Odoo Enterprise Subscription Agreement

4.1 Bug Fixing Service

For the duration of this Agreement, Odoo SA commits to making all reasonable efforts to remedy any Bug of the Software submitted by the Customer through the appropriate channel (typically, Odoo SA's service desk email address or website form), and to start handling such Customer submissions within 2 business days.

The Customer understands that Bugs caused by a modification or extension that is not part of the official Software will not be covered by this service.

As soon as the Bug is fixed an appropriate remedy will be communicated to the Customer. If the bug has been addressed in a more recent revision of the Covered Version of the Software used by the Customer, the Customer agrees to update its systems to that revision in order to obtain the correction. The Customer will not be asked to upgrade to a more recent Covered Version of the Software as a remedy to a Bug.

When a Bug is fixed in any Covered Version, Odoo SA commits to fixing the Bug in all more recent Covered Versions of the Software.

Both parties acknowledge that as specified in the license of the Software and in the :ref:`liability` section of this Agreement, Odoo SA cannot be held liable for Bugs in the Software.

4.2 Security Advisories Service

For the duration of this Agreement, Odoo SA commits to sending a "Security Advisory" to the Customer for any security Bug that are discovered in the Covered Versions of the Software, at least 2 weeks before making the Security Advisory public, unless the Bug has already been disclosed publicly by a third party. Security Advisories include a complete description of the Bug, its cause, its possible impacts on the Customer's systems, and the corresponding remedy for each Covered Version.

The Customer understands that the Bug and the information in the Security Advisory must be treated as Confidential Information as described in :ref:`confidentiality` during the embargo period prior to the public disclosure.

4.3 Upgrade Services

5.1 Standard charges

The standard charges for the Odoo Enterprise subscription, the Bug Fixing Service, Security Advisories Service and the Upgrade Service are based on the number of Users, the number of installed Apps, the Software version used by the Customer, and specified in writing at the signature of the Agreement.

When during the Term, the Customer has more Users or more installed Apps than specified at the time of signature of this Agreement, the Customer agrees to pay an extra fee equivalent to the applicable list price (at the beginning of the Term) for the additional Users or Apps, for the remainder of the Term.

If at the time of the signature of this Agreement, the Customer uses a Covered Version that is not the most recent one, the standard charges may be increased by 50% for the duration of the first Term, at the sole discretion of Odoo SA, to cover the extra maintenance costs.

5.2 Renewal charges

Upon renewal as covered in section :ref:`term`, if the per-User charges applied during the previous Term are lower than the most current applicable per-User list price, the per-User charges will increase by up to 7%, unless Odoo SA provides written notice of a new price to the Customer at least 60 days prior to the end of the Term.

5.3 Charges for Upgrade Services of third-party modules

The additional charge for the Upgrade Service for third-party modules is EUR (€) 1000.00 (one thousand euros) per 1000 Lines of Code in the third-party modules, rounded up to the next thousand lines. Lines of Code include all text lines in the source code of those modules, regardless of the programming language (Python, Javascript, etc.) or data format (XML, CSV, etc.), excluding blank lines and comment lines.

Odoo SA reserves the right to reject an upgrade request for third-party modules under the above conditions if the quality of the source code of those modules is too low, or if these modules constitute an interface with third-party software or systems. The upgrade of such modules will subject to a separate offer, outside of this Agreement.

5.4 Taxes

All fees and charges are exclusive of all applicable federal, provincial, state, local or other governmental taxes, fees or charges (collectively, "Taxes"). The Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with purchases made by the Customer under this Agreement, except when Odoo SA is legally obliged to pay or collect Taxes for which the Customer is responsible.

6.1 Customer Obligations

The Customer agrees to:

• pay Odoo SA any applicable charges for the Services of the present Agreement, in accordance with the payment conditions specified in the corresponding invoice ;
• immediately notify Odoo SA when their actual number of Users or installed Apps exceeds the numbers specified at the signature of the Agreement, and in this event, pay the applicable additional fee as described in section :ref:`charges_standard`;

In case of any breach of the conditions of this section that leads to the termination of said employee toward that end, the breaching party agrees to pay to the other party an amount of EUR (€) 30 000.00 (thirty thousand euros).

6.3 Publicity

Except where notified otherwise in writing, each party grants the other a non-transferable, non-exclusive, royalty free, worldwide license to reproduce and display the other party’s name, logos and trademarks, solely for the purpose of referring to the other party as a customer or supplier, on websites, press releases and other marketing materials.

6.4 Confidentiality

Definition of "Confidential Information":

All information disclosed by a party (the "Disclosing Party") to the other party (the "Receiving Party"), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. In particular any information related to the business, affairs, products, developments, trade secrets, know-how, personnel, customers and suppliers of either party should be regarded as confidential.

For all Confidential Information received during the Term of this Agreement, the Receiving Party will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own similar Confidential Information, but not less than reasonable care.

The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure, to the extent permitted by law.

6.5 Termination

In the event that either Party fails to fulfill any of its obligations arising herein, and if such breach has not been remedied within 30 calendar days from the written notice of such breach, this Agreement may be terminated immediately by the non-breaching Party.

Further, Odoo SA may terminate the Agreement immediately in the event the Customer fails to pay the applicable fees for the Services within the due date specified on the corresponding invoice.
