5. WARNINGS RELATING TO EQUIPMENT.

5.1. The Client is advised that it may only install, run, and operate the Software Products on/with certain devices, equipment, and accessories that meet the technical characteristics and specifications specified by LUDUS ("Equipment"). For these purposes, the Equipment required to use the Software Products will be displayed during the electronic ordering process.

If the purchase order includes the leasing of the equipment, this will be regulated by the criteria established in ANNEX I. If the purchase order does not include the equipment, it must be purchased by the Client, at its sole expense, and Ludus may facilitate the process.

5.3. If the Client decides to purchase all or part of the Equipment through LUDUS, LUDUS will do so only to expedite and facilitate the process, but with the understanding that it will only be purchased on behalf of and at the Client's expense. The Client must pay LUDUS the corresponding purchase price before LUDUS makes the purchase. For these purposes, the purchase price of the Equipment will be displayed during the license contracting process and will be charged to the credit card or bank account specified by the Client during the processing process at the time the Client confirms the order. Once the payment has been processed and the order confirmation has been received, the Equipment order cannot be cancelled or modified.

If the Client purchases the Equipment through LUDUS, LUDUS will deliver the Equipment to the Client with the Software Products installed. Shipping costs to the address indicated by the Client will be borne by the Client and their amount will be shown during order processing, before making payment. If applicable, any customs fees, duties and/or export costs to countries located outside the EEA will be borne by the Client.

6. LICENSE MODALITIES

6.1. The Software Products may be contracted under the following modality:

6.1.1 Ludus Software Subscription : Unlimited access to all Software products, offline, on a single device (PC and Glasses) on an unlimited basis (with no limit on hours of use). You will have instant access to all software products published on the platform. These training sessions will be delivered in person or online, as determined by the trainer. You will also have a simulation exercise report, access to nominal metrics and metrics per trainer, a personal account manager, and premium support (monthly equipment maintenance for equipment updates and commissioning), and a monthly commissioning refresher meeting upon request (once per quarter). All specified sessions will always be online. Notwithstanding the fact that the fee is paid monthly, the License has a minimum duration of one year (" Minimum Contract Period "), with the option of renting the equipment or not. The conditions for renting the equipment are set out in ANNEX I.

The service will offer unlimited access to products/updates that do not contain new learning loads.

The customer will be granted access to technical sheets and training materials for each product. Support will be provided via email, with a response within two (2) business days (excluding Spanish national holidays). This contract will include updates that LUDUS may incorporate into the Software Products.

All subscription products that Ludus creates on its gateway will be associated with a training program and will be governed by the characteristics of that new product. Clients with a contract prior to these general conditions will be able to enjoy the same conditions until they cancel their current license. Once they have canceled and wish to re-acquire a Ludus license, they must adhere to these general conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Ludus reserves the right to apply the general conditions and the quote in effect at the time of the client's license renewal, provided that the client is notified at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the date of said renewal. Following renewal and prior notice, the conditions updated by Ludus will apply, and may affect both the general conditions described in this document and the rest of the aspects present in the quote initially accepted by the client, unless the client cancels their license in accordance with the procedure established in clause 9.2.

The equipment leasing option is only valid for countries within the European Union, Mexico, and Spain. For other countries , and if the customer so chooses, Ludus will sell the equipment, and the customer must pay for it before shipment.

6.1.2 Ludus Commercial Software Subscription: This subscription option is expressly intended for exclusively commercial purposes, such as demonstrations, trade shows, promotional events, or similar activities. Under no circumstances may it be used for training purposes, even occasionally, by the Client or third parties. If LUDUS detects misuse of the license, especially if it is used for training or coaching activities, the Client shall be obliged to immediately pay the amount corresponding to a full training license at the then-current retail price (RRP), without any discounts or preferential conditions .

6.2. The plans indicated do not include the equipment that may be necessary to operate new Software Products, which will be specified by LUDUS at the time.

6.3. The prices indicated do not include VAT or any other applicable taxes, which will be charged to the Client at the time of invoicing. The specific terms and conditions displayed during the electronic contracting process will prevail, in the event of a conflict, over the provisions of these general terms and conditions. If the Client purchases the license under a promotion or free trial, the purchased license will automatically become a paid license at the end of the promotion or free trial period.

6.4. The subscription will begin when the Client completes the electronic contracting process on the Website and makes payment for the contracted License type on the "Subscription Start Date."

6.5. The installation of the Software Products on the Client's computer(s) will always be carried out by LUDUS or under LUDUS's instructions.

7. RENEWAL, CANCELLATION AND MODIFICATION OF LICENSES.

7.2. Subscription periods will be calculated in all cases from the Subscription Start Date. Thus, the next annual subscription will begin on the corresponding day and month of the following year. LUDUS will not accept any cancellation without prior notice; in the absence of such notice, the contracted license will be automatically renewed for the next annual subscription period.

