Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Net Force’s receipt of applicable fees), Net Force grants Customer, under Net Force’s intellectual property rights in and to the applicable Product, a non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as expressly provided in the Section entitled Assignment), non-sublicensable license to access and use the Products in accordance with any applicable Documentation solely for Customer’s Internal Use during the applicable Subscription/Order Term. Customer’s access and use is limited to the quantity in the applicable Order. Furthermore, the following additional terms and conditions apply to specific Products (or components thereof):

The access and use rights set forth in the Section entitled Access & Use Rights do not include any rights to, and you will not, with respect to any Offering (or any portion thereof): (i) employ or authorize a Net Force Competitor to use or view the Offering or Documentation, or to provide management, hosting, or support for an Offering; (ii) alter, publicly display, translate, create derivative works of or otherwise modify an Offering; (iii) sublicense, distribute or otherwise transfer an Offering to any third party (except as expressly provided in the Section entitled Assignment); (iv) allow third parties to access or use an Offering (except for Customer Contractors as expressly permitted herein); (v) create public Internet “links” to an Offering or “frame” or “mirror” any Offering content on any other server or wireless or Internet-based device; (vi) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive the source code (if any) for an Offering (except to the extent that such prohibition is expressly precluded by applicable law), circumvent its functions, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to an Offering or its related systems or networks; (vii) use an Offering to circumvent the security of another party’s network/information, develop malware, unauthorized surreptitious surveillance, data modification, data exfiltration, data ransom or data destruction; (viii) remove or alter any notice of proprietary right appearing on an Offering; (ix) conduct any stress tests, competitive benchmarking or analysis on, or publish any performance data of, an Offering (provided, that this does not prevent Customer from comparing the Products to other products for Customer’s Internal Use); (x) use any feature of Net Force APIs for any purpose other than in the performance of, and in accordance with, this Agreement; or (xi) cause, encourage or assist any third party to do any of the foregoing. Customer agrees to use an Offering in accordance with laws, rules and regulations directly applicable to Customer and acknowledges that Customer is solely responsible for determining whether a particular use of an Offering is compliant with such laws.

3.4 Installation and User Accounts. Net Force is not responsible for installing Products unless you purchase installation services from Net Force. For those Products requiring user accounts, only the single individual user assigned to a user account may access or use the Product. You are liable and responsible for all actions and omissions occurring under your and your Customer Contractor’s user accounts for Offerings. You shall notify Net Force if you learn of any unauthorized access or use of your user accounts or passwords for an Offering.

3.5 Malware Samples. If Net Force makes malware samples available to Customer in connection with an evaluation or use of the Product (“Malware Samples”), Customer acknowledges and agrees that: (i) Customer’s access to and use of Malware Samples is at Customer’s own risk, and (ii) Customer should not download or access any Malware Samples on or through its own production systems and networks and that doing so can infect and damage Customer’s systems, networks, and data. Customer shall use the Malware Samples solely for Internal Use and not for any malicious or unlawful purpose. Net Force will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by any Malware Sample that may infect Customer’s computer equipment, computer programs, data, or other proprietary material due to Customer’s access to or use of the Malware Samples.

3.6 Third Party Software and Components. Net Force uses certain third-party software and embedded components in its Offerings and Products, including both commercially licensed and open source materials. These may consist of full software applications as well as individual modules, libraries, SDKs, APIs, or other integrated elements (collectively, “Third Party Components”). Under some of these third-party licenses, Net Force may be required to provide Customer with notice of applicable license terms and attribution. The licensing terms and attributions for such third-party software and components can be found with each respective software or solution designed, bundled, or sold by Net Force. Customer’s use of the Offerings may be subject to these additional third-party terms, as applicable. See the licensing terms and attributions for such third party software that Net Force uses at:

3.7 Ownership & Feedback. Products, Product-Related Services and the Net Force Tools are made available for use or licensed, not sold. Net Force owns and retains all right, title and interest (including all intellectual property rights) in and to the Products, Product-Related Services and the Net Force Tools. Any feedback or suggestions that Customer provides to Net Force regarding its Offerings and Net Force Tools (e.g., bug fixes and features requests) is non-confidential and may be used by Net Force for any purpose without acknowledgement or compensation; provided, Customer will not be identified publicly as the source of the feedback or suggestion.

