By accessing or using a Service in any manner, Customer agrees to the Agreement. Please refer to Section 15 for definitions of certain capitalized terms.
1. SIDM’S RESPONSIBLITIES
1.1 Service Subscriptions. Subject to Customer’s compliance with this Agreement, SIDM will make the applicable Services available to Customer during the Knowledge Package Subscription Term. SIDM will provide Support for the applicable Services to Customer during the Subscription Term at no additional charge. During the Subscription Term and any subsequent renewal periods, SIDM will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Services available according to SIDM’s Service Level Schedule, which is available at http://support.identitypanel.com, and varies based on customer support package, and subject to planned downtime and any unscheduled emergency maintenance according to SIDM’s Maintenance Policy referenced in the SIDM Service Level Schedule.
1.2 Security and Protection of Customer Content. SIDM will maintain a security program materially in accordance with industry standards that is designed to (i) ensure the security and integrity of Customer Content; (ii) protect against threats or hazards to the security or integrity of Customer Content; and (iii) prevent unauthorized access to Customer Content. As part of this program, SIDM will maintain the administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect the security of Customer Content that are described in the applicable Documentation, including those described in SIDM’s SOC II Type II Report (“Security Audit”) and SIDM Cloud Service Description at support.identitypanel.com. SIDM’s security safeguards include, without limitation, measures for preventing access, use, modification or disclosure of Customer Content by SIDM personnel except (a) to provide the Services and prevent or address service or technical problems, (b) as compelled by law in accordance with Section 7.2 (Compelled Disclosure) below, or (c) as Customer expressly permits in writing. In no event during a Subscription Term shall SIDM materially diminish the protections provided by the controls set forth in the Security Audit.
1.3 Trial Services. SIDM may make certain Services, SIDM Applications or specific features and functions, available without charge for limited periods for evaluation and non-production purposes (a “Trial”). Some of these Trials may be made available in an online sandbox, a self-contained cloud instance that SIDM pre-configures and pre-populates with data available for the evaluation of Services, SIDM Application(s) or specific features and functionalities. Such use of a Trial will be for the term specified by SIDM and may have limited features, functions, indexing capacity, data storage, data security, data continuity, data retention or other limitations as determined by SIDM, and SIDM may change or discontinue the Trial at any point. SIDM reserves the right to monitor Customer’s use of Trial in accordance with Section 2.6. Upon expiration of a specified term for an online sandbox Trial in particular, the sandbox environment and all Customer Content contained in the environment will become inaccessible. Customer understands that only Sections 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10.2, 11, 13, 14 and 15 of this Agreement apply to a Trial. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 8.2 shall apply without exception for the terms of Section 8.1. SIDM is not obligated to provide any maintenance, technical or other support for Trials.
1.4 Beta Services. SIDM may make available to Customer a preview, limited release, alpha, beta or other pre-release version or feature of the Service or SIDM Applications for non-production use (each, a “Beta Service”). Only Sections 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 of this Agreement apply to the Beta Service. Customer’s use of a Beta Service will be for the term specified by SIDM and if no term is specified, then for the earlier of one year from the Beta start date of the Beta Service or when that version of the Beta Service becomes generally available. A Beta Service may have limited features, functions, indexing capacity, data storage, data security, data continuity, data retention or other limitations as determined by SIDM. SIDM reserves the right to monitor Customer’s use of Beta Services in accordance with Section 2.6. SIDM may discontinue the Beta Service and may decide never to make the features and functionality in the Beta Service generally available. Customer acknowledges that Beta Services, by their nature, have not been fully tested and may contain defects or deficiencies which may not be corrected by SIDM, that a Beta Service may undergo significant changes prior to release of the generally available final version.
1.5 Configuration Services. Subject to Customer’s payment of applicable fees, SIDM will provide the deployment, usage assistance, configuration, and/or training services (if any) set forth in an Order in accordance with SIDM’s standard professional services terms and conditions located at https://support.identitypanel.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007262874-SoftwareIDM-Agreement-for-Professional-Services.
2. CUSTOMER USE OF THE SERVICES
2.1 Access and Use. Customer may only access and use the Services, SIDM Applications and SIDM Content in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Customer agrees to provide accurate and complete information when Customer registers for and uses any Service and agrees to update all required information promptly. Each person who uses any Service must have a separate AzureAD username and password. Customer must provide a valid email address for each person that Customer authorizes to use Customer’s account, and Customer may only create one account per email address. Customer must provide any other information reasonably requested by SIDM.
