THIS MRIC END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is by and between MITCHELL REPAIR INFORMATION COMPANY, LLC, P.O. Box 509044, San Diego, California 92150-9044 ("MRIC") and the company or individual identified on the MRIC Order Form that references this Agreement ("End User").

1. Order Form. The "Order Form" consists only of the information provided and selected by End User on the MRIC Order Form that references this Agreement and the terms and conditions contained on such order form. Order Form may be supplemented or modified by a written agreement between MRIC and End User that specifically references and incorporates this Order Form or otherwise is incorporated into the Order Form by reference. MRIC may modify Order Form if modifications do not affect Product, Subscription Period, or Payment.

2. Products. The products being offered by MRIC for licensing are listed on the Order Form. The products selected by End User for licensing to End User, as indicated on the Order Form, are referred to in this Agreement as the "Products."

3. Subscriptions.

    (a) The Products are licensed, and not sold, on a subscription-basis only. End User may select on the Order Form the type of subscription to be purchased by End User (each a "Subscription"). Each Subscription may be subject to different terms and conditions as described below. The term of a Subscription will commence on the date an Order is accepted by MRIC as described in Section 4 below ("Commencement Date"), and unless terminated earlier in accordance with this Agreement, will continue for the term described in the applicable Subscription below (each a "Subscription Period"). Each renewal of a Subscription will be considered a new Subscription Period. During the applicable Subscription Period, End User will receive any updates to the Product that MRIC makes available generally to its customers as part of the applicable Subscription ("Updates").

    (b) The terms below corresponding to the Subscription selected by End User will apply:

      (i) Purchase. The Subscription Periods for this Subscription are either twelve (12) or twenty-four (24) months as selected by End User on the Order Form. A Subscription under this option may be renewed by End User for successive twelve (12) month periods at the end of the then-current Subscription Period and on each anniversary of the Commencement Date thereafter, unless either End User or MRIC have agreed to renew for an extended term, the length and terms of which shall be in writing, signed by MRIC and End User. At the end of the applicable Subscription Period, if the Subscription is not renewed, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, End User will have a perpetual license of that version of the Product licensed to End User as of the end of the applicable Subscription Period, but will not be entitled to any Updates to the Product after the end of the applicable Subscription Period. Any renewals of a Subscription will constitute a separate Order.

      (ii) Purchase Option Plan (POP). The Subscription Period for this Subscription is effective for an initial term of twelve (12) or twenty-four (24) months following the Commencement Date ("Initial POP Subscription Period"). In addition to the applicable Subscription fees, End User may be required to pay MRIC a one-time activation fee to commence the POP Subscription. The activation fee is non-refundable once the Order is submitted to MRIC unless MRIC declines to accept the Order. MRIC will bill End User monthly, with payments due within thirty (30) calendar days following the date of the MRIC invoice. After the Initial POP Subscription Period, the Subscription Period for this Subscription will renew automatically for additional periods of twelve (12) months each (each a "POP Renewal Period"), unless End User cancels this Subscription in a written notice to MRIC that is received by MRIC no less than thirty (30) calendar days prior to expiration of the then-current Subscription Period. A Subscription may not be cancelled during the Initial POP Subscription Period or any POP Renewal Period unless End User pays MRIC the applicable buy-out fee to cancel a Subscription. MRIC reserves the right to change pricing upon notice to End User prior to each POP Renewal Period. At the end of the Initial POP Subscription Period or any POP Renewal Period, End User must return to MRIC the Product, any Updates, documentation and all copies thereof and discontinue use of the Product, any Updates and all documentation unless End User elects to purchase a perpetual license to use that version of the Product licensed to End User as of the end of the applicable Subscription Period (buyout). If End User purchases the perpetual license, End User will not be entitled to any Updates unless End User purchases a renewal subscription. Perpetual license buyout is not available for products delivered online.

4. Orders. End User represents and warrants that the person signing or otherwise authorizing this Order Form is an authorized representative of End User and is authorized to commit End User to the Order described in the Order Form. End User acknowledges and agrees that the Order Form and the registration, payment and other information submitted by End User on the Order Form (“Registration Information”) constitutes an “Order” by End User and is complete and accurate. End User further acknowledges and agrees that, upon the signing or other authorization of this Order Form by End User and acceptance by MRIC, this Order shall become a part of this Agreement, all of which shall be binding on End User. For Products delivered electronically, MRIC's acceptance will be deemed to have occurred when MRIC sends End User an electronic message confirming the Order. For all other Orders of Product, MRIC’s acceptance will be deemed to have occurred upon MRIC’s shipment of the Product to End User. All Orders of Product are licensed FCA shipping point. Each Subscription and Order shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

5. Term. Each Subscription may be ordered for a certain term selected by End User when submitting End User's Order as further described in this Agreement. This Agreement shall be effective from the Commencement Date and shall continue for as long as End User is authorized to use the applicable Product in accordance with this Agreement (the “Term”).

