Professional Services performed on a fixed fee basis are limited to the scope of services stated in the applicable Order.

3.2. Ownership of Deliverables.

For the avoidance of doubt, the SafeGuard Cyber Materials do not include any Customer Confidential Information or other Customer provided materials or data. Upon payment in full of the amounts due hereunder for the applicable Professional Services, and to the extent that SafeGuard Cyber Materials are incorporated into the Deliverable(s), you shall have a perpetual, non-transferrable (except as expressly provided in Section 13.2, Assignment), non-exclusive license to use the SafeGuard Cyber Materials solely as a part of the Deliverable(s) for your Internal Use.

AFFILIATES; ORDERS; PAYMENT OF FEES AND TAXES

4.1. Affiliates. Any Affiliate purchasing hereunder, or using or accessing any Offering hereunder, or benefitting from the Customer’s use of an Offering, will be bound by and comply with all terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Customer signing these SafeGuard Cyber Terms of Use will remain responsible for Customer’s Affiliates’ acts and omissions, unless Customer’s Affiliate has entered into its own Terms of Use with SafeGuard Cyber.

4.2. Orders. Only those transaction-specific terms stating the Offerings ordered, quantity of licenses, price, payment terms, Subscription/Order Term, and billing/provisioning contact information (and for the avoidance of doubt, specifically excluding any pre-printed terms on a Customer or reseller purchase order) will have any force or effect unless a particular Order Form is executed by an authorized signing official of SafeGuard Cyber and returned to Customer (or the applicable reseller). If any such Order Form is so executed and delivered, then only those specific terms on the face of such Order Form that expressly identify those portions of this Agreement that are to be superseded will prevail over any conflicting terms herein, but only with respect to those Services or Offerings ordered on such Order Form. Orders are non-cancellable. Any Order through a reseller is subject to, and SafeGuard Cyber’s obligations and liabilities to Customer in connection with that Order are governed by, this Agreement.

4.3. Payment of Fees and Taxes. Customer will pay the Fees for Offerings to SafeGuard Cyber or its designated reseller as set forth in the applicable Order. SafeGuard Cyber Products are provided to Customer on an annual subscription basis, with Fees payable in advance. If Customer’s use of a SafeGuard Cyber Product exceeds the limitations set forth in the applicable Order, Customer shall be billed for the excess usage in accordance with SafeGuard Cyber’s then current rates, and Customer agrees to pay the additional Fees in the manner provided herein. Unless otherwise expressly set forth on the Order, Customer will pay the Fees and amounts stated on each Order within thirty (30) days after receipt of the applicable invoice. Except as explicitly set forth herein, all Fees are nonrefundable. SafeGuard Cyber reserves the right to change the Fees and institute new Fees at any time upon notice to Customer, with such updated Fees to apply to any renewal by Customer. In the event that SafeGuard Cyber or its designated reseller is required to pay any withholding tax to any governmental entity in Customer’s jurisdiction in connection with the provision of the Service to Customer, then such withholding tax shall be billed to Customer in addition to the annual Fees, such that the net payment received by SafeGuard Cyber or its designated reseller after the dedication of such withholding tax remains the same as if no withholding tax was applicable. Any such invoice shall be due and payable no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the applicable invoice.

TERM; TERMINATION; SUSPENSION

Customer’s Subscription/Order Term will commence on the effective date of the Agreement or Order Form (as the case may be), and shall continue for a period of one (1) year thereafter (the “Initial Term”). Subject to earlier termination as provided below, following the Initial Term, Customer’s subscription will automatically renew for additional one (1) year periods (each a “Renewal Term” and together with the Initial Term comprising the “Term”), unless either Party requests termination in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current Term.

In addition to any other remedies it may have, SafeGuard Cyber may terminate Customer’s use of an Offering if Customer breaches any of the terms or conditions herein and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days following notice thereof. If Customer is in material breach of these Terms of Use, SafeGuard Cyber reserves the right to immediately suspend access to the Offering until such breach is cured. SafeGuard Cyber may also suspend Customer’s access to an Offering if Customer has not paid the Fees for a Renewal Term in a timely manner following receipt of an invoice, or if Customer fails to confirm its desire to renew the Offering following inquiry by SafeGuard Cyber.

Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason: (a) all access and use rights granted to Customer pursuant to this Agreement will terminate; (b) Customer must promptly cease all use of any SafeGuard Cyber Offering; and (c) SafeGuard Cyber will, consistent with this Agreement and in accordance with the SafeGuard Cyber Data Processing Agreement, delete any archived data associated with Customer’s account after the effective termination date. If Customer wants to receive a copy of its archived data, then it shall provide SafeGuard Cyber with a written request for the data at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective termination date. Sections 1 (Definitions), 2 (Access and Use Rights; Responsibilities; Restrictions), 3 (Professional Services), 5 (Term; Termination; Suspension), 7 (Confidentiality), 10 (Limitation of Liability), 12 (U.S. Government Customers), and 13 (General), and all liabilities that accrue prior to termination shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Each Party to these Terms of Use understands that, in connection with the provision and use of SafeGuard Cyber Offerings, the Parties may disclose Confidential Information to each other.

7.1. Definitions. In connection with this Agreement, the term “Receiving Party” means a Party receiving “Confidential Information” from the other Party, and the term “Disclosing Party” means a Party providing “Confidential Information” to the other Party. The term “Confidential Information” means non-public information in any form that is in the Receiving Party’s possession - regardless of the method of acquisition - that the Disclosing Party designates as confidential or that should be reasonably known by the Receiving Party to be confidential due to the nature of the information disclosed and/or the circumstances surrounding the disclosure. Confidential Information shall not include information that is: (i) in or becomes part of the public domain (other than by disclosure by the Receiving Party in violation of this Agreement), (ii) previously known to the Receiving Party without an obligation of confidentiality that is demonstrable by the Receiving Party, (iii) independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, or (iv) rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without an obligation of confidentiality.

The Receiving Party shall not use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information for any purpose other than as set forth in this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall take the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own Confidential Information of similar nature and importance (but in no event less than reasonable care) to protect the confidentiality and avoid the unauthorized use, disclosure, publication or dissemination of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall immediately notify the Disclosing Party upon discovery of any unauthorized use, disclosure, publication, or dissemination of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

7.3. Exceptions. The Receiving Party may disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information: (i) to the extent required by applicable law or regulation; (ii) pursuant to a subpoena or order of a court or regulatory, self-regulatory, or legislative body of competent jurisdiction; (iii) in connection with any regulatory report, audit, or inquiry; or (iv) where requested by a regulator with jurisdiction over the Receiving Party. In the event of such a requirement or request, the Receiving Party shall, to the extent legally permitted: (a) give the Disclosing Party prompt written notice of such requirement or request prior to such disclosure; and (b) at the Disclosing Party’s cost, a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the disclosure and request confidential treatment or a protective order pertaining thereto prior to the Receiving Party making such disclosure. If the Receiving Party is legally required to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of: (x) a legal proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party but the Receiving Party is not; or (y) a government or regulatory investigation of the Disclosing Party, the Disclosing Party shall pay all of the Receiving Party’s reasonable and actual out of pocket legal fees and expenses (as evidenced by reasonably detailed invoices) and will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable costs and fees of compelling and providing such Confidential Information, including a reasonable hourly rate for time spent preparing for, and participating in, depositions and other testimony.

7.4. Destruction. Upon the Disclosing Party’s written request, the Receiving Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to destroy the Confidential Information and any copies or extracts thereof. However, the Receiving Party, its Affiliates and their Representatives may retain any Confidential Information that: (i) they are are required to keep for compliance purposes under a document retention policy or as required by applicable law, professional standards, a court or a regulatory agency; or (ii) have been created electronically pursuant to automatic or ordinary course of business archiving, back-up, security, or disaster recovery systems or procedures; provided, however, that any such retained information shall remain subject to this Agreement. Upon the Disclosing Party’s request, the Receiving Party will provide the Disclosing Party with written confirmation of destruction in compliance with this section.

7.5. Equitable Relief. Each Party to this Agreement acknowledges that a breach of this Section shall cause the other party irreparable injury and damage. Therefore, each party agrees that those breaches may be stopped through injunctive proceedings in addition to any other rights and remedies which may be available to the injured party at law or in equity without the posting of a bond.

U.S. GOVERNMENT CUSTOMERS

12.1. Commercial Items. This Section applies to all acquisitions by or for the U.S. Government, or by any U.S. Government prime contractor or subcontractor at any tier (“U.S. Government Users”), under any U.S. Government contract, grant, other transaction, or other funding agreement. The SafeGuard Cyber Offerings are “commercial items” as that term is defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) (48 C.F.R.) 2.101, consisting of “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation,” as such terms are used in FAR 12.211 and 12.212. In addition, U.S. Department of Defense FAR Supplement (“DFARS”) 252.227-7015 (Technical Data - Commercial Items) applies to technical data acquired by U.S. Department of Defense agencies. Consistent with FAR 12.211 and 12.212 and DFARS (48 C.F.R.) 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, the SafeGuard Cyber Offerings are being licensed to Government Users pursuant to the terms of the license(s) customarily provided to the public as set forth in this Agreement, unless such terms are inconsistent with United States federal law (“Federal Law”).

