Note that this Agreement cannot be changed without a mutually signed amendment. Couchbase will not in any way change the terms posted at the URL above. Any Orders or SOW placed under this version of the Agreement may only be modified by a mutually signed amendment.
1. Lizenzerteilung. During the Subscription Term, and subject to Licensee’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Couchbase grants to Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, fee bearing license to install and use the Software and Documentation only for Licensee’s own internal use and limited to the number of Licensed Nodes paid for by Licensee (and if stated in the Order, the number of Embedded Database Instances paid for by Licensee).
2. Restriktionen. Der Lizenznehmer wird nicht:
(a) die Software und die Dokumentation in irgendeiner Weise zu kopieren oder zu verwenden, es sei denn, dies ist in diesem Vertrag ausdrücklich gestattet;
(b) use or deploy the Software in excess of the number of Licensed Nodes and Embedded Database Instances for which Licensee has paid the applicable Subscription Fee;
(c) die Software und die Dokumentation an Dritte zu übertragen, zu verkaufen, zu vermieten, zu verleasen, zu verleihen, zu vertreiben oder Unterlizenzen zu vergeben;
(d) die Software für die Bereitstellung von Time-Sharing-Diensten, Service-Büro-Diensten oder als Teil eines Anbieters von Anwendungsdiensten oder als ein Dienstangebot zu verwenden, das in erster Linie dazu bestimmt ist, die Funktionalität der Software anzubieten;
(e) die Software zurückzuentwickeln, zu disassemblieren oder zu dekompilieren (außer in dem Umfang, in dem solche Beschränkungen gesetzlich verboten sind);
(f) die Software und die Dokumentation zu verändern, zu modifizieren, zu verbessern oder davon abgeleitete Werke zu erstellen;
(g) Eigentumshinweise in der Software und der Dokumentation zu ändern oder zu entfernen; oder
(h) export the Software in violation of U.S. Department of Commerce export administration rules or any other export laws or regulations.
If Licensee does not comply with the license terms or the foregoing restrictions, Couchbase may (without refund or credit) terminate Licensee’s license to the Software and Documentation or, at its sole discretion, suspend Licensee’s license to the Software and Documentation until Licensee comes into compliance with such terms and restrictions.
3. Eigentumsrechte. The Software (and any modifications or derivatives thereto) and all Documentation and Services, are and shall remain the sole property of Couchbase and its licensors. Except for the license rights granted herein, Couchbase and its licensors retain all right, title and interest in and to the Software, Documentation and Services, including all intellectual property rights therein and thereto. The Software may include third party open source software components. If Licensee is the United States Government or any contractor thereof, all licenses granted hereunder are subject to the following:
(a) für den Erwerb durch oder im Namen von zivilen Stellen, soweit dies erforderlich ist, um den Schutz als "kommerzielle Computersoftware" und die dazugehörige Dokumentation gemäß den Bedingungen dieses Abkommens und gemäß Unterabschnitt 12.1212 der Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), 48 C.F.R.12.1212, und ihren Nachfolgern zu erhalten; und
(b) für den Erwerb durch oder im Namen des Verteidigungsministeriums (Department of Defense, DOD) und dessen Behörden oder Einheiten, soweit dies erforderlich ist, um den Schutz als "kommerzielle Computersoftware" und die dazugehörige Dokumentation gemäß den Bedingungen dieses Vertrags und wie in den Unterabschnitten 227.7202-1 und 227.7202-3 der DOD FAR-Ergänzung, 48 C.F.R.227.7202-1 und 227.7202-3, und deren Nachfolgern spezifiziert, zu erhalten, ist der Hersteller Couchbase, Inc.
4. Unterstützung. Couchbase will provide Licensee with the level of Support indicated on the applicable Order and paid for by Licensee. For all Licensed Nodes and Embedded Database Instances within a specific Production Deployment, all such nodes and instances must be at the same level of Support, including any that are used for disaster recovery or backup that are associated with the specific Production Deployment. For the avoidance of doubt, each specific Production Deployment can have its own level of Support. Similarly, all Licensed Nodes and Embedded Database Instances in a development or test environment must be at the same level of Support but such Licensed Nodes and Embedded Database Instances may be at a different support level than the Production Deployment(s). When using the Cross Data Center Replication feature, Licensee must have all Licensed Nodes and Embedded Database Instances at the same level of Support for all instances on all sides of the replication connection, including if one side of the connection is only used for disaster recovery or backup.
