Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer grants Rapid7 a license to anonymize, de-personalize, or aggregate Customer Content to determine usage trends, perform analytics, and improve the Offerings, including the training of internal Rapid7 models. For avoidance of doubt, Rapid7 will not use Customer Content for model training, except in de-identified and aggregated forms, and will not attempt to re-identify any de-identified data.

3. FEES; PAYMENT TERMS

3.1. Payment via Rapid7 Authorized Partner.

3.2. Direct Payment by Customer. Customer agrees to pay the fees, charges and other amounts in accordance with the applicable Ordering Document. Rapid7 will invoice Customer upon execution of an Ordering Document or the reference to an Ordering Document in Customer’s purchase order, unless otherwise agreed by the parties. All fees are exclusive of any taxes levied on any transaction under this Agreement, including, without limitation, sales, use, excise, value added, digital service taxes, withholding taxes, customs duties and tariffs imposed by any jurisdiction or governmental authority (“Taxes”). Payments made by Customer to Rapid7 under this Agreement shall be made without reduction for any such Taxes. If Rapid7 is legally obligated to remit Taxes to a jurisdiction or governmental authority in relation to a specific Ordering Document, Rapid7 will identify such Taxes as separate items on Customer’s invoice where required, unless Rapid7 receives from Customer a valid tax-exempt certificate. Customer is responsible for providing any applicable tax-exempt certificates. 

3.3. Fees and Travel Expenses. All fees are non-refundable and non-cancellable unless otherwise stated herein or in the applicable Ordering Document. In the event an Ordering Document requires travel by Rapid7 to a Customer designated site, Customer shall also reimburse Rapid7 for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Rapid7 in connection with delivery of the Offering.

4. CONFIDENTIALITY, PRIVACY, AND SECURITY

4.1. Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means information provided by one party to the other party which is designated in writing as confidential or proprietary, as well as information which a reasonable person familiar with the disclosing party’s business and the industry in which it operates would know is of a confidential or proprietary nature. A party will not disclose the other party’s Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written consent of the other party, nor make use of any of the other party’s Confidential Information except in its performance under this Agreement. Each party accepts responsibility for the actions of its agents or employees and shall protect the other party’s Confidential Information in the same manner as it protects its own Confidential Information, but in no event with less than reasonable care. The parties expressly agree that the terms and pricing of this Agreement are Confidential Information. A receiving party shall promptly notify the disclosing party upon becoming aware of a breach or threatened breach hereunder and shall cooperate with any reasonable request of the disclosing party in enforcing its rights.

4.2. Exclusions. Information will not be deemed Confidential Information if such information: (i) is known prior to receipt from the disclosing party, without any obligation of confidentiality; (ii) becomes known to the receiving party directly or indirectly from a source other than one having an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party; (iii) becomes publicly known or otherwise publicly available, except through a breach of this Agreement; or (iv) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information. The receiving party may disclose Confidential Information pursuant to the requirements of applicable law, legal process, or government regulation, provided that, unless prohibited from doing so by law enforcement or court order, the receiving party gives the disclosing party reasonable prior written notice, and such disclosure is otherwise limited to the required disclosure.

4.3. Data Processing Addendum. To the extent that Rapid7 processes personal data about any individual in the course of providing the Offering, Customer agrees to Rapid7’s Data Processing Agreement, located at https://www.rapid7.com/legal/dpa/ (“DPA”). 

4.4. Data Security. Rapid7 shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Customer Content from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, or alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Customer Content. Such measures may include, as appropriate (a) the encryption of Customer Content; (b) the ability to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of systems and services; and (c) a process for regularly testing, assessing, and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures for ensuring the security of Customer Content.

5. WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS

EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE SCHEDULE A: SERVICES AND SCHEDULE B: SOFTWARE, RAPID7 MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. RAPID7 MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT THE USE OF THE OFFERING(S) WILL BE SUCCESSFUL, THAT THE RAPID7 DATA WILL MEET CUSTOMER’S REQUIREMENTS OR THAT REMEDIATIONS WILL BE COMPLETED WITHIN A CERTAIN TIMEFRAME, NOR DOES IT MAKE ANY WARRANTY THAT ALL SECURITY RISKS, INCIDENTS, OR THREATS WILL BE DETECTED OR REMEDIATED BY USE OF THE OFFERING(S) OR THAT THERE WILL NOT BE FALSE POSITIVES. 

