High Risk Activities do not include utilization of Offerings for administrative purposes, to store configuration data, engineering and/or configuration tools, or other non-control applications, the failure of which would not result in death, personal injury, or physical or environmental damage.

  1. Orders; Validity. An Order is valid for acceptance by Customer within the period indicated in the Order and if no such period is provided, for thirty (30) calendar days from the issue date. The Agreement is formed by Customer’s execution of the Order. Changes to an Order or belated acceptance by Customer are not valid unless Trimble accepts them in writing, and Trimble’s partial or complete delivery against an Order modified by Customer, or acceptance of payment, shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of the modification. Orders that Customer has accepted cannot be canceled for any reason without Trimble’s prior written consent. 


  1. Payment Terms; Invoicing 

    1. Fees are as set forth in the Order or SOW. Fees do not include applicable sales taxes, value added taxes, goods and services taxes, export or import charges, transportation or insurance charges, customs and duty fees, personal property taxes, surcharges and fees, or similar charges, all of which are Customer’s responsibility to pay. Unless Customer provides Trimble with direct payment authority or a valid exemption certificate for the appropriate jurisdiction, Customer will pay Trimble all such taxes, charges, and fees invoiced by Trimble in connection with the Offerings. Customer will pay any foreign exchange transaction fees and any foreign exchange profits or losses incurred on such transactions. 

    2. Trimble will issue invoices in accordance with the billing frequency stated in the Order or SOW. Customer consents to the receipt of invoices electronically at the email address(es) it provided to Trimble for billing purposes, and accepts such invoices as if received by mail. Customer is responsible for maintaining current email address(es) with Trimble.  Trimble’s transmission of an invoice to the provided billing email address(es) (regardless of whether actually received by Customer) shall be considered delivery of that invoice by Trimble. Trimble’s failure to issue an invoice in accordance with this Section 3 (Payment Terms; Invoicing) shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Trimble of its right to receive payment pursuant to the Agreement, but Customer shall not be obligated to make such payment until an invoice for such payment is issued by Trimble to Customer.

    3. Unless otherwise set forth in the Order or SOW, payments are due net 30 days from the date of invoice.  Customer will make payment in the currency indicated on the Order or SOW.  Trimble is entitled to offset payments against prior debt balances in Customer's account. Subject to any Laws to the contrary or as otherwise expressly stated in the Agreement, payments are not refundable. No credit, carryover, or refund will be given for any unused Offerings (e.g., services hours, data usage) allocated or available for use during an indicated period of time.  

    4. Delinquent payments not subject to a bona fide dispute will bear interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable Law. If Customer does not object in writing to an invoiced amount by the invoice due date, Customer will be deemed to have acknowledged the correctness of that invoice and to have waived its right to dispute that invoice. A dispute as to a portion of any invoice or amount owed will give Customer the right to withhold or delay payment of the disputed portion only. Customer will be liable for all costs of collection of past due amounts (including attorneys’ fees). 

    5. Trimble may suspend Customer’s access to or Trimble’s provision of Offerings, as applicable, on five (5) business days prior notice if Customer fails to timely pay any invoice not subject to a bona fide payment dispute or fails to use diligent good faith efforts to resolve a bona fide payment dispute (unless cured during the notice period).

    6. Trimble may, without limiting Trimble’s other rights and remedies, accelerate Customer’s unpaid fees under any and all Orders for any breach of Customer’s payment obligations under any Order(s) so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, including fees for all unbilled future fees under any Order(s).

    7. Trimble has the continuing right to review Customer's credit and, if reasonably determined necessary by Trimble, change Customer's payment terms, and may at any time demand advance payment, satisfactory security (such as, but not limited to, a confirmed, irrevocable letter of credit acceptable to Trimble), or a guarantee of prompt payment prior to shipment or service activation.

    8. Offerings purchased or licensed under Trimble’s United States General Services Administration ("GSA") Schedules are subject to all of the pricing and other  terms and conditions described in the applicable GSA Schedule.


