and its divisions and subsidiaries, or by its affiliates ("NOV") to its customers (each a
"Customer") (the "Order(s)") are subject to NOV's written acceptance by an
authorized representative of NOV and any Orders so accepted will be governed by
(a) the terms and conditions stated in these Terms and Conditions (the "Terms"); (b)
the written proposal submitted by NOV to Customer ("Proposal"), if any; (c) the
written order acknowledgment issued by NOV to Customer ("Acknowledgment"), if
any; and, (d) any change orders identified as such and agreed to in writing by NOV
(the Order, Terms, Proposal, Acknowledgment, and any such change order, and any
such additional terms as agreed to in writing by an authorized representative of NOV
collectively referred to herein as the "Agreement"). Equipment, Services, Rental and
Documentation collectively are referred to as the "Products," as applicable. "API"
means the application programming interface, including any programmatic web APIs
and associated tools, protocols, data and documentation set forth in the Proposal. "
Software" means the software identified in the Proposal or Acknowledgment,
including without limitation, any application software, systems software, embedded
software, and firmware. With respect to Software, the term "purchase" or "sale"
refers to and means a "license" or "right to use," and under no circumstances be
interpreted as the transfer of property or title to software.


Customer's submission of an Order shall be deemed to be an express acceptance of these Terms
notwithstanding language in the Order inconsistent herewith or additional hereto, and
any inconsistent or additional language in an Order is hereby rejected. The Order is
incorporated in the Agreement, only to the extent of specifying the nature and
description of the Products and then only to the extent consistent with the Proposal
or Acknowledgment. In the event of any conflict between a Proposal and an
Acknowledgement, the Acknowledgment shall prevail.
If Customer and NOV have agreed in writing to a separate master service agreement
or an agreement of similar nature governing NOV's provision of Products ("MSA"),
which MSA is in force at the time of the Order and such MSA expressly applies to the
applicable Products stated in the Order, the Order will be governed by such MSA.
2. PRICES
Prices for Products shall be as stated in the Proposal or Acknowledgment, or if there
is no Proposal or Acknowledgment, as otherwise agreed to in writing by NOV.
Unless otherwise specified, all prices contained in a Proposal are valid for thirty (30)
days from date of issue, based on FCA NOV's premises (INCOTERMS 2010) and
are subject to change without notice. NOV bears no responsibility for any consular
fees, fees for legalizing invoices, certificates of origin, stamping bills of lading, or
other charges required by the laws of any country of destination, or any fines,
penalties or interest imposed due to incorrect declarations. Customer shall reimburse
NOV for all reasonable expenses incurred while performing the Services, including
travel, lodging and supplies. Charges will be added for factory preparation and
packaging for shipment. Minimum freight and invoice charges in effect at the time of
the Order shall apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prices will be subject to
increase in the event of an increase in NOV's costs, government action, or other
circumstances beyond NOV's reasonable control.
3. TAXES
Transaction Taxes. In addition to the charges due under the Agreement, Customer
shall be responsible for, and shall protect, indemnify, Defend and hold NOV
harmless from and against the reporting, filing and payment of any taxes, duties,
charges, licenses, or fees (and any related fines, penalties or interest and the like)
imposed directly on Customer as a result of the Agreement and all liabilities, costs,
and associated expenses (including lawyers' and experts' fees) which may be
incurred in connection therewith. Such taxes, duties, charges, licenses, or fees
include but are not limited to any local, state, federal, foreign, or international sales,
use, value added tax ("VAT"), goods and services tax ("GST"), rental, import, export,
personal property, stamp, excise and like taxes and duties. If NOV pays any such
tax, Customer shall, within thirty (30) days of NOV's demand, reimburse NOV for the
tax including interest, fines, and penalties, paid by the NOV. It shall be Customer's
sole obligation after payment to NOV to challenge the applicability of any tax.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer shall provide NOV with a copy of all
exporting documents and any other documents reasonably requested by NOV to
prove or substantiate to the appropriate tax authorities the Products were timely
exported.
Withholding Taxes. If Customer is required by any appropriate government
department or agency to withhold compensation due NOV to satisfy any obligation of
NOV for taxes due, Customer shall give at least 30 days' notice to NOV that
Customer will withhold. Customer agrees to pay on a timely basis the amounts so
withheld over to the appropriate government department or agency, on behalf of
NOV, and to provide NOV with any tax receipts (originals, if possible) or other
reliable evidence of payment issued by such government department or agency
within 30 days of the date required for withholding. Customer shall not withhold
compensation due NOV if NOV produces evidence, acceptable to Customer, that
NOV is not subject to the withholding of such taxes. Customer agrees that it shall not
unreasonably withhold such acceptance. Customer shall reimburse NOV for any
taxes withheld for which receipts or other reliable evidence substantiating the
remittance of taxes to the appropriate government department or agency are not
provided to NOV. Customer's obligation to deliver to NOV tax receipts or other reliable
evidence issued by the taxing authority shall not apply if Customer establishes to the
reasonable satisfaction of NOV that the appropriate government department or agency
does not provide such documentation. Notwithstanding the above, if Customer is required
to pay any such taxes or amounts that Customer believes is directly attributable to NOV,
Customer shall first provide notice to NOV and give NOV an opportunity to intervene to
protect its interest before Customer makes any payment.
Protest Rights. If Customer receives any demand or request for payment of any levies,
charges, taxes or contributions for which it would seek indemnity or reimbursement from
NOV, Customer shall promptly and timely notify the NOV in writing of such demand or
request. "Promptly and timely" as used in this sub article means that Customer must
notify NOV so that NOV has enough time and a reasonable opportunity to appeal, protest
or litigate the levies, charges, taxes or contributions in an appropriate venue.
To the extent that Customer fails to give prompt and timely notice, NOV has no obligation
to, and will not, reimburse or indemnify Customer for these levies, charges, taxes or
contributions. At NOV's request and cost, Customer shall initiate an appeal, protest or
litigation in Customer's own name if Customer is the only party that can legally initiate this
appeal, protest or litigation. Customer shall allow NOV to control the response to such
demand or request and Customer shall use its best efforts to appeal against such
demand or request. If Customer is required to pay any levies, charges, taxes or
contributions in order to pursue an appeal, protest or litigation, NOV shall reimburse
Customer for that amount promptly upon receipt of a written request from Customer.
NOV shall not be responsible for any compromise made by Customer without NOV's prior
written consent.
Cooperation. Customer shall cooperate with NOV, and at the request of NOV, Customer
shall use its best efforts to supply to NOV such information (including documentary
information) in connection with its activities as may be required by NOV for any of the
following purposes:
a. To enable NOV to comply with the lawful demand or requirement for such
information by any appropriate government authority or to ensure that all
requirements of the applicable law are being complied with;
b. To enable NOV to conduct, defend, negotiate or settle any claim arising out
of, or in connection with, such activities, whether or not such claim shall have
become the subject of arbitration or judicial proceedings;
c. To enable NOV to make any application (including without limitation, any
claim for any allowances or relief) or representation in connection with, or to
contest any assessment on, or liability of NOV to any taxes, duties, levies,
charges and contributions (and any interest or penalties thereon); or
d. To secure for NOV any beneficial tax treatment and legally minimize any tax
obligations in connection with the Agreement.
NOV's request for such information and documents shall allow Customer a reasonable
time to prepare, provide and submit that information requested. The obligations set forth
above shall exist for a period of six (6) years commencing with the date of agreement by
Customer of NOV's final statement of account under the Agreement, and Customer shall
retain and shall procure any subcontractor hereunder to retain, all information and
documents in connection with its activities under or pursuant to the Agreement as shall
enable Customer to comply with the above obligations.
4. PAYMENT TERMS
Unless alternate payment terms are specified and agreed to by NOV in writing, all
charges, including applicable licensing, packing and transportation costs, billed by NOV
are payable within net 30 days of the date of invoice. NOV reserves the right to modify or
withdraw credit terms at any time without notice. Unless otherwise specified, all payments
are due in the currency specified in the Proposal, Acknowledgment and/or invoice.
Interest shall be due from Customer to NOV on overdue accounts at 6% p.a. or the
maximum rate allowed by law. Customer must provide notice of any payment dispute
within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice or Customer waives any right to dispute
such invoice. When partial deliveries are made, Customer will be invoiced as Products
are shipped and each invoice will be treated as a separate account and be payable
accordingly. Payment is due whether or not technical Documentation and/or any thirdparty
certifications are complete at the time of shipment. NOV shall be entitled to recover
all reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in the collection of overdue
accounts.
NOV reserves the right, where a genuine doubt exists as to Customer's financial position
or if Customer is in default of any payment obligation, to suspend delivery or performance
of any agreement and/or any Order or any part thereof without liability and without
prejudice to, and without limitation of, any other remedy available to NOV until Customer
cures the default or satisfactory security for payment has been provided. NOV shall have
the option to extend the delivery date by a time at least equal to the period of such
suspension. In the event of Software or Rental, should Customer default in meeting any
of the terms hereunder for any reason, NOV has the right to retrieve all Software and
Rentals as detailed in the Agreement and also to collect rental fee and other payments
due. If Customer elects to exercise a purchase option for Rental Equipment, Rental
charges will be incurred and will be invoiced until the later of (i) the end of the agreed
time period that commences on the delivery of the Rental Equipment to Customer and
ends upon its return to NOV's premises ("Rental Period"); or (ii) 30 days prior to the
receipt of total purchase price and all other Rental amounts due.
5. DELIVERY
Unless otherwise agreed to by NOV in writing, delivery terms shall be FCA NOV's
premises (INCOTERMS 2010). Software may be delivered electronically. Where
Equipment is to be supplied from stock, such supply is subject to availability of
stocks at the date of delivery. Partial shipments may be made as agreed to by
Customer and NOV. Stated delivery dates are approximate only and cannot be
guaranteed. NOV shall have no liability for damages arising out of the failure to keep
a projected delivery date, irrespective of the length of the delay. In the event
Customer is unable to accept delivery of Equipment when tendered, NOV may, at its
option, arrange for storage of the Equipment, at Customer's sole risk, and Customer
shall be liable to NOV for the reasonable cost of such storage. This provision is
without prejudice to any other rights which NOV may have with respect to
Customer's failure to take delivery of Equipment, which includes the right to invoice
Customer for the Equipment. Customer is responsible for all shipping costs from
NOV's premises to the location as designated by Customer. All shipping costs for the
return of Equipment from the location specified by Customer to NOV's premises shall
also be for Customer's account.
6. TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS
For purchased Equipment, ownership and risk of loss or damage pass to Customer
upon the earlier of NOV's delivery of the Products, or (b) invoicing by NOV for the
Products where Customer is unable to accept delivery on the scheduled date. NOV
retains a security interest in the Products until the purchase price has been paid.
Customer agrees to provide NOV a first-priority and cross-collateralized security
interest in all Products supplied by NOV under the same Agreement and the
proceeds thereof and perform upon request all acts required to secure NOV's
interest including but not limited to executing all documents necessary to
memorialize, record and perfect NOV's said security interest. NOV accepts no
responsibility for any damage, shortage or loss in transit. NOV will attempt to pack or
prepare all shipments so that they will not break, rust or deteriorate in shipment, but
NOV does not guarantee against such damage. Claims for any damage, shortage or
loss in transit must be made by Customer on the carrier.
In the event of Rental, Customer assumes all risk and liability whether or not covered
by insurance, for loss or damage to the Rental Equipment upon delivery by NOV.
Title to Rental Equipment shall remain with NOV at all times. Customer acquires no
ownership, title or property rights to the Rental Equipment except the right to use the
Rental Equipment subject to the terms of the Agreement during the Rental Period.
8. CHANGES
NOV expressly reserves the right to change, discontinue or modify the design and
manufacture of Products without obligation to furnish, retrofit, support or install
products previously or subsequently sold.
Irrespective of anything stated to the contrary elsewhere, if, on or after the date of
the issuance of the Proposal, there shall be any change in (i) the level or in the
incidence, or any new incidence or abolition, of any tax applicable to the Agreement
or any Order issued hereunder, which are by law payable by NOV hereunder in
respect of its employees working under the Agreement or any Order issued
hereunder or in respect of NOV's activities under the Agreement or an Order
hereunder, the net amount of such change or new incidence or abolition shall
constitute an addition or reduction (in line with the law change) to the sums payable
to NOV under the Agreement, including taxes which Customer is required by law to
deduct at source from the payment to NOV, provided NOV has submitted
documentation to Customer of the net impact and additional cost arising from a
change in tax law, or (ii) in applicable laws, decrees, rulings, practices or regulations,
or any changes in the interpretation of same are made, published or become
effective after the date of the issuance of NOV's Proposal, or other circumstances
beyond NOV's reasonable control, and if it is demonstrated that such changes cause
additional or increased costs to NOV's performance and/or impact the delivery
schedule, NOV shall be entitled to extension of any delivery date and/or any such
additional costs.
9. PRIVACY & CUSTOMER DATA
Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Products may contain certain data
logging functionality, including as part of the Services, and consents to the collection
and sending of such data generated by the data logging functionality to NOV Group.
As between Customer and NOV, Customer owns all data and information generated
