The Terms apply as noted herein to the Company’s grant of a license (“License”) to software, control products, service tools, and related documentation and websites (the “Material”) and to Company’s provision of services through a web-based application hosted by Company, including, without limitation, TraneConnect™ remote access, Active Monitoring, Tracer™ Ensemble building management system, Tracer™ Synchrony system controller, Building Performance, and Energy Performance (the “Hosted Services”). Whether Customer purchased a License, Hosted Services, or both is set forth in the Proposal. 2. Structure. These Terms are divided into three sections: (i) License Provisions, which are solely applicable to a License; (ii) Hosted Services Provisions, which are solely applicable to Hosted Services; and (iii) General Provisions, which are applicable regardless of whether Customer purchased a License, Hosted Services, or both. 3. Definitions. “Concurrent” means simultaneous use of The Material by more than one User on different workstations or other interface devices. “Control License” is the License associated with a building automation system control product, such as a Tracer™ SC system controller. “Control License Term” is the period of time the Control License is in effect, beginning with the License Effective Date and terminating upon written request by Customer, unless earlier terminated by Company as provided herein. “Customer” means, for purposes of these Terms, the party transacting business with Company and such party’s User(s), including Named Users. “License Effective Date” is the date the Terms are accepted, either in writing, via a digital click-through, browse wrap, or use of the Material and the License is thus in effect for the term specified herein. In all cases, the term is subject to Company’s right to terminate the License pursuant to these Terms and the terms of the Agreement. "Malicious Code" means any virus, worm, time bomb, Trojan horse or other code, file, script, agent, software program or device that may prevent, impair, or otherwise adversely affect the operation of any computer software, hardware or network, any telecommunications service, equipment or network or any other service or device; prevent, impair or otherwise adversely affect access to or the operation of any program or data, including the reliability of any program or data; or adversely affect the User experience. “Named Users” means Users identified by Customer as the primary contact(s) for Customer. “Platform” means the platform used by Company to provide the Hosted Services, including the application and database software for the Hosted Services, and the system and server software used to provide the Hosted Services. “Seat” means access through a user interface device that is enabled to allow use of the Material by a maximum of one user at any given time. “Service License” is the License associated with a service tool, including, without limitation, Rover™ service tool, Tracer™ TU service tool, BACnet Setup Tool, KestrelView™ service software, and TechView™ service software. “Service License Term” is the term of the Service License beginning with the License Effective Date and continuing for the period that is specified at and included in the purchase, until earlier terminated as provided herein. “Subscription” means Company’s grant to Customer of a nonexclusive, non-assignable, royalty free, worldwide limited right to access and use the Hosted Services for Customer’s internal business operations subject to the terms and conditions of the Terms and the Agreement. “Support License” is the License associated with a product for which Company provides Customer Direct Service (“C.D.S.”) support. “Support License Term” is a period of one year from the License Effective Date, unless Customer pays the C.D.S. annual maintenance and support fee for the following year or unless the Support License is earlier terminated by Company as provided herein.
