5. CTI Warranties.

b. CTI warrants that it will perform its work (a) in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the respective Statement of Work and this Agreement; (b) using personnel of required skill, experience, and qualifications; (c) in a timely, workmanlike, and professional manner; and (d) in accordance with generally recognized industry standards in CTI’s field.
c. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THE AGREEMENT, NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE MADE BY CTI, AND CTI EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR WARRANTIES ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE OR TRADE PRACTICE. CUSTOMER IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR AND CTI EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND LIABILITIES OF ANY KIND RELATING TO CUSTOMER’S SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE, INCLUDING THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE AND/OR HARDWARE LICENSED BY CUSTOMER.

6. Customer Warranties. Customer represents and warrants that: (i) it has the power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement; (ii) the Customer Content does not contain any unlawful content, materials, data, work, trade or service mark, trade name, link, advertising or services that actually or potentially violate any applicable law or regulation or is not used by Customer in accordance with this Agreement in a manner that infringes or misappropriates any U.S. proprietary or intellectual property of any person in the United States; and (iii) Customer owns or has a licensed right to use the Customer Content.

7. Security.
a. CTI shall use commercially reasonable efforts and industry accepted methods to ensure the reliability and security of its Services, but CTI is not responsible for unauthorized access to Customer’s data or the unauthorized use of the Services. Customer is solely responsible for the use of the Services by any employee of the Customer, any person to whom Customer has given access to the Services, and any person who gains access to Customer’s data or the Services as a result of Customer’s failure to use reasonable security precautions, even if Customer did not authorize such use. Additionally, CTI shall not be responsible for unauthorized access to Customer Content and/or unauthorized use of the Services caused by Customer’s failure to update software that has passed its End of Life Date (as hereinafter defined).
b. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing, CTI shall provide Customer security recommendations and solutions as defined in SOWs attached to this MSA; provided, however, that CTI shall provide services for only the Current Major Releases (as hereinafter defined) of any software installed by CTI and running on Customer’s servers or websites or applications and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, will not provide security support for software that has reached or passed its End of Life Date (as hereinafter defined).
c. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Current Major Releases” shall mean the major releases (or versions) of any software running on Customer’s servers or websites or applications for which the software’s manufacturer provides standard support services and security updates and generally includes the software’s latest maintenance updates and may include additional enhancements, architectural changes, security upgrades, and major feature changes, as well as new features and functionality. A “Major Release” of a software product is designated by the numbers immediately to the left and right of the decimal point (e.g., PHP 7.3). For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “End of Life Date” shall mean the last date on which a software maker will deliver standard support services and/or security updates for a given version/release of a particular product. By way of illustration of the terms defined herein, the oldest Current Major Release for PHP is 7.1, and PHP only provides support for PHP 7.1 or newer (e.g., PHP 7.2, 7.3). Accordingly, PHP 5.3, 5.2, 5.1, 5.0 have passed their respective End of Life Dates. The maker of the PHP software publishes End of Life Dates for each of PHP’s Major Release online at http://php.net/eol.php.
d. Provided that CTI has given Customer prior written authorization, Customer may install software on Customer servers that has passed its End of Life Date (“Expired Software”). Installing Expired Software on Customer servers without CTI’s prior written consent shall be a material breach of this Agreement. CTI will support Expired Software only upon receiving a written request using a CTI-provided form from Customer that (i) identifies the Expired Software, including such software’s version and intended use, (ii) requests CTI’s support of the Expired Software, and (iii) and includes a statement that Customer acknowledges and accepts sole responsibility for the security and stability risks posed by running the Expired Software. Upon receiving such a request, CTI may, in its sole discretion, choose not to support the Expired Software. CTI’s execution of this Agreement shall not constitute its written approval to install Expired Software on CTI’s servers.

8. Customer’s Proprietary Rights.

a. Customer shall retain all of its right, title and interest (including copyright and other proprietary or intellectual property rights) in the Customer Content and all legally protectable elements, derivative works, modifications and enhancements thereto.
b. Customer hereby grants to CTI a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right and license during the Term of this Agreement to use the Customer Content only as necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

9. CTI Proprietary Rights.

a. The Parties acknowledge that CTI, in performing the Services hereunder may use certain Technology (as hereinafter defined) that was created by or licensed to CTI prior to the date of this Agreement. This Agreement provides Customer with a license to use the Technology (described below) and does not transfer from CTI to Customer any ownership interest or proprietary rights in the Technology. “Technology” means CTI’s proprietary technology, including CTI’s services, software tools, hardware designs, algorithms, software (in source and object forms), user interface designs, architecture, libraries, objects in documentation (both printed and electronic), network designs, know-how, trade secrets and any related intellectual property rights throughout the world (whether owned by CTI or licensed to CTI by a third party), and also including any derivatives, improvements, enhancements or extensions of the foregoing conceived, reduced to practice or developed by CTI during the Term of, as well as prior to the term of, this Agreement, but excluding, at all times, any and all Customer Content.

e. Customer will have no right to receive any object code or source code relating to the Services.

10. Acceptable Use Policy. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, CTI may terminate the Agreement at any time, if in CTI’s reasonable discretion Customer breaches CTI’s Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”), as amended from time to time. The AUP is available online at https://www.cti-it.com/acceptable-use-policy. CTI may change the AUP to add restrictions on Customer’s use of the Services provided that any such new restrictions are reasonable and consistent with this Agreement. Any changes to the AUP made during the Term will become effective as to Customer upon the first to occur of: (i) renewal of the Agreement, (ii) Customer’s execution of a new/additional SOW that incorporates the revised AUP by reference, or (iii) thirty days following CTI’s notice to Customer describing the change. If a change to the AUP materially and adversely affects Customer, Customer may terminate the Agreement, without any penalty, by giving CTI written notice of termination on such grounds no later than thirty (30) days following the date the change became effective as to Customer. If Customer terminates the Agreement because a change to the AUP adversely affects Customer, CTI may decide to waive that change as to Customer and keep the Agreement in place for the remainder of the term.
