MARKETING AND SALES

3.1        Appointment.    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, NetSuite KK hereby appoints Transcosmos as a non-exclusive distributor and reseller of the Product with the right to market and Sell the Product in the Territory, directly or through Authorized Resellers, to Customers.

3.2        Customers.    Transcosmos and its Authorized Resellers may market and Sell the Product only to Customers in the Territory for which all of the following are satisfied:

3.2.1    the Customer purchases the Product for its own internal use at its facilities located in the Territory and not for further distribution;

3.2.2    no less than eighty percent (80%) of the individuals using the Product purchased by the Customer are employees of the Customer located at the Customer's facilities in the Territory;

3.2.3    if the Product is accessed from a location outside the Territory, such Product is nonetheless that which has been localized by NetSuite for the Territory, as designated by NetSuite; and

3.2.4    the Customer is not, prior to the time of Sale by Transcosmos or the Authorized Reseller, a user of any NetSuite or NetSuite KK products or services pursuant to a contract with NetSuite, NetSuite KK or any third party. NetSuite KK will inform Transcosmos whether or not a particular Customer is a pre-existing customer of NetSuite, NetSuite KK or any other Product reseller after Transcosmos' request.

3.3        Authorized Resellers.

3.3.1    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Transcosmos may appoint Authorized Resellers to market and Sell the Product under this Agreement; provided that (i) the third party meets NetSuite's and NetSuite KK's then current requirements and policies to qualify as an Authorized Reseller; and (ii) Transcosmos has entered into a written agreement with each such third party that is at least as protective of NetSuite KK (and its service providers, including NetSuite) and the Product as the terms of this Agreement, including any disclaimers and limitations of warranties and liability, rights of NetSuite and NetSuite KK to enforce Product Use Terms, and limitations on scope of marketing and sales activities with respect to the Product. Transcosmos shall be responsible for the actions of all Authorized Resellers, and such conduct shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement, as if performed by Transcosmos. For clarity, in any circumstance where Transcosmos Sells Product through an Authorized Reseller, both Transcosmos and the Authorized Reseller shall be responsible for performing the obligations of Transcosmos

 

-4-


under this Agreement related to such Sales (including support obligations), and Transcosmos shall be responsible under this Agreement for any failure of the Authorized Reseller to do so.

3.3.2    Transcosmos shall select third parties as Authorized Resellers that are best able to market and Sell the Product in all potential markets for such Product, including software companies, wholesale and distribution companies, service companies, advertising companies, agricultural businesses, manufacturers, non-profit organizations, and retailers, sufficient to maximize the sales potential for the Product in the Territory with respect to each such market segment. At any time NetSuite and NetSuite KK may consult with Transcosmos regarding the suitability of any Authorized Reseller in light of NetSuite's and NetSuite KK's requirements and policies at the then current time to qualify as an Authorized Reseller. Transcosmos will consider in good faith any proposal by NetSuite or NetSuite KK to terminate any such Authorized Reseller, subject to existing contractual obligations between Transcosmos and Authorized Reseller and applicable law. Without limiting any of NetSuite KK's other remedies, however, in the event of any breach of this Agreement as a result of actions or inactions of an Authorized Reseller (such as sales to Customers outside the scope of Section 3.2), Transcosmos shall notify NetSuite KK immediately of the breach, and if requested by NetSuite or NetSuite KK, Transcosmos shall terminate the Authorized Reseller unless the breach is cured within thirty (30) days after the Authorized Reseller is notified of the breach.

3.4        Multinational Customers.    Transcosmos shall use reasonable commercial efforts to notify NetSuite KK and NetSuite in writing if Transcosmos is marketing or soliciting a Sale to any Customer that has offices or affiliates outside the Territory, providing to NetSuite and NetSuite KK in such notice the Customer name, contact information, and address in the Territory. NetSuite KK and/or Transcosmos shall discuss the matter with NetSuite in an effort to assess any sales opportunities for the Customer locations and/or affiliates outside the Territory. Similarly, if Transcosmos believes that their are opportunities for use of the localized Product by a particular Customer at locations outside the Territory, to a greater extent than is allowed under Section 3.2, Transcosmos has the right to notify NetSuite and NetSuite KK of such sales opportunities, and NetSuite and/or NetSuite KK will discuss such opportunities with Transcosmos in good faith in order to assess how to best handle the opportunity, whether through a sale by Transcosmos directly to the Customer for use outside the Territory or a sale by NetSuite directly to the Customer, with some sort of compensation from NetSuite KK to Transcosmos for bringing the opportunity to NetSuite's attention. NetSuite KK will be required to pay compensation to Transcosmos under this Section 3.4, however, only to the extent agreed by NetSuite KK in writing.

