2.1. Project Access. For each System Project You are accessing through the Oracle Aconex Cloud
Services, the following terms apply in relation to Your use of the Oracle Aconex Cloud Services for
that System Project only:
(a) Non-Paying Organization: If You are invited to a System Project as a Non-Paying Organization,
by accessing the Oracle Aconex Cloud Services You agree to be bound by Your Agreement being
the country-specific version (based on Your physical location or if one is not available for Your
physical location, then the United States’ version) of the Oracle Cloud Services Agreement
available at http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/contracts/cloud-services/index.html that is
current at the time of Your first access to that System Project (Your Agreement may also be
referred to herein as “Project Agreement”). Your Project Agreement incorporates the then current
version of these Terms of Use, which are available on
http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/contracts/cloud-services/index.html. For the avoidance
of doubt, Your access and use of the Oracle Aconex Cloud Services related to each System Project,
in Your capacity as a Non-Paying Organization, is governed by a standalone Project Agreement.
(b) Paying Organization: If You are accessing the Oracle Aconex Cloud Services as a Paying
Organization, the terms of Your order and Your Agreement referenced in the aforementioned
order will apply to Your use of the Oracle Aconex Cloud Services in Your capacity as Paying
Organization for the System Project(s) under such order only. Unless otherwise stated in Your
order, Your Agreement also incorporates the version of these Terms of Use current as of the date
of Your order.
2.2. Additional Services. If You execute an order with Oracle for ancillary Oracle Aconex Cloud Services
related to a System Project (such as an online archive or a project archive) as a Paying Organization
(“Additional Services”), the terms of Your order and applicable Agreement referenced in the
aforementioned order will apply to Your use of such Additional Services only. Unless otherwise stated
in Your order, Your Agreement also incorporates the version of these Terms of Use current as of the
date of Your Additional Service’s order.

aforementioned access capabilities or usage will be governed by the latest version of the Project
Agreement (incorporating the latest version of these Terms of Use, which may be updated at Oracle’s
discretion). For the avoidance of doubt, as soon as You cease to be a Non-Active NPO, the Project
Agreement under this Section will be terminated. Without prejudice to any of Oracle other rights under
the Project Agreement or otherwise, Oracle reserves the right to terminate the Non-Active NPO’s
Project Agreement and/or such party’s access to the Oracle Aconex Cloud Services at any time and
without notice.
3. USE OF SERVICES

with the terms and conditions of the Paying Organization’s Agreement and the applicable order
(together the “Paying Organization Terms”) and the Non-Paying Organization’s compliance with the
terms of the Project Agreement and the scope and restrictions contained in the Paying Organization’s
order, Oracle will make the Oracle Aconex Cloud Services listed in the Paying Organization’s order
available to the Paying Organization and all Non-Paying Organizations (if applicable) pursuant to Your

restrictions specified in the Paying Organization’s order and applicable Service Specifications. You
may allow Your Users to use the Oracle Aconex Cloud Services for this purpose, and You are
responsible for their compliance with Your Agreement and the Paying Organization’s order (or if You
are a Non-Paying Organization, the scope and restrictions mentioned in the aforementioned order).
The Paying Organization agrees to inform all Non-Paying Organizations of the scope and restrictions
specified in (i) the Paying Organization’s order; and (ii) the Service Specification applicable to the
Oracle Aconex Cloud Services. The Paying Organization further agrees to inform all Non-Paying
Organizations of their rights and obligations under the applicable Paying Organization’s Data
Processing Agreement.
3.2. You acknowledge that by uploading, transmitting and receiving data or other content to and from the
Oracle Aconex Cloud Services, You are making data and other content available for the use by You
and other Participants (as defined below) and the retraction or deletion of such data and other content
may adversely affect those Participants. Any request by You to delete or modify Your Content should
be provided via or by the Paying Organization to Oracle. The Paying Organization agrees to obtain
prior consent from all applicable Non-Paying Organizations prior to providing Oracle with such
request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Oracle is not responsible for the result of any conflicting
requests or obtaining or verifying any consents.

