CUSTOMER AGREEMENT
Thank you for doing business with us. We strive to provide you with high quality
products and services. If, at any time, you have any questions or problems, or
are not completely satisfied, please let us know. Our goal is to do our best for
you.
This VECTRIX Customer Agreement (called the "Agreement") covers business
transactions you (Home Interiors & Gifts, Inc. or "HIG") may do with us to
license software and acquire services.
This Agreement and its applicable Attachments and Transaction Documents are the
complete agreement regarding these transactions, and replace any prior oral or
written communications between us.
PART I - GENERAL
1.1 DEFINITIONS
COMMERCIAL SOFTWARE is defined in Section 3.3.
COMMON SOFTWARE is defined in Section 3.3.
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION is Software and all information proprietary to
the disclosing party contained in or related to the disclosing party's
Software, materials or products including, but not limited to, HIG's
sales methods, customer lists, market surveys, marketing plans,
identities of customers and hostesses, financial plans, and sales
information provided by the disclosing party hereunder or created by or
proprietary to the disclosing party, the disclosing party's software
development tools, and calculations and data formats which have been
created by the disclosing party or are proprietary to the disclosing
party. Confidential Information excludes such information which is in the
public domain at the time of its disclosure to the other party; which has
been rightfully received from a third party without restrictions, or
which the disclosing party has agreed in writing to permit you to
disclose to third parties.
CONSENT is the prior, express, and written consent of a party and which
may be given or withheld in such party's sole discretion.
CUSTOM SOFTWARE is defined in Section 3.3.
DATE OF INSTALLATION is the following:
1. for Software, the latest of:
a. the day after its testing period ends;
b. the second business day after the Software's standard
transit allowance period;
c. the date, specified in a Transaction Document, on which we
authorize you to make a copy of the Software; or
d. the date you distribute a copy of a chargeable component in
support of your authorized use of the Software.
DESIGNATED HARDWARE is either 1) the hardware on which you will use
Software for processing and which we require you to identify to us by
type/model and serial number, or 2) any hardware on which you use the
Software if we do not require you to provide this identification to us.
ENTERPRISE is any legal entity (such as a corporation) and the
subsidiaries it owns by more than 50 percent.
MATERIALS are literary works or other works of authorship (such as
Software listings, Software tools, documentation, reports, drawings and
similar works) that we may deliver to you as part of a Service. The term
"Materials" does not include Software or licensed internal code or source
code.
PRODUCT is Software or any other tangible item you purchase from us.
SOFTWARE is the following, including the original and all whole or
partial copies:
1. hardware-readable instructions and data;

5. related licensed materials.
The term "Software" includes VECTRIX Software and any non-VECTRIX
Software that we may provide to you.
SERVICE is performance of a task, provision of advice and counsel,
assistance, or access to a resource (including, but not limited to,
access to an information database, advertising, transactions) we make
available to you.
SPECIFICATIONS is a document that provides information specific to a
Product. For VECTRIX Software, we call it "Licensed Software
Specifications" or "License Information."
SPECIFIED OPERATING ENVIRONMENT is the Designated Hardware and Software
with which Software is designed to operate, as described in the
Software's Specifications.
TRANSACTION DOCUMENT is defined in Section 1.2.
1.2 AGREEMENT STRUCTURE
ATTACHMENTS
Some Products and Services have terms in addition to those we specify in
this Agreement. We provide the additional terms in documents called
"Attachments," which are also part of this Agreement. Provisions to the
contrary notwithstanding, no Attachment shall be binding on HIG unless
HIG has given its Consent to such Attachment.
TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS
For each business transaction, we will provide you with the appropriate
"Transaction Documents" that confirm the specific details of the
transaction. Provisions to the contrary notwithstanding, no Transaction
Document shall be binding on HIG unless HIG has given its Consent to such
Transaction Document. The following are examples of Transaction Documents
with examples of the information they may contain:
1. agenda (contract-period duration, start date and total quantity);
2. exhibits (eligible Products by category);
3. invoices (item, quantity, and amount due);
4. proposal (scope of Services, responsibilities, deliverables,
completion criteria, estimated schedule or contract period, and
charges);
5. the Schedules hereto.
CONFLICTING TERMS
If there is a conflict among the terms in the various documents, those of
this Agreement prevail over a Transaction Document and an Attachment; and
the terms of a Transaction Document prevail over those of an Attachment.