3.5        Transcosmos' Marketing and Sale.    Transcosmos shall use commercially reasonable efforts to market, promote and Sell the Product in the Territory. Such efforts shall include Transcosmos and Authorized Resellers making regular sales calls to Customers, participating in trade shows to market and demonstrate the Product, prompt follow up of leads (including those identified by NetSuite and NetSuite KK), reporting customer responses and feedback to NetSuite KK, advising NetSuite KK regarding advertising and sales promotions, informing NetSuite KK of customer requests and needs related to the Product, informing NetSuite KK regarding Competing Products that are available in the Territory, and taking such other actions

 

-5-

Without limiting the foregoing, such efforts shall be no less than those used by Transcosmos for its other highest priority products and services. The Product shall be marketed at all times as Transcosmos' preferred solution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no sale of Product shall occur under this Agreement until the initial Product localization has been completed by NetSuite (as determined by NetSuite in consultation with Transcosmos), provided that marketing activities for Product may commence in advance of such completion to the extent agreed by the Parties.

3.6        Marketing Materials; Localization.

Transcosmos agrees that no modifications or derivatives of the Documentation or Product shall be created without NetSuite's prior written consent.

3.6.3    Subject to Sections 3.6.1 and 3.6.2, NetSuite KK hereby authorizes Transcosmos to reproduce the User Documentation, and marketing and sales Documentation, and to distribute such Documentation to Customers, directly and through Authorized Resellers, as necessary to market and promote the Product in the Territory and enable Customers to use the Product. NetSuite (and not NetSuite KK) shall exclusively own all right, title and interest in and to all Documentation and Product, and all derivatives, modifications, and improvements of the Documentation and Product, including all localized forms of the Documentation and Product and all patent, copyright, and other intellectual property rights with respect thereto, and Transcosmos hereby assigns and shall assign all such right, title and interest to NetSuite.

Each Marketing Plan shall include without limitation the information described in Exhibit 3.7 and shall be designed to fulfill Transcosmos' responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and compliance with the Marketing Plans, Transcosmos shall have full control and authority of its commercialization of Product in the Territory.

3.8        Sales and Support.

3.8.1    Except for any obligations of NetSuite KK to provide second level support to Transcosmos as set forth in Exhibit 3.8 of this Agreement, Transcosmos shall be solely responsible for (i) and NetSuite and NetSuite KK shall have no obligation to honor, any representations or warranties provided by Transcosmos or an Authorized Reseller with respect to the Product, and (ii) providing support and maintenance to Customers and Authorized Resellers. All sales and support personnel of Transcosmos shall be reasonably trained and competent in the use of the Product (and the advantages and benefits of the Product over competing solutions), and Transcosmos shall provide technical support promptly to all Customers and Authorized Resellers. Without limiting the foregoing, sales and support personnel of Transcosmos shall attend training offered by NetSuite and NetSuite KK, and Transcosmos shall dedicate personnel to activities under this Agreement as agreed by the Parties. Support responsibilities of NetSuite KK shall be solely second level support as set forth in Exhibit 3.8, and Transcosmos shall cooperate fully with NetSuite and NetSuite KK in connection with any support furnished by NetSuite or NetSuite KK. Transcosmos shall disclaim all support responsibilities of NetSuite and NetSuite KK directly to Customers and Authorized Resellers.

3.8.2    Transcosmos shall ensure that Customers contact Transcosmos, or its Authorized Reseller, and not NetSuite or NetSuite KK, for all support, provided that nothing shall preclude NetSuite, NetSuite KK and its designees from contacting Customers directly to provide support, including to discuss any problems or issues experienced by the Customers, to address or diagnose any Customer issues or concerns, and to otherwise provide support to Customers. Without limiting the foregoing, if Transcosmos fails to perform its support obligations under this Agreement or otherwise to its Customers, NetSuite and NetSuite KK shall have the right to provide support directly to Customers and to charge Transcosmos (including by deducting against the Pre-Pay Amount) NetSuite's or NetSuite KK's then current fees to end users for such support. Transcosmos shall notify NetSuite KK promptly in the event that Transcosmos or any of its Authorized Resellers receives any written complaint, or other formal communication of concerns or issues, regarding the Product or the use of the Product and shall provide a copy or reasonable description of the complaint or communication to NetSuite KK with such notice.

3.8.3    First level support by Transcosmos shall include: receipt of calls; problem and question intake; customer site visits for any reason; problem identification and diagnosis; efforts to create repeatable demonstrations of any issues; determining which problems require referral to NetSuite for in-depth analysis; distributing new Documentation made available by NetSuite; and taking any other actions appropriate as a first level support provider to resolve all Customer problems.

-7-


Trademark and NetSuite KK Trademark shall be presented equally legibly and equally prominently, but nevertheless separated from the other so that each appears to be a mark in its own right, distinct from the other mark. Except for the NetSuite Trademarks, the NetSuite KK Trademarks, and the trademarks and trade names of Transcosmos, no trademarks, trade names, or logos shall be used to market the Product. None of Transcosmos, its Affiliates or any Authorized Reseller shall engage in any deceptive, misleading, illegal, unfair, or unethical marketing or practices related to the Product or the NetSuite Trademarks, or NetSuite KK Trademarks.

