This My Endpoint Protector Service Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between CoSoSys Ltd., a Romanian corporation, with offices at Someșului 14, Ground Floor, Cluj-Napoca, Romania (“CoSoSys”) and the entity agreeing to these terms (“Customer”). This Agreement is effective as of the date you click the “I Accept” button below (the “Effective Date”). 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 the applicable entity, to these terms and conditions; (ii) you have read and understand this Agreement; and (iii) you agree, on behalf of the party that you represent, to this Agreement. If you don’t have the legal authority to bind your employer or the applicable entity, please do not click the “I Accept” button below. This Agreement governs Customer’s access to and use of the Service.
1. Services.
1.1. Generally. CoSoSys will provide the Services to Customer during the Term of this Agreement. CoSoSys will provide Customer with a password and an administrative account to use for administering the My Endpoint Protector Reporting and Administration Tool and other related user accounts, and other relevant features of the Service, if applicable. Customer may use the Services to: (a) provide end user accounts to its end users; and (b) administer end user accounts through the Reporting and Administration Tool console.
1.2. Facilities. All facilities used to store and process Customer data will adhere to reasonable security standards no less protective than the security standards at facilities where CoSoSys stores and processes its own information of a similar type. CoSoSys has implemented at least industry standard systems and procedures to ensure the security and confidentiality of Customer data, protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of Customer data, and protect against unauthorized access to or use of Customer data.
1.3. Modifications.
1. a. To the Services. CoSoSys may make commercially reasonable modifications to the Service, or particular components of the Service, from time to time. CoSoSys will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer of any such changes.
2. b. To Applicable Terms. If CoSoSys makes a material change to the terms, then CoSoSys will notify Customer by either sending an e-mail to the notification e-mail address or alerting Customer via the Reporting and Administration Tool console. If the change has a material adverse impact on Customer and Customer does not agree to the change, Customer must so notify CoSoSys via the Help/Support center within thirty days after receiving notice of the change. If Customer notifies CoSoSys as required, then Customer will remain governed by the terms in effect immediately prior to the change until the end of the then-current term for the affected Services. If the affected Services are renewed, they will be renewed under CoSoSys's then current Terms.
1.4. Privacy Policies. CoSoSys will comply with the Privacy Policy and the Privacy Notice. Changes to the Privacy Policy and the Privacy Notice will be made as stated in the applicable policy.
1.5. Data Transfer. As part of providing the Service, CoSoSys may store and process Customer Data in the United States or any other country in which CoSoSys or its agents maintain facilities. By using the Services, Customer consents to this transfer, processing and storage of Customer Data.
2. Customer Obligations.
2.1 Compliance with the Agreement. Customer will comply with the Acceptable Use Policy and the Agreement, and will use best efforts to ensure its End Users do the same. CoSoSys may make additional applications, features or functionality available from time to time through the Service, the use of which may be contingent upon Customer’s agreement to additional terms.
2.2 Customer Administration of the Services. Customer may specify one or more Administrators through the Reporting and Administration Tool console who will have the rights to access the Administrator Account and to administer the End User Clients. Customer is responsible for: (a) maintaining the confidentiality of the password and Administrative Account; (b) designating those of its employees who are authorized to access the Administrative Account; and (c) ensuring that all activities that occur in connection with the Administrative Account comply with the Agreement. Customer agrees that CoSoSys’s responsibilities do not extend to the internal management or administration of Customer’s My Endpoint Protector system and that CoSoSys is merely a data-processor.
2.3 Privacy. Customer agrees to protect the privacy rights of its End Users under all applicable laws and regulations. Customer’s Administrators may have the ability to access, monitor, use, or disclose data available to End Users within the End User Clients. Customer will obtain and maintain consent from all End Users to Customer’s access, monitoring, use or disclosure of this data, and to CoSoSys providing Customer with the ability to do so. Customer is responsible for obtaining any necessary authorizations from End Users to enable CoSoSys to provide the Services.
2.4 Unauthorized Use. Customer will use all commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized use of the Service, and to terminate any unauthorized use. Customer will promptly notify CoSoSys of any unauthorized use of, or access to, the Services of which it becomes aware.
3. Requesting End User Clients; Service Term.
3.1 Initial Term; Prorated Terms. The initial term for Accounts purchased prior to the Service Commencement Date will be three, six, twelve, twenty-four or thirty-six months beginning on the Service Commencement Date. End User Clients purchased after the Service Commencement Date will have a prorated term ending on the anniversary of the Service Commencement Date. CoSoSys may revise its rates with at least thirty days prior written notice to Customer, including by e-mail, effective for the following term.
