If you are accepting on behalf of your employer or another entity, you represent and warrant that: (i) you have full legal authority to bind your employer or such entity to these Terms; (ii) you have read and understand these Terms; and (iii) you agree to these Terms on behalf of the party that you represent. If you don’t have the legal authority to bind your employer or the applicable entity please do not click “I agree” (or similar button or checkbox) that is presented to you. PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU SIGN UP FOR A NXLOG PLATFORM PRODUCT USING AN EMAIL ADDRESS FROM YOUR EMPLOYER OR ANOTHER ENTITY, THEN (A) YOU WILL BE DEEMED TO REPRESENT SUCH PARTY, (B) YOUR CLICK TO ACCEPT WILL BIND YOUR EMPLOYER OR THAT ENTITY TO THESE TERMS, AND THE WORD “YOU” IN THESE TERMS WILL REFER TO YOUR EMPLOYER OR THAT ENTITY.

These Terms are effective as of the date you first click “I agree” (or similar button or checkbox) or use or access the Cloud Platform or the On-Premise Platform, whichever is earlier (the “Effective Date”). These Terms do not have to be signed in order to be binding. You indicate your assent to these Terms by clicking “I agree” (or similar button or checkbox) at the time you register for the Cloud Platform or the On-Premise Platform, or create a Cloud Platform account, or place an Order.

1.2.2. Authorized Users and Responsibility for End Users

Only Authorized Users may access and use NXLog Platform. NXlog Platform offers the possibilities to create Authorized Users or to invite user entities to become Authorized Users. You are responsible for creating Authorized Users or for inviting potential users to become Authorized Users and for managing Authorized Users on NXLog Platform. You are responsible for understanding the settings and controls for each NXLog Platform Product you use and for controlling whom you allow to become an End User. You are responsible for compliance with this Agreement by all Authorized Users (no matter if these users are part of your entity of are of a Third Party), including what Authorized Users do with your data, and for all fees incurred by Authorized Users (or their actions taken within NXLog Platform). All use of NXLog Platform must be solely for the benefit of you or your entity and must be within the Scope of Use. Please note that you are responsible for the activities of all your End Users, including Orders they may place and how End Users use Your Data, even if those End Users are not from your organization or domain. We may display our User Notice to End Users at sign up, account creation, NXLog Platform registration, or within our products. If you use single sign-on (SSO - or social authentication / authorization) for identity management of your Cloud Platform such that End Users will bypass these screens and our User Notice, you are responsible for displaying our User Notice to End Users and for any damages resulting from your failure to do so.

1.2.3. Credentials

You must require that all End Users keep their user IDs and passwords for the NXLog Platform strictly confidential and do not share such information with any unauthorized person.

This may include making Orders for Platform Products or purchasing add-on Products or purchasing Product Extensions (which may incur fees); creating, de-provisioning, monitoring or modifying End User Accounts, and setting End User usage permissions; and managing access to Your Data by End Users or others. Administrators or End Users with similar, elevated priviledges may also take over management of accounts previously registered using an email address belonging to your domain. Without limiting Section 2.2 (Responsibility for End Users), which fully applies to Administrators, you are responsible for whom you allow to become Administrators or End Users with similar, elevated priviledges and any actions they take, including as described above.

Furthermore, you are responsible for determining whether any Third Party End User may serve as an Administrator or End Users with similar, elevated priviledges and for any related rights or obligations in your applicable agreement with the Third Party. As between you and NXLog, you are solely responsible for any access by Reseller or any other Third Party to your accounts or your other End User Accounts.

1.3.3. Domain Name Ownership

Where you are required to specify a domain for the operation of any NXLog Platform Product or certain features, we may verify that you own or control that domain.

