2. Your rights
In consideration for payment of the fees set out in Your Purchase Order (and any renewals or extension) and subject to compliance with these terms:
2.1 Zentyal Server Software. Licensor grants You a worldwide, non-exclusive and non-transferable license (for own use) to use and reproduce the Software in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of Zentyal and the purchase order. This, however, will not prevent the transfer of the contract in the exclusively limited cases mentioned in the clause 10 of these conditions.
2.2 Maintenance and Technical Support. During the Term established in the purchase order, the Licensor shall provide maintenance services and/or technical support for the Software in accordance with the conditions established in the “Zentyal Support Customer Guide” (attached in Annex) or any updated support policy in force upon renewal, made available to You by the Licensor. The Licensor will provide You access to maintenance patches and Software updates, which will be governed by this Agreement. The Licensor may assign or subcontract with third parties (partners) the total or partial provision of any maintenance and support services, design, development or customization, prior communication to You and provided that the same guarantees and responsibilities as those provided herein are maintained.
2.3 Software development. When agreed by the Parties, the Licensor can provide You software design and development services (remotely or on site) on the basis of a budget submitted by the Licensor and accepted by You (in the “Statement of Work”) and upon acceptance by You to pay the agreed fees. Unless otherwise agreed in the Statement, any software developed by the Licensor under this clause will be considered as “Software” owned by the Licensor and licensed to You under these terms at no extra charge.
2.4 Users. Your Purchase Order (“PO”) indicates the Zentyal Server version and the maximum number of users allowed under Your Agreement. In the event that the PO establishes a limit on Users, You may apply at any time to extend the Agreement to additional Users (e.g. switching from the “Small” edition to “Medium”). We will extend the Agreement to enable You to use the Software and Services with respect to such change. You agree to pay the additional fees corresponding to such change, according to the terms and prices in force at that time.
