party Distributor.

1.2 Where this EULA regulates the rights and obligations of the Parties with regard to
PTV-Software, these regulations equally apply to PTV-Data.

1.3 This EULA covers the PTV Software delivered to the Customer in tangible (e.g.
on a data carrier) or intangible (e.g. via download) form, whether protected by
copyright or not, in any format (source code, object code etc.), as well as all
related information, documentation and material such as handbooks, guidelines
and technical documentation (collectively the “Licensed Material”). Any
translation of the Licensed Material is part of the Licensed Material.

1.4 The rights granted to the Customer under this EULA are limited to:

a) the version of the Licensed Material initially delivered to the Customer;

b) service packs to the Licensed Material delivered to the Customer in the


course of the fulfillment of warranty obligations (if any); and

c) updates and updated versions of the Licensed Material provided they were
delivered to the Customer under a maintenance agreement and the Customer
paid maintenance fees owed pursuant to such maintenance agreement.

1.5 The Customer is responsible for the purchase or licensing of all additional
equipment and software necessary to install and operate the Licensed Material
as detailed by PTV, if applicable. Updated versions of the Licensed Material may
require additional equipment and/or software, as well as updated versions of the
equipment and software. Purchase or licensing of these items, if required, is
solely the Customer’s responsibility.

 PTV Group Feb/22 Page 3/14


End User License Agreement for PTV Software Intellectual property rights, license

1.6 All third-party providers and suppliers of PTV that are involved in the provision of
services are included in the protection provided by these terms. The Customer or
partner of PTV shall indemnify these third-party providers and suppliers against
claims by third parties resulting from a breach of these terms.

2 Intellectual property rights, license


2.1 PTV and PTV’s suppliers hold all right, title, interest and intellectual property
rights in and to the Licensed Material (including but not limited to copyrights,
trademarks, service marks, patents, trade secrets and ancillary rights).

2.2 PTV reserves the right to technically protect the Licensed Material against
illegitimate copying, use or distribution with security devices such as dongles,
passwords or similar.

2.3 The Customer may only use the Licensed Material itself within its own company
for internal business purposes. The Customer has to observe any contractual
agreements regarding the use of the PTV Software (e.g. limitation of the number
of users, installations etc.) and must secure such limitations by using adequate
technical measures (the granting of rights to use the PTV Software to the
Customer, hereinafter “License”).

2.4 The License granted to the Customer may be granted for a limited period of time
(“Time-Limited License”) or for an unlimited period of time (“Lifetime License”).

2.5 The Customer's Time-Limited License is non-exclusive, limited in time, non-


transferable, revocable and non-sublicensable and may only be used during the
contract term exclusively for Customer’s internal business operations as an end
user.
The Customer's Lifetime License is non-exclusive, perpetual, non-transferable
except as set forth in sec. 5.1, irrevocable, non-sublicensable and may be used
exclusively for Customer’s internal business operations as an end user.
The Parties may agree on further restrictions regarding the duration, territory and
scope of the License.

2.6 For the software part of the Licensed Material, the License is limited to the object
code and shall not cover the source code. PTV shall not be under the obligation
to provide the Customer with any source code.

 PTV Group Feb/22 Page 4/14


End User License Agreement for PTV Software Commencement and withdrawal of rights

2.7 Any use or exploitation of the Licensed Material not explicitly allowed in this
EULA or pursuant to mandatory statutory law (e.g. altering, amending, lending,
leasing, renting, distribution in tangible or intangible form, outsourcing, software
as a service etc.) is subject to the prior written consent of PTV which PTV may
give in its sole discretion.

2.8 The Customer may not attempt to alter, translate or modify all or part of the
Licensed Material and may not create derivative works from the Licensed
Material. The Customer may not transfer, resell or distribute any Licensed
Material. The Customer may not in any way, commercially or non-commercially,
rent, lease or make available the Licensed Material on a public network unless
there is a written agreement with PTV allowing the Customer to do so.

2.9 All use cases of the Licensed Material refer to the use in a closed user circle, i.e.
no public and freely accessible applications (public online services) are permitted.

2.10 The Customer may not combine or mix data and results of the PTV Software with
third-party applications and third-party data.