by the data logging functionality provided by or on behalf of Customer Group or
otherwise collected via the Services ("Customer Data"). Customer grants to NOV
Group a non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, transferable, world-wide, royalty-free,
fully paid-up, and without the right of attribution, right and license for the NOV Group
to use and create derivative works of and from the Customer Data for its business
purposes, provided that NOV Group will not use or disclose Customer Data in a
manner that would identify Customer or Customer Data provided, however, that NOV
may disclose Customer Data if NOV determines that such disclosure is legally
required or is necessary to protect NOV's rights or for the party.
Customer shall not knowingly send to or store in the Products any viruses, worms,
Trojan horses or other harmful code, or data which violates the rights of any
individual or entity. NOV SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR THE
DELETION, CORRUPTION, CORRECTION, DESTRUCTION, DAMAGE, LOSS, OR
FAILURE OF ANY CUSTOMER DATA OR OTHER DATA.
10. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
The Products, including all applicable ideas, methods, algorithms, formulae and
concepts used in developing and/or incorporated into the Products, all future
Updates, Upgrades and all derivative works (as such term is used in the U.S.
copyright laws) based upon any of the foregoing and all copies of the foregoing are
the proprietary and intellectual property rights and trade secrets of NOV, having
significant commercial value to NOV. Except with respect to the sale of Equipment,
title to all Products shall be and remain exclusively with NOV. NOV may freely use
any suggestions or recommendations for improvements or modifications to the
Products made by or on behalf of Customer without attribution except to the extent
necessary to register NOV's intellectual property rights under US law or other
applicable law, or the need for NOV or any third party to pay Customer or any third
party any royalties or other fees of any kind. No intellectual property or other
ownership rights to any Products are transferred to Customer by virtue of these
Terms. Except with respect to the sale of Equipment, all Products in Customers'
possession are licensed to Customer during the term of the applicable Order. All
rights not expressly granted herein are reserved to NOV.
NOV retains all rights, title and interest in and to any Insights provided or created by
the Services or the NOV Group. Insights are derived from Customer Data and NOV
Group's aggregated database and processed via the Services. The Customer is
hereby granted the right to use any such Insights provided to Customer by NOV in
connection with Customer's, and to the extent applicable, End Users' use of the
Products for Customer's internal use only. Subject to NOV's rights set forth herein,
Customer retains all rights, title and interest in Customer's analysis of the Insights.
Subject to these Terms, NOV grants Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable,
personal, non-sublicensable limited license during the term set forth in the Proposal (or if
no term is set forth therein, for a term of one (1) year after delivery of the applicable
Product, excluding any embedded Software, which license shall be for the life of the
Equipment containing the embedded Software) to access and use the Software solely in
connection with the Products, subject to and in accordance with any licensed metrics and
other scope limitations that may be set forth in the Proposal. Certain Products may be
subject to additional or different terms, which shall be identified in the applicable Proposal
or Acknowledgement or as otherwise set forth in writing. Customer may not install
embedded Software on any hardware other than the Equipment such embedded
Software was provided with.
Software may only be used by Customer for Customer's ordinary business or to provide
training to Customer's employees, contractors, and/or consultants in connection with
operation of the Equipment ("End Users"). Customer will ensure that each End User of
the Software has agreed in writing, prior to using the Software, to be legally bound by a
written agreement between Customer and an End User governing that End User's use of
the Software, which must include terms and conditions that are substantially similar to
these Terms ("EULA"). Customer is responsible for ensuring End Users' compliance and
remains fully liable for any failure of any End User to do so. Each EULA must provide that
NOV is a third-party beneficiary with the right to enforce the terms therein, a disclaimer of
liability that waives all End Users' claims against NOV and include the protection of
NOV's intellectual property. Customer may not include any provisions in the EULA that
impose obligations, liabilities or restrictions on NOV that are not expressly set forth herein
or as otherwise agreed to by NOV, in writing. To the extent Customer agrees to different,
additional or expanded obligations, liabilities or restrictions, Customer shall be solely
responsible for such additional obligations and liabilities, and NOV shall have no
obligations or liabilities with respect thereto.
Certain portions of the Software may contain source code subject to the terms of public,
free and open source licenses (the "Open Source Software"), including, without
limitation, the GNU Lesser General Public License (collectively, the "Open Source
Licenses"). The Open Source Licenses are included in the Documentation for the
Software or available upon Customer's request. To the extent that these Terms differ
from the Open Source Licenses, these Terms are offered by NOV alone and not by any
other party. Unless expressly addressed in the Proposal, these Terms do not replace or
alter Customer's rights or obligations under the Open Source Licenses with respect to the
Open Source Software.
NOV shall make available to Customer, for no charge, updates to the Software that NOV
publishes that are directed to maintaining the operation of Equipment in accordance with
the Documentation ("Updates"). NOV may also offer Upgrades (as defined below) to
Customer. Subject to the terms hereof, Customer is solely responsible for the installation
of all Updates and Upgrades, provided, however, that NOV shall, at no charge to
Customer, provide reasonable remote assistance with installation of the Updates.
"Upgrade" means a release or version of the Software containing functional
enhancements, extensions, error corrections or fixes that NOV makes available to its
customers for a fee, or, where Customer is enrolled in a NOV maintenance and support
program expressly covering Software, generally free of charge. Each Update and
Upgrade includes associated Documentation, to the extent applicable. In the event that
remote support is requested by Customer, Customer agrees to provide all access to
Customer systems and related assistance as NOV or its agents may require. Any support
services shall be billed at NOV's then standard rates plus costs.
Subject to these Terms, and, to the extent applicable, the terms of a separate
development agreement, NOV may license for Customer's use the API solely to enable
Customer's applications to interact with the Software and retrieve information necessary
to facilitate Customer's use of the Software through Customer's applications. NOV
provides the API for the convenience of the Customer, and CUSTOMER AGREES THAT
ITS USE OF THE API IS AT CUSTOMER'S SOLE RISK AND LIABILITY. THE API IS
PROVIDED TO CUSTOMER "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY. Customer shall, and shall
cause any End User to (i) comply with any applicable laws, regulations, industry
standards and third party rights in connection with Customer's access to and use of the
Software and APIs; (ii) use commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to protect user
information collected by Customer's applications, including personally identifiable
information, from unauthorized access or use (including through the maintenance of a
commercially reasonable, accurate and not misleading privacy policy describing such
principles) and will promptly report to End Users using Customer's applications, to the
extent required by applicable law, and to NOV details of any unauthorized access or use
of such information; (iii) display any attribution(s) required by NOV as described in the
documentation for the Software and APIs in accordance with the Agreement and only for
the purpose of fulfilling Customer's obligations under this sub article; and (iv) not make
any statement regarding Customer's use of the Software or APIs which suggests
partnership with, sponsorship by, or endorsement by NOV without our prior written
consent.
Customer shall not, and shall not permit any End-Users to: (i) transfer, assign,
sublicense, make available, or permit any third party to access or use the Software; (ii)
use the Software on hardware other than the Equipment or for any unauthorized purpose;
(iii) decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, or otherwise attempt to derive the trade
secrets embodied in the Products; (iv) remove or modify any copyright, trademark,
proprietary rights, disclaimer, or warning notice included on or embedded in any part of
the Products, including any screen displays, etc., or any other products or materials
provided by NOV hereunder; (v) publish any results of benchmark tests run on the
Software; (vi) use the Products or any NOV Confidential Information to develop a
competing product or service; (vii) use any Confidential Information disclosed by NOV to
dispute the validity of any NOV intellectual property rights, including those comprising the
Products; or (viii) represent to any End User or third party that Customer is the creator or
developer of the Products. If applicable law permits Customer to engage in any such
activities notwithstanding these Terms, Customer will provide NOV with advance
written notice and reasonably detailed information concerning Customer's intentions
in that regard.
NOV has the right to monitor use of the Software. Customer will not attempt to block,
disguise, obscure, or otherwise interfere with any such monitoring. NOV shall have
the right at its own expense, to be exercised no more than once in any calendar
quarter, to audit or have audited Customer's compliance with the Agreement.
Customer shall maintain all appropriate records necessary to conduct such audit. In
the event that the audit reveals that Customer has violated the limitations on its
license hereunder, Customer agrees to reimburse NOV for the cost of the audit and
will also pay additional fees attributable to the number of unauthorized Products,
vessels, drilling or production units or other properties and/or End Users revealed by
the audit.
All Services provided to Customer are conditioned on Customer's continued
compliance with the Agreement. Notwithstanding any other remedies available to
NOV at law, in equity, or otherwise, the Services may immediately and automatically
be suspended or terminated, at NOV's sole discretion, if Customer fails to comply
with any terms of the Agreement.
In the event of termination of the Agreement or expiry of Services, all licenses
granted therein shall also terminate and Customer shall cease all use of the
Products, excluding any fully paid for Equipment, and Customer shall return or
destroy, in NOV's sole discretion, all Software, Documentation, and any NOV
Confidential Information (as defined below). Upon NOV's request, Customer shall
provide an "affidavit of destruction" acceptable to NOV certifying compliance with the
foregoing.
11. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
Each party recognizes and acknowledges that it shall (a) maintain all data,
information, disclosures, documents, drawings, specifications, patterns, calculations,
software, applications, technical information and other documents (collectively,
"Confidential Information") obtained from the other party in strict confidence, (b) use
Confidential Information only for the purposes set forth in the Agreement, (c) limit
dissemination of Confidential Information to its officers, employees, subcontractors
and consultants who have a "need to know" and who have agreed not to disclose
such Confidential Information, (d) not otherwise disclose any Confidential
Information, or permit any third party to examine or copy any Confidential
Information, without the disclosing party's prior written consent, and (e) advise the
disclosing party promptly in writing of any unauthorized disclosure or use of
Confidential Information. The receiving party shall be liable for any breach of this
Article 11 by any of its employees, agents or any other person who obtains access to
or possession of any of the disclosing party's Confidential Information from or
through the receiving party. Each party acknowledges that the restrictions in this
Article 11 are reasonable and necessary to protect the other party's legitimate
business interests. Each party acknowledges that any breach of any of the
provisions of Articles 10 or 11 shall result in irreparable injury to the non-breaching
party for which money damages could not adequately compensate. If there is a
breach, then non-breaching party shall be entitled, in addition to all other rights and
remedies which it may have at law or in equity, to have a decree of specific
performance or an injunction issued by any competent court, requiring the breach to
be cured or enjoining all persons involved from continuing the breach. The existence
of any claim or cause of action that a party or any other person may have against the
other party shall not constitute a defense or bar to the enforcement of any of the
provisions of this Article 11. For the avoidance of doubt, training material, Software
and APIs are Confidential Information of NOV. Notwithstanding the above, this
Article 11 shall not deprive the receiving party of the right to use or disclose any
Confidential Information: (a) which is, at the time of disclosure, known to the public;
(b) which becomes at a later date known to the public through no fault of the
receiving party ; (c) which is possessed by the receiving party, as evidenced by such
party's written records, before receipt thereof from the disclosing party; (d) which is
disclosed to the receiving party in good faith by a third party who has an independent
right to such information; (e) which is developed by the receiving party as evidenced
by documentation, independently of the Confidential Information; or, (f) which is
required to be disclosed by the receiving party pursuant to an order of a court of
competent jurisdiction or other governmental agency having the power to order such
disclosure, provided that the receiving party uses its best efforts to provide timely
notice of such order to the disclosing party to permit the disclosing party an
opportunity to contest such order.
Customer agrees: (a) to use the information provided by NOV in connection with
Insights only in connection with these Terms and permitted use(s) and maintenance
of Products; and (b) such information shall be Confidential Information of NOV and
Customer shall prevent disclosure of such information, except to its employees,
agents or financing parties who have a need to know for Customer to perform its
obligations under the Agreement or to use and maintain the Products.
12. FORCE MAJEURE
If either party is unable by reason of Force Majeure to carry out any of its obligations
under the Agreement, other than the obligations to pay money when due and
indemnification obligations assumed hereunder, then on such party giving notice and
particulars in writing to the other party within a reasonable time after such party's
knowledge of the occurrence of the cause relied upon, such obligations shall be
suspended. "Force Majeure" shall include acts of God, laws and regulations,
government actions, war, civil disturbances, strikes and labor problems, delays of
vendors, carriers, lightening, fire, flood, washout, storm, breakage or accident to
equipment or machinery, shortage of raw materials, internet or telecommunications
failures, network intrusions, denial of service attacks, and any other causes that are not
reasonably within the control of the party so affected. NOV shall be paid its applicable
standby rate, if any, during any such Force Majeure event

