The duration of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall be specified in writing at the time of subscription and begins on the date of activation. The Agreement automatically renews for successive Terms of equal duration unless either party notifies the other in writing at least 30 days before the current Term expires.

2. Definitions

User

Any user account indicated as active in the Software, with access to creation and/or modification features. Deactivated user accounts and accounts used by external persons or systems that only have limited access to the Software through portal functionality (“portal Users”) are not counted as Users.

Module / App

A Module or App is a functional group of features available for installation and use within the Cloud ERP Software.

Custom Module

A Custom Module is a directory of source code files or a set of customizations developed within a Cloud ERP database that adds features to, or modifies the standard behavior of, the Software. Custom Modules may be developed by the Customer, Cloud ERP, a Cloud ERP Partner, or third parties.

Covered Custom Module

A Covered Custom Module is a Custom Module for which the Customer has subscribed to a maintenance plan in order to receive support, upgrade, and bug-fixing services.

Bug

A Bug is any failure of the Software or of a Covered Custom Module that results in a complete stop of execution, a traceable error, or a security breach, and is not directly caused by defective installation, configuration, or misuse. Functional deviations or non-compliance with documented specifications may be considered Bugs at the discretion of Cloud ERP.

Subscription Plan

A Subscription Plan defines the set of Modules, Apps, features, hosting services, and usage parameters covered under this Agreement, as agreed in writing at the time of subscription.

Odoo Enterprise License

For any use of the Odoo Enterprise Edition in connection with the Cloud ERP services, the Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Customer is solely responsible for purchasing, maintaining, and complying with the applicable Odoo Enterprise Edition license directly from Odoo S.A.

Cloud ERP does not provide, resell, sublicense, or include the Odoo Enterprise Edition license as part of this Agreement unless expressly stated in writing.

3. Access to the Software

The Customer may access and use the Software through the Cloud ERP Platform, or may elect a Self-Hosting option, where available. The Cloud Platform is hosted and fully managed by O2B Technologies and accessed remotely by the Customer. Under the Self-Hosting option, the Customer hosts the Software on computing systems of its choice that are not under the control of Cloud ERP.

For the duration of this Agreement, O2B Technologies grants the Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Cloud ERP software (including the right to execute, modify, and execute after modification), strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable license terms provided by O2B Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

The Customer agrees to take all necessary measures to ensure the unmodified and uninterrupted execution of any components of the Software used to verify subscription compliance, including but not limited to validation related to the running instance, number of Users, installed Modules or Apps, and the scope of Covered Custom Modules.

O2B Technologies undertakes not to disclose any individual or customer-identifiable usage data to third parties without the Customer’s consent and to process all collected data in accordance with its applicable Privacy Policy.

Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, the license granted herein shall immediately terminate, and the Customer shall promptly cease all use of the Software and, where applicable, the Cloud Platform.

In the event the Customer breaches the terms of this Section, the Customer agrees that O2B Technologies may charge an additional fee equal to three hundred percent (300%) of the applicable list price calculated on the actual number of Users or usage metrics found to be non-compliant.
