NCR VOYIX CORPORATION
Sales order terms and conditions
1. Scope.
These terms and conditions apply to this Order, unless you have an effective NCR Voyix master agreement or other similar agreement, in which case those terms and conditions apply instead. This Order, together with these terms and conditions, is the complete statement of our agreement regarding the Products listed in this Order, superseding all oral and written communications concerning it. This Order is non-cancellable. “Products” mean software, cloud services, services, equipment, supplies, and deliverables provided by NCR Voyix to you under this Order.
2. Prices, Delivery, Invoices and Payment.
Product prices stated in this Order are applicable to this Order only. Prices do not include, and you will pay NCR Voyix for, all applicable shipping, insurance, installation and distribution charges, fuel surcharges, and any sales, use and like taxes (“Incidental Charges”). If payment is made at the time of placing the Order, then NCR Voyix will charge estimated Incidental Charges, which will be reconciled at the time of invoice through the same payment method. NCR Voyix may change its prices and rates at any time. If the Product is provided on a subscription or other recurring fee basis, fees are fixed for one year following the date of the applicable Order, and thereafter will be subject to annual adjustment by NCR Voyix. You are responsible for complying with NCR Voyix’s site preparation and other Product deployment guidelines. If NCR Voyix stores Products at your request, you will pay applicable storage fees. Title to Products (other than software and deliverables licensed to you) and risk of loss pass to you and delivery occurs when NCR Voyix has tendered the Products to: (a) the carrier for delivery to you or your agent; or (b) if you request NCR Voyix to store Products for you, the applicable storage facility. NCR Voyix will invoice you for equipment, software and supplies on delivery; in advance for recurring services and rental; and monthly for non-recurring services and deliverables. Payments are due upon your receipt of invoice. If NCR Voyix does not receive payment within 30 days of the invoice date, NCR Voyix reserves the rights to: (a) charge late fees of the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum allowed by law, (b) repossess the applicable Products, and (c) suspend services or other deliveries, without waiving NCR Voyix’s right to payment. NCR Voyix retains a purchase money security interest in each Product until you pay for it. You appoint NCR Voyix as your agent to sign and file a financing statement to perfect NCR Voyix’s interest.
3. Licenses and Intellectual Property.
3.1 Subject to payment of the applicable fees and your compliance with the terms of this Order, NCR Voyix grants you a non-exclusive, revocable, nontransferable, non-assignable, and limited license to use, in executable form only, the software listed and described in the Order (including software deliverables listed in an SOW), solely for your internal use, only during the term of the applicable Order, and as permitted by these terms and conditions. For software licensed on a perpetual basis, your right to use the software is based on a per device unit of measure, unless otherwise stated in the Order. This license terminates automatically if you violate this Section 3. On termination, you will immediately stop using the software and either return or destroy all copies. Software bearing the logo or copyright notice of a third party is subject to the third party’s license terms. You may not: copy software (except a single archival copy) or deliverables; transfer, assign, disclose, sublicense or distribute them to any party; or use them other than as allowed by this Order. NCR Voyix will consent to your transfer of software only to parties who sign NCR Voyix’s then-current order form or other license agreement and who pay any applicable fees. You will retain copyright notices and proprietary legends on all copies of software you possess or transfer. NCR Voyix or its licensors retain ownership of all software and deliverables. You will not take any steps, such as reverse assembly or reverse compilation, to derive a source code equivalent of software. The terms of this Section 3 will apply to any fixes, patches, derivatives, updates, and upgrades which NCR Voyix may provide to you. You are not licensed to use any diagnostic tools that NCR Voyix may provide, and agree not to copy or use them, or disclose them to any third party without NCR Voyix’s express written consent. NCR Voyix may delete or remove diagnostic tools at any time without notice. DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”.
3.2 All intellectual property rights in and to Products, NCR Voyix documentation, and other intellectual property used by NCR Voyix to provide the Products, and all releases, revisions, modifications, improvements, enhancements, extensions, or derivatives thereof or thereto, whether made by you or otherwise, are and will remain, or will be, owned by NCR Voyix or its licensors.
4. Equipment & Software Maintenance Services.
4.1 Maintenance services have an initial term as stated in this Order that will automatically renew for additional one year terms unless you or NCR Voyix provide written notice of non-renewal at least 90 days prior to the renewal date. NCR Voyix may change its prices and rates for time and material services at any time.
4.2 During the term of an equipment maintenance service contract, NCR Voyix will maintain covered NCR Voyix equipment to operate in accordance with its published specifications, and covered non-NCR Voyix equipment to operate substantially as it did at the time of original purchase, normal wear and tear excepted. NCR Voyix’s prepaid maintenance services include parts, and labor during covered hours. Within 90 days of accepting an Order for maintenance services, NCR Voyix may inspect and refurbish at your expense any covered equipment not then under NCR Voyix maintenance or which anyone other than NCR Voyix has installed or serviced. NCR Voyix is not obligated to provide software services for any supported software that has been altered other than by NCR Voyix or at NCR Voyix’s direction. The life of equipment is dependent on its installation environment and level of use. NCR Voyix may move equipment to “end of life” support status by providing at least one year notice. NCR Voyix will continue to maintain Equipment in end of life status on a best efforts basis, subject to the availability of parts, but that equipment will no longer be included in any service level commitment or performance guarantee.