indemnifying party without undue delay and in writing upon receipt of any Claim, or upon
the filing of any such Claim, whichever first occurs, and shall afford the indemnifying party
full opportunity, at indemnifying party's option and expense, to answer such Claim or

Article 124.
c. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Customer, to the maximum extent
permitted under applicable law, shall release, indemnify, Defend and hold

the Software becomes, or in the opinion of NOV may become, the
subject of a claim of infringement, NOV may, at its option: (x) procure for
Customer the right to use such Software free of any liability; (y) replace
or modify such Software to make it non-infringing; or (z) if neither (x) nor
(y) is commercially feasible, directing Customer to stop using the
Software and issue Customer a pro-rata refund of the license fee paid for
such affected Software. NOV'S MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY
UNDER THIS ARTICLE 13.d WILL BE ONE MILLION U.S. DOLLARS

EQUAL TO THE TOTAL CHARGES PAID BY CUSTOMER FOR THE
APPLICABLE SUBSCRIPTION BASED SERVICES, SOFTWARE OR
RENTAL UNDER THE RELEVANT ORDER DURING THE ONE-YEAR
PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE FIRST EVENT GIVING
RISE TO THE CAUSE OF ACTION. CUSTOMER SHALL RELEASE,
INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD NOV GROUP HARMLESS FROM
AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS IN EXCESS OF THE
LIMITATION AMOUNT.
h. THE EXCLUSIONS OF LIABILITY, RELEASES AND INDEMNITIES SET

CAUSE(S) THEREOF, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO PREEXISTING

OR LATENT,
i. Except with respect to liability under Article 13.e, redress under the

qualified self-insurance) in an amount not less than U.S. $5,000,000.00. Upon written
request, each party shall furnish to the other party certificates of insurance
evidencing the fact that the adequate insurance to support each party's obligations
hereunder has been secured. To the extent of each party's release and indemnity
obligations expressly assumed by each party hereunder, each party agrees that all

include the other party, its parent, subsidiary and affiliated or related companies, and

15. CANCELLATION
Orders placed by Customer and accepted by NOV may be canceled only with the
consent of NOV and will subject Customer to cancellation charges. All of NOV's
documents, drawings and like information shall be returned to NOV upon Customer's
request for cancellation. No Orders may be canceled subsequent to delivery or shipment,
whichever occurs earlier. As estimated actual damages, Customer agrees to pay NOV
the greater of NOV's actual costs incurred prior to cancellation plus a reasonable profit, or
the following minimum cancellation charges for Equipment. CUSTOMER
ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE CANCELLATION CHARGE SET FORTH
IN THIS ARTICLE 15 IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF DAMAGES TO BE
SUFFERED BY NOV AS A RESULT OF THE CANCELLATION OF AN ORDER FOR
EQUIPMENT, WHICH AMOUNTS ARE IMPOSSIBLE OR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO
ASCERTAIN, AND THAT SUCH CANCELLATION CHARGE IS NOT INTENDED AS A
PENALTY BUT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES:
a. 20% of the value of the relevant Order if canceled 30 or more days prior to
the original delivery/shipment date;
b. 50% of the value of the relevant Order if canceled thereafter; or
c. 100% of the value of any non-standard Equipment (which are Equipment not

stated in the Order or an applicable proposal will apply. Customer shall verify the amount
of the cancellation charges prior to canceling an order.
16. RETURN OF MADE TO STOCK PARTS
With NOV's written approval, unused, incorrectly shipped or "Made to Stock" parts
ordered incorrectly, in new condition and of current manufacture and catalog
specifications may be returned by Customer for credit (subject to a restocking fee),
provided written request is received within one (1) year after the purchase date. Except
for "Made to Stock" parts as set forth above in this Article 16, no Products are returnable
for credit and such Products shall only be accepted for return with the prior written
agreement of NOV. Requests for return of "Made to Stock" parts must show the original
Order number, invoice number, description of material, and date of purchase. Return of
Products does not relieve Customer of the obligation to make payment against NOV's
invoice, and any credit or refund allowed will be issued only following NOV's receipt of the
Products and payment therefor. The credit allowed on returned Products, if any, is a
merchandise credit and is applicable only against future purchases of NOV Products as
agreed by NOV. The credit given will be solely in NOV's discretion and may be based on
the original or a subsequently adjusted price. A charge will be assessed to clean-up,
refinish and restock the Products, if applicable. No rubber or electronic products or
components may be returned for credit after six (6) months from date of purchase.
17. GOVERNING LAW
Except for Products provided, or to be provided, or where an Order is accepted or
fulfilled, by a NOV entity registered in North or South America (the "America's"), the
Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of England
and Wales, excluding conflicts and choice of law principles. Except as provided for in
Articles 13 and 14, the parties agree that The Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act

number of arbitrators shall be three unless the Claim does not exceed an amount of ONE
MILLION U.S. DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00 USD), in which case the number of arbitrators
shall be one. The seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be London, England and shall
be conducted in the English language. Judgment upon any award may be entered in any
court having jurisdiction thereof. Except as may be required by law, neither party nor its
representatives may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration
hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party.
For Products provided, or to be provided, or where an Order is accepted or fulfilled, by a
NOV entity registered in the America's, the Agreement shall be governed by and
interpreted in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Texas, excluding
conflicts and choice of law principles. Any dispute, action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to the Agreement must be brought in a state or federal court sitting in Harris

any activity or use prohibited by or subject to sanctions under the laws or regulations
of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction, without obtaining prior

Article 18, NOV shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement and any
Order upon notice to the Customer. Alternatively, NOV may suspend performance of
all Services and/or Products under this Agreement and any Order with immediate
effect on written notice to Customer. In the event of such suspension, Customer shall
have a period of 30 days (the "Suspension Period") to demonstrate to the reasonable
satisfaction of NOV, acting in good faith, that no breach has occurred. If, following
the Suspension Period, NOV acting in good faith is not reasonably satisfied that no
breach has occurred, NOV may immediately terminate this Agreement and any
Order upon notice to the Customer. Customer shall indemnify, Defend and hold NOV
harmless from and against any Claim incurred in connection with Customer's breach
of any of the provisions of this Article 18.

