All use of Products must be solely for the benefit of you (except as expressly permitted in Section 3(d) below) and must be within the Scope of Use.

You may not permit Secondary Users to use the Products for purposes unrelated to using the Enabled Offering or grant Secondary Users administrator, configuration or similar access to the Products. You may charge Secondary Users a fee for your Enabled Offering, but you may not designate a portion of such fee as specifically for use of the Products. Secondary Users are Authorized Users and accordingly, you are responsible for Secondary Users’ compliance with the terms of this EULA, including Section 5 (License Restrictions).

Administrators may also take over the management of accounts previously registered using an email address belonging to your domain. You are responsible for designating individuals as Administrators and any actions they take in that capacity. You agree that our responsibilities do not include management or administration of the Cloud Products for you. If you order Cloud Products through an Authorized Reseller, you are responsible for determining whether the Authorized Reseller will serve as an Administrator for you, and for any including any related rights or obligations in the agreement you put in place with such Authorized Reseller.

Some Cloud Products require Authorized Users to be designated by Administrators; some allow Authorized Users to sign up for individual accounts, which can become associated with teams or organizations at a later time; and some may allow Authorized Users to invite other Authorized Users. You are responsible for understanding the settings and controls for each Cloud Service you use and for controlling whom you allow to become an Authorized User. If payment is required for an Authorized User to use or access a Cloud Product, then we are only required to provide the Cloud Product to those Authorized Users for whom you have paid the applicable Fees, and only such Authorized Users are permitted to access and use the Cloud Product.
4. Grant of License; Right to Access
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this EULA, the applicable Order Form and the Documentation, Appfire grants you the following rights with respect to the Products.
- Server. For the Server license set forth in the applicable Order Form, Appfire grants you a perpetual (subject to termination in accordance with Section 13), worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as set forth in Section 23), non-sublicensable license to: (a) download, install, use and operate the Software in object code only and as limited by the Scope of Use, (b) make and install copies of the Software to support such Scope of Use, and (c) make one (1) copy of the Software for data protection, archiving and backup purposes only and for no other purpose.
- Data Center Subscription. For the Data Center Subscription set forth in the applicable Order Form, Appfire grants you a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as set forth in Section 23), non-sublicensable license during the Subscription Term to access and operate the Software in object code only and as limited by the Scope of Use on a remote server in a data center either: (a) owned by you, or in which you have leased server capacity; or (b) hosted by a third party on your behalf, provided that (i) no other party is allowed to access or use the Software or Software functionality except for you and your Authorized Users, (ii) you have no rights, contractual or otherwise, to take possession of the Software at any time, and (iii) you are fully responsible for any act or omission by the third party hosting the Software that results in a breach of this EULA or infringement of our intellectual property rights, whether or not you authorized the host to undertake such act or omission. The Subscription Term for the Data Center Subscription will be set forth in the applicable Order Form (or if none is set forth will be twelve (12) months from the effective date of the Order Form) and will be subject to automatic renewal for successive one-year Subscription Terms unless (i) either Appfire or you provide written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current Subscription Term, or (ii) we cease to make that particular Data Center Subscription generally available, provided that we use commercially reasonable efforts to provide you with prior notice thereof. If you cancel your Data Center Subscription, your license to use the Data Center Subscription will terminate at the end of the Term and you will not be entitled to any credits or refunds for amounts accrued or paid prior to such termination.
- Cloud Services. For Cloud Services set forth in the applicable Order Form, Appfire grants you a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as set forth in Section 23), non-sublicensable license during the Subscription Term to access and use the Cloud Service as limited by the Scope of Use. The Subscription Term for the Cloud Services will be set forth in the applicable Order Form (or if none is set forth will be twelve (12) months from the effective date of the Order Form) and will be subject to automatic renewal for successive one-year Subscription Terms unless (i) either Appfire or you provide written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current Subscription Term, or (ii) we cease to make that particular Cloud Service generally available, provided that we use commercially reasonable efforts to provide you with prior notice thereof. If you cancel your subscription to a Cloud Service, your license to use the Cloud Service will terminate at the end of the Term and you will not be entitled to any credits or refunds for amounts accrued or paid prior to such termination.
