Last Updated Date:
June 17, 2019
This Master Solution Agreement (the “Agreement”) governs any executed order forms (“Order Form(s)”) that reference this Agreement and is entered into by and between the Customer identified on such Order Form(s) (“Customer”) and Arctic Wolf Networks, Inc. (“Arctic Wolf”). This Agreement permits Customer to purchase subscriptions to the Solutions identified in the Order Form and sets forth the basic terms and conditions under which those Solutions will be delivered. The Agreement consists of the terms and conditions set forth below, any attachments or exhibits identified below and any Order Forms that reference this Agreement. If there is a conflict between the terms below and the Order Form or Master Partner Agreement, the documents will control in the following order: the Order Form, the Master Partner Agreement (if applicable), this Master Solutions Agreement, and the terms located at any URL referenced in this Agreement.

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Scope


Customer will purchase and Arctic Wolf will provide the specific products and services (“Solutions”) as specified in the applicable Order Form. A Solution may consist of hardware equipment (“Equipment”), a cloud service offering (“Service”) and/or software (“Software”) as specified on the Order Form. Each Solution is provided on a subscription basis for a set term designated on the Order Form (each, a “Subscription Term”). Customer may access and use the Solutions solely for its own benefit and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the associated Documentation and any scope of use restrictions designated in the applicable Order Form. “Documentation” means user manuals, training materials, product descriptions and specifications and other printed information relating to the Arctic Wolf Solution, as in effect and generally available from Arctic Wolf on the Arctic Wolf Website, Arctic Wolf Partner Portal, and Arctic Wolf Customer Portal, expressly excluding marketing and sales collateral and materials.

2. Equipment


If the Order Form specifies that Customer will receive Equipment, then Customer is responsible for installing the Equipment at the location(s) specified by Arctic Wolf. The Equipment is a part of the Solutions and loaned to Customer by Arctic Wolf, not sold. Customer acknowledges that if Customer attempts to install or use the Equipment at a location other than specified by Arctic Wolf, the Solutions may fail to function or may function improperly. Other than normal wear and tear, Customer is directly responsible for loss, repair, replacement and other costs, damages, fees and charges if Customer does not return the Equipment to Arctic Wolf in an undamaged condition. Customer is responsible for all fees associated with shipping the Equipment back to Arctic Wolf upon termination of the Subscription Term.

3. Service


If the Order Form specifies that the Solutions includes a Service, then, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Customer may access and use the Service for its own internal business purposes. Certain Arctic Wolf Solutions require one-time professional services such as on-boarding shall be specified on an applicable Order Form.

4. Software


To the extent Arctic Wolf provides Software for use with the Solutions, subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Arctic Wolf grants to Customer a limited, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive license during any applicable Subscription Term to install the object code form of the Software, but only in connection with Customer’s use of the Solutions and otherwise in accordance with the Documentation and this Agreement. Customer must implement Software in order to enable features of the Solutions. Customer acknowledges that any changes made to the Customer’s infrastructure or configuration of the Solutions after initial deployment may cause the Solutions to cease working or function improperly and that Arctic Wolf will have no responsibility for the impact of any such Customer changes. The Software may also include certain additional software add-ons that offer enhanced features and functionality available with the additional purchase of applicable licenses.

5. Reservation of Rights and Ownership


Arctic Wolf owns the Equipment, Service, Software, and any associated Documentation (“Arctic Wolf Technology”). Customer acknowledges and agrees that (a) the Arctic Wolf Technology is protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws, (b) Arctic Wolf retains all right, title and interest (including, without limitation, all patent, copyright, trade secret and other intellectual property rights) in and to the Arctic Wolf Technology, any other deliverables, any and all related and underlying technology and any derivative works or modifications of any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, as may incorporate suggestions from Customer as contemplated by Section 11 below, (c) there are no implied licenses and any rights not expressly granted to Customer hereunder are reserved by Arctic Wolf, (d) the Software and access to the Services are licensed on a subscription basis, not sold, and Customer acquires no ownership or other interest (other than the license rights expressly stated herein) in or to the Services, any Software and Documentation and (e) the Services are offered as an on-line, hosted solution, and Customer has no right to obtain a copy of the software underlying the Services.

