If the audit uncovers an excess of usage limits of the Licensed Software, Customer shall, at Coupa’s option: (a) stop using the Licensed Software in excess of the restrictions established under the Agreement; or (b) pay the fees corresponding to the excess, unauthorized use.
  4. ORDERING
    1. Billing and Payment of Fees. Coupa shall issue invoices and Customer shall pay License fees annually in advance as further specified (including amount, currency, and payment terms) in the Order Form. All payment obligations are non-cancellable, and all amounts paid are non-refundable except as otherwise specified in this Agreement. Customer may dispute in good faith an invoice in writing within no more than 60 days of the date of the invoice containing the amount in question to be eligible to receive an adjustment or credit. If an undisputed invoice is more than 30 days overdue, Coupa may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, provide 60 days’ notice to suspend Customer’s License until such undisputed invoice is paid in full and/or immediately accelerate all payments due or in the future to be due under the applicable Order Form(s) so that all such fee obligations become immediately due and payable, Customer’s failure to comply with the same being considered a material breach of this Agreement.
    2. Taxes. Coupa’s fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, including for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction whatsoever (collectively, “Taxes”) and Customer shall be responsible for payment of all Taxes associated with this Agreement and all Order Forms, except that Coupa is solely responsible for taxes assessable against Coupa based on Coupa’s net income, property, and employees. If Customer is legally entitled to an exemption from any sales, use, or similar transaction tax, upon signing an Order Form, Customer shall provide to Coupa with a legally sufficient tax exemption certificate for each taxing jurisdiction, and Coupa shall not charge Customer any taxes from which it is exempt. If any deduction or withholding is required by law, Customer shall notify Coupa and shall pay Coupa any additional amounts necessary to ensure that the net amount that Coupa receives, after any deduction and withholding, equals the amount Coupa would have received if no deduction or withholding had been required. Upon request, Customer shall provide documentation showing that the withheld and deducted amounts have been paid to the relevant taxing authority.
  5. PROPRIETARY AND OTHER RIGHTS
    1. Coupa’s Intellectual Property Rights. As between Coupa and Customer, all right, title, and interest in and to the Licensed Software, Documentation, and all other Coupa proprietary information, systems, or platforms (including all rights therein, and all derivatives, translations, modifications, and enhancements thereof) are, and shall remain, owned exclusively by Coupa notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, Order Form, or statement of work hereunder. This Agreement is not a sale of the Licensed Software and does not convey to Customer any rights of ownership in or related to the Licensed Software, Documentation or other Coupa proprietary information, systems, or platforms. The Coupa name, logo and product names are trademarks of Coupa, and no right or license is granted to use them. All rights not expressly granted to Customer are reserved by Coupa. Coupa alone shall own all rights, title, and interest in and to any suggestions, enhancement requests, feedback, or recommendations provided by Customer or any third party relating thereto.
  6. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
    1. Obligations. Except with the disclosing party’s prior written permission, the receiving party shall not disclose or use any Confidential Information of the disclosing party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement to anyone other than to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, representatives, and advisors (collectively “Representatives”) who have a need-to-know such Confidential Information and are bound by obligations of confidentiality at least as stringent as those herein, and provided the receiving party shall remain liable to the disclosing party for any breach of the confidentiality and non-use obligations by any such Representatives. Each party agrees to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of the other party in the same manner that it protects the confidentiality of its own proprietary and confidential information of like kind (but in no event using less than reasonable care). If the receiving party is compelled by law to disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing party, it shall provide the disclosing party with prior written notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at disclosing party's cost, if the disclosing party wishes to contest the disclosure, and any information so disclosed shall continue to be treated as Confidential Information for all other purposes.
    2. Remedies. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, if the receiving party discloses or uses (or threatens to disclose or use) any Confidential Information of the disclosing party in breach of confidentiality protections hereunder, the disclosing party shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies available to it, to seek injunctive relief to enjoin such acts, it being specifically acknowledged by the parties that any other available remedies may be inadequate.
  7. WARRANTIES
    1. Coupa’s Obligations. Coupa warrants, during the License Term, that: (i) Customer’s Licensed Software shall materially conform to the Documentation; and (ii) the functionality of the Licensed Software at the time of the Order Form shall not materially decrease during the License Term.
    2. Procedure. To submit a warranty claim under this Section, Customer shall provide written notice to Coupa specifying the non-conformity. If the non-conformity persists without relief more than 30 days after written notice of a warranty claim provided to Coupa under this Section, then Customer may terminate the affected Licensed Software and Coupa, as its sole liability in connection with a breach of this warranty, shall refund to Customer any prepaid License fees covering the remainder of the License Term of the affected License(s) after the effective date of termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this warranty shall not apply to any non-conformity due to any modification of or defect in the Licensed Software that is made or caused by someone other than Coupa (or someone acting at Coupa’s direction).