7.3. In the event of cancellation pursuant to this section, the License will be deactivated on the last day of the current annual subscription period, and from that moment on, this Agreement will automatically terminate, without prejudice to the Client's obligation to pay any amounts pending invoice or payment that were due prior to the License termination date. Cancellation of the License will automatically result in the cancellation of any associated equipment leasing that the Client may have contracted.

7.4. Likewise, cancellation of the License before the end of the Minimum Contract Period will entail the obligation for the client to pay the total amount of the monthly fees corresponding to the remaining period or, if the license was contracted in a single annual payment, LUDUS will not be obligated to refund any amount to the client.

 

8. BILLING AND PAYMENT OF LICENSES.

8.1. Invoicing and payment of the price of the Licenses will be carried out under the following conditions:

The price will be invoiced and paid at the time of contracting the License and, thereafter, will be automatically invoiced and paid at the beginning of each new annual subscription period. The price may also be settled monthly, within the first [five (5) days] of the month, if so agreed between LUDUS and the client.

8.2. Payments will be made in all cases by credit card charge, bank transfer, or direct debit to the bank account indicated by the Client during the contracting process. By accepting this Agreement, the Client authorizes LUDUS to charge or debit said credit card or bank account, on the periodicity and terms described, all amounts accrued to LUDUS under this Agreement for the license/subscription, until the License is canceled by the Client in accordance with the provisions of section 7 or until the Agreement is terminated in accordance with the provisions of section 11. LUDUS may provide additional payment methods to facilitate payment for licenses to its clients.

8.2. The person accepting this Agreement on behalf of and for the account of the Client expressly declares that the Client is the holder of the credit card or bank account specified in the contract form or that he or she is duly authorized to authorize the charging of the amounts derived from this Agreement to the same.

8.3. The Client shall be responsible for notifying LUDUS of any changes to the payment information provided, so that LUDUS can charge the amounts accrued to the Client throughout the term of the Agreement. Any costs incurred or resulting from LUDUS's inability to charge the Client's payment methods shall be borne by the Client.

8.4. In the event that, for any reason, the Client delays payment for the license/subscription/equipment rental, they must pay Ludus: a. late payment interest at the agreed rate corresponding to the legal interest rate plus 2% per week for the duration of the delay; b. In addition, the Client will be obligated to pay €35.00, plus VAT, as a penalty; and c. In the event of a second request by Ludus, the Client will also be obligated to pay €90.00, plus VAT, without prejudice to LUDUS's right to terminate this Agreement definitively once 15 days have passed since the Client has notified us of the non-payment and has not paid the outstanding amounts.

8.5. The Client agrees to receive invoices electronically via the contact person and email address specified in the contract form.

9. MODIFICATION OF CONDITIONS.

9.1. LUDUS reserves the right to modify prices and/or terms at any time, providing the Customer with written notice via email at least 30 days prior to their effective date. In the case of annual licenses, any changes will only apply from the next annual subscription period and will not affect the current period.

9.2. If the Client is not interested in maintaining its license under the new conditions communicated, it will have the right to terminate this Agreement and cancel the license it had contracted at that time by writing to LUDUS at soporte@ludusglobal.com , at least fifteen (15) days before the changes come into effect according to the communication made by LUDUS. The cancellation of the License by the Client for this reason will not entitle it to claim any financial compensation from LUDUS.

9.3. Once the changes become effective, the new prices and terms communicated will apply. If the Client uses the Software Products after the changes become effective without expressly objecting to them, the new contractual terms will be deemed fully accepted, without prejudice to the License cancellation conditions established in clause 7.

10. UPDATES, MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT.

10.1. The price of the Licenses includes corrective maintenance of the Software Products, as well as any updates that LUDUS may periodically develop for them, and access to new products developed by Ludus under the conditions set forth in section 6.

10.2. It is expressly noted that, although the Software Products have been designed to operate offline once installed on the corresponding equipment, the installation of updates and access to remote maintenance services by LUDUS necessarily require that the equipment on which the Software Products are installed be connected to the Internet at least once a month for the time necessary for all updates to be downloaded and installed.

10.3. If, for maintenance or security reasons, a major update is required, LUDUS will inform the Client by email. If the Client does not connect their equipment(s) and perform the recommended updates, LUDUS will be held harmless from any incidents that may arise as a result.

10.4. LUDUS will provide assistance and support to the Client to resolve any issues that may arise during the operation of the Software Products. The price of the Licenses includes a basic email support service, with a response within two business days. (Spanish national holidays not included)

11. WARRANTIES, EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

11.1. LUDUS makes the Software Products available to the Client with the functionalities and in the state of development in which they are found at the date of signing this Agreement. LUDUS only guarantees the level of development in which the Software Products are at the time of contracting, without guaranteeing or committing any type of uncommitted functionality, any expectations of satisfaction that the Client may have, or the ability to use them for specific purposes, activities, functions, or actions that have not been specifically detailed by LUDUS. In any case, LUDUS may, at its discretion, incorporate new functionalities and improvements into the Software Products, and the Clients may enjoy said functionalities according to the criteria established in section 6.

