same time as the Licensed Software on the Primary Computer and both the initial
copy and the secondary copy of the Licensed Software are only used by the unique
Primary User. Licensee may be required to contact hsbcad or Reseller in order to
make a secondary copy.
3.3 Back-up Copy. Licensee may make a reasonable number of back-up copies of the
Licensed Software. Such back-up copies may not be Used for any other than

Software cannot be accessed), unless and for so long as the primary copy is
inaccessible and inoperable.
3.4 Run-Time Distribution. Licensee may make copies of an End User Product and
the associated hsbcad Run-Time, and distribute those copies freely. However, the
hsbcad Run-Time may never be distributed or Used separately, meaning other than

hsbcad Run-Time, shall not be reverse compiled or disassembled.
3.5 Content. Unless stated otherwise in the “Read-Me” files associated with
Content, which may include specific rights and restrictions with respect to such
Content, Licensee may display, modify, reproduce and distribute any of the
Content within the framework of its authorized Use of the Licensed Software.
However, Licensee may never distribute, reproduce, communicate to the public or
otherwise commercialize any Content on a stand-alone basis (i.e., in
circumstances in which the Content constitutes the primary value of the product
or information being distributed). Content may not be used in the production,
distribution, communication or use of libellous, defamatory, fraudulent, lewd,
obscene or pornographic material or any material that infringes upon any third
party Intellectual Property Rights or in any other unlawful manner. Licensee may
not claim any Intellectual Property Rights in or with regard to Content or
derivative works thereof. Licensee agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend
hsbcad and Reseller from and against any loss, damage, claims or lawsuits,
including attorney’s fees that arise or result from any above-mentioned unlawful
or unauthorized use, reproduction, communication, distribution or
commercialization of Content.
3.6 Authorized Users. Licensee may permit the Licensed Software and other hsbcad
Materials to be Used only by Licensee’s Personnel (except as otherwise
designated in the applicable Order Confirmation), and any such Use will be
subject to any other requirements imposed by this Agreement and the applicable
license type and Permitted Number. Licensee will be responsible for compliance
with this Agreement by Licensee’s Personnel and any other persons who may have
access to or otherwise Use the hsbcad Materials through Licensee (whether or not
such Use is authorized by hsbcad or Reseller or within the scope of the
applicable license type and Permitted Number).
3.7 hsbcad Materials as a Single Product. The hsbcad Materials are licensed to

or assist any third party to engage in any of the Uses or activities prohibited
(or any Uses or activities inconsistent with the limitations described) in this
Agreement, in particular in Articles 3 and 5 of this Agreement (collectively,
“Unauthorized Use”). Any such Unauthorized Use shall constitute an infringement
of hsbcad’s (suppliers’) Intellectual Property Rights and a fundamental breach
of this Agreement. Licensee will notify hsbcad promptly of any Unauthorized Use
it may gain knowledge of.

3.9 hsbshare. hsbshare may automatically form part of the hsbcad Materials and
Services provided to Licensees who timely pay their annual maintenance fees to
hsbcad and this without additional payment required from Licensee up to a
storage of 50GB per hsbShare account. Such courtesy inclusion and this Material
and Service shall be strictly limited to such storage limit, be considered as a
trial version and subject to the present terms of agreement, especially Articles
9.1, 15.2 and 16. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that, upon use of hsbshare
beyond the aforementioned limit of 50GB, additional payments may be invoiced by
hsbcad for the same without the need for any prior notice or information in that
regard.

Article 4 : Ownership of Intellectual Property Rights
Licensee acknowledges and agrees that the Licensed Software and other hsbcad
Materials are licensed, not sold, and that rights to Use the same are acquired
only under the license from hsbcad. The Licensed Software and other hsbcad
Materials provided to Licensee by hsbcad or Reseller, as well as any and all
(authorized) copies made thereof by Licensee, are the intellectual property of
and are owned by hsbcad and its suppliers. Consequently, any and all
Intellectual Property Rights related to the Licensed Software and other hsbcad
Materials (including any trade names, trademarks and patents) are exclusively
owned by hsbcad and/or its suppliers. The structure, organization and code of
the Licensed Software are the valuable trade secrets and confidential
information of hsbcad and its suppliers, they may not be disclosed, distributed
or otherwise provided to any third parties and they may be Used only internally
for Licensee’s Internal Business Needs as authorized under this Agreement. The
Licensed Software and other hsbcad Materials are protected by law, including but
not limited to the software and copyright laws of various countries, among which
Titles 5 and 6 of Book X.I of the Belgian Code of Economic Law of 28 February
2013, as well as by international treaty provisions. Except as expressly stated
herein, this Agreement does not in any way grant Licensee any Intellectual
Property Rights in the Licensed Software or other hsbcad Materials, and all
rights not expressly granted are reserved by hsbcad and its suppliers.

