Terms and conditions of agreement
1. OWNERSHIP. RigER Inc. owns and shall retain all rights, title, and interest in and to RigER, any updates or maintenance releases, and any related media, online or electronic documentation, including all copyrights, patents, trade secret rights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights thereto. RigER is protected by the copyright laws of Canada, international copyright treaties and conventions, and other laws, and all rights are reserved.
2. LICENSE.
- Grant of License to RigER Inc. Licensee exclusively owns all rights in and to information it stores on RigER (“Information”). RigER Inc. needs a limited license from the Licensee to use (i.e., display, perform, and distribute) to make RigER information available to you. By providing information, you grant RigER Inc. a limited, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, fully-paid, royalty-free, sub-licensable, transferable, and worldwide license to use, modify, perform, display, reproduce and distribute the information for the sole purpose of operating RigER and providing related services. RigER Inc. shall also have an unlimited, perpetual, non-exclusive, fully-paid, royalty-free, sub-licensable, transferable, and worldwide license to use, incorporate into RigER, modify, perform, display, reproduce, and distribute any suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations, or other feedback provided by you relating to the operation or features of RigER.
- Use Reporting, License Violations and Remedies. RigER Inc. reserves the right to gather data on your usage of RigER to ensure that our products are being used in accordance with the terms of this agreement. Any unauthorized use shall be considered by RigER Inc. to be a violation of this agreement. RigER Inc. reserves the right to remedy violations immediately upon discovery by any means necessary.
- RigER Inc. hereby grants the licensee, and the Licensee hereby accepts a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, fully revocable license to use RigER solely for internal use and operation upon the terms and conditions contained in this agreement (“License”). You may use and access RigER according to the license level purchased by you from any number of virtual machines or physical computing devices owned, leased, or otherwise controlled by you. For purposes of this agreement, “use” of RigER means accessing RigER over a computer network. RigER may not be used by a greater number of persons, agents, or employees than you have paid a license fee for. You acknowledge that RIGER INC. makes no representation as to the compatibility of RigER with any specific operating environments or computing device.
- Restrictions. The license is granted solely to the Licensee, and not to any parent, subsidiary, or affiliate of the Licensee. All rights not expressly granted hereunder are reserved to RigER Inc. The license does not include (a) maintenance, support, upgrades, or modifications to RigER other than as set forth herein, (b) derivative products developed by RigER Inc. or anyone else to whom RigER Inc. may license RigER, or (c) a license or transfer of any intellectual property rights owned or controlled by RigER Inc. or any RigER Inc. affiliate, subsidiary, or parent. The Licensee shall not modify, adapt, translate, prepare derivative works from, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive source code from, or any internal data files generated by, RigER, rent, lease or loan RigER, or use RigER in any manner that constitutes a breach of this agreement or violates any applicable law or regulation, including without limitation any third party copyright or other intellectual property or proprietary right, except to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this limitation.
- License Automatic Update and Expiration. Your license may include an expiration date that can result in the termination of the license. If your login identification is stolen, or if you suspect any improper or illegal usage of your license outside of your control you should promptly notify RigER Inc. of such occurrence. A replacement login will be issued to you and the suspect login will immediately be terminated. For your license to remain active, your monthly payment for each month must be processed prior to the expiration date in order for the license updates to be performed. For your convenience RigER Inc. provides License expiration warnings in the product interface should there be any issues that would cause the product License to expire. It is your responsibility to contact RigER Inc. regarding any potential expiration that you deem inappropriate. RigER Inc. is not liable for any damages or costs incurred in connection with the expiring Licenses.
- Liability for Third Parties. Should you make available any software, login identifications, or security credentials, or other means of access to RigER to third parties, whether deliberately or through error or omission, you agree that any and all use of RigER by such third parties, regardless of whether such use is specifically authorized or unauthorized by you, shall be legally attributed to you, and you hereby accept liability for any and all such use.
3. LICENSE FEES. RigER will be available to you for use upon your payment of the applicable license fee and your receipt of one or more login identifications. Upon acceptance of this agreement, you may use your license by paying the requisite license fees applicable to your level of use, using the procedure set forth on the RigER website (www.riger.ca). The license fees paid by you are paid in consideration of the license granted under this Agreement. RigER Inc. does not refund license fees. By accepting this Agreement you fully understand that once the license fee payment is made to RigER Inc. you will have no recourse for receiving a refund of any part of the fees.
