(a) Payment. In exchange for the license granted above, commencing on the Billing Start Date, Subscriber shall pay Licensor for the Term hereof the Fees, payable in advance, based on the Services, the number of Authorized Users, the Subscription Plan selected by the Subscriber, and on any other commercial terms contained in this Agreement.
(b) Intellectual Property Ownership. Subscriber recognizes that the entire Application and Service is Licensor’s copyrighted and trademarked intellectual property.
(c) Compliance with Laws. Subscriber may not use the Application or Service in a manner that violates any applicable local, state, national or international law or governmental regulation, policy procedure or ordinance, or any rights of a third party.
(d) Competition. Subscriber may not use the Application or Service for the purposes of competing with Licensor, including without limitation competitive intelligence.
(e) Terminated License. Subscriber may not use the Application or Service if this license has been terminated by Licensor.
3. License.
(a) Use of Application. Licensor hereby grants the Subscriber a limited, non-exclusive and non-transferable license, without right of sublicense, during the Term to access, and display on Subscriber’s Display Devices within the United States, the Service, and to permit Authorized Users to use the Service, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. All rights in the Application and Service not expressly granted hereunder are reserved to Licensor.
(b) Scope. The license granted to Subscriber hereunder is limited to the controls and parameters of the Subscription Plan and does not exceed a single, authorized Application for the display and retrieval of the Service on an Authorized User’s Display Device. The license does not extend to multiple applications for the display or retrieval of content within the Services. Subscriber shall have no right pursuant to this Agreement to distribute the Service in whole or in part over the Internet, or via email or instant messaging (other than as set forth in Section 10), via an Intranet, personal digital assistant, wireless application protocol, short message service or radio system. An enhanced license encompassing such applications is available as a supplement to this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Licensor to continue providing access to any Service beyond the date when Licensor ceases providing such Service to subscribers generally. For avoidance of doubt, this restriction applies to Subscriber's redistribution of the Service and does not prohibit bidder-confirmation messages sent by a Project Contractor using the ScrubPlan platform under Section 6.
(c) Term of License. This Agreement, and Subscriber’s license to use the Application and Service, shall become effective on the Billing Start Date and shall continue for the period specified in the Subscription Plan elected by Subscriber. This Agreement, and the Subscriber’s Subscription Plan, shall automatically renew unless Subscriber provides notice to Licensor prior to the end of the then-current Term. Subscriber may cancel its Subscription Plan at any time, however, this license and the obligations hereunder shall remain applicable until the end of the Term and Subscriber will not be entitled to a refund, proration, or offset of any Fees already paid. This Agreement and Subscriber’s license for the Application and Services may be terminated immediately by Licensor if Subscriber fails to comply with any term or condition of this Agreement. Upon such termination, Subscriber agrees to discontinue use of the Application and Service immediately. Subscriber agrees that Subscriber will not be entitled to a refund of the Fees upon early termination of this Agreement.
(d) Restrictions; No Transfer or Assignment. Subscriber may not lease or rent the Application. Subscriber agrees not to modify, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or create derivative works of the Application or assist someone in performing such prohibited acts. Subscriber agrees not to transfer or assign this Agreement or the Application to another party without the prior written consent of Licensor. If such consent is given and Subscriber transfers or assigns the Application and/or this Agreement, then Subscriber must not retain any copies of the Application. Except as set forth in this provision, Subscriber may not transfer or assign the Application or any rights under this Agreement.
4. Copyright.
Subscriber agrees that the Service and Application, including without limitation the editorial coding and metadata contained therein, are the property of Licensor or Licensor’s licensors. The works and databases included in the content of the Service are protected by applicable copyright laws.

Without limiting the foregoing, under no circumstances shall distribution under this Section by Subscriber be permitted if such distribution may be viewed as a substitute for a subscription to the Service itself.

(c) Reservation of Ownership and Rights. This is a license agreement, and not an agreement for sale. Licensor retains ownership of and copyrights in the Application (including source code) and all copies thereof that Subscriber receives and/or is licensed to make under this Agreement. The Application is protected by U.S. copyright laws and other intellectual property laws and international treaty provisions.

5. Choice of Law.
This Agreement shall be governed by, subject to, and construed in accordance with, the substantive laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Subscriber expressly disclaims the applicability of, and waives any rights based upon, the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act or the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. In an action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, Subscriber consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the County of Wake, North Carolina.

6. Bidder Confirmation Text Messaging Program
The exact project contractor identified by its legal name in the bidder invitation and beside the consent control (the "Project Contractor") is the sponsor and sender of this messaging program and the party that obtains the recipient's consent. ScrubPlan provides the software and messaging-delivery platform on the Project Contractor's behalf only and is not a separate sender. Recipients who check the separate, optional SMS consent control may receive recurring automated informational text messages concerning bid invitations, bid deadlines, and bidder-status confirmation at the mobile number they provided. Recipients will receive an immediate enrollment confirmation and may receive up to three bidder-confirmation follow-ups per bid invitation. Message frequency varies. Consent applies only to the Project Contractor identified at the point of consent and this program and is not transferable. The program does not send marketing or promotional messages. Message and data rates may apply. Reply HELP for assistance or contact support@scrubplan.com. Reply STOP to unsubscribe at any time. After a recipient replies STOP, the recipient may receive one confirmation message and no further messages will be sent unless the recipient subsequently provides new express consent through an approved enrollment method. Consent to receive text messages is optional and is not required to access the bid workspace, submit a bid, purchase goods or services, or otherwise participate in bidding. Carriers are not liable for any delayed or undelivered messages.
