This End User License Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between Smart City Water Inc. (the “LICENSOR”) and the user (“USER”) and, where applicable, the organization (the “LICENSEE”) for the use of the VO OTTHYMO software program and/or the VO SWMM software program (the “Software”).

1. Grant of License: The LICENSOR grants the USER a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Software in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions outlined in this Agreement, the Service License Agreement, and the Terms and Conditions Agreement.
2. Restrictions: The USER shall not decompile, reverse-engineer, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to gain access to the source code of the Software. Any attempt to do so will constitute a material breach of this Agreement and shall result in the immediate termination of the USER’s access to the Software without refund to the LICENSEE. The USER and LICENSEE shall also be liable for all damages incurred as a result of such actions, including but not limited to damages for lost profits, copyright infringement, and trade secret misappropriation. The LICENSOR may also pursue any other remedies available at law or in equity. These outlined restrictions will remain in effect beyond the term of the Agreement.
3. Ownership: The LICENSOR retains all rights, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all intellectual property rights. This Agreement does not grant the USER any rights to patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade secrets related to the Software.

6. Disclaimer of Warranty: The USER expressly acknowledges and agrees that use of the Software is at the USER’s sole risk.

Further, the Software is complex, requiring professional engineering expertise and professional engineering judgment to input information into the Software and to interpret the information generated thereby. Therefore, the LICENSOR makes no warranty, either implicit or explicit, as to the correct performance or accuracy of the Software.
7. Termination: This Agreement shall remain in effect until terminated by either party. The LICENSOR reserves the right to terminate this Agreement immediately if the USER breaches any of the terms outlined herein.

Any Third-Party Software licensed to the USER is subject to the terms and conditions of the corresponding Third-Party License. Please contact VO support if you cannot find a Third-Party License.
9. Country Unique Codes and License Sharing: The purchase of the Software program is country-specific. License sharing is permissible where applicable (e.g. a flexible user license) within the country of purchase and not internationally. This excludes the sharing of single user licenses. Separate licenses specific to the country will be required for the use of the program in multiple countries.
10. Indemnification
    1. Mutual Indemnification: The LICENSEE (the “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the LICENSOR (the “Indemnified Party”), its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to the Indemnifying Party’s breach of this Agreement or negligence or willful misconduct in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

The arbitration shall be conducted in Toronto, Ontario, by a single arbitrator appointed by the parties or, failing their agreement, by the ADR Institute of Canada. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.
    2. Recovery of Legal Fees and Equitable Relief: The prevailing party in any arbitration or legal action shall be entitled to recover its reasonable legal fees and costs from the other party.
