Violation of this Section 3.3(a) shall give rise to Schrödinger having the right to immediately terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Licensee, and Licensee’s opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 2.2 shall not apply.

b. If any ML Model is disclosed (directly or indirectly) to any such third parties (as stated in Section 3.3(a) by Licensee), (i) Licensee shall, within seven (7) days of such disclosure, provide Schrödinger with a copy of the predictions contained in such disclosure, and (ii) Licensee shall delete or destroy all copies of any such disclosed ML Model in its possession or control and shall use best efforts to have all disclosed copies (and derivative works thereof) deleted, destroyed, taken down, and/or removed from access.

SCHRÖDINGER’S AND ITS AFFILIATES’ ENTIRE AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, FOR ANY REASON(S) AND UPON ANY CAUSE(S) OF ACTION WHATSOEVER, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE PRICE ACTUALLY PAID BY LICENSEE FOR THE USE OF THE SOFTWARE UNDER THE APPLICABLE PRICE QUOTATION GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY. NO LICENSOR OF SCHRÖDINGER SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO LICENSEE FOR LOSS OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SOFTWARE.

8.  TECHNOLOGY SERVICES

Licensee may purchase certain Technology Services (as further described in the applicable Price Quotation and/or Statement of Work). In no event will Schrödinger’s licensors be obligated to provide any maintenance, installation, Technology Services or support services of any kind.

9.  MAINTENANCE

Maintenance means: (a) technical support by telephone and e-mail (during regular business hours, with no guaranteed response time) and (b) bug fixes and new releases/new versions (which shall be deemed part of the Software). Maintenance is included in the applicable license fees. Maintenance is only available for hardware and software environments configured as specified in the Software’s documentation. Maintenance will terminate upon termination or expiration of the Agreement. Schrödinger reserves the right to discontinue Maintenance for Licensee’s installed version of the Software. Licensee is solely responsible for backing up the Software and performing other basic maintenance as set forth in the Software’s documentation. Schrödinger does not represent or warrant that Maintenance will remedy any problem with the Software. Services provided by Schrödinger beyond Maintenance will be subject to additional fees.

10.  ACADEMIC RESTRICTIONS

10.1     If Licensee is a university, non-profit or other similar institution purchasing a License to the Software under a Non-Commercial License (as set forth in the Price Quotation), the License granted by Schrödinger is subject to the following usage limitations:  (i) only a Qualified Non-Commercial User may use the Software;  (ii) the Software may only be used for academic or research purposes and cannot be used, directly or indirectly, for any project that supports, or is supported by, commercial efforts or a commercial enterprise, provided that this restriction shall not apply to basic research projects supported by a commercial enterprise where such commercial enterprise has no commercial or proprietary interest or rights in the outcome of such basic research; and (iii) any results, inventions, or discoveries generated using the Software are to be publicly disclosed and may not be kept confidential or proprietary, and such results or discoveries should be made available in and dedicated to the public domain without restriction. Licensee shall not use the Software for commercial purposes, or maintain the confidentiality of results or discoveries, unless Licensee pays in advance for an upgrade of its Non-Commercial License to a full commercial license pursuant to the then-current pricing generally offered by Schrödinger to its customers. A “Qualified Non-Commercial User” is a student enrolled at an accredited higher education institution, a faculty or staff member employed by an accredited higher education institution, or an employee of a not-for-profit organization or government agency.

10.2     If Licensee or its licensee, sponsor, or affiliate (including, but not limited to a separate organization affiliated with Licensee for technology development and/or transfer) has a patent application filed (regardless of ownership or who files) which includes at least one claim to a composition of matter, article, method, process, or product-by-process, any of the foregoing of which is based on or contains data obtained from or generated by the Software, Licensee shall immediately after becoming aware of such filing notify Schrödinger in writing thereof. And, in the event of such filing Licensee agrees to pay Schrödinger within thirty (30) days thereof three times the difference between Schrödinger’s then-current standard fee for a Commercial License and Non-Commercial License.

Token Library A Token Library means a collection of Software accessible to a User by the User’s application of the Tokens attributable to any particular Software program in the Library.
User An individual within Licensee’s organization who is authorized to use the Software on Licensee’s behalf.
User License A User License means a single individual authorized to access Software and to use the results generated in another interactive software application (which does not include, by way of example, static electronic documents or printed material or scientific or technical publications). If one User accesses Software and a different User uses the results generated from that User in another interactive software application, two (2) User Licenses are required. Only one User may be assigned to each User seat, and no User log-in and password to the Software may be shared.

 

2.     BioLuminate Restrictions. With respect only to the licenses granted by Schrödinger to the BioLuminate software, the following additional terms and conditions apply:

2.1    If a license(s) to PIPER is granted, one (1) PIPER license may allow distribution across CPUs within the same device to execute jobs.
