SaaS Agreement

This SaaS agreement, including its schedules attached or referred hereto (collectively the “Agreement“) constitute binding terms by and between Astrix Security Inc. (the “Company“) and the entity executing the corresponding Order Form (the “Customer“) (each, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”). By signing the applicable Order Form (as defined below), Customer acknowledges these terms and represents that it has fully read and understood, and agrees to be bound by this Agreement (the date of such occurrence being the “Effective Date“). Customer may use the Service (as defined below) subject to the terms below.

If Customer has purchased the license granted hereunder from a partner, reseller or distributor authorized by Company (“Partner“), to the extent there is any conflict between this Agreement and the agreement entered between Customer and the respective Partner, including any purchase order (“Partner Order Form“), then, as between Customer and Company, this Agreement shall prevail. Any rights granted to Customer in such Partner Order Form which are not contained in this Agreement, apply only in connection with such Partner. In that case, Customer must seek redress or realization or enforcement of such rights solely with such Partner and not Company.

    1. “Feature” means any module, tool, functionality, or feature of the Service.
    2. “Order Form” means a written or electronic order form, to which this Agreement is attached or incorporated, and which is executed by the Parties. The “Order Form” shall include the relevant usage and volume parameters, as well as the commercial terms, agreed between the Parties.   
    3. “Subscription Scope” means any Service usage and/or limitations set forth in the Order Form.

Unless otherwise indicated, the term “Subscription” also includes any appliance and any manual or documentation (“Documentation“) provided or made available to Customer in connection with the operation of the Service.

Customer shall be responsible and liable for all activities that occur under or in the Account. Customer will require that all Users keep user ID and password information strictly confidential and not share such information with any unauthorized person.

If a purchase order (or purchase order number) is required by Customer in order for an invoice to be paid, then Customer shall promptly provide such purchase order (or number) to Company. Any terms or conditions (whether printed, hyperlinked, or otherwise) in a purchase order or related correspondence, which purport to modify or supplement this Agreement (or the corresponding Order Form), shall be void and of no effect.
    6. If Customer purchased the Subscription via a Partner, the Subscription is subject to the full payment of the applicable fees as set forth in the Partner Order Form between Customer and the respective Partner.

Customer hereby irrevocably and unconditionally transfers and assigns to Company all intellectual property rights it has in such Feedback and waives any and all moral rights that Customer may have in respect thereto. It is further understood that use of Feedback, if any, may be made by Company at its sole discretion, and that Company in no way shall be obliged to make use of the Feedback.
    3. Any anonymous information, which is derived from the use of the Services (i.e., metadata, aggregated and/or analytics information and/or intelligence relating to the operation, support, and/or Customer’s use, of the Service) which is not personally identifiable information and which does not identify Customer (“Analytics Information“) may be used for providing the Service, for development, and/or for statistical purposes. Such Analytics Information is Company’s exclusive property.
    4. While using the Services, certain data, such as personal data or other data, will be made available and/or accessible to Company or the Services (the “Customer Data“). Customer hereby grants Company and its affiliates a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-assignable (except as provided herein), non-sublicensable (except to Company’s subcontractors, if applicable), non-transferable right and license,  to access and use the Customer Data, including without limitation for Company’s provision of the Services and related services hereunder. As the exclusive owner of the Customer Data, Customer represents, warrants and covenants that to the extent the Customer Data includes any personally identifiable information, Customer has received and/or obtained any and all required consents or permits and has acted in compliance with any and all applicable privacy laws, including, without limitation privacy laws, as to allow us to receive, transfer and use the Customer Data solely in order to perform the Service.

Each Party shall take reasonable measures, at least as protective as those taken to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable care, to protect the other Party’s Confidential Information from disclosure to a third party.

The receiving party will be allowed to disclose Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is required by law or by the order of a court or similar judicial or administrative body, provided that it promptly notifies the disclosing Party in writing of such required disclosure to enable disclosing party to seek a protective order or otherwise prevent or restrict such disclosure and cooperates reasonably with disclosing party in connection therewith. All right, title and interest in and to Confidential Information is and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of the disclosing Party.

Without derogating from and subject to the abovementioned, this Agreement will bind and benefit each Party and its respective successors and assigns. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of  New York, without reference to principles and laws relating to the conflict of laws.