3.9.2     License.  NetSuite KK hereby grants to Transcosmos a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty free license to use the NetSuite Trademarks and NetSuite KK Trademarks for the term of this Agreement to market and promote the Product in accordance with this Agreement. All ownership and goodwill from the use of the NetSuite Trademarks and NetSuite KK Trademarks shall vest in and inure solely to the benefit of NetSuite. Transcosmos hereby assigns, and shall assign, to NetSuite all such right, title and interest in and to the NetSuite Trademarks, NetSuite KK Trademarks, and associated goodwill of each.

3.9.3    Recordation.  NetSuite and NetSuite KK have the right to provide and record in the Territory a separate trademark license for Transcosmos for the licenses granted in this Section 3.9. Transcosmos shall cooperate in the preparation and execution of such documents. Upon termination of the trademark license set forth in this Section 3.9, Transcosmos shall cooperate in the cancellation of any trademark licenses that have been recorded. All domain names through which the Product are provided shall be registered in the name of NetSuite or its Affiliate or other designee. Transcosmos shall not register any NetSuite or NetSuite KK mark or mark confusingly similar to any NetSuite or NetSuite KK mark.

3.9.4    Trademark Infringement.    Transcosmos shall notify NetSuite KK promptly upon learning of any actual, alleged, or threatened infringement of a NetSuite Trademark or NetSuite KK Trademark or of any unfair trade practices, trade dress imitation, passing off of counterfeit goods, or similar offenses.

3.9.5    Approval of Representations.      All representations of NetSuite Trademarks and NetSuite KK Trademarks that Transcosmos intends to use shall first be submitted to NetSuite KK and NetSuite for approval of design, color, and other details or shall be exact copies of those used by NetSuite and NetSuite KK and shall in all events comply with the usage guidelines established by NetSuite and NetSuite KK from time to time. NetSuite KK has the right to change the NetSuite Trademarks and NetSuite KK Trademarks by providing ninety (90) days prior written notice, and an updated Exhibits 1.10 and/or 1.11 (if appropriate), to Transcosmos. From and after the end of such ninety (90) day period, as so designated in NetSuite KK's notice, any mark that is to be deleted shall cease to be a NetSuite Trademark or NetSuite KK Trademark, and any mark that is to be added shall thereafter be considered a NetSuite Trademark or NetSuite KK Trademark, as the case may be.

3.10    Third Party Beneficiary.  NetSuite shall be a third party beneficiary of, with the power to enforce, all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement against Transcosmos. NetSuite has no obligations to Transcosmos under this Agreement, however.

 

-8-


3.11        No Other Rights.  All right, title and interest in and to the Product are reserved to NetSuite, and no license is granted to Transcosmos with respect to the Product under this Agreement. The relationship between NetSuite KK and Transcosmos is non-exclusive, and nothing shall be construed to prevent or limit NetSuite KK's right to appoint other non-exclusive resellers to engage in the direct and indirect marketing, distribution and sale of the Product in the Territory, including to Customers and through Authorized Resellers and other resellers. Any unauthorized use or exploitation by a Party of the other Party's (or NetSuite�s) patents, copyrights, trade secrets, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement by such Party.


 

4.

PRICES

4.1        Product Prices.    The prices paid by Transcosmos to NetSuite KK for the Product shall be fifty percent (50%) of the price on NetSuite KK's then current end user price list for Product sold generally to end user Customers in the Territory, as such price list is designated by NetSuite KK. Such amounts are non-refundable and non-creditable (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement) and shall become due and payable by Transcosmos to NetSuite KK when NetSuite provisions the particular Customer account unless otherwise agreed in writing. NetSuite KK has the right to update such price list from time to time by providing notice and a copy of the updated price list to Transcosmos. The updated prices shall apply to all accounts that are provisioned by NetSuite thirty (30) days after the date of the price change notice from NetSuite KK.

4.2        Most Favored Pricing.    If NetSuite KK enters into a written agreement with any third party on terms and conditions that are substantially the same as those in this Agreement and under which NetSuite KK has agreed to make the Product available for marketing and sale in the Territory by the third party to Customers generally, and if the Product pricing provided by NetSuite KK to the third party in such reseller agreement for Product for re-sales to Customers in the Territory generally is more favorable than the Product pricing to Transcosmos under Section 4.1, then NetSuite KK will agree to reduce the pricing for Product in this Agreement to match the pricing set forth in such agreement with the third party, provided that such reduced pricing shall apply only with respect to the same volumes of Product and time periods for which the more favorable pricing was provided to the third party. No agreement with a third party shall be considered to have substantially the same terms as this Agreement if the lower price was provided in connection with any material commitments by the third party or its affiliates that are not made by Transcosmos in this Agreement. Under no circumstances shall NetSuite KK have any obligation, as a result of this Section 4.2, to provide any refund of any amounts that have been paid to NetSuite KK, and under no circumstances shall this Section 4.2 apply based upon any litigation or similar settlement agreement, any licenses that are granted by NetSuite KK or NetSuite, or any sales by licensees or other third party. Similarly, under no circumstances shall any pricing for sales to end user customers or outside the Territory be a basis for a price decrease under this Section 4.2.