  1. Term and Termination

    1. Term. The term and any renewals thereof applicable for an Offering  (collectively, the “Term(s)”) shall be as set forth in the Order, SOW, or Supplemental Terms. Different Offerings may have different Terms.

    2. Termination. Either party may terminate the Agreement if the other party (a) fails to cure a material breach of the Agreement (including a failure to pay fees), or fails to provide a written plan of cure reasonably acceptable to the non-breaching party, within thirty (30) days after the non-breaching party’s receipt of written notice specifying such breach or failure, (b) becomes designated by an applicable governmental entity as a business with which a party is prohibited from doing business with (e.g., via governmental sanctions program), or (c) seeks protection under insolvency or comparable proceeding, or if such proceedings are instituted against that party and not dismissed within sixty (60) days. 

    3. Survival. These Sections survive expiration or termination of the Agreement: 1 (Definitions), 3 (Payment Terms; Invoicing), 4.3 (Survival), 6 (Warranty Disclaimers), 7 (Limitations of Liability), 8 (Indemnification), 9 (Confidentiality), 11 (Personal Information; Data Protection), 12 (Miscellaneous), any other provisions identified in any applicable Supplemental Terms referencing this provision, and any other term or provision in the Agreement that applies to events occurring following termination or expiration. Except where an exclusive remedy is provided, exercising a remedy under the Agreement, including termination, does not limit other remedies a party may have.


  1. Customer Obligations

  2. High Risk Activities. Customer will not use the Offerings for High Risk Activities. Customer acknowledges that the Offerings are not intended to meet any legal obligations for High Risk Activities. Trimble and its suppliers specifically disclaim any responsibility for, and will not be liable in any manner arising from, any use of the Offerings in connection with High Risk Activities.

  3. Compliance with Laws. Customer shall comply with all Laws in connection with its use or receipt of the Offerings. 

  4. Dependencies and Compatibilities. 

  5. Offerings may (i) require certain dependencies, including, without limitation, internet connection, electronic communications, hardware, data connections, operating systems, third-party products and services, other Trimble products and services, satellite signals, etc. (collectively, “Dependencies”), and (ii) allow compatibility and/or interoperability with other products or services made available by Trimble, Customer, or a third party (collectively, “Compatibilities”). 

  6. Dependencies and Compatibilities may require payment of a separate fee and are governed by their respective terms of service, end user license agreement, or other agreement, and not by the Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly agreed upon by the parties in writing, Customer is responsible for all Dependencies and Compatibilities. Trimble may modify the Offerings from time to time, and Trimble does not guarantee that the Offerings will continue to operate or be compatible with any Dependencies or Compatibilities. Trimble makes no warranty or guarantee, and will have no liability or obligations under the Agreement, with respect to any Dependencies, Compatibilities, or other factors outside of Trimble’s control.

  7. Customer represents and warrants that it shall, and shall require any provider of any Dependencies and Compatibilities to: (i) establish and maintain industry standard technical, organizational, physical, and administrative safeguards designed to ensure the security and integrity of the Offerings; and (ii) comply with the security controls, configuration requirements, and access limitations imposed by Trimble, as may be modified by Trimble from time to time.


  1. WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS.  

THE LIMITED WARRANTY TERMS, IF ANY, EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ANY APPLICABLE SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES ON TRIMBLE’S PART ARISING OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE OFFERINGS, AT ANY TIME EITHER DURING OR AFTER EXPIRATION OF THE APPLICABLE WARRANTY, AND STATE TRIMBLE’S ENTIRE LIABILITY AND CUSTOMER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES RELATING TO THEM. EXCEPT FOR ANY LIMITED WARRANTY TERMS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ANY APPLICABLE SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS, THE OFFERINGS ARE PROVIDED "AS-IS'' AND WITHOUT EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, TITLE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT. SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMERS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON DURATION OR THE EXCLUSION OF AN IMPLIED WARRANTY, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION(S) MAY NOT APPLY OR FULLY APPLY TO CUSTOMER. 


