For all Licensed Nodes and Licensed Devices within a specific 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 Deployment. For the avoidance of doubt, each specific Deployment can have its own level of Support.

6.2 When using the Cross-Data Center Replication feature, Customer must have all Licensed Nodes and Licensed Devices 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.

6.3 Couchbase may modify the terms of Support from time to time, provided that such modifications do not materially and adversely affect Customer’s Support subscription.

7. Non-GA Offerings.
7.1 From time to time and at Couchbase’s sole discretion, Couchbase may provide certain test, alpha, beta, free, trial, or otherwise not generally available Software (the “Non-GA Offerings”) in its sole discretion, subject to the restrictions generally applicable to the Agreement and any additional requirements set forth by Couchbase. Except as otherwise stated in an Order or otherwise in a writing executed by Couchbase, the Non-GA Offerings are provided without Support or any servicing obligations, and may contain bugs and other functional issues. NON-GA OFFERINGS ARE PROVIDED AS-IS AND WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OR INDEMNITY. Couchbase, its Affiliates and/or licensors will not be liable for any harm or damages related to Non-GA Offerings. Unless otherwise stated, any Non-GA Offering trial period will expire upon the earlier of one year from the trial start date or the date that a version of the Non-GA Offering becomes generally available. Couchbase may discontinue Non-GA Offerings at any time in its sole discretion and is under no obligation to make Non-GA Offerings generally available.

8. Fees.
8.1 Customer will pay Couchbase the Fees in advance, within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice, unless explicitly otherwise indicated in the applicable Order. If Customer purchases licenses or services related to the Software through an approved third-party partner, then the applicable agreement with that third-party will govern with respect to Customer for the appropriate payment terms, provided that such third-party agreement shall not override or attempt to override the payment terms in place between Couchbase and such approved third-party partner. All other terms and restrictions with respect to the use of the Software shall continue to apply to Customer. All payments are non-cancelable, not subject to the Limitation of Liability in Section 13 below and shall be made in the currency stated on the applicable Order. Fees are non-refundable except to the extent expressly provided for in this Agreement. 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. Customer will reimburse Couchbase for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in collecting any overdue amounts.

8.2 All Fees payable by Customer are exclusive of applicable taxes and duties (such as, without limitation, VAT, Service Tax, GST, excise taxes, sales and transactions taxes, and gross receipts tax (collectively, the “Taxes sur les transactions"). Si applicable, Couchbase peut facturer et le client doit payer toutes les taxes sur les transactions que Couchbase est légalement obligé ou autorisé à percevoir du client. Le client fournira à Couchbase l'information raisonnablement requise pour déterminer si Couchbase est obligé de percevoir les taxes sur les transactions auprès du client. Couchbase ne percevra pas, et le client ne paiera pas, les taxes sur les transactions pour lesquelles le client fournit un certificat d'exemption dûment rempli ou un certificat de permis de paiement direct pour lequel Couchbase peut réclamer une exemption disponible de ces taxes sur les transactions. Tous les paiements effectués par le client à Couchbase en vertu de cette entente seront faits libres de toute déduction ou retenue, tel que requis par la loi. Si une telle déduction ou retenue (y compris, mais sans s'y limiter, les retenues d'impôt transfrontalières) est requise pour tout paiement, le client paiera les montants additionnels nécessaires pour que le montant net reçu par Couchbase soit égal au montant alors dû et payable en vertu de la présente entente. Couchbase fournira au client les formulaires fiscaux raisonnablement demandés afin de réduire ou d'éliminer le montant de toute retenue ou déduction d'impôts en ce qui concerne les paiements effectués en vertu de ce contrat.

8.3 Customer is obligated to pay all applicable Fees without any requirement for Couchbase to provide a purchase order (“PO”) number on Couchbase’s invoice (or otherwise). If Customer sends Couchbase a PO in lieu of executing an Order, the PO will be deemed a binding contract offer which Couchbase may accept by (i) signing the PO or (ii) sending a written order acknowledgment of acceptance of the PO (thereby forming a mutually agreed Order governed by this Agreement). In any event, only the Commercial Details listed on PO shall be considered part of the Order created (exclusive of any pre-printed terms on the PO). Any other terms on the PO which either (i) conflict with the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) are not agreed under this Agreement, 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 P does not reference this Agreement). It is expressly agreed that Section 8 shall apply in respect of any PO sent by Customer and accepted by Couchbase.

9. Records Retention and Audit.
9.1 During any Subscription Term and for at least one (1) year thereafter, Customer shall maintain complete and accurate records to permit Couchbase to verify Customer’s compliance with this Agreement (including the number of Licensed Nodes and Licensed Devices used by Customer as well as Customer’s compliance with its obligations post-termination or expiration), and provide Couchbase with such records within ten (10) days of request.

9.2 Every three (3) months within a Subscription Term (or on another cadence as mutually agreed between the parties), Customer shall self-certify to Couchbase the total number of Licensed Nodes and Licensed Devices used in any production, test, development, or other Deployment. Such self-certification shall be in accordance with Couchbase’s instruction and in the form of either a (i) written report signed by an authorized representative of Customer or (ii) copy of an automatically generated report created by Customer. Couchbase will review such reports and determine if any true up Order is required. Additional fees for any excess usage shall be calculated based on the fees specified in the applicable Order for the applicable Licensed Node or Licensed Device size and type, and prorated, as applicable. If the excess usage includes nodes or device sizes or types for which fees are not specified in the applicable existing Order, then the (additional) fees shall be calculated based on Couchbase’s list price in effect at the time and prorated, as applicable.

9.3 Upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice, but no more than once in any twelve (12) month period, Couchbase may audit Customer’s use of the Software solely as necessary to verify Customer’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement during the Subscription Term and for one (1) year thereafter. Any such audit will be conducted during regular business hours at Customer’s facilities and will not unreasonably interfere with Customer’s business activities. Customer will provide Couchbase with access to the relevant Customer records and facilities.

10. Confidentiality.
10.1 Customer and Couchbase will maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information. “Informations confidentielles” means any proprietary information received by the other party during, or prior to entering into, this Agreement that a party should know is confidential or proprietary based on the circumstances surrounding the disclosure, including the Software and any non-public technical and business information (including Commercial Details). Confidential Information does not include information that (a) is or becomes generally known to the public through no fault of or breach of this Agreement by the receiving party; (b) is rightfully known by the receiving party at the time of disclosure without an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party; (c) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information; or (d) the receiving party rightfully obtains from a third party without restriction on use or disclosure

10.2 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 any unauthorized disclosure or 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.

10.3 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.