6. Restrictions, Responsibilities, Prohibited Use and Customer Data

  1. 6.1 Restrictions. Customer agrees not to, directly or indirectly: (i) modify, translate, copy or create derivative works based on the Arctic Wolf Technology, (ii) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise seek to obtain the source code or non-public APIs to the Solutions, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law (and then only upon advance notice to Arctic Wolf); (iii) interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Solutions or the data contained therein or block or disrupt any use or enjoyment of the Solutions by any third party, (iv) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services or their related systems or networks or (v) remove or obscure any proprietary or other notice contained in the Arctic Wolf Technology, including on any reports or data printed from the Arctic Wolf Technology. Customer agrees to abide by the terms of the Acceptable Use Policy at https://arcticwolf.com/terms/Acceptable-user-policy/. If Arctic Wolf, in its reasonable discretion, determines that Customer’s use of the Solutions imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on Arctic Wolf’s infrastructure or that Customer is abusing its use of the Solutions, Arctic Wolf may, temporarily suspend Customer’s access to the Solutions until such activity is rectified. If commercially practicable, Arctic Wolf shall provide Customer with notice prior to any such suspension and shall work with Customer in good faith to reinstate the Solutions promptly.
  2. 6.2 Responsibilities of Arctic Wolf. Arctic Wolf shall provide the Solutions as further described in the Solutions Terms at https://arcticwolf.com/terms/solutionsterms. The Solutions provided under this Agreement shall include any updates, upgrades, bug fixes, version upgrades or any similar changes that may be made available to Customer from time to time.
  3. 6.3 Customer Responsibilities. Customer must identify the administrative users for Your account (“Administrators”). Each Administrator will receive an administrator ID and password and will need to register with Arctic Wolf. Customer is responsible for notifying Arctic Wolf about changes to Administrators, including but not limited to termination, change of authority, and adding Administrators. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Administrators will be able to view all Customer Data and other traffic and activities that occur on Customer’s network and that Customer is responsible for all activities that occur under Administrator accounts. Administrator IDs are granted to individual, named persons and cannot be shared or used by more than one Administrator but may be reassigned from time to time to new Administrators. Customer shall (i) obtain any licenses and/or consents necessary for Arctic Wolf to perform its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) be responsible for ensuring the security and confidentiality of all Administrator IDs and passwords, (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to, or use of, the Solutions, (iv) notify Arctic Wolf promptly of any unauthorized use of the Solutions or any breach, or attempted breach, of security of the Solutions and (v) not use the Solutions in a manner that would violate applicable laws or regulations.
  4. 6.4 Prohibited Use. Because Customer may access the Solutions from anywhere in the world, it is Customer’s responsibility to ensure that Customer has the right to access and use the Solutions where Customer is located. Customer represents and warrants that Customer is not a Prohibited Person nor owned or controlled by a Prohibited Person. “Prohibited Persons” shall mean a person or entity appearing on the lists published by the U.S. Department of Commerce, the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department of Treasury or any other list that may be published by the U.S. Government, as amended from time to time, that is prohibited from acquiring ownership or control of items under this Agreement, or with which Arctic Wolf is prohibited from doing business. Customer further represents that the Solutions shall not be used for or in connection with nuclear activities; the development of biological or chemical weapons, missiles, or unmanned aerial vehicles; to support terrorist activities; or in any other way that would violate economic sanctions laws. Customer agrees to promptly notify Arctic Wolf and terminate its use of the Solutions if Customer discovers that any of the foregoing conditions apply. Arctic Wolf may suspend any use of the Solutions it reasonably believes may be (or that is alleged to be) in violation of the foregoing.
  5. 6.5 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 of its users to) access or use the Solutions in violation of any U.S. export embargo, prohibition or restriction, and (iii) Customer will not submit to the Arctic Wolf, directly or through the Solutions, any information that is controlled under the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations.