  1. Limitations of Liability.

    1. Waiver; Liability Cap.
      (a) EXCEPT FOR EXCLUDED CLAIMS, (i) NEITHER PARTY (OR ITS SUPPLIERS) SHALL BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFIT OR REVENUE, DATA THAT IS LOST OR CORRUPTED, FAILURE OF SECURITY MECHANISMS, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, RELIANCE, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND; AND (ii)EACH PARTY’S (AND EACH OF ITS SUPPLIER’S) ENTIRE LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED IN AGGREGATE THE AMOUNTS PAID OR PAYABLE BY CUSTOMER TO TRIMBLE DURING THE PRIOR 12 MONTHS UNDER THE AGREEMENT FOR THE APPLICABLE OFFERING(S) GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY. 

(b) “EXCLUDED CLAIMS” MEANS (i) CUSTOMER’S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE AGREEMENT, (ii) DAMAGES PAYABLE TO A THIRD PARTY (I.E., NOT AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY) EITHER AWARDED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION OR INCLUDED IN A SETTLEMENT AGREED TO BY THE INDEMNIFYING PARTY, WHICH DAMAGES ARE SUBJECT TO A PARTY'S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS IN SECTION 8 (INDEMNIFICATION), AND (iii) ANY ADDITIONAL “EXCLUDED CLAIMS” EXPRESSLY IDENTIFIED IN ANY APPLICABLE SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS. 

(C) THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY WILL APPLY  TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES COULD HAVE BEEN FORESEEN OR IF A PARTY HAS BEEN APPRAISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARE ARISING IN BREACH OF ANY ONE OR MORE WARRANTIES, NON-CONFORMITY, IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF ANY STATUTORY DUTY, OR OTHERWISE.

(D) SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATIONS, CERTAIN INTENTIONAL OR NEGLIGENT ACTS, VIOLATION OF SPECIFIC STATUTES, OR THE LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. IN SUCH AN EVENT, THE FOREGOING LIMITATION(S) WILL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY LAW.

  1. Nature of Claims and Failure of Essential Purpose. The waivers and limitations in this Section 7 (Limitations of Liability) are agreed-upon allocations of risk constituting in part the consideration for Trimble’s performance under the Agreement, and will survive and apply even if any limited remedy in the Agreement fails of its essential purpose.


  1. Indemnification. Customer will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Trimble from and against any and all third-party claims, costs, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of or in connection with (a) actual or alleged use or modification of any Offerings in breach of the Agreement, or in any manner not authorized by the Agreement or (b) Customer’s violation of Laws or the rights of a third party.  Trimble will give Customer prompt written notice of any claim hereunder and will cooperate in relation to the claim at Customer’s expense. Customer will have the exclusive right to control and settle any claim, except that Customer may not settle a claim without Trimble’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) if the settlement requires Trimble to admit any liability or take any action or refrain from taking any action (other than ceasing use of infringing materials). Trimble may participate in the defense of any claim at its expense.


  1. Confidentiality.

    1. Definition. “Confidential Information” means information disclosed to the receiving party under the Agreement that is designated by the disclosing party as proprietary or confidential or that should be reasonably understood to be proprietary or confidential due to its nature and the circumstances of its disclosure. Trimble’s Confidential Information includes, without limitation, the terms and conditions of the Agreement, and any technical or performance information about the Offerings, including the Documentation. 

    2. Obligations. As a receiving party, each party (a) will protect the confidentiality of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information using the same degree of care it uses for its own information of like importance (but not less than reasonable care), (b) will not share the disclosing party’s Confidential Information with third parties except as permitted in the Agreement or with the disclosing party’s prior written or electronic consent, and (c) will only use Confidential Information to fulfill its obligations and exercise its rights in the Agreement. The receiving party may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, agents, Affiliates, contractors, and other representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) having a legitimate need to know (including, for Trimble, its subcontractors), provided (i) the Representatives are subject to confidentiality obligations no less protective than those in this Section 9 (Confidentiality), and (ii) the receiving party is responsible for any breach of this Section 9 (Confidentiality) by the acts or omissions of its Representatives.