6. INDEMNIFICATION

6.1. By Rapid7. Rapid7 will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Customer from and against all costs, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of a third-party claim alleging that the Offering infringes or misappropriates any intellectual property rights of such third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Rapid7 have any obligations or liability under this Section arising from: (i) use of any Offering in combination with materials not furnished by Rapid7, and (ii) any Customer Content, information, or data provided by Customer or other third parties. If the Offering is or is likely to become subject to a claim of infringement or misappropriation, then Rapid7 will, at its sole option and expense, either: (i) obtain for the Customer the right to continue using the Offering; (ii) replace or modify the Offering to be non-infringing and substantially equivalent to the infringing Offering; or (iii) if options (i) and (ii) above cannot be accomplished despite the reasonable efforts of Rapid7, then Rapid7 may terminate Customer’s rights to use the infringing Offering and will refund pro-rata any prepaid fees for the infringing portion of the Offering. THE RIGHTS GRANTED TO CUSTOMER UNDER THIS SECTION SHALL BE CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY ALLEGED INFRINGEMENT BY THE OFFERING OF ANY PATENT, COPYRIGHT, OR OTHER PROPRIETARY RIGHT.

6.2. By Customer. Customer will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Rapid7 from and against all Losses arising out of a third-party claim regarding: (i) Customer’s violation of any representations and warranties made in Section 2.2 of this Agreement; (ii) Customer’s fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.

6.3. Procedure. Each party will promptly notify the other party in writing of any claim for which such party believes it is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Section. The party seeking indemnification (the "Indemnitee") shall cooperate with the other party (the "Indemnitor") at the Indemnitor's sole cost and expense. The Indemnitor shall promptly assume control of the defense and shall employ counsel to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnitor's sole cost and expense. The Indemnitee shall not at any time admit liability or otherwise settle or compromise or attempt to settle or compromise the said claim or action except upon the express instructions of the Indemnitor.  The Indemnitee may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense with counsel of its own choosing. Neither party may settle a claim that results in liability or admission of liability by the Indemnitee without the Indemnitee’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnitee's failure to perform any obligations under this Section will not relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligations, except to the extent that the Indemnitor can demonstrate that it has been materially prejudiced because of such failure.

7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

7.1. Exclusion of Certain Damages. NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR LOST REVENUES OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, EVEN IF THE PARTY KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT SUCH DAMAGES WERE POSSIBLE.

7.2. Limitation on Amount of Liability. NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR MORE THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID OR PAYABLE BY CUSTOMER FOR THE RELEVANT OFFERING DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY, EXCEPT THAT THE LIMITATION IN THIS SECTION 7.2 SHALL NOT APPLY TO: (I) VIOLATIONS OF A PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS BY THE OTHER PARTY; OR (II) A PARTY’S EXPRESS INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

8. TERM AND TERMINATION

8.1. Term. The Term of each Offering will be as set forth on the Ordering Document. The Term will automatically renew for the same period of time as the initial Term at the rate listed on the applicable Ordering Document unless (i) otherwise indicated on the Ordering Document or (ii) either party provides the other with written notice of its election not to renew at least 30 days prior to the end of the applicable Term. Any renewal will be invoiced at the rate indicated on the applicable Ordering Document. In connection with any renewal term, Rapid7 reserves the right to change the rates, applicable charges and usage policies and to introduce new charges for any subsequent Term, upon providing Customer written notice thereof (which may be provided by e-mail) at least 60 days prior to the end of the applicable Term. 

8.2. Termination. Either party may terminate this Agreement or any Ordering Document (i) in the event of a material breach of this Agreement or any such Ordering Document by the other party that is not cured within thirty days of written notice thereof from the other party, (ii) immediately in the event of an incurable, material breach, or (iii) immediately if the other party ceases doing business, or is the subject of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding that is not dismissed within sixty days of filing. All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature are intended to survive the termination of this Agreement shall survive such termination.

8.3. Effect of Termination. Upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement or any applicable Ordering Document, Rapid7 shall no longer provide the applicable Offering to Customer and Customer must cease using the Offering and send no further Customer Content to Rapid7. Customer acknowledges that by entering into a fixed term on an Ordering Document it has received preferable pricing and that Rapid7 has made related investments in reliance on the committed term. Early termination would cause Rapid7 financial loss. Accordingly, if Customer terminates or attempts to terminate the Agreement before the fixed term ends, Customer will not receive a refund of fees already paid and will remain liable for all fees due for the full term. Customer agrees that following termination of Customer’s account and/or use of the Offering, Rapid7 may immediately deactivate Customer’s account, and, following a period of not less than thirty (30) days, Rapid7 shall be entitled to delete Customer’s account and all Customer Content.