3 Commencement and withdrawal of rights


3.1 The granting of rights of use to the Licensed Material is subject to full payment of
the license fees. Until full payment of the license fees, PTV grants a right to use
in accordance with the provisions of the contract which is revocable at any time
and granted for a maximum period of thirty (30) days.
Due to an automatic program lock, the PTV Software can no longer be used if full
payment of the license fees has not been affected
 within thirty (30) days of invoicing; or

 at the beginning of the new License Period.

Upon full payment of the license fees, license information will be updated and the
PTV Software will be activated by means of the respective licensing technology.

For accounting and control purposes, the PTV Software may be equipped with
licensing technology. At regular intervals, the applicable license information is
retrieved automatically or with Customer’s cooperation from back-end systems of
PTV and its contractors and is stored in the software.

The license information retrieved includes, inter alia, data of licensed program
versions, software maintenance and update options, functionality and size,
licensed number of users, license type and License Period of the PTV Software.

 PTV Group Feb/22 Page 5/14


End User License Agreement for PTV Software Copies, reverse engineering

For any changes and renewals, the license information is updated, if necessary,
via automatic processes. In certain cases, Customer may be required to
cooperate for replacing licensing containers. PTV is entitled to irrevocably
deactivate licenses reported as being no longer usable (e.g. dongle or computer
lost or defective) by Customer, if Customer attempts to use them again.

The licensing technology may require an online access, i.e. that the
PTV Software can only be used if online access is available and the license data
is successfully matched via Internet. This automatic matching via Internet may be
subject to certain restrictions in terms of availability, so that only an availability of
99,9% can be guaranteed for the automated matching of the license information.
In the event of non-availability, the Customer shall contact PTV’s first-level
support for maintenance of the PTV Software.

3.2 Time-Limited Licenses expire automatically at the end of the contractually agreed
License Period.

3.3 PTV may withdraw the License for good cause. Such good cause shall be given
particularly, but not limited to, if the Customer severely infringes this EULA.

3.4 The Customer’s right to use the Licensed Material expires upon expiration or
withdrawal of the License. Customer must return to PTV all data carriers, dongles
and other devices received from PTV, uninstall the PTV Software including any
backup copies thereof, destroy or irreversibly delete the Licensed Material and
confirm in writing to PTV that such return, destruction or deletion was completed
successfully.

4 Copies, reverse engineering


4.1 The Customer may make a copy of the software part of the Licensed Material for
its own security back-up purposes, only as stated in the applicable provisions of
mandatory copyright law. Any back-up copy must be stored safely and must be
labeled with a correct copyright note. Copyright notes may not be removed,
altered or inhibited. Documents may only be copied for the Customer’s internal
purposes.

 PTV Group Feb/22 Page 6/14


End User License Agreement for PTV Software Transfer of Licensed Material

4.2 To the extent that mandatory copyright law grants the Customer the right to
decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer software in order to receive
information necessary for the development of independent compatible computer
programs (“Decompilation”), the Customer is obliged to request PTV to provide
it with the necessary information before such Decompilation. Decompilation is
only allowed if PTV did not provide such information within two (2) weeks of the
Customer’s request. Any information received by the Customer in this context is
subject to strict confidentiality and may not be disclosed to any third party.

5 Transfer of Licensed Material


5.1 For a Lifetime License, the Customer may transfer the Licensed Material
legitimately received from PTV or a Third-Party Distributor. Any transfer of a
Lifetime License is subject to the following rules:
a) If the Licensed Material was delivered to the Customer on an original data
carrier, the Customer may only transfer the Licensed Material on the original
data carrier. If the Licensed Material was delivered to the Customer via online
download, the Customer may produce and transfer a copy of the files
originally downloaded.
b) Upon such transfer, the Customer must irreversibly delete any of its copies of
the Licensed Material that has been transferred, whether stored on data
media or computers.
c) The Customer may only transfer the whole license and installation of the
Licensed Material. It may not transfer parts of such License such as particular
usage rights for a contractually agreed number of users, transactions, items
etc. If the Licensed Material is installed on a server computer and run on a
designated number of client computers (client-server application), the
Customer may particularly not transfer usage rights for a number of client
computers without disposing of the server installation as such.
d) Dongles may only be sold or imparted along with the associated Licensed
Material.
e) Any transfer must be of permanent nature, i.e. without any option or claim of
the Customer to get the Licensed Material back after a fixed or variable
period of time.
f) The third party to whom the Licensed Material is transferred by the Customer
(“Purchaser”) commits itself in writing vis-à-vis PTV to observe the terms of
this EULA.
g) The Customer must inform PTV in writing in advance on the transfer and
provide PTV with the details of the Purchaser.