11.2. The Client is solely responsible for determining whether the Software Products and their functionalities meet its needs and fulfill the purposes for which it contracts them. Therefore, LUDUS declines any liability should they not meet the Client's specific needs or expectations.

11.3. Ludus offers its clients the option of renting equipment, as provided in section 6, and under the characteristics stipulated in ANNEX I. In the event that the client wishes to acquire the hardware necessary to operate the platform, LUDUS does not guarantee the compatibility, functionality and/or interoperability of the Software Products with devices, accessories, terminals or equipment that do not meet the specifications or technical requirements specified by LUDUS. In cases where the client deems it appropriate, or outside of the countries of the European Union, Mexico or Spain, the Equipment to operate the Software Products must be acquired by the Client at its sole expense and, once acquired, will become its property. The price of the Licenses may or may not include equipment renting as provided in the purchase order, and under the stipulations of section 6 and ANNEX I.

11.4. Without prejudice to the fact that LUDUS cannot guarantee that the Software Products are error-free and operate uninterruptedly, LUDUS assumes the responsibility of ensuring that the Software Products will operate in a manner substantially similar to the functionalities specified at the time of contracting, as well as acting at all times in a competent and professional manner to resolve any possible incidents affecting them. In any case, LUDUS will only assume responsibility for resolving those incidents that have their origin and direct cause in errors or defects attributable to LUDUS or its personnel. The guarantee offered by LUDUS only applies to the Software Products and includes the correction of errors or correction of operating defects that become apparent while the Client has an active license and is up to date with its payment . The guarantee for rented equipment is stipulated in ANNEX I, while LUDUS does not offer any guarantee with respect to the Equipment that the Client has acquired directly or through LUDUS; The Client understands and accepts that any non-conformity or incident related to the Equipment will only be covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

11.5. In any case, the LUDUS warranty does not cover possible operating defects: (i) arising from manufacturing defects, incidents or errors in the Equipment on which the Software Products are installed or with which they are operated or from knocks, breakages or damage affecting the Client's equipment and accessories, or that are a consequence of the opening, repair or manipulation of the Equipment by any third party other than LUDUS; ( ii ) caused by unauthorized or inappropriate use of the Software Products or the Equipment in contravention of the user manuals and other technical documentation made available to the Client; ( iii ) those arising as a consequence of incompatibility or inadequacy with accessories, devices, spare parts or third-party products that do not meet the minimum specifications indicated by LUDUS with respect to the Equipment; ( iv ) those arising from breakdowns, fluctuations, outages or any type of interruptions or incidents that affect the systems, equipment or facilities of the Client or third parties, which are due to circumstances of force majeure or incidents beyond the control of LUDUS, such as computer attacks, power outages or telecommunications network failures.

11.6. In the event that LUDUS's warranty is applicable pursuant to this Agreement, any defects or errors affecting the Software Products will be corrected as quickly as possible. In cases where critical errors occur that prevent or completely render impossible the use of the Software Products, LUDUS undertakes to make its best efforts to resolve such critical incidents in a diligent and professional manner, maintaining active communication regarding progress, with detailed information about the errors or problems detected. As a measure to mitigate potential interruptions in the Client's operations during the process of resolving critical incidents that prevent substantial use of the Software Products, LUDUS will provide the Client with reconditioned replacement equipment so that the Client may continue using the platform offline until the incident is resolved. If the critical error cannot be remedied or requires commercially excessive time or resources to remedy, LUDUS will notify the Client of this circumstance, and the Client shall be entitled to retain the replacement Equipment provided by Ludus. The Client acknowledges and agrees that this—the possibility of canceling the license and obtaining a proportional discount or refund of the License price—will be its sole remedy if it is deprived of the use of the Software Products due to a critical error or defect attributable to LUDUS and LUDUS exceeds the stated resolution period or is unable to remedy it under commercially reasonable conditions, expressly waiving any claim for any type of compensation or indemnity for indirect or incidental damages, lost profits, lost revenue, or any similar concepts.

11.7. Any liability that LUDUS may incur in connection with this Agreement with the Client shall be limited solely to direct damages that the Client may suffer as a result of a breach or gross negligence attributable to LUDUS. In no event shall LUDUS's maximum liability to the Client exceed an amount equivalent to the amounts paid by the Client for the contracting of the License and the leasing of equipment during the 12 months prior to the occurrence of the event or circumstance that may give rise to liability. The express limitation of liability contained in this clause is assumed by the Client as an essential and inexcusable condition for LUDUS to enter into this Agreement.

11.8. In any case, the Client is solely responsible for the use of the Software Products and for taking the necessary measures to ensure proper and safe installation and use by its employees and the end recipients of the training sessions. Consequently, the Client releases LUDUS from all liability for any type of damage or harm that the Client or third parties may suffer as a result of the use of the Software Products and/or the associated training equipment, and undertakes to hold LUDUS harmless from any claim or liability that may be incurred for such reasons.

12. TERMINATION OF THE CONTRACT.
