License Fee is set forth in our Subscription Plans found here: https://worktraining.com/learning-management-system as of the date of this Agreement, and attached to this Agreement and incorporated by this reference.
1.3 Licensor
"Licensor" means Easler Education LLC, a Florida Limited Liability Company.
1.4 Software
"Software" means the computer program or programs marketed and sold as EaslerLMS, in object code form only. Software includes any updates, modification, bug fixes, upgrades, enhancements, or other modifications. It does not include any version of the Software that constitutes a separate product because of differences in function or features.
2. Grant of License
2.1 Grant
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Licensor hereby grants to Licensee a nonexclusive, nontransferable license in the Software, to use and reproduce the Software exclusively for the Intended Use.
2.2 License Restrictions
Except as specifically granted in this Agreement, Licensor owns and retains all right, title, and interest in the Software, documentation, and any and all related materials. This Agreement does not transfer ownership rights of any description in the Software, documentation, or any related materials to Licensee or any third party. Licensee shall reproduce, install, and render the Software operational only on the EaslerLMS portal for Licensee. Licensee shall not modify, reverse engineer, or decompile the Software, or create derivative works based on the Software, Course Content, or other assets hosted through EaslerLMS. Licensee shall not distribute the Software to any persons or entities other than Licensee's employees, consultants, or contractors. Licensee may not sell the Software to any person or make any other commercial use of the software. Licensee shall retain all copyright and trademark notices on the Software and Course Content and shall take other necessary steps to protect Licensor's intellectual property rights. Licensee shall not retail Course Content unless Licensee uses one credit per one individual enrollment in any given Course. Course Content may only be used for its own employees and customers when credits are paid for and used and may not be used to conduct or host in-person, classroom, or webinar-style training.
3. License Fees
3.1 License Fees
In consideration for the License granted to Licensee under this Agreement the Licensee shall pay Licensor the License Fee, as set forth in our Subscription Plans found here: https://worktraining.com/learning-management-system and incorporated by reference herein as of the date executed herein. The License Fee works as a subscription. Subscriptions provide Licensee access to our library of non-instructor-led training courses, also known as “Computer Based Training” or CBT courses.
Licensor’s subscriptions are credit-based. This means that every enrollment of one student in one course equates to one credit in the system. There are no minimum or maximum users in the system. Enrollments are only limited by the number of credits in Licensee’s credit bank.
Licensee’s credit bank is where its credits are deposited when Licensee subscribes. There are three total tiers of subscriptions: Growing Business, Established Business, and Enterprise. Each tier allots a specified number of credits to Licensee’s credit bank. Unused credits never expire for as long as Licensee maintains its subscription tier.
Licensee may upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time. If Licensee upgrades, its credits roll over into its new subscription credit bank. If Licensee downgrades or cancels before the subscription term ends, Licensee only pays for what it has used.
If Licensee expends all of its credits under the plan, but still needs to enroll additional learners, Licensee may:
Remain in Licensee’s “tier” and pay for the additional credits it needs based on its discounted “a la carte” rate per credit; or
Upgrade to the next tier. If Licensee upgrades to the next tier, it must first pay the remaining payments due under the existing contract term and commence a new term for twelve months thereafter.
For example, if Licensee expects only to need the lowest tier, but ends up using all of its credits in the first six months on the twelve-month term, then it may simply pay the remaining, unpaid six months out and upgrade to the next tier with a new set of credits under the credit bank and a new twelve-month term. Alternatively, if Licensee is in the eleventh month of the twelve-month contract, and uses all remaining credits in the credit bank, it may prefer to purchase the additional credits needed at the a la carte price for that tier rather than committing to upgrading to the next tier.
All amounts not paid within thirty (30) days of the date shown on the License Fee Schedule shall bear interest at the lesser of 18% per annuum, accruing monthly, or the highest amount allowed by law.
3.2 Taxes
In addition to other amounts payable under this Agreement, Licensee shall pay any and all federal, state, municipal, or other taxes, duties, fees, or withholding currently or subsequently imposed on Licensee's use of the Software or the payment of the License Fee to Licensor, other than taxes assessed against Licensor's net income. Such taxes, duties, fees, withholding, or other charges shall be paid by Licensee or Licensee shall provide the appropriate authority with evidence of exemption from such tax, duty, fee, withholding, or charge. If Licensor is required to pay any such tax, duty, fee, or charge, or to withhold any amount from monies due to Licensor from Licensee pursuant to this Agreement, Licensee shall promptly reimburse Licensor any such amounts.
4. Licensor and Licensee Obligations
4.1 Deliverables
Upon execution of this Agreement, Licensor shall deliver the Software to Licensee in a format appropriate for the Authorized Platform at the Authorized Site together with the Documentation.
4.2 Compliance with Terms
Licensee shall be responsible for compliance with all terms of the Agreement and to Licensor’s terms of use available on its website as may be updated from time to time, incorporated herein by reference. In addition to and including all other rights and remedies herein, Licensor shall have the right at its sole discretion to suspend access to Software and Course Content with or without notice to Licensee or any of Licensee’s end users in breach or suspected of breach of the Agreement or Licensor’s terms of use as may be updated from time to time and incorporated herein by reference. Licensor, in its sole discretion, may remove such suspension if satisfactory evidence of compliance or cure is provided.