4. TERM AND TERMINATION. The term of this Agreement commences as of the effective date, or upon your accessing, and using RigER even if you have not expressly accepted this agreement, and shall continue unless and until either party provides written notice to the other terminating this agreement, or if the Licensee makes an assignment or other transfer of this agreement or the license, by operation of law or otherwise. Upon the termination of this Agreement, all license rights granted hereunder shall terminate in full and without notice, and the Licensee shall immediately cease use of RigER. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision that by its nature or context is intended to survive any termination or expiration of this agreement, including but not limited to indemnification, shall so survive.
5. OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE. RigER may contain open source software components, each of which has its own copyright notice requirements and own applicable license conditions. These components are subject to the terms of third party open source licenses, and not the terms of this agreement. If any such license requires RigER Inc. to deliver the source code for such component to the Licensee, RigER Inc. shall do so upon request at a nominal fee.
6. CONFIDENTIALITY. The Licensee will not disclose RigER, or the terms and conditions or existence of this agreement to any third party without RigER Inc. express prior written consent.
7. INDEMNIFICATION BY LICENSEE. The Licensee shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless RigER Inc. (and its officers, directors, employees, and agents) from and against any and all claims, suits, liability, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which result from claims that any modifications the Licensee makes to RigER or any combination of RigER with software or other items not approved by RigER Inc. infringes or violation of any third party intellectual property right. In case any action or proceeding is brought against RigER Inc. by reason of any such claim, demand, action, damage, loss, liability, cost, or expense, the Licensee’s duty to defend shall begin upon receipt of written notice identifying the allegations that give rise to this duty to defend and shall be coextensive with the Licensee’s indemnification obligation.
8. NO WARRANTIES. RigER Inc. LICENSES RigER TO LICENSEE ON AN “AS IS” BASIS WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR ARISING BY STATUTE, CUSTOM, COURSE OF DEALING, OR TRADE USAGE.

DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, WITH REGARD TO RigER. THE LICENSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE OPERATION OF RigER MAY NOT BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, AND THAT ERRORS MAY NOT BE CORRECTED. RigER Inc. IS NOT RESPONSIBLE IN ANY WAY FOR ANY INTERFERENCE, ERRORS, OR PREVENTION OF THE LICENSEE’S ACCESS TO OR USE OF RigER. RigER Inc. IS NOT YOUR ACCOUNTANT AND USE OF RigER DOES NOT CONSTITUTE THE RECEIPT OF ACCOUNTING ADVICE. IF YOU HAVE ANY ACCOUNTING QUESTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT AN ACCOUNTANT. IT IS YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY TO DETERMINE THAT RigER MEETS THE NEEDS OF YOUR BUSINESS AND IS SUITABLE FOR THE PURPOSES FOR WHICH IT IS USED. YOU REMAIN SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLYING WITH ALL APPLICABLE ACCOUNTING, TAX, AND OTHER LAWS. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CHECK THAT THE STORAGE OF AND ACCESS TO YOUR DATA VIA RigER AND THE WEBSITE WILL COMPLY WITH THE LAWS APPLICABLE TO YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS (INCLUDING ANY LAWS REQUIRING YOU TO RETAIN RECORDS).

SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO THE LICENSEE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ON ANY CLAIM (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ACCESS TO OR USE OF RigER; AND (B) IN NO EVENT SHALL RigER Inc. BE LIABLE TO THE LICENSEE FOR ANY CLAIM (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS AND/OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOST DATA, OR COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, HOWEVER CAUSED, WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR NOT, ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF RigER Inc. HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. RigER Inc.’S LIABILITY FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY THE LICENSEE AS A RESULT OF RigER Inc.’S NEGLIGENCE OR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE TERMS OF USE SHALL BE LIMITED IN RESPECT OF ANY ONE INCIDENT, OR SERIES OF CONNECTED INCIDENTS, TO THE FEES PAID BY THE LICENSEE IN THE PREVIOUS TWELVE (12) MONTHS.