    3. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, COUPA DOES NOT MAKE ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTY, AS TO THE RELIABILITY, TIMELINESS, QUALITY, SUITABILITY, AVAILABILITY, ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE LICENSED SOFTWARE, UPDATES, DOCUMENTATION, SUPPORT AND/OR ANY OTHER COUPA SERVICES PROVIDED OR OFFERED HEREUNDER. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, THE LICENSED SOFTWARE PROVIDED HEREUNDER IS PROVIDED STRICTLY ON AN “AS IS” BASIS AND ALL CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM USAGE OF TRADE, COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
  8. INDEMNIFICATION
    1. Coupa’s Obligations. Subject to Section 8.3, Coupa shall: (a) defend Customer, its officers, directors, and employees against any third party suit, claim, or demand (each a “Claim”) that alleges the Licensed Software used in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable Order Form infringes any issued patent, copyright, trademark or misappropriates any trade secret of, such third party; and (b) pay any court-ordered award of damages or settlement amount which may include any expense, liability, loss, damage, costs or reasonable attorney’s' fees, each to the extent payable to a third party, to the extent arising from such Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Coupa reasonably believes that Customer’s use of any portion of the Licensed Software is likely to be enjoined by reason of any Claims then Coupa may, at its expense and in its sole discretion: (i) procure for Customer the right to continue using the Licensed Software; (ii) replace the same with other products having substantially equivalent functions that are not subject to any Claims of infringement; or (iii) modify the applicable Licensed Software so that there is no longer any infringement, provided that such modification does not materially and adversely affect the functional capabilities of the Licensed Software as set out herein or in the applicable Order Form. If (i), (ii), and (iii) above are not available on commercially reasonable terms in Coupa’s judgment, Coupa may terminate the affected Licensed Software and refund to Customer the fees paid by Customer covering the remaining portion of the applicable License Term for the affected Licensed Software after the date of termination. The foregoing indemnification obligation of Coupa shall not apply: (1) if the Licensed Software is modified by any party other than Coupa (or someone acting at Coupa’s direction), but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is related to such modification; (2) if the Licensed Software is combined with other non-Coupa products, applications, or processes not authorized in writing by Coupa, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is related to such combination; (3) to the extent the Claim arises in connection with any unauthorized use of the Licensed Software, or use that is not in compliance with any applicable laws, regulations, and/or Documentation; or (4) to any third-party products, processes or materials (except for such third-party items provided by Coupa within the Licensed Software). THIS SECTION SETS FORTH COUPA’S SOLE LIABILITY AND CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT.
    2. Customer’s Obligations. Subject to Section 8.3, Customer shall: (a) defend Coupa, its officers, directors, and employees against any Claim that arises from Customer’s use of the Licensed Software as that Claim relates to a dispute between Customer and a third party; and (b) pay any court-ordered award of damages or settlement amount which may include any expense, liability, loss, damage, costs, or reasonable attorney’s' fees, each to the extent payable to a third party, to the extent arising from such Claims. Customer’s indemnification obligation shall not apply to the extent the Claim arises out of an act or omission of Coupa that constitutes a material breach of this Agreement.
    3. Process. Each party’s indemnity obligations are subject to the following: (i) the indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifier in writing of any Claims (provided, however, that the failure to give prompt written notice shall not limit the rights to indemnification except to the extent that the indemnifier is materially prejudiced by such failure); (ii) the indemnifier shall have sole control of the defense and all related settlement negotiations with respect to any Claims (provided that the indemnifier may not settle any Claims that require the indemnified party to admit any civil or criminal liability or incur any financial obligation without the indemnified party’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and (iii) the indemnified party shall cooperate fully to the extent necessary at the indemnifier’s cost in such defense and settlement.
  9. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY’S TOTAL AND AGGREGATED LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE LICENSED SOFTWARE PROVIDED HEREUNDER WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, SHALL EXCEED THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY PAID BY AND/OR DUE FROM CUSTOMER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THE EXISTENCE OF MORE THAN ONE CLAIM SHALL NOT ENLARGE THIS LIMIT. THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT LIMIT CUSTOMER’S OBLIGATION TO PAY FEES LEGALLY OWED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Order Form, the Order Form shall govern. No text or information set forth on any other purchase order, preprinted form or document shall add to or vary the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Modifications and amendments to this Agreement shall be enforceable only if they are in writing and are signed by authorized representatives of both parties. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then such provision(s) shall be construed, as nearly as possible, to reflect the intentions of the invalid or unenforceable provision(s), with all other provisions remaining in full force and effect. Customer agrees that Customer’s purchase of any License is neither contingent upon the delivery of any future functionality or features nor dependent upon any oral or written comments made by Coupa with respect to future functionality or features. The parties are independent contractors, and no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between Customer and Coupa as a result of the Agreement or use of the Licensed Software. There are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement. The failure of a party to enforce any right or provision in this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

    (c) Subcontractors. Upon request, Coupa shall disclose its use of any subcontractors to perform Professional Services under an SOW (“Subcontractor”). Coupa shall not be relieved of its obligations under this Supplement by use of any such Subcontractors. If Customer believes the performance or conduct of any Subcontractor is unsatisfactory, in its reasonable discretion, Customer may notify Coupa, including the reasons therefor, and Coupa shall promptly take necessary actions to remedy the performance or conduct of such Subcontractor.
