SOC Subscription Agreement

 

This Subscription Agreement is by and between AG1, Inc (dba AgileBlue), with a principal place of business at 9000 Sweet Valley Drive, Cleveland, Ohio 44125 (“AgileBlue”) and Subscriber is effective on the later of the dates underneath the parties’ signatures below (the “Effective Date”). In consideration of the mutual obligations set forth hereinafter and intending to be legally bound, AgileBlue and Subscriber agree as follows:

  1. Subscription Rights. In consideration of Subscriber’s payment of the fees and compliance with the terms herein, AgileBlue grants Subscriber a non-exclusive, nontransferable right for the Subscription period ordered (unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) to use the Service solely for Subscriber’s internal business use.
  2. Charges and Payment of Fees. Subscriber shall pay AgileBlue the Monthly Subscription fees in effect at the time the fees or charges are due and payable. The fees in effect as of the Effective Date are listed below. Subscriber may pay the stated Subscription fee monthly or annually. If the Subscriber elects to pay monthly, then the Subscriber agrees to provide AgileBlue with an ACH and will be due on the 1st of every month.  If the Subscriber elects to pay annually, AgileBlue shall invoice 12 months of cumulative Subscription fees less a 5% annual discount up front, which must be paid within fifteen (15) days of the acceptance of this Agreement.
  3. Billing and Renewal. AgileBlue charges and collects in advance for use of the Service. AgileBlue will automatically renew and initiate debits with Subscriber’s bank or financial institution for monthly charges or issue an invoice to Subscriber each year on the subsequent anniversary for annual service.  The renewal charge will be equal to the service fees in effect during the prior term, unless AgileBlue has given Subscriber at least 30 days prior written notice of a fee increase, which shall be effective upon renewal and thereafter.  Fees for other services will be charged on an as-quoted basis.  AgileBlue’s fees are non-refundable and are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and Subscriber shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only United States (federal or state) taxes based solely on AgileBlue’s income. Invoices will not be re-calculated unless Subscriber consistently exceeds 10% increase on devices being monitored for two consecutive months. The increase will be the per device cost the subscriber is currently paying per the new added devices. Subscriber agrees to provide AgileBlue with complete and accurate billing and contact information.  This information includes Subscriber’s legal company name, street address, e-mail address, and name and telephone number of an authorized billing contact. AgileBlue reserves the right to increase the monthly/annual fee after year one of this agreement up to 5% per annum for general economic increases.
  4. Non-Payment and Suspension. In addition to any other rights granted to AgileBlue herein, AgileBlue reserves the right to suspend or terminate this Agreement and Subscriber’s access to the Service if Subscriber’s account becomes delinquent (falls into arrears). Delinquent invoices (accounts in arrears) are subject to interest of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less, plus all expenses of collection. Subscriber will continue to be charged for Licenses during any period of suspension.  If Subscriber or AgileBlue initiates termination of this Agreement, Subscriber will be obligated to pay the balance due on its account computed in accordance with the Charges and Payment of Fees section above.  Subscriber agrees that AgileBlue may collect or charge such unpaid fees to Subscriber through a debit authorization with Subscriber’s bank or financial institution, or by invoicing Subscriber for such unpaid fees. AgileBlue reserves the right to impose a reconnection fee in the event Subscriber is suspended and thereafter request access to the Service.  Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that AgileBlue has no obligation to retain Subscriber Data and that such Subscriber Data may be irretrievably deleted if Subscriber’s account is 30 days or more delinquent.
  5. Subscriber Data. Subscriber Data is defined as the raw log files from any device (server, workstation, or firewall) AgileBlue is monitoring. AgileBlue does not own any Subscriber Data. AgileBlue will not share, distribute, or print any Subscriber Data except as may be required by this service and the law.  Upon termination for cause, Subscriber’s right to access or use Subscriber Data immediately ceases, and AgileBlue will have no obligation to maintain or forward any Subscriber Data.
  6. Confidentiality. In the course of performance of this Agreement, both parties acknowledge that each will obtain or gain access to non-public information that is confidential and proprietary to the other (“Confidential Information”). The parties agree that any AgileBlue intellectual property and technology and Subscriber Data are Confidential Information.  Each party will (a) only use the other party’s Confidential Information for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement; (b) not use for its own benefit or knowingly disclose to, or use for the benefit of, any other person any Confidential Information without the other party’s prior written consent; (c) use at least the same degree of care and caution to protect the other party’s Confidential Information from disclosure that it employs with respect to its own confidential information, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care and caution; (d) disclose Confidential Information only to those of its employees, agents, consultants or contractors who require access to it in order for the party to be able to perform its obligations under this Agreement; and (e) take appropriate action by instruction, agreement or otherwise with persons allowed such access to satisfy the foregoing obligations.  This section will not apply to any information which (i) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party; (ii) is already in the receiving party’s possession without restriction on disclosure when disclosed by Subscriber; (iii) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of the Confidential Information of the disclosing party; or (iv) is rightfully obtained by the receiving party from a third party without violating the rights of the disclosing party.

    1.  7. Additional Terms:
      1. 7.1          AgileBlue provides security analysis and alert response services as set forth above in this Agreement. However, Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that deployment of the Services does not eliminate the risk of security incidents, and therefore, AgileBlue makes no guarantee that intrusions, compromises, or any other unauthorized activity or security incidents will not occur on Subscriber network.
      2. 7.2             The Service Levels will not apply to the extent Subscriber does not fulfill and comply with its obligation to cooperate with AgileBlue.
      3. 7.3         A “security incident” is defined as one or more security events that evidence a malicious and material security threat that is deemed high severity by AgileBlue, as determined at AgileBlue’s sole discretion. Subscriber is solely responsible for any suspected or actual security breach of Subscriber’s systems, data and other confidential information that Subscriber maintains, possesses or otherwise accesses. In the event AgileBlue becomes aware of a Subscriber security breach when providing the Services, AgileBlue will endeavor to promptly notify Subscriber of such breach. Subscriber will fully cooperate with AgileBlue to assess the nature and scope of the breach. Subscriber will use its best efforts to prevent further unauthorized access, use or disclosure of the Subscriber’s systems and/or data and will provide periodic updates to AgileBlue.
