1.3. Licensee's Use. LICENSEE shall be exclusively responsible for the supervision, management and control of its use of the Licensed Program.  LICENSEE is solely responsible for LICENSEE’s selection of the Licensed Program to achieve LICENSEE’s desired results, for its installation, management, operation, use, maintenance and upgrading, and for the results obtained from using the Licensed Program.

1.4. License Delivery. Upon receipt of full payment, STREAMSIM will issue a license to the LICENSEE for the duration of the Maintenance Term.  STREAMSIM may issue temporary duration licenses until full payment is received.

1.5. Confidentiality.

1.5.1. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, "Confidential Information" shall mean technical information of any nature including, but not limited to, the following: (a) geological and geophysical data; (b) production and injection data; (c) well data; (d) fluid properties; (e) reservoir models; (f) future exploitation strategies; (g) procedures, methods and technical information related to proprietary processes and/or products; and (h) economic data used for forecasting, whether such information is digital, written, verbal, or contained in any other form.

1.5.2. The following shall not constitute Confidential Information: (a) information that is already lawfully known to the receiving Party; (b) information that is or becomes available to the public domain other than through the act of the receiving party; or (c) information that is acquired independently from a third party that has the right to disseminate such information.

1.5.3. LICENSEE shall not provide, disclose or otherwise make available the Licensed Program, or any part thereof, in any form, to any person or entity other than LICENSEE’s employees or contractors without the prior written consent of STREAMSIM.  LICENSEE shall use the same degree of care to safeguard the confidentiality of the Licensed Program as it uses to protect its own Confidential Information but under no circumstances less than a reasonable degree of care.  LICENSEE shall take appropriate action by instruction, agreement or otherwise with its employees, contractors, and any other user of the Licensed Program to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement with respect to use and security of the Licensed Program.

1.5.4 STREAMSIM shall use the same degree of care to safeguard the confidentiality of LICENSEE Confidential Information as it uses to protect its own Confidential Information but under no circumstances less than a reasonable degree of care.  STREAMSIM shall take appropriate action by instruction, agreement or otherwise with its employees, contractors, and any other user of LICENSEE’s Confidential Information to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement.

1.6. Network License. A Network License is administered by a License Manager with a valid license key installed on LICENSEE’s network. A License Manager is third-party software provided by STREAMSIM and installed on a License Server computer on LICENSEE’s network to allow LICENSEE the use the Licensed Program as set forth in the License Definitions and Fees Schedule. STREAMSIM will only guarantee that computers running on the same subnet as the License Server can correctly use the Network License.  The same subnet is defined as both the client computer and the computer on which the License Manager is installed sharing the same first three (3) numbers of their respective IP addresses.  To the best of its ability, STREAMSIM will provide assistance to ensure LICENSEE to use the Licensed Program on computers outside of the License Server’s subnet.  STREAMSIM however, does not guarantee that the Licensed Program will function correctly across subnets.

1.8 Virtual Server. Upon request by LICENSEE, STREAMSIM may issue a license key that is locked to a virtual machine. For a license key locked to a virtual machine, LICENSEE agrees to install the license server on one virtual machine only. Running the license server on two or more virtual machines simultaneously represents a breach of this Agreement. License keys locked to a virtual machine are issued only if LICENSEE has Standard Maintenance and Support.

STREAMSIM will also read and review any documentation written by LICENSEE for correctness and accuracy.

4.3.4. Data Formats. LICENSEE and STREAMSIM agree to use flat ASCII files as basic data exchange mechanism or data formats that the Licensed Program supports. STREAMSIM will not extract data from data bases, data formats that are unsupported by Licenses Program, or formats that require software tools unavailable to STREAMSIM to read. Data and models are exchanged via cloud access using a solution agreed upon between STREAMSIM and LICENSEE (email, dropbox, google drive, AWS, sharefile.com, company FTP server, etc).

4.3.5 No Warranty.  The Deliverables provided by STREAMSIM shall be in accordance with good industry standard practices using skilled labor.  However, due to the inherent uncertainties of reservoir modeling and forecasting, STREMASIM does not warrant any Deliverables provided. 

4.4 Expired Maintenance. In the case of a Perpetual License Term and in the event that LICENSEE does not renew Standard Maintenance and Support, LICENSEE may request (1) a one-time, non-expiring license key locked to a unique hardware MAC-address for the version of the Licensed Program existing at the date of maintenance expiration or (2) an annual license key renewable for two years from date of maintenance expiration for the version of the Licensed Program existing on the date of maintenance expiration permitting LICENSEE to change the License Server at each anniversary. Beyond two years, a permanent non-expiring license key locked to a unique hardware MAC-address will be issued. In no case will STREAMSIM provide LICENSEE a license locked to a virtual machine/MAC.