    3. Exclusions. These confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that the receiving party can document (a) is or becomes public knowledge through no fault of the receiving party or its Representatives, (b) it rightfully knew or possessed on a non-confidential basis prior to receipt under the Agreement, (c) it rightfully received from a third party without obligation of confidentiality, or (d) it independently developed without using the disclosing party’s Confidential Information. Supplemental Terms may have additional exclusions.

    4. Remedies. Unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information may cause substantial harm for which remedies at law (e.g., monetary damages) alone are an insufficient remedy. In the event of such actual or threatened breach by a party, the other party may seek injunctive relief, in addition to other available rights and remedies, for breach or threatened breach of this Section 9 (Confidentiality), without proof of actual damages or the requirement of posting a bond or other security.

    5. Required Disclosures. Nothing in the Agreement prohibits either party from making disclosures if required by Law or government or court order, provided (if permitted by Law) it notifies the other party in advance and reasonably cooperates in any effort by the other party to obtain confidential treatment.


  1. Intellectual Property Rights.

    1. Trimble IP. As between the parties, except for any limited usage rights set forth in any Supplemental Terms, Trimble and its suppliers have and will retain all Intellectual Property Rights in and to Trimble IP and all copies, modifications, and derivative works thereof. No Intellectual Property Rights are granted by Trimble to Customer except as expressly provided under the Agreement.

    2. Feedback. Customer may from time to time provide suggestions, comments, or other feedback (collective, “Feedback”) to Trimble with respect to the Offerings. Both parties agree that all Feedback is and will be given entirely voluntarily, and shall not be considered Confidential Information of Customer. Customer shall not provide any Feedback that is subject to license terms that seek to require any of Customer’s products, technology, service, or documentation incorporating or derived from such Feedback, or any of Customer’s intellectual property to be licensed or otherwise shared with any third party.  Customer hereby grants to Trimble and its Affiliates a nonexclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free, fully paid up license to use and otherwise exploit the Feedback. 


  1. Personal Information; Data Protection

    1. This Section 11 (Personal Information; Data Protection) applies if Customer is a legal person (i.e., a business or legal entity). All Laws relating to the protection of privacy and data protection are referred to as “Data Protection Legislation”. “Personal Information” is defined as in the Applicable Data Protection Legislation, or if no definition is provided, any personally identifiable information which is either (a) provided by Customer or on its behalf, or (b) automatically collected through the Software on Customer’s behalf. “Applicable”, in this context, means the Data Protection Legislation applicable to Customer at Customer’s principal place of business or to Trimble at Trimble’s principal place of business, and such Laws that the parties mutually agree apply.

    2. Each party will comply with all Applicable requirements of the Data Protection Legislation. This Section 11 (Personal Information; Data Protection) is in addition to, and does not relieve, remove or replace, a party's obligations or rights under the applicable Data Protection Legislation.

    3. The parties acknowledge that: (a) when performing its obligations under this Agreement, Trimble processes Personal Information on Customer's behalf, except for user registration and software licensing and usage data, for which Trimble acts as responsible party, and (b) the Personal Information may be transferred or stored, and/or accessed from outside of the country where Customer’s principal place of business is located in order to provide the Software and Trimble's other obligations under this Agreement.

    4. Customer will ensure that it has all necessary appropriate consents and notices in place to enable (a) lawful transfer of the Personal Information to Trimble for the duration and purposes of the Agreement and (b) Trimble to lawfully use, process and transfer the Personal Information in accordance with this Agreement, including on Customer's behalf.

    5. If the processing of Personal Information by Trimble is subject to the General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679) or the Data Protection Act 2018 of the United Kingdom, then, in addition, at the written request of Customer, the parties will execute an applicable data processing addendum, available at https://www.trimble.com/privacy or any successor url. Transfers of Personal Information from Trimble entities located in Europe, acting as data exporter, to Trimble entities in the USA, acting as data importer, are governed, for the benefit of Customer,  by the Standard Contractual Clauses  available at the same url or upon written request to Trimble. 

    6. If the processing of Personal Information by Trimble is subject to US data protection laws, rules or regulations, then the US Data Processing Addendum for Customer Personal Information (available at https://dl.trimble.com/www/us_dpa_customer.pdf or any successor url) is herein incorporated by reference.