  3. Customer Responsibilities. Customer shall assign a project manager (the “Customer Project Manager”) and such other personnel as it deems appropriate or as stated in the SOW. Customer may, without the need for approval of Coupa, replace any Customer personnel working in connection with any SOW.
  4. Change Orders. Customer may request, during the term of the SOW, that Coupa perform additional services for Customer. Within a reasonable period after receiving such a request from Customer, Coupa shall prepare and submit a written proposal in the form of a change order (“Change Order”) to Customer that: (i) if applicable, assesses the expected impact of such request on any Professional Services being provided under such SOW; (ii) describes how Coupa would fulfill such request; and (iii) sets forth pricing, plans and time schedules anticipated by Coupa in connection with fulfilling such Change Order, as well as other information Coupa considers appropriate for inclusion.

  6. Project Management. The Customer Project Manager shall provide overall management direction for the applicable SOW. The Customer Project Manager and Coupa Project Manager shall consult with each other as needed with regard to project management and technical and design decision making affecting the applicable SOW. The Customer Project Manager shall maintain an overall schedule of status and due dates and shall provide such regular and ad hoc status reporting as required by the SOW.
  7. Ownership of Work Product. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Coupa owns and shall retain ownership of all Work Product created, developed or reduced to practice by Coupa in connection with the Professional Services. However, subject to the Agreement, Coupa grants Customer a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license, during the applicable Subscription Term for the related Hosted Application only, to use any Work Product solely in support of and only in connection with the related Hosted Application. "Work Product" means any deliverables (and all related intellectual property rights) including without limitation Coupa’s findings, analyses, conclusions, opinions, recommendations, ideas, techniques, know-how, designs, presentations, and other technical information. Nothing in this Section transfers to Customer any intellectual property rights in or to any of Coupa’s pre-existing software or other technology (“Coupa’s Pre-Existing Works”) and all such rights are hereby retained by Coupa. Coupa shall own any derivatives, enhancements or modification to Coupa’s Pre-Existing Works that are created by Coupa as part of the Professional Services or otherwise.
  8. Warranties.
    (a) Coupa Warranties. Coupa warrants that the Professional Services (i) shall be performed in a competent and workmanlike manner in accordance with accepted industry standards and practices and (ii) shall conform in all material respects with the applicable specifications set forth in the SOW. Customer must notify Coupa in writing of any breach of the foregoing warranty within thirty (30) days after performance of the non-conforming Professional Services. Upon receipt of such notice, Coupa, at its option and Customer’s sole remedy, shall either use commercially reasonable efforts to re-perform the Professional Services in conformance with these warranty requirements or shall terminate the affected Professional Services and refund to Customer any amounts paid for the non-conforming Professional Services.
    (b) Disclaimer of Warranties. THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH HEREIN, TOGETHER WITH ANY EXPRESS WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN ANY SOW HEREUNDER, CONSTITUTES AND EXPRESSES THE ENTIRE STATEMENT OF THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO WARRANTIES. COUPA DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THIS SUPPLEMENT OR THE APPLICABLE SOW(S), INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
  9. Term and Termination
    (a) Term. The term of any SOW (“Term”) shall be as specified in the applicable SOW, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the Agreement or the SOW.
    (b) Termination for Cause. Each party may terminate any one or more SOWs hereunder by written notice to the other party, upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (1) upon written notice if the other party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any proceeding related to its insolvency, receivership or liquidation or an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (2) the other party materially breaches any material term or obligation (including payment hereunder), representation or warranty of this Supplement and such breach or default is not cured within a thirty (30) day period.
    (c) Survival. The obligations and rights of the parties pursuant Sections 5 (Price and Payments), 7 (Ownership of Work Product), and 8(b) (Disclaimer of Warranties) hereof shall survive any expiration or termination of this Supplement. Termination of any SOW shall not affect the parties’ obligations under any non-terminated SOW then in effect and as to such then existing SOWs, the Supplement shall be deemed to continue in full force and effect until Professional Services under such SOW are completed.
  10. Coupa Compliance.