9. GENERAL PROVISIONS

9.1. Miscellaneous. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed for all purposes by the laws of the State of Delaware (for customers located in North America), or England & Wales (for customers located outside of North America), each excluding its respective choice of law provisions, and each party consents and submits to the jurisdiction and forum of the state and federal courts in the State of Delaware (for customers located in North America) or London, England (for customers located outside of North America) all questions and controversies arising out of this Agreement and waives all objections to venue and personal jurisdiction in these forums for such disputes; (b) this Agreement, along with the accompanying Schedules, Addenda, and Ordering Document(s), constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral; (c) this Agreement and each Ordering Document may not be modified except by a writing signed by each of the parties; (d) in case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement but rather this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or other unenforceable provision had never been contained herein; (e) Customer shall not assign its rights or obligations hereunder without Rapid7's advance written consent; (f) subject to the foregoing subsection (e), this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns; (g) no waiver of any right or remedy hereunder with respect to any occurrence or event on one occasion shall be deemed a waiver of such right or remedy with respect to such occurrence or event on any other occasion; (h) nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, including but not limited to any of Customer’s own clients, customers, or employees; (i) the headings to the sections of this Agreement are for ease of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation or construction of this Agreement; (j) terms in an Ordering Document have precedence over conflicting terms in this Agreement or Schedules, but have applicability only to that particular Ordering Document; (k) the terms in a Schedule have precedence over conflicting terms in this Agreement, but have applicability only to that particular Schedule; and (l) this Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

9.2. Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, both parties acknowledge that any breach of this Agreement may cause the other party irreparable and immediate damage for which remedies other than injunctive relief may be inadequate. Therefore, the parties agree that, in addition to any other remedy to which a party may be entitled hereunder, at law or equity, each party shall be entitled to seek an injunction to restrain such use in addition to other appropriate remedies available under applicable law.

9.3. Relationship of the Parties. Rapid7 and Customer are independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as making them partners or creating the relationships of principal and agent between them, for any purpose whatsoever. Neither party shall make any contracts, warranties, or representations or assume or create any obligations, express or implied, in the other party’s name or on its behalf.

9.4. US Government Restricted Rights. This section applies to all acquisitions of the Offering by or for the U.S. Federal Government, or by any prime contractor or subcontractor (at any tier) under any contract, grant, cooperative agreement, or other activity with the Federal Government for the Government’s end use. The Offerings are “commercial items” as that term is defined at FAR 2.101. If Customer is an Executive Agency (as defined in FAR 2.101) of the U.S. Federal Government (“Government”), Rapid7 provides the Offering, including any related technical data and/or professional services in accordance with the following: If a right to access the Offering is procured by or on behalf of any Executive Agency (other than an Executive Agency within the Department of Defense (DoD)), the Government is granted, in accordance with FAR 12.211 (Technical Data) and FAR 12.212 (Computer Software), only those rights in technical data and software customarily provided to Rapid7’s customers as such rights are described in this Agreement.

In addition, DFARS 252.227-7015 (Technical Data – Commercial Items) applies to technical data provided by Rapid7 to an Executive Agency within the DoD. Note, however, that Subpart 227.72 does not apply to computer software or computer Offering documentation acquired under GSA schedule contracts. Except as expressly permitted under this Agreement, no other rights or licenses are granted to the Government. Any rights requested by the Government and not granted under this Agreement must be separately agreed in writing with Rapid7. This Section is in lieu of, and supersedes, any other FAR, DFARS, or other clause, provision, or supplemental regulation that addresses Government rights in the Offering.

9.5. Force Majeure. Other than payment obligations hereunder, neither party will be liable for any inadequate performance to the extent caused by a condition that was beyond the party's reasonable control (including, but not limited to, natural disaster, act of war or terrorism, riot, global health crisis, acts of God, or government intervention), except for mere economic hardship, so long as the party continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance.

Each party agrees to comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations including but not limited to export law, and those governing the use of network scanners, vulnerability assessment software products, encryption devices, user monitoring, and related software in all jurisdictions in which systems are scanned, scanning is controlled, or users are monitored.

Rapid7 and Customer have caused these Rapid7 Terms and Conditions to be executed by their duly authorized representatives as of the Effective Date.