In addition to the provisions of Section 1.12 Agreement Termination, HIG
may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice in the
event that HIG and Vectrix are unable to agree in writing to any
Attachment or Transaction Document.
1.3 CHARGES AND PAYMENT
The amount payable for a Product or Service will be based on one or more
of the following types of charges:
1. one-time (for example, the price of Software);
2. recurring (for example, a periodic charge for Custom Software or
measured use of Services);
-----------
3 Xxxxxxx.xxx
-----------
Client
4
3. time and materials (for example, charges for hourly Services); or
4. fixed price (for example, a specific amount agreed to between us
for a custom Service).
Depending on the particular Product, Service, or circumstance, additional
charges may apply (such as special handling or travel related expenses).
We will inform you in advance whenever additional charges apply.
Provisions to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall additional
charges apply without HIG's Consent.
Recurring charges for a Product begin on its date of installation.
Charges for Services are billed as expressly agreed in writing by the
parties.
Amounts due, as set forth in Transaction Documents, shall be billed by
bi-weekly invoice and shall be payable within thirty (30) days of receipt
of invoice. You agree to pay accordingly including interest on any late
payment at an annual rate of ten percent (10%) of the late portion of the
amount due.
If any authority imposes a duty, tax, levy or fee, excluding those based
on our net income, upon any transaction under this Agreement, then you
agree to pay that amount as specified in the invoice or supply exemption
documentation. You are responsible for personal property taxes for each
Product from the date we ship it to you.
One-time and recurring charges may be based on measurements of actual or
authorized use (for example, number of users or processor size for
Software, meter readings for maintenance Services.) You agree to provide
actual usage data if we specify. If you make changes to your environment
that impact use charges (for example, change processor size or
configuration for Software), you agree to promptly notify us and pay any
applicable charges. Recurring charges will be adjusted accordingly.
Unless we agree otherwise, we do not give credits or refunds for charges
already due or paid. In the event that we change the basis of
measurement, our terms for changing charges will apply.
If you make any modifications to the Products or Services set forth in
Schedule A hereto that result in an extension in the Launch Date or if
you otherwise extend the Launch Date, we may increase one-time charges
relating to such modification upon prior notice. However, an increase to
one-time charges does not apply to you if: 1) we receive your order
before the announcement date of the increase and 2) one of the following
occurs within three months after our receipt of your order:
1. we make the Software available to you;
2. you make an authorized copy of Software or distribute a chargeable
component of the Software to Designated Hardware; or
3. the Software's increased use charge becomes due.
You receive the benefit of a decrease in charges for amounts that become
due on or after the effective date of the decrease.
Services for which you prepay must be used within the applicable contract
period. Unless we specify otherwise, we do not give credits or refunds
for unused prepaid Services.
1.4 CHANGES TO THE AGREEMENT TERMS
In order to maintain flexibility in our business relationship, we may
change the terms of this Agreement by giving you one (1) month's written
notice. However, these changes are not retroactive. They apply as of 30
days after HIG's receipt of such notice, and only to new orders and
provided, that upon any and all such changes, HIG may terminate this
Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice. Part 1 of this Agreement
contains additional provisions for changes to the terms of individual
Service transactions.
For a change to be valid, both of us must sign it. Additional or
different terms in any written communication from either party (such as
an order or invoice) are void.
Vectrix may not assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer its service
obligations or duties under this Agreement. Any attempt to do so is void.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Vectrix may subcontract a Service, or any
part of it, to subcontractors selected by Vectrix.
1.5 MUTUAL RESPONSIBILITIES
Both of us agree that under this Agreement:
1. except as provided in Section 3.3, neither of us grants the other
the right to use its trademarks, trade names, or other
designations in any promotion or publication without prior written
consent;
-----------
4 Xxxxxxx.xxx
-----------
Client
5
2. each is free to enter into similar agreements with others;
3. each grants the other only the licenses and rights specified
herein. No other licenses or rights (including licenses or rights
under patents) are granted;
4. each may communicate with the other by electronic means and such
communication is acceptable as a signed writing. An identification
code (called a "user ID") contained in an electronic document is
sufficient to verify the sender's identity and the document's
authenticity, so long as such electronic communication is
subsequently confirmed by facsimile transmission;
5. each will allow the other reasonable opportunity to comply before
it claims that the other has not met its obligations;
6. neither of us is responsible for failure to fulfill any
obligations due to causes beyond our control;
7. This Agreement may be transferred or assigned in the event of a
change of control, merger or acquisition of either party.