Article 5 : Restrictions of Use
5.1 Notices. Licensee may not copy the Licensed Software, except as provided in
Article 3. Any permitted copy of the Licensed Software must contain the same
copyright and other proprietary notices that appear on or in the Licensed
Software.
5.2 No Modifications. Licensee may not modify, adapt or translate the Licensed
Software. Licensee may not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise
attempt to discover the source code of the Licensed Software, except to the
extent explicitly permitted under applicable law to decompile in order to
achieve interoperability with the Licensed Software.
5.3 No Unbundling. The Licensed Software may include various applications,
utilities and components, may support multiple platforms and languages and may
be provided to Licensee on multiple media or in multiple copies. Nonetheless,
the Licensed Software is designed and provided to Licensee as a single product
to be used as a single product on Computers as permitted by this Agreement.
Licensee is not required to use all component parts of the Licensed Software,
but Licensee may not unbundle the component parts of the Licensed Software for
Use on different Computers. Licensee may not unbundle or repackage the Licensed
Software for distribution, transfer or resale.
5.4 No Transfer. LICENSEE MAY NOT RENT, LEASE, SELL, SUBLICENSE, ASSIGN,
TRANSFER OR OTHERWISE COMMERCIALIZE (LICENSEE’S RIGHTS IN OR TO) THE LICENSED
SOFTWARE, NOR AUTHORIZE ANY PORTION OF THE LICENSED SOFTWARE TO BE COPIED ONTO
ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL OR LEGAL ENTITY’S COMPUTER EXCEPT AS MAY BE PERMITTED
EXPLICITLY IN THIS AGREEMENT. Licensee may, however, permanently transfer all of
Licensee’s rights to Use the Licensed Software to another individual or legal
entity (“Transferee”) provided that: (a) Licensee also transfers (i) this
Agreement, (ii) the serial number(s) and the Licensed Software affixed to media
provided by hsbcad or its Reseller and (iii) all other Materials bundled,
packaged or pre-installed with the Licensed Software, including any and all
copies, Upgrades, updates and prior versions to the Transferee; (b) Licensee
retains no Upgrades, updates or copies whatsoever, including backups and copies
stored on a Computer; and (c) the Transferee fully accepts the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and any other terms and conditions under which
Licensee purchased a valid license to the Licensed Software. NOTWITHSTANDING THE
FOREGOING, LICENSEE MAY NOT TRANSFER EDUCATION, PRE-RELEASE, TRIAL OR OTHER NOT
FOR RESALE COPIES OF THE LICENSED SOFTWARE. Prior to a transfer, hsbcad may
require that Licensee and the Transferee confirm in writing their compliance
with this Agreement, provide hsbcad with information about themselves and
register as end-users of the Licensed Software.
5.5 No Circumvention. Licensee may not (i) utilize any equipment, device,
Software, or other means to (or designed to) circumvent or remove any form of
technical protection used by hsbcad or its suppliers in connection with the
hsbcad Materials, or (ii) Use the hsbcad Materials with any product code,
authorization code, serial number, or other copy-protection device not supplied
by hsbcad directly or through a Reseller. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Licensee may not utilize any equipment, device, Software, or other
means to (or designed to) circumvent or remove the hsbcad or its suppliers’
license manager, key or any tool or technical protection measure provided or
made available by hsbcad or its suppliers for managing, monitoring or
controlling Use of hsbcad Materials. Licensee may not utilize any equipment,
device, Software or other means to (or designed to) circumvent or remove any
usage restrictions, or to enable a functionality disabled by hsbcad or its
suppliers. Licensee may not bypass or delete any functionality or technical
limitations of the hsbcad Materials that (or that are designed to) prevent or
inhibit any unauthorized copying or Use.
5.6 Exceptions to Prohibitions. The prohibitions and limitations contained in
this Agreement will not apply to the extent that the applicable law (including,
without limitation, laws implementing EC Directive 91/250 on the legal
protection of computer programs and laws of other jurisdictions relating to
similar subject matter) does not allow such prohibition or limitation to be
enforced. Moreover, this Agreement describes certain legal rights for Licensee.
Licensee may, however, also have other rights under the laws of the state or
country where the hsbcad Materials are acquired, and this Agreement does not
change Licensee’s rights under the mandatory laws of such state or country if
and to the extent the laws of such state or country do not permit this Agreement
to do so. Licensee will bear the burden of proof in demonstrating that
applicable law does not allow enforcement of any such prohibition or limitation
or does not permit this Agreement to change particular rights in such state or
country.
5.7 Use at own discretion and risk. hsbcad specifically disclaims any liability
for any actions, damages or claims resulting from Licensee’s Use of any Services
or hsbcad Materials. Licensee may Use the Services and hsbcad Materials at its
own discretion and risk, and Licensee is solely responsible for any damage to
its computer system or loss of data that results from such Use.

