vendor, after modifications, updates or new versions shall deliver to the Bank
required copies of the revised object code version of the latest Software and the

in the software as dynamic online documentation / help files, wherever applicable.
The object code version of the Software, executables and required run-time files
shall be on Compact Disc or on any such media as desired by the Bank as may be
applicable.
The grant of license by the vendor herein shall be for processing the internal
business of the Bank or its affiliates and does not, without limitation, include the
rights to reverse engineer, reverse compile or otherwise arrive at the source code of
the Software nor does it include the rights to sell, lease, license, sublicense or
otherwise transfer, convey or alienate the software for commercial consideration to
any person.
Except as specifically agreed by and between vendor and Bank, the ownership of all
rights, title and interest, including without limitation, all patents, copy right, trade
secrets and any other form of intellectual property rights in and to software, any
derivative works thereof and enhancements thereto, hardware and documentation
are and shall at all times remain with the vendor or its Licensors and be the sole and
exclusive property of the vendor or its Licensors. The Bank acknowledges and agrees
that nothing contained in this RFP and subsequent Agreement shall be construed as
conveying by the vendor or its licensor‘s title or ownership interest in any licensed
software or any derivative works thereof and enhancements thereto. Nothing
contained herein shall be construed to preclude the vendor from owing, using,
Rights
The vendor shall ensure that the equipment (including hardware and software) does
not infringe third party intellectual property rights. If a third party's claim
endangers or disrupts the Bank‘s use of the software, the vendor shall be required
to, at no further expense, charge, fees or costs to the Bank, (i) obtain a license so
that the Bank may continue use of the equipment in accordance with the terms of
this RFP and subsequent Agreement and the license agreement; or (ii) modify the
equipment without affecting the functionality in any manner so as to avoid the
infringement; or (iii) replace the equipment with a compatible, functionally
equivalent and non-infringing product; or (iv) refund to the Bank the amount paid
for the infringing software and bear the incremental costs of procuring a
functionally equivalent equipment from a third party, provided the option under the
sub clause (iv) shall be exercised by the Bank in the event of the failure of the
vendor to provide effective remedy under options (i) to (iii) within a reasonable
period which would not affect the normal functioning of the Bank. The vendor shall
have no liability for any claim of infringement based on (i) a claim which continues
because of Bank‘s failure to use a modified or replaced software that is at least
functionally equivalent to the software, or the Bank‘s failure to use corrections,
fixes, or enhancements made available and implemented by the vendor, despite
notice of such failure by the vendor in writing, (ii) any change, not made by or on
behalf of the vendor, to some or all of the software/deliverables supplied by the
vendor or modification thereof; or (iii) the Bank‘s continued misuse of some or all of
the software/deliverables or any modification thereof despite notice from the
vendor of such misuse in writing.
Vendor is the Prime Vendor for purposes of all deliverables and services, with the
single-point responsibility for the same. Should the software provided by the vendor
be infringing, it would have a serious business impact on the business of the Bank.
Therefore, the vendor should take responsibility of its actions. Even if Bank would
have used the deliverables before the infringement was noticed, legally each such
use constituted infringement and therefore the vendor is in breach of the vendor‘s
warranty and obligation.

performance indicators for the scope of work. The objective of the SLA is to clearly
define the levels of services to be delivered by the Successful Bidder to IDBI for the

sections are for the period of contract or its revision whichever is earlier.

Mechanism
Percentage
The percentage of uptime shall be calculated monthly and the amount calculated shall be
adjusted from every subsequent quarterly payment. The SLA charges will be subject to an
overall cap of 10% of the Monthly Maintenance Charges and thereafter, Bank has the
discretion to cancel the contract. If the vendor fails to meet an uptime of 99.90% for three
(3) consecutive months, the Bank shall have the discretion to terminate the contract. In
case if there are no pending invoices to be paid by the Bank to the vendor, the vendor has to
submit a pay order / Cheque payable in favor of IDBI Bank for the same within 15 days from
the notice period from the Bank.

be same as IDBI bank‘s RTO and RPO for the current treasury system.

limit specified above on the At-Risk Amount (‗ARA‘).
• The successful bidder must strictly adhere to the delivery dates or lead times identified
in its proposal. Failure to meet these delivery dates, unless it is due to reasons entirely
attributable to IDBI, may constitute a material breach of the Bidder‘s performance. As
a cause for delay during implementation, IDBI may levy penalties for delays
attributable to the successful bidder. The reasons like non-familiarity with the site
conditions and/ or existing IT infrastructure will not be considered as a reason for
delay.
Penalties Clause:
• The purchaser may without prejudice to its right to effect recovery by any other
method, deduct the amount of penalty from any money belonging to the bidder it its
hands (which also includes the purchaser‘s right to claim such amount against bidder‘s
Bank Guarantee) or which may become due to the Bidder. Any such recovery of penalty
shall not in any way relieve the Bidder from any of its obligations to complete the
works/services or from any other obligations and liabilities under the Contract.

project plan. If two separate milestones (running parallel) are defaulted then the

milestones.

date of contractual obligation and continuously improved during the interim period till

disaster situation; and

fulfill the requirements as per the contract.
The vendor shall compensate the Bank for such financial loss, direct, suffered by the Bank

customization as required by the Bank as per the terms and conditions of this RFP and
