Conditions

IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION: YOUR APPOINTMENT TO THE CORTEX RESELLER PROGRAMME (“RESELLER PROGRAMME”)
IS CONDITIONAL UPON YOU
AGREEING TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET OUT BELOW (“THIS AGREEMENT”).

AS A PARTICIPANT IN THE RESELLER PROGRAMME, AND AS A RESELLER OF CORTEX’S SOFTWARE, YOU AGREE TO ABIDE BY THE
FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

YOU MAY ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY CLICKING THE “ACCEPT” BUTTON

INDICATING YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS OR IF THIS AGREEMENT IS PRESENTED TO YOU BY CORTEX IN HARDCOPY,
SIGNING A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT AND RETURNING IT
TO CORTEX. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS

AGREEMENT, THEN YOU MAY CLICK THE “DECLINE” BUTTON IN WHICH CASE YOU WILL NOT BECOME BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT BUT
YOU WILL ALSO NOT BE ENTITLED
TO PARTICIPATE IN THE RESELLER PROGRAMME OR BE ENTITLED TO ANY OF THE OTHER RIGHTS OF A RESELLER AS SET OUT
BELOW.

1. Reseller Programme

1.1 The Cortex Value Added Reseller Programme appoints persons as authorised valued added resellers to resell
Cortex’s software products (“Software”) to end users. This Agreement is between you, the
reseller (“you/Reseller”), and CORTEX IT LABS PTY
LTD ACN 120 499 176 (“we/ us/ Cortex”).

1.2 Your appointment as a Reseller is not automatic and must be approved by Cortex. Cortex may either approve or
reject your application to be a Reseller
in its sole discretion. Your appointment as a Reseller is non-exclusive and non-transferrable.

1.3 Unless you are appointed as a Reseller, you must not resell or re-supply any copy of the Software held by
you to any person.

1.4 As a Reseller, you will pre-purchase licence keys from Cortex for resale to end users. A licence key is a
code which when entered into the Software by
an end user, registers that copy of the Software for use by the end user, and unlocks any restricted
functionality in the Software. Each licence key will
activate and licence one or more copies of the Software for use by the end user (the number of copies of the
Software which a licence key will enable an
end user to activate and use, and the term of the licence for the Software, will be specified by Cortex at the
time of sale). The use of each licensed copy
of the Software by the end user will then be governed by the Software’s End User Licence Agreement (“EULA”)
(and you as
a reseller, agree to familiarise yourself with the terms of our EULA). The process relating to the purchase of
licence keys is set out in paragraph 2below.

1.5 For the avoidance of doubt, different versions of the same type of Software (which may include enhanced
versions of the Software) will constitute separate software products under these terms, and separate licences
will need to be purchased to use them.

1.6 The manner through which you may promote or market the Software (i.e., via website, newsletter or other
means) must be approved by Cortex before you
undertake the promotion or relevant marketing campaign.

1.7 You may only supply the Software to an end user by providing a link to the trial version of the Software
appearing on the Cortex website (at a URL
specified by Cortex from time to time) for the end user to download, or by providing a hard copy of the trial
version of the Software to the end user. You
must not include any Cortex branding or art work on any hard copy of the trial version of the Software which you
produce, and provide to an end user
(including, without limitation, any DVD or DVD sleeve).

1.8 You must only resell the Software and its licence keys to end users. You are not permitted to re-sell or
re-supply the Software to any person for the
purposes of resale by that person.

1.9 If a licence purchased by you for on-supply to an end user is designated by Cortex as a SAAS licence or
Managed Service Provider or MSP licence (together a “SAAS Licence”) then, in accordance with
the EULA for the Software:

1. The end user to whom the SAAS Licence is supplied may receive the right to use the Software for one or more
   of its personnel, in one or more locations, or across one or more computers or servers (together the
   “Permitted SAAS Users”). The number and type of Permitted SAAS Users will be specified at
   the time the relevant licence key (or keys) is purchased;
2. A SAAS Licence is granted on a subscription basis, and will continue until the end of the relevant
   subscription period (“SAAS Licence Term”). At the conclusion of the SAAS Licence Term, the
   SAAS Licence may automatically renew in accordance with its terms of purchase or its EULA.
3. You may, on behalf of an end user customer, transfer a licence for the Software between Permitted SAAS
   Users. Such transfer may be conducted via the Reseller Portal or other management console provided by
   Cortex. You cannot transfer a licence between different end users or your different customers.
4. You may, on behalf of an end user customer increase the number of Permitted SAAS Users by paying any
   applicable purchase price for the same. You may also, on behalf of an end user, reduce the number of
   Permitted SAAS Users, however any reduction will only take effect at the renewal of the SAAS Licence. There
   will be no refund or pro-rata refund for any unused portion of a cancelled SAAS Licence.

