How does it work contractually?
Oracle sells and delivers its on premise and cloud solutions by making use of two different standard agreements:
- Oracle Master Agreement (T)OMA - Oracle’s on-premises software
- Cloud Service Agreement (CSA) – Oracle’s cloud services software
Both agreements specify in the Rights Granted section that you can only use the Oracle programs or Oracle Cloud Services for your internal business operations. We’ve highlighted the relevant parts of the contracts below:
Oracle Master Agreement (OMA) – rights granted:
Upon Oracle’s acceptance of Your order, You have the non-exclusive, non-assignable, royalty free, perpetual (unless otherwise specified in the order), limited right to use the Programs and receive any Program-related Service Offerings You ordered solely for Your internal business operations and subject to the terms of the Master Agreement, including the definitions and rules set forth in the order and the Program Documentation.
Oracle Cloud Services Agreement – use of the services:
We will make the Oracle services listed in Your order (the “Services”) available to You pursuant to this Agreement and Your order. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement or Your order, You have the non-exclusive, worldwide, limited right to use the Services during the period defined in Your order, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Agreement or Your order (the “Services Period”), solely for Your internal business operations. You may allow Your Users (as defined below) to use the Services for this purpose, and You are responsible for their compliance with this Agreement and Your order.