1.7.9. Purging of Data in Case License Base is Exceeded

There are cases, in which we will purge or not transmit or not store data sent by you or collected from your IT or OT systems due to exceeding the license base purchased by you. We might grant a grace range of license overusage in case you overextend your purchased license scope by collected data from too many nodes or by asking the used components to handle more Events per Second (EPS) at a given time or by storing more data than licensed by you. We cannot be held accountable for such data lost or purged or deleted due to you exceeding the license base in any of our NXLog Platform installations, Cloud or On-Premise, and we have the right to delete or purge or not transmit or not handle or not store your data in such cases. In some cases we might inform you about such data deletion or purging or non-transmission actions via e-mail or warnings displayed in our applications, in other cases we might not be able to do so to avert service failures.

1.8.2. Our Deliverables

We will retain all right, title and interest in and to Our Deliverables. You may use any of Our Deliverables provided to you only in connection with Cloud Platform and On-Premise Platform, subject to the same usage rights and restrictions as for the NXLog Platform.

1.8.3. Training Not Covered

Your purchase, and our provision, of Training is subject to our Training Terms and Policies, which is a separate agreement.

1.9. Billing, renewals, and payment

1.9.1. Subscription Plans

Except for Free-of-Charge Products, all NXLog Platform Products are offered on an annual subscription basis.

1.9.2. Renewals

Except as otherwise specified in your Order, unless either party cancels your subscription prior to expiration of the current Subscription Term, your subscription will automatically renew for another Subscription Term of a period equal to your initial Subscription Term. You will provide any notice of non-renewal through the means we designate, which may include account settings in the Cloud Platform or contacting our sales team. Cancelling your subscription means that you will not be charged for the next billing cycle, but you will not receive any refunds or credits for amounts that have already been charged. All renewals are subject to the applicable NXLog Platform Product continuing to be offered and will be charged at the then-current rates.

1.9.3. Adding License Nodes and Extend Products

You may and are encouraged to add additional license nodes, add Add-Ons or Product Extensions, or increase storage limits, or otherwise increase your use of NXLog Platform by placing a new Order. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Order, we will charge you for any increased use at our then-current rates, prorated for the remainder of the then-current Subscription Term. Some Add-Ons or Extensions might not be available in all Subscription Levels.

1.9.4. Subscription Upgrades

You may upgrade your license at any time from a lower subscription level to a higher subscritption level (e.g. from free-of-charge offering to Basic or from Basic to Premium). In case you are performing an upgrade from any lower subscription level to a higher subscription level (e.g. from Basic to Premium subscription), you will only be charged the difference between the license cost already paid for the current, lower subscription plan to the new, higher subscription plan. When performing a subscription upgrade, the license term (e.g. the end date of your current, yearly license term) will change through the subscription update. A new yearly subsription term will start at the day of your subscription upgrade. The upgrade cost will be calculated considering the license cost of the new (yearly) subscription license term for your upgraded, new subscription plan. But, the remaining license days of your current (old) subscription will be used to calculate a credit amount, based on the amount invoiced for the current (old) subscription, which will be credited to your subscription upgrade invoice. It is not allowed to downgrade from a higher subscription level to a lower subscription level. Changing to a lower subscription level is only possible before a new subscription terms starts and will be valid for that new (future) subscription term only. In case a subscription upgrade reduces the storage space available to store log data, we are allowed to delete data from the log database to accommodate the stored customer data to the new, reduced storage space.

1.9.5. Payment

You will pay all fees in accordance with each Order, by the due dates and in the currency specified in the Order. Depending on your method or payment, different payment terms and fees may apply. Any kind of transaction fees will be coverd by you. In case of bank transfers, the amount credited to our bank accounts needs to be identical to the amount invoiced to you. Transaction fees incurred by your or our bank or any transaction provider inbetween need to be covered by you. If a Purchase Order Number (the "PO number") is required in order for an invoice to be paid, then you must provide such PO number during the order process (online within the order process). For Additional Services provided at any location other than the NXLog office locations, unless otherwise specified in your Order, you will reimburse us for our pre-approved travel, lodging and meal expenses, which we may charge as incurred. Other than as expressly set forth in Section 19.3 (Warranty Remedy), Section 21 (IP Indemnification) or Section 25 (Changes to these Terms), all amounts are non-refundable, non-cancelable and non-creditable. You agree that we may bill your credit card or other payment method for renewals, license enlargements, overages to set limits or scopes of use, expenses, and unpaid fees, as applicable.