 PTV Group Feb/22 Page 7/14


End User License Agreement for PTV Software Trial License and Academic License

5.2 The Customer may not disclose, transfer, dispose of, resell or distribute any
personal security information or security items related to the Licensed Material
(collectively “Security Devices”) such as passwords, user accounts, security
tags etc., unless such Security Devices are necessary to properly operate the
Licensed Material.

5.3 The Customer must store and secure the Licensed Material with due diligence so
that any illegitimate access of third parties is excluded. The Customer must
inform and instruct its employees respectively. The Customer must ensure that
only authorized employees have access to the Licensed Material.

6 Trial License and Academic License


6.1 PTV may provide the Customer with a version of the Licensed Material for testing
purposes (“Trial License”). Any rights to use such Trial License shall end, at the
latest, ninety (90) days after its installation, unless otherwise agreed. Any
commercial use of the Trial License is excluded. In particular, Trial Licenses may
not be used for the following purposes:
 Use of Trial Licenses to bridge project implementation work;

 Operational or semi-operational use in a time-limited test or evaluation project.

6.2 PTV may provide specific users such as students or academic institutions with
specific versions of the Licensed Material for research, teaching or training
purposes (“Academic License”). Any commercial use of the Academic License
is excluded.

6.3 PTV may collect usage data to verify and monitor the compliance with sec. 6.1
and 6.2. Any such collection shall be compliant with the terms of sec. 13.

6.4 Notwithstanding the provision in sec. 5, the Customer may not transfer a Trial
License or an Academic License to a third party.

7 Third-Party Licenses

or obligation whatsoever in relation to the content or use of any such software
under Third-Party Licenses.

8 Geographical restrictions

and shall indemnify and defend PTV against any loss or damage which PTV may
suffer or incur as a result of Customer’s breach of such terms howsoever arising.

subjected to specific geographical restrictions arising out of applicable foreign
laws and regulations, available under http://ptv.to/eo.

9 Warranty, rectification of defects


9.1 Lifetime License

9.1.1 The Customer shall be obliged to immediately and thoroughly inspect the
Licensed Material upon delivery and immediately report defects in writing. A
defect may only be claimed if the Licensed Material deviates from the
contractually agreed quality or if the Licensed Material is not suitable for the
use intended under the contract (“Defect”). Any Defect shall be concretely
described to the extent that is reasonable (“Error Report”). The Error Report
shall include the following information:
 Error message as shown, if any;

 Screenshot of error state;

 PTV Group Feb/22 Page 9/14


End User License Agreement for PTV Software Warranty, rectification of defects

 System environment data (including O/S version, browser used, application


server, database, etc.).

Upon request by PTV, the Customer shall provide additional information for the
error analysis.

9.1.2 Error Reports shall be communicated to PTV promptly. Delayed reporting shall
relieve PTV from any warranty obligations for the respective Defect.

9.1.3 PTV shall rectify Defects at its choice through subsequent improvements or
through delivery of a replacement within a reasonable period of time if and
insofar as the selected form of rectification of the Defect is acceptable to the
Customer. Such rectification may also include the implementation of a
workaround solution.

9.1.4 If PTV does not successfully rectify Defects within a reasonable period of time,
the Customer shall grant two (2) reasonable extensions of at least two (2)
weeks (“Extension”) to PTV in order to successfully rectify the Defects.

9.1.5 If PTV does not successfully rectify Defects during the Extension, the
Customer may at its choice reduce the contractually agreed license fees or
cancel this EULA, except where the Defect is only of insignificant nature.

9.1.6 Claims for damages and reimbursement of expenditure arise solely within the
limits set out in sec.11. The Customer is not entitled to rectify Defects itself and
claim compensation for costs accrued for such rectification.

9.1.7 Claims concerning Defects in quality and Defects in title shall become statute
barred twelve (12) months after (i) delivery of the Licensed Material if the
Licensed Material is provided on a data carrier; or (ii) activation of the access
data to the Licensed Material if the Licensed Material is provided by download
from the Internet; or (iii) acceptance if the Licensed Material is subject to
acceptance which shall not be unreasonably delayed.

