1. Overview
These Standard Licensing Terms apply to all agreements where Automate101 Limited ("Automate101") licenses its installed software, Atria. By signing an agreement referencing these terms, the Licensee agrees to comply with them.
2. Software License
- Automate101 grants the Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use Atria software and associated documentation.

The Licensee is responsible for:
- Ensuring system requirements are met.
- Maintaining infrastructure security and access controls.

Automate101 is not responsible for managing, securing, or operating the Licensee’s infrastructure.

- Support does not include on-premises troubleshooting unless explicitly agreed.
5. Analytical Data & License Reporting
- Each Atria instance generates anonymized analytical data for licensing compliance and service improvement.
- Automated License Reporting is mandatory and must not be disabled or interfered with.
- If automated reporting fails, the Licensee must resolve the issue within 60 days.

- Automate101 may increase pricing once per year, with at least 60 days’ notice.
- A minimum monthly license fee, as specified in the main agreement, applies. If the total licensing charges for a given month are less than this amount, the Licensee will be billed the minimum fee.
- If payment is undisputed and overdue by 60 days, Automate101 reserves the right to deactivate the software.
- If any government imposes import duties, tariffs, taxes, or similar charges on the Software or Support Services provided under this Agreement, those charges are the responsibility of the Licensee. Automate101 may on-charge these fees by giving 30 days’ written notice.
