1.1     Deployment  Models: Subject  to  the  terms  and conditions of this Agreement, you may access the Synopsys Products via the Synopsys Cloud Portal in one or both of the following environments:

1.1.1     BYOC deployment: this option allows you to install and use the Synopsys Product in a cloud environment for which you are responsible. The BYOC, including the Cloud Provider, must be approved by Synopsys in writing, and such approval may be provided under the applicable Cloud Purchase Agreement. Use of any Synopsys Products Deployed on a BYOC will only be on a Pay Per Use basis; or

1.1.2     SaaS deployment: this option allows you to use Synopsys Product Deployed on a SaaS Basis. The relevant Synopsys Product will be hosted by Synopsys in a dedicated environment provided by Synopsys’ third party cloud provider and allocated for your use based on your Infrastructure selections.

Not all Synopsys Products may be available for a BYOC deployment or SaaS deployment. Synopsys will use commercially reasonable efforts to release and make available each of the deployment models to you, but Synopsys does not guarantee, and disclaims any representations or warranties with respect to, the timing of any release or availability.

1.2     Ordering on Synopsys Cloud Portal: You will be responsible for ensuring that all information you provide in the Synopsys Cloud Portal is accurate and complete and that any person placing an order or making a selection on your behalf has your authority to do so.

You may also be requested to provide any other information Synopsys may need to fulfill your order.

1.3     Cloud Purchase Agreements: You and Synopsys may enter into one or more Cloud Purchase Agreements that will be governed by these Terms and Conditions. Each Cloud Purchase Agreement will be associated with a unique Synopsys Cloud Portal Account and a unique Synopsys Cloud Credit Account. You will provide any information requested by Synopsys to open such Synopsys Cloud Portal Account. Each Cloud Purchase Agreement will be uniquely associated with a specific Synopsys Cloud Portal Account and Synopsys Cloud Credits, applicable rates for consumption of Synopsys Cloud Credits and other terms and conditions applicable to a Specific Cloud Portal Account, and are not transferrable to any other Synopsys Cloud Portal Account. The Cloud Purchase Agreement will govern, as applicable, the Standard Rate, Overage Rate, and Cloud Subscription License Rate that will apply to your use of all Synopsys Products accessed via the Synopsys Cloud Portal Account associated with such Cloud Purchase Agreement. In the event there is any conflict or inconsistency between a Cloud Purchase Agreement and these Terms and Conditions, the Cloud Purchase Agreement will prevail to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency.

1.4     Account Credentials; End Users:  You are and will remain solely responsible and liable for the use and confidentiality of the Account Credentials, and for all activities, charges, Synopsys Cloud Credit deductions, losses (including losses resulting from any deletion, modification or export of Customer Data) and damages that: (a) occur using the Account Credentials or as a result of access to your Synopsys Cloud Portal Account, whether or not authorized by you, or (b) result from you or your End Users’ access to or use of a Synopsys Product, whether or not authorized by you.

6.1     Service Level: Subject to Section 6.4, Synopsys will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the SLA Elements available for your use with a Monthly Uptime Percentage of at least 99.9% (“SLA”), during any whole calendar month. Monthly Uptime Percentage is calculated by subtracting from 100% the percentage of minutes during the relevant calendar month in which the relevant SLA Element was in the state of Unavailability. For the avoidance of any doubt, the SLA and Monthly Uptime Percentage do not apply to any Synopsys products licensed under this Agreement or any other agreement between you and Synopsys

6.2     Service Credits: In the event any SLA Element does not meet the SLA, you will be eligible to receive a credit to your Synopsys Cloud Credit Account equal to the total number of Synopsys Cloud Credits used with respect to such SLA Element under the applicable Cloud Purchase Agreement in the calendar month in which the Unavailability occurred multiplied by the appropriate Service Credit Percentage.

6.3     Credit Request and Payment Procedures: In the event you reasonably believe a Service Credit is applicable as a result of Unavailability, you must request such Service Credit within 30 days of the end of the month in which such Unavailability occurred. Any such request must be in writing, identifying the specific SLA Elements that were Unavailable and the days/times during which such Unavailability occurred. Synopsys may, within a reasonable period of time after receipt of such notice, investigate such Unavailability, and you agree to provide Synopsys with reasonable assistance with such investigation. If Synopsys confirms such Unavailability, the Service Credit will be applied to your Synopsys Cloud Credit Account. If Synopsys determines that a Service Credit is not applicable, Synopsys will provide you with reasonable available information supporting such determination.