Article 6 : Updates
If the Licensed Software is an Upgrade or update to a previous version of hsbcad
Software, You must possess a valid license to such previous version in order to
Use such Upgrade or update. After You install such update or Upgrade, you may
continue to Use any such previous version in accordance with its agreement only
if (a) the Upgrade or update and all previous versions are installed on the same
Computer, (b) the previous versions or copies thereof are not transferred to
another party or device and (c) you acknowledge that any obligation hsbcad may
have to support or maintain the previous version(s) may be ended upon the (end
of the) availability of the Upgrade or update concerned. No other Use of the
previous version(s) than the one indicated above is permitted after installation
of an update or Upgrade. Upgrades and updates may be licensed to Licensee by
hsbcad under additional or different terms vis-à-vis this Agreement.

Article 7 : Services
hsbcad may provide, and Licensee may elect to receive or benefit from, certain
Services from time to time. Services shall be subject to this Agreement as well
as, as the case may be, to additional hsbcad service terms. Licensee agrees that
if it requests, accepts or makes Use of any Services, Licensee will be bound by
such service terms, as they may be modified from time to time (and such terms,
as so modified from time to time, are a part of and incorporated by reference
into this Agreement) and Licensee explicitly agrees to comply with such terms.
Licensee acknowledges that hsbcad may require a further acceptance of any such
terms as a condition to providing Services.

Article 8 : Warnings
8.1 Extent of hsbcad’s obligations, responsibility of Licensee for choice of
hsbCAD Materials and Output Files and limitations of hsbcad Materials

hsbcad shall provide any and all hsbcad Materials and Services as a professional
and diligent provider in accordance with the state of the art and the standards
applicable in the industry. hsbcad’s obligations with regard to the provision of
such hsbcad Materials and/or Services are means-driven obligations (“obligations
de moyens/middelenverbintenissen”). Licensee acknowledges and agrees that
Licensee has chosen any and all hsbcad Materials and Services to be licensed
and/or provided by hsbcad to Licensee freely, under Licensee’s own
responsibility and choice among the various available options, in view of the
technical qualities and specifications required by Licensee as well as according
to Licensee’s current and anticipated needs. Licensee has made such choice in
consideration of Licensee’s own requirements, albeit upon advice or suggestion
by hsbcad, as the case may be, but without any further intervention of hsbcad,
whom Licensee discharges from any and all responsibility or liability in this
respect, and with full knowledge of the advantages and limitations of all hsbcad
Materials and Services. Licensee indeed acknowledges that Licensee has taken
note of the technical specifications and operating procedures prior to ordering
any hsbcad Materials and/or Services, and Licensee acknowledges that the
technical and functional features of such hsbcad Materials and/or Services meet
Licensee’s current needs and those that Licensee can reasonably foresee to arise
in the future in that regard. hsbcad cannot be held liable for latent problems
or defects in hsbcad Materials or Services, nor for any direct or consequential
damages resulting therefrom, except for damages caused by hsbcad’s gross
negligence or fraud.

