4. Cloud Services Integration
4.1 Relationship of Services
This License governs your use of the Software. Cloud Services are governed by separate Cloud Services Terms available at https://www.responsive.dev/responsive-cloud-terms-of-service . When using both the Software and Cloud Services, each agreement applies independently. The Software may be used on its own or in conjunction with Cloud Services. Your rights to use the Software are not dependent on using Cloud Services.
4.2 Independent Operation
Purchasing a Software license does not require the use of Cloud Services, and purchasing Cloud Services does not grant additional rights to the Software. Each product is licensed and sold independently, with separate pricing and terms.
4.3 Termination Effects
Termination or expiration of Cloud Services does not affect your Software license, and termination of your Software license does not affect your Cloud Services subscription. However, breach of either agreement may, at Licensor’s discretion, constitute grounds for termination of both. Compliance with both agreements is required when using both products.
4.4 Data and Integration
Data processed by the Software may be transmitted to Cloud Services when configured. You are responsible for configuring and managing integration features, as well as ensuring the security and privacy of data transmission between the Software and Cloud Services.
4.5 Service Levels
Any service levels for Cloud Services are specified in the Cloud Services Terms. The performance of the Software is independent of Cloud Services availability. Licensor is not responsible for issues arising from the interaction between the Software and Cloud Services. Cloud Services uptime does not guarantee Software functionality and vice versa.
5. Compliance Verification
You must maintain reasonable processes to track: (a) Source Code access and usage; (b) Compliance with Trial Period limitations; (c) Commercial License Key usage.
6. Ownership
Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Licensor or its licensors own and shall retain all proprietary rights, title and interest, including all patent, copyright, trade secret, know- how, design rights, trademark, and other intellectual property rights, in and to the Licensed Materials and any changes, corrections, bug fixes, enhancements, updates and other modifications thereto (collectively, “Modifications”), whether made by or on behalf of Licensee, Licensor or any third party, and as between the parties all such rights shall vest in and be assigned to Licensor. Licensee acknowledges that the license granted under this Agreement does not provide Licensee with title to or ownership of the Licensed Materials, but only a right of limited use under the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Licensee shall keep the Licensed Materials free and clear of all claims, liens and encumbrances. In the event ownership of any Licensed Materials or Modifications vest in Licensee, Licensee hereby assigns to Licensor all of its right, title and interest in and to all intellectual property and other rights (and where relevant such assignment is by present assignment of future copyright) in such Licensed Materials or Modifications, and waives any and all moral rights in such Licensed Materials or Modifications to which it may now or in the future be entitled under the laws of any jurisdiction.
7. Confidentiality

Licensee shall hold harmless, defend, and indemnify Licensor from and against any and all losses, costs, damages, and expenses arising out of or in connection with Licensee's failure to comply with requirements of this Section 7.
7.1 Opt-Out Metrics Collection
Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Licensor may collect certain usage metrics and information related to Licensee's use of the Licensed Materials, including but not limited to the number of API calls, feature utilization, performance data, and device information (collectively, "Usage Metrics"). Usage Metrics will be collected by Licensor for the purpose of billing, product improvement, and analysis of adoption trends. Licensee may opt out of this Usage Metrics collection by providing written notice to Licensor.
7.2 Usage-Based Licensing
If Licensee has purchased a usage-based license for the Licensed Materials, Licensee is required to provide the Usage Metrics specified by Licensor. Licensee agrees to transmit such Usage Metrics to Licensor on a regular basis as required under the terms of the usage-based license. Licensee acknowledges that continued use of the Licensed Materials under a usage-based license is contingent on Licensee's compliance with this Usage Metrics reporting requirement, and that Licensee may not opt out of Usage Metrics collection in this case.
8. Limited Warranty
There are no third-party beneficiaries to this Software License Agreement. Consequently, Licensor provides no warranty at all to any person, other than the limited warranty provided to Licensee hereunder. Licensee will be solely responsible for the development of the applications authorized by this Software License Agreement and for providing all support or services required or requested by end users of the applications.

Licensor assumes no responsibility under this Software License Agreement, either directly or indirectly, for damages to Licensee or third parties resulting from the direct or indirect use of the applications created by or on behalf of Licensee.
9. Infringement
Licensee shall indemnify and hold harmless Licensor and its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns against any damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from any third-party action to the extent based upon a claim that the Software infringes any copyright or trademark or misappropriates any trade secret, to the extent that such claim is based on any of the following: (a) any method or process in which the Software may be used; (b) compliance with Licensee’s specifications; (c) use of Software other than a current unaltered release of the Software; or (d) the combination, operation or use of the Software with non-Licensor programs or data, except where such combination, operation, or use is explicitly intended or recommended by Licensor.
10. Limitation of Liability
THE CUMULATIVE LIABILITY OF LICENSOR FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE LICENSED MATERIALS AND THIS SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY CAUSE OF ACTION SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR STRICT LIABILITY, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF ALL FEES PAID TO LICENSOR HEREUNDER. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS INTENDED TO APPLY WITHOUT REGARD TO WHETHER OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN BREACHED OR HAVE PROVEN INEFFECTIVE. LICENSOR SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR LOSS OF DATA OR DOCUMENTATION, IT BEING UNDERSTOOD THAT LICENSEE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REASONABLE BACK-UP PRECAUTIONS. IN NO EVENT SHALL LICENSOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS; ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; OR ANY CLAIMS OR DEMANDS BROUGHT AGAINST LICENSEE, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH CLAIMS OR DEMANDS. THIS LIMITATION UPON DAMAGES AND CLAIMS IS INTENDED TO APPLY WITHOUT REGARD TO WHETHER OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN BREACHED OR HAVE PROVEN INEFFECTIVE. LICENSEE MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS UNDER CERTAIN LAWS (E.G., CONSUMER LAWS) THAT DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES.
