This License is conditioned upon Licensee compliance with all of Licensee obligations under this Agreement. Except for the express licenses granted in this Section, no other rights or licenses are granted by Venafi, expressly, by implication, by way of estoppel or otherwise, including, without limitation, with respect to modifying, distributing, copying, displaying, or printing the Documentation. The Service and Documentation are licensed to Licensee and are not sold. Rights not granted in this Agreement are reserved by Venafi.
2. Affiliates. Unless Licensee’s Affiliates enter into an independent Agreement with Venafi, Licensee shall be responsible and liable for the acts and omissions of its Affiliates exercising rights under this Agreement or otherwise accessing or using the Service as if such acts and omissions were the acts and omissions of Licensee, and Licensee shall be responsible for paying the fees due under this Agreement for use of the Service or receipt of Maintenance Services by Licensee’s Affiliates.

  1. License Term. Licensee right to access and use the Service shall continue during (a) the term set forth in the applicable Order Form, (b) the Free Trial Period for a Trial Agreement, or (c) any time period during which Licensee accesses a Free Tier of the Service, unless and until Venafi discontinues the Free Tier or Licensee’s access to the Free Tier. Licensee’s right to access and use the Service during this term shall apply solely with respect to the subservices or products set forth in such Order Form or Trial Agreement or to the Free Tier of the Service, if applicable. Such term shall, in each case, be subject to the termination rights set forth in Section 2.3.2. Except as expressly set forth in the applicable Order Form, the License Term of an Order Form shall be specified therein and shall automatically renew for successive terms with any price changes communicated by Venafi and agreed to by Licensee, unless Licensee gives Venafi at least 60 days’ written notice of nonrenewal before the end of the applicable term.
  2. Termination. This Agreement is effective until terminated as set forth herein or until each applicable License Term expires and is not otherwise renewed by the parties.
    
    (a) Termination for Breach. Either party may terminate this Agreement and the License if the other party fails to comply with any term or condition of this Agreement in a material manner and such failure to comply is not cured within 30 days of notice thereof. In the event that Licensee breaches Section 2.4 (Restrictions on Use) by using the Service or information obtained from the Service to compete with Venafi or provide information to a Venafi competitor, then Venafi may terminate this Agreement immediately and suspend the License and access to the Service without providing notice or 30 days to cure such violation. If Licensee terminates due to Venafi’s breach, Licensee will receive a refund of any amounts that were prepaid pursuant to an Order Form, pro-rated for the remaining unused term thereunder. If Venafi terminates due to Licensee’s uncured breach, Licensee will not receive a refund of any amounts prepaid under any Order Form, nor will Licensee be relieved of the obligation to pay any unpaid amounts set forth in any Order Form. For purposes of this section and the Agreement, failure to meet support service levels or uptime service levels provided in this Agreement or otherwise communicated by Venafi is not a breach allowing for termination, but is subject only to the sole and exclusive remedy set forth in Section 4.2.
    
    (b) Effect of Termination. Upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement or the License, Licensees agree to cease all use of the Service if the License is not otherwise renewed or reinstated, including if Licensee does not have an outstanding Order Form and is not within a Free Trial Period. If, upon termination, Licensee later subscribes to the Service, including by entering into a Free Trial Period, Licensee shall have deemed to have agreed to the form of this Agreement as then in effect upon the beginning of such subscription. Upon termination, Venafi may also enforce any rights provided by law. The provisions of this Agreement that protect the proprietary rights of Venafi will continue in force after termination. If Licensee is in a Free Trial Period, Venafi may terminate this Agreement and any License granted to Licensee with respect to such Free Trial Period at any time and for any reason.
  3. Free Trial and Free Tier. If Licensee is within the Free Trial Period, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2, Licensee’s right to access and use the Service shall expire at the conclusion of the Free Trial Period unless Licensee enters into an Order Form with Venafi. If Licensee accesses a Free Tier, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2, Licensee’s right to access and use the Service shall expire when Venafi discontinues Licensee’s access to the Free Tier unless Licensee enters into an Order Form with Venafi. ANY DATA LICENSEE MAY PROVIDE IN CONNECTION WITH A FREE TIER OR FREE TRIAL PERIOD WILL BE PERMANENTLY LOST UNLESS LICENSEE PURCHASES A SUBSCRIPTION TO AN APPLICABLE TIER OF SERVICE PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF SUCH FREE TRIAL PERIOD OR DISCONTINUATION OF THE FREE TIER. NOTWITHSTANDING THE TERMS HEREOF, DURING ANY FREE TRIAL PERIOD OR PERIOD OF ACCESS TO THE FREE TIER, SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS-IS” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY AND VENAFI SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY NOR INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF ANY TYPE WITH RESPECT TO THE FREE TIER OR THE FREE TRIAL PERIOD UNLESS SUCH EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY IS NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW IN WHICH CASE VENAFI’S TOTAL LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO THE FREE TIER OR FREE TRIAL PERIOD SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED $1,000.00 UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY AND IN AGGREGATING ALL CLAIMS LICENSEE OR LICENSEE AFFILIATES MAY HAVE AGAINST VENAFI OR ITS AFFILIATES.

