Cloud Services Agreement

This Splice Machine Cloud Services Agreement, together with Customer’s selections made during the registration process (“the “Agreement”), governs Customer’s use of Splice Machine’s Cloud Service(s). The Agreement is between Splice Machine, Inc., a Delaware corporation with offices located at 44 Tehama Street, San Francisco, CA 94105 (“Splice Machine” or “we” or “us”) and you, the customer accepting this Agreement (“Customer” or “you”), and is effective on the date that Customer first indicates its acceptance of this Agreement (the “Effective Date”).

By clicking to accept this Agreement, you are agreeing to be bound by it; if you are an individual acting on behalf of an entity or organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind it as Customer and enter into this Agreement on Customer’s behalf. If you do not have that authority, or if Customer does not agree with this Agreement, then neither you nor Customer should click to accept and Splice Machine does not authorize you or Customer to access or use our Service.

Customer’s ordering selections are part of and incorporated by reference into this Agreement; by accessing or using the Service, Customer agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and its Service selections.

Customer hereby grants Splice Machine a worldwide, nonexclusive, royalty-free, fully paid up license during the Term to access, copy, display, transmit, and otherwise use, including through subcontractors, the Data to develop and provide the Service to Customer. As between the parties, Customer is and will be solely responsible for all Data, including its accuracy, content, and legality, and will ensure compliance at all times with any and all applicable laws, rules, regulations relating to its use of Data on the Service. Customer represents and warrants that: it has sufficient rights in its Data to grant the license granted herein and to use and permit the use of its Data in connection with the Service under this Agreement; that the Data does not infringe any personal, privacy, or intellectual property right of any third party; and that the Data will not include any matter that is obscene, illegal, or otherwise of a nature that may expose Splice Machine to liability. Customer will maintain an adequate back-up of all Data; Splice Machine bears no risk of loss of Data. Splice Machine is under no obligation to review any Data for accuracy or potential liability. Customer represents and warrants that it has all necessary right, title, interest and consent necessary to allow Splice Machine to use its Data for the purposes permitted under this Agreement.

4. Access to the Service. Once authorized, Customer may access the Service through management and database-specific accounts (each, an “Account”). Splice Machine will enable Customer to use or create a user ID and password (collectively, “Credentials”) applicable to each Account. Credentials are personal in nature and may be used only by designated employees within Customer’s organization or contractors who are contractually required to comply with the terms of this Agreement (such individual, as applicable, the “User” of the Account). Customer is solely responsible for all use of the Service by each User and for compliance by each User with the applicable terms of this Agreement. Customer will ensure the security and confidentiality of all Credentials and will notify Splice Machine immediately if any Credentials are lost, stolen or otherwise compromised. As between the parties, Customer is responsible for all costs, fees, liabilities or damages incurred through use of Credentials (whether lawful or unlawful) and that any Service ordered or transactions completed through any Account or under any Credentials will be deemed to have been lawfully completed by Customer. In no event will Splice Machine be liable for the foregoing obligations or Customer’s failure to fulfill such obligations. Customer is solely responsible, at its own expense, for acquiring, installing and maintaining all hardware, software and other equipment as may be necessary for it and its Users to connect to, access, and use the Service.

5. Intellectual Property. As between the parties: (a) Splice Machine owns all right, title, and interest in and to the Service, including all improvements, derivatives, and enhancements thereto, and all related intellectual property rights thereto and therein; and (b) Customer owns all right, title, and interest in and to all Data. For avoidance of doubt, as between the parties, Customer owns and shall own all Output generated from its Data through the Service. No implied rights or licenses are conveyed by this Agreement; all rights are specific to the parties and do not extend to their parents, subsidiaries or affiliates, and all rights in and to the Service not expressly granted to Customer in this Agreement are reserved by Splice Machine and its suppliers. Splice Machine may collect and use data relating to the Service and its performance freely, so long as Customer is not identifiable as the source of such data.

6. Publicity. So long as Customer’s paid subscription is active, Splice Machine may identify Customer as a customer of the Service and may display Customer’s name and logo on Splice Machine’s website and other marketing materials; Splice Machine agrees to make good faith efforts to comply with any trademark usage requirements provided by Customer in connection with such use. Customer will reasonably cooperate with Splice Machine in the creation and issuance of a press release and case study regarding Customer’s use of the Service. Issuance of the press release and case study will be subject to Customer’s prior written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or denied.

7. Support. During the paid subscription term, Splice Machine will provide Customer with support for the Service (“Support”); support is provided at the Standard level unless Customer opts to upgrade to Business Support.