4.3 Further, for equipment maintenance services, you will complete your responsibilities relating to the maintenance services as described in any attached SOW. You will provide NCR Voyix with a list of all equipment and locations to be supported hereunder as of the effective date. You are responsible for selecting and operating the equipment, for providing back-up equipment and services, and for safeguarding all programs and data, and removing, controlling, and reloading any funds contained in the equipment. You will provide NCR Voyix service personnel with safe and reasonable access, working space, and facilities. You will provide access to your networks, systems, data and relevant information, as necessary, to allow NCR Voyix to perform services. You will allocate appropriate resources and use all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid delay. If a unit of equipment has been in service for more than five years and incurs excessive service actions due to its age, operating environment, or level of use, NCR Voyix may request to perform a customer-chargeable overhaul to extend its useful life. If you are unwilling to pay for the overhaul, NCR Voyix may terminate Services with respect to that unit of equipment upon 90 days written notice.
4.4 During the term of a software maintenance contract, NCR Voyix will provide certain software maintenance and support services for software if designated on this Order. Software support may include correction of software problem and entitlement to certain software point releases and patch releases. A software problem is a reproducible and observable operating condition that causes the software not to function according to its then-current user-level documentation. NCR Voyix will accept a request for services through the NCR Voyix support web site, by e-mail, or by telephone, as instructed by NCR Voyix, during Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm US Eastern Time, excluding federally observed holidays. NCR Voyix and you will agree upon the criticality of the service request and NCR Voyix will use reasonable efforts to respond to your requests for services during this period based on target response times. If NCR Voyix’s investigation confirms the existence of the software problem, NCR Voyix will endeavor to correct it or to provide you an alternative, which may include implementing a temporary work-around or changes to the applicable documentation. A software problem will be deemed resolved 30 days after NCR Voyix provides a correction or alternative, unless you notify NCR Voyix within that time that it persists. Services beyond the scope described in this Order may be available either on a pre-paid or time and material basis at your request.
4.5 Further, for software maintenance services, you are responsible for providing a help desk to receive calls from your end users that is knowledgeable in procedures for diagnosing and solving system problems that are user-solvable, and will serve as the initial point of contact for service requests. Your help desk will at a minimum: (i) isolate the software problem from hardware or operational problems; (ii) offer potential resolutions to the person reporting the problem; (iii) ensure that a supported version of the software with all recommended patches is being used; and (iv) ensure that all end-user reports of difficulty are validated against the configuration guidelines before requesting service. If your help desk cannot resolve the software problem, you will report it to NCR Voyix with as much information as possible to effect an efficient resolution. You are responsible for (i) providing NCR Voyix with remote connectivity to the software; (ii) safeguarding all programs, data, and removable storage media before services begin and, if necessary, reinstalling programs and data; (iii) copying, distributing, and installing/de-installing each software release and maintaining master media at the latest release level; and (iv) testing any new functionality that may be included in a release. System administration, installation, and integration services, including backup and restoral of programs and data, are also your responsibility.
5. Warranties.
5.1 NCR Voyix warrants that equipment, software, deliverables and supplies bearing NCR Voyix’s logo or copyright will be free from defects in material and manufacturing, and will materially conform to NCR Voyix’s published specifications in effect on the purchase date, for 90 days after delivery (30 days for software, deliverables, and supplies). If during the warranty period you notify NCR Voyix of any material non-conformance, NCR Voyix will correct the non-conformity (through repair, replacement or otherwise) in accordance with its standard warranty service terms and this Order. If NCR Voyix does not succeed within a reasonable time, you may return the defective Product for a refund.

If NCR Voyix is still unsuccessful, NCR Voyix will refund your payments to NCR Voyix for those services.
5.3 Equipment may include used or refurbished components, which are warranted to function equivalent to new. Problems not covered by NCR Voyix’s warranties include those resulting from: unauthorized alterations or attachments; negligence, abuse or misuse, including failure to operate the Product in accordance with specifications or interface requirements; failure of goods or services not obtained from NCR Voyix or not subject to a then-effective NCR Voyix warranty or maintenance agreement; improper handling, use or storage of supplies; and, fire, water, acts of God or other catastrophic events. NCR Voyix makes no warranty that data or analysis is correct or accurate or that a Product will yield any specific business result, even if an expected business result is identified elsewhere in this Order. NCR Voyix does not warrant that Products will operate uninterrupted or error free, or that all deficiencies, errors, defects or non-conformities will be corrected. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE STATED HEREIN, THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES, ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