It is expressly understood that NOV is an independent contractor, and that neither
NOV nor its principle, partners, employees or subcontractors are servants, agents or
employees of Customer. In all cases where NOV's employees (defined to include
NOV's and its subcontractors, direct, borrowed, special, or statutory employees) are
covered by the Louisiana Worker's Compensation Act. La. R.S. 23:102 et seg., NOV

pursuant to the Agreement are an integral part of and are essential to the ability of
Customer to generate Customer's goods, products, and services for the purpose of
La. R.S. 23:106(A) (1). Furthermore, NOV and Customer agree that Customer is the
statutory employer of all of NOV's employees for the purpose of La. R.S. 23:1061(A)

20. ADDITIONAL RENTAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Unless otherwise indicated, the Rental rates contained in NOV's Proposal are on a
per day basis and such rates shall apply to each piece of Rental Equipment rented.
NOV represents that it has fully inspected the Rental Equipment as detailed in the
applicable Order and that said Rental Equipment is in good condition and repair and
is fully acceptable for use as specified in the applicable Order. Furthermore, NOV
represents that the Rental Equipment and parts are not subject to any
encumbrances or liens, and that NOV has full title to such Rental Equipment.
Customer represents and warrants that it shall use the Rental Equipment in a careful and
proper manner and shall comply with all laws, ordinances and regulations relating to the
possession, use and maintenance of the Rental Equipment in accordance with NOV's
approved procedures. In the event the parties agree that Customer shall operate the

operated by skilled employees trained in the use of the Rental Equipment. Customer

21. GENERAL
The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with regards to the
subject matter hereof and supersedes and incorporates all prior or contemporaneous
representations, understandings or agreements, and may not be modified or amended
except by an agreement in writing signed between the parties hereto. Failure of NOV to
enforce any of the terms and conditions of the Agreement shall not prevent a subsequent
enforcement of such terms and conditions or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent
breach. The terms of the Agreement will be considered as severable, so that the invalidity
or unenforceability of any provisions will not affect the validity or enforceability of the
remaining provisions; provided that no such severability will be effective if it materially
changes the economic benefit of the Agreement to either party. Customer acknowledges
that it has not relied on any representations other than those contained in these Terms.
The Agreement shall not be varied, supplemented, qualified, or interpreted by any prior
course of dealing between the parties or by any usage of trade. Customer may not
novate, assign, sublicense or otherwise transfer the Agreement, wholly or partly, or any
portion of the work provided hereunder, without the prior written consent of NOV, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any attempt to assign, sublicense
or transfer all or any part of the Agreement, or any portion of the work provided
hereunder, without first obtaining written consent will be void and of no force or effect.
NOV may assign the Agreement and/or any Order (or any rights and interests
thereunder) to a related company or subcontract the provision of Products (or any portion
thereof) without the prior written consent of Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the permitted successors
and assigns of each party. Articles 1, , 7.j, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 17, 18, and 21 shall survive

If Customer and NOV have agreed in writing to a separate master service agreement or an agreement of similar nature governing NOV's provision of Products ("MSA"), which MSA is in force at the time of the Order and such MSA expressly applies to the applicable Products stated in the Order, the Order will be governed by such MSA. 2. PRICES Prices for Products shall be as stated in the Proposal or Acknowledgment, or if there is no Proposal or Acknowledgment, as otherwise agreed to in writing by NOV. Unless otherwise specified, all prices contained in a Proposal are valid for thirty (30) days from date of issue, based on FCA NOV's premises (INCOTERMS 2010) and are subject to change without notice.

Such taxes, duties, charges, licenses, or fees include but are not limited to any local, state, federal, foreign, or international sales, use, value added tax ("VAT"), goods and services tax ("GST"), rental, import, export, personal property, stamp, excise and like taxes and duties.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer shall provide NOV with a copy of all exporting documents and any other documents reasonably requested by NOV to prove or substantiate to the appropriate tax authorities the Products were timely exported. Withholding Taxes. If Customer is required by any appropriate government department or agency to withhold compensation due NOV to satisfy any obligation of NOV for taxes due, Customer shall give at least 30 days' notice to NOV that Customer will withhold. Customer agrees to pay on a timely basis the amounts so withheld over to the appropriate government department or agency, on behalf of NOV, and to provide NOV with any tax receipts (originals, if possible) or other reliable evidence of payment issued by such government department or agency within 30 days of the date required for withholding. Customer shall not withhold compensation due NOV if NOV produces evidence, acceptable to Customer, that NOV is not subject to the withholding of such taxes. Customer agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold such acceptance. Customer shall reimburse NOV for any taxes withheld for which receipts or other reliable evidence substantiating the remittance of taxes to the appropriate government department or agency are not provided to NOV. Customer's obligation to deliver to NOV tax receipts or other reliable evidence issued by the taxing authority shall not apply if Customer establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of NOV that the appropriate government department or agency does not provide such documentation. Notwithstanding the above, if Customer is required to pay any such taxes or amounts that Customer believes is directly attributable to NOV, Customer shall first provide notice to NOV and give NOV an opportunity to intervene to protect its interest before Customer makes any payment. Protest Rights. If Customer receives any demand or request for payment of any levies, charges, taxes or contributions for which it would seek indemnity or reimbursement from NOV, Customer shall promptly and timely notify the NOV in writing of such demand or request. "Promptly and timely" as used in this sub article means that Customer must notify NOV so that NOV has enough time and a reasonable opportunity to appeal, protest or litigate the levies, charges, taxes or contributions in an appropriate venue. To the extent that Customer fails to give prompt and timely notice, NOV has no obligation to, and will not, reimburse or indemnify Customer for these levies, charges, taxes or contributions. At NOV's request and cost, Customer shall initiate an appeal, protest or litigation in Customer's own name if Customer is the only party that can legally initiate this appeal, protest or litigation. Customer shall allow NOV to control the response to such demand or request and Customer shall use its best efforts to appeal against such demand or request. If Customer is required to pay any levies, charges, taxes or contributions in order to pursue an appeal, protest or litigation, NOV shall reimburse Customer for that amount promptly upon receipt of a written request from Customer. NOV shall not be responsible for any compromise made by Customer without NOV's prior written consent. Cooperation. Customer shall cooperate with NOV, and at the request of NOV, Customer shall use its best efforts to supply to NOV such information (including documentary information) in connection with its activities as may be required by NOV for any of the following purposes: a.