The hsbcad Materials are commercial professional tools intended to be used by
trained and specialized professionals only. Particularly in the case of
commercial professional use, the Licensed Software, Content and other hsbcad
Materials can never be considered to be a substitute for Licensee’s professional
judgment or independent testing, calculations, measurements and simulations. The
hsbcad Materials are intended only to assist Licensee with its design,
visualization, analysis, simulation, estimation, testing and/or other activities
and are not a substitute for Licensee’s own independent design, analysis,
simulation, calculation, estimation, measurement, testing, geometry efforts
and/or other activities, including those with respect to product stress,
stability, interoperability, interconnectivity, safety and utility. Due to the
large variety of potential applications for the hsbcad Materials, they have not
been tested in all situations under which they may be used. Licensee hereby
acknowledges and agrees that hsbcad will not be liable in any manner whatsoever
for any use made of hsbcad Materials by Licensee, nor for any Output File, End
User Product or other result obtained through any Use of the hsbcad Materials,
nor for any constructions, models, drawings, devices, objects or buildings
created, printed or otherwise brought to life with the help of or based upon any
hsbcad Materials or Output Files or End User Products. Persons using hsbcad
Materials are responsible for the supervision, (double-)checking, management,
verification and control of the hsbcad Materials and any Output Files or End
User Products before implementing them. This responsibility includes, without
being limited thereto, the determination of appropriate uses for the hsbcad
Materials and the selection of the same and other computer programs and
Materials to help achieve intended results. Persons using the hsbcad Materials
are also responsible for establishing the adequacy of independent procedures for
testing the reliability, accuracy, completeness and other characteristics of any
Output File or End User Product, including, without limitation, all items,
drawings, simulations and other Materials designed or created with the
assistance of the hsbcad Materials, especially as regards constructions,
buildings and other accuracy- and stability-sensitive objects and properties.
Licensee further acknowledges and agrees that the hsbcad Materials will form
part of Licensee’s global unique hardware and software environment to deliver
specific functionality, and that the hsbcad Materials may not achieve the
results Licensee desires or intended within Licensee’s design, analysis,
simulation, estimation, and/or testing constraints in that regard.
8.2 Storage. When the Services provide storage, We recommend that You continue
to back up your Output Files, content and other relevant data regularly. We may
create reasonable technical limits on your Output Files, content and/or data,
such as limits on file size, storage space, processing capacity, and other
technical limits. We may suspend the Services until you are within the storage
space limit associated with your account.
8.3 Connectivity and Online Services. Certain hsbcad Materials or Services may
facilitate, require or rely upon Licensee’s access to and Use of Materials,
Software and/or Services that are hosted on or offered via websites maintained
by hsbcad or a third party (“Online Services”). In some cases, such Online
Services may appear to be a feature or function within, or extension of, the
hsbcad Materials on Licensee’s Computer even though hosted on such websites.
Accessing such Online Services and use of any hsbcad Materials in connection
with them may cause Licensee’s Computer, without additional notice, to connect
automatically to the Internet (transitorily, intermittently or on a regular
basis) and to communicate with a hsbcad or third-party website, Online Service
or Software. Such connectivity and communication is governed by the terms
(including disclaimers and notices) found on such websites or otherwise
associated with the relevant Online Services. hsbcad does not control, endorse
or accept any responsibility for any such third-party websites or Online
Services. Any dealings between Licensee and a third party in connection with
such websites and/or Online Services, including delivery of and payment for
goods and services and any other terms, conditions, warranties or
representations associated with such dealings, are solely between Licensee and
such third party. hsbcad may at any time, for any reason, modify or discontinue
the availability of any website or Online Service. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY AGREED BY
HSBCAD OR ITS AFFILIATES OR A THIRD PARTY IN A SEPARATE AGREEMENT, YOUR USE OF
WEBSITES AND ONLINE SERVICES IS AT YOUR OWN RISK UNDER THE WARRANTY AND
LIABILITY LIMITATIONS OF SECTIONS 8, 9 AND 10.
8.4 Disabling Access. LICENSEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT INSTALLATION OF AND
ACCESS TO LICENSED SOFTWARE AND HSBCAD MATERIALS MAY BE DISABLED BY THE
ACTIVATION, SECURITY, AND TECHNICAL PROTECTION MECHANISMS IF LICENSEE TRIES TO
TRANSFER ALL OR A PART OF THE LICENSED SOFTWARE OR HSBCAD MATERIALS TO ANOTHER
COMPUTER, IF LICENSEE TAMPERS WITH THE TECHNICAL PROTECTION MECHANISMS OR
DATE-SETTING MECHANISMS ON A COMPUTER OR IN THE LICENSED SOFTWARE OR HSBCAD
MATERIALS, IF LICENSEE USES THE LICENSED SOFTWARE OR HSBCAD MATERIALS PAST AN
APPLICABLE SUBSCRIPTION OR LICENSING PERIOD OR FIXED TERM, OR IF LICENSEE
UNDERTAKES CERTAIN OTHER ACTIONS THAT AFFECT THE SECURITY MODE OR UNDER OTHER
CIRCUMSTANCES AND THAT, IN ANY SUCH EVENT, LICENSEE’S ACCESS TO LICENSEE’S WORK
PRODUCT, OUTPUT FILES, END USER PRODUCTS AND OTHER DATA MAY BE AFFECTED.
8.5 Taxes, third-party fees and collection. You must pay any applicable taxes,
and any applicable third-party fee (including, for example, telephone toll
charges, mobile carrier fees, ISP charges, data plan charges, credit card fees,
foreign exchange fees, etc.). We are not responsible for these fees. We may take
steps to collect any fees you owe us. You are responsible for all related
collection costs and expenses.