  1. Miscellaneous.

    1. Assignment. Trimble may assign the Agreement upon notice to Customer. Customer may not assign or transfer the Agreement (by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of Trimble. Any non-permitted assignment is void. The Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of each party’s permitted successors and assigns.

    2. Amendments. Trimble may amend the Agreement from time to time with written notice to Customer. Such amendments shall take effect upon the next renewal, if any, of the Agreement, unless Trimble indicates an earlier effective date. If Trimble requires amendments with an earlier effective date and Customer objects in writing, then Trimble may permit such amendments to take effect upon the next renewal; provided, however, if Trimble declines to permit such later effective date, Customer’s exclusive remedy is to terminate the Agreement with notice to Trimble, in which case Trimble will provide Customer a refund of any applicable pre-paid fees for the terminated portion of the current Term. To exercise this termination right, Customer must notify Trimble of its objections within thirty (30) days after Trimble’s notice of the amended Agreement. Once the amended Agreement takes effect, Customer’s continued use of the Offerings constitutes its acceptance of the modifications. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Trimble may modify Documentation upon written notice to Customer to reflect new features or changing practices, provided that the modifications will not materially decrease Trimble’s overall obligations with respect to such Offering(s). 

    3. Waiver and Severability.  No waiver of any provision or breach of the Agreement (a) will be effective unless made in writing, or (b) will operate as or be construed to be a continuing waiver of such provision or breach. In the event any portion of the Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such portion will be construed as nearly as possible to reflect the original intent of the parties, or if such construction cannot be made, such provision or portion thereof will be severable from the Agreement, provided that the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability in whole or in part of any provision does not affect the validity of other provisions.

    4. Force Majeure.  Neither party will be liable for any default, delay, or non-performance of its obligations under the Agreement (except for payment obligations) due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, strikes, blockades, war, terrorism, riot, internet or utility failures, governmental orders or actions, national or regional emergency, pandemics, or natural disasters, provided that such party promptly notifies the other in writing of such occurrence and uses commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance of its affected obligations as soon as feasible. Delays or failures that are excused as provided in this  Section 12.4 (Force Majeure) will result in automatic extensions of dates for performance for a period of time equal to the duration of the events excusing such delay or failure.

    5. Notices.  Any notice or other communication given by either party to the other regarding the Agreement will be deemed given and served when personally delivered or delivered by reputable international courier requiring signature for receipt addressed to the party at its notice address. Notice will be deemed effective upon delivery or refused delivery attempt. Either party may change its notice address by written notice to the other. Customer's notice address will be the address appearing on the Order or SOW.  Trimble's notice address will be the applicable address on Exhibit A (Trimble Entities; Governing Law; Exclusive Venue/Jurisdiction), or if the Trimble entity is not listed there, then on the Order. In addition, any valid notice to Trimble shall include a required copy to: Trimble Inc., Attn: General Counsel - Important Legal Notice, 935 Stewart Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, USA. Trimble may send operational notices to Customer by email or through the Offering, including, without limitation, modifications of the Agreement or Documentation, suspension, collection, and termination notices related to overdue fees.

    6. Export Control. Customer acknowledges that the Offerings are subject to export restrictions by the United States government and import restrictions by certain foreign governments. Customer will not, and will not allow any third party to, remove or export from the United States or allow the export or re-export of any part of the Offerings or any direct product thereof: (a) into (or to a national or resident of) any embargoed or terrorist-supporting country; (b) to anyone on the U.S. Commerce Department’s Table of Denial Orders or U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals; (c) to any country to which such export or re-export is restricted or prohibited, or as to which the United States government or any agency thereof requires an export license or other governmental approval at the time of export or re-export without first obtaining such license or approval; or (d) otherwise in violation of any export or import restrictions, Laws of any United States or foreign agency or authority. Customer warrants that it is not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any such prohibited country or on any such prohibited party list. The Offerings are further restricted from being used for the design or development of nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons or missile technology, or for terrorist activity, without the prior permission of the United States government. Customer will defend, indemnify, and hold Trimble harmless against any liability (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of Customer’s failure to comply with the terms of this Section. Customer’s obligations under this Section 12.6 (Export Control) will survive the termination of the Agreement for any reason whatsoever.