- No-Charge Products. You may access No-Charge Products during the Subscription Term (or if no Subscription Term is indicated, thirty (30) days), and your use of No-Charge Products is subject to any additional terms specified by us. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 4, your obligations under this EULA, including Section 5 (Restrictions), fully apply to No-Charge Products. After the Subscription Term has expired you must either (i) purchase and abide by the applicable license for the generally available Product, or (ii) remove and delete all copies of, and cease access to, any No-Charge Products. We may terminate your right to use No-Charge Products at any time and for any reason in our sole discretion without notice and without liability to you. You understand that any pre-release and beta versions of our Products (“Beta Versions”) are still under development, may be inoperable or incomplete, and are likely to contain more errors and bugs than generally available Products. We make no promises that any Beta Version 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 paragraph.
- Evaluation of Products. To the extent a Partner Marketplace offers trial periods for evaluation purposes or Appfire otherwise extends a trial period to you in writing, Appfire grants to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as set forth in Section 23), one time, limited use license (an “Evaluation License”) to download, install, use and operate the Software on a single server, or to access the Cloud Products, for the duration set forth on the Partner Marketplace, but not to exceed a thirty (30) day period (“Evaluation Period”), and by a limited number of temporary users as specified by us in our sole discretion. Upon the expiration of the Evaluation Period, the Evaluation License will terminate and you must uninstall, remove and delete all copies of the Software, or cease any access to or use of the Cloud Products, unless you have purchased a commercial license from us, the Partner Marketplace, or an Authorized Reseller. You are prohibited from acquiring and using multiple Evaluation Licenses for the same Product simultaneously or serially without our express prior written consent. Attempts to circumvent this prohibition, such as but not limited to using multiple email addresses within the same organization to continue to obtain Evaluation Licenses, are expressly prohibited and constitute a violation of this EULA. All Evaluation Licenses must (a) be acquired by the entity that holds the license to the server; (b) be installed on a physical or virtual server owned or leased by you; (c) not be used for any commercial or business purposes other than to evaluate the Product; and (d) not be used with more than three (3) Evaluation Licenses per server. Notwithstanding the foregoing, some of our Products may offer an extended Evaluation Period or to run more than three (3) Evaluation Licenses on a server. If an extended Evaluation Period or, more Evaluation Licenses per server, is available for a Product, you must contact Appfire’s Customer Success Team at solutions@appfire.com in order to request such an extension or increase, which may be granted in our sole discretion. In the event your use of a Product exceeds the limitations on the use of the Evaluation License set forth in this paragraph without our express approval, you will be in breach of this EULA. In such event, without limiting any other remedy available to us, we reserve the right to bill you for, and you agree to pay, any accrued Fees for your use of the Product beyond the scope of the Evaluation License.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all obligations or liabilities with respect to No-Charge Products and Evaluation Licenses, including any Maintenance, warranty, and indemnity obligations.
(b) Product Updates. Although Appfire has no obligation to provide Product Updates, Appfire may provide Product Updates from time to time. Further, Appfire reserves the right to make changes to the Products or modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, functions and features of the Products or the Products themselves. In the event Appfire intends to discontinue a Product, Appfire shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide at least ninety (90) days prior notice via the Appfire website or applicable Appfire customer portal. All such Product Updates shall be subject to the terms of this EULA unless specifically set forth in the Product-Specific Terms. You agree to promptly install all Product Updates made available for the Products.
(c) This EULA applies whether you purchase a license to the Products directly from us, through a Partner Marketplace, through an Authorized Reseller or otherwise. If you purchase a license to the Products through an Authorized Reseller, your Scope of Use shall be as stated in the Order Form provided to you by the Authorized Reseller, and the Authorized Reseller is responsible for the accuracy of any such Order Form. Authorized Resellers are not authorized to make any promises or commitments on our behalf, and we are not bound by any obligations to you other than what is included in this EULA.
5. Customer Responsibilities