To enable NOV to make any application (including without limitation, any claim for any allowances or relief) or representation in connection with, or to contest any assessment on, or liability of NOV to any taxes, duties, levies, charges and contributions (and any interest or penalties thereon); or d. To secure for NOV any beneficial tax treatment and legally minimize any tax obligations in connection with the Agreement. NOV's request for such information and documents shall allow Customer a reasonable time to prepare, provide and submit that information requested. The obligations set forth above shall exist for a period of six (6) years commencing with the date of agreement by Customer of NOV's final statement of account under the Agreement, and Customer shall retain and shall procure any subcontractor hereunder to retain, all information and documents in connection with its activities under or pursuant to the Agreement as shall enable Customer to comply with the above obligations. 4. PAYMENT TERMS Unless alternate payment terms are specified and agreed to by NOV in writing, all charges, including applicable licensing, packing and transportation costs, billed by NOV are payable within net 30 days of the date of invoice. NOV reserves the right to modify or withdraw credit terms at any time without notice. Unless otherwise specified, all payments are due in the currency specified in the Proposal, Acknowledgment and/or invoice. Interest shall be due from Customer to NOV on overdue accounts at 6% p.a. or the maximum rate allowed by law. Customer must provide notice of any payment dispute within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice or Customer waives any right to dispute such invoice. When partial deliveries are made, Customer will be invoiced as Products are shipped and each invoice will be treated as a separate account and be payable accordingly. Payment is due whether or not technical Documentation and/or any thirdparty certifications are complete at the time of shipment. NOV shall be entitled to recover all reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in the collection of overdue accounts. NOV reserves the right, where a genuine doubt exists as to Customer's financial position or if Customer is in default of any payment obligation, to suspend delivery or performance of any agreement and/or any Order or any part thereof without liability and without prejudice to, and without limitation of, any other remedy available to NOV until Customer cures the default or satisfactory security for payment has been provided. NOV shall have the option to extend the delivery date by a time at least equal to the period of such suspension. In the event of Software or Rental, should Customer default in meeting any of the terms hereunder for any reason, NOV has the right to retrieve all Software and Rentals as detailed in the Agreement and also to collect rental fee and other payments due. If Customer elects to exercise a purchase option for Rental Equipment, Rental charges will be incurred and will be invoiced until the later of (i) the end of the agreed time period that commences on the delivery of the Rental Equipment to Customer and ends upon its return to NOV's premises ("Rental Period"); or (ii) 30 days prior to the receipt of total purchase price and all other Rental amounts due. 5. DELIVERY Unless otherwise agreed to by NOV in writing, delivery terms shall be FCA NOV's premises (INCOTERMS 2010). Software may be delivered electronically. Where Equipment is to be supplied from stock, such supply is subject to availability of stocks at the date of delivery. Partial shipments may be made as agreed to by Customer and NOV. Stated delivery dates are approximate only and cannot be guaranteed. NOV shall have no liability for damages arising out of the failure to keep a projected delivery date, irrespective of the length of the delay. In the event Customer is unable to accept delivery of Equipment when tendered, NOV may, at its option, arrange for storage of the Equipment, at Customer's sole risk, and Customer shall be liable to NOV for the reasonable cost of such storage. This provision is without prejudice to any other rights which NOV may have with respect to Customer's failure to take delivery of Equipment, which includes the right to invoice Customer for the Equipment. Customer is responsible for all shipping costs from NOV's premises to the location as designated by Customer. All shipping costs for the return of Equipment from the location specified by Customer to NOV's premises shall also be for Customer's account. 6. TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS For purchased Equipment, ownership and risk of loss or damage pass to Customer upon the earlier of NOV's delivery of the Products, or (b) invoicing by NOV for the Products where Customer is unable to accept delivery on the scheduled date. NOV retains a security interest in the Products until the purchase price has been paid. Customer agrees to provide NOV a first-priority and cross-collateralized security interest in all Products supplied by NOV under the same Agreement and the proceeds thereof and perform upon request all acts required to secure NOV's interest including but not limited to executing all documents necessary to memorialize, record and perfect NOV's said security interest. NOV accepts no responsibility for any damage, shortage or loss in transit. NOV will attempt to pack or prepare all shipments so that they will not break, rust or deteriorate in shipment, but NOV does not guarantee against such damage. Claims for any damage, shortage or loss in transit must be made by Customer on the carrier. In the event of Rental, Customer assumes all risk and liability whether or not covered by insurance, for loss or damage to the Rental Equipment upon delivery by NOV. Title to Rental Equipment shall remain with NOV at all times. Customer acquires no ownership, title or property rights to the Rental Equipment except the right to use the Rental Equipment subject to the terms of the Agreement during the Rental Period. 8. CHANGES NOV expressly reserves the right to change, discontinue or modify the design and manufacture of Products without obligation to furnish, retrofit, support or install products previously or subsequently sold. Irrespective of anything stated to the contrary elsewhere, if, on or after the date of the issuance of the Proposal, there shall be any change in (i) the level or in the incidence, or any new incidence or abolition, of any tax applicable to the Agreement or any Order issued hereunder, which are by law payable by NOV hereunder in respect of its employees working under the Agreement or any Order issued hereunder or in respect of NOV's activities under the Agreement or an Order hereunder, the net amount of such change or new incidence or abolition shall constitute an addition or reduction (in line with the law change) to the sums payable to NOV under the Agreement, including taxes which Customer is required by law to deduct at source from the payment to NOV, provided NOV has submitted documentation to Customer of the net impact and additional cost arising from a change in tax law, or (ii) in applicable laws, decrees, rulings, practices or regulations, or any changes in the interpretation of same are made, published or become effective after the date of the issuance of NOV's Proposal, or other circumstances beyond NOV's reasonable control, and if it is demonstrated that such changes cause additional or increased costs to NOV's performance and/or impact the delivery schedule, NOV shall be entitled to extension of any delivery date and/or any such additional costs. 9. PRIVACY & CUSTOMER DATA Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Products may contain certain data logging functionality, including as part of the Services, and consents to the collection and sending of such data generated by the data logging functionality to NOV Group. As between Customer and NOV, Customer owns all data and information generated by the data logging functionality provided by or on behalf of Customer Group or otherwise collected via the Services ("Customer Data"). Customer grants to NOV Group a non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, transferable, world-wide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, and without the right of attribution, right and license for the NOV Group to use and create derivative works of and from the Customer Data for its business purposes, provided that NOV Group will not use or disclose Customer Data in a manner that would identify Customer or Customer Data provided, however, that NOV may disclose Customer Data if NOV determines that such disclosure is legally required or is necessary to protect NOV's rights or for the party. Customer shall not knowingly send to or store in the Products any viruses, worms, Trojan horses or other harmful code, or data which violates the rights of any individual or entity. NOV SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR THE DELETION, CORRUPTION, CORRECTION, DESTRUCTION, DAMAGE, LOSS, OR FAILURE OF ANY CUSTOMER DATA OR OTHER DATA. 10. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS The Products, including all applicable ideas, methods, algorithms, formulae and concepts used in developing and/or incorporated into the Products, all future Updates, Upgrades and all derivative works (as such term is used in the U.S. copyright laws) based upon any of the foregoing and all copies of the foregoing are the proprietary and intellectual property rights and trade secrets of NOV, having significant commercial value to NOV. Except with respect to the sale of Equipment, title to all Products shall be and remain exclusively with NOV. NOV may freely use any suggestions or recommendations for improvements or modifications to the Products made by or on behalf of Customer without attribution except to the extent necessary to register NOV's intellectual property rights under US law or other applicable law, or the need for NOV or any third party to pay Customer or any third party any royalties or other fees of any kind. No intellectual property or other ownership rights to any Products are transferred to Customer by virtue of these Terms. Except with respect to the sale of Equipment, all Products in Customers' possession are licensed to Customer during the term of the applicable Order. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved to NOV. NOV retains all rights, title and interest in and to any Insights provided or created by the Services or the NOV Group. Insights are derived from Customer Data and NOV Group's aggregated database and processed via the Services. The Customer is hereby granted the right to use any such Insights provided to Customer by NOV in connection with Customer's, and to the extent applicable, End Users' use of the Products for Customer's internal use only. Subject to NOV's rights set forth herein, Customer retains all rights, title and interest in Customer's analysis of the Insights. Subject to these Terms, NOV grants Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, personal, non-sublicensable limited license during the term set forth in the Proposal (or if no term is set forth therein, for a term of one (1) year after delivery of the applicable Product, excluding any embedded Software, which license shall be for the life of the Equipment containing the embedded Software) to access and use the Software solely in connection with the Products, subject to and in accordance with any licensed metrics and other scope limitations that may be set forth in the Proposal. Certain Products may be subject to additional or different terms, which shall be identified in the applicable Proposal or Acknowledgement or as otherwise set forth in writing. Customer may not install embedded Software on any hardware other than the Equipment such embedded Software was provided with. Software may only be used by Customer for Customer's ordinary business or to provide training to Customer's employees, contractors, and/or consultants in connection with operation of the Equipment ("End Users"). Customer will ensure that each End User of the Software has agreed in writing, prior to using the Software, to be legally bound by a written agreement between Customer and an End User governing that End User's use of the Software, which must include terms and conditions that are substantially similar to these Terms ("EULA"). Customer is responsible for ensuring End Users' compliance and remains fully liable for any failure of any End User to do so. Each EULA must provide that NOV is a third-party beneficiary with the right to enforce the terms therein, a disclaimer of liability that waives all End Users' claims against NOV and include the protection of NOV's intellectual property. Customer may not include any provisions in the EULA that impose obligations, liabilities or restrictions on NOV that are not expressly set forth herein or as otherwise agreed to by NOV, in writing. To the extent Customer agrees to different, additional or expanded obligations, liabilities or restrictions, Customer shall be solely responsible for such additional obligations and liabilities, and NOV shall have no obligations or liabilities with respect thereto. Certain portions of the Software may contain source code subject to the terms of public, free and open source licenses (the "Open Source Software"), including, without limitation, the GNU Lesser General Public License (collectively, the "Open Source Licenses"). The Open Source Licenses are included in the Documentation for the Software or available upon Customer's request. To the extent that these Terms differ from the Open Source Licenses, these Terms are offered by NOV alone and not by any other party. Unless expressly addressed in the Proposal, these Terms do not replace or alter Customer's rights or obligations under the Open Source Licenses with respect to the Open Source Software. NOV shall make available to Customer, for no charge, updates to the Software that NOV publishes that are directed to maintaining the operation of Equipment in accordance with the Documentation ("Updates"). NOV may also offer Upgrades (as defined below) to Customer. Subject to the terms hereof, Customer is solely responsible for the installation of all Updates and Upgrades, provided, however, that NOV shall, at no charge to Customer, provide reasonable remote assistance with installation of the Updates. "Upgrade" means a release or version of the Software containing functional enhancements, extensions, error corrections or fixes that NOV makes available to its customers for a fee, or, where Customer is enrolled in a NOV maintenance and support program expressly covering Software, generally free of charge. Each Update and Upgrade includes associated Documentation, to the extent applicable. In the event that remote support is requested by Customer, Customer agrees to provide all access to Customer systems and related assistance as NOV or its agents may require. Any support services shall be billed at NOV's then standard rates plus costs. Subject to these Terms, and, to the extent applicable, the terms of a separate development agreement, NOV may license for Customer's use the API solely to enable Customer's applications to interact with the Software and retrieve information necessary to facilitate Customer's use of the Software through Customer's applications. NOV provides the API for the convenience of the Customer, and CUSTOMER AGREES THAT ITS USE OF THE API IS AT CUSTOMER'S SOLE RISK AND LIABILITY. THE API IS PROVIDED TO CUSTOMER "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY. Customer shall, and shall cause any End User to (i) comply with any applicable laws, regulations, industry standards and third party rights in connection with Customer's access to and use of the Software and APIs; (ii) use commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to protect user information collected by Customer's applications, including personally identifiable information, from unauthorized access or use (including through the maintenance of a commercially reasonable, accurate and not misleading privacy policy describing such principles) and will promptly report to End Users using Customer's applications, to the extent required by applicable law, and to NOV details of any unauthorized access or use of such information; (iii) display any attribution(s) required by NOV as described in the documentation for the Software and APIs in accordance with the Agreement and only for the purpose of fulfilling Customer's obligations under this sub article; and (iv) not make any statement regarding Customer's use of the Software or APIs which suggests partnership with, sponsorship by, or endorsement by NOV without our prior written consent. Customer shall not, and shall not permit any End-Users to: (i) transfer, assign, sublicense, make available, or permit any third party to access or use the Software; (ii) use the Software on hardware other than the Equipment or for any unauthorized purpose; (iii) decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, or otherwise attempt to derive the trade secrets embodied in the Products; (iv) remove or modify any copyright, trademark, proprietary rights, disclaimer, or warning notice included on or embedded in any part of the Products, including any screen displays, etc., or any other products or materials provided by NOV hereunder; (v) publish any results of benchmark tests run on the Software; (vi) use the Products or any NOV Confidential Information to develop a competing product or service; (vii) use any Confidential Information disclosed by NOV to dispute the validity of any NOV intellectual property rights, including those comprising the Products; or (viii) represent to any End User or third party that Customer is the creator or developer of the Products. If applicable law permits Customer to engage in any such activities notwithstanding these Terms, Customer will provide NOV with advance written notice and reasonably detailed information concerning Customer's intentions in that regard. NOV has the right to monitor use of the Software. Customer will not attempt to block, disguise, obscure, or otherwise interfere with any such monitoring. NOV shall have the right at its own expense, to be exercised no more than once in any calendar quarter, to audit or have audited Customer's compliance with the Agreement. Customer shall maintain all appropriate records necessary to conduct such audit. In the event that the audit reveals that Customer has violated the limitations on its license hereunder, Customer agrees to reimburse NOV for the cost of the audit and will also pay additional fees attributable to the number of unauthorized Products, vessels, drilling or production units or other properties and/or End Users revealed by the audit. All Services provided to Customer are conditioned on Customer's continued compliance with the Agreement. Notwithstanding any other remedies available to NOV at law, in equity, or otherwise, the Services may immediately and automatically be suspended or terminated, at NOV's sole discretion, if Customer fails to comply with any terms of the Agreement. In the event of termination of the Agreement or expiry of Services, all licenses granted therein shall also terminate and Customer shall cease all use of the Products, excluding any fully paid for Equipment, and Customer shall return or destroy, in NOV's sole discretion, all Software, Documentation, and any NOV Confidential Information (as defined below). Upon NOV's request, Customer shall provide an "affidavit of destruction" acceptable to NOV certifying compliance with the foregoing. 11. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION Each party recognizes and acknowledges that it shall (a) maintain all data, information, disclosures, documents, drawings, specifications, patterns, calculations, software, applications, technical information and other documents (collectively, "Confidential Information") obtained from the other party in strict confidence, (b) use Confidential Information only for the purposes set forth in the Agreement, (c) limit dissemination of Confidential Information to its officers, employees, subcontractors and consultants who have a "need to know" and who have agreed not to disclose such Confidential Information, (d) not otherwise disclose any Confidential Information, or permit any third party to examine or copy any Confidential Information, without the disclosing party's prior written consent, and (e) advise the disclosing party promptly in writing of any unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information. The receiving party shall be liable for any breach of this Article 11 by any of its employees, agents or any other person who obtains access to or possession of any of the disclosing party's Confidential Information from or through the receiving party. Each party acknowledges that the restrictions in this Article 11 are reasonable and necessary to protect the other party's legitimate business interests. Each party acknowledges that any breach of any of the provisions of Articles 10 or 11 shall result in irreparable injury to the non-breaching party for which money damages could not adequately compensate. If there is a breach, then non-breaching party shall be entitled, in addition to all other rights and remedies which it may have at law or in equity, to have a decree of specific performance or an injunction issued by any competent court, requiring the breach to be cured or enjoining all persons involved from continuing the breach. The existence of any claim or cause of action that a party or any other person may have against the other party shall not constitute a defense or bar to the enforcement of any of the provisions of this Article 11. For the avoidance of doubt, training material, Software and APIs are Confidential Information of NOV. Notwithstanding the above, this Article 11 shall not deprive the receiving party of the right to use or disclose any Confidential Information: (a) which is, at the time of disclosure, known to the public; (b) which becomes at a later date known to the public through no fault of the receiving party ; (c) which is possessed by the receiving party, as evidenced by such party's written records, before receipt thereof from the disclosing party; (d) which is disclosed to the receiving party in good faith by a third party who has an independent right to such information; (e) which is developed by the receiving party as evidenced by documentation, independently of the Confidential Information; or, (f) which is required to be disclosed by the receiving party pursuant to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental agency having the power to order such disclosure, provided that the receiving party uses its best efforts to provide timely notice of such order to the disclosing party to permit the disclosing party an opportunity to contest such order. Customer agrees: (a) to use the information provided by NOV in connection with Insights only in connection with these Terms and permitted use(s) and maintenance of Products; and (b) such information shall be Confidential Information of NOV and Customer shall prevent disclosure of such information, except to its employees, agents or financing parties who have a need to know for Customer to perform its obligations under the Agreement or to use and maintain the Products. 12. FORCE MAJEURE If either party is unable by reason of Force Majeure to carry out any of its obligations under the Agreement, other than the obligations to pay money when due and indemnification obligations assumed hereunder, then on such party giving notice and particulars in writing to the other party within a reasonable time after such party's knowledge of the occurrence of the cause relied upon, such obligations shall be suspended. "Force Majeure" shall include acts of God, laws and regulations, government actions, war, civil disturbances, strikes and labor problems, delays of vendors, carriers, lightening, fire, flood, washout, storm, breakage or accident to equipment or machinery, shortage of raw materials, internet or telecommunications failures, network intrusions, denial of service attacks, and any other causes that are not reasonably within the control of the party so affected.