1.9.6. Delivery

We will deliver the usage instructions for NXLog Platform to your account or through other reasonable means no later than when we have received payment of the applicable fees. You are responsible for accessing your account to determine that we have received payment and that your Order has been processed. All deliveries under these Terms will be electronic.

1.10. Taxes not included

1.10.1. Taxes

Your fees under these Terms exclude any taxes or duties payable in respect of the NXLog Platform in the jurisdiction where the payment is either made or received. To the extent that any such taxes or duties are payable by us, you must pay to us the amount of such taxes or duties in addition to any fees owed under these Terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you have obtained an exemption from relevant taxes or duties as of the time such taxes or duties are levied or assessed, you may provide us with such exemption information (e.g. an European VAT number), and we either not charge such taxes at the point of purchase or we will use reasonable efforts to provide you with invoicing documents designed to enable you to obtain a refund or credit from the relevant revenue authority, if such a refund or credit is available.

1.10.2. Withholding Taxes

Depending on your purchasing entity and depending on the information you provide while purchasing, you will pay all fees gross (including) or net (excluding) of any applicable withholding taxes. You and we will work together to avoid any withholding tax if exemptions, or a reduced treaty withholding rate, are available. If we qualify for a tax exemption, or a reduced treaty withholding rate, we will provide you with reasonable documentary proof. You will provide us reasonable evidence that you have paid the relevant authority for the sum withheld or deducted.

1.11. If you purchased through a Reseller

If you make any purchases through an authorized partner or reseller of NXLog (“Reseller”):

(a) Instead of paying us, you will pay the applicable amounts to the Reseller, as agreed between you and the Reseller. We may suspend or terminate your rights to use NXLog Platform if we do not receive the corresponding payment from the Reseller.

(b) Your order details (e.g., the NXLog Platform Product(s) you are entitled to use, the number of licensed nodes, the amount of Events per Second (EPS) licesend, the Subscription Term, etc.) will be as stated in the Order placed with us by the Reseller on your behalf, and Reseller is responsible for the accuracy of any such Order as communicated to us.

(c) If you are entitled to a refund under these Terms, then unless we otherwise specify, we will refund any applicable fees to the Reseller and the Reseller will be solely responsible for refunding the appropriate amounts to you.

(d) Resellers are not authorized to modify these Terms or make any promises or commitments on our behalf, and we are not bound by any obligations to you other than as set forth in these Terms.

(e) The amount paid or payable by the Reseller to us for your use of the applicable NXLog Platform Product under these Terms will be deemed the amount actually paid or payable by you to us under these Terms for purposes of calculating the liability cap in Section 20.2.

1.12. No contingencies on other products of future functionality

You acknowledge that the NXLog Platform Products and Additional Services referenced in an Order are being purchased separately from any of our other products or services. Payment obligations for any products or services are not contingent on the purchase or use of any of our other products (and for clarity, any purchases of NXLog Platform Products and Additional Services are separate and not contingent on each other, even if listed on the same Order). You agree that your purchases are not contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features (including future availability of any NXLog Platform Products beyond the current Subscription Term), or dependent on any oral or written public comments we make regarding future functionality or features.

