To subscribe to the Services, CUSTOMER must accept a Purchase Sheet or other such ordering documentation. The Terms of this Agreement are applicable to, and form an integral part of such Purchase Sheet, which will identify the License and Services to be provided, the Subscription Term, and applicable fees for the Subscription Term.

Executing the Purchase Sheet and/or submitting payment thereunder constitutes acceptance and agreement by CUSTOMER to subscribe to the Services in accordance with the Terms of this Agreement. INNONATION expressly rejects any additional or different terms, including but not limited to terms added or appended to this Agreement or the Purchase Sheet by CUSTOMER, unless agreed to in writing by both Parties. The individual executing this Agreement and/or the relevant Purchase Sheet on behalf of CUSTOMER represents and warrants that they do so with the authority to bind CUSTOMER by executing and submitting such documents.

Except as expressly provided herein or in any applicable Purchase Sheet, Users may use the Services, including any Licensed Materials contained therein, solely in the regular and ordinary course of CUSTOMER's business and for internal use only. CUSTOMER further agrees that its purchases hereunder are neither contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features nor dependent on any oral or written public comments made by INNONATION regarding future functionality or features.

Unless otherwise specified in an Purchase Sheet, the number of authorized Users that shall have access to the Services pursuant to a License is limited to individuals that are part of the same business department or functional group within a CUSTOMER's organization (the "Business Group"). The applicable Purchase Sheet will describe the License(s) and specifically identify and list the particular Business Group and total number of authorized Users ("User Limit"). For each License, only Users who are a member of the designated Business Group may access the Services. CUSTOMER may switch Users under a License, provided that (i) the number of Users does not exceed the User Limit, and (ii) new Users are members of the same Business Group designated as such in the applicable Purchase Sheet.
