Software Licence Agreement (Legacy CSP)

Terms & Conditions

This Agreement sets out the terms and conditions under which Strategy 365 Limited shall provide licences as an Indirect Reseller via the Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) programme, to the named Customer, in conjunction with Microsoft and its licensing distributors.

This Agreement is made between:
(1) Strategy 365 Limited, a company registered in England & Wales under company number 10480400 whose registered office is at The Old Chapel, Blakeley Lane, Dilhorne, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, ST10 2PS (“Strategy 365”); and

(2) [Customer Name], a company registered in England & Wales under company number [number] whose registered office is at [full registered office address] (“the Customer”).

By agreement between the parties to this Agreement (“the Parties”):

1. This Agreement shall be entered into by the Parties starting on the above commencement date.

2. The products licensed under this agreement are for Microsoft cloud software subscriptions.

3. The minimum term of this Agreement shall be 30 days following the first billing date.

4. Following the initial minimum term, unless terminated by either party in accordance with clause 14 below, this Agreement shall become a 30-day rolling agreement.

5. Microsoft cloud licences are supplied and provisioned by a Microsoft authorised licensing distributor (details of which can be provided on request).

6. The Customer authorises Strategy 365 to:

  1. be given Indirect Reseller access to its Microsoft 365 tenant (which includes Granular Delegated Administration (GDAP)) and will provide this access prior to or immediately after 
  2. submit a claim to Microsoft in relation to this Agreement and to fully support the claims process including acceptance of any related claim.

7. The Customer authorises the Microsoft authorised licensing distributor to be given Indirect Cloud Solution Provider access to its Office 365 tenant (which includes Granular Delegated Administration (GDAP)) and will provide this access prior to or immediately after commencement of this Agreement by following the instructions provided by Strategy 365.

8. The Customer acknowledges that complex software is never wholly free from defects, errors and bugs and/or security vulnerabilities. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, Strategy 365 gives no warranty or representation that the Software will be wholly free from any such things or will be entirely secure.

9. Prices quoted will be fixed for a period of 12 months, after which time Microsoft’s standard pricing at that time will prevail.

10. Licences and offers may only be available for a fixed period of 12 months, after which time they may be withdrawn by Microsoft. If a licence or offer is not available at renewal, Strategy 365 will advise on the most appropriate licence or offer available at that time.

11. Payment terms for licence invoices are strictly 30-days net. Where payments for licence invoices are taken monthly by Direct Debit, payments will be collected on or around 14 days after the date of invoice.

12. Invoices for licences are raised monthly by Strategy 365 and cover the full month subscription period starting from the date of invoice. All active licences in the Customer’s Office 365 tenant on the date of invoice will be included in the invoice.

13. Strategy 365 Limited reserves the right to suspend any or all licences if:

  1. any outstanding customer invoices become overdue.
  2. a Direct Debit mandate is cancelled without alternative payment being arranged by the Customer and agreed by Strategy 365 Limited.
  3. this agreement is terminated by either party subject to clause 14.

This could result in the Customer and its users being unable to access the relevant software.

14. Either party may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the other if:

  1. either party wishes to terminate (a minimum of 30 days’ notice is required).
  2. the other commits a continuing or material breach of this Agreement.
  3. an administrator takes possession or a receiver is appointed over any of the property or assets of the other party, the other party makes any voluntary arrangement with its creditors or becomes subject to an administration order, the other party goes bankrupt or goes into liquidation (except for the purposes of amalgamation, reconstruction, or other reorganisation and so that the company resulting from the reorganisation effectively agrees to be bound by or to assume the obligations imposed on the other party under this Agreement).
  4. the other party ceases, or threatens to cease, to carry on business.

15. Within 30 days following the termination of this Agreement for any reason, the Customer must pay to the Strategy 365 any charges in respect of licences in effect before the termination of this Agreement and any other services provided and invoiced to the Customer before the termination of this Agreement.
