Permissible customization shall not void any software product warranties nor prevent any overlay of future software releases.

Proposer must promptly notify [COMPANY] if it introduces newer or later versions of the software or any of its components. A copy of the software's source code, compiled form, and documentation shall at the Proposer's expense be maintained in escrow by a data security company mutually agreed upon by [COMPANY] and the Proposer. If the software's licensor is dissolved, liquidated, or ceases doing business as an entity, or is placed in receivership, the software shall be released to [COMPANY] under circumstances acceptable to [COMPANY], which shall have a nonexclusive, fully paid-up, irrevocable, perpetual worldwide right and license to use the software source code to the extent necessary to support and maintain the deliverables and performance of the system(s). [COMPANY] shall be entitled to make copies of the software, including any third-party software and any user manuals for backup and archival purposes. Third-Party Software [COMPANY] desires that the Proposer shall own all software, except for commercial generic third-party packages used to support the Proposer's system (e.g., relational database management system, report generator). Proposer must secure for [COMPANY] sublicenses or direct licenses for all third-party software necessary for the system to function as proposed. Indicate third-party provider of software specifically designed to support the Proposer's software. Indicate the warranty, licensing, and support provisions for any such packages.
