2.2 Core Software Modules:
- a. consist of standard, prewritten software, delivered electronically;
- b. are installed and operate within the Customer’s enterprise systems (for example, in the case of Modules for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, software is deployed, using standard JDE package-build and deployment processes, to the enterprise servers and end-user clients supporting that environment, making it available to authorized users and machines within the Customer’s JDE implementation); and
- c. include (as updated from time to time) modules for use with the following third-party systems:

- b. Each Product category is separately licensed and priced. Where multiple Products are purchased together, any volume or multi-module discount does not affect their separate licensing or contractual treatment.
- c. Where Products are used together, any interoperability or combined use does not alter their separate pricing or contractual treatment.
2.6 Excluded Services:
No live training workshops, audit-related analysis, consulting, or other human-delivered activities are included in the supply of the Products. Such activities are outside the scope of these Terms & Conditions; and, if agreed, are contracted separately under a distinct written agreement.
3. License Grant and Use
3.1 Grant of License:
Subject to these Terms & Conditions, Gate grants the Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Gate Products specified in an agreed Quotation. The license is limited to the scope, metrics and License Period specified in the applicable Quotation.
3.2 Core Software Modules
- a. Licensing is subscription-based, unless expressly identified as perpetual in the applicable Quotation or any legacy agreement. The Customer’s right to use Modules ceases upon expiry or non-renewal of a License Period.
- b. Where a perpetual license has been expressly granted, the Customer is granted a perpetual license to use the version of the Module made available at the time of purchase, subject to these Terms & Conditions. Access to Updates or newer versions is provided only during any active renewal or maintenance period specified in a Quotation.
3.3 Software Accelerator Tools