7. Fees, Payment, Taxes, and Audit

  1. 7.1 For direct purchases made between Arctic Wolf and Customer, the Order Form shall be between Customer and Arctic Wolf and the following terms shall apply:
    Pricing for the Solutions will be specified on an “Order Form”. All fees are payable in U.S. Dollars and are non-cancelable and non-refundable. Delinquent amounts shall bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (eighteen percent (18%) per year) or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less. If Customer fails to make any payments due under this Agreement or an applicable Order Form, Arctic Wolf shall notify Customer of such nonpayment. If a payment that is due remains unpaid for ten (10) days after Arctic Wolf provides Customer with notice of such nonpayment, Arctic Wolf may cease providing the Solutions without any liability to Arctic Wolf. The amounts payable to Arctic Wolf are exclusive of any sales, use, excise, value added, import, or other applicable taxes, tariffs or duties (“Taxes”). Customer is solely responsible for payment of all Taxes except for any taxes based solely on Arctic Wolf’s net income. If Customer is required to pay any Taxes, Customer shall pay such Taxes with no reduction or offset in the amounts payable to Arctic Wolf hereunder. If Arctic Wolf has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible, Customer authorizes Arctic Wolf to charge Customer for such amount. If Customer believes that Arctic Wolf has billed Customer incorrectly, Customer must contact Arctic Wolf no later than thirty (30) days after the closing date on the first billing statement in which the error or problem appeared in order to receive an adjustment or credit. Inquiries should be directed to Arctic Wolf’s customer support department.
  2. 7.2 For purchases made by Customer through a partner authorized and licensed to sell and /or deliver Arctic Wolf Solutions (an “Authorized Partner”), the order form or other equivalent transaction document containing terms related to Fees, Payment, Taxes, Audit and other terms, as may be applicable, shall be between Customer and the Authorized Partner.


8. Compliance with Laws


Both parties represent and warrant that, during the term of this Agreement, the parties will comply with all applicable foreign, federal, state and local statutes, laws, orders, rules, regulations and requirements, including those of any governmental (including any regulatory or quasi-regulatory) agency in connection with Customer’s use of the Solutions.

9. Confidentiality


Either party (as a “Discloser”) may disclose confidential and proprietary information, orally or in writing (“Confidential Information”) to the other party (as a “Recipient”). All such information shall be marked with a restrictive legend of the Discloser or, if disclosed orally, it shall be identified as confidential at the time of disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, contract terms relating to Customer Data shall be set forth in Section 10. Notwithstanding the marking requirements of this section, Customer acknowledges that the following constitutes Confidential Information of Arctic Wolf: any trade secrets, know-how, inventions (whether or not patentable), techniques, ideas, or processes related to the Arctic Wolf Technology; the design and architecture of the Arctic Wolf Technology; the computer code, internal documentation, and design and functional specifications of the Arctic Wolf Technology; and any problem reports, analysis and performance information related to the Arctic Wolf Technology. Each party agrees to hold the other party’s Confidential Information in strict confidence, not to disclose such Confidential Information to third parties not authorized by the Discloser to receive such Confidential Information, and not to use such Confidential Information for any purpose except as expressly permitted hereunder. Each party agrees to take commercially reasonable steps to protect the other party’s Confidential Information and to ensure that such Confidential Information is not disclosed, distributed or used in violation of the provisions of this Agreement. The Recipient may disclose Confidential Information only (a) with the Discloser’s prior written consent and (b) to those employees, officers and directors with a clear and well-defined “need to know” purpose who are informed of and bound by the obligations of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, The Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by law. However, the Recipient will give the Discloser prompt notice to allow the Discloser a reasonable opportunity to obtain a protective order and such Confidential Information disclosed to the extent required by law shall otherwise remain confidential and subject to the protections and obligations of this Agreement. The Discloser agrees that the foregoing obligations shall not apply with respect to any information that the Recipient can document (i) is rightfully in its possession or known to it prior to receipt from the Discloser, (ii) is or has become public knowledge through no fault of the Recipient, (iii) is rightfully obtained by the Recipient from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation or (iv) is independently developed by employees of the Recipient who had no access to Discloser’s Confidential Information. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, each party shall promptly return to the other party or destroy all copies of the other party’s Confidential Information and copies, notes or other derivative material relating to the Confidential Information.