4.3        Support Fees.    The fees for the support and maintenance provided by NetSuite KK shall be as set forth in NetSuite KK's then current price list, as updated by NetSuite KK from time to time. Such fees are non-refundable and non-creditable and shall become due and payable as

 

-9-


described in NetSuite's then current price list or, if not described, within thirty (30) days after the date of invoice.

4.4        Taxes and Government Charges.    The prices do not include any taxes (including any excise, sales, use, value added, withholding, or similar taxes), customs duties, tariffs or other government fees, and amounts payable to NetSuite KK shall be paid by Transcosmos in full without reduction for any such taxes, duties, tariffs or fees. The amounts payable to NetSuite KK as described in this Agreement shall not be reduced by any taxes, duties or other governmental fees.

4.5        Sole Remuneration.    Transcosmos' sole remuneration for performing its responsibilities under this Agreement shall be the payments it receives from its Customers and Authorized Resellers, less the amounts payable to NetSuite KK under this Agreement. Transcosmos and its Authorized Resellers are solely responsible for establishing the prices charged to Customers and Authorized Resellers for Product. No failure to collect payment from any Customer or Authorized Reseller shall relieve Transcosmos of its obligation to pay NetSuite KK under this Agreement.


 

5.

5.3        Product Use Terms: Privacy Policy.

5.3.1    All access to and use of the Product, including by Transcosmos and its Authorized Resellers and the employees and contractors of any Customers, shall be subject to terms and conditions that are as protective of NetSuite KK (and its service providers, including NetSuite) and the Product as the Product Use Terms and NetSuite KK's (and its service providers�, including NetSuite�s) then current privacy policy, as updated by NetSuite and its service providers from time to time. Transcosmos shall require each Customer to agree, prior to any access or use by the Customer, to such terms and conditions and to the most recent version of such privacy policies. The foregoing is not intended to limit Transcosmos' agreement with the Customer to the Product Use Terms, and is not intended to require Transcosmos to use the express Product Use Terms in Exhibit 1.15, provided that no agreement with a Customer shall be less protective of NetSuite KK (and its service providers) and the Product than the Product Use Terms or this Agreement, and Transcosmos shall obtain NetSuite's KK's (and NetSuite�s) advance written consent to the agreement that Transcosmos uses with Customers. Transcosmos shall obtain agreement by the Customer in the form of the Customer's signature or an equivalent indication by the Customer that binds the Customer to such a contract with Transcosmos. For clarity, all contracts for access to and use of the Product shall be between Transcosmos or its Authorized Reseller, and the applicable Customer, and NetSuite KK's obligations shall be limited to NetSuite KK's obligations to Transcosmos under this Agreement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary (including any terms and conditions, or click through agreement, on NetSuite's web site).

5.3.2    NetSuite KK has the right to modify and otherwise update the Product Use Terms by providing to Transcosmos an updated Exhibit 1.15 reflecting the changes (which may include delivery by email), and has the right to update the privacy policy of NetSuite and NetSuite KK, including by posting an updated privacy policy on their web site. Transcosmos shall require that each Customer, including existing Customers, agree to the updated Product Use Terms and privacy policies as a condition to continued access to and use of the Product.

5.3.3    Transcosmos shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Customers comply with the Product Use Terms and shall notify NetSuite KK promptly upon becoming aware of any failure to comply, provide NetSuite KK with all information within its knowledge regarding such circumstance, and shall assist and cooperate with NetSuite and NetSuite KK as reasonably requested for purposes of remedying any such failure. Transcosmos shall not Sell, or otherwise make the Product available, to any party that has failed to comply with the Product Use Terms, unless approved by NetSuite KK in writing. NetSuite and NetSuite KK shall have the right to terminate all Customer accounts in accordance with the then current Product Use Terms and this Agreement, and Transcosmos agrees that it will not make any inconsistent or conflicting

commitment. Transcosmos shall make NetSuite and NetSuite KK a third party beneficiary of, with the power to enforce against each Customer (including Authorized Resellers), all Product Use Terms for the Product.

5.3.4    No username or password shall be used, except in accordance with the Product Use Terms by, and for the benefit of, the Customer for which it is issued.

All use by Transcosmos and its Authorized Resellers shall be subject to the Product Use Terms, except that Transcosmos' and its Authorized Resellers' right to use the Product includes the right to demonstrate the Product to Customers in the Territory as necessary to perform its marketing obligations under this Agreement. With respect to all use by Transcosmos, the Product Use Terms are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement and shall be enforceable against Transcosmos under this Agreement as if fully set forth herein.