In such instance, the fee bearing certificate(s) will be issued to Licensee by the CA and any access to or use of such certificates by Licensee will be subject to the terms and conditions set out by the CA. No fees will be paid to or processed by Venafi with respect to such CA.
  2. Licensee shall not use (or cause to be used) the Service for the benefit of any third party, including without limitation by rental, in the operation of an Applications Service Provider (ASP) service offering or as a service bureau, or any similar means.

In the event Venafi provides Licensee with a Script (as hereinafter defined) for use with the Service or Licensee obtains such a Script through the Venafi Marketplace, Licensee’s use of such Script shall be strictly limited to use solely in conjunction with the Service or other Venafi licensed software and services. Licensee shall not modify the Script in any way, extract snippets of the Script(s) for use other than as authorized here, or distribute the Script(s) in any form or method at any time. For sake of clarity as used in this Agreement, a “Script” is an uncompiled computer program or sequence of instructions that is interpreted or carried out by the Service for the purpose of enabling interoperability between the Service or other llicensed Venafi software and services and a third-party product. Such Script may be written by Venafi or a Venafi authorized third party technology partner.

Venafi is not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy of any External Service and shall not be liable for any such External Service. Licensee will not use the External Service in any manner that is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and the agreements governing the uses of such External Service, or that infringes the intellectual property rights of Venafi or any third party.

Ownership
1. Ownership of Venafi Materials. Venafi and/or its suppliers or licensors have and shall retain ownership of all right, title and interest in and to the Service and all intellectual property rights embodied in the Service and the Documentation, including without limitation any patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets in and any modifications and/or derivatives thereof, whether or not made at Licensee request, and all know-how, concepts, methods, programming tools, inventions, and computer source code embodied in the Service.
2. Limited Feedback License. Licensee hereby grants to Venafi, at no charge, a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable license under Licensee intellectual property rights in and to suggestions, comments and other forms of feedback (“Feedback”) regarding the Service provided by or on behalf of Licensee to Venafi, including Feedback regarding features, usability and use, and bug reports, to reproduce, perform, display, create derivative works of the Feedback and distribute such Feedback and/or derivative works in the Service.

Support and Service Levels
1. Customer Support. Licensee’s subscription to the Service includes access to the Venafi Customer Support Help Desk and web portal, support.venafi.com. Licensee agrees to submit requests for support pursuant to instructions provided by Venafi in the web portal or by emailing the Help Desk at support@venafi.cloud.

If, excepting emergency and scheduled downtime and circumstances beyond Venafi’s reasonable control, the availability of service falls below 99.9% in a given calendar month of Licensee’s License Term, then Venafi’s sole obligation in relation thereto and Licensee’s sole and exclusive remedy therefor, is that Licensee shall be eligible to request service credits for future subscriptions of the same Service, according to a credit percentage schedule set by Venafi. Licensee must file a support ticket within 30 days setting out the date(s) and time(s) of unavailability and Venafi must validate the unavailability in order to issue such a credit. Credits are not available during any Free Trial Period.
Limited Releases

