Common use of PEP Clause in Contracts

PEP. If Customer has not previously opted out of participating in Sage’s Product Enhancement Program (“PEP”) Customer may automatically be enrolled in PEP when it installs the Program. Customer may disable PEP during its use of the Software. Through PEP, Sage may collect information on Customer’s hardware and when Customer installs the Software, and how Customer uses the Software and its in-product help and services. This information helps Sage identify trends and usage patterns to improve the quality of the products and services Sage offers. Additionally, Sage may collect information through PEP to enforce its rights under this Agreement (e.g., number of users for licensing, serial numbers, and registration numbers), and if a user updates user information via a request prompted by the Software, information provided will be stored in PEP and used to update Sage’s customer records.