5.5        Customer Information.    Transcosmos shall provide, and hereby grants, to NetSuite KK (and its service providers, including NetSuite) sufficient rights and licenses to provide the Product and support with respect to all information, data, works, and other subject matter that is transmitted through or using, submitted to, received from, or otherwise provided to or by NetSuite or NetSuite KK, as a result of the use or operation of the Product

after the Customer's request, the Customer shall have the right to terminate its access to the Product by providing written notice thereof to Transcosmos (which Transcosmos shall forward to NetSuite KK). Upon receipt of such Customer request for termination, NetSuite KK shall disable the Customer's account and provide to Transcosmos a pro-rata refund of the license fees paid under Section 4.1 of this Agreement for use of the Product which was paid for by the Customer, but not yet furnished by NetSuite KK, as of the date of NetSuite KK's receipt of such notice of termination, but only to the extent that Transcosmos has similarly refunded the Customer's fees to the Customer. Transcosmos agrees that NetSuite KK reserves the right to discontinue offering the Product to each Customer at the conclusion of such Customer's term of its then current Customer agreement entered into in accordance with this Agreement. Transcosmos agrees that NetSuite KK shall not be liable to Transcosmos, any Customer or any other party, for any modification or termination of the Product as described in this Section 5.6, except for the refund that NetSuite KK has agreed to provide as described in this Section 5.6. NetSuite will provide an updated Exhibit 1.14 to Transcosmos reflecting any changes.

The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any action with respect to a Claim, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such Indemnitor of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Article 10 but the omission so to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability that it may have to any Indemnitee other than under this Article 10. The Indemnitee under this Article 10 shall cooperate fully with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation and defense of any action with respect to a claim covered by this indemnification, at the Indemnitor's expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that the Indemnitor has performed its obligations in accordance with this Article 10, the Indemnitor shall not be responsible for any costs or expenses incurred without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor.

13.9        No Waivers.  The failure of either Party at any time to require performance by the other of any provision hereof shall not affect the right of such Party to require performance at any time thereafter, nor shall the waiver of either Party of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of a provision itself.

13.10        Notices.  Any notice or other communication required by this Agreement shall be made in writing and given by (i) prepaid, first class, certified mail, return receipt requested, (ii) facsimile (with confirmation of successful transmission and a duplicate notice sent promptly by one of the other methods in the paragraph), or (iii) reputable courier; and shall be deemed to have been served on the date received by the addressee at the following address or such other address as may from time to time be designated to the other Party in writing:

EXHIBIT 1.11

NETSUITE KK TRADEMARKS


EXHIBIT 1.15

PRODUCT USE TERMS

Nothing in this Exhibit 1.15 shall be construed to limit any obligations or responsibilities of Transcosmos under the Agreement above.

For purposes of the terms in this Exhibit 1.15 below (the "Product Use Terms"): (i) "End User" means the Customer under whose name NetSuite has provisioned the Product; (ii) "Product" means NetSuite's Product as defined in the Agreement above; (iii) "Documentation" means NetSuite's User Documentation as defined in the Agreement above; (iv) "Web Site" means NetSuite's web site, localized for the Territory, through which NetSuite makes the Product available for Customers in the Territory, at the URL address identified by NetSuite for the Territory, and (v) "Customer Data" means any information, materials and other subject matter that End User submits to, transmits or distributes through, receives from, or stores using, the Product or Web Site.

1.        Activation; Product Provider; Use Terms.

(a)      Product Provider.    End User acknowledges and agrees that the Product is being provided by NetSuite, Inc. or its affiliate (individually and collectively, "NetSuite"), as an application service provider, to Transcosmos and that Transcosmos (and not NetSuite) is selling the Product to End User. Accordingly, Transcosmos, and not NetSuite, shall be solely responsible to End User for the Products, the Web Site and the operation and use thereof, notwithstanding any NetSuite branding on the Web Site. End User shall contact Transcosmos, and not NetSuite, with respect to the Product and Web Site, including to obtain any related support or assistance, report any problems, or the like.

(b)      Activation.    To activate End User's access to and use of the Product and the Web Site, End User must read and agree to these Product Use Terms, including all disclaimers and limitations of liability, and limitations on access to and use of the Product and the Web Site. The Product Use Terms shall govern all access to and use of the Product and Web Site. No activation shall be effective, however, until the account is actually provisioned by NetSuite as described in Exhibit 5.2 of the Agreement, and Transcosmos has the right to terminate this Agreement should NetSuite not agree to provision the account. All information provided by End User to activate an account shall be accurate and complete.

