Toad for Oracle Freeware has been UPDATED!!

Toad for Oracle freeware is now more powerful than ever! With the release of Toad for Oracle 10.5, Toad freeware enters the next generation with a new face – providing support for the newest Oracle versions as well as insight and access to some of the latest Toad commercial edition features.

PLUS, you get to use the new Toad Freeware for 90 days rather than 60, giving you a longer period of time to evaluate which Toad product is right for you.

Compare the differences between the Freeware and the Commercial product

Have direct access to the 30-day Commercial Trial download, which includes free access to querying and reporting, and data modeling tools that support multiple database platforms.

“Last updated in July 2005 as version 8.5.0, the old Toad Freeware was due for an overhaul. We hope that you’ll find it even more valuable in improving your productivity,” John Pocknell, product manager, Toad for Oracle solutions.

Moving forward, the Toad Freeware will be updated for every major Toad for Oracle release. You also get access to Toad’s worldwide community, packed with useful educational, expert and collaboration resources. You’ll also have access to loads of video clips that show how all of the features work, plus blogs, forums and much, much more.
The Toad for Oracle Freeware version may be used for a maximum of five (5) Seats within Customer's organization and expires each ninety (90) days after the date of its initial download ("Freeware Term"). Upon expiration of the Freeware Term, the same 5 Seats may be downloaded again by the same users for the Freeware Term. For more than five (5) users within an organization, Customer will need to purchase licenses of Commercial Toad for Oracle. This license does not entitle Customer to receive hard-copy documentation, technical support, telephone assistance, or enhancements or updates to the Freeware from Quest. The terms "Seat" and "Freeware" shall have the same meaning as those set forth in the Product Guide located at www.quest.com/productguide.

            (a)	Quest shall make available to Customer new versions and releases of the Software, including Software corrections, enhancements and upgrades, if and when Quest makes them generally available without charge as part of Maintenance Services.
            (b)	Quest shall respond to unlimited communications from Customer that report Software failures not previously reported to Quest by Customer. Nothing in the foregoing shall operate to limit or restrict follow up communication by Customer regarding Software failures.
            (c)	Quest shall respond to requests from Customer’s technical coordinators for assistance with the operational/technical aspects of the Software; provided that Quest shall have the right to limit such responses if Quest determines, in its sole reasonable discretion, that on-site consulting services  would be more appropriate to address the scope and nature of the requests.  Any such onsite consultation would be pursuant to a services agreement as agreed upon by the parties.
            (d)	Customer shall have access to Quest’s Support Web site at http://support.quest.com (“SupportLink”).
            (e)	Maintenance Services are available during standard support hours (“Business Hours”) as indicated on SupportLink.  In addition, Customer may purchase Business Critical Support (i.e. 24x7 Severity Level 1 support) for certain Software.

