You may order trial programs, or Norcom Solutions Group may include additional programs with your order which you may use for trial, non-production purposes only. You may not use the trial programs to provide or attend third party training on the content and/or functionality of the programs. You have 30 days from the delivery date to evaluate these programs. If you decide to use any of these programs after the 30 day trial period, you must obtain a license for such programs from Norcom Solutions Group or an authorized distributor. If you decide not to obtain a license for any program after the 30 day trial period, you will cease using and will delete any such programs from your computer systems. Programs licensed for trial purposes are provided “as is” and Norcom Solutions Group does not provide technical support or offer any warranties of any sort for these programs, including but not limited to service quality, service availability and service levels.

7.Indemnification

If a third party makes a claim against either you or Norcom Solutions Group (“Recipient” which may refer to you or Norcom Solutions Group depending upon which party received the Material), that any information, design, specification, instruction, software, data, or material (“Material”) furnished by either you or Norcom Solutions Group (“Provider” which may refer to you or Norcom Solutions Group depending on which party provided the Material), and used by the Recipient infringes its intellectual property rights, the Provider, at its sole cost and expense, will defend the Recipient against the claim and indemnify the Recipient from the damages, liabilities, costs and expenses awarded by the court to the third party claiming infringement or the settlement agreed to by the Provider, if the Recipient does the following:

notifies the Provider promptly in writing, not later than 30 days after the Recipient receives notice of the claim (or sooner if required by applicable law);
gives the Provider sole control of the defense and any settlement negotiations; and
gives the Provider the information, authority, and assistance the Provider needs to defend against or settle the claim.

If the Provider believes or it is determined that any of the Material may have violated a third party’s intellectual property rights, the Provider may choose to either modify the Material to be non-infringing (while substantially preserving its utility or functionality) or obtain a license to allow for continued use, or if these alternatives are not commercially reasonable, the Provider may end the license for, and require return of, the applicable Material and refund any fees the Recipient may have paid for it and any unused, prepaid technical support fees you have paid for the license. If you are the Provider and such return materially affects Norcom Solutions Group’s ability to meet its obligations under the relevant order, then Norcom Solutions Group may, at its option and upon 30 days prior written notice, terminate the order. The Provider will not indemnify the Recipient if the Recipient alters the Material or uses it outside the scope of use identified in the Provider’s user documentation or if the Recipient uses a version of the Materials which has been superseded, if the infringement claim could have been avoided by using an unaltered current version of the Material which was provided to the Recipient. The Provider will not indemnify the Recipient to the extent that an infringement claim is based upon any information, design, specification, instruction, software, data, or material not furnished by the Provider. Norcom Solutions Group will not indemnify you to the extent that an infringement claim is based upon the combination of any Material with any products or services not provided by Norcom Solutions Group. Norcom Solutions Group will not indemnify you for infringement caused by your actions against any third party if the Norcom Solutions Group's program(s) as delivered to you and used in accordance with the terms of this agreement would not otherwise infringe any third party intellectual property rights. This section provides the parties’ exclusive remedy for any infringement claims or damages.

8.Technical Support

For purposes of the agreement, technical support consists of annual technical support services you may have ordered for the programs. If ordered, annual technical support (including first year and all subsequent years) is provided under Norcom Solutions Group’s technical support policies in effect at the time the services are provided. The technical support policies, incorporated in this agreement, are subject to change at Norcom Solutions Group’s discretion; however, Norcom Solutions Group will not materially reduce the level of services provided for supported programs during the period for which fees for technical support have been paid. You should review the policies prior to entering into the agreement for the applicable services.

Technical support is effective upon the effective date of the agreement unless otherwise stated in your order. If your order was placed through the Norcom Solutions Group Store, the effective date is the date your order was accepted by Norcom Solutions Group.
