Terms of Service
This Licence and Services Agreement (“Agreement”) applies to any Mambo software product (“Product”) you wish to install and use and any related Mambo service that you order. The Agreement is between Mambo Solutions Limited, a company registered in England (no.09162219), whose registered office is Crown House, 27 Old Gloucester Street, London, WC1N 3AX, United Kingdom (“Mambo”), and the purchaser of Mambo services and/or Products as identified in the applicable Order Form or Partner Agreement (each as defined below) (“you”) . These terms do not apply to any open source software that is licensed by Mambo.
By installing, running and using the Product and/or using a Service (as defined in section 3.1), you confirm that you accept and agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as well as our Privacy Policy (available here). If you do not agree to all of the terms of this Agreement, you may not install, run and/or use any Product or Service.
The effective date of this Agreement is the earlier of the date on which you accept this Agreement or the date on which you install the Product(s) or use a Service (“Effective Date”).
An individual acting on behalf of an entity represents that he or she has the authority to agree to the terms of this Agreement on behalf of that entity.
1. Licence to use the Product
1.1 Scope of licence
Subject to the terms of thisAgreement, Mambo grants you a non exclusive, royalty- free, non transferable, limited licence, without the right to grant sub-licences, during the Subscription Period (as defined in section 1.4) or the term of the Order Form (as set out in section 9.2), as applicable, to use the applicable Products for your own personal, non- commercial use or internal business purposes (as applicable). The Products which you are licensed to use under the scope of this Agreement are the specific Products set out in either: (a) the order form you submit to, and which is accepted by, Mambo (“Order Form”); or (b) the applicable Partner Agreement (as defined in section 1.4). The licence in this section 1.1 is limited to the maximum number of CPUs specified in the Order Form or Partner Agreement (as applicable). In this Agreement, “CPU” is defined as: (a) a single central processing unit with up to four cores on which the Software Product may be installed; or (b) in a virtualised environment, an allocation of up to four virtual cores to a given virtual machine instance (so, for example, if a virtual machine has 10 virtual cores, it will be treated as having three CPUs (i.e. two with four cores and one with two cores)).
1.2 Restrictions
You may not: (a) use any Product for or on behalf of anyone else (which includes operating any form of facility on behalf of anyone else or operating a software bureau service); (b) license, sub-license, sell, re-sell, transfer, assign, distribute or otherwise commercially exploit or make available to any third party any Product; (c) copy or create derivative works from any Product or any part of it, including to produce a similar product; (d) remove or alter any copyright, trade mark or other proprietary notice in or on the Product; or (e) modify, disassemble, decompile or reverse engineer any Product, except to the extent specifically authorised under applicable law notwithstanding contractual prohibition and provided that you first request Mambo to make available to you interface information needed to achieve interoperability between an independent program and the Product. Such request must be submitted to Mambo in writing and such information, if provided by Mambo, will be: (i) used by you solely for the purpose of achieving the required interface interoperability; and (ii) treated by you as Mambo’s Confidential Information (as defined in section 10 below).
1.3 Breaches
Mambo will be entitled to treat any breach by you of sections 1.1 and/or 1.2 as a material breach of this Agreement.
1.4 Partners
Mambo has entered into agreements with other organisations (“Partners”) to promote, market, distribute and support certain Mambo products. If you purchase Products from a Partner, you will be entering into a contract with the Partner for the purchase of the Products and which may include the provision of support with respect to the Products (“Partner Agreement”) for an agreed term (“Subscription Period”), but your use of the Products is subject to the terms set out in this Agreement and you are only permitted to use the Products in accordance with this Agreement. Mambo is not responsible for: (a) the acts or omissions of its Partners; or (b) any obligations any Partner has to you.
2. Reporting
2.1 Additional CPUs
You will notify Mambo (or if you have entered into a Partner Agreement, the Partner) promptly in writing if the actual number of CPUs in use exceeds the number of CPUs licensed under this Agreement, as set out in the applicable Order Form or Partner Agreement (“Additional CPUs”). Your notice must include the number of excess CPUs and the date(s) on which the additional CPUs were first used. Without limiting Mambo’s rights under section 9, your licence to use the Product(s) under this Agreement will only include the additional CPUs if and when you pay the applicable additional charges to Mambo or the Partner (as applicable).
2.2 Records
You will at all times maintain accurate records necessary to verify the number of CPUs that you use in respect of the Products. You will provide copies of such records to Mambo within seven days of written request.
3. Supply of Services
3.1 Services
Mambo will provide any services listed in an Order Form in accordance with the applicable service description set out in Annex A of this Agreement (“Services”).
3.2 Changes to Services
Mambo may: (a) make improvements and/or minor changes to the Services from time to time in its discretion; and (b) suspend the Services in order to repair, maintain or improve the Services, provided that Mambo will, where reasonably practicable, give you as much advance notice as reasonably possible of an activity in this section 3.2, and will use all reasonable efforts to minimise any detrimental effect of such activities on the Services.
3.3 Your obligations
You will cooperate with and provide all reasonable assistance and information to Mambo to enable Mambo to provide the Services under this Agreement.
3.4 On-premises support
If Mambo personnel are required to work on your premises in order to provide Services: (a) you will provide a reasonably safe and secure working environment for Mambo personnel; and (b) Mambo will comply with all reasonable health and safety and security policies that you notify to Mambo in writing.
4. Ownership
You acknowledge and agree that Mambo or its third party licensors own all rights, title and interest in and to the Services, the Products and all modifications, enhancements and derivative works Mambo may develop to or from the Products and any and all intellectual property rights in all of the foregoing. You agree not to use any of Mambo’s trade marks or other business names included in the Product or Services for any purpose. You acknowledge that, except as expressly set out in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement will give you rights in respect of any intellectual property rights owned by Mambo or its licensors. All intellectual property rights and other rights of Mambo and its licensors which are not expressly granted to you by this Agreement are reserved.
