1. Use of Workday Studio.
1.1 License Terms. Licensee is responsible for all Authorized Studio Users’ use of Workday Studio and ensuring compliance with this License. Licensee is responsible for ensuring that all copies of Workday Studio are deleted by its Authorized Studio Users at the end of the Term or earlier if an Authorized Studio User no longer needs Workday Studio to support Licensee. Licensee understands that subsequent versions of Workday Studio may be subject to different terms and conditions and Workday may require that Studio Integrations be created using the most current version of Workday Studio. Unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of this License, the license granted to Licensee herein will continue until the end of the Term. Licensee understands and agrees that Workday Studio is provided only under this License and not governed by the terms of any other agreement between Licensee and Workday. Licensee understands and agrees that neither Workday Studio nor any Studio Integration is part of the Workday Service.
(a) Use by Customers and their Authorized Parties. Workday Customer Authorized Parties (whether employed by the Customer or acting on behalf of a Customer in the course of performing consulting or other professional services to the Customer) may use Workday Studio on a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable basis solely for the benefit of the specific Customer that has engaged them and solely for purposes of creating and supporting custom reports or integrations between the Workday Service and either a Workday Customer’s software and systems or a third-party’s software and systems for that particular Customer’s internal use.
(b) Use by Workday Partner Program Participants. If Licensee is an official participant in a Workday Services Alliance Partner Program, Licensee may use Workday Studio to train its own personnel and not for any other purpose. If Licensee is an official participant in a Workday Software Partner Program, Licensee may use Workday Studio to develop a Studio Integration only if specifically authorized by Workday in writing. No other use of Workday Studio is permitted under the Software Partner program terms.
1.2 Prohibited Activities. Licensee shall not: (i) license, sublicense, sell, resell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute, time share, offer in a service bureau, or otherwise make Workday Studio available to any third party other than as specifically authorized in this License; (ii) use Workday Studio in violation of applicable Law; (iii) modify, copy, or create any derivative works based on Workday Studio or any of its components other than the creation of Studio Integrations in accordance with this License; (iv) reverse engineer or decompile any portion of Workday Studio, except to the extent required by applicable Law; (v) use Workday Studio in connection with creating or supporting any commercially available product or service; (vi) remove any copyright or other proprietary notices in Workday Studio; or (vii) use Workday Studio in any manner that exceeds the scope of use permitted in Section 1.1.

1.4 Deployment and Support of Studio Integrations. Licensee may deploy Studio Integrations only if such integrations function properly and are secure. Licensee will not deploy any integration that may introduce data into the Workday Service that is subject to Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI data) or HIPAA (PHI data). Licensee will be solely responsible for the functioning of all Studio Integrations, the data flow, and any security issues caused by or related to Studio Integrations, as well as any maintenance required to ensure continued compatibility with the systems connected by the Studio Integrations. Licensee is solely responsible for correcting errors that cause an integration’s failure to run as designed and as scheduled. Licensee understands that Workday provides support only for the Workday Service pursuant to Workday’s then-current SLA. Before deployment, Licensee will ensure that Studio Integrations (i) have been scanned using industry-standard detection methods for Malicious Code; (ii) are adequately tested before Production use; (iii) will not interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Workday Service or any data contained therein; and (iv) will not disrupt Workday systems.
1.5 Fees and Taxes. Workday Studio is provided under this License at no fee but Workday reserves the right to charge for use in the future. Licensee is responsible for paying any taxes associated with the rights acquired hereunder, excluding taxes based on Workday's net income or property. If Workday has an obligation to pay or collect taxes for which Licensee is responsible under this section, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by Licensee, unless Licensee provides Workday with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.
1.6 Federal Government End Use Provisions.