6.4     SLA Exclusions: The SLA does not apply to (and you will not be entitled to any Service Credit for) any Unavailability, directly or indirectly: (a) caused by factors outside of Synopsys’ reasonable control, including any force majeure event or Internet access or related problems beyond the demarcation point of the applicable SLA Element; (b) that result from any actions or inactions of you or any third party, including a breach of this Agreement by you or your breach of any terms of use of Synopsys’ relevant cloud provider; (c) that result from your equipment, software or other technology and/or third party equipment, software or other technology (other than third party equipment within Synopsys’ direct control); (d) that arise from Synopsys’ suspension or termination of your right to use the applicable SLA Element in accordance with the Agreement; or

(e) caused by your failure to follow Synopsys’ reasonable directions.

6.5     Security: Synopsys’ sole obligation with respect to network and data security will be to require its cloud service providers through which any of the SLA Elements are made available, or any of your data is stored (including any Designs), to provide commercially reasonable security measures aligned with industry standards. Synopsys will have no obligation to enhance or supplement such measures and you will be solely responsible for determining the adequacy of such measures for your data and/or use of the Synopsys Products. Except as set forth in this Section 6, Synopsys will have no responsibility or liability that may result from any unauthorized access to any network or for any lost, damaged, altered, or unavailable data.

6.6     Exclusive Remedy: Synopsys’ sole and exclusive liability, and your sole and exclusive remedy, for any Unavailability of any SLA Element or any failure to satisfy the requirements of the SLA is payment of the Service Credits in accordance with this Section 6. Synopsys will not otherwise be liable for any Unavailability of any SLA Element or any failure to meet the SLA.

7. Evaluation License or Access

7.1     Evaluation License or Access: Synopsys may provide you with a license for a Synopsys Product Deployed on a BYOC or access to a Synopsys Product Deployed on a SaaS Basis, on an evaluation basis. In such event, Synopsys will provide you with Evaluation Cloud Credits, which will only be valid for a limited period of time and, at the expiration of such time period, the Evaluation Cloud Credits will automatically expire. Such Evaluation Cloud Credits will be consumed in accordance with the rates for consumption of Evaluation Cloud Credits set forth in the Synopsys Cloud Portal. Evaluation Cloud Credits cannot be used in connection with the use of any Synopsys Products on a production or commercial basis. In the event you breach this Section 7.1, without limiting any rights or remedies that may be available to Synopsys, you will pay to Synopsys a fee equal to Synopsys’ then-current list price, plus support, for the on- premise commercial version of a perpetual license for such Synopsys Product. You agree that damages for such a breach would be difficult to assess, and such payment represents a reasonable assessment of the potential damage to Synopsys. You recognize and agree that this amount is a reasonable, liquidated amount and not a penalty.

7.2     Evaluation Termination: Upon the date your Evaluation Cloud Credits expire or have been fully consumed pursuant to Section 7.1, you must (a) cease access and use of all Synopsys Products to which you gained access and use through such Evaluation Cloud Credits; and (b) delete and destroy all Customer Data resulting from, or created through, all Synopsys Products to which you gained access and use through such Evaluation Cloud Credits.

10. Credits and Payment

10.1     Purchase of Synopsys Cloud Credits: In order to access and use the Synopsys Products pursuant to this Agreement, you must purchase Synopsys Cloud Credits from Synopsys pursuant to a Cloud Purchase Agreement. Upon the parties entering into a Cloud Purchase Agreement, you will be invoiced in accordance with Section 10.6 and the applicable Cloud Purchase Agreement. Synopsys Cloud Credits in a Synopsys Cloud Credit Account are uniquely associated with the Synopsys Cloud Portal Account created for you as set forth in Section 1.4. Synopsys Cloud Credits are non-refundable, non- transferable and cannot be redeemed for cash. Without limiting the foregoing, Synopsys Cloud Credits in a Synopsys Cloud Credit Account: (a) may only be used via the Synopsys Cloud Portal Account from which you can access the Synopsys Cloud Credit Account; (b) may not be transferred to any other person or entity or to any other account that may have been created for you or your affiliates; and (c) may not be transferred or carried over to any subsequent agreement or renewal of the applicable Cloud Purchase Agreement, unless otherwise specifically agreed to by Synopsys in a Cloud Purchase Agreement.

10.2     Synopsys Cloud Credit Account: Synopsys will use commercially reasonable efforts to reflect the current balance of available Synopsys Cloud Credits in your Synopsys Cloud Credit Account. If you consume more Synopsys Cloud Credits than you have purchased, your Synopsys Cloud Credit Account may have a negative balance and Synopsys will invoice you for any unpaid Synopsys Cloud Credits at the rate you last purchased Synopsys Cloud Credits under the relevant Cloud Purchase Agreement and you will pay such invoice in accordance with Section 10.6 and the applicable Cloud Purchase Agreement.

