RECIPIENT will pay the PROVIDER the fee(s) set forth on Supplement A to this Maintenance Agreement within forty-five (45) days of the Commencement Date identified in Supplement A. The PROVIDER shall have the right to change the fee once each year, effective with the next renewal date, provided that: (i) the PROVIDER gives RECIPIENT at least ninety (90) days prior written notice of any such change; and (ii) so long as the change is not an increase of more than ten percent (10%) of the then-current fee.

Upon RECIPIENT’s prior written approval, RECIPIENT shall reimburse the PROVIDER
for any and all reasonable travel and living expenses incurred by the PROVIDER
in performing services under this Maintenance Agreement. These expenses shall
be billed to RECIPIENT, and RECIPIENT shall pay these billings within
forty-five (45) days of the date such services were rendered.
Upon termination of

costs and non-cancelable commitments incurred in the performance of the scope
of work and for which the RECIPIENT has not yet paid.
(a) Term. This Maintenance Agreement shall commence on the Commencement Date stated in Supplement A and continue for an initial period defined in Supplement A (“Initial Term”). This Maintenance Agreement shall thereafter renew for successive periods defined in Supplement A (“Renewal Term”), of which PROVIDER will notify RECIPIENT in writing at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration date, unless terminated by either party upon written notice to the other party pursuant to Section 3(b) below. All terms and conditions of this Maintenance Agreement shall apply during the Renewal Term, except for the fees. The fee for the Renewal Term shall be the PROVIDER’s rates then in effect, so long as such rate does not increase by more than ten percent (10%) annually.
(b) Termination. This Maintenance Agreement shall terminate (i)
immediately upon termination or expiration of RECIPIENT’s right to use the
SOFTWARE; (ii) upon expiration of the then-current term, provided that at least
thirty (30) days advance written notice of termination is given to PROVIDER by
the RECIPIENT; (iii) upon expiration of the then-current term, provided that at
least sixty (60) days advance written notice of termination is given to
RECIPIENT by the PROVIDER; or (iv) upon thirty (30) days advance written notice
if the other party has breached this Maintenance Agreement and has not cured
such breach within such notice period.
4. Warranty and Remedies
The PROVIDER warrants that it will use reasonable efforts to perform the services to conform to generally accepted industry standards, provided that: (a) the SOFTWARE has not been modified, changed, or altered by anyone other than the PROVIDER; (b) the operating environment, including both hardware and systems software, meets the PROVIDER’s recommended specifications; (c) the computer hardware is in good operational order and is installed in a suitable operating environment; (d) RECIPIENT promptly notifies the PROVIDER of its need for service; (e) RECIPIENT provides adequate troubleshooting information and access so that the PROVIDER can identify and address problems; and (f) all fees due to the PROVIDER have been paid. THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THIS MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT, AND THE SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED BY THE PROVIDER UNDER IT INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. RECIPIENT’s sole and exclusive remedy and the PROVIDER’s only obligation under this warranty is to redo the Services until the SOFTWARE conforms to the most recent specifications stated in the documents listed in Supplement A. In the event that these services cannot be provided within a reasonable time after notification, RECIPIENT’s sole and exclusive remedy is to terminate this Maintenance Agreement upon written notice to the PROVIDER and to receive a refund of any fees paid for the period beginning on the date the problem requiring correction was reported to the PROVIDER. RECIPIENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE UNIVERSITY, ITS FACULTY, STAFF, STUDENTS, OR REGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, COST, EXPENSE, OR DAMAGE TO RECIPIENT IN AN AMOUNT THAT COLLECTIVELY EXCEEDS THE ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE. END USER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE PROVIDER, ITS FACULTY, STAFF, STUDENTS, OR REGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO END USER FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR SIMILAR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY LOST PROFITS OR LOST DATA ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE EVEN IF THE UNIVERSITY, ITS FACULTY, STAFF, STUDENTS, OR REGENTS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
RECIPIENT WILL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD HARMLESS PROVIDER, ITS FACULTY, STAFF, STUDENTS, OR REGENTS AGAINST ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, EXPENSE, OR COST, INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES, ARISING OUT OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, PROCEEDING OR LAWSUIT RELATED TO RECIPIENT’s UNAUTHORIZED USE OR MISUSE OF THE SOFTWARE.
The PROVIDER agrees to hold harmless the RECIPIENT, its officers, agents, and employees from any and all liability, including claims, demands, losses, costs, damages, and expenses of every kind and description (including death), or damages to persons or property arising out of or in connection with or occurring during the course of this Maintenance Agreement where such liability is founded upon or grows out of the acts or omissions of the officers, employees, or agents of the PROVIDER of Wisconsin System while acting within the scope of their employment where protection is afforded by ss. 893.92 and ss. 895.46(1) Wisconsin Statutes.
5. Recipient Support

6. Recipient Responsibility
The RECIPIENT shall not distribute the SOFTWARE to any third party. The
RECIPIENT shall not make any modifications to the SOFTWARE, unless otherwise
allowed under the License Agreement. If RECIPIENT is allowed to make
modifications under such License Agreement, the PROVIDER shall not be
responsible for maintaining RECIPIENT modified portions of the SOFTWARE or for
maintaining portions of the SOFTWARE affected by RECIPIENT modified portions of
the SOFTWARE. Upon RECIPIENT’s prior written approval, corrections for
difficulties or defects traceable to the RECIPIENT’s errors or systems changes
shall be billed at the PROVIDER’s standard time and material charges.
7. Right to Work Product

new releases, and any other work product created by the PROVIDER creator(s) in
connection with the support services provided under this Maintenance Agreement
(“Work Product”) are and shall remain the exclusive property of the PROVIDER or
the PROVIDER creator(s), regardless of whether the RECIPIENT, its employees, or
agents may have contributed to the conception, joined in its development, or
paid the PROVIDER for the development or use of the Work Product. Such Work
Product shall be considered SOFTWARE, and subject to the terms and conditions
contained herein and in the License Agreement.