9.2 Time-Limited License

9.2.1 The Customer is obliged to inform PTV immediately of any Defect (as defined
under sec. 9.1.1) in the Licensed Material with an exact description of the
Defect in writing, in consideration of the requirements as set out under sec.
9.1.1.

9.2.2 Maintenance and warranty are always and exclusively limited to:
 The upkeep of the contractually agreed usability of the Licensed Material;

 The duration of the Time-Limited License; and

 As furthermore detailed in the Maintenance and Support Terms.

 PTV Group Feb/22 Page 10/14


End User License Agreement for PTV Software Intellectual property rights (“IPR”) infringements

9.2.3 PTV will rectify properly reported Defects in the Licensed Material in a timely
manner.

9.2.4 PTV excludes any liability for initial Defects of the Licensed Material.

9.3 The Customer is aware that applications with maps, geographical attributes,
points of interest, toll information, emissions, speed limits, truck features, long
postcodes and other content as well as traffic data and forecasts never provide a
perfectly accurate and complete picture of the actual circumstances, in particular
because of the time delay between a change in the actual circumstances and its
rendering, and the resulting lack of quality, does not constitute a Defect of the
PTV Software.

10 Intellectual property rights (“IPR”) infringements


10.1 Claims and defense against alleged IPR infringement

10.1.1 If a third party claims the infringement of IPR against the Customer in respect
of the use of the Licensed Material for reasons attributable to PTV, the
Customer shall notify PTV promptly in writing and shall leave the defense of
such claims to PTV insofar as possible.

10.1.2 The Customer shall provide all reasonable assistance to PTV in the defense.

10.1.3 The Customer shall not be entitled to conclude a settlement with claimants, nor
to acknowledge their claims, without PTV’s prior written approval.

10.2 Rectification

10.2.1 Insofar as IPR of third parties have been infringed by the Licensed Material for
reasons attributable to PTV, PTV may choose to rectify the situation in such a
way that the Licensed Material can continue to be used to the full extent by the
Customer. In this respect, PTV has the following options:

a) PTV may obtain a license sufficient for the purposes of this EULA from the
third party that holds the infringed IPR, in favor of the Customer; or

b) PTV may update, modify or replace the Licensed Material that infringes IPR
such that the modifications have no impact on the functionality of the
Licensed Material, or an impact that is acceptable to the Customer.

10.2.2 The Customer may require a different form of rectification if the impact on the
functionality of the Licensed Material is reasonably considered significant.

e) PTV shall be liable for damages resulting from the violation of material
obligations by PTV, its legal representatives or vicarious agents; material

which were decisive for the conclusion of the contract and on the fulfilment
of which the Customer may rely. If PTV has violated these material
obligations through slight negligence, its liability shall be limited to the
amount which was foreseeable for PTV at the time of the respective
performance.
2. PTV shall only be liable for the loss of data up to the amount which would have
been incurred if the data had been properly and regularly backed up for the
purpose of restoring them.
3. Any further liability on the part of PTV is excluded.

12 Audit
PTV shall be entitled to have the Customer’s conformity of the actual use of the PTV
Software delivered examined. The examination may only be carried out by an expert who
is also bound to confidentiality vis-à-vis the Customer, who is not bound by the
Customer’s instructions and who may only disclose information to PTV if and to the extent
that a licensing breach is detected and that such information is necessary for the
enforcement of such licensing breach. In particular, the expert shall not be entitled to
disclose any information at all if the licensing breach has been admitted and
corresponding claims for damages have been satisfied. The Customer must be given at
least two (2) week’s written notice of any such examination.

software or related technologies may be subject to restrictions abroad. The Customer
shall comply with the applicable export and import control regulations of the Federal
Republic of Germany, the European Union and the United States of America, as well as
all other relevant regulations. Fulfilment of the Agreement is subject to national and
international regulations of export and import law or other statutory provisions.

15 Changes to this EULA


PTV shall notify the Customer of any changes to this EULA in writing, by facsimile or
email. Where the Customer does not object to such changes within six (6) weeks from the
date of receipt of the notice, the changes are deemed to have been consented to. In the

Customer objects within the six-week period, the contractual relationship shall be
continued under the previously applicable conditions. If an objection is raised, PTV shall
be entitled to terminate the contractual relationship existing with the Customer with
one (1) months’ notice.