2.2 Purchased Volumes. Each Service is provided to Customer according to the capacity, usage and storage volumes, as purchased on the Order, if any.
2.3 Transmission of Customer Content. Customer is responsible for obtaining and maintaining all telecommunications, broadband and computer equipment and services needed to access and use the Services and for paying all charges related thereto. Customer is the owner and/or controller of all of Customer Content that Customer transmits to the Services. Without limiting SIDM’s security obligations under Section 1.2 above, Customer is responsible for the security of Customer Content when transmitted to and from the Services. Customer acknowledges that any encryption of Customer Content stored (i.e., “encryption at rest”) on the Service may be subject to Customer’s separate purchase of encryption features available from SIDM.
2.4 Customer Responsibility for Users and Customer Content. Customer is solely responsible for: (a) Users’ compliance with the Agreement, (b) the accuracy, quality and lawful use of Customer Content and the means by which Customer acquired Customer Content, (c) taking steps to maintain appropriate security, protection, and backup of Customer Content, (which may include the use of encryption technology to protect Customer Content from unauthorized access), and (d) routine archiving of Customer Content. Customer is responsible for securing, protecting and maintaining the confidentiality of Customer’s account username, passwords and access tokens. Neither Customer nor its Users will share Customer passwords or access codes. Customer is responsible for any access and use of the Services via Customer’s or its Users’ accounts and for all activity that occurs in connection with Customer’s or its Users’ accounts, regardless of whether the activities were undertaken by Customer, a User or a third party. SIDM will not be liable for any loss or damage arising directly or indirectly from Customer’s failure to maintain the security of Customer’s account and password or for unauthorized access to Customer’s account. Customer agrees to notify SIDM immediately if Customer believes that an unauthorized third party may be using Customer’s account or if Customer’s account information is lost or stolen. Unless specifically identified in an Order that Customer is purchasing the Service for HIPPA, PCI or GovCloud, Customer agrees to not transmit or store within the Services: (i) any protected health data, as defined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) as amended and supplemented by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, including the HIPAA omnibus final rule; (ii) financial information protected under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act; (iii) except as provided in Section 12, information protected by the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”); or (iv) any matter that is export-controlled as provided in Section 13.
2.5 Third Party Content or Resources. Third Party Content is not part of the Services and is not supported by SIDM. Any Service may contain features or functions that enable the interoperation of certain Services or SIDM Applications with Third Party Content. To use such features or functions, however, Customer may be required to obtain access separately to such Third Party Content from the respective providers of such Third Party Content, and Customer may be further required to grant SIDM access to Customer accounts with such providers to the extent necessary for SIDM to provide a Service. By requesting or allowing SIDM to enable access to such Third Party Content in connection with the Services, Customer certifies that it has accepted all terms related to the Third Party Content and agrees to use the Third Party Content in accordance with the license or service terms provided by the provider of the Third Party Content. If Customer installs or enables (or directs or otherwise authorizes SIDM to install or enable) Third Party Content for use with any Service, Customer hereby authorizes SIDM to allow the provider of such Third Party Content to access Customer Content as necessary for the interoperation of such Third Party Content with the applicable Services. Customer agrees that SIDM is not responsible or liable for disclosure, modification or deletion of Customer Content resulting from access to Customer Content by such Third Party Content, nor is SIDM liable for any damages that Customer may incur or any impact on Customer’s experience of the Service, directly or indirectly, as a result of Customer’s use of, and/or reliance upon, any Third Party Content, sites or resources.
2.6 Operational Metrics. From time to time, SIDM may collect and process technical and related information about Customer’s use of the Service (which may include, without limitation, ingest volume, search concurrency, number of unique user logins, number of identities, Internet protocol address, page views, session duration and other similar data) and certain aggregated, anonymized data about the Service environment, performance, configuration and usage and use such information to support and troubleshoot issues, provide updates, invoice, analyze trends and improve the Service. Such information is subject to the Security requirements of Section 1.2 and SIDM’s Privacy Policy located at https://support.identitypanel.com/hc/en-us/articles/360005768454-SoftwareIDM-Privacy-Policy

Subscription licenses to the Services, any SIDM Applications, and associated fees incurred are non-cancelable and non-refundable. Overdue charges will accrue interest monthly at the rate of 1.5% of the then-outstanding unpaid balance, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower. Charges must be paid in advance, either annually or in accordance with any different billing period stated in the Order. All payments are due and payable either within 30 days from the date of SIDM’s invoice or such other period, if any, stated in the Order.

4. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND LICENSES
4.1 SIDM Ownership; Suggestions. As between Customer and SIDM, SIDM owns and reserves all right, title, and interest in and to the Services, the SIDM Software, the SIDM Applications and the SIDM Content, including all intellectual property rights therein. No rights are granted to Customer hereunder other than as expressly set forth herein. Customer grants to SIDM a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, nonexclusive, transferable, sublicensable right and license to commercially exploit in any manner SIDM deems fit any Suggestions that Customer provides to SIDM.
4.2 License to Services, SIDM Applications and SIDM Content. Subject to Customer’s continued compliance with this Agreement, including timely payment of the fees set forth in the applicable Order, SIDM grants Customer a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferrable license to do the following solely during the Subscription Term:
(i) Access and use the Services listed on the Order for Customer’s internal business purposes, which does not include the provision of services for the benefit of third parties other than employees, contractors, and your business partners for the purpose of using the product as designed with Customer’s identity data. Customer may not access or use any Service in order to monitor its availability, performance, or functionality for competitive purposes.
(ii) Use any applicable SIDM Applications listed on the Order that Customer has licensed and installed, or has licensed and asked SIDM to install on Customer’s behalf, solely in connection with Customer’s permitted use of the applicable Services.
(iii) Use the SIDM Content, solely in connection with Customer’s permitted use of the Services.
(iv) Use the API(s) in accordance with descriptions provided in the Documentation at https://support.identitypanel.com.
(v) Copy, modify and use the APIs solely to develop Applications for use with the designated Service or SIDM Application (“Customer Applications”) and distribute Customer Applications solely for use with the designated Service or SIDM Application. The foregoing license is subject to the following conditions: (x) SIDM proprietary legends or notices contained in the APIs may not be removed or altered when used in or with the Customer Application; and (y) Customer may not make any statement that Customer Application is certified or that its performance is guaranteed by SIDM. Customer retains title to the Customer Applications, subject to SIDM’s ownership set forth in Section 4.1. If Customer allows end users of Customer Applications to modify or distribute the Customer Applications, Customer will limit such modification or distribution to use with the designated Service or SIDM Application only, and will flow down the conditions in (x) and (y) above to end users of Customer Applications. Customer agrees to assume full responsibility for the performance and distribution of Customer Applications.
(vi) Access and use the Forwarder solely to forward Customer Content into the applicable Services. The terms of this subsection and this Agreement supersede and replace in its entirety any click-through agreement that Customer must accept prior to accessing the Forwarder.
4.3 License Restrictions. The grant of rights to Customer in Section 4.2 is subject to the following restrictions and limitations: Customer may not, and may not permit any third party to: (a) reverse engineer (except to the extent specifically permitted by statutory law), decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to discover source code, object code or underlying structures, ideas or algorithms of the Services, the SIDM Software, the SIDM Applications, the SIDM Content or any software, documentation or data related to the Services, the SIDM Software, the SIDM Applications or SIDM Content, (b) modify, translate or create derivative works based on the Services, the SIDM Software, the SIDM Applications or SIDM Content, (c) use the Services, the SIDM Software, the SIDM Applications or SIDM Content for timesharing or service bureau purposes, or for any purpose other than its own internal purposes; or (d) use the Services, the SIDM Software, the SIDM Applications or SIDM Content other than in accordance with the Agreement and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations (including but not limited to any applicable privacy and intellectual property laws). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any SIDM Application is provided to Customer under a separate license agreement that grants Customer more permissive or broader rights with respect to such SIDM Application (e.g., a separate license agreement that is provided to Customer as part of the provisioning process for such SIDM Application), then that separate license agreement, and not the Agreement, will govern Customer’s installation and use of such SIDM Application (but, for clarity, the Agreement will apply to all other SIDM Applications).