RETURN OF MADE TO STOCK PARTS With NOV's written approval, unused, incorrectly shipped or "Made to Stock" parts ordered incorrectly, in new condition and of current manufacture and catalog specifications may be returned by Customer for credit (subject to a restocking fee), provided written request is received within one (1) year after the purchase date. Except for "Made to Stock" parts as set forth above in this Article 16, no Products are returnable for credit and such Products shall only be accepted for return with the prior written agreement of NOV. Requests for return of "Made to Stock" parts must show the original Order number, invoice number, description of material, and date of purchase. Return of Products does not relieve Customer of the obligation to make payment against NOV's invoice, and any credit or refund allowed will be issued only following NOV's receipt of the Products and payment therefor. The credit allowed on returned Products, if any, is a merchandise credit and is applicable only against future purchases of NOV Products as agreed by NOV.

The number of arbitrators shall be three unless the Claim does not exceed an amount of ONE MILLION U.S. DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00 USD), in which case the number of arbitrators shall be one. The seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be London, England and shall be conducted in the English language. Judgment upon any award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Except as may be required by law, neither party nor its representatives may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party. For Products provided, or to be provided, or where an Order is accepted or fulfilled, by a NOV entity registered in the America's, the Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Texas, excluding conflicts and choice of law principles. Any dispute, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Agreement must be brought in a state or federal court sitting in Harris County, Texas, and each of the parties hereby agrees to irrevocably submit itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such action or proceeding and waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to venue or convenience of forum. 18. REGULATORY COMPLIANCE NOV and Customer shall conduct its operations in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and decrees of any governmental or regulatory body having jurisdiction over the parties, the Products and/or the worksite where the work in connection with the Agreement and the relevant Order is being performed, including but not limited to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act 1977, the United Kingdom Bribery Act 2010, and such other similar anti-corruption laws as may apply; provided that nothing in the Agreement is intended or should be construed to require NOV or Customer to act or fail to act if such action or failure to act would be inconsistent with or penalized by (i) the laws and regulations of NOV's or Customer's country of incorporation and/or (ii) the laws and regulations of the country of incorporation of any direct, indirect or ultimate parent company of NOV or Customer. By acceptance of delivery of Goods or performance of Services under this Agreement, Customer warrants and certifies that Products acquired from and/or products serviced by NOV will not be sold, exported, reexported, transferred, consigned, leased, rented, diverted or otherwise disposed of in violation of: (i) the U.S. Export Administration Regulations; (ii) the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR); (iii) the provisions of the Chemical Weapons Convention; (iv) applicable U.S. sanctions and embargoes administered by the U.S. Department of Treasury; or (v) any other applicable laws and regulations.

Alternatively, NOV may suspend performance of all Services and/or Products under this Agreement and any Order with immediate effect on written notice to Customer. In the event of such suspension, Customer shall have a period of 30 days (the "Suspension Period") to demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of NOV, acting in good faith, that no breach has occurred.

In all cases where NOV's employees (defined to include NOV's and its subcontractors, direct, borrowed, special, or statutory employees) are covered by the Louisiana Worker's Compensation Act. La. R.S. 23:102 et seg., NOV and Customer agreed that all Products provided by NOV and NOV's employees pursuant to the Agreement are an integral part of and are essential to the ability of Customer to generate Customer's goods, products, and services for the purpose of La. R.S. 23:106(A) (1). Furthermore, NOV and Customer agree that Customer is the statutory employer of all of NOV's employees for the purpose of La. R.S. 23:1061(A) (3). 20. ADDITIONAL RENTAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS Unless otherwise indicated, the Rental rates contained in NOV's Proposal are on a per day basis and such rates shall apply to each piece of Rental Equipment rented. NOV represents that it has fully inspected the Rental Equipment as detailed in the applicable Order and that said Rental Equipment is in good condition and repair and is fully acceptable for use as specified in the applicable Order. Furthermore, NOV represents that the Rental Equipment and parts are not subject to any encumbrances or liens, and that NOV has full title to such Rental Equipment. Customer represents and warrants that it shall use the Rental Equipment in a careful and proper manner and shall comply with all laws, ordinances and regulations relating to the possession, use and maintenance of the Rental Equipment in accordance with NOV's approved procedures. In the event the parties agree that Customer shall operate the Rental Equipment, Customer further represents that the Rental Equipment will be operated by skilled employees trained in the use of the Rental Equipment. Customer shall keep the Rental Equipment free and clear of all liens and encumbrances arising in connection with Customer's operations and/or use of the Rental Equipment.

GENERAL The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with regards to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and incorporates all prior or contemporaneous representations, understandings or agreements, and may not be modified or amended except by an agreement in writing signed between the parties hereto. Failure of NOV to enforce any of the terms and conditions of the Agreement shall not prevent a subsequent enforcement of such terms and conditions or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach.

