This Developer License Agreement (“Developer License” or “Agreement”) is entered into by OpenFin Inc. (“OpenFin” or “we”) and you.

By downloading OpenFin OS or using OpenFin Technology, you agree to be bound by these terms. You need a Developer License to download, use, test, or build with any OpenFin Technology. You will need a Community or Enterprise License if you operate an application in a Production Environment that uses the OpenFin Technology. If you sign up for a Community or Enterprise License with OpenFin, then those terms supersede this Developer License.

OpenFin may update these terms from time to time without notice to you. By continuing to use OpenFin Technology, you agree to be bound by any changes in these terms.

The sections below titled “Binding Arbitration” and “Class Action Waiver” affect your legal rights under this Agreement. Please read those carefully.

You shall remain liable for any breach of this Agreement by your Representatives.

5. Protecting Intellectual Property.

(a) Subject to OpenFin’s rights to the OpenFin Technology, you own all right, title, and interest in and to the Applications. Applications do not include any OpenFin Technology. You are solely responsible for the Applications you provide to End Users. OpenFin has no responsibility or liability to End Users in connection with the Applications.

(b) OpenFin (or its licensors) retains all rights, title, and interest in the OpenFin Technology. If any of those rights vest with you, you irrevocably assign all rights, title, and interest to OpenFin.

(c) Each of you and OpenFin agree to take all further actions, and execute all filings or assignments, as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the provisions set forth in this section.

6. Costs; Updates. OpenFin is not responsible for any costs, expenses, or other liabilities that you may incur in connection with your use of the OpenFin Technology, development testing of your Application, or otherwise. OpenFin may update OpenFin Technology from time to time, with or without notice to you.

7. Termination. At OpenFin’s sole discretion, OpenFin may terminate your Developer License and cease provision of the OpenFin Technology with or without notice, effective immediately, for any reason or no reason at all. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement all rights and licenses granted under this Agreement will immediately terminate.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Liability.
THE OPENFIN TECHNOLOGY IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE OPENFIN TECHNOLOGY, AND ANY OTHER ACTIONS TAKEN BY YOU IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE AND RECEIPT OF THE OPENFIN TECHNOLOGY ARE DONE ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, OPENFIN SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES RELATING TO THE OPENFIN TECHNOLOGY, YOUR USE THEREOF, OR OTHERWISE ARISING UNDER THIS DEVELOPER LICENSE, EVEN IF OPENFIN HAS BEEN ADVISED OF, OR MIGHT HAVE ANTICIPATED THE POSSIBILITY OF, SUCH DAMAGES OR LOSSES.

9. Indemnification. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless OpenFin, its affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents, from and against any and all third-party claims, actions, suits, or proceedings, as well as any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or accruing from (a) your breach of this Developer License; (b) your use or misuse of the OpenFin Technology; (c) your negligence or willful misconduct; and/or (d) any of your Applications.

10. Binding Arbitration. In the event of a dispute arising under or relating to the OpenFin Technology, your use thereof, or otherwise arising under this Agreement (each, a “Dispute”), either party may elect to finally and exclusively resolve the Dispute by binding arbitration governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). Any election to arbitrate, at any time, shall be final and binding on the other party. IF EITHER PARTY CHOOSES ARBITRATION, NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIM IN COURT OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL, EXCEPT EITHER PARTY MAY BRING ITS CLAIM IN ITS LOCAL SMALL CLAIMS COURT, IF PERMITTED BY THAT SMALL CLAIMS COURT RULES AND IF WITHIN SUCH COURT’S JURISDICTION. ARBITRATION IS DIFFERENT FROM COURT, AND DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS MAY ALSO BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION. All Disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator selected jointly by the parties, whose decision will be final, except for a limited right of appeal under the FAA. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted by JAMS pursuant to its then current Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those rules, or, where appropriate, pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. All applicable JAMS’ rules and procedures are available at the JAMS website www.jamsadr.com. Each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules. Judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. If conducted in person, the arbitration shall take place in the United States county where you reside. The parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, to stay a proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The parties shall cooperate in good faith in the voluntary and informal exchange of all non-privileged documents and other information (including electronically stored information) relevant to the Dispute immediately after commencement of the arbitration. As set forth in Section 13 below, nothing in this Agreement will prevent OpenFin from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to protect its proprietary interests.

11. Class Action Waiver. You agree that any arbitration or proceeding shall be limited to the Dispute between OpenFin and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (i) no arbitration or proceeding shall be joined with any other; (ii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated or resolved on a class action-basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (iii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons. YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST OPENFIN ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

12. General.

(a) If you are agreeing to be bound by this Agreement on behalf of your employer or other entity, you represent and warrant that you have full legal authority to bind your employer or such entity to this Agreement. If you do not have the requisite authority, you may not accept this Agreement on behalf of your employer or other entity.

(b) This Developer License shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law principles. For all purposes of this Developer License, the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York.

(c) Nothing in this Agreement, or in the nature of your access and use of the OpenFin Technology, shall create or is intended to create a joint-venture, partnership, or agency relationship between you and OpenFin.

(d) You may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any of your rights or obligations hereunder, absent the prior written consent of OpenFin.

(e) You agree that if OpenFin does not exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy contained in this Agreement, this will not be taken to be a formal waiver of OpenFin’s rights and that those rights or remedies will still be available to OpenFin.

(f) This Agreement constitutes the complete understanding between you and OpenFin with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes all prior written or oral communications, understandings, and agreements.

(g) If any provision of this Agreement is deemed to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, then that provision shall be removed and the remaining terms will continue to be valid and enforceable.