4. Customer Contractors.

4.1 Authorization. Customer authorizes Net Force to give Customer Contractors the rights and privileges to the Offerings necessary to enable and provide for Customer’s use and receipt of the Customer Contractor Services. If at any time Customer revokes this authorization, to the extent the Offerings provide for Customer to limit the Customer Contractor’s access and use of the Offerings, then Customer is responsible for taking the actions necessary to revoke such access and use. In the event Customer requires Net Force assistance with such revocation or limitation, Customer must contact Net Force Support with written notice of such revocation or limitation at support@net-force.net and Net Force will disable the Customer Contractor’s access to Customer’s Offerings within a reasonable period of time following receipt of such notice but in any event within 72 hours of receipt of such notice.

4.2 Disclaimer. Customer Contractors are subject to the terms and conditions in the Agreement while they are using the Offerings on behalf of Customer and Customer remains responsible for their acts and omissions during such time. Any breach by a Customer Contractor of this Agreement is a breach by Customer. Net Force may make available Customer Contractor Services to Customer, for example, through an online directory, catalog, store, or marketplace. Customer Contractor Services are not required for use of the Offerings. Offerings may contain features, including API’s, designed to interface with or provide data to Customer Contractor Services. Net Force is not responsible or liable for any loss, costs or damages arising out of Customer Contractor’s actions or inactions in any manner, including but not limited to, for any disclosure, transfer, modification or deletion of Customer Data (defined in Exhibit A). Whether or not a Customer Contractor is designated by Net Force as, or otherwise claims to be “certified,” “authorized,” or similarly labeled, Net Force does not: (i) control, monitor, maintain or provide support for, Customer Contractor Services, (ii) disclaims all warranties of any kind, indemnities, obligations, and other liabilities in connection with the Customer Contractor Services, and any Customer Contractor interface or integration with the Offerings, and (iii) cannot guarantee the continued availability of Customer Contractor Services and related features. If Customer Contractor Services and related features are no longer available for any reason, Net Force is not obligated to provide any refund, credit, or other compensation for, or related to, the Offerings.

4.3 Restrictions on Customer Contractors. Customer shall not give or allow Customer Contractors access to, or use of, intelligence reports provided by, or made accessible in, the Products. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein prevents Customer from using intelligence API’s in Customer Contractor Services for Customer’s Internal Use.

5. Professional Services.

5.1 Fees. Professional Services will commence on a mutually agreed upon date. Estimates provided for Professional Services performed on a time-and-material basis are estimates only and not a guaranteed time of completion. Professional Services performed on a fixed fee basis are limited to the scope of services stated in the applicable Order.

5.2 Ownership of Deliverables. Professional Services do not constitute “works for hire,” “works made in the course of duty,” or similar terms under laws where the transfer of intellectual property occurs on the performance of services to a payor. The only deliverable arising from the Professional Services is a report consisting primarily of Net Force’s findings, recommendations, and adversary information. You own the copy of the report (including without limitation, all your Confidential Information therein) delivered to you (“Deliverable”), subject to Net Force’s ownership of the Net Force Materials. You agree that relative to you, Net Force exclusively owns any and all software (including object and source code), flow charts, algorithms, documentation, adversary information, report templates, know-how, inventions, techniques, models, Net Force trademarks, ideas and any and all other works and materials developed by Net Force in connection with performing the Professional Services (including without limitation all intellectual property rights therein and thereto) (collectively, the “Net Force Materials”) and that title shall remain with Net Force. For the avoidance of doubt, the Net Force 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 the Net Force Materials are incorporated into the Deliverable(s), you shall have a perpetual, non-transferable (except as expressly provided in the Section entitled Assignment), non-exclusive license to use the Net Force Materials solely as a part of the Deliverable(s) for your Internal Use.

6. Data Security and Privacy. See Exhibit A.

7. Confidentiality.

7.1 Definitions. In connection with this Agreement, each party (“Recipient”) may receive Confidential Information of the other party (“Discloser”) or third parties to whom Discloser has a duty of confidentiality. “Confidential Information” means non-public information in any form that is in the Recipient’s possession regardless of the method of acquisition that the Discloser designates as confidential to Recipient or should be reasonably known by the Recipient to be Confidential Information 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 Recipient in violation of this Agreement); (ii) previously known to Recipient without an obligation of confidentiality and demonstrable by the Recipient; (iii) independently developed by Recipient without use of Discloser’s Confidential Information; or (iv) rightfully obtained by Recipient from third parties without an obligation of confidentiality.