5. Zahlungen. Licensee will pay Couchbase the Subscription Fees and any other applicable fees as set forth in each Order. All payments shall be made in the currency stated on the Order and are due within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice. Late payments will bear interest at the lesser of one and one half percent (1 ½%) per month or the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. In addition, Licensee will reimburse Couchbase for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in collecting any overdue amounts. All fees payable under this Agreement are net amounts and are payable in full, without deduction for taxes or duties of any kind. All fees are exclusive of, and Licensee is responsible for, all duties and taxes (including Value Added Tax which shall be paid by Licensee, if applicable, at the rate and in the manner for the time being prescribed by law), except for taxes based on Couchbase’s net income. All fees are non-refundable except to the extent expressly provided for in this Agreement. If Licensee sends Couchbase a purchase order (“PO”), the PO will be deemed a binding contract offer which Couchbase can accept by signing the PO or sending a written acknowledgment of acceptance of the PO (thereby forming a mutually agreed Order governed by this Agreement); in such case the nur terms listed on the accepted PO which will form the Order are the Commercial Details; and all other terms (whether additional or conflicting with this Agreement) on the PO will be void and without effect, even if Couchbase signs the PO. All accepted POs will automatically be governed by this Agreement (even if the PO does not reference this Agreement). “Commercial Details” means the identified product(s), quantity (e.g, number of Licensed Nodes and/or Embedded Database Instances), price, server size metric, support level, subscription start and end date, and professional service description.
6. Aufbewahrung von Unterlagen und Prüfung. Licensee shall maintain complete and accurate records to permit Couchbase to verify Licensee’s compliance with this Agreement (including the number of Licensed Nodes and Embedded Database Instances used by Licensee), and provide Couchbase with such records within ten (10) days of request. Upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice, Couchbase may audit Licensee’s use of the Software to assess whether Licensee is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Any such audit will be conducted during regular business hours at Licensee’s facilities and will not unreasonably interfere with Licensee’s business activities. Licensee will provide Couchbase with access to the relevant Licensee records and facilities. If an audit reveals that Licensee has underpaid fees to Couchbase, then Couchbase will invoice Licensee, and Licensee will promptly pay Couchbase for such underpaid fees based on Couchbase’s price list in effect at the time the audit is completed. If the underpaid fees exceed five percent (5%) of the Subscription Fee paid by Licensee for the Software, then Licensee will also pay Couchbase’s reasonable costs of conducting the audit.
7. Vertraulichkeit. Licensee and Couchbase will maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information. The receiving party of any Confidential Information of the other party agrees not to use such Confidential Information for any purpose except as necessary to fulfill its obligations and exercise its rights under this Agreement. The receiving party shall protect the secrecy of and prevent disclosure and unauthorized use of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information using the same degree of care that it takes to protect its own confidential information and in no event shall use less than reasonable care. The terms of this Confidentiality section shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, the receiving party will, at the disclosing party’s option, promptly return or destroy (and provide written certification of such destruction) the disclosing party’s Confidential Information. A party may disclose the other party’s Confidential Information to the extent required by law or regulation.
8. Ausschluss der Gewährleistung. THE SOFTWARE, DOCUMENTATION AND ANY SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. COUCHBASE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE, DOCUMENTATION OR SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER WILL MEET LICENSEE’S REQUIREMENTS, THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL OPERATE IN THE COMBINATIONS LICENSEE MAY SELECT FOR USE, THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT ALL SOFTWARE ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED.

Licensee’s obligation to make a payment of any outstanding, unpaid fees shall survive termination of an Order or this Agreement. Upon termination or expiration of all Orders or this Agreement, Licensee will promptly return or destroy (and provide written certification of such destruction) the Software, Documentation and Deliverables and all copies and portions thereof, in all forms and types of media. The following sections will survive termination or expiration of any Order and/or this Agreement: Sections 2, 3, 5-13.

Neither party will, without the other party’s prior written consent, make any news release, public announcement, denial or confirmation of this Agreement, its value, or its terms and conditions, or in any manner advertise or publish the fact of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, Couchbase may use Licensee’s name and logo, consistent with Licensee’s trademark policies, on customer lists so long as such use in no way promotes either endorsement or approval of Couchbase or any Couchbase products or services. Licensee may not assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without Couchbase’s prior written consent. Any attempt to assign this Agreement without such consent will be null and of no effect. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of each party’s successors and permitted assigns. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable, that provision of this Agreement will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

All waivers must be in writing and signed by both parties. All notices permitted or required under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered in person, by confirmed facsimile, overnight courier service or mailed by first class, registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the address of the party specified above or such other address as either party may specify in writing.