(c)      NetSuite; Third Party Beneficiary.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, including any terms or conditions and privacy policy posted on the Web Site, NetSuite shall have no obligation, responsibility or liability to End User arising out of or related to the Product, Web Site, or the operation or use thereof, or any ancillary products or services provided by Transcosmos. In particular, the only obligations and responsibility to End User regarding the Products and Web Site shall be those by Transcosmos as expressly set forth in these Product Use Terms. END USER AGREES THAT IT, AND ITS AFFILIATES AND USERS, SHALL NOT ASSERT OR BRING ANY CLAM OR ACTION AGAINST NETSUITE OR ITS AFFILIATES IN CONNECTION WITH THE PRODUCT, THE WEB SITE, OR THE PERFORMANCE OR USE THEREOF,


WHETHER BASED UPON THESE PRODUCT USE TERMS OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING FOR ANY FAILURE OF THE PRODUCTS AND INCLUDING BASED UPON ANY ANCILLARY OR RELATED PRODUCTS OR SERVICES. Notwithstanding the foregoing, NetSuite is and shall be a third party beneficiary of, with the power to enforce, these Product Use Terms (including without limitation any disclaimers and limitations of liability) against the End User. No terms or conditions in these Product Use Terms shall limit any remedies available to NetSuite.

(d)        Changes to Product Use Terms.  These Product Use Terms may be updated at any time by providing an updated copy of the Product Use Terms to End User, which delivery may be by email or through the Web Site. Continued access to and use of the Product and Web Site shall be subject to End User's agreement to any such updated Product Use Terms. If End User does not agree to the updated Product Use Terms, End User shall notify Transcosmos and shall not access or use the Product or Web Site further. For clarity, while updated Product Use Terms may be posted on the Web Site, any indication of agreement by the End User on the Web Site to such Product Use Terms shall form a contract between End User and Transcosmos only. No contractual relationship shall be formed between NetSuite and End User, whether or not the terms and conditions purport to be an agreement with NetSuite.

2.        Internal Use Only. All access to and use of the Product and Web Site shall be solely for the End User's own internal business operations and not for the benefit or business of any other party. Without limiting the foregoing, End User shall not license, rent, sell, lease, transfer, assign, distribute, display, host, outsource, disclose, link to, mirror, frame, provide a service bureau using, or otherwise commercially exploit or make available to any party (other than End User's authorized employees) the Product, Web Site or output from, or use or benefit of, the Product.

3.        Other Use Restrictions. End User (and all users under its account) shall use the Product and Web Site solely in the manner described in the User Documentation, as the User Documentation is updated from time to time.

(a)        End User shall not (and shall not allow any third party to) copy, modify, create derivative works of, reverse engineer, reverse assemble, disassemble or decompile the Product, Web Site, or any part thereof, or otherwise attempt to discover or obtain any source code or other code in human perceivable form.

(b)        End User shall comply with all applicable local, state, federal, national, international and foreign laws, treaties, regulations, conventions, and standards of each applicable jurisdiction and community in connection with the use of the Product and Web Site, including those related to privacy, electronic communications and anti-spam legislation. Neither the Product nor Web Site shall be accessed or used in a manner that is, or that aids or assists any purpose or activity that is, illegal; invades or infringes the privacy or other rights or expectations of any person; that may be considered offensive, abusive, inappropriate, threatening, harassing, libelous, slanderous, defamatory, intrusive, surreptitious, obscene or inconsistent with community standards; or that may otherwise damage Transcosmos' or its service providers' business, services, reputation, or good will. NetSuite has the right to delete any Customer Data that violates this Section 3(b).

 

-2-


(c)      End User shall access and use the Product and Web Site only through the graphical user interfaces that are expressly provided on the Web Site and described in the User Documentation.

(d)      End User shall not upload, store, post, reproduce, submit, distribute or transmit any information, software or other material or subject matter that is protected by copyright, trade secrets, or any other intellectual property or proprietary right (including rights of publicity and privacy) without first obtaining the authorization of the owner of such rights, including any rights necessary for Transcosmos and its service providers to provide, and End User to use, the Products and Web Site with respect to such subject matter.

(e)      End User shall not indicate or imply that any communications or transmissions using the Products or Web Site are endorsed by NetSuite or its service providers.

4.        User Names and Passwords. User names and passwords shall be used only for the benefit of End User. Contractors shall not use the Product for their own benefit. End User shall be responsible for all use in violation of these Product Use Terms through its account or using any of its user names and passwords.

5.        Related Equipment and Software. End User shall provide and obtain all equipment, software, and accounts, including communications infrastructure, necessary to establish a connection to the Internet, and will further obtain access to the Internet and pay any service fees associated with such access, if any, will agree to use software produced by other third parties, including, but not limited to, "browser" software that supports a data security protocol compatible with the protocol used by NetSuite. Unless notified otherwise by Transcosmos or its service provider, End User agrees to use software that supports the Secure Socket Layer protocol or other protocols accepted by NetSuite and to follow logon procedures for Product that support such protocols.

6.        Rights of Transcosmos and its Providers. End User hereby grants, and shall grant, to NetSuite (and its service providers) the non-exclusive right and license to copy, record, transmit, maintain, store, display, view, print, adapt, and otherwise use all Customer Data, and to engage in such other activities, to the extent necessary to provide and operate the Product and Web Site for the benefit of End User (including disclosure and distribution of Customer Data as specified by End User and to NetSuite's contractors and service providers). Without limiting the foregoing, End User agrees that NetSuite, and its contractors and service providers, are authorized to intercept and store communications and transmissions and Customer Data, and that changes to such communications and transmission may occur in order to conform and adapt the Customer Data to the technical requirements of connection networks or devices used in or by the Product or Web Site. Transcosmos and its services providers do not provide or obtain, or purport to provide or obtain, any such rights.