7.2 Restrictions on Use. Except as allowed in Section 7.3 (Exceptions), Recipient shall hold Discloser’s Confidential Information in strict confidence and shall not disclose any such Confidential Information to any third party, other than to its employees, and contractors, including without limitation, counsel, accountants, and financial advisors (collectively, “Representatives”), its Affiliates and their Representatives, subject to the other terms of this Agreement, and in each case who need to know such information and who are bound by restrictions regarding disclosure and use of such information comparable to and no less restrictive than those set forth herein. Recipient shall not use Discloser’s Confidential Information for any purpose other than as set forth in this Agreement. Recipient shall take the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own confidential information of a 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 Discloser’s Confidential Information. Within 72 hours of Recipient becoming aware of the unauthorized use, disclosure, publication, or dissemination of the Discloser’s Confidential Information while in Recipient’s control, Recipient shall provide Discloser with notice thereof.

7.3 Exceptions. Recipient may disclose Discloser’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 Recipient. In the event of such a requirement or request, Recipient shall, to the extent legally permitted: (a) give Discloser prompt written notice of such requirement or request prior to such disclosure; and (b) at Discloser’s cost, a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the disclosure and request confidential treatment or a protective order pertaining thereto prior to Recipient making such disclosure. If the Recipient is legally required to disclose the Discloser’s Confidential Information as part of: (x) a legal proceeding to which the Discloser is a party but the Recipient is not; or (y) a government or regulatory investigation of the Discloser, the Discloser shall pay all of the Recipient’s reasonable and actual out of pocket legal fees and expenses (as evidenced by reasonably detailed invoices) and will reimburse the Recipient for its reasonable costs and fees of compiling 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 Discloser’s written request, Recipient shall use commercially reasonable efforts to destroy the Confidential Information and any copies or extracts thereof. However, Recipient, its Affiliates and their Representatives may retain any Confidential Information that: (i) they are required to keep for compliance purposes under a document retention policy or as required by applicable law, professional standards, a court, or regulatory agency; or (ii) have been created electronically pursuant to automatic or ordinary course archiving, back-up, security, or disaster recovery systems or procedures; provided, however, that any such retained information shall remain subject to this Agreement. Upon Discloser’s request, Recipient will provide Discloser with written confirmation of destruction in compliance with this provision.

7.5 Equitable Relief. Each party acknowledges that a breach of this Section 7 (Confidentiality) 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.

8. Warranties & Disclaimer.

8.1 No Warranty for Pre-Production Versions. Any pre-production feature or version of an Offering provided to Customer is experimental and provided “AS IS” without warranty of any kind and will not create any obligation for Net Force to continue to develop, productize, support, repair, offer for sale, or in any other way continue to provide or develop any such feature or Offering. Customer agrees that its purchase is not contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features, or dependent on any oral or written statements made by Net Force regarding future functionality or features.

You must notify Net Force of any warranty claim during the Subscription/Order Term. Your sole and exclusive remedy and the entire liability of Net Force for its breach of this warranty will be for Net Force, at its own expense to do at least one of the following: (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide a work-around or correct such Error; or (b) terminate your license to access and use the applicable non-conforming Product and refund the prepaid fee prorated for the unused period of the Subscription/Order Term. Net Force shall have no obligation regarding Errors reported after the applicable Subscription/Order Term.

8.4 Exclusions. The express warranties do not apply if the applicable Product or Service: (i) has been modified, except by Net Force, (ii) has not been installed, used, or maintained in accordance with this Agreement or Documentation, or (iii) is non-conforming due to a failure to use an applicable Update. If any part of a Product or Service references websites, hypertext links, network addresses, or other third party locations, information, or activities, it is provided as a convenience only.

8.5 No Guarantee. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES, UNDERSTANDS, AND AGREES THAT NET FORCE DOES NOT GUARANTEE OR WARRANT THAT IT WILL FIND, LOCATE, CONTAIN, ELIMINATE, PREVENT, REMEDIATE OR DISCOVER ALL OF CUSTOMER’S OR ITS AFFILIATES’ SYSTEM RISKS, THREATS, VULNERABILITIES, MALWARE, MALICIOUS SOFTWARE, THREAT ACTORS, AND ADVERSARIES, AND CUSTOMER AND ITS AFFILIATES WILL NOT HOLD NET FORCE RESPONSIBLE THEREFOR.