            (f)	During Business Hours, Quest will respond within one (1) hour to a call from Customer which reports a critical Software condition (a “Severity Level 1 Problem”). Customer must use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Quest with the necessary remote access to facilitate the identification and resolution of a Severity Level 1 Problem.  Quest’s ability to identify and resolve a Severity Level 1 Problem may be delayed without such remote access.
            (g)	The Maintenance Services for those Software products that Quest has obtained through an acquisition or merger may, for a period of time following the effective date of the acquisition or merger, be governed by terms other than those in this Section 10.  The applicable different terms, if any, shall be stated on SupportLink.
            11.  	Warranties.
            (a)	Software Warranty. Quest warrants that, for a period of thirty (30) days following the initial delivery of Software pursuant to an Order (the “Warranty Period”), (i) the media provided by Quest, if any, on which the Software is recorded will be free from material defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, (ii) the operation of the Software, as provided by Quest, will substantially conform to the Documentation applicable to such Software, and (iii) the Software as delivered by Quest does not contain any viruses, worms, Trojan Horses, or other malicious or destructive code designed by Quest to allow unauthorized intrusion upon, disabling of, or erasure of the Software (however, the Software may contain a key limiting use of the Software to within the scope of License granted, and license keys issued by Quest for temporary use are time-sensitive) (the “Warranties”). Customer must give written notice to Quest of any breach of the Warranties no later than five days following the expiration of the Warranty Period.
            Customer’s exclusive remedies, and Quest’s sole obligations, for any such breach of these Warranties shall be as follows: (a) for the warranty in subsection (i), Quest shall, at its expense, replace any defective media; (b) for the warranty in subsection (ii), Quest shall correct or provide a workaround for reproducible errors in the Software that cause a breach of the warranty within a reasonable time considering the severity of the error and its effect on Customer, or, at Quest’s option, refund the license fees paid for the nonconforming Software upon return of such Software to Quest and termination of the related License(s) hereunder; and (c) for the warranty in subsection (iii), Quest shall provide a copy of the Software that is in conformance with such warranty.
            The foregoing Warranties shall not apply to any non-conformance (i) that Quest cannot recreate after exercising commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to do so; (ii) caused by misuse of the Software or by using the Software in a manner that is inconsistent with this Agreement or the Documentation; or (iii) arising from the modification of the Software by anyone other than Quest.
            (b)	Hardware Warranty. Hardware shall be warranted in accordance with the warranty document delivered with the Hardware and/or included on the hardware manufacturers’ website. In the event Customer acquires Hardware that is delivered with a third party warranty (“Third Party Warranty”), Customer will rely solely on the applicable third party for all Third Party Warranty obligations.
            (c)	Warranty Disclaimer. THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION ARE THE ONLY WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES PROVIDED BY QUEST HEREUNDER. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR REMEDIES ARE EXCLUDED, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM USAGE OF TRADE OR COURSE OF DEALING OR PERFORMANCE. QUEST DOES NOT WARRANT UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION OF THE PRODUCTS.
            12.  Infringement.  Quest will at its own expense defend or settle any claim, suit, action, or proceeding brought against Customer by a third party to the extent it is based on an allegation that the Software directly infringes any patent, copyright, trademark, or other proprietary right enforceable in the country in which the Software is delivered to Customer, or misappropriates a trade secret in such country (a “Claim”).  Additionally, Quest shall pay any judgments finally awarded against Customer under a Claim or any amounts assessed against Customer in any settlements of a Claim, and reasonable administrative costs or expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, necessarily incurred by Customer in responding to the Claim. Quest’s obligations under this Section are conditioned upon Customer (i) giving prompt written notice of the Claim to Quest; (ii) permitting Quest to retain sole control of the investigation, defense or settlement of the Claim, and (iii) providing Quest with such cooperation and assistance as Quest may reasonably request from time to time in connection with the investigation, defense or settlement of the Claim. Quest shall have no obligation hereunder to defend Customer against any Claim (a) resulting from use of the Software other than as authorized in this Agreement, (b) resulting from a modification of the Software other than by Quest, or (c) based on Customer’s use of the Software after Quest recommends discontinuation because of possible or actual infringement, (d) based on Customer’s use of a superseded or altered release of Software if the infringement would have been avoided by use of a current or unaltered release of the Software made available to Customer, or (e) to the extent the Claim arises from or is based on the use of the Software with other products, services, or data not supplied by Quest if the infringement would not have occurred but for such use. If Customer’s use of the Software is enjoined as a result of a Claim, Quest shall, at its expense and option either (i) obtain for Customer the right to continue using the Software, (ii) replace the Software with a functionally equivalent non-infringing product, (iii) modify the Software so that it is non-infringing, or (iv) accept the return of the infringing Software and refund the license fee paid for the infringing Software, pro-rated over a sixty (60) month period from the date of delivery of the Software following an  Order . This Section states the entire liability of Quest, and Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, with respect to a Claim.
            13.  Limitation of Liability.  EXCEPT FOR (A) ANY BREACH OF THE "RESTRICTIONS" OR "NONDISCLOSURE" SECTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, (B) AMOUNTS CONTAINED IN JUDGMENTS OR SETTLEMENTS WHICH QUEST IS LIABLE TO PAY ON BEHALF OF CUSTOMER UNDER THE “INFRINGEMENT” SECTION OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR (C)  any liability to the extent LIABILITY may not be excluded or limited as a matter of law, IN NO EVENT SHALL QUEST, ITS AFFILIATES, OR SUPPLIERS, OR CUSTOMER BE LIABLE FOR  any loss of revenue, loss of actual or anticipated profits, loss of business, loss of contracts, loss of goodwill or reputation, loss of anticipated savings, loss of, damage to or corruption of data, or for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss or damage of any kind, in each case howsoever arising, whether such loss or damage was foreseeable or in the contemplation of the parties and whether arising in or for breach of contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise.
            EXCEPT FOR (a) any breach of CUSTOMER’S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS; (b) ANY BREACH OF THE "software LICENSE," RESTRICTIONS," “export” OR "NONDISCLOSURE" SECTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER VIOLATION OF THE OTHER PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS; (c) QUEST’s express obligations under THE “INFRINGEMENT” SECTION OF THIS  AGREEMENT; OR (d) any liability to the extent LIABILITY may not be excluded or limited as a matter of law, The maximum aggregate and cumulative liability of QUEST, its affiliates and suppliers, and CUSTOMER under this agreement, whether arising in or for breach of contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, shall not exceed THE FEES PAID and/OR OWED (as applicable) BY CUSTOMER FOR THE pRODUCTS OR maintenance SERVICES THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE CLAIM. FOR MAINTENANCE SERVICES OR A PRODUCT SUBJECT TO RECURRING FEES, THE LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT paid and/OR OWED (as applicable) FOR SUCH MAINTENANCE SERVICE OR PRODUCT during the TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
            Quest’s Affiliates and suppliers shall be beneficiaries of this “Limitation of Liability" section and Customer’s Service Providers are entitled to the rights granted under the "Third Party Use" section of this Agreement; otherwise, no third party beneficiaries exist under this Agreement. Quest expressly excludes any and all liability to Customer’s Service Providers, Clients and to any other third party.
            14.  Nondisclosure. “Confidential Information” means information or materials disclosed by one party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) that are not generally available to the public and which, due to their character and nature, a reasonable person under like circumstances would treat as confidential, including, without limitation, the Disclosing Party’s personal data, financial information, marketing information, trade secrets, know-how, proprietary tools, proprietary knowledge and proprietary methodologies.