1.13. License Controls, Certifications and Audits

NXLog Platform has implemented automated license compliance controls and it performs automated license compliance checks while being used. At our request, you agree to provide a signed certification that you are using all NXLog Platform Software pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including the Scope of Use. You agree to allow us or our authorized agent, to audit your use of NXLog Platform (including that of your Authorized Users). We will provide you with at least ten (10) days advance notice prior to the audit, and the audit will be conducted during normal business hours. We will bear all out-of-pocket costs that we incur for the audit, unless the audit reveals that you have exceeded the Scope of Use. You will provide reasonable assistance, cooperation, and access to relevant information in the course of any audit at your own cost. If you exceed your Scope of Use, we may invoice you for any past or ongoing excessive use, and you will pay the invoice promptly after receipt. This remedy is without prejudice to any other remedies available to NXLog at law or equity or under this Agreement. To the extent we are obligated to do so, we may share audit results with certain of our third-party licensors or assign the audit rights specified in this Section 13 to such licensors.

1.14. Evaluations, trials, and betas

We may offer certain NXLog Platform Products (e.g. Bundles, Add-ons, Extensions etc.) to you at no charge, including free accounts, trial use and Beta Versions as defined below (collectively, "Free-of-Charge Products”). Your use of Free-of-Charge Products is subject to any additional terms that we specify and is only permitted during the Subscription Term we designate (or, if not designated, until terminated in accordance with these Terms). Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 14, the terms and conditions of these Terms governing NXLog Platform Products, including Section 4.4 (Restrictions), fully apply to Free-of-Charge Products. We may modify or terminate your right to use Free-of-Charge Products at any time and for any reason in our sole discretion, without liability to you. You understand that any pre-release and beta NXLog Platform Products, and any pre-release and beta features within generally available NXLog Platform Products, that we make available (collectively, “Beta Versions”) are still under development, may be inoperable or incomplete and are likely to contain more errors and bugs than generally available NXLog Platform Products. We make no promises that any Beta Versions will ever be made generally available. In some circumstances, we may charge a fee in order to allow you to access Beta Versions, but the Beta Versions will still remain subject to this Section 14. All information regarding the characteristics, features or performance of any Free-of-Charge Products (including Beta Versions) constitutes our Confidential Information. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all obligations or liabilities with respect to Free-of-Charge Products, including any Support, warranty and indemnity obligations. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING ELSE IN THESE TERMS, OUR MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU IN RESPECT OF Free-of-Charge PRODUCTS WILL BE US$50.

1.15. IP Rights in the Cloud Platform and Feedback

Cloud Platform Products are made available on a limited access basis, and no ownership right is conveyed to you, irrespective of the use of terms such as “purchase” or “sale”. We and our licensors have and retain all right, title and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to Our Technology (including the Cloud Platform Products). From time to time, you may choose to submit Feedback to us. We may in connection with any of our products or services freely use, copy, disclose, license, distribute and exploit any Feedback in any manner without any obligation, royalty or restriction based on intellectual property rights or otherwise. No Feedback will be considered your Confidential Information, and nothing in these Terms limits our right to independently use, develop, evaluate, or market products or services, whether incorporating Feedback or otherwise.

1.16. Confidentiality

Except as otherwise set forth in these Terms, each party agrees that all code, inventions, know-how and business, technical and financial information disclosed to such party (“Receiving Party”) by the disclosing party ("Disclosing Party") constitute the confidential property of the Disclosing Party (“Confidential Information”), provided that it is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or should be reasonably known by the Receiving Party to be confidential or proprietary due to the nature of the information disclosed and the circumstances surrounding the disclosure. Any of Our Technology and any performance information relating to the NXLog Platform Products will be deemed our Confidential Information without any marking or further designation. Except as expressly authorized herein, the Receiving Party will (1) hold in confidence and not disclose any Confidential Information to third parties and (2) not use Confidential Information for any purpose other than fulfilling its obligations and exercising its rights under these Terms. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, agents, contractors and other representatives having a legitimate need to know, provided that they are bound to confidentiality obligations no less protective of the Disclosing Party than this Section 16 and that the Receiving Party remains responsible for compliance by them with the terms of this Section 16. The Receiving Party’s confidentiality obligations will not apply to information which the Receiving Party can document: (i) was rightfully in its possession or known to it prior to receipt of the Confidential Information; (ii) is or has become public knowledge through no fault of the Receiving Party; (iii) is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; or (iv) is independently developed by employees of the Receiving Party who had no access to such information. The Receiving Party may also disclose Confidential Information if so required pursuant to a regulation, law or court order (but only to the minimum extent required to comply with such regulation or order and with advance notice to the Disclosing Party). The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the Receiving Party the Disclosing Party will be entitled to appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law.