Licensee understands and agrees that from time-to-time Venafi may offer versions of software licensed as part of the Service on a limited pre-release or “beta” basis (each, a “Beta Service”), marked as such, and, in such cases, the functionality in a full release version of the Service or any interim version of the Service may differ significantly from the Beta Service. Licensee further acknowledges and agrees that a full release version of a Beta Service may never be completed or provided to Licensee. The collection, use and treatment of Licensee Data pursuant to a Beta Service may vary significantly in future versions of the Service. Without limiting the general disclaimer of warranty in Section 6 below, VENAFI EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, THAT ANY BETA SERVICES AS PROVIDED TO LICENSEE, OR AS MAY BE PROVIDED TO LICENSEE IN THE FUTURE, ARE COMPLETE, VERIFIED, TESTED OR WITHOUT BUGS OR ERRORS, OR FIT FOR ANY PURPOSE, WHETHER OR NOT LICENSEE IS WITHIN THE FREE TRIAL PERIOD. THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED AT ALL RELEVANT TIMES AS IS, INCLUDING ALL OF ITS FAULTS, AS AVAILABLE WITH RESPECT TO ANY BETA SERVICES AND RELATED DOCUMENTION PROVIDED TO LICENSEE. Venafi may modify a Beta Service for any reason or without any specific reason, at any time and at its entire discretion, in particular for technical reasons such as updates, maintenance operations and/or resets to improve and/or optimize the Service. Without limiting the general limitation of liability in Section 6 below, Venafi may terminate a Beta Service at any time and for any reason, including for the business convenience of Venafi. In the event of Venafi’s termination for convenience, Venafi shall refund to Licensee a pro-rated portion of the license fee paid to Venafi by Licensee for such Beta Service, if any, under each applicable Order Form.
Limitation of Liability; Disclaimer of Warranty
1. Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT WILL VENAFI OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST REVENUE, PROFIT, OR DATA, OR FOR DIRECT, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES HOWEVER CAUSED AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE EVEN IF VENAFI OR ITS SUPPLIERS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. A PARTY'S LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY SINGLE INCIDENT ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY LICENSEE FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE INCIDENT, PROVIDED THAT IN NO EVENT WILL A PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE AGREEMENT (REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUAL INCIDENTS GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY) EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY LICENSEE FOR THE SERVICE UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY. HOWEVER, THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS WILL NOT LIMIT LICENSEE PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS FOR SERVICE FEES OR LICENSEE LIABILITY UNDER SECTION 7 (INDEMNIFICATION). Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages and to the extent that is the case the above limitation or exclusion shall apply to the maximum extent allowable in such jurisdiction.
2. Disclaimer of Warranty. THE SERVICE AND DOCUMENTATION ARE PROVIDED “AS-IS,” WITH “ALL FAULTS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR NONINFRINGEMENT WHETHER ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, TRADE PRACTICE OR ANY OTHER MANNER. VENAFI IS NOT OBLIGATED TO PROVIDE ANY UPDATES, UPGRADES OR TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR THE SERVICE. VENAFI DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS FOR ANY HARM OR DAMAGES CAUSED BY ANY THIRD-PARTY HOSTING PROVIDERS. In no event does Venafi warrant that the Service is error free or that Licensee will be able to operate the Service without problems or interruptions. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties and to the extent that is the case the above exclusion shall apply to the maximum extent allowable in such jurisdiction.
3. Prior Versions. If any component, plug-in or similar related software, including, without limitation, Licensee operating system(s), used in conjunction with the Service requires updating, including, without limitation, patching or reinstalling, per the instructions of Venafi or the provider of such software, Licensee expressly acknowledges and agrees that Licensee is responsible for making or allowing such updates and in no event will Venafi be liable for any damages under any theory of liability caused by or relating to such failure to update.

Confidentiality
1. Definition. “Confidential Information” as used in this Agreement shall mean any and all information intended by a party to be treated as confidential that either (a) is marked conspicuously as “Confidential” or “Proprietary” or with another similarly restrictive legend; (b) is disclosed orally or is visually identified as confidential at the time of disclosure and designated in a written memorandum as such within 30 days of disclosure; or (c) is, due to its character or nature, information that a reasonable person in a like position and under like circumstances would treat as confidential or proprietary. From time to time, Venafi or Licensee may find it necessary to provide to the other party such Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information of a party shall not include information that the other party can establish by written documentation (a) to have been publicly known prior to disclosure of such information by the disclosing party to the receiving party; (b) to have become publicly known, without the fault of the receiving party, subsequent to disclosure of such information by the disclosing party to the receiving party; (c) to have been received by the receiving party at any time from a source, other than the disclosing party, rightfully having possession of and the right to disclose such information; (d) to have been otherwise known by the receiving party prior to disclosure of such information by the disclosing party to the receiving party; or (e) to have been independently developed by employees or agents on behalf of the receiving party without access to or use of such information disclosed by the disclosing party to the receiving party.
2. Obligations. During the term of this Agreement, and for a period of five (5) years following the expiration or earlier termination hereof, each party shall maintain in confidence all Confidential Information disclosed by the other party and shall not use, grant the use of or disclose to any third party the Confidential Information of the other party other than for the purpose of exercising rights under this Agreement or as expressly permitted hereby. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the parties shall use at least the same degree of care it uses to prevent the disclosure of its own confidential information of like importance, which care shall be no less than reasonable care, to prevent the disclosure of Confidential Information of the other party. Each party shall notify the other promptly upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information.

2. Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.1 above, or anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Venafi and Licensee hereby acknowledge and agree that damages at law may be an inadequate remedy for the breach of any of the covenants, promise and contracts contained in Section 2.4 (Restrictions on Use), Section 3.1 (Ownership of Venafi Materials) and Section 9 (Confidentiality). Accordingly, Venafi and Licensee hereby agree that Venafi and/or Licensee shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief with respect to any such breach without the necessity of proving actual damages, including specific performance of such covenants, promises or contracts or any order enjoining Venafi or Licensee from any threatened, or from the continuation of any actual, breach of covenants, promises or contracts, and may seek provision or enforcement of any such injunctive relief in any competent court having jurisdiction. The rights set forth in this Section 10.2 shall be in addition to any other rights which the parties may have at law or in equity, subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement.