8. Fees. During a paid subscription Term, Customer will pay Splice Machine all fees applicable based on its selections (typically a base monthly fee with variable additional charges) and any fees otherwise agreed between the parties (collectively, “Subscription Fees”). Subscription Fees are payable monthly in advance on the 1st of the month, pro-rated for any partial months (e.g., for service changes). Customer authorizes Splice Machine to charge Subscription Fees in accordance with the payment mechanism(s) selected by Customer; in specific, (a) if Customer selected payment by ACH, Customer authorizes Splice Machine to electronically debit Customer’s account and, if necessary, electronically credit Customer’s account to correct erroneous debits; and (b) if Customer selected payment by credit card, Customer grants Splice Machine the right to charge the credit card and if necessary to credit it to correct erroneous debits; in each case for all Subscription Fees incurred under this Agreement. All amounts are invoiced, and must be paid, in U.S. dollars. Until paid in full, all past due amounts will bear an additional charge of the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount permitted under applicable law. If Splice Machine requires use of collection agencies, attorneys, or courts of law for collection on Customer’s account, Customer will be responsible for those expenses. Except for the limited exceptions expressly specified in this Agreement, all fees are nonrefundable once paid. If Customer reduces its service levels, Splice Machine will provide Customer with a credit equal to the difference between any prior prepaid Subscription Fee and the new, lower Subscription Fee based on the lower service level; for avoidance of doubt, such credits are applicable against future Subscription Fees only and not redeemable for cash. Fees exclude any applicable sales, use, value-added, property, and other taxes, including duties and similar mandatory payments; as between the parties, Customer is solely responsible for payment of any such taxes (other than taxes based on Splice Machine’s net income in its state of residence). Splice Machine may increase Fees by notifying Customer in writing of the change at least thirty (30) days in advance of the increase; unless Customer terminates, the Fee changes will take effect at the beginning of the next month.

Confidential Information may include, but is not limited to, information concerning software, inventions, business and financial information, customer information, and confidential know-how and trade secrets. Customer agrees that software, algorithms, source code, and other technology used by Splice Machine in connection with the Service, and any non-public documentation, performance information, benchmarks, or other analysis relating to the Service and any suggestions, comments, or other feedback provided by Customer to Splice Machine regarding the Service (“Feedback”), are and will be Confidential Information of Splice Machine, whether or not marked as such, and Customer irrevocably assigns Splice Machine all right, title and interest in any Feedback it provides.

14. General. This Agreement, including any selections made by Customer and Exhibits A-1 or A-2 as applicable, forms the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all other agreements between them, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement; it can be modified only by a written amendment signed by both parties. It may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Except as otherwise specified herein, this Agreement may be modified or amended only in a writing executed by each party; notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer acknowledges and agrees that Splice Machine may change and update its Service from time to time, and further agrees that Splice Machine may amend the terms of this Agreement from time to time, with reasonable notice to Customer (including through the Service), and in such case, Customer’s continued use of the Service after the effective date thereof shall be deemed to constitute Customer’s acceptance and agreement to the Agreement as amended. Preprinted terms on any other document (e.g., purchase orders, RFPs, etc.) are null and void and without force or effect. The waiver of any breach or default of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default, and will not act to amend or negate the rights of the waiving party. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, then such provision will be severed and replaced with a new provision that most closely reflects the original intention of the parties, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Delay in the performance of any duties or obligations of either party will not be considered a breach of this Agreement if caused by a fire, earthquake, flood or any other event beyond the control of the affected party (i.e., force majeure), provided that that party uses reasonable efforts, under the circumstances, to resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable. The parties are independent contractors; neither is an agent, partner, or representative of the other. Customer agrees to comply with all export and import laws and regulations of the United States and other applicable jurisdictions. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) Customer represents and warrants that it is not listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties or located in (or a national of) a country that is subject to a U.S. government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. government as a “terrorist supporting” country, (ii) Customer will not (and will not permit any third parties to) access or use the Service in violation of any U.S. export embargo, prohibition or restriction, and (iii) Customer will not submit to the Service any information that is controlled under the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations.

Any dispute hereunder will be negotiated in good faith between the parties within forty-five (45) days commencing upon written notice from one party to the other and neither party will file an action prior to the termination of such forty-five (45) day period. All disputes, controversies or disagreements which may arise between the parties, in relation to or in connection with this Agreement, or for the breach hereof shall be finally settled by arbitration in San Francisco, California, USA, in accordance with the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules of JAMS. The award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon both parties. The parties may apply to for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other interim or conservatory relief, as necessary, without breach of this arbitration agreement and without any abridgment of the powers of the arbitrator; both parties agree that any such application will be filed only in the state or federal courts in and for San Francisco, California, and each party hereby consents and submits to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating any such action. Neither this Agreement nor any of Customer’s rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned or transferred by Customer (in whole or in part and including by sale, merger or operation of law) without the prior written approval of Splice Machine. Any assignment in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. This Agreement is binding upon and intended solely for the benefit of the parties, their successors, and permitted assigns.