Equipment, Services, Rental and Documentation collectively are referred to as the "Products," as applicable. "API" means the application programming interface, including any programmatic web APIs and associated tools, protocols, data and documentation set forth in the Proposal. " Software" means the software identified in the Proposal or Acknowledgment, including without limitation, any application software, systems software, embedded software, and firmware. With respect to Software, the term "purchase" or "sale" refers to and means a "license" or "right to use," and under no circumstances be interpreted as the transfer of property or title to software. Customer's submission of an Order shall be deemed to be an express acceptance of these Terms notwithstanding language in the Order inconsistent herewith or additional hereto, and any inconsistent or additional language in an Order is hereby rejected. The Order is incorporated in the Agreement, only to the extent of specifying the nature and description of the Products and then only to the extent consistent with the Proposal or Acknowledgment. In the event of any conflict between a Proposal and an Acknowledgement, the Acknowledgment shall prevail. If Customer and NOV have agreed in writing to a separate master service agreement or an agreement of similar nature governing NOV's provision of Products ("MSA"), which MSA is in force at the time of the Order and such MSA expressly applies to the applicable Products stated in the Order, the Order will be governed by such MSA. 2. PRICES Prices for Products shall be as stated in the Proposal or Acknowledgment, or if there is no Proposal or Acknowledgment, as otherwise agreed to in writing by NOV. Unless otherwise specified, all prices contained in a Proposal are valid for thirty (30) days from date of issue, based on FCA NOV's premises (INCOTERMS 2010) and are subject to change without notice. NOV bears no responsibility for any consular fees, fees for legalizing invoices, certificates of origin, stamping bills of lading, or other charges required by the laws of any country of destination, or any fines, penalties or interest imposed due to incorrect declarations. Customer shall reimburse NOV for all reasonable expenses incurred while performing the Services, including travel, lodging and supplies. Charges will be added for factory preparation and packaging for shipment. Minimum freight and invoice charges in effect at the time of the Order shall apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prices will be subject to increase in the event of an increase in NOV's costs, government action, or other circumstances beyond NOV's reasonable control. 3. TAXES Transaction Taxes. In addition to the charges due under the Agreement, Customer shall be responsible for, and shall protect, indemnify, Defend and hold NOV harmless from and against the reporting, filing and payment of any taxes, duties, charges, licenses, or fees (and any related fines, penalties or interest and the like) imposed directly on Customer as a result of the Agreement and all liabilities, costs, and associated expenses (including lawyers' and experts' fees) which may be incurred in connection therewith. Such taxes, duties, charges, licenses, or fees include but are not limited to any local, state, federal, foreign, or international sales, use, value added tax ("VAT"), goods and services tax ("GST"), rental, import, export, personal property, stamp, excise and like taxes and duties. If NOV pays any such tax, Customer shall, within thirty (30) days of NOV's demand, reimburse NOV for the tax including interest, fines, and penalties, paid by the NOV. It shall be Customer's sole obligation after payment to NOV to challenge the applicability of any tax. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer shall provide NOV with a copy of all exporting documents and any other documents reasonably requested by NOV to prove or substantiate to the appropriate tax authorities the Products were timely exported. Withholding Taxes. If Customer is required by any appropriate government department or agency to withhold compensation due NOV to satisfy any obligation of NOV for taxes due, Customer shall give at least 30 days' notice to NOV that Customer will withhold. Customer agrees to pay on a timely basis the amounts so withheld over to the appropriate government department or agency, on behalf of NOV, and to provide NOV with any tax receipts (originals, if possible) or other reliable evidence of payment issued by such government department or agency within 30 days of the date required for withholding. Customer shall not withhold compensation due NOV if NOV produces evidence, acceptable to Customer, that NOV is not subject to the withholding of such taxes. Customer agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold such acceptance. Customer shall reimburse NOV for any taxes withheld for which receipts or other reliable evidence substantiating the remittance of taxes to the appropriate government department or agency are not provided to NOV. Customer's obligation to deliver to NOV tax receipts or other reliable evidence issued by the taxing authority shall not apply if Customer establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of NOV that the appropriate government department or agency does not provide such documentation. Notwithstanding the above, if Customer is required to pay any such taxes or amounts that Customer believes is directly attributable to NOV, Customer shall first provide notice to NOV and give NOV an opportunity to intervene to protect its interest before Customer makes any payment. Protest Rights. If Customer receives any demand or request for payment of any levies, charges, taxes or contributions for which it would seek indemnity or reimbursement from NOV, Customer shall promptly and timely notify the NOV in writing of such demand or request. "Promptly and timely" as used in this sub article means that Customer must notify NOV so that NOV has enough time and a reasonable opportunity to appeal, protest or litigate the levies, charges, taxes or contributions in an appropriate venue. To the extent that Customer fails to give prompt and timely notice, NOV has no obligation to, and will not, reimburse or indemnify Customer for these levies, charges, taxes or contributions. At NOV's request and cost, Customer shall initiate an appeal, protest or litigation in Customer's own name if Customer is the only party that can legally initiate this appeal, protest or litigation. Customer shall allow NOV to control the response to such demand or request and Customer shall use its best efforts to appeal against such demand or request. If Customer is required to pay any levies, charges, taxes or contributions in order to pursue an appeal, protest or litigation, NOV shall reimburse Customer for that amount promptly upon receipt of a written request from Customer. NOV shall not be responsible for any compromise made by Customer without NOV's prior written consent. Cooperation. Customer shall cooperate with NOV, and at the request of NOV, Customer shall use its best efforts to supply to NOV such information (including documentary information) in connection with its activities as may be required by NOV for any of the following purposes: a. To enable NOV to comply with the lawful demand or requirement for such information by any appropriate government authority or to ensure that all requirements of the applicable law are being complied with; b. To enable NOV to conduct, defend, negotiate or settle any claim arising out of, or in connection with, such activities, whether or not such claim shall have become the subject of arbitration or judicial proceedings; c. To enable NOV to make any application (including without limitation, any claim for any allowances or relief) or representation in connection with, or to contest any assessment on, or liability of NOV to any taxes, duties, levies, charges and contributions (and any interest or penalties thereon); or d. To secure for NOV any beneficial tax treatment and legally minimize any tax obligations in connection with the Agreement. NOV's request for such information and documents shall allow Customer a reasonable time to prepare, provide and submit that information requested. The obligations set forth above shall exist for a period of six (6) years commencing with the date of agreement by Customer of NOV's final statement of account under the Agreement, and Customer shall retain and shall procure any subcontractor hereunder to retain, all information and documents in connection with its activities under or pursuant to the Agreement as shall enable Customer to comply with the above obligations. 4. PAYMENT TERMS Unless alternate payment terms are specified and agreed to by NOV in writing, all charges, including applicable licensing, packing and transportation costs, billed by NOV are payable within net 30 days of the date of invoice. NOV reserves the right to modify or withdraw credit terms at any time without notice. Unless otherwise specified, all payments are due in the currency specified in the Proposal, Acknowledgment and/or invoice. Interest shall be due from Customer to NOV on overdue accounts at 6% p.a. or the maximum rate allowed by law. Customer must provide notice of any payment dispute within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice or Customer waives any right to dispute such invoice. When partial deliveries are made, Customer will be invoiced as Products are shipped and each invoice will be treated as a separate account and be payable accordingly. Payment is due whether or not technical Documentation and/or any thirdparty certifications are complete at the time of shipment. NOV shall be entitled to recover all reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in the collection of overdue accounts. NOV reserves the right, where a genuine doubt exists as to Customer's financial position or if Customer is in default of any payment obligation, to suspend delivery or performance of any agreement and/or any Order or any part thereof without liability and without prejudice to, and without limitation of, any other remedy available to NOV until Customer cures the default or satisfactory security for payment has been provided. NOV shall have the option to extend the delivery date by a time at least equal to the period of such suspension. In the event of Software or Rental, should Customer default in meeting any of the terms hereunder for any reason, NOV has the right to retrieve all Software and Rentals as detailed in the Agreement and also to collect rental fee and other payments due. If Customer elects to exercise a purchase option for Rental Equipment, Rental charges will be incurred and will be invoiced until the later of (i) the end of the agreed time period that commences on the delivery of the Rental Equipment to Customer and ends upon its return to NOV's premises ("Rental Period"); or (ii) 30 days prior to the receipt of total purchase price and all other Rental amounts due. 5. DELIVERY Unless otherwise agreed to by NOV in writing, delivery terms shall be FCA NOV's premises (INCOTERMS 2010). Software may be delivered electronically. Where Equipment is to be supplied from stock, such supply is subject to availability of stocks at the date of delivery. Partial shipments may be made as agreed to by Customer and NOV. Stated delivery dates are approximate only and cannot be guaranteed. NOV shall have no liability for damages arising out of the failure to keep a projected delivery date, irrespective of the length of the delay. In the event Customer is unable to accept delivery of Equipment when tendered, NOV may, at its option, arrange for storage of the Equipment, at Customer's sole risk, and Customer shall be liable to NOV for the reasonable cost of such storage. This provision is without prejudice to any other rights which NOV may have with respect to Customer's failure to take delivery of Equipment, which includes the right to invoice Customer for the Equipment. Customer is responsible for all shipping costs from NOV's premises to the location as designated by Customer. All shipping costs for the return of Equipment from the location specified by Customer to NOV's premises shall also be for Customer's account. 6. TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS For purchased Equipment, ownership and risk of loss or damage pass to Customer upon the earlier of NOV's delivery of the Products, or (b) invoicing by NOV for the Products where Customer is unable to accept delivery on the scheduled date. NOV retains a security interest in the Products until the purchase price has been paid. Customer agrees to provide NOV a first-priority and cross-collateralized security interest in all Products supplied by NOV under the same Agreement and the proceeds thereof and perform upon request all acts required to secure NOV's interest including but not limited to executing all documents necessary to memorialize, record and perfect NOV's said security interest. NOV accepts no responsibility for any damage, shortage or loss in transit. NOV will attempt to pack or prepare all shipments so that they will not break, rust or deteriorate in shipment, but NOV does not guarantee against such damage. Claims for any damage, shortage or loss in transit must be made by Customer on the carrier. In the event of Rental, Customer assumes all risk and liability whether or not covered by insurance, for loss or damage to the Rental Equipment upon delivery by NOV. Title to Rental Equipment shall remain with NOV at all times. Customer acquires no ownership, title or property rights to the Rental Equipment except the right to use the Rental Equipment subject to the terms of the Agreement during the Rental Period. 8. CHANGES NOV expressly reserves the right to change, discontinue or modify the design and manufacture of Products without obligation to furnish, retrofit, support or install products previously or subsequently sold. Irrespective of anything stated to the contrary elsewhere, if, on or after the date of the issuance of the Proposal, there shall be any change in (i) the level or in the incidence, or any new incidence or abolition, of any tax applicable to the Agreement or any Order issued hereunder, which are by law payable by NOV hereunder in respect of its employees working under the Agreement or any Order issued hereunder or in respect of NOV's activities under the Agreement or an Order hereunder, the net amount of such change or new incidence or abolition shall constitute an addition or reduction (in line with the law change) to the sums payable to NOV under the Agreement, including taxes which Customer is required by law to deduct at source from the payment to NOV, provided NOV has submitted documentation to Customer of the net impact and additional cost arising from a change in tax law, or (ii) in applicable laws, decrees, rulings, practices or regulations, or any changes in the interpretation of same are made, published or become effective after the date of the issuance of NOV's Proposal, or other circumstances beyond NOV's reasonable control, and if it is demonstrated that such changes cause additional or increased costs to NOV's performance and/or impact the delivery schedule, NOV shall be entitled to extension of any delivery date and/or any such additional costs. 