13. Compliance with applicable laws
13.1 Licensee hereby agrees that:
a) It will comply with all applicable Sanctions and Export Control Laws;
b) It is solely responsible for ensuring that the Product is used, disclosed and/or transported only in accordance with all applicable Sanctions and Export Control Laws and;
c) It will not re-export or transfer the Product, in any form, directly or indirectly, to any person or entity based in Cuba, Iran, Syria, Sudan, South Sudan or North Korea;
d) It will immediately notify Partner to inform Sophos if it becomes aware that it or any of its personnel may have breached any applicable Sanctions and Export Control Laws.

13.3 Licensee warrants that its use and possession of the Products is and will continue to be in accordance with all other applicable laws and regulations. In particular but without limitation, Licensee acknowledges and agrees that it may be necessary under applicable law for Licensee to inform and/or obtain consent from individuals before it intercepts, accesses, monitors, logs, stores, transfers, exports, blocks access to, and/or deletes their communications.

In addition, Licensee agrees (to the extent permitted by applicable law, and without waiver of Licensee’s constitutional, statutory, or other immunities, if any) to indemnify and hold edpnet and / or Sophos harmless from and against any claim, proceeding, loss, liability, cost or damage suffered or incurred by edpnet and / or Sophos resulting from or related to Licensee’s violation of this Clause 13.
14. Term and termination
14.1 This Agreement shall commence upon installation of the Service at the Installation Address and shall remain in force until the earlier of
a) Expiry of the Product Term of the Service or;
b) Termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions herein.
14.2 The Agreement is concluded for a fixed Product Term of thirty six (36) months. Barring termination before the end of the initial Product Term, the Agreement will be tacitly renewed for consecutive Product Terms of twelve (12) months. The total maximum Product Term is sixty (60) months. In the event that Licensee does not wish to renew the Product Term, Licensee must notify edpnet of this in writing at least two (2) months before the end of the Product Term, without having to communicate the reason for it. In that case the Agreement will come to an end at the expiry date of the Product Term.

The amount of the damages shall be equal to the sum of the remaining monthly amounts until the end of the Product Term.
14.4 In case of a move to a new location, Licensee must inform edpnet of the date of the move at least one (1) month in advance so that edpnet can schedule the installation of the Hardware at the new Installation Address. Following Clause 3 of the Special Managed Services Terms and Conditions, a move falls outside the scope of Managed Services and the installation of the Hardware at the new Installation Address is therefore considered a separate order. Therefore, upon informing edpnet of the move, Licensee will receive a quotation from edpnet for the installation of the Hardware at the new Installation Address. A move will have no impact on the Product Term.
14.5 In case Licensee wishes to change the Service, this will be considered a new order by edpnet. In case of a downgrade, edpnet is entitled to charge Licensee a one-off administrative fee of € 100; in case of an upgrade, edpnet will not charge Licensee a one-off administrative fee. Unless agreed otherwise, upon the activation of the changed Service, edpnet will prepare a credit note for the excessive billed Fee in case of a downgrade, or an extra invoice for the insufficient billed Fee in case of an upgrade. If, for any reason, the change of Service requires the intervention of a technician, edpnet will provide Licensee with a quote for a field intervention. A change of Service has no impact on the Product Term as long as the Hardware remains unchanged.
14.6 Licensed Products are monthly subscription licenses. Actual usage may thus vary from month to month. Following Article 4.2 Licensee is the sole responsible for the management of the number of required Licensed Products. At any time Licensee can change the number of Licensed Products. Regardless of the effective activation date, the number of active Licensed Products established during Reporting will be considered as the number of active Licensed Products for the current month and will be used as such to invoice Licensee. Via an order confirmation document, edpnet will communicate to Licensee the quantities determined during Reporting.
14.7 Edpnet may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice if:
a) Edpnet does not receive the Fees (in whole or in part) from Licensee in accordance with the agreed payment terms or;
b) Licensee fails to comply with any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement;
c) Licensee takes or suffers any action on account of debt or becomes insolvent.
14.8 Subject to Clauses 14.6 and 14.11, Licensee may terminate the license for the applicable Licensed Product(s) at any time by uninstalling and destroying the relevant Licensed Product and all copies of it.
14.9 Within one (1) month after the date of termination of this Agreement or the applicable Product Term, Licensee must supply edpnet with written certification of the destruction of all partial and complete copies of the applicable Licensed Product(s). In the case of encryption Products, Licensee shall decrypt all encrypted drives and data prior to uninstalling and destroying the Product.
14.10 Licensee’s right to use and access the Products will automatically terminate on expiry of the applicable Product Term or this Agreement (whichever is the earlier) unless and until Licensee renews Licensee’s license for the Products.
14.11 Except as expressly set forth herein, all Fees paid or payable are non-refundable to the maximum extent permitted by law.
14.12 Edpnet reserves the right to refuse a request the conclude an Agreement in case Licensee:
a) Or his authorized representative refuses to identify himself and present the proof of being authorized to conclude an Agreement;
b) Does not respect the obligations under other agreements concerning a service provided by edpnet or has showed such a non-respect in the past.

17.5 Upon termination of the Agreement, Licensee is obliged to return the Hardware to edpnet within fifteen (15) calendar days and at his own expense. The burden of proof of the timely return lies with Licensee. In the event that Licensee does not return to edpnet the Hardware within fifteen (15) calendar days, edpnet is entitled to charge the Hardware to Licensee at list price. If Sophos no longer commercializes the device at that time, edpnet is entitled to charge the market price of the successor.