7.        Product Changes; Discontinuance. Transcosmos and its service providers have the right, from time to time in their sole discretion, without incurring any liability to End User (except for credits or refunds that Transcosmos may be required to pay as expressly set forth in these Product Use Terms) to modify the design of, specifications for, or operation of, or suspend or

 

-3-


terminate the availability of, the Product and Web Site. Without limiting the foregoing, NetSuite and its service providers shall have no obligation to continue the availability of the Product or the Web Site. NETSUITE AND ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY AS A RESULT OF ANY SUCH MODIFICATION, SUSPENSION, OR TERMINATION.

8.         Ancillary Products and Services.        NETSUITE SHALL HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, OTHER THAN THE PRODUCT PROVIDED BY NETSUITE AS AN APPLICATION SERVICE PROVIDER ON THE WEB SITE.

9.        Security.    End User understands that all communications, transmissions, and submissions to, through, and from the Product and Web Site are transmitted through networks, equipment and facilities that are not owned or controlled by Transcosmos and its service providers and that such communications, transmissions, and submissions may be accessed or intercepted by unauthorized parties. NetSuite intends to take such measures as it considers reasonably appropriate for purposes of maintaining the security of only its own facilities used to provide the Products and Web Site. Provided that NetSuite takes such measures, NETSUITE SHALL HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY COMMUNICATIONS, TRANSMISSIONS, OR SUBMISSIONS WHICH ARE ALTERED, INTERCEPTED, ACCESSED OR STORED WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION OR ANY OTHER BREACHES OF SECURITY. None of NetSuite and its services providers shall be required to authenticate the identity of any user. End User shall notify Transcosmos immediately of any unauthorized use of the Web Site or Product; loss or theft of any user name or password; or any other security failure of which End user is aware.

10.        Product Interruptions.    The Product (including use of the Web Site) may become unavailable and inaccessible at any time without notice, both for reasons controlled by Transcosmos and its services providers and for reasons not controlled or determined by Transcosmos or its service providers. In the event of planned unavailability, Transcosmos will attempt in good faith to provide End User with at least seven (7) days' notice of the unavailability. Planned outages may also be announced by email and on the Web Site. Subject to the foregoing, TRANSCOSMOS AND ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY AS A RESULT OF ANY UNAVAILABILITY OF, IN ACCESS ABILITY TO, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE PRODUCT OR WEB SITE, WHETHER OR NOT THE UNAVAILABILITY, INACCESSIBILITY, OR INABILITY TO USE, IS WITHIN THEIR CONTROL, EXCEPT FOR CREDITS OR REFUNDS PROVIDED BY TRANSCOSMOS UNDER THESE PRODUCT USE TERMS AND TRANSCOSMOs' SUPPORT OBLIGATIONS UNDER THESE PRODUCT USE TERMS.

11.        Data.        PROVIDED THAT NETSUITE HAS TAKEN REASONABLE PRECAUTIONS TO BACKUP DATA, NETSUITE SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA OR INFORMATION. IF NETSUITE FAILS TO TAKE SUCH PRECAUTIONS, NETSUITE's TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR LOSS OF

 

-4-


DATA SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AVERAGE ANNUAL AMOUNTS PAID TO NETSUITE BY TRANSCOSMOS FOR THE STORAGE OF END USER's DATA USING THE PRODUCT.

12.        Links. The Product may provide, or third parties may provide through the Product, links to other Internet sites or resources. Because NetSuite has no control over such sites and resources, End User acknowledges and agrees that NetSuite shall not be held responsible for the availability of such external sites or resources and does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for any content, advertising, products or other materials on or available from such other sites or resources.

13.        Privacy Policy. All access to and use of the Product and Web Site shall be subject to NetSuite's (and its service providers�) privacy policies posted on the Web Site, as updated by NetSuite from time to time. NetSuite has the right to update its privacy policy without notice by posting an updated privacy policy on its Web Site. End User's continued access and use of the Web Site shall constitute agreement to any updated privacy policy.

14.        Intellectual Property.

(a)        Suggestions. End User acknowledges that NetSuite does not wish to receive any information or technology related to the Product or the Web Site unless the information and technology can be used in any products and services, in NetSuite's discretion. Accordingly, except as otherwise agreed by NetSuite in writing prior to disclosure of the information or technology to NetSuite, NetSuite has the non-exclusive, perpetual, non-terminable, paid-up, royalty free, worldwide right and license, with the right to grant and authorize sublicenses, to incorporate all such information and technology into products and services and to make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell, import, reproduce, distribute, transmit, publicly display and perform, and otherwise exploit such products, services and derivatives thereof.