2. Ordering and payment

2.1 Cortex may grant you access to a password protected area of the Cortex website that contains certain sales,
promotional and marketing information ( “Reseller Portal”). You may order licence keys from
Cortex by placing an order via the interface provided in the Reseller
Portal or via any other means specified by Cortex from time to time. Cortex may in its sole and absolute
discretion refuse any order for a licence key
placed by you. The limitations on your use of the Reseller Portal are set out in paragraph 3
below.

2.2 As a Reseller, you are also permitted to renew licence keys on behalf of end users by placing an order via
the Reseller Portal. Cortex reserves the
right to renew licence keys directly with an end user where the end user contacts Cortex directly.

2.3 A licence key will be valid once it is issued to you. A licence key will, unless it is renewed, expire at
the conclusion of the term of the licence as
specified by Cortex on the date the licence key was issued. You will be responsible for collecting any
corresponding payment from any end user to whom you
resell a licence key. Cortex is under no obligation to deactivate any licence key which you have paid Cortex
for, but which you have not in turn been paid
for by the end user. Cortex is also under no obligation to transfer any licence key from you to an end user,
from an end user back to you, or from one end
user to any other end user.

2.4 The purchase price payable by you for each licence key shall be determined by Cortex in its sole discretion
and unless otherwise separately agreed in
writing between you and Cortex, may vary between each purchase of Software made by you.

2.5 You acknowledge that Cortex may rely on a third party billing provider for identifying and recording all
purchases made by you in accordance with this
Agreement.

2.6 When you are approved by Cortex as a Reseller, Cortex will provide you with membership of its Reseller
programme (“Reseller Membership”) and may require you to make a payment for your membership.
The Reseller Membership provides you with
your on-line Reseller account where you can order products at a discount to their recommended retail price,
track orders and payments and manage licence
keys. The payment you make for your Reseller Membership is non-refundable, but will be credited by Cortex
against your future purchases of licence keys.
This credit however will expire if you do not make any purchases of licence keys from your Reseller account for
a continuous period of 12 months or more.

2.7 You must pay the purchase price for each licence key ordered by you from Cortex prior to the supply of the
licence key to you, or, where applicable, the renewal of the licence key, by Cortex. Subject to clause 2.8
below, Cortex will require you, at the time you become a Reseller, to provide Cortex with your credit card
details which you then agree to Cortex charging each time you make a purchase from Cortex.

2.8 In some circumstances, Cortex may separately agree in writing to allow you to purchase licence keys on
credit, in which case the following additional terms and conditions will apply:

3. Use of the Reseller Portal

4. Term/Termination

4.1 This Agreement and your participation in the Reseller Programme will commence from your appointment as a
Reseller of Cortex and may be terminated by
Cortex at any time with or without notice to you. Your failure to abide with these terms and conditions may
result in the immediate termination of this
Agreement by Cortex.

website, and any reference or link from your

materials and printed materials and cease any other marketing communications or programs which make reference to

6. Provision of Software Support

6.1 You will provide software support to end users to whom you resell the Software. You may install and use the
Software on your own computers for the
purposes of providing such software support and or use those copies of the Software for demonstration purposes (“NFR
Copies”).
The number of licences for NFR Copies which you may use for this purpose will be separately specified by Cortex
from time to time. Upon the termination of
this Agreement, you agree to delete all NFR Copies in your possession and Cortex will deactivate all licence
keys in respect of the same. You agree that
NFR Copies given to you are for your use only, and may not be resold or sublicensed to any other person.

6.2 You may contact Cortex for software support in respect of any end user queries or issues which you are
unable to resolve. The particular software
support to be provided to you by Cortex will, unless separately agreed between you and Cortex in writing, be to
the same level as generally provided by
Cortex to its other Resellers.

