Camunda License
VAR shall ensure that each agreement for any product which includes the
Software as part of an Integrated Product contains, at a minimum, substantially
the following terms, in each case allowing reasonable modifications to
keep consistent terminology and without materially changing the
associated meaning.
1. Definitions:
Commercial Components means the software licensed under a proprietary
license (and not under a Public Software License) and licensed to VAR
under this Agreement and the applicable Order Form. Community Components
means the software licensed under
(i) the Apache 2.0 license, a copy of which may be found
at: https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 and
(ii) the bpmn.io license, a copy of which may be found at:
https://bpmn.io/license/.
Whether a component is published under the Apache 2.0 license or the
bpmn.io license and hence belongs to the Community Components is noted in
the license header of a source code file or LICENSE file in the root directory
of the software source code repository. Documentation means guides,
references and related Software documentation available at docs.camunda.org.
Integrated Product means the product of VAR which includes the Software
delivered to VAR, which VAR integrates using the interfaces (API) existing
in the Software and explicitly described in the Documentation which
applies for the respective version of the Software. The Integrated
Product shall be promoted, offered and/or distributed only as a single
product and only for a single combined price, here the Software is
capable of being used only with the Integrated Product, and where
the entire combination product has a single installation routine.
Software means the Commercial Components and the Community Components
of the Camunda BPM platform, including all new Versions thereof.
2. Use rights
Camunda grants the Customer the right to use the Commercial Components
of the Software exclusively as part of an Integrated Product developed
by VAR. Customer is not permitted to:
(i) reverse engineer, decompile, decrypt or otherwise derive the
source code to the portions of the Commercial Components,
except as permitted by law;
(ii) modify or copy any part of the Commercial Components;
(iii) use the Commercial Components for any purpose other than
as specifically authorised herein;
(iv) transfer, sell, hire out, lease, distribute, sublicense or
lend the Commercial Components as such or as part of an
Integrated Product to any Third Party;
(v) circumvent any restrictions on use of the Commercial Components,
including those which are imposed or preserved by a license key;
(vi) use the Commercial Components other than in accordance with
any applicable laws and regulations (including but not limited
to any privacy laws, and laws and regulations concerning intellectual
property, consumer and child protection, obscenity or defamation);
(vii) use the Commercial Components in order to create a product or
service that competes with Camunda´s general offering in the market
or provide the Commercial Components to an Affiliate or a Third Party
in order to do so, or (ix) remove or alter copyright notices, serial
numbers or other program identification features, patent notices,
trademarks, logos, trade secrets and suchlike, unless the Parties
have agreed on exceptions to this prohibition. The Software
contains open source libraries, utilities or other open source
software components which have been created by Third Parties and
are published under a Public Software License (“Third Party OSS”).
The right to grant rights of use in such Third Party OSS is not
held by Camunda, but by the Third Parties. The right to use such
Third Party OSS is determined by the applicable Public Software
License, not this Agreement (which terms shall not restrict the
license rights granted to Customer hereunder, but may contain
additional rights). The Third Party OSS are listed in the
Documentation together with the respective copyright notice
and license text.
3. Disclaimer of Warranties
CAMUNDA MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE
OR THE INTEGRATED PRODUCT, DOCUMENTATION OR SUPPORT PROVIDED UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER EXPRESS AND ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND
NON-INFRINGEMENT.
CAMUNDA DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE OR THE INTEGRATED PRODUCT,
DOCUMENTATION OR SUPPORT PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL OPERATE WITHOUT
INTERRUPTION OR BE ERROR FREE OR THAT THE SOFTWARE OR THE INTEGRATED PRODUCT,
DOCUMENTATION OR SUPPORT WILL SUCCEED IN RESOLVING ANY PROBLEM.
4. Limitations of Liability
DESPITE ANYTHING ELSE IN THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE:
(A) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL CAMUNDA HAVE ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT
LIABIILTY TO VAR HEREUNDER;
(B) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL CAMUNDA BE LIABLE TO ANY PARTY FOR
ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE
DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR COSTS OF
PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES (REGARDLESS OF WHETHER
SUCH DAMAGES ARISE OUT OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER LEGAL
THEORIES OR OTHERWISE) ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT; AND
(C) IN NO EVENT SHALL CAMUNDA BE LIABLE TO ANY PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT
FOR AN AMOUNT THAT EXCEEDS 10.000 EUR.
5. Export
The Software may be subject to export laws and regulations of the United
States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, the Federal Republic of
Germany and other jurisdictions. End- VAR shall not transfer, export
or re-export, directly or indirectly, the Software to any Prohibited Entity,
and Customer affirms that it is not a Prohibited Entity or acting on behalf
of any Prohibited Entity. A Prohibited Entity includes any entity
restricted from receiving the Software under U.S., European Union, United
Kingdom or German laws and regulations.
6. Miscellaneous
Camunda is an intended third party beneficiary of the Minimum Terms.
The Minimum Terms may be modified, replaced or rescinded only in writing,
and signed by a duly authorized representative of each party. No failure or
delay in exercising any right hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof,
nor will any partial exercise of any right or power hereunder preclude
further exercise. If any provision of the Minimum Terms shall be adjudged
by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid,
that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent
necessary so that the Minimum Terms shall otherwise remain in full
force and effect and enforceable. The Minimum Terms shall be deemed
to have been made in and shall be construed pursuant to the laws of
the State of Delaware and the United States without regard to the conflict
of law provisions thereof. The sole venue for all disputes relating to
the Minimum Terms shall be in New Castle County, Delaware. The rights
and obligations of the parties under the Minimum Terms shall not be
governed by the 1980 U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International
Sale of Goods. If VAR’s Customer is a government entity, then the
following language shall also be included: Government Rights.
The Software and Documentation are “commercial items”, as defined in
48 C.F.R. §2.101, consisting of “commercial computer software” and
“commercial computer software documentation,” as such terms are used in
48 C.F.R. §12.212 or 48 C.F.R. §227.2702-4, as applicable. Consistent
with 48 C.F.R. §12.212 or 48 C.F.R. §§227.2702-1 through 227.7202-4,
as applicable, the commercial computer software and commercial computer
software documentation are being licensed to U.S. government end users
(a) only as commercial items and
(b) with only those rights that are granted to all other end users
pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement
and any applicable license agreement.