9. PRIVACY & CUSTOMER DATA Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Products may contain certain data logging functionality, including as part of the Services, and consents to the collection and sending of such data generated by the data logging functionality to NOV Group. As between Customer and NOV, Customer owns all data and information generated by the data logging functionality provided by or on behalf of Customer Group or otherwise collected via the Services ("Customer Data"). Customer grants to NOV Group a non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, transferable, world-wide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, and without the right of attribution, right and license for the NOV Group to use and create derivative works of and from the Customer Data for its business purposes, provided that NOV Group will not use or disclose Customer Data in a manner that would identify Customer or Customer Data provided, however, that NOV may disclose Customer Data if NOV determines that such disclosure is legally required or is necessary to protect NOV's rights or for the party. Customer shall not knowingly send to or store in the Products any viruses, worms, Trojan horses or other harmful code, or data which violates the rights of any individual or entity. NOV SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR THE DELETION, CORRUPTION, CORRECTION, DESTRUCTION, DAMAGE, LOSS, OR FAILURE OF ANY CUSTOMER DATA OR OTHER DATA. 10. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS The Products, including all applicable ideas, methods, algorithms, formulae and concepts used in developing and/or incorporated into the Products, all future Updates, Upgrades and all derivative works (as such term is used in the U.S. copyright laws) based upon any of the foregoing and all copies of the foregoing are the proprietary and intellectual property rights and trade secrets of NOV, having significant commercial value to NOV. Except with respect to the sale of Equipment, title to all Products shall be and remain exclusively with NOV. NOV may freely use any suggestions or recommendations for improvements or modifications to the Products made by or on behalf of Customer without attribution except to the extent necessary to register NOV's intellectual property rights under US law or other applicable law, or the need for NOV or any third party to pay Customer or any third party any royalties or other fees of any kind. No intellectual property or other ownership rights to any Products are transferred to Customer by virtue of these Terms. Except with respect to the sale of Equipment, all Products in Customers' possession are licensed to Customer during the term of the applicable Order. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved to NOV. NOV retains all rights, title and interest in and to any Insights provided or created by the Services or the NOV Group. Insights are derived from Customer Data and NOV Group's aggregated database and processed via the Services. The Customer is hereby granted the right to use any such Insights provided to Customer by NOV in connection with Customer's, and to the extent applicable, End Users' use of the Products for Customer's internal use only. Subject to NOV's rights set forth herein, Customer retains all rights, title and interest in Customer's analysis of the Insights. Subject to these Terms, NOV grants Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, personal, non-sublicensable limited license during the term set forth in the Proposal (or if no term is set forth therein, for a term of one (1) year after delivery of the applicable Product, excluding any embedded Software, which license shall be for the life of the Equipment containing the embedded Software) to access and use the Software solely in connection with the Products, subject to and in accordance with any licensed metrics and other scope limitations that may be set forth in the Proposal. Certain Products may be subject to additional or different terms, which shall be identified in the applicable Proposal or Acknowledgement or as otherwise set forth in writing. Customer may not install embedded Software on any hardware other than the Equipment such embedded Software was provided with. Software may only be used by Customer for Customer's ordinary business or to provide training to Customer's employees, contractors, and/or consultants in connection with operation of the Equipment ("End Users"). Customer will ensure that each End User of the Software has agreed in writing, prior to using the Software, to be legally bound by a written agreement between Customer and an End User governing that End User's use of the Software, which must include terms and conditions that are substantially similar to these Terms ("EULA"). Customer is responsible for ensuring End Users' compliance and remains fully liable for any failure of any End User to do so. Each EULA must provide that NOV is a third-party beneficiary with the right to enforce the terms therein, a disclaimer of liability that waives all End Users' claims against NOV and include the protection of NOV's intellectual property. Customer may not include any provisions in the EULA that impose obligations, liabilities or restrictions on NOV that are not expressly set forth herein or as otherwise agreed to by NOV, in writing. To the extent Customer agrees to different, additional or expanded obligations, liabilities or restrictions, Customer shall be solely responsible for such additional obligations and liabilities, and NOV shall have no obligations or liabilities with respect thereto. Certain portions of the Software may contain source code subject to the terms of public, free and open source licenses (the "Open Source Software"), including, without limitation, the GNU Lesser General Public License (collectively, the "Open Source Licenses"). The Open Source Licenses are included in the Documentation for the Software or available upon Customer's request. To the extent that these Terms differ from the Open Source Licenses, these Terms are offered by NOV alone and not by any other party. Unless expressly addressed in the Proposal, these Terms do not replace or alter Customer's rights or obligations under the Open Source Licenses with respect to the Open Source Software. NOV shall make available to Customer, for no charge, updates to the Software that NOV publishes that are directed to maintaining the operation of Equipment in accordance with the Documentation ("Updates"). NOV may also offer Upgrades (as defined below) to Customer. Subject to the terms hereof, Customer is solely responsible for the installation of all Updates and Upgrades, provided, however, that NOV shall, at no charge to Customer, provide reasonable remote assistance with installation of the Updates. "Upgrade" means a release or version of the Software containing functional enhancements, extensions, error corrections or fixes that NOV makes available to its customers for a fee, or, where Customer is enrolled in a NOV maintenance and support program expressly covering Software, generally free of charge. Each Update and Upgrade includes associated Documentation, to the extent applicable. In the event that remote support is requested by Customer, Customer agrees to provide all access to Customer systems and related assistance as NOV or its agents may require. Any support services shall be billed at NOV's then standard rates plus costs. Subject to these Terms, and, to the extent applicable, the terms of a separate development agreement, NOV may license for Customer's use the API solely to enable Customer's applications to interact with the Software and retrieve information necessary to facilitate Customer's use of the Software through Customer's applications. NOV provides the API for the convenience of the Customer, and CUSTOMER AGREES THAT ITS USE OF THE API IS AT CUSTOMER'S SOLE RISK AND LIABILITY. THE API IS PROVIDED TO CUSTOMER "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY. Customer shall, and shall cause any End User to (i) comply with any applicable laws, regulations, industry standards and third party rights in connection with Customer's access to and use of the Software and APIs; (ii) use commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to protect user information collected by Customer's applications, including personally identifiable information, from unauthorized access or use (including through the maintenance of a commercially reasonable, accurate and not misleading privacy policy describing such principles) and will promptly report to End Users using Customer's applications, to the extent required by applicable law, and to NOV details of any unauthorized access or use of such information; (iii) display any attribution(s) required by NOV as described in the documentation for the Software and APIs in accordance with the Agreement and only for the purpose of fulfilling Customer's obligations under this sub article; and (iv) not make any statement regarding Customer's use of the Software or APIs which suggests partnership with, sponsorship by, or endorsement by NOV without our prior written consent. Customer shall not, and shall not permit any End-Users to: (i) transfer, assign, sublicense, make available, or permit any third party to access or use the Software; (ii) use the Software on hardware other than the Equipment or for any unauthorized purpose; (iii) decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, or otherwise attempt to derive the trade secrets embodied in the Products; (iv) remove or modify any copyright, trademark, proprietary rights, disclaimer, or warning notice included on or embedded in any part of the Products, including any screen displays, etc., or any other products or materials provided by NOV hereunder; (v) publish any results of benchmark tests run on the Software; (vi) use the Products or any NOV Confidential Information to develop a competing product or service; (vii) use any Confidential Information disclosed by NOV to dispute the validity of any NOV intellectual property rights, including those comprising the Products; or (viii) represent to any End User or third party that Customer is the creator or developer of the Products. If applicable law permits Customer to engage in any such activities notwithstanding these Terms, Customer will provide NOV with advance written notice and reasonably detailed information concerning Customer's intentions in that regard. NOV has the right to monitor use of the Software. Customer will not attempt to block, disguise, obscure, or otherwise interfere with any such monitoring. NOV shall have the right at its own expense, to be exercised no more than once in any calendar quarter, to audit or have audited Customer's compliance with the Agreement. Customer shall maintain all appropriate records necessary to conduct such audit. In the event that the audit reveals that Customer has violated the limitations on its license hereunder, Customer agrees to reimburse NOV for the cost of the audit and will also pay additional fees attributable to the number of unauthorized Products, vessels, drilling or production units or other properties and/or End Users revealed by the audit. All Services provided to Customer are conditioned on Customer's continued compliance with the Agreement. Notwithstanding any other remedies available to NOV at law, in equity, or otherwise, the Services may immediately and automatically be suspended or terminated, at NOV's sole discretion, if Customer fails to comply with any terms of the Agreement. In the event of termination of the Agreement or expiry of Services, all licenses granted therein shall also terminate and Customer shall cease all use of the Products, excluding any fully paid for Equipment, and Customer shall return or destroy, in NOV's sole discretion, all Software, Documentation, and any NOV Confidential Information (as defined below). Upon NOV's request, Customer shall provide an "affidavit of destruction" acceptable to NOV certifying compliance with the foregoing. 11. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION Each party recognizes and acknowledges that it shall (a) maintain all data, information, disclosures, documents, drawings, specifications, patterns, calculations, software, applications, technical information and other documents (collectively, "Confidential Information") obtained from the other party in strict confidence, (b) use Confidential Information only for the purposes set forth in the Agreement, (c) limit dissemination of Confidential Information to its officers, employees, subcontractors and consultants who have a "need to know" and who have agreed not to disclose such Confidential Information, (d) not otherwise disclose any Confidential Information, or permit any third party to examine or copy any Confidential Information, without the disclosing party's prior written consent, and (e) advise the disclosing party promptly in writing of any unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information. The receiving party shall be liable for any breach of this Article 11 by any of its employees, agents or any other person who obtains access to or possession of any of the disclosing party's Confidential Information from or through the receiving party. Each party acknowledges that the restrictions in this Article 11 are reasonable and necessary to protect the other party's legitimate business interests. Each party acknowledges that any breach of any of the provisions of Articles 10 or 11 shall result in irreparable injury to the non-breaching party for which money damages could not adequately compensate. If there is a breach, then non-breaching party shall be entitled, in addition to all other rights and remedies which it may have at law or in equity, to have a decree of specific performance or an injunction issued by any competent court, requiring the breach to be cured or enjoining all persons involved from continuing the breach. The existence of any claim or cause of action that a party or any other person may have against the other party shall not constitute a defense or bar to the enforcement of any of the provisions of this Article 11.
