Subject to the timely payment by Licensee of the fees and charges set forth on the attached “Schedule of Fees and Usage Rights,” Licensee shall have the following rights:

(c) “User Manual” means a compendium of operating instructions and system features that is provided to Licensee upon installation and configuration of the System. The User Manual addresses most, but not all, features and functions of the System and Licensee understands and agrees that the User Manual can and will be updated by ICG from time to time. It is agreed that upon provision to Licensee of an updated version of the User Manual, that updated User Manual will supersede and replace the earlier User Manual, which update will be effective when Licensee actually receives the updated User Manual.

(b) Licensee may make one additional copy of the Software in machine-readable form solely for backup purposes. Licensee must reproduce on any such copy all copyright notices and any other proprietary legends on the original copy of the Software.

(c) Licensee agrees that ICG may audit use of the Software for compliance with these terms at any time, upon reasonable notice. Audit rights include access to network and system log data and other resources capable of detailing the use of the Software by Licensee.

(d) Licensee’s rights under this Agreement are non-exclusive.

Additional Terms for Managed Service Deployment

Where Licensee elects to operate the System locally and on its computers and network, except for the express support obligations agreed to by ICG herein, Licensee is and shall at all times remain responsible for data retention and related data protection and back up procedures.

In the event Licensee chooses the managed service deployment option, where the System is operated and Licensee’s data is stored and processed on ICG controlled computers and networks, ICG shall use current and industry approved commercially reasonable efforts to protect Licensee’s data and to ensure that Licensee’s authorized users are able to access and use the System 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and throughout the calendar year. In undertaking to make the System and Licensee’s data continuously available, Licensee recognizes that 1) interruptions can occur that are beyond the reasonable control of ICG arising from hardware, software and network issues, and 2) routine maintenance and upgrades to the System will necessarily require that the System and Licensee’s data be temporarily unavailable.