12.2. Disputes with the U.S. Government. If this Agreement fails to meet the U.S. Government’s needs or is inconsistent in any way with Federal Law and the Parties cannot reach a mutual agreement on terms for this Agreement, the U.S. Government agrees to terminate its use of the SafeGuard Cyber Offerings. In the event of any disputes with the U.S. Government in connection with this Agreement, Section 13.3 (Governing Law: Venue) shall not apply. Instead, the rights and duties of the Parties arising from this Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with Federal Procurement Law and any such disputes shall be resolved pursuant to the Contract Disputes Act of 1978, as amended (41 U.S.C. Sections 7101-7109), as implemented by the Disputes Clause, FAR 52.233-1.

12.3. Precedence. The U.S. Government rights in this Section are in lieu of and supersede any other FAR, DFARs, or other clause, provision, or supplemental regulation that addresses U.S. Government rights in the Offerings under this Agreement.

GENERAL

13.1. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Customer and SafeGuard Cyber concerning the subject matter of this Agreement and it supersedes all prior and simultaneous proposals, agreements, understandings, or other communications between the Parties, oral or written, regarding such subject matter. It is expressly agreed that the terms of this Agreement shall supersede any terms in any reseller order form or other similar non-SafeGuard Cyber document, and no such terms included in any non-SafeGuard Cyber document shall apply to the Offerings ordered. Any Order through a reseller is subject to, and SafeGuard Cyber’s obligations and liabilities to Customer are governed by, this Agreement. SafeGuard Cyber is not obligated under any reseller’s agreement with you unless a duly authorized officer of SafeGuard Cyber executes the agreement. This Agreement shall not be construed for or against any Party to this Agreement because that Party or that Party’s legal representative drafted any of its provisions.

13.2. Assignment. Neither Party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, except to an Affiliate in connection with a corporate reorganization or in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of substantially all of its business and/or assets. Any assignment in violation of this Section shall be void. Subject to the foregoing, all rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by and against the successors and permitted assigns.

13.3. Governing Law: Venue. Except as otherwise provided, this Agreement, and the rights and duties of the Parties arising from this Agreement, shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue for actions arising under this Agreement shall be state and federal courts in Charlottesville, Virginia, and the Parties agree to service of process in accordance with the rules of such courts. The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act and the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods shall not apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party reserves the right to file a suit or action in any court of competent jurisdiction as such Party deems necessary to protect its intellectual property rights and, in SafeGuard Cyber’s case, to recoup any payments due.

13.4. Permission to Identify You as a Customer. Unless you direct otherwise (at any time) by sending written notice to us at legal@safeguardcyber.com, you agree that SafeGuard Cyber may identify you as a customer and display your company name and logo (in accordance with any trademark guidelines you provide) in a manner that does not suggest your use or endorsement of any specific SafeGuard Cyber Offering.

13.5. Independent Contractors: No Third Party Rights. The Parties are independent contractors. This Agreement shall not establish any relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise, or agency between Customer and SafeGuard Cyber. No provision in this Agreement is intended or shall create any rights with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement in any third party.

13.6. Waiver, Severability and Amendment of Agreement. The failure of either Party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or any subsequent breach. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to achieve the intent of the Parties, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. This Agreement may only be amended, or any term or condition set forth herein waived, by written consent of both SafeGuard Cyber and Customer.

13.7. Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable for, nor shall either party be considered in breach of this Agreement due to, any failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement (other than its payment obligations) as a result of a cause beyond its control, including but not limited to: an act of God or a public enemy, an act of any military, civil or regulatory authority, a change in any law or regulation, fire, flood, earthquake, storm or other like event, disruption or outage of communications (including an upstream server block and Internet or other networked environment disruption or outage), power or other utility, labor problem, or any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing, which could not have been prevented with reasonable care. The Party experiencing a force majeure event shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice of such to the other Party.

13.8. Notices. All legal notices will be given in writing to the addresses in the Order and will be effective: (i) when personally delivered, (ii) on the reported delivery date if sent by a recognized international or overnight courier, or (iii) five business days after being sent by registered or certified mail (or ten days for international mail). For clarity, Orders, purchase orders, confirmations, invoices and other documents related to processing and payment are not legal notices and may be delivered electronically in accordance with each Party’s standard ordering procedures.

13.9. Modification of Terms of Use. SafeGuard Cyber reserves the right to modify these Terms of Use at any time by posting such modified Terms of Use on SafeGuard Cyber’s website: https://www.safeguardcyber.com/.