6. License.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, MRIC grants to End User a personal, nonexclusive, nontransferable, limited license to access and use the executable version of the applicable Product during the applicable Subscription Period purchased by End User solely for the purpose of: (i) providing vehicle mechanical services; (ii) estimating vehicle mechanical parts and labor cost estimates; and (iii) conducting vehicle shop management. Unless the Order Form specifies otherwise, the license shall be for a single user. If the Order Form authorizes more than one user, then the number of users shall be limited to the number set forth on the Order Form. When technically and reasonably feasible, End User may make one copy of the Product solely for backup purposes.

(b) If MRIC receives a buy-out fee for a perpetual license to a Product in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, MRIC grants to End User a personal, nonexclusive, nontransferable, perpetual license to access and use that version of the Product licensed to End User on the date End User elects to pay the buyout fee solely for the purpose of: (i) providing vehicle mechanical services; (ii) estimating vehicle mechanical parts and labor cost estimates; and (iii) conducting vehicle shop management. When technically and reasonably feasible, End User may make one copy of the Product solely for backup purposes. End User shall not be entitled to any Updates following the payment of the buy-out fee unless End User purchases a renewal subscription. Perpetual license buyout is not available for products delivered online.

(c) Regardless of the Subscription Period, End User may not (i) copy or reproduce the Product except as permitted in this Agreement; (ii) allow the Product or data from the Product to be made available to any person other than End User; (iii) assign, sell, transfer or pass along the data, the Product or access to the Product; (iv) translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise access the source code; and (v) provide services for a fee or otherwise use the Product without prior written agreement from MRIC.

End User's license to use such third party products will be limited to End User's applicable Subscription for such third party products and may be used only in connection with the MRIC Products.

(e) End User shall not remove, alter or destroy any form of copyright notice, proprietary markings or confidential legends placed upon or contained with the Product.

7. Price and Payment Terms.

(a) End User agrees to pay MRIC (i) the applicable fees set forth on the Order Form or otherwise authorized by End User, (ii) the then-current renewal fees applicable to a Subscription for a Product ordered by End User, and (iii) any sales, use, excise and other similar taxes, and shipping costs applicable to an Order (collectively, the "End User Fees"). Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, MRIC reserves the right to change End User Fees at any time.

(b) As applicable, End User hereby authorizes MRIC to charge the End User Fees to the payment card or checking account number provided by End User. By submitting a payment card or checking account number as the form of payment, End User represents and warrants that End User's use of the particular card or checking account is authorized and that all information submitted is true and accurate (including, without limitation, payment card number and expiration date). In doing so, End User also authorizes MRIC to charge to the payment card or checking account tendered all amounts payable by End User to MRIC based on the Subscription plan selected (including all renewals thereof), including, but not limited to, all fees and any applicable taxes MRIC is required to collect. End User agrees to update its account registration and payment card or checking account information immediately with any change in the payment card information including, but not limited to, any change in expiration date. If MRIC is unable to process the payment card or checking account at any time, End User's account may be immediately suspended or terminated and End User will remain responsible for all amounts payable by End User to MRIC. The payment card or checking account issuer agreement governs use of your payment card or checking account and End User must refer to that agreement with respect to End User's rights and liabilities as an account holder. If MRIC does not receive payment from its payment card or checking account issuer or its agent, End User agrees to pay MRIC all amounts due upon demand by MRIC. MRIC reserves the right to not renew End User's account at any time for any reason.

(c) If any payment due by End User is late, the End User will be deemed to be in default. Late payments will earn interest charged to the End User at the lower of a monthly rate of 1.5 percent per month, or the maximum interest amount allowed by local law.
 
(d) If End User is in default, MRIC may take possession of Product licensed under this Agreement and cease delivery of any Updates. In the event of an End User default, the End User is responsible for all collection costs, including costs incurred by MRIC in taking possession of software, plus attorney's fees.