basis by Participants without any warranty of any kind from Oracle, (ii) Oracle is not responsible for,
and shall have no obligation to control, monitor, or correct, such data or other content, and (iii) such
data or content may impact Your use of the Oracle Aconex Cloud Services. To the extent not

or for any impact the availability, deletion or retraction of such data or content has on Your Content
or Your use of the Services, including but not limited to where such deletion or retraction is
undertaken by Oracle pursuant to a Participant’s instructions. Notwithstanding Section 3.2 above, You
agree to indemnify Oracle against any claim by a Participant related to Oracle deleting or retracting
Your Content based on Your instructions and it is Your responsibility to obtain the other Participants’
prior consent.
3.4. You acknowledge that upon the Paying Organization’s written request to Oracle to remove a Non-
Paying Organization from a System Project, Oracle will provide the Non-Paying Organization with at
least 14 days’ notice prior to terminating such access.

password) used to access the Oracle Aconex Cloud Services, and agree that You will not share access
credentials among users or disclose those credentials to any third party.
3.6. Notwithstanding the definition of a Non-Paying Organization above, if a ‘Project Owning
Organization’ (as this term is defined below) for any System Project is not the Paying Organization,
the following terms apply:
(a) The Paying Organization is responsible for the Project Owning Organization and its’ users actions
and their compliance with the terms of (i) the Paying Organization Terms (except in relation to the
payment of fees), and (ii) the applicable Project Agreement between the Project Owning

Organization and Oracle. For the avoidance of doubt, the Project Owning Organization may not
enforce any right against Oracle or an Oracle affiliate under the Paying Organization Terms.
Nothing in this section shall preclude (i) the Project Owning Organization from enforcing any of
its’ rights under the applicable Project Agreement against Oracle; or (ii) Oracle or Oracle affiliates
enforcing any right under the Paying Organization Terms (against the Paying Organization) or
under the Project Agreement against the Paying Organization and/or the Project Owning
Organization.
(b) Should Oracle receive any instructions directly from the Project Owning Organization or any of its
users, such instructions will be considered made by the Paying Organization. Oracle has no
obligation to ensure the compatibility or accuracy of instructions received from the Paying
Organization or Project Owning Organization, and Oracle is not responsible for the effect of any
conflicting instructions. Any Confidential Information disclosed by Oracle to the Project Owning
Organization shall not be a breach of the confidentiality provisions in the Paying Organization
Terms.
For the purposes of this Section, a ‘Project Owning Organization’ means any Non-Paying Organization
that has accepted Oracle’s terms related to Non-Paying Organizations and is appointed to administer
a System Project on the Oracle Aconex Cloud Services.
4. CHANGE IN SCOPE
4.1. Without prejudice to any other rights Oracle may have under Your Agreement, if the Paying
Organization or any Non-Paying Organization is, in Oracle’s reasonable opinion, using the Oracle
Aconex Cloud Services outside of the scope identified in an order or Services Specification, or if the
scope of a Project increases, Oracle may require the Paying Organization to execute an order with
Oracle reflecting such changed use and charge the Paying Organization additional fees, which
additional fees shall be proportional to the additional scope of use, as determined in Oracle’s sole
reasonable judgment. If the Paying Organization objects to such increased fees or does not execute
an order with Oracle reflecting such usage, then Oracle may at its discretion (a) require the Paying
Organization and applicable Non-Paying Organizations to discontinue any excess or prohibited use
of the Oracle Aconex Cloud Services, and/or (b) terminate the applicable Oracle Aconex Cloud
Services specified under the order on not less than 30 days’ written notice to the Paying Organization.
If Oracle terminates any orders or part thereof as specified in the preceding sentence, the Paying
Organization must pay within 30 days all amounts (plus related taxes and expenses) that are due up
to the end of the original Services Period.
4.2. A Non-Paying Organization has no obligation to pay any fees in connection with the Oracle Aconex
Cloud Services for as long as it remains a Non-Paying Organization. Where You wish to acquire
Additional Services related to a System Project, then You will be required to enter into a separate
agreement with Oracle for the relevant services subject to the payment of additional fees and You will
be considered a Paying Organization in relation to these Additional Services only.
4.3. Where You acquire Additional Services, such Additional Services will be for Your own use and other
Participants will not have any rights to use or access such Additional Services, unless otherwise stated
in the applicable order or Service Specifications.
5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY (APPLICABLE TO NON-PAYING ORGANIZATION ONLY AND REPLACING
THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY PROVISIONS IN THE AGREEMENT)
