PAYMENT & DELIVERY TERMS. Excluding evaluation licenses, Customer agrees to pay the license fees for the licensed products as specified on the P.O./Evaluation Agreement and subsequent invoice. The license fees do not include taxes, shipping, or handling charges, all of which shall be paid by Customer, except for taxes based on Ariva Group's net income.

Ariva Group may, at its option, make delivery in installments and invoice and receive payments for each installment. Customer may purchase annual maintenance for the Software in accordance with the P.O. as it may be updated from time to time. If Customer elects not to purchase or fails to pay an invoice for maintenance when due, Ariva Group will have no further obligation to update or maintain either the Software or the license keys providing access thereto. Non-fulfillment of payments will be considered breach.

CONFIDENTIALITY. Customer shall keep the Software, Documentation and related information disclosed by Ariva Group on a confidential or proprietary basis (collectively "Confidential Information") confidential and shall not, without the prior written consent of Ariva Group, directly or indirectly provide, disclose or otherwise make available any item of Confidential Information in any form to any person other than to those of Customer's employees/license sites whose job performance requires access to the Confidential Information and are obligated to the confidentiality and restricted use provisions herein. Customer agrees to use the Confidential Information only as expressly authorized. Customer and customer license sites shall take all reasonable actions to protect the security of the Confidential Information and control its employees' use, copying and disclosure. Customer will immediately inform Ariva Group of any violation and use Customer's best efforts to remedy any such breach.

Ariva Group's total liability will not exceed the actual amount paid to Ariva Group by Customer for the failing Software.

The foregoing is Licensee's sole and exclusive remedy for any claim of infringement of intellectual property rights against Licensee's use of the Licensed Products.

ANTI-PIRACY.

By installing or using the Software, Customer agrees to such detection, collection and transmission, as well as to the use of such data, for the purposes of identifying illegal usage and protecting and enforcing intellectual property rights.

All amounts owing to Ariva Group accelerate and become immediately due and payable in full. Within then (10) days of termination, Customer shall completely remove all portions of the Software from any updated work and permanently remove and delete any and all complete or partial copies of the Software from all systems under Customer's control.