(b) You agree that you will not, except as expressly permitted by the Documentation for the Product, nor will you allow any third party to: (i) decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, modify, adapt, create derivative works from, or otherwise attempt to derive any part or whole of the Products except to the extent expressly permitted by law (and then only with prior written notice to Appfire; (ii) directly or indirectly access or use any Third-Party Software independent from the Product in connection with which you obtained it, except as may be expressly permitted by your license to use such Third-Party Software, if separate from this EULA; (iii) sell, sublicense, redistribute, reproduce, transmit, circulate, disseminate, translate or reduce to or from any electronic medium or machine readable form the Products; (iv) provide any data or information not owned by you that you obtain through the Products to a person who is not an Authorized User; (v) modify, create any derivative work of or amend the Products; (vi) publish, promote, broadcast, circulate or refer publicly to the Appfire name, trade name, trademark, service mark or logo; (vii) commit any act or omission which will likely result in our, or any of our third party suppliers’, reputation being brought into disrepute or which could otherwise reasonably be expected to have or does have a material and adverse effect on our interests; (viii) offer or allow the Products to be used on a rental, timesharing, subscription, hosting or outsourcing basis or otherwise purport to distribute the Products without entering into a separate distribution agreement with us; (ix) access or use Products for competitive analysis or similar purposes; or (x) copy or embed elements of the Accessible Code contained in the Software into other software. The Software may include license protection mechanisms that are designed to manage and protect our intellectual property rights and those of our third-party suppliers. You must not modify or alter those features to try to defeat the license protection mechanisms. Without limiting any other right of Appfire, any violation by you or your employees, contractors, or agents of this Section will result, without notice from us, in the immediate termination of this EULA as to any and all Products.
6. Third-Party Products
(a) You and your Authorized Users may use third-party products or implementation, customization, training, or other services provided by third parties in connection with your use of the Products. In addition to your obligations of this EULA, additional obligations may apply in relation to any use of other third-party products or services by you which are not included in the normal use of the Products as permitted under the terms of this EULA. Your use of any third-party products or services is subject to a separate agreement between you and the third-party provider. If you enable or use third-party products or services (including Third-Party Software) with the Products, you acknowledge that the third-party providers may access or use Your Data as required for the interoperation of their products and services with the Products. This may include transmitting, transferring, modifying, or deleting Your Data or storing Your Data on systems belonging to third-party providers or other third parties. Any third-party provider’s use of Your Data is subject to the agreement between you and such third-party provider. It is your responsibility to carefully review such agreement. We are not responsible for any access to or use of Your Data by third-party providers or their products or services or for the security or privacy practices of any third-party provider or its products or services. You are solely responsible for your decision to permit any third-party provider or third-party product or service to use Your Data. APPFIRE DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES (WHETHER SUPPORT, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, OR OTHERWISE) OR FOR THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS.
(b) Some of our Products use third party open source software that is embedded in the Products (“Third-Party Software”). We may enable the interoperation of the Products with Third-Party Software as set forth in Section 6(a) above. Third-party software is not the Product and remains subject to its own license or subscription terms.
(c) Our Cloud Services uses, requires, and depends on various third-party APIs. We disclaim any liability for any failure or limitations of these APIs or services. Partner Marketplace, or any other API provider, may remove the API endpoints required for the Cloud Services to function properly. We expressly disclaim any liability for the consequence of such actions by third parties.
(d) Providers of Third-Party Software are third-party beneficiaries of this EULA.