10.3     Use of Synopsys Cloud Credits: Synopsys Cloud Credits will be deducted from your Synopsys Cloud Credit Account based on your selections in the Synopsys Cloud Portal of Synopsys Products, Infrastructure, or other products, services, charges or costs that may be incurred under this Agreement, and you consent to such deduction. Your consumption of Synopsys Cloud Credits will be determined in accordance with the following:

10.3.1     Cloud Subscription License: For Synopsys Products Deployed on a SaaS Basis for which you elect use on a Cloud Subscription License basis, Synopsys Cloud Credits will be deducted from your Synopsys Cloud Credit Account by applying the applicable Cloud Subscription License Rate. For each Cloud Subscription License, the full number of Synopsys Cloud Credits to be paid for such Cloud Subscription License will be deducted from your Synopsys Cloud Credit Account at or following the selection or purchase of the Cloud Subscription License by you.

10.3.2     Pay Per Use: For Synopsys Products for which you elect use on a Pay Per Use basis, Synopsys Cloud Credits will be deducted from your Synopsys Cloud Credit Account at an amount determined by multiplying the applicable Standard Rate or Overage Rate (as determined pursuant to this Section 10.3.2) by the Usage Period. For purposes of the foregoing calculation, the Standard Rate for the Synopsys Product or Synopsys Product feature will be used, except that if a Product Meter Start Event occurs when your Synopsys Cloud Credit Account has a zero or negative balance, the Overage Rate for the Synopsys Product or Synopsys Product feature will be used. The Standard Rate or Overage Rate may be specified as a rate for use of a Synopsys Product or for use of specified features of a Synopsys Product. Different features of the same Synopsys Product may have a different Standard Rate or Overage Rate that will be charge for use of such feature.

10.3.3     Infrastructure: For Infrastructure which you elect to use through the Synopsys Cloud Portal, Synopsys Cloud Credits will be deducted from your Synopsys Cloud Credit Account by applying the then-current Infrastructure rates set forth in the Synopsys Cloud Portal or otherwise communicated by Synopsys to you in writing (via email or otherwise) as follows:

(i) For Infrastructure for which you use on a Cloud Subscription License basis, Synopsys Cloud Credits will be deducted from your Synopsys Cloud Credit Account by applying the applicable Cloud Subscription License Rate; or

(ii) For Infrastructure for which you use on a Pay Per Use basis, Synopsys Cloud Credits will be deducted based on the duration of use of the Infrastructure, where  such duration of use is determined by calculating the number of hours that have elapsed, in whole or in part, from the occurrence of an Infrastructure Meter Start Event until the occurrence of an Infrastructure Meter Stop Event. You are solely responsible for initiating an Infrastructure Meter Stop Event. Your usage of the Synopsys Cloud Credit for Infrastructure will be reported to you based on the reports received from the Cloud Provider. Such reports may be delayed, and actual usage of Synopsys Cloud Credit usage may be adjusted accordingly in subsequent reports provided to you.

Infrastructure rates may change from time to time, including due to market fluctuations. Synopsys Cloud Credits will accordingly be deducted from your Synopsys Cloud Credit Account based on the applicable Infrastructure rates that are displayed in the Synopsys Cloud Portal or are otherwise communicated to you in writing, at the time you use the Infrastructure.

10.3.4     Charges for additional resources: There may be Additional Resources that are, or are required to be, deployed or used in connection with the setup, operation or execution of the Synopsys Products you have selected, and/or any data or other results related to the use of such Synopsys Products. You are responsible for paying for such Additional Resources using Synopsys Cloud Credits in accordance with the Cloud Purchase Agreement.

10.3.5     Other products or services: For any other products or services which are made available to you through the Synopsys Cloud Portal, the number of Synopsys Cloud Credits to be deducted from your Synopsys Cloud Credit Account will be as set forth in the Cloud Purchase Agreement or the Synopsys Cloud Portal for each such product or service. Unless otherwise set forth in the Synopsys Cloud Portal, for such other products or services used on a Cloud Subscription License basis, you will be charged by applying the appropriate Cloud Subscription License Rate, and for such other products and services used on a Pay Per Use basis, Synopsys Cloud Credits will be deducted from your Synopsys Cloud Credit Account on an approximately hourly basis.