10. Customer Data

  1. 10.1 “Customer Data” means operational data and other internal business information submitted by or on behalf of Customer to the Solutions. As between the parties, Customer shall retain all right, title and interest (including any and all intellectual property rights) in and to the Customer Data as provided to Arctic Wolf and the Solutions (excluding any Arctic Wolf Technology used with the Customer Data). Customer hereby grants Arctic Wolf a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right to collect, use, copy, store, transmit, modify and create derivative works of data Customer Data solely to the extent necessary to provide the Solutions to Customer. Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy, content and legality of all Customer Data. Customer represents and warrants to Arctic Wolf that Customer has all necessary rights, consents and permissions to collect, share and use all Customer Data as contemplated in this Agreement. Customer further represents and warrants that all Customer Data complies with the Acceptable Use Policy. Arctic Wolf aggregates Customer Data with other data so that results are non-personally identifiable with respect to Customer and also collects anonymous technical logs and data regarding use of the Solutions (“Aggregate/Anonymous Data”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, such Aggregate/Anonymous Data will be deemed Arctic Wolf Technology, which Arctic Wolf may use for any business purpose during or after the term of this Agreement, including without limitation to develop and improve the Solutions and services and to create and distribute reports and other materials. For clarity, this Section 10(a) does not give Arctic Wolf the right to identify Customer as the source of any Aggregate/Anonymous Data without Customer’s prior written permission.
  2. 10.2 European Union General Data Protection Regulation. If and to the extent Customer submits to Arctic Wolf personal data (as that term is defined under the GDPR) of individuals located in the European Union, United Kingdom and/or the European Economic Area, the Arctic Wolf Data Processing Agreement available at https://arcticwolf.com/terms/DPA/ (the “DPA”) is hereby incorporated into this Agreement unless Customer has signed a standalone Arctic Wolf Data Processing Agreement, in which case such terms shall control. Customer acknowledges that a list of Arctic Wolf’s current Authorized Sub-Processors pursuant to the DPA (the “List”) is available at the URL specified in the DPA, and that Customer’s is responsible for subscribing to updates to such List via the URL. It shall be Customer’s sole responsibility to notify Arctic Wolf of requests from data subjects related to the modification, deletion, restriction and/or objection of personally identifiable information.


11. Suggestions


If Customer provides any suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, feedback, recommendations relating to the Solutions (“Feedback”), then Customer agrees that Arctic Wolf, in its sole discretion, may use or incorporate such Feedback into the Solutions. Any such Feedback shall not be deemed to constitute Confidential Information or to impose any confidentiality obligations on Arctic Wolf. Customer hereby grants to Arctic Wolf and its assigns a royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, fully transferable and sublicenseable right and license to use, disclose, reproduce, modify, create derivative works from, distribute, display or otherwise distribute and exploit any such Feedback in order to improve the Solutions.

  3. 12.3 Procedures. Each party’s indemnification obligations are conditioned on the indemnified party (a) providing the indemnifying party with prompt written notice of any claim, provided that the failure to provide such notice shall only limit the indemnifying party’s obligation to indemnify to the extent that the failure prejudices the indemnifying party in its defense of the claim (b) granting the indemnifying party the sole control of the defense or settlement of the claim, and (c) providing reasonable information and assistance to the indemnifying party in the defense or settlement of the claim at the indemnifying party’s expense.
  4. 12.4 Options.
