Version 8.0 - 2018-05-22
By subscribing to the Odoo Enterprise services (the "Services") provided by Odoo SA and its affiliates (collectively, "Odoo SA") in relation with Odoo Enterprise Edition or Odoo Community Edition (the "Software"), hosted on Odoo SA's Cloud platforms (the "Cloud Platform") or on-premises ("Self-Hosting"), you (the "Customer") are agreeing to be bound by the following terms and conditions (the "Agreement").
1 Term of the Agreement
The duration of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall be specified in writing on conclusion of this Agreement, beginning on the date of conclusion. It is automatically renewed for an equal Term, unless either party provides a written notice of termination minimum 30 days before the end of the Term to the other party.
2 Definitions
- User
- Any active user account with access to the Software in creation and/or edition mode. Deactivated user accounts and accounts used by external people (or systems) who only have limited access to the Software through the portal facilities (known as "portal Users") are not counted as Users.
- App
- An "App" is a specialized group of features available for installation in the Software, and listed in the public Pricing section of Odoo SA's website.
- Bug
- Is considered a Bug any failure of the Software that results in a complete stop, error traceback or security breach, and is not directly caused by a defective installation or configuration. Non-compliance with specifications or requirements will be considered as Bugs at the discretion of Odoo SA (typically, when the Software does not produce the results or performance it was designed to produce, or when a country-specific feature does not meet legal accounting requirements anymore).
- Covered Versions
Unless specified otherwise, the Services provided under this Agreement are applicable only to the Covered Versions of the Software, which include the 3 (three) most recently released major versions.
To be covered by the current Agreement, the Customer has to run the most recent Covered Version at the time of conclusion of this Agreement. When this is not the case, additional costs are applicable, as described in 5 Charges and Fees.
3 Access to the Software
The Customer can use the Software hosted on the Cloud Platform, or choose the Self-Hosting option. The Cloud Platform is hosted and fully managed by Odoo SA, and accessed remotely by the Customer. With the Self-Hosting option, the Customer instead hosts the Software on computer systems of their choice, that are not under the control of Odoo SA.
For the duration of this Agreement, Odoo SA gives the Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use (execute, modify, execute after modification) the Odoo Enterprise Edition software, under the terms set forth in 9 Appendix A: Odoo Enterprise Edition License.
The Customer agrees to take all necessary measures to guarantee the unmodified execution of the part of the Software that verifies the validity of the Odoo Enterprise Edition usage and collects statistics for that purpose, including but not limited to the running of an instance, the number of Users and installed Apps.
Odoo SA commits not to disclose individual or named figures to third parties without the consent of the Customer, and to deal with all collected data in compliance with its official Privacy Policy, published at https://www.odoo.com/privacy.
Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, this license is revoked immediately and the Customer agrees to stop using the Odoo Enterprise Edition software and the Cloud Platform.
Should the Customer breach the terms of this section, the Customer agrees to pay Odoo SA an extra fee equal to 300% of the applicable list price for the actual number of Users and installed Apps.
4 Services
4.1 Bug Fixing Service
For the duration of this Agreement, Odoo SA commits to making all reasonable efforts to remedy any Bug of the Software submitted by the Customer through the appropriate channel (typically, Odoo SA's service desk email address or website form), and to start handling such Customer submissions within 2 business days.
The Customer understands that Bugs caused by a modification or extension that is not part of the official Software will not be covered by this service.
As soon as the Bug is fixed an appropriate remedy will be communicated to the Customer.
For Self-Hosting, if the bug has been addressed in a more recent revision of the Covered Version of the Software used by the Customer, the Customer agrees to update its systems to that revision in order to obtain the correction. The Customer will not be asked to upgrade to a more recent Covered Version of the Software as a remedy to a Bug.
When a Bug is fixed in any Covered Version, Odoo SA commits to fixing the Bug in all more recent Covered Versions of the Software.
Both parties acknowledge that as specified in the license of the Software and in the 7.3 Limitation of Liability section of this Agreement, Odoo SA cannot be held liable for Bugs in the Software.
4.2 Security Updates Service
Self-Hosting
For the duration of this Agreement, Odoo SA commits to sending a "Security Advisory" to the Customer for any security Bug that is discovered in the Covered Versions of the Software, at least 2 weeks before making the Security Advisory public, unless the Bug has already been disclosed publicly by a third party. Security Advisories include a complete description of the Bug, its cause, its possible impacts on the Customer's systems, and the corresponding remedy for each Covered Version.
The Customer understands that the Bug and the information in the Security Advisory must be treated as Confidential Information as described in 6.4 Confidentiality during the embargo period prior to the public disclosure.