Article 9 : Limited Warranty
9.1 Except as may be otherwise provided for in this Agreement, hsbcad warrants,
to the natural or legal person that first purchases a license for the Licensed
Software for Use pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, that the Licensed
Software will provide the general features and functions described in the
Documentation for the ninety (90) day period following delivery of the Licensed
Software (“Warranty Period”) when Used on the recommended operating systems and
hardware configurations. Non-substantial variation of performance from the
Documentation does not establish any warranty right. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY DOES
NOT APPLY TO (MEANING THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR) PATCHES, PRE-RELEASE (BETA),
TRIAL, TRYOUT, STARTER, EVALUATION, PRODUCT SAMPLER OR NOT FOR RESALE (NFR)
VERSIONS OR COPIES OF ANY LICENSED SOFTWARE, NOR TO/FOR WEBSITES OR ONLINE
SERVICES. All warranty claims must be made, along with proper proof of purchase,
to hsbcad within the aforementioned ninety (90) day period. hsbcad’s entire
liability and Licensee’s exclusive remedy during the Warranty Period (“Limited
Warranty”) will be, with the exception of any statutory warranty or remedy that
cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory law, at hsbcad’s option, (i) to
attempt to correct or work around errors, if any, or (ii) to refund the license
fees, if any, paid by Licensee during the calendar year in which the warranty
claim was made, and terminate this Agreement or the license specific to such
Licensed Software. Any refund is conditioned upon the return to hsbcad or, as
the case may be, the deletion, during the Warranty Period, of all of the hsbcad
Materials received or Used. THE LIMITED WARRANTY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION GIVES
LICENSEE SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS. LICENSEE MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS UNDER LAW
WHICH MAY VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. HSBCAD DOES NOT SEEK TO LIMIT
LICENSEE’S WARRANTY RIGHTS TO ANY EXTENT NOT PERMITTED BY MANDATORY LAW.
9.2 To the extent that the Use of Licensed Software requires the Use of
Third-Party Software, Materials or Services, Licensee acknowledges that any such
Third-Party Software, Materials and Services are subject to – and Licensee shall
fully comply with – the relevant third party’s terms and conditions. Any implied
or express warranty with regard to such Third-Party Software or Services shall
be strictly limited to the warranties given by that third party to hsbcad
(back-to-back). In addition, Licensee will take sole responsibility for
obtaining and complying with any and all licenses that may be necessary to use
any Third-Party Software, Materials or Services. Licensee acknowledges and
agrees that hsbcad has no responsibility for, and makes no representations or
warranties regarding such Third-Party Software, Materials or Services or
Licensee’s use of the same.

IN ADDITION, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF hsbcad, ITS AFFILIATES, RESELLERS,

THESE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS OF LIABILITY MAY NOT BE VALID IN SOME
JURISDICTIONS. THEY SHALL NOT APPLY IN THE EVENT OF DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY
RESULTING FROM hsbcad’s GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR TO ANY LOSS OR DAMAGES DIRECTLY
ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM hsbcad’S WILFUL MISCONDUCT OR FRAUD (TORT OF
DECEIT). hsbcad IS ACTING ON BEHALF OF ITS AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, RESELLERS AND
SUPPLIERS FOR THE PURPOSES OF DISCLAIMING, EXCLUDING AND LIMITING OBLIGATIONS,