The Receiving Party shall inform its Representatives of the confidential nature of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and the requirements regarding restrictions on disclosure and use as set forth in this Section and shall disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information only to its Representatives who are legally bound to protect the Confidential Information under terms at least as restrictive as those provided herein. The Receiving Party agrees to protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use or disclosure by exercising at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own similar information, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. The Receiving Party shall be liable to the Disclosing Party for any disclosure or other breach in violation of this Agreement by any of its Representatives. The Receiving Party shall promptly notify the Disclosing Party of any known unauthorized use or disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and will cooperate with the Disclosing Party in any litigation brought by the Disclosing Party against third parties to protect its proprietary rights.

Any such reviews shall be scheduled at least fifteen (15) days in advance, shall be conducted during normal business hours at Customer's facilities, and shall not unreasonably interfere with Customer's business activities.  If Customer's use of the Products is found to be greater than contracted for Customer will be invoiced for the additional use and the unpaid fees shall be payable in accordance with this Agreement. Additionally, if the unpaid fees exceed five percent (5%) of the fees paid for the subject Products, then Customer shall also pay Quest's reasonable costs of conducting the audit. This Section shall not limit or restrict any other rights or remedies of Quest that are otherwise set forth in this Agreement or available at law.
            16.  General.
            (a)	Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that would require the application of laws of a different state. The parties agree that neither the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, nor the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) shall apply to this Agreement, regardless of the states in which the parties do business or are incorporated.  Any action seeking enforcement of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the County of Orange, State of California, United States of America.