2. Part 2 - PROVISION OF TECHNICAL SUPPORT SERVICES

2.1. Introduction

If so agreed by the parties in a contract, the customer will be entitled to receive Technical Support Services from Supplier under the terms and provisions as agreed in a Contract. Technical Support Services may be purchased separately from Products or jointly therewith. In a Contract covering Technical Support Services, Supplier will agree to provide Technical Support Services to Customer and Customer will pay the relevant fee for the services. Parties agree that the primary scope of the Technical Support Services is to provide reactive technical support to the Usage of the Products, execute troubleshooting, bugfixes, etc. that directly derive from the Products themselves and are not related to the implementation or the circumstances or environment of the Usage of the Products. The Parties agree that Technical Support Services are remote Incident resolution services. Any Incident resolution that requires action on the Site will not be covered in the Technical Support Services, but Supplier may undertake to perform such services subject to a separate Agreement.

2.2. Provided Services

Customers are able to purchase Technical Support Services by different Support Levels (Support Level 0 to Support Level 4 or SL0 to SL4). A Support Level is described by the availability, Response Times, number of authorized support contacts and number of support hours included. Available support packages are listed on Supplier’s website and are subject to be updated occasionally. Technical Support Services are provided exclusively to the Customer for the benefit of the Customer. Customer cannot transfer, assign or otherwise sell Technical Support Services to third parties unless a separate managed services agreement specifically entitles the Customer to do so.

2.3. Incident Severity Levels

Reported Incidents are categorized by the following severity levels: Critical, High, Low. Incidents reported without a severity level are treated as Low by default. The Incident must be assigned one of the below severity levels by the Customer when reporting the Incident. After assessing the Incident, NXLog will be entitled to reasonably but unilaterally change the severity of the Incident without prior notification, consultation with Customer or without the obligation to provide reasoning. During the incident resolution process, Supplier occasionally might alter the severity of the Incident to reflect the actual severity level.

Severity of the Incident does not imply a quality issue, the Parties agree that this only serves as guidance for NXLog to organize and prioritize the performance of the technical Support Services. Parties agree that an Incident having higher severity will not be guaranteed to be resolved faster, since resolution time depends on the nature of the Incident not its severity.

2.3.1. Critical

An error that completely prohibits the use of the Product, affecting mission-critical applications and/or blocking critical business processes. A temporary workaround is not possible. Critical severity cannot be used in case of SL1 and SL0.

  • Example: losing logs on production systems. NB: ‘NXLog Manager down’ does not qualify as Critical.

2.3.2. High

An error that prohibits the use of one or more of the main functionalities of the Product. Business operations might be affected, but available with a limited functionality. A temporary workaround may be possible and is acceptable.

  • Example: temporary performance drops in log forwarding.

2.3.3. Low

An error that has minimal or no impact on business operations. General user enquiries related to product setup or use.

  • Example: reports of documentation errors, asking for guidance on configuration options, new product feature requests.

2.4. Availability

Availability is the time-frame NXLog is available to perform the Technical Support Services. Availability categories are as follows:

  • 8x5 - Support is available Monday to Friday between 9:00 to 17:00 UTC.

  • 24x7 - Support is available continuously 24 hours a day, including non-standard working days (weekends, holidays).