The Products and all copies thereof are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws and treaties. We and our licensors have and retain all rights, titles, and interests in the copyright and all other intellectual property rights in and to the Products (including Media), the Documentation, and any copies of the Products. If the Products contain Documentation that is provided only in electronic form, you may print one copy of such electronic Documentation. From time to time, you may choose to submit Feedback to us. We may freely use, copy, disclose, license, distribute, and exploit any Feedback in any manner without any obligation to you, including royalties or restrictions based upon your intellectual property rights. No Feedback will be considered your Confidential Information, and nothing in this EULA limits our right to independently use, develop, evaluate, or market products or services, whether incorporating Feedback or otherwise.

We take privacy very seriously and we follow the law and industry standards to keep your private information private. We use reasonable efforts to secure private information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.

All such data and information will be collected and used by Appfire in accordance with Appfire’s Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information on how we collect, process and protect your personal information.
As between us, you retain all right, title and interest in and to any data, content, code, video, images or other materials of any type that you upload, submit or otherwise transmit to or through our Products or through our online support systems as further set forth in Section, and any other related platforms used to provide support (“Your Data”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 16, you grant and agree to grant Appfire a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free fully paid-up right to (a) collect, use, copy, store, transmit, modify and create derivative works of Your Data, in each case solely to the extent necessary to provide the applicable Product to you, and (b) for any Product that enables you to share Your Data or interact with other people, to distribute and publicly perform and display Your Data as you (or your Authorized Users) direct or enable through the Product.
Customer order data, if any, is stored in an encrypted format on servers with both physical and electronic safeguards. Application data, if any, is stored on redundant storage nodes to protect data from hardware failures. The nature of data is such that we cannot, however, guarantee that, in all cases, Your Data will be retrievable or able to be reconstructed in the event of loss or damage to Your Data or any storage nodes. Therefore, you are responsible for maintaining your own backup of all of Your Data and for its reconstruction if we are reasonably unable to retrieve it from our redundant storage nodes.
You agree to comply with applicable law in providing Your Data to us. You represent and warrant that (i) you have obtained all necessary rights, releases and permissions to provide all Your Data to Appfire and to grant the rights granted to Appfire in this EULA and (ii) Your Data and its transfer to and use by Appfire as authorized by you under this EULA do not violate any laws (including without limitation those relating to export control and electronic communications) or rights of any third party, including without limitation any intellectual property rights, rights of privacy, or rights of publicity, and any use, collection and disclosure authorized herein is not inconsistent with the terms of any applicable privacy policies. Appfire assumes no responsibility or liability for Your Data, and you shall be solely responsible for Your Data and the consequences of using, disclosing, storing, or transmitting it. You will not store personally identifiable information or other protected information in any data field in any Product which is not intended for the storage of personally identifiable information. You acknowledge and agree that we may disclose personally identifiable information under special circumstances, such as to comply with law.
11. Confidentiality
Each party agrees that all code, inventions, know-how, business, technical and financial information disclosed by one Party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (the “Receiving 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 intellectual property, the underlying technology, and any performance information relating to or regarding the Products, including but not limited to all information regarding the characteristics, features, selection, and arrangement of data, or performance of Beta Versions shall be Confidential Information of ours without any requirement for marking or further designation. Except as expressly authorized herein, the Receiving Party will hold in strict confidence and not use or disclose any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. This nondisclosure obligation shall not apply to any information that the Receiving Party can document: (i) was rightfully in Receiving Party’s possession or known to Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis prior to receipt of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; (ii) is or has become public knowledge through no fault of the Receiving Party; (iii) is rightfully obtained by Receiving Party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; or (iv) is independently developed by Receiving Party or its employees who did not have access to or make use of any of Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party 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 11 and that the Receiving Party remains responsible for compliance by them with the terms of this Section 11. 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). Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party would cause substantial and irreparable 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 shall be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief, without the necessity of posting of bond, in addition to whatever other remedies Disclosing Party might have at law.
12. Notification of Breach
If you discover you have breached any of your obligations under this EULA, you must immediately report such breach to us by sending a written notice detailing such breach to legal@appfire.com.