11.1 Term. Each license under this Agreement, with respect to each specific
Licensed Software covered by this Agreement, will become effective as of the
latest to occur of: (a) this Agreement becoming effective, (b) payment by
Licensee of the applicable fees, excluding licenses (such as evaluation
licenses) where no fees are required, OR (c) delivery of the specific Licensed
Software. Unless indicated otherwise in the Order Confirmation, the term of the
license will be indefinite. Each party may terminate this Agreement, Licensee’s
license as to Licensed Software and/or the provision of (Online) Services if the
other party is in breach of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within
ten (10) days after written notice in that regard. In addition, hsbcad may, as
an alternative to termination, suspend Licensee’s license as to the Licensed
Software or other hsbcad Materials or the provision of (Online) Services, other
hsbcad obligations or Licensee rights under this Agreement, if Licensee fails to
make a payment due or otherwise fails to comply with the provisions of this
Agreement or other terms relating to any such license, (Online) Services, or
other associated Materials. hsbcad may also terminate this Agreement if Licensee
becomes subject to bankruptcy proceedings, becomes insolvent or makes an
arrangement with Licensee’s creditors or if hsbcad elects to discontinue the
Licensed Software or Services in whole or in part (e.g. if it becomes
impractical for us to continue offering these in your region due to change of
law)). This Agreement will terminate automatically without further notice or
action by hsbcad if Licensee goes into liquidation. Licensee acknowledges and
agrees that hsbcad may assign, transfer and/or subcontract any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement. In any case, irrespective of any breach or
specific situation or not, and without having to give any reason therefor,
hsbcad shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, Licensee’s license as
to hsbcad Materials and/or the provision of (Online) Services upon 30 days’
written notice by registered letter or email with read receipt. The termination
will be effective on the 31st day following the date on which the registered
letter or email was sent.

expiration of this Agreement, any and all licenses granted hereunder will
terminate. Upon termination or expiration of one or more licenses granted to
Licensee, Licensee must cease all use of hsbcad Materials to which such licenses
apply and Uninstall all copies of such hsbcad Materials. At hsbcad’s first
request, Licensee shall destroy or return to hsbcad any and all such hsbcad
Materials. hsbcad reserves the right to require Licensee to show satisfactory
proof that all copies of the hsbcad Materials have been Uninstalled and, if so
requested by hsbcad, destroyed or returned to hsbcad.
11.3 Survival. Sections 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19
will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement or of a license.
However, any such survival will not imply or create any continued right to use
the Licensed Software or other hsbcad Materials after termination or expiration
of this Agreement.

Article 12 : Export Rules
You agree that the Licensed Software will not be shipped, transferred or
exported into any country or used in any manner prohibited by the United States

If You are a business, company, or organization, then we may, no more than once
every 12 months, upon seven 7 days’ prior notice to You, appoint our personnel

from us. Additionally, You will provide us with all records and information

hsbcad Software and Services is in conformity with your valid licenses from us

would result in the application of the laws of any country other than Belgium.
Any dispute concerning the validity, interpretation, enforcement, performance or
termination of this Agreement shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the Ghent courts, subject to the right of hsbcad to refer the dispute to any
other court having jurisdiction pursuant to the Belgian Judicial Code.
Article 19 : General provisions
19.1 Notices. Notices in connection with this Agreement by either party will be
in writing and will be sent by electronic mail, postal service, or a delivery

19.2 No Assignment, Insolvency. Except as otherwise explicitly provided in the
present Agreement, Licensee may not assign this Agreement or any rights

operation of law, or otherwise) without hsbcad’s prior written consent, which
may be withheld in hsbcad’s sole and absolute discretion, and any purported
assignment by Licensee in violation of this section will be null and void. In
the context of any bankruptcy or similar proceeding, this Agreement is and will

prior written consent, which may be withheld in hsbcad’s sole and absolute
discretion.

may enforce (including taking actions for breach of) this Agreement.
19.4 Severability. If and to the extent any provision of this Agreement is held
illegal, invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part under applicable law, such
provision or such portion thereof will be ineffective as to the jurisdiction in
which it is illegal, invalid or unenforceable to the extent of its illegality,
invalidity or unenforceability and will be deemed modified to the extent
necessary to conform to applicable law so as to give the maximum effect to the
intention of the parties. The illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of such
provision in that jurisdiction will not in any way affect the legality, validity
or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement, nor of such provision or
any other provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. The parties
shall mutually agree to replace the invalid provision(s), by means of an
amendment, by a provision that achieves the same economic purpose of the invalid
provision(s) as closely as possible.
19.5 No Waiver. No term or provision of this Agreement will be considered
waived, and no breach excused, unless such waiver is in writing signed on behalf
of the party against which the waiver is asserted. No waiver (whether express or
implied) will constitute consent to, waiver of, or excuse of any other,
different or subsequent breach.