1.6 YOUR OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES
You agree:
1. Except as otherwise provided, not to assign, or otherwise
transfer, this Agreement or your rights under this Agreement,
delegate your obligations, or resell any Service, without our
prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Any attempt to do so is void;
2. that you are responsible for the results obtained from the use of
the Products and Services; and
3. to comply with all applicable export and import laws and
regulations.
1.7 PATENTS AND COPYRIGHTS
For purposes of this Section 1.7, the term "Product" includes Materials
(alone or in combination with Products we provide to you as a system),
licensed internal code or source code.
Except as expressly provided herein, if a third party claims that a
Product (including without limitation Materials) we manufactured and
provided to you infringes that party's patent or copyright or
misappropriates a trade secret, we will defend you, and HIG's employees,
directors, officers and representatives against that claim at our expense
and pay all damage, loss, judgment, liability or expense (including, but
not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees) provided that you:
1. promptly notify us in writing of the claim; and
2. allow us to control, and cooperate with us, in the defense and any
related settlement negotiations.
If such a claim is made or appears likely to be made, you agree to permit
us to enable you to continue to use the Product, or to modify it without
materially changing the functionality, or replace it with one that is at
least functionally equivalent. If we determine that none of these
alternatives is reasonably available, you agree to return the Product to
us on our written request. We will then give you a credit equal to:
1. for Software, the amount paid by you
2. for Materials, the amount you paid us for the Materials.
This is our entire obligation to you regarding any claim of infringement.
CLAIMS FOR WHICH WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE:
We have no obligation regarding any claim based an any of the following:
1. anything you provide which is incorporated into a Product,
2. your modification of a Product, or Software's use in other than
its Specified Operating Environment,
3. the combination, operation, or use of a Product with other
products not provided by us as a system, or the combination,
operation, or use of a Product with any product, data, or
apparatus that we did not provide, or
4. Infringement by a non-VECTRIX product alone, as opposed to its
combination with Products we provide to you as a system.

5. Infringement by the Product as developed or modified in accordance
with Schedule A hereto, except for our intentional --
infringement.
1.8 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
IN NO EVENT WILL VECTRIX'S TOTAL LIABILITY HEREUNDER, FOR INDEMNIFICATION
CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE, OR FOR ACTUAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, OR
ANY ECONOMIC CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES OR COSTS, EXCEPT
IN THE CASE OF INTENTIONAL ACTS OF BODILY INJURY, EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES
PAID BY HIG TO VECTRIX UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
1.9 INDEMNIFICATION
Both parties agree to indemnify and hold the other party and the other
party's employees, directors, officers and representatives harmless from
any damage, loss, judgment, liability or expense (including reasonable
attorney's fees) arising out of any claim, suit, action or judgment
asserted based on a party's acts and/or omissions that result in a breach
of this Agreement. In the event a party is notified of an action of any
type in which, based on the previous sentence, the other party shall be
indemnified by the first party, the first party agrees to indemnify the
other party and promptly notify them of such damage, loss, judgment,
liability or expense in writing and give authority and full information
and assistance for the defense of the same by counsel mutually agreed to.
1.10 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

for the other party and shall not, except as permitted by this Agreement

inspect, copy or use any of the other party's Confidential Information
disclosed by the other party in connection with this Agreement, except as
required by law.
1.12 AGREEMENT TERMINATION
You may terminate this Agreement on written notice to us following the
expiration or termination of your obligations. Provisions to the contrary
notwithstanding, HIG may terminate this Agreement (in its entirety or in
part) for any reason or for no reason upon ten (10) days written notice;
provided HIG pays for all work performed by Vectrix through the date of
termination. The parties agree that the work will continue at its present
levels during the notice period.
Either of us may terminate this Agreement in the event of a material
breach of this Agreement and the failure to remedy such breach within
thirty (30) days after written notice of such breach is given by the
non-breaching party.
Any terms of this Agreement, which by their nature extend beyond the
Agreement termination, remain in effect until fulfilled and apply to both
of our respective successors and permitted assignees, including, but not
limited to, Sections 1.7 through 1.11 and Section 3.3.
1.13 GEOGRAPHIC SCOPE
All your rights, all our obligations, and all licenses (except for
licensed internal code and as specifically granted) are valid worldwide.
