These Terms and Conditions, together with all Order Forms (as defined below), constitute this “Agreement”. If you are accepting these Terms and Conditions or an Order Form on behalf of your employer or another entity (which will be deemed to the case if you sign up for a MonkOS Product (as defined below) using an email address from your employer or such entity), then the “Customer” under this Agreement will be such employer or other entity, and you represent and warrant that (a) you have read and understand this Agreement, (b) you have full legal authority to bind your employer or such entity to this Agreement and (c) you agree to this Agreement on behalf of your employer or such entity.
Subject to this Agreement, MonkOS will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the MonkOS Product available to Customer pursuant to this Agreement and the applicable Order Form, and hereby grants Customer a non-exclusive right to access and use the MonkOS Product (including a non-sublicensable license to install and use the Client-Side Software) for its internal business purposes to manage Customer Applications in accordance with the Documentation. Customer may permit Users to use the MonkOS Product on its behalf. Customer is responsible for provisioning and managing its User accounts, its Users’ actions through the MonkOS Product and their compliance with this Agreement.
Customer acknowledges that MonkOS’ provision of the MonkOS Product is dependent on Customer providing all reasonably required cooperation, and Customer will provide all such cooperation in a diligent and timely manner. Customer will (a) prevent unauthorized access to or use of the MonkOS Product and notify MonkOS promptly of any such unauthorized access or use or any other known or suspected breach of security or misuse of the MonkOS Product and (b) be responsible for obtaining and maintaining any equipment, software and ancillary services needed to connect to, access or otherwise use the MonkOS Product, including as set forth in the Documentation. Customer will be solely responsible for its failure to maintain such equipment, software and services, and MonkOS will have no liability for such failure.
Certain “free” or “open source” based software (“FOSS Software”) may be shipped with the Client Software but is not considered part of the Client Software hereunder. Customer’s right to use the FOSS Software is governed by the applicable open source license, and not this Agreement.
Except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Order Form, Customer will pay MonkOS the subscription fees, additional usage fees and other fees set forth in MonkOS’ standard schedule of fees, as may be updated from time to time. If Customer is required to select a payment plan and provide information regarding Customer’s credit card or other payment instrument, then (a) Customer represents and warrants that such information is true and that Customer is authorized to use the payment instrument, and (b) Customer will promptly update its account information with MonkOS with any changes (e.g., a change in billing address or credit card expiration date). Customer acknowledges that its subscription automatically renews (as described below) and hereby authorizes MonkOS to bill Customer’s payment instrument in advance in accordance with the terms of the applicable payment plan. MonkOS reserves the right to change its prices, and if MonkOS does change prices, MonkOS will provide notice of the change through the MonkOS Product user interface, a pop-up notice, email, or through other reasonable means, at MonkOS’ option, at least thirty (30) days before the change is to take effect. Any changed pricing will become effective at the time of renewal of Customer’s subscription. If any fees are invoiced to Customer, Customer will pay those amounts within thirty (30) days of the date of receipt of the applicable invoice, unless a specific date for payment is set forth in such Order Form, in which case payment will be due on the date specified. Except as otherwise specified herein or in the applicable Order Form, payment obligations are non-cancelable and non-pro-ratable for partial months, and fees paid are non-refundable. If Customer disputes an invoice in good faith, it will notify MonkOS within thirty (30) days and the parties will seek to resolve the dispute as soon as reasonably practicable.
MonkOS may suspend access to the MonkOS Product immediately upon notice if Customer fails to pay any amounts hereunder at least five (5) days past the applicable due date. If MonkOS has not received payment within five (5) days after the applicable due date, interest will accrue on past due amounts at the rate of one percent (1%) per month, but in no event greater than the highest rate of interest allowed by law, calculated from the date such amount was due until the date that payment is received by MonkOS.
All amounts payable hereunder are exclusive of any sales, use and other taxes or duties, however designated (collectively “Taxes”). Customer will be solely responsible for payment of all Taxes, except for those taxes based on the income of MonkOS. Customer will not withhold any taxes from any amounts due to MonkOS.
As between the parties, MonkOS exclusively owns all right, title and interest in and to the MonkOS Product, System Data and MonkOS’ Confidential Information, and Customer exclusively owns all right, title and interest in and to the Customer Materials, Customer Applications and Customer’s Confidential Information. “System Data” means data collected by MonkOS regarding the MonkOS Product that may be used to generate logs, statistics or reports regarding the performance, availability, usage, integrity or security of the MonkOS Product.
Customer may from time to time provide MonkOS suggestions or comments for enhancements or improvements, new features or functionality or other feedback (“Feedback”) with respect to the MonkOS Product. MonkOS will have full discretion to determine whether or not to proceed with the development of any requested enhancements, new features or functionality. MonkOS will have the full, unencumbered right, without any obligation to compensate or reimburse Customer, to use, incorporate and otherwise fully exercise and exploit any such Feedback in connection with its products and services.
Customer further agrees that, notwithstanding anything herein, MonkOS has the right to aggregate, collect, retain and analyze Customer Materials, Configurations and other data and information resulting from use of the MonkOS Product and MonkOS will be free (during and after the term hereof) to (i) use such data and information to improve MonkOS’ products and services, and (ii) disclose such data and other information solely in an aggregated or anonymized format that does not identify Customer or any individual.
Each party agrees that it will use the Confidential Information of the other party solely in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and it will not disclose the same to any third party without the other party’s prior written consent, except as otherwise permitted hereunder. However, either party may disclose Confidential Information (a) to its employees and other representatives who have a need to know and are legally bound to keep such information confidential by confidentiality obligations consistent with those of this Agreement; and (b) as required by law (in which case the receiving party will provide the disclosing party with prior written notification thereof, will provide the disclosing party with the opportunity to contest such disclosure, and will use its reasonable efforts to minimize such disclosure to the extent permitted by applicable law). Each party agrees to exercise due care in protecting such Confidential Information from unauthorized use and disclosure.
Customer will not directly or indirectly: (a) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify, create derivative works of or otherwise create, attempt to create or derive, or permit or assist any third party to create or derive, the source code underlying the MonkOS Product; (b) attempt to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of the MonkOS Product, breach the security or authentication measures of the MonkOS Product without proper authorization or wilfully render any part of the MonkOS Product unusable; (c) use or access the MonkOS Product to develop a product or service that is competitive with MonkOS’ products or services or engage in competitive analysis or benchmarking; (d) transfer, distribute, resell, lease, license, or assign the MonkOS Product or otherwise offer the MonkOS Product on a standalone basis, use the Client Software in an application service provider or managed service provider environment, or copy the Client Software onto any public or distributed network (e) or to build managed service using MonkOS products f) use the MonkOS Product to process any personal data; or (f) otherwise use the MonkOS Product in violation of applicable law (including any export law) or outside the scope expressly permitted hereunder and in the applicable Order Form.
