VERSION 1.2 01-JUL-2025
In consideration of the fees stated in the Order Form (and conditional upon continued receipt of those fees), Ensemble shall provide Customer with access to and a non-exclusive licence to use the Solution detailed in the Order Form in accordance with the licence terms contained in this Agreement.
(a) the recipient already knew;
(b) becomes public through no fault of the recipient;
(c) the recipient independently developed; or
(d) that was lawfully given to the recipient by a third party.
(i) trade secrets;
(ii) product prototypes, methodologies and other technical and design information; and
(iii) business information including plans, customers and products.
a. Ensemble shall invoice Customer and Customer shall pay Ensemble the Subscription Fees in accordance with the terms of the Order Forms (the “Subscription Fees”). Unless otherwise agreed in the Order Form, Subscription Fees are paid annually in advance by direct debit.
b. If at any time Customer ceases to pay the Subscription Fees, Ensemble shall in its discretion either:
(i) suspend Customer’s access to the Solution until payment of the Subscription Fees are made up to date; or
(ii) give Customer thirty days’ written notice (email shall suffice) of termination of the Agreement.
c. At the end of each 12-month period from the Go Live Date (as defined in the Order Form), Ensemble shall determine the average number of Units used by Customer over that period. This average shall be applied retrospectively to adjust the fees owed for the completed period and shall also set the basis for fees payable in the following 12-month period. If the average number of Units used exceeds the number of Units originally purchased for that period, Customer shall owe the difference in fees, calculated in accordance with Ensemble’s standard published pricing, and such amount shall be added to the invoice payable in accordance with the applicable Order Form.
d. Ensemble may review and increase the standard price per Unit at the end of the Minimum Term and at the end of each subsequent 12-month renewal period. Any price increase shall be subject to a minimum of sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the Customer and will take effect from the start of the applicable renewal period. Any such increase shall not exceed the greater of:
(i) five percent (5%) of the fees payable in the immediately preceding twelve (12) months period, or
(ii) the percentage increase in the UK Consumer Price Index (CPI) over the preceding twelve (12) months.
a. This Agreement shall commence on the Order Form Effective Date and shall continue for the period of the Minimum Subscription Period and, if renewed in accordance with this clause 4, for the applicable renewal period, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms.
b. Unless at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice is given by the Customer to Ensemble that this Agreement shall expire at the end of the Minimum Subscription Period or any renewal period, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive twelve (12) month periods, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms.
a. The Solution (as defined in this Agreement), including all underlying software, models, configurations, and all Intellectual Property Rights therein, is and shall remain the sole property of Ensemble. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Ensemble grants Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, personal licence, for the duration of this Agreement, to access and use the Solution for the number of Users and business processes set out in the applicable Order Form.
b. The Solution enables Customer to upload and/or link to Customer-created content, including business data, workflow information, documentation, and other materials. All such Customer content (and all Intellectual Property Rights therein) remains the property of the Customer. Customer grants Ensemble a non-exclusive, limited licence to use this content solely for the purpose of delivering the Solution and performing its obligations under this Agreement.
c. Any materials provided by Ensemble within the Solution, including without limitation all templates, process maps, UI wireframes, job stories and all Intellectual Property Rights therein, are owned by Ensemble. Ensemble grants Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use such materials for its internal business purposes only for duration of the Minimum Term.
