MAINTENANCE may include access to software-as-a-service (SaaS). If so, the terms of service for the relevant service are identified at http://www.citrix.com/buy/licensing/agreements.html. MAINTENANCE begins on the date the License Keys for the PRODUCT are made available to you by email.

During the initial or a renewal MAINTENANCE Term, CITRIX will make any Updates for the PRODUCT covered by the plan available to you. An "Update" shall mean a generally available release of the same edition of the same PRODUCT which Citrix makes available from time to time. Updates shall be considered to be a part of the PRODUCT and subject to the terms of this AGREEMENT, except that Updates are not covered by the Limited Warranty applicable to the PRODUCT, to the extent permitted by applicable law. You acknowledge that CITRIX may develop and market new or different computer programs or editions of the PRODUCT that use portions of the PRODUCT and that perform all or part of the functions performed by the PRODUCT. Nothing contained in this AGREEMENT shall give you any rights with respect to such new or different computer programs or editions. The plan may be purchased for the PRODUCT until it is no longer offered in accordance with the applicable CITRIX PRODUCT Support Lifecycle Policy posted at http://www.citrix.com/support/product-lifecycle.html. You also acknowledge that CITRIX is not obligated to make any Updates available. Any deliveries of Updates shall be electronic. The plan may include technical support if so stated at http:// www.citrix.com/support/programs.html. The offering you purchase determines your entitlement.

In situations where CITRIX cannot provide a satisfactory resolution to your critical problem through normal technical support methods, CITRIX may engage its product development team to create a private fix. Private fixes are designed to address your specific situation and may not be distributed by you outside your organization without written consent from CITRIX. CITRIX retains all right, title, and interest in and to all private fixes. Any hotfixes or private fixes are not provided as the PRODUCT under the terms of this AGREEMENT and they are not covered by the Limited Warranty or Infringement Indemnification applicable to the PRODUCT, to the extent permitted by applicable law. With respect to CITRIX consulting services, all intellectual property rights in all deliverables, pre-existing works and derivative works of such pre-existing works, as well as developments made, conceived, created, discovered, invented, or reduced to practice in the performance of the assessment are and shall remain the sole and absolute property of CITRIX, subject to a worldwide, non-exclusive license to you for internal use.
3. DESCRIPTION OF OTHER RIGHTS, LIMITATIONS, AND OBLIGATIONS. You may not transfer, rent, timeshare, grant rights in or lease the PRODUCT except to the extent such foregoing restriction is prohibited by applicable mandatory law. If you purchased or otherwise received replacement License Keys as part of a PRODUCT upgrade or otherwise and such replacement is a condition of the transaction, you agree to destroy the original License Keys and retain no copies after installation of the new License Keys and PRODUCT. You shall provide the serial numbers of the original License Keys and corresponding replacement License Keys to the reseller and, upon request, directly to CITRIX for tracking purposes. In the event you make a transfer of the PRODUCT in the EU or EER, to the extent permitted by law notwithstanding the terms of this AGREEMENT, you must uninstall the PRODUCT and License Keys, transfer them to the transferee and retain no copies.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to allow CITRIX to audit your compliance with the terms of this AGREEMENT upon prior written notice and during normal business hours.

4. INFRINGEMENT INDEMNIFICATION. In the event of any claim, suit, or proceeding brought against you based on an allegation that a PRODUCT or consulting deliverable hereunder (excluding Open Source Software unless noted at http://www.citrix.com/buy/licensing/product.html) infringes upon any patent, copyright or trade secret of any third party ("Infringement Claim"), CITRIX shall defend, or at its option, settle such Infringement Claim, and shall pay all costs (including attorney’s fees) associated with the defense of such Infringement Claim, and all damages finally awarded or settlements undertaken by CITRIX in resolution of such Infringement Claim, provided you: promptly notify CITRIX in writing of your notification or discovery of an Infringement Claim such that CITRIX is not prejudiced by any delay in such notification; give CITRIX sole control over the defense or settlement of the Infringement Claim; and provide reasonable assistance in the defense of the same. Following notice of an Infringement Claim, or if CITRIX believes such a claim is likely, CITRIX may at its sole expense and option: (i) procure for you the right to continue to use the alleged infringing PRODUCT or consulting deliverable; (ii) replace or modify the PRODUCT or consulting deliverable to make it non-infringing; or (iii) accept return of the PRODUCT or consulting deliverable and, for the PRODUCT, provide you with a prorated refund using a three (3) year straight line depreciation basis, or, for the consulting deliverable, refund payments made for the deliverable. CITRIX assumes no liability for any Infringement Claims or allegations of infringement based on: (i) your use of any PRODUCT or consulting deliverable after notice that you should cease use of such PRODUCT or consulting deliverable due to an Infringement Claim; (ii) any modification of the PRODUCT or consulting deliverable by you or at your direction; (iii) your combination of the PRODUCT or consulting deliverable with non-CITRIX hardware, software, services, data or other content or materials if such Infringement Claim would have been avoided by the use of the PRODUCT or consulting deliverable alone. THE FOREGOING STATES YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM.
5. LIMITED WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER. CITRIX warrants that for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of delivery of the License Keys to you, the PRODUCT will perform substantially in accordance with the PRODUCT’S documentation published by CITRIX and included with the PRODUCT.

This limited warranty does not cover any modification of the PRODUCT by you. CITRIX will provide MAINTENANCE technical support and consulting services in a professional and workmanlike manner, but CITRIX cannot guarantee that every question or problem raised by you will be resolved or resolved in a certain amount of time. Citrix does not warrant in any form the results or achievements of the PRODUCT, technical support, consulting services or related deliverables. With respect to technical support, CITRIX’ and its SUPPLIERS’ entire liability and your exclusive remedy under this warranty is re-performance of the services. With respect to consulting services, CITRIX’ and its SUPPLIERS’ entire liability and your exclusive remedy under this warranty is re-performance of the services or, if re-performance is not possible or conforming, refund of amounts paid for the non-conforming services. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND EXCEPT FOR THE ABOVE LIMITED WARRANTY, CITRIX AND ITS SUPPLIERS MAKE AND YOU RECEIVE NO WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE; AND CITRIX AND ITS SUPPLIERS SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCT, MAINTENANCE AND ANY OTHER SOFTWARE OR SERVICE DELIVERED HEREUNDER, ANY CONDITIONS OF QUALITY, AVAILABILITY, RELIABILITY, SECURITY, LACK OF VIRUSES, BUGS, OR ERRORS, AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, QUIET POSSESSION, MERCHANTABILITY, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