5. Warranty and disclaimers
5.1 Limited warranties
Mambo warrants that: (a) the Product will, under normal operating conditions, operate substantially in accordance with Mambo’s published specification for the Product for a period of 90 days following installation of the Product; and (b) it will perform any Services in a professional manner and using reasonable skill and care.
5.2 Remedies
If Mambo breaches a warranty in section 5.1, and if such breach does not result from you having installed or used the Product in an unauthorised manner, you must tell Mambo as soon as possible and provide sufficient details of the breach of warranty for Mambo to be able to re-create such problem. You must give Mambo a reasonable time to fix the problem and (if necessary) to supply you with a corrected version of the Product (or a practicable way to work-around the problem) or to re-perform the Services, as applicable. This will be done without any additional charge to you. If Mambo is able to do this within a reasonable time, Mambo will have no other obligations or liability in relation to that breach. If Mambo is unable to do this within a reasonable time or Mambo does not think that it is a sensible way to deal with the problem, then Mambo may if it wishes elect to: (a) take back the Product; and/or (b) refund to you the money which you have paid to Mambo under this agreement in relation to that Product and/or Service (as applicable). Subject to section 6.1, the provisions in this section 5.2 are your sole remedy for breach of the warranty in section 5.1. Sections 5.1 and 5.2 will not apply if you have purchased a Product and/or Service from a Partner under a Partner Agreement, in which case the terms of the Partner Agreement will apply with respect to the warranties and remedies given with respect to the Product and/or Service.
5.3 Minor defects
Minor errors or interruptions in the operation of the Products or Services that do not have any materially adverse effect on their operation in accordance with this Agreement shall not breach clause 5.1 provided that Mambo corrects such errors or interruptions within a reasonable time of the errors or interruptions arising.
5.4 Disclaimers
Mambo does not represent or warrant that: (a) the use of any Product or Service will be secure, timely, uninterrupted or error-free or compatible in combination with any other hardware, software, system or data; (b) the Product(s) or Services will meet your expectations; (c) the Product(s) or Services will be error- free; or that (d) any Product is free of viruses or other harmful components. You acknowledge that the Products and Services have not been developed to meet your individual requirements and that it is therefore your responsibility to ensure that the facilities and functions of the Products and Services meet your requirements. Except as expressly set out in this Agreement, no implied conditions, warranties or other terms, including any implied terms relating to satisfactory quality or fitness for any purpose, will apply to the Products or Services and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, are excluded by Mambo.
5.5 Exclusions
Mambo will not be liable for breach of any warranties or other terms in this Agreement to the extent that the breach arises from: (a) use of the Services or Products other than in accordance with normal operating procedures contained in Mambo’s published documentation or as notified to you by Mambo; (b) any alterations to the Services or Products made by anyone other than Mambo or someone authorised by Mambo; or (c) any problem with the computer on which the Services or Products are accessed, any equipment connected to that computer or any software which is installed on that computer.
6. Mambo’s liability
6.1 Nothing in this Agreement will limit or exclude Mambo’s liability to you: (a) for death or personal injury caused by Mambo’s negligence; (b) for fraudulent misrepresentation; (c) under Part I of the Consumer Protection Act 1987; (d) for breach of any obligations implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 or section 2 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982; or (e) for any other liability that may not, under applicable law, be limited or excluded.
6.2 Subject to section 6.1: (a) if you are a business, Mambo will not be liable to you (whether such liability arises due to breach of contract, negligence or any other reason) for any: (i) loss of profits; (ii) loss of revenue; (iii) loss of business or contracts; (iv) loss of or damage to goodwill; (in each case whether direct or indirect); or (v) indirect or consequential losses; (b) if you are a Mambo Licence and Services Agreement v1.0 3 consumer, Mambo will not be liable to you for any business losses and any liability we do have for losses you suffer in respect of any Product, Service or Order Form will be limited to losses that were reasonably foreseeable.
6.3 Subject to sections 6.1 and 6.2, Mambo’s maximum aggregate liability to you (whether such liability arises due to breach of contract, negligence or any other reason) will be limited to a sum equal to the total Charges (as defined in section 8.1) payable by you under this Agreement in the 12 months preceding the most recent event or the last in a series of connected events.
7. IPR indemnity
7.1 Mambo will indemnify you against any loss or damage you suffer or incur as a result of any claim by a third party that your use of the Products and/or Services as permitted by this Agreement infringes the intellectual property rights of any third party (“IPR Claim”). In order for this indemnity to apply: (a) you must tell Mambo as soon as you become aware of a claim and give Mambo as much information as you can in relation to it; (b) you must not make any admissions in relation to the claim without obtaining Mambo’s permission first; and (c) if Mambo asks you to do so, you must let Mambo take over dealing with the claim on your behalf. If you do not do all of these things, then Mambo will not have to indemnify you in respect of the IPR Claim.
7.2 If an IPR Claim is made or is likely to be made, Mambo may, at its own expense and at its option either: (a) procure the right for you to continue using the affected Service(s) or Product(s) (as applicable); (b) modify or replace the affected Service(s) or Product(s) (as applicable) so as to avoid the alleged infringement, in either case without a materially adverse effect on the relevant Service(s) or Product(s).
7.3 The indemnity in section 7.1 will not apply to any IPR Claim: (a) arising in respect of any unauthorised use of the Products or Services; (b) that arises in relation to any changes to the Products which have not been made by Mambo or any combination or use of the Products with anything else where that combination or use has not been approved by Mambo; or (c) any intellectual property rights subsisting outside the area of permitted use under this Agreement.
