SL7 Non-Production Instances.

SL7.1 Test, Development, and Training Instance.

SL8.3 Co-Termination.

For add-ons (Term Licenses for additional Products) the Term will be pro-rated to correlate with Customer’s current Term License period for other products.

Except for adjustments related to increases in the applicable number of Named Users, the Term License Fee will not be increased during any twelve-month term.

SL9 Reporting. No later than thirty (30) days after each anniversary of the Effective Date, Customer will provide Deltek with a report of the numbers of Employees, User IDs, Concurrent Users and Named Users, as applicable, for each item of Software licensed to Customer during the prior twelve-month period. Any Customer with a commitment to have licenses for all employees will also report the total number of employees for Customer and Affiliates covered by that commitment.

SL10 Audit Rights. Customer will keep accurate records of the number and location of copies of the Software made and distributed, and the number, license types and locations of users of the Software. Deltek may enter Customer's premises during business hours on reasonable advance notice for the purpose of examining, or having examined, Customer's relevant books, records, disaster recovery plan and computers to verify Customer's compliance with this Agreement. Deltek will be subject to reasonable rules and regulations regarding access to the Customer's facilities that are provided to Deltek in advance of the audit. Audits will be at Deltek's expense, unless the audit reveals that Customer has materially breached the Agreement, in which case the audit will be at Customer's expense. Deltek may provide the audit results to its licensors when required by the licensors.

SL11 RESERVED.

SL12 Software Warranty.

SL12.1 Warranty. Deltek warrants that the Software will be free from Defects for a period of one year from the date of initial delivery of the Software specified in an Order Form, for the initial term only in the case of Term Licenses ("Software Warranty Period"), when the Software is used in accordance with the Documentation. The Software Warranty Period may differ for specific Software in the Product-Specific Terms or in an Order Form. Deltek further warrants that it has not introduced into the Software any feature designed to damage or erase the Software or data. The Software may contain license protection features that limit access to the Software to the use permitted under this Agreement. Customer shall not circumvent or render inoperative any such protection features. To be valid, a warranty claim must be in writing and submitted to Deltek within the Software Warranty Period. If, during the Software Warranty Period, Customer believes that the Software has Defects, Customer shall promptly notify Deltek in writing, describe with specificity any such Defect, and provide a listing of output and such other data as may be required by Deltek to reproduce the Defect. Customer's exclusive remedy and Deltek's sole liability for Software performance under this software warranty will be (1) to use reasonable efforts to correct any such Defects and supply Customer with a Correction as soon as reasonably practicable, or (2) if Correction or replacement is not reasonably achievable by Deltek, to terminate Customer's License(s) for the affected Software and refund the License Fee paid upon Customer's certification that all copies of the Software have been returned or destroyed. The foregoing Software Warranty does not apply to Evaluation Licenses.

SL12.2 Warranty Exceptions and Exclusions. The express warranties set forth in this Limited Warranties Section do not apply to errors or malfunctions caused by (1) Customer's equipment, (2) software not licensed from or approved in writing by Deltek, (3) Misuse, (4) Customer's failure to use or implement Corrections or updates, (5) use of the Products in combination with materials or hardware not provided, specified or approved in writing by Deltek, (6) improper installation by Customer, any third party personnel contracted to operate the Software on behalf of Customer or, or a third party not authorized in writing by Deltek, or (7) any other cause not directly attributable to Deltek. These limited warranties shall be void if Customer or any third party modifies or changes the Products in any way beyond the scope of the configuration options contained in the Products. Deltek will not be required to maintain compatibility between the Deltek Products and any other software (other than Deltek-supported third party software) except as otherwise agreed in writing.

SL12.3 Personal Warranties. All warranties described above are personal to and intended solely for the benefit of the Customer and do not extend to any third party, including Affiliates.

SL12.4 Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTIES SECTION AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER DELTEK NOR ITS LICENSORS MAKE ANY EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY WARRANTIES, TERMS, CONDITIONS, OR REPRESENTATIONS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. DELTEK DOES NOT WARRANT OR REPRESENT THAT THE PRODUCTS WILL BE TIMELY, COMPLETE, RELIABLE, ADEQUATE, ACCURATE, USEFUL, SECURE OR ERROR-FREE. ALL MOBILE APPLICATIONS AND SOFTWARE DOWNLOADS ARE PROVIDED AS-IS WITH NO WARRANTY AND DELTEK ACCEPTS NO LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY CAUSED BY SUCH APPLICATIONS OR DOWNLOADS.

SL13 Customer Indemnification. If Deltek notifies Customer promptly in writing of a Claim and gives Customer full control of and assistance for the defense of such Claim, Customer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Deltek against any damages finally awarded resulting from a Claim (including a Claim by an Authorized User) that Customer has breached any third party terms.

SL14 Security. Customer is solely responsible for verifying that its Active and Named Users are properly authorized to access Customer systems in accordance with applicable law, regulatory requirements, and obligations under this Agreement. Deltek assumes no responsibility to verify nor will it contest Customer's representation that its Active or Named Users are properly authorized to access Customer systems; therefore, Deltek assumes no responsibility for access granted improperly by Customer to unauthorized parties. Each party will use reasonable efforts to take prompt remedial measures to rectify such unauthorized access to the extent within its control. Each party, upon the discovery of a credible security threat from a malicious actor that could threaten the security and integrity of the other party’s network, may immediately disconnect any remote connections to the other party’s network until such time as the threat has been eradicated and recovery and restoration is at an acceptable level as determined by mutual agreement of the parties. Upon disconnection, the party will provide notice to the other party without undue delay. During the term of any disconnection, the parties shall maintain ongoing communications regarding the provisioning of the Software and/or Services.

SL15 Maintenance and Support.