10.4     Overage Limit: If at any time during the term of the relevant Cloud Purchase Agreement, your negative Synopsys Cloud Credit balance equals or exceeds the Overage Limit, you will be prohibited from initiating any new Designs or any other new project using a Synopsys Product on a Pay Per Use basis, purchasing use of any Cloud Subscription License for a Synopsys Product Deployed on a SaaS Basis or purchasing access to any additional Infrastructure, unless and until you have purchased from Synopsys, and Synopsys has received your payment for, an amount of Synopsys Cloud Credits sufficient to bring your balance of Synopsys Cloud Credits to at least zero. Synopsys may, at any time after you have reached the Overage Limit, provide you notice that you have reached the Overage Limit (which notice may be provided to you via the Synopsys Cloud Portal, by Synopsys to your personnel, or otherwise). Within 30 days of the date of such notice, you must purchase and pay for  enough Synopsys Cloud  Credits to cover  your full negative balance of Synopsys Cloud Credits and return your Synopsys Cloud Credit Account to at least a zero balance. If you fail to purchase and pay for such adequate Synopsys Cloud Credits within 30 days from the date of such notice, Synopsys may terminate the relevant Cloud Purchase Agreement or this Agreement, in which case Sections 12.3 and 12.5 will apply.

10.5     Your Responsibility: Synopsys may provide you with tools and Reports in the Synopsys Cloud Portal to help you manage your use of Synopsys Cloud Credits but it is your sole responsibility to ensure that you have enough Synopsys Cloud Credits in your Synopsys Cloud Credit Account to cover all amounts that you incur and expect to incur under this Agreement and to ensure you have enough Synopsys Cloud Credits to complete all Designs and projects you initiate using the Synopsys Products under this Agreement.

10.6     Payment Terms: Any amounts invoiced under this Agreement or the Cloud Purchase Agreement will be paid by you in accordance with the payment terms set forth in this Agreement and the applicable Cloud Purchase Agreement. If you do not pay an amount by the scheduled due date, Synopsys will have the right to withhold or suspend your access to the Synopsys Cloud Portal or affected Synopsys Product, suspend your use of any Synopsys Cloud Credits (without waiving Synopsys’ right to payment for any Synopsys Cloud Credits ordered by you), terminate the relevant Cloud Purchase Agreement or this Agreement and accelerate the due date of all remaining payments (in which case, you will owe the entire outstanding balance as soon as you receive written notice from Synopsys that your payment is due). All payments you make to Synopsys under this Agreement are non-refundable. You may not offset any amounts you believe Synopsys owes you against any payments you make to Synopsys under this Agreement. You must make payments in U.S. dollars. If you do not pay an amount by the due date, you must also pay a late payment charge of 1.5% per month or the highest rate permitted by law, whichever is less.

10.7     Taxes: Unless otherwise specified, all amounts exclude taxes. You will be solely responsible for paying all taxes (including sales, use, consumption, and value-added taxes and similar taxes), other than Synopsys’ income taxes, that are imposed on or result from your purchase, license, or use of Synopsys products and services. If Synopsys is required by law to collect and remit any such taxes, Synopsys may invoice you for such taxes and you agree to pay the invoiced amount to Synopsys. If any payments made hereunder are subject to deduction of any withholding taxes required by applicable law and/or income tax treaty then in force between the parties’ respective governments, you may withhold taxes on payments made to Synopsys under this Agreement, and remit to Synopsys only the net proceeds. You will remit any such taxes withheld to the appropriate government authority and will provide Synopsys with properly executed certificates, receipts, or other documentation as evidence of your remittance of such taxes to such government authority within a reasonable period of time, but in any event within 60 days after the payment made to Synopsys from which  withholding  tax  payment   was withheld. You will provide reasonable cooperation to Synopsys in obtaining tax exemption for withholding tax under local country procedures and/or attempt to recover any taxes withheld in excess of the amount required by law. If Synopsys is subject to a reduced rate of withholding under an applicable tax treaty, Synopsys will provide such evidence as required under local tax law to support that Synopsys is eligible for such reduced rate.

10.8     Bankruptcy: If you become the subject of any bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, or similar proceedings or make a general assignment for the benefit of your creditors, Synopsys may apply any payments you have previously made to Synopsys for products or services not yet delivered by Synopsys against any amounts you owe Synopsys at that time for products or services that have been delivered by Synopsys (under this Agreement or otherwise).

11.3     Additional Obligations: In addition to your general obligations of confidentiality regarding the Synopsys Products and Documentation, you must monitor each End User’s use of the Synopsys Products to ensure that such use is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