2.5. Response Times

The Response Time that applies to Incidents with the given severity level is listed below by Support Level (weekdays when support is not available in the relevant package are to be disregarded in relation to the below Response Times):

SL4 (24x7) SL3 (24/7) SL2 (8x5) SL1 (8x5) SL0 (8x5)

Supplier undertakes to use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to any new Incidents and Customer’s updates to open Incidents, within the time-frame described, considering the Customer’s Support Level and the Severity reported. Supplier reserves the right to set lower severity in case the Customer does not respond to requests for updates and further data within the same time-frame.

2.6. Authorized Support Contacts

The maximum number of support contracts that are entitled to open new support Cases and access/update existing ones on behalf of the Customer are listed below by Support Level.

On Customer’s request, Supplier may grant access to further personnel specified by the Customer, provided they successfully completed a technical support training held by Supplier as part of the Professional Services offerings.

2.7. Support Hours included in Support Levels

Besides the main scope of troubleshooting and problem resolution, Technical Support Services include a limited number of hours that Customer can use to ask Product related questions and guidance on Product usage from Supplier.

Supplier maintains a log of hours worked on such non-error related enquiries and reports it via the Support Ticketing System or on request from Customer. The minimum time spent on a non-error enquiry is 30 minutes. In case the total amount spent on such enquiries exceeds the number of support hours included in the Customer’s Support Level for the support period, Customer will need to extend the Support Level or buy another package of Technical Support Services or buy Professional Services in order to be able to raise further non-error related enquiries for the remainder of the support period. In general, support for new implementation projects is out of scope for Technical Support and covered by Professional Services.

2.8. Support Ticketing System

Supplier will provide remote support for the Product over its Support Ticketing System. Customer is required to open incidents by opening a Case in the Support Ticketing System. Customer agrees and acknowledges that Supplier will only be obliged to accept and manage reported Incidents if received via the Support Ticketing System.

When entering into a Contract for technical Support Services, a customer account is created in the Support Ticketing System. Customer undertakes to register the contact personnel who are entitled to use the system on behalf of Customer. The Support Ticketing System is available only for registered users. Users and access rights to the customer Support Tickets are set when the relevant Contract is concluded by the Parties.

2.9. Incident Resolution and Response

Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to send a response within the Response Time and shall notify Customer that the logged Incident is in the initial stage of review. Failing to do so however will not be deemed a breach of the Agreement. In order for an Incident to be properly investigated by Supplier, Customer will make reasonable efforts to provide all necessary information (log files, data samples, debug logs, configuration files, core dumps, packet traces, etc.) in a timely manner that will allow a joint technical support effort to be able to diagnose and reproduce the Incident. Customer will make all reasonable efforts to support and cooperate with Supplier in resolving the problem remotely, for example, starting and executing self-tests or diagnostic programs, providing all necessary information, or performing basic remedial activities upon Supplier’s request. Customer is responsible for the security of its proprietary and confidential information and for maintaining a procedure external to the Product(s) for reconstruction of lost, or altered files, data, or programs. Supplier will send the support response with the problem resolution or answer regarding the reported Incident to Customer via the Support Ticketing System as soon as possible at its best effort.

2.10. Professional Services

Parties may agree in the provision of Professional Services by Supplier to the Customer in a Contract. Professional Services, among others, may cover support for system architecture design, consultancy and or training related to use of Supplier’s Products, and/or installation, implementation, configuration, upgrade etc. of Supplier’s Products in Customer’s environment.

Supplier provides the Professional Services in an agreed time-frame or on an hourly fee basis if it is more appropriate for the type of Professional Services ordered by Customer decided by the Parties in the Contract. Parties will define the timeline, hours to be spent on the provision of the Professional Services, means of provision of the Professional Services and other factors significant to the type of Professional Services.

Professional Services are provided exclusively to the Customer for the benefit of the Customer. Customer cannot transfer, assign or otherwise sell Professional Services to third parties or to its End Users only if Customer is a Special Entity and there is written agreement and authorization to resell Professional Services to its clients.