in case of any inconsistencies between the English version and any translations.
19.7 Force Majeure. hsbcad shall not be liable for any non-compliance or late or
incomplete compliance with its obligations if such is caused by force majeure
and hsbcad shall be exempt from performing such obligations for the duration and
extent of the force majeure. By force majeure is meant the concept as it is
generally construed and recognized by Belgian case law and doctrine. In
addition, hsbcad will not be responsible or have any liability for any delay or
failure to perform to the extent due to unforeseen circumstances or causes
beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God;
earthquake; fire; flood; weather conditions; embargoes; strikes, lockouts or
other labor disturbances; civil unrest; protests; latent defects; failure,
unavailability or delay of suppliers, licensors, systems and/or services; riots;
terrorism or terrorist acts; war; failure or interruption of the Internet or
third party Internet connection(s), services or infrastructure; power failures;

in works carried out by Licensee or any person on behalf of Licensee for any
reason whatsoever .
19.8 U.S. Government Rights. All hsbcad Materials provided to any U.S.
Government department or service are provided with the same commercial license
rights and restrictions described herein.
19.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement – as the case may be, together with any
other contractual or other document duly emanating from and communicated by
hsbcad to Licensee – constitutes the entire agreement between the parties (and
merges and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreements, discussions,
communications, agreements, representations, warranties, advertising or
understandings) with respect to the subject matter hereof. The parties
acknowledge that, in entering into this Agreement, they are not relying on any
agreements, discussions, communications, agreements, representations,
warranties, advertising or understandings other than as expressly set forth in
this Agreement. Terms stipulated by Licensee in any communication by Licensee
which purport to vary this Agreement or impose such other terms will be void and
of no effect, unless agreed in a writing signed by an authorized representative
of hsbcad. Any other modifications or additions to this Agreement will also be
invalid unless agreed to in a writing signed by an authorized representative of
hsbcad. In general, hsbcad shall under no circumstances be bound by any document
– other than this Agreement or another document duly emanating from and
communicated by hsbcad to Licensee – that is not signed by one of its directors
or another person duly and explicitly mandated by such director(s) to do so.
19.10 Modification. We may modify, update, or discontinue the (Online) Services,
Licensed Software (including any of their portions or features) or other hsbcad
Materials or Services at any time without liability to You or anyone else.
However, we will make reasonable effort to notify You before we make the change.
We will also allow you a reasonable time to download your content. If we
discontinue a Service in its entirety, then we will provide you with a pro rata
refund for any unused fees for that Service that you may have prepaid.

Article 20 : Invoicing and payments
Licensee acknowledges and agrees that invoices issued or generated by hsbcad may
be based partially or entirely upon licensing or other reports drawn or
extracted from the ‘fingerprinting’ or other database or system used by hsbcad
to monitor licenses, grant access for Licensees and/or otherwise generate
overviews or collections of data about Licensees, active licenses, hsbcad
Materials and/or Services. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that it has access
to its account with such database or system, and will deactivate any licensing
options for which it has no use or desire to pay. If Licensee fails to
deactivate or otherwise opt out of such options or licenses, full payment for
the same shall be due.

Any and all amounts due in the framework of this Agreement shall be payable in
full in Euro, within 30 days of the date of invoice, and by transfer on the bank
account as last communicated by hsbcad. Any fees, costs or taxes associated with
such bank transfer shall be borne by Licensee. No fees, costs or taxes shall be
deductible from any amounts due to hsbcad. In the event of non-payment of any
amount by the due date thereof or other failure to comply with the provisions of
this Agreement or other terms governing Licensee’s relationship with hsbcad,
hsbcad may suspend or terminate, at its sole discretion, Licensee’s license(s),
rights of use, benefits and/or the provision of any (Online) Services, hsbcad
Materials, products and/or other hsbcad obligations or performances.

"

hsbcad is not only our partner, it's also the driver of our production process.
Because the software is fully automated, we don't have to put manual input in
the drawings, so there are less faults in the drawings and in the production
process. We can also fully focus on designing our drawings, and it saves us time
and money. Implementing hsbcad has changed the way we work.