Cloud Platform
Odoo SA commits to apply the security remedies for any security Bug discovered in a version of the Software hosted on the Cloud Platform, on all systems under its control, as soon as the remedy is available, without requiring any manual action of the Customer.
4.3 Upgrade Services
Upgrade Service for the Software
For the duration of this Agreement, the Customer can submit upgrade requests through the appropriate channel (typically Odoo SA's upgrade service website), in order to convert a database of the Software from one Covered Version of the Software to a more recent Covered Version (the "Target Version").
For the Cloud Platform, upgrade requests are submitted directly from the control panel of the Cloud Platform, and do not require any data upload. For Self-Hosting, upgrade requests must include a complete backup copy of the Customer's database and the associated data (typically obtained from the Backup menu of the Software). Where necessary for data security or regulation reasons, the Upgrade Service includes an optional tool to anonymize identifiable data inside a database before submitting the upgrade request, and a tool to restore the anonymized data after the upgrade.
This service provided through an automated platform in order to allow the Customer to perform unattended upgrades once a previous version of the Customer's database has been successfully upgraded for a Covered Version. The Customer may submit successive upgrade requests for a database, and agrees to submit at least 1 upgrade request for testing purposes before submitting the final upgrade request.
The Upgrade Service is limited to the technical conversion and adaptation of the Customer's database to make it compatible with the Target Version, and the correction of any Bug directly caused by the upgrade operation and not normally occurring in the Target Version.
It is the sole responsibility of the Customer to verify and validate the upgraded database in order to detect Bugs, to analyze the impact of changes and new features implemented in the Target Version, and to convert and adapt for the Target Version any third-party extensions of the Software that were installed in the database before the upgrade (except where applicable as foreseen in section Upgrade Service for third-party extensions). The Customer may submit multiple upgrade requests for a database, until an acceptable result is achieved.
Upgrade Service for third-party extensions
For the duration of this Agreement, the Customer may request optional upgrade services for third-party extension modules of the Software, in addition to the regular Upgrade Services. This optional service is subject to additional fees (as described in 5 Charges and Fees) and includes the technical adaptation of third-party modules installed in the Customer's database and their corresponding data in order to be compatible with the Target Version. The Customer will receive an upgraded version of all installed third-party modules along with the upgraded database.
4.4 Cloud Hosting Services
For the duration of this Agreement, when the Customer chooses to use the Cloud Platform, Odoo SA commits to providing at least the following services:
- Choice of multiple hosting regions (minimum 3: Europe, America, Asia/Pacific)
- Hosting in Tier-III data centers or equivalent, with 99.9% network uptime
- Grade A SSL (HTTPS) Encryption of communication
- Fully automated, verified backups, replicated in multiple regions
- Disaster Recovery Plan, tested regularly
The details of the Cloud Hosting Services are described on the Service Level Agreement page at https://www.odoo.com/cloud-sla.
4.5 Support Services
Scope
For the duration of this Agreement, the Customer may open an unlimited number of support tickets free of charge, exclusively for questions regarding Bugs (see 4.1 Bug Fixing Service) or guidance with respect to the use of the standard features of the Software and Services (functionalities, intended use, configuration, troubleshooting).
Other assistance requests, such as questions related to development, customizations, installation for Self-Hosting, or services requiring to access the Customer's database, may be covered through the purchase of a separate Service Pack. In case it’s not clear if a request is covered by this Agreement or a Service Pack, the decision is at the discretion of Odoo SA.

5 Charges and Fees
5.1 Standard charges

When during the Term, the Customer has more Users or more installed Apps than specified at the time of conclusion of this Agreement, the Customer agrees to pay an extra fee equivalent to the applicable list price (at the beginning of the Term) for the additional Users or Apps, for the remainder of the Term.
If at the time of the conclusion of this Agreement, the Customer uses a Covered Version that is not the most recent one, the standard charges may be increased by 50% for the duration of the first Term, at the sole discretion of Odoo SA, to cover the extra maintenance costs.
5.2 Renewal charges
Upon renewal as covered in section 1 Term of the Agreement, if the charges applied during the previous Term are lower than the most current applicable list price, these charges will increase by up to 7%.
5.3 Charges for Upgrade Services of third-party modules

Lines of Code include all text lines in the source code of those modules, regardless of the programming language (Python, Javascript, etc.) or data format (XML, CSV, etc.), excluding blank lines and comment lines.
Odoo SA reserves the right to reject an upgrade request for third-party modules under the above conditions if the quality of the source code of those modules is too low, or if these modules constitute an interface with third-party software or systems.
