Injunctive Relief
Licensee agrees that money damages will not be an adequate remedy if Licensee breaches Sections 2, 3 and 4 of this Agreement. Therefore, Energy advice will be entitled to an injunction or similar equitable relief. This Section 5 in no way limits Energy advice’s ability to pursue any other legal or equitable remedies.
Licensing Fee
In consideration for the License granted hereunder, Licensee shall pay to Energy advice or an authorized distributor, as applicable, the fee indicated in the applicable invoice or purchase order (the “Licensing Fee”), pursuant to the terms of said invoice or purchase order.
Maintenance and Support

Licensee and its Authorized Licensee Users may also continue using the Software pursuant to this Agreement without purchasing an Extended Support Term; however, Licensee will not receive support or upgrades to the Software without purchasing an Extended Support Term. Energy advice’s fees for Maintenance & Support during an Extended Support Term are available upon request.
- No Extended Support. Energy advice does not require Licensee to purchase consecutive Extended Support Terms. However, in the event of end of License, Licensee will be required to pay the full license price for the Software to receive renewed access to Energy advice ’s Maintenance & Support.
- Discontinuing Maintenance & Support. Energy advice reserves the right to discontinue Maintenance & Support services for older versions of the Software at any time, even if Licensee has an active Maintenance & Support contract.

Exhibit A. Acceptable and Unacceptable Uses
Your use of the EA-PSM Software and Models (as defined in the EA-PSM End User Agreement) is limited. This document presents acceptable and unacceptable uses of the EA-PSM Software. If you are not sure whether your use or desired exploitation of the Models is allowed by Energy advice, you should assume the use or exploitation is unacceptable. In such circumstances, please contact Energy advice directly.
Acceptable Uses
- An Authorized Licensee User runs and uses the Model through the EA-PSM Software (i.e., on a computer where the EA-PSM Software is installed) manually, not via any kind of remote interface. This is an acceptable use regardless of whether the Model was developed using the same installation of the EA-PSM Software or not, by the same Authorized Licensee User or not, or by the same Licensee or not.