One View Watchlists can be used where the Customer holds an appropriate Oracle license to “One View Reporting Foundation” (or other applicable Oracle component), which is outside Gate’s responsibility. If the Customer does not hold the required Oracle license, Watchlist integration functionality will not be available. All other UXPlus Risk Alert UDOs (including Pages, Forms, Queries and Cafe1) and functionality (including Change Control & Auditing and Breach & Access Alerting) will continue to operate as standard.
3.4 Learning Tool – the ALLOut Consulting Academy:
Access to the Academy is on a subscription basis during the applicable License Period, solely for internal training purposes. Upon expiry or termination of an Academy subscription, the Customer must cease using the Academy and delete or destroy any Academy course materials downloaded during the subscription. No perpetual right to use or retain Academy content is granted.
3.5 Affiliates:
“Affiliate” means, with respect to a Party, any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with that Party. The Customer may permit its Affiliates to use the Products for the Customer’s internal business purposes within the licensed scope and metrics specified in the applicable Quotation, provided that such Affiliates comply with these Terms & Conditions. The Customer remains responsible for all use of the Products by its Affiliates and for compliance with these Terms & Conditions.
3.6 Updates:
Gate may release updates, enhancements, and bug fixes (“Updates”) as part of its standard product development process. Access to Updates is provided during any License Period, or active renewal or maintenance period specified in the applicable Quotation. Updates are made available at Gate’s discretion as part of general product releases and are not provided as customer-specific services.
3.7 License Restrictions and Conditions:
The Customer’s rights to use the Products are subject to the following conditions:
- a. License Nature: Gate Products are licensed, not sold, and no ownership rights are transferred. Licenses are limited in scope as specified in the applicable Quotation;
- b. Permitted Use: All Products are designed and licensed for use solely for the Customer’s internal business, trade, or organizational purposes. Core Software Modules are designed and licensed for deployment within the Customer’s JD Edwards environment (or, for Trace, the applicable Oracle or IBM i database environment). Software Accelerator Tools are designed and licensed to interface with the Customer’s JD Edwards environment. The Customer must notify Gate if this does not accurately describe its intended deployment or use.
- c. No Transfer or Third-Party Use: The Customer may not transfer, sublicense, distribute, or otherwise make available the Products to any third party, except as expressly permitted for Affiliates under Clause 3.5;
- d. Copying and Backup: The Customer may not copy, reproduce, or duplicate the Products except for copies strictly necessary for installation and internal use within the licensed environment, together with backup copies and one archival copy. No other copying is permitted. The Customer may not create multiple copies for general distribution, deployment across environments beyond the licensed scope, or for use by unlicensed users. Gate will provide a replacement copy in the event of loss or damage. Any copy of the Products may only be used in accordance with these Terms & Conditions and within the scope of a valid SPC; and
- e. End of License Obligations: Upon termination, expiry or non-renewal of any term license, the Customer must immediately cease all use of the relevant Products and destroy or return all copies in its possession or control and ensure that any Affiliates permitted to use the Products under Clause 3.5 do the same. Upon request, the Customer will certify its compliance in writing. For avoidance of doubt, for any product licensed on a perpetual basis, the Customer may continue to use the version made available at the time of purchase, subject to these Terms and Conditions.
4. Delivery, Access and Support Model
4.1 Delivery:
All Gate Products are delivered electronically. No physical media is provided.
- a. Core Software Modules and Software Accelerator Tools are downloadable via the Customer Portal, which may be accessed using an authorized Customer email domain only. All rights of use arise solely upon issuance of a valid SPC. Gate does not provide any hosted, SaaS, or managed service access.
- b. The Academy is accessed online via the Customer Portal, using an authorized Customer email domain only.
4.2 Access and Software Protection Codes (SPCs)
- a. Use of Core Software Modules and Software Accelerator Tools requires a valid (separate) SPC issued by Gate. Gate will provide an SPC to validly licensed Customers for the duration of the License Period. Each SPC defines and technically enforces the licensed scope, including where applicable the licensed Modules/Tools, the number of authorized users or deployments, and the License Period (expiry date), as specified in the Quotation. In the case of Core Software Modules, each SPC is generated based on system-specific information provided by the Customer and is tied to the relevant licensed environment (e.g., site code or deployment server). Without a valid SPC, the software will not process data or perform any functional operations. These controls do not limit the Customer’s perpetual license to use the version of a Module or Tool made available at the time of purchase.
- b. In the case of the Academy, access is limited to authorized users within the Customer’s organization (based on email address domain), and for the duration of the License Period.
4.3 Data Residency and Operation:
Core Software Modules and Software Accelerator Tools operate solely within the Customer’s own IT environment, and Customer System Data remains within the Customer’s systems. Gate does not host, run, or make available any functionality of the software for remote access on infrastructure controlled by Gate.
4.4 Product Support Resources:
- a. Gate makes available documentation, learning materials, videos, software updates, and product change request processes through the Customer Portal to support Customer use.
- b. Environment-specific implementation, configuration, troubleshooting, operational support, and project activities remain the responsibility of the Customer or its chosen service provider. Product fees do not include consultant-led technical support, helpdesk services, environment-specific troubleshooting, implementation or configuration.
- c. All materials, guidance, and information provided by Gate are general in nature and do not constitute consulting, advisory, implementation services, project management, or professional advice.
- d. Where the Customer requires external assistance, Gate may recommend independent service providers from its partner network. Such providers act independently of Gate, and Gate is not responsible for their services, which are contracted separately.
5. Fees and Product Structure
5.1 Product Structure:
The fees for each Product are as stated in the applicable Quotation. Each Product category is separately priced unless expressly stated otherwise. The Quotation will identify each Product and Product category separately, including applicable fees, license terms, and duration.
5.2 Payment terms are net 30 days after Customer’s receipt of an undisputed invoice.
5.3 Tax
- a. Fees are exclusive of applicable taxes. The Customer is responsible for all sales, use, value added, withholding, or similar taxes, duties, or levies arising from or in connection with the supply or use of the Products, except taxes based on Gate’s income. Where Gate is required by law to collect and remit any such tax, it will be charged to the Customer in addition to the applicable fees.
- b. The Customer must promptly notify Gate if the Products are delivered to, received at, deployed at, or used from a location different from the billing address where that location may affect the applicable tax treatment. Where Gate does not have a more specific location relevant under applicable law, Gate may, where permitted by applicable law, use the Customer address maintained in its ordinary business records, ordinarily the billing address.
- c. The Customer must provide accurate and complete tax-related information reasonably requested by Gate and must promptly notify Gate of any material inaccuracy, expiration or change.
- d. Where Gate does not charge sales or similar transaction tax, the Customer remains responsible for any applicable self-assessment, reporting or payment obligation.

Users without access to the Production environment (test users) or signing into JD Edwards once or less per month (e.g., self-service) may be excluded. The Customer is responsible for the accuracy of usage data, and will on request provide reasonable verification.
5.5 Core Software Modules for JD Edwards World only:
licensing fees are based on: (i) the IBM Program Group(s) of production computer(s)/LPAR(s) and (ii) Module fees. Multiple production computer(s)/LPAR(s) will be licensed separately.