    7. Anti-Corruption Compliance. Each party, and any third party acting on its behalf, will comply with all applicable United States and international anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws and regulations, including, without limitation, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act, and others (collectively, “Anti-Corruption Laws”). Each party, and any third party acting on its behalf, will not directly or indirectly offer, promise, or give any payment or anything of value to a government official, or any other individual or entity, where the intent is to improperly influence any act or decision of the government official, or other individual or entity, to obtain or retain business or some other benefit or commercial advantage for either party. Each party, and any third party acting on its behalf, also will not solicit or accept any sort of payment or anything of value from anyone, where the intent is to improperly influence any acts of a party or any third party acting on its behalf.

    8. GSA. Offerings purchased or licensed under Trimble’s United States General Services Administration ("GSA") Schedules are subject to all of the pricing and other  terms and conditions described in the applicable GSA Schedule.

    9. Governing Law and Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. The Agreement and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising therefrom shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the applicable jurisdiction based on Customer location as set forth on Exhibit A (Trimble Entities; Governing Law; Exclusive Venue/Jurisdiction) under “Governing Law”, without regard to or application of its conflicts of laws provisions. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply.   No dispute or legal action arising under the Agreement may be brought by either party more than one (1) year after such cause of action accrued, except that an action for nonpayment may be brought within two (2) years of the date of the last payment. All claims, matters, and controversy arising from the Agreement will be subject to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue set forth on Exhibit A (Trimble Entities; Governing Law; Exclusive Venue/Jurisdiction) under “Exclusive Venue/Jurisdiction”, to the exclusion of all others. Each party hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on forum non conveniens, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdiction.  EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION, PROCEEDING, CAUSE OF ACTION, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

    10. Region-Specific Terms. Additional terms and conditions for specified regions are as set forth in Exhibit B (Region-Specific Terms). 

    11. Publicity. Customer agrees that (a) Trimble may issue a press release in the form approved by the parties regarding the parties' entry into this Agreement, and (b) Trimble may identify Customer (including through use of its name and logo) as Trimble’s customer, including on Trimble’s website, and may include Customer in its customer list and marketing materials, but will cease this use upon Customer’s written request. 

    12. Headings; Language. The headings in the Agreement have been inserted for convenience only and shall have no substantive effect. The language of all parts of the Agreement shall in all cases be considered as a whole, according to its fair meaning, and not strictly for or against any of the parties. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the language of the Agreement shall be considered jointly drafted.

    13. Subcontractors.Trimble may use subcontractors in the performance of its obligations under the Agreement, and will be responsible for the acts and omissions of its subcontractors in their performance of Trimble’s obligations in the Agreement.  

    14. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as may be expressly stated in any Supplemental Terms, there are no third-party beneficiaries under the Agreement. 

    15. Official Language. The parties have specifically requested that the Agreement be drafted in English. Les parties ont spécifiquement demandé que cette entente soit rédigée en anglais. If there is a conflict between versions of the Agreement in any other language, the English language version controls. 

    16. Independent Contractors. Each party is an independent contractor of, and is not an employee, agent, fiduciary, or authorized representative of, the other party. 

    17. Entire Agreement. The Agreement sets forth the entire understanding between the parties in connection with its subject matter, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous proposals, communications, agreements, negotiations, and representations, whether written or oral, regarding the subject matter thereof. Any additional, contrary, and/or pre-printed terms or conditions appearing on Customer’s acceptance, orders, or associated purchase documentation are hereby rejected and will be of no effect. 

    18. Counterparts. The Agreement, or portions thereof, may be executed in several counterparts and, if applicable, by each party on a separate counterpart, each of which, when so executed and delivered will be an original, but all of which together will constitute but one and the same instrument. A signature, digital signature, or electronic signature delivered through other means (e.g., email) shall have the same force and effect as an original ink signature.