3.2 Automatic Renewal. The default setting for the Services is auto renewal for all End User Clients. If the automatic renewal setting is enabled, after the initial term each End User Client will automatically renew on each anniversary of the Service Commencement Date for an additional twelve month term. Customer will pay CoSoSys the then-current yearly Fees for each renewed End User Client unless Customer and CoSoSys mutually agree otherwise. Customer may alter the number of End User Clients to be renewed by communicating the appropriate number of accounts to be renewed to CoSoSys via the Admin Console.
3.3 Disabling Automatic Renewal. Customer may disable the automatic renewal option via the Admin Console. If Customer disables this automatic renewal setting, Customer’s End User Clients will terminate upon the conclusion of the then current term. CoSoSys may re-enable the automatic renewal setting on Customer’s behalf if Customer reduces or modifies the number of End User Clients scheduled for renewal via the Admin Console.
3.4 Requesting End User Clients. Customer may request End User Clients by: (i) notifying its designated CoSoSys Account Manager; (ii) ordering End User Clients via the Admin Console online.
4. Payment.
4.1 Payment. All payments due are in U.S. Dollars or Euros unless otherwise indicated on the Order Page or invoice.
a. Credit Card Orders. Fees for Credit Card orders are due immediately upon order placement. CoSoSys will bill the credit card provided via the Order Page for all applicable Fees when due. If credit card authorizations or charge attempts are declined, CoSoSys may immediately disable or cancel the Service, in its sole discretion.
b. Invoice Orders. Fees for orders where CoSoSys issues an invoice are due upon Customer’s receipt of the invoice, and are considered delinquent thirty days after the date of the applicable invoice.
4.2 Delinquent Payments. Delinquent payments may bear interest at the rate of one-and-one-half percent per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less) from the payment due date until paid in full. Customer will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by CoSoSys in collecting delinquent amounts, except where such delinquent amounts are due to CoSoSys’s billing inaccuracies.
4.3 Taxes. Customer is responsible for any Taxes, and Customer will pay CoSoSys for the Services without any reduction for such amounts. If CoSoSys is obligated to collect or pay Taxes, the Taxes will be invoiced to Customer, unless Customer provides CoSoSys with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. If Customer is required by law to withhold any Taxes from its payments to CoSoSys, Customer must provide CoSoSys with an official tax receipt or other appropriate documentation to support such payments.
5. Technical Support Services. If Customer cannot resolve a support issue, then Customer may escalate the issue to CoSoSys in accordance with the applicable Technical Support Guidelines. CoSoSys will respond in accordance with the applicable Technical Support Guidelines.
6. Suspension.
6.1 Of End User Clients By Customer. If Customer becomes aware of an End User’s violation of the Agreement, unless CoSoSys agrees otherwise in writing (including by e-mail), Customer may Suspend the applicable End User Client. The duration of any Suspension will be until the applicable End User cures the breach giving rise to such Suspension. Customer may Suspend its End Users for its own reasons.
6.2 Of End User Clients by CoSoSys. If Customer fails to Suspend an End User Client pursuant to Section 6.1 above, then CoSoSys may specifically request that Customer do so. If Customer fails to comply with CoSoSys’s request to Suspend an End User Client, then CoSoSys reserves the right to do so. The duration of any Suspension by CoSoSys will be until CoSoSys is reasonably satisfied that the applicable End User has cured the breach which caused the Suspension.
6.3 Of the Services by CoSoSys. If: (i) Customer materially violates this Agreement; (ii) CoSoSys provides Customer with commercially reasonable notice of this violation (which may be by e-mail to the Notification E-mail Address); (iii) CoSoSys uses commercially reasonable efforts to discuss and resolve the violation with Customer; and (iv) despite the foregoing, the violation is not resolved to CoSoSys’s reasonable satisfaction, then CoSoSys reserves the right to Suspend administrative access to the Service, or to particular components of the Service. If, after all of the foregoing, Customer still has not cured a violation within thirty days of the commencement of a suspension under this Section, then CoSoSys may immediately terminate the Services for cause.
6.4 Emergency Security Issues. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is an Emergency Security Issue, then CoSoSys may automatically suspend the offending use. Suspension will be to the minimum extent required, and of the minimum duration, to prevent or terminate the Emergency Security Issue. If CoSoSys Suspends an End User Client for any reason without prior notice to Customer, at Customer’s request, CoSoSys will provide Customer the reason for the Suspension as soon as is reasonably possible.
