Subscriber Accepts Section 17 (“Publicity”) and opts for a 5% discount. Discount will be reflected as a single line item on the invoice.	 

18.	Purchase Terms. Akumina will provide Subscriber with a license for the Platform for the term selected by Subscriber.  Licensing of the platform grants Subscriber with the following:
1.	An option to purchase a multi-year agreement and receive preferential pricing in return for upfront payment.
2.	Use of the Platform for a specific number of employees, for a specific license level of the software (as defined herein) and for a specific number of site experiences (instances).  A site experience (or an instance) is defined as any single, stand-alone, web-based experience leveraging the Platform that is delivering an experience to a single dedicated audience.  For example, a corporate intranet to Subscriber’s employees would be considered one site experience (one instance).  An extranet to Subscriber’s customers as an extranet would be considered a separate site experience (instance).
3.	Use of the Akumina software grants Subscriber the right to the software installation package for all major and minor product releases, updates and service packs.  Services to install/complete the upgrade are not included in the maintenance but can be purchase for an additional fee on a per customer basis.
4.	Akumina requires every Subscriber to purchase the standard “Setup & Configuration” service for each hosting environment which includes the installation and setup of the Platform in Subscriber’s environment(s).
5.	Subscriber has the option to self-host the Akumina AppManager & ServiceHub environments.  If Subscriber chooses to self-host, they are responsible for 100% of the monthly hosting costs for AppManager/ServiceHub environment.  Note: Akumina relies on a series of Azure Services to power performance inside the AppManager/ServiceHub environment.  This cost is included in the hosting cost when Akumina is providing managed hosting services, however, it would need to be added by the customer in a self-hosting scenario.
6.	Akumina’s Platform supports and ensures testing compatibility with the latest versions of the following web Browsers: Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome and Apple Safari.  Legacy Browsers can be supported for an additional charge.

19.	Native Mobile App Support: Akumina provides complete support for native iOS and Android mobile applications in certain license levels. To take advantage of this, Subscriber must have (or acquire) an enterprise developer license for iOS and Android mobile application development.  Enterprise deployments require each customer to have a distribution mechanism for the App inside their enterprise.  These solutions, usually called MDM (Mobile Device Management), allow for the testing and distribution of the mobile app, delivery of the appropriate mobile device certificate and downloading of the App itself.  This also represents the mechanism for delivering updates to the native App.  The Akumina native mobile app solutions requires a 4G or Broadband Internet connection due to the dynamic integration with Subscriber’s Office 365 (and other technology) environment(s).  Biometric Authentication (Face & Fingerprint ID) is not included in the license fees quoted above.  Biometric Authentication can be added by selecting the add-on below.

Subscriber elects to add Biometric Authentication functionality and support at an annual cost of $10,000.	 

20.	Training:  Akumina offers two training courses that are recommended for every Subscriber.  The first course is a Certified Developer course designed to train technical users on building and operating the Platform. The second course is a Certified Content Author and Admin course designed to target content authors, administrators and power users who will be using the software daily to execute the business strategy. These training sessions each run as classroom style and can be done via a Microsoft Teams meeting or in person. Akumina highly recommends in person training, however it is not required, and travel expenses are not included in the quoted price.
Certified Developer Training course is for unlimited users per training session.  Certified Content Author and Admin Training course is for unlimited users per training session.
21.	Best Practices Services:  Best Practices Services is an advisory professional service offered by Akumina designed to give our customers or our implementation partners guidance on approach and architecture, help on configuration, and customization of the use of the Akumina software platform.  This supporting service is provided by a dedicated best practices manager who knows your goals and strategic initiatives and can work with your team on aligning the use of Akumina to match those goals.  Depending on Subscriber’s needs, Best Practices can be used by the Subscriber as a stand-alone, in conjunction with supporting a Subscriber’s internal development team or in conjunction or supporting a Subscriber’s selected Akumina implementation partner.  Unless otherwise specified in a launch plan or statement of work, the following assumptions shall be in effect for every best practice engagement:


1.	Subscriber’s users are correctly licensed from Microsoft for Office 365 / SharePoint.  Akumina is not providing Microsoft licenses as a part of this engagement.

Should subscriber allow subscription to lapse and then choose to renew, Akumina shall invoice a one-time administrative fee of $10,000 to re-activate the subscription.   All supporting services purchased with the Akumina software subscription must be used during twelve-month period after purchase.


23.	Fees and Payment:  Subscriber agrees to pay the fees set forth above for the Platform and any associated services selected by Subscriber.  Akumina will issue invoices to Subscriber and all invoices will be due and payable upon receipt. Travel expenses incurred by Akumina personnel in providing services to Subscriber are not included in the fees quoted above and will be invoiced separately.  With the exception of an incurable material breach by Akumina, all payments are nonrefundable and exclusive of all taxes or duties, and Subscriber shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes or duties, excluding only U.S. (federal or state) taxes based solely on Akumina’s income.  Subscriber will be invoiced and will pay in U.S. dollars unless otherwise negotiated.  In addition to any other rights granted to Akumina herein, Akumina reserves the right to suspend or terminate this Agreement and Subscriber’s subscription, upon ten (10) business days’ written notice, if Subscriber’s account becomes delinquent (falls into arrears) and such delinquency is not cured within such notice period.