8.6 Disclaimer. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES IN THIS SECTION 8, NET FORCE AND ITS AFFILIATES DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, NET FORCE AND ITS AFFILIATES AND SUPPLIERS SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE OFFERINGS AND NET FORCE TOOLS. THERE IS NO WARRANTY THAT THE OFFERINGS OR NET FORCE TOOLS WILL BE ERROR FREE, OR THAT THEY WILL OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION OR WILL FULFILL ANY OF CUSTOMER’S PARTICULAR PURPOSES OR NEEDS. THE OFFERINGS AND NET FORCE TOOLS ARE NOT FAULT-TOLERANT AND ARE NOT DESIGNED OR INTENDED FOR USE IN ANY HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENT REQUIRING FAIL-SAFE PERFORMANCE OR OPERATION. NEITHER THE OFFERINGS NOR NET FORCE TOOLS ARE FOR USE IN THE OPERATION OF AIRCRAFT NAVIGATION, NUCLEAR FACILITIES, COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, WEAPONS SYSTEMS, DIRECT OR INDIRECT LIFE-SUPPORT SYSTEMS, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL, OR ANY APPLICATION OR INSTALLATION WHERE FAILURE COULD RESULT IN DEATH, SEVERE PHYSICAL INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. Customer agrees that it is Customer’s responsibility to ensure safe use of an Offering and the Net Force Tools in such applications and installations. NET FORCE DOES NOT WARRANT ANY THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES.

9. Indemnification.

9.1 Net Force’s Obligation. Net Force shall at its cost and expense: (i) defend and/or settle any claim brought against Customer by an unaffiliated third party alleging that an Offering infringes or violates that third party’s intellectual property rights, and (ii) pay and indemnify any settlement of such claim or any damages awarded to such third party by a court of competent jurisdiction as a result of such claim; provided, that Customer: (a) gives Net Force prompt written notice of such claim; (b) permits Net Force to solely control and direct the defense or settlement of such claim (however, Net Force will not settle any claim in a manner that requires Customer to admit liability without Customer’s prior written consent); and (c) provides Net Force all reasonable assistance in connection with the defense or settlement of such claim, at Net Force’s cost and expense. In addition, Customer may, at Customer’s own expense, participate in defense of any claim.

14.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Customer and Net Force 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you have a Net Force Limited Warranty Agreement for Fractional Security Plans (or a preceding or successor named product) fully executed with Net Force, the warranty provided therein stands alone and is not superseded by this Agreement. It is expressly agreed that the terms of this Agreement shall supersede any terms in any procurement Internet portal or other similar non-Net Force document and no such terms included in any such portal or other non-Net Force document shall apply to the Offerings ordered. Any Order through a reseller is subject to, and Net Force’s obligations and liabilities to Customer are governed by, this Agreement. Net Force is not obligated under any reseller’s agreement with you unless an officer of Net Force 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.

14.2 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 all or 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.

Unless you direct otherwise by sending an email to us at contact@net-force.net, which direction may be given at any time, you agree that Net Force may display your company name and logo (in accordance with any trademark guidelines you provide) as a Net Force customer in a manner that does not suggest your use or endorsement of any specific Net Force product or service.

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.

14.6 Waiver, Severability & Amendments. 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 affect the intent of the parties, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

Exhibit A: Data Security and Privacy Schedule

1. Definitions

a. “Net Force Systems” means those computer systems hosting that comprises of the ‘Fractional Security Plans’.

b. “Customer Data” means the data generated by the Customer’s Endpoint and collected by: (i) the Products, and/or (ii) the Net Force Tools, and in either case, sent to the Net Force Systems. Customer Data is considered Customer’s Confidential Information (defined in Section 7 Confidentiality) and subject to the exclusions, exceptions and obligations set forth therein and this Exhibit A Data Security and Privacy Schedule.

