Checkmarx Master Software License and Services Agreement

Local Country Addendum: Australia and New Zealand

For Customers incorporated in Australia or New Zealand, the following provisions shall apply. All other provisions of the Agreement shall remain the same except as provided herein. To the extent of any inconsistency or contradiction between this Addendum and the body of the Agreement, the terms of this Addendum shall prevail.

 

  1. Section 11.1 of the Agreement is hereby replaced with the following:

 

“11.1      Limited Warranties. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, Checkmarx does not exclude, restrict or modify any conditions or warranties or guarantees which may be implied or imposed by Australian Consumer Law when you acquire goods and services as a Consumer.  Checkmarx warrants to Customer that: (a) for a period of thirty (30) days after initial delivery to Customer, the Software, when properly installed or delivered, and used by Customer, will operate in substantial conformity with the functional specifications set out in the Documentation; and (b) to the extent the Services include any work, Checkmarx will perform this work in a timely, professional and workmanlike manner and in substantial conformity with the applicable Scope of Work. “

 

  1. Section 11.2 of the Agreement is hereby replaced with the following:

 

“11.2      Remedies. If Customer determines that the above-referenced warranties have been breached, Customer shall provide Checkmarx with prompt written notice documenting each such non-conformity. Within a reasonable time after receipt of Customer’s notice, Checkmarx shall, at Checkmarx’s sole discretion and to the extent permitted by applicable law as Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy: (a) deliver to Customer a workaround or correction of the non-conformity within a commercially reasonable time; or (b) as to the Software, if it is not feasible to offer Customer a workaround or correction within a reasonable timeframe, offer to Customer a similar product with substantially the same functionality as the non-conforming Software. If Checkmarx is unable to remedy the non-conformity as set out above and Customer has ordered the Software licenses or Services and paid the Fees directly to Checkmarx, Checkmarx shall apply a prorated credit (or prorated refund, if already paid by Customer) of Fees applicable to the non-conforming Service or Software. Alternatively, if Customer has ordered the Software licenses or Services and paid the Fees to an authorized Checkmarx reseller, Checkmarx will assist with coordinating a prorated refund of Fees paid or a prorated credit of Fees applicable to the non-conforming Service or Software from the authorized Checkmarx reseller.”

 

  1. Section 11.4 of the Agreement is hereby replaced with the following:

  1. A new Section 11.6 is hereby added to the Agreement as follows:

 

“11.6.     Australian Consumer Law.

You are also entitled to choose a refund or replacement for major failures with goods. If a failure with the goods or a service does not amount to a major failure, you are entitled to have the failure rectified in a reasonable time. If this is not done you are entitled to a refund for the goods and to cancel the contract for the service and obtain a refund of any unused portion. You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage from a failure in the goods or service.”