(b)        Trademarks. NetSuite, the NetSuite logo, NetCRM, NetERP, NetFlex, the NetCRM logo, and other NetSuite trademarks, trade names, service marks and logos are marks of NetSuite (the "NetSuite Marks"), and End User shall not use or display the NetSuite Marks or any marks or logos confusingly similar thereto.

(c)        Proprietary Rights Notices. End User shall not (and shall not allow any third party to) remove, alter or obscure any patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights notices (including restricted rights notices) of NetSuite on the Product or

(d)        No Rights or Licenses. No rights or licenses are granted to End User in these Product Use Terms. All rights, title, and interest in and to all technology and intellectual property concerning the Product and the Web Site are and shall be solely owned by NetSuite.

15.      No Warranties. EXCEPT FOR ANY SUPPORT OBLIGATIONS OF TRANSCOSMOS, ALL PRODUCTS AND THE WEB SITE ARE PROVIDED "AS-IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND TRANSCOSMOS AND ITS SERVICE

 

-5-


PROVIDERS HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, STATUTORY, IMPLIED, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. NETSUITE DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE PRODUCT, OR THE WEB SITE OR FACILITIES USED TO PROVIDE THE PRODUCT OR WEB SITE, WILL BE ERROR FREE, SECURE, OR UNINTERRUPTED.

16.      Term and Termination.

(b)        In the event of any breach of the Product Use Terms, or any unauthorized access or use to the Web Site or the Products, or any failure to pay, End User's account shall terminate thirty (30) days after notice of such breach, access, or use, unless End User has cured the breach, or unauthorized access or use, within such thirty (30) day period.

(c)        NetSuite has the right to suspend and terminate the account of End User if there are any claims or actions are brought against NetSuite by End User or its affiliates or if any use of the Product or Web Site is causing harm to NetSuite, the Product, or others; if NetSuite has not been paid for the Product; or if NetSuite is prohibited or enjoined from providing the Product. NETSUITE SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY SUCH SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION, subject to any refunds or credits that Transcosmos may be required to pay as set forth in these Product Use Terms.

(d)        NetSuite has the right to delete all Customer Data thirty (30) days after any termination or expiration of the End User's account; provided that if End User did not have thirty (30) days' notice of the termination or expiration, and if NetSuite has been paid all undisputed amounts due to NetSuite, NetSuite will give End User access to its account during such thirty (30) day period in accordance with the use terms described above as necessary to provide the End User with an opportunity to retrieve lawful Customer Data.

(e)        In the event of any termination or expiration of these Product Use Terms, Sections 1, 7, 8, 9 (the disclaimer of liability only), 10 (last sentence only), 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16(c) (last sentence only), 16(d), 16(e), 17, 18 and 19 of these Product Use Terms shall survive.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties to the arbitration may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for temporary or permanent injunctive relief without breach of this Section 16. Each party shall bear its own costs in connection with the foregoing arbitration.

18.      Governing Law. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OTHERWISE AUTHORIZED BY NETSUITE, ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT THAT INVOLVE NETSUITE OR ITS AFFILIATE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, USA, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES OF CALIFORNIA OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

EXHIBIT 5.2

PROVISIONING CUSTOMER ACCOUNTS

The order process, and provisioning of Customer accounts, shall be as follows:

1.        NSCORP Username and Password. Within           (    ) days after the Effective Date, NetSuite KK (or its service provider) will provide to Transcosmos an NSCORP username and password that enables Transcosmos to log in to the partner center made available by NetSuite, at the URL designed by NetSuite (as such URL is updated by NetSuite from time to time), through the instance of NSCORP run by NetSuite at its facilities.

2.        Orders. In order to issue each Product order to NetSuite KK, Transcosmos shall log in to its NSCORP account, provide the information specific to the Customer that is requested by the Product order form, and upload a copy of the Customer agreement that was approved by NetSuite and NetSuite KK in advance and that has been signed by both Transcosmos and the particular Customer.

3.        Provisioning. NetSuite KK (or its service provider) will review each Product order submitted by Transcosmos and if acceptable and if NetSuite KK has received appropriate pre-payment for the Customer account, will provision the Customer account by issuing an initial username and password directly to the Customer.

4.        Additional Customer User Names and Passwords. After NetSuite KK (or its service provider) issues the initial username and password as described in Section 3 of this Exhibit above, the Customer shall have the right to assign usernames and passwords to the particular users under their account, but limited to the number of seats for which NetSuite KK has been paid in advance.

5.        Form and Content of Product Orders. All Product orders shall at minimum identify the Customer (including the address of its headquarters and the Customer contact), and number of seats.

6.        Payment. NetSuite KK (or its service provider) will also issue an invoice to Transcosmos when provisioning the Customer account and NetSuite KK has the right to deduct, prior to provisioning the account, against the Transcosmos pre-payments the amounts to be invoiced to Transcosmos.