c. “Execution Profile/Metric Data” means any machine-generated data, such as metadata derived from tasks, file execution, commands, resources, network telemetry, executable binary files, macros, scripts, and processes, that: (i) Customer provides to Net Force in connection with this Agreement or (ii) is collected or discovered during the course of Net Force providing Offerings, excluding any such information or data that identifies Customer or to the extent it includes Personal Data.

d. “Personal Data” means information provided by Customer to Net Force or collected by Net Force from Customer used to distinguish or trace a natural person’s identity, either alone or when combined with other personal or identifying information that is linked or linkable by Net Force to a specific natural person. Personal Data also includes such other information about a specific natural person to the extent that the data protection laws applicable in the jurisdictions in which such person resides define such information as Personal Data.

e. “Privacy and Security Laws” means U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. laws, including those of the European Union, that regulate the privacy or security of Personal Data and that are directly applicable to Net Force.

f. “Security Breach” means unauthorized access to, or unauthorized acquisition of: (i) Customer Data, or (ii) Personal Data, stored on Net Force Systems that results in the compromise of such Customer Data and/or Personal Data.

g. “Threat Actor Data” means any malware, spyware, virus, worm, Trojan horse, or other potentially malicious or harmful code or files, URLs, DNS data, network telemetry, commands, processes or techniques, metadata, or other information or data, in each case that is potentially related to unauthorized third parties associated therewith and that: (i) Customer provides to Net Force in connection with this Agreement, or (ii) is collected or discovered during the course of Net Force providing Offerings, excluding any such information or data that identifies Customer or to the extent that it includes Personal Data.

2. Fractional Security Plans and Ecosystem

The ‘Fractional Security Plans and Ecosystem’ Net Force uses a crowd-sourced environment across comprised of multiple solution providers and solution vendors, for the benefit of all customers, to help customers protect themselves against suspicious and potentially destructive activities. These solution providers and solution vendors are designed to detect, prevent, respond to, and identify intrusions by collecting and analyzing data, including machine event data, executed scripts, code, system files, log files, dll files, login data, binary files, tasks, resource information, commands, protocol identifiers, URLs, network data, and/or other executable code and metadata. Customer, rather than Net Force, determines which types of data, whether Personal Data or not, exist on its systems. Accordingly, Customer’s endpoint environment is unique in configurations and naming conventions and the machine event data could potentially include Personal Data. Net Force uses the data to: (i) analyze, characterize, attribute, warn of, and/or respond to threats against Customer and other customer, (ii) analyze trends and performance, (iii) improve the functionality of, and develop, Net Force’s products and services, and enhance cybersecurity; and (iv) permit Customers to leverage other applications that use the data, but for all of the foregoing, in a way that does not identify Customer or Customer’s Personal Data to other customers. Neither Execution Profile/Metric Data nor Threat Actor Data are Customer’s Confidential Information or Customer Data.

3. Processing Personal Data

a. Provisioning/Use of Offerings. Personal Data may be collected and used during the provisioning and use of the Offerings to deliver, support and improve the Offerings, administer the Agreement and further the business relationship between you and Net Force, comply with law, act in accordance with your written instructions, or otherwise in accordance with this Agreement. You authorize Net Force to collect, use, store and transfer the Personal Data that you provide to Net Force as contemplated in this Agreement.

b. Suspicious/Unknown File Analysis. While using certain Net Force Offerings Customer may have the option to upload (by submission, configuration, and/or, in the case of Services, by Net Force personnel retrieval) files and other information related to the files for security analysis and response or, when submitting crash reports, to make the product more reliable and/or improve Net Force’s products and services or enhance cyber-security. These potentially suspicious or unknown files may be transmitted and analyzed to determine functionality and their potential to cause instability or damage your endpoint. In some instances, these files could contain Personal Data for which you are responsible.

4. Compliance with Privacy and Information Security Requirements

a. Compliance with Laws. Net Force shall comply with all Privacy and Security Laws, the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-US Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the US Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of Personal Data from the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, as applicable. Net Force’s privacy notice may be found at https://net-force.net/privacy.

Net Force shall maintain appropriate technical and organizational safeguards commensurate with the sensitivity of the Customer Data and Personal Data processed by it on Customer’s behalf, which are designed to protect the security, confidentiality, and integrity of such Customer Data and Personal Data and protect such Customer Data and Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access which substantially conform to the Center for Internet Security Critical Security Controls 18 control framework.