6.3 You acknowledge that Cortex may elect to provide software support to any end user to whom you sell the
Software who contacts Cortex requesting software
support.

6.4 You acknowledge and agree that Cortex has not made any warranty or representation that any software support
provided by Cortex will be provided in any
fixed period of time or to any particular standard, nor will Cortex be able to rectify the particular issue for
which you are seeking software support.
Cortex will only provide software support in respect of the Software and will not be under any obligation to
provide software support where the relevant
issue is not caused by the Software.

7. Taxes and third party charges

Unless specified to the contrary at the time you order any licence keys from Cortex in respect of the Software,
all monies payable by you to Cortex under
this Agreement (“Consideration”) are exclusive of all third party bank charges charged by your
bank on payments made to
Cortex, and exclusive of all taxes (including, without limitation, any GST, VAT, withholding taxes or other
taxes) which are levied, charged or imposed in
respect of the supply, sale or licensing of the Software to you. You will pay an additional amount to Cortex on
account of such taxes and charges, at the
same time as paying the Consideration, to ensure that following the deduction of such taxes and charges, Cortex
receives no less than the Consideration.

8. Use of Cortex Intellectual Property

8.1 Cortex hereby grants you a limited licence to make use of the Cortex name and logo on your website(s) which
relate to the Software and in any marketing
materials or communications for the Software. The Cortex name and logo may only be used on your website and in
such marketing materials in accordance with
the instructions of Cortex as may be specified by Cortex from time to time. Such licence will terminate upon the
termination of this Agreement.

8.2 You acknowledge and agree that your appointment as a Reseller in no way grants you any intellectual property
rights or other rights in the Software,
other than the right to re-sell the Software as granted by this Agreement. Any rights not granted to you under
this Agreement in respect of the Software
are expressly reserved by Cortex.

limitation, theCompetition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) or any state based consumer legislation), common
law or equity ( “Prescribed Terms”) into this Agreement which cannot be lawfully excluded, such
Prescribed Terms will apply, save that
Cortex’s liability for breach of any such Prescribed Terms will be limited, to the extent permitted by law, at
our option, to any one or more of the
following:

9.2 If our liability for breach of any Prescribed Terms are capable of exclusion, they are hereby excluded to

this Agreement or arising from your member of the Reseller Programme or the promotion of Cortex’s Software.

9.5 You agree that the maximum liability that we may have to you for any and all breaches of this Agreement will
be, for any one breach, the amount paid by
you to Cortex for the 3 month period occurring prior to the breach and, for all breaches, capped at the total
amount paid by you to Cortex under this
Agreement.

9.6 You acknowledge that you have exercised your independent judgment in entering into the Reseller Programme
and have not relied upon any representations
made by us which have not been stated expressly in this Agreement or upon any descriptions or illustrations or
specifications contained in any document
including catalogues or publicity material produced by us.

, for Australian consumers, Cortex’s products come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian
Consumer Law. If you are an
Australian consumer, you may be entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for
any other reasonably foreseeable loss or
damage. You may also be entitled to have any goods or services Cortex supplies you repaired or replaced if they
fail to be of acceptable quality and the
failure does not amount to a major failure. For more information about these rights please go to www.accc.gov.au.

Cortex’s notice and will apply to all orders of licence keys made by you from that date. You agree that you will
be bound by such amendments from the
date that you receive our notice. If you do not agree to the amendments contained in our notice, then you must
advise Cortex in writing of your
disagreement within 7 days of receiving the notice of amendment in which case your appointment as a Reseller

this Agreement supersedes all previous
agreements in respect of its subject matter and embodies the entire agreement between the parties.

terminate upon completion of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, but to the extent that they have not been fulfilled and satisfied or are

by the party or parties to be bound by the

any rights, powers or remedies provided independently of this Agreement, and cannot be assigned by the Reseller
without the prior written consent of
Cortex.

10.7 If any provision of this Agreement is judged invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever by a court
of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity
or unenforceability (unless deletion of such provision would materially adversely affect one of the parties)

interpretation of any other provision of this Agreement to the intent that the invalid or unenforceable
provision will be treated as severed from this
Agreement.

10.8 The parties acknowledge and agree that no rule of construction applies to the disadvantage of a party
because that party was responsible for the
preparation of this Agreement or part of it.
