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.

1.1 Solutions. Customer will purchase and Arctic Wolf, together with its Affiliates (as defined below), will provide the specific products and services (“Solutions”) as specified in the applicable Order Form. A Solution may consist of hardware equipment, which may be virtual or physical appliances (“Equipment”), software, including any add-ons offering enhanced features and functionality made generally available to Arctic Wolf customers from time-to-time (collectively, the “Software”), a cloud service offering, Software support, concierge services (as more fully defined in the Solutions Terms, as defined below) (collectively, “Services”), and/or additional professional services as defined below (“Professional Services”). The Solutions are provided on a subscription basis for a set term designated on the Order Form (each, a “Subscription Term”) for the one-time costs and subscription fees set forth therein (the “Fees”). Customer may access and use the Solutions, and any Documentation associated therewith, solely for its own internal business purposes and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such associated Documentation, any scope of use restrictions designated in the applicable Order Form, and the Solutions Terms found at https://arcticwolf.com/terms/solutionsterms/, as may be updated from time to time by Arctic Wolf (the “Solutions Terms”). “Documentation” means user manuals, training materials, product descriptions and specifications, and other printed information relating to the Solution, as in effect and generally available from Arctic Wolf, but expressly excluding marketing and sales collateral and materials. For purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliate” means any company or other entity, whether or not with legal personality, which directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under joint control with Arctic Wolf, including specifically, Arctic Wolf Networks Canada, Inc.

1.2 Future Functionality. Customer agrees that it has not relied on the availability of any future functionality of the Solutions or any other future product or service in executing this Agreement or any Order Form. Customer acknowledges that information provided by Arctic Wolf regarding future functionality should not be relied upon to make a purchase decision.

1.3 Except as otherwise provided herein, Customer understands and agrees that the Authorized Partner may not modify this Agreement or make any commitments related to the delivery or performance of the Solutions on Arctic Wolf’s behalf.

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 and for the implementation of appropriate data protection practices related to the protection of any information included on such Equipment while the Equipment is located within Customer’s environment. The Equipment is a part of the Solutions and included with the subscription to the Solutions for use by Customer during the Subscription Term. 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. In the event Customer relocates the Equipment, Customer will promptly notify Arctic Wolf so that Equipment deployment information can be updated within Customer’s account. Other than normal wear and tear, Customer is directly responsible for loss, repair, replacement and other costs, damages, fees and charges to repair the Equipment. If Customer does not return the Equipment to Arctic Wolf, Customer will be liable to Arctic Wolf for the replacement cost of the Equipment. If applicable, Arctic Wolf will ship Equipment to Customer and will pay the freight costs associated with shipping the Equipment to Customer’s designated locations. Customer is responsible for all additional costs and expenses associated with shipping the Equipment to its designated locations and for the return of the Equipment to Arctic Wolf upon termination of the Subscription Term. Such additional costs and expenses may be reflected on an Order Form, from time-to-time following shipment of the Equipment and will be invoiced by Arctic Wolf or the Authorized Partner pursuant to Section 7 herein. Customer understands and agrees if the Equipment is located outside of the United States, Customer is responsible for acting as the importer of record.

3. Professional Services. Certain Arctic Wolf Solutions may require Professional Services, such as onboarding, or may be stand-alone offerings, and any such Professional Services shall be specified on an applicable Order Form.

4. Software and Services. Provided Customer is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, Arctic Wolf grants to Customer a limited, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive license during the Subscription Term to: (i) 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, (ii) obtain and use Arctic Wolf’s Services in conjunction with Customer’s use of the Solution, and (iii) access the Arctic Wolf Customer Portal, subject to the Privacy Policy located at https://arcticwolf.com/privacy-policy-for-customer-portal-users/, as may be updated from time-to-time (the “Privacy Policy”).

Customer must implement Software and Services 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. Customer understands that the Solutions may consume additional CPU and memory in Customer’s environment while running in production.

5. Reservation of Rights and Ownership. Arctic Wolf owns or has the right to license the Solutions and any associated Documentation (“Arctic Wolf Technology”).

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.

6.4 Prohibited Use. 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: (i) nuclear activities, (ii) the development of biological or chemical weapons, missiles, or unmanned aerial vehicles, (iii) terrorist activities or any support thereof, or (iv) any other activities 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.

7. Fees, Payment, Taxes, and Audit. Pricing for the Solutions will be specified on an Order Form.

7.1 Order Forms Issued by Arctic Wolf. If an Order Form is issued to Customer by Arctic Wolf, Section 7.2 does not apply and the following terms apply:
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 and Customer will pay and bear such additional amount as shall be necessary such that Arctic Wolf receives the full amount of the payment required as if no such reduction or offset were required. 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.

7.2 Order Forms Issued by Authorized Partner. If an Order Form is issued to Customer by an Authorized Partner, Section 7.1 does not apply and the following terms apply: Customer is purchasing the Solutions through the Authorized Partner. The Order Form containing terms related fees, payment, taxes, audit, and any other related terms shall be between Customer and the Authorized Partner. Customer will pay any owed amounts to the Authorized Partner, as agreed between Customer and Authorized Partner. Customer agrees that Arctic Wolf may suspend or terminate Customer’s use of the Solutions upon ten (10) days’ written notice to Customer if Arctic Wolf does not receive payment of Fees from the Authorized Partner. The amounts paid by Authorized Partner to Arctic Wolf for Customer’s use of the Solutions under this Agreement will be deemed the amount actually paid or payable under this Agreement for purposes of calculating Arctic Wolf’s liability under Section 13. Customer’s renewal pricing will be communicated to Customer by the Authorized Partner in accordance with the terms Customer has with the Authorized Partner or by Arctic Wolf prior to the renewal Subscription Term.

8. Compliance with Laws. Each party represents and warrants that, during the term of this Agreement, it will comply with all foreign, federal, state and local statutes, laws, orders, rules, regulations and requirements, including those of any governmental (including any regulatory or quasi-regulatory) agency applicable to such party as it pertains to its obligations herein.

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 orally or visually disclosed to Recipient by Discloser, or disclosed in writing without an appropriate letter, proprietary stamp or legend, information that would be apparent to a reasonable person that such information is of a confidential or proprietary nature shall constitute Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, contract terms relating to Solutions 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 pricing, 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 intellectual property and know-how included in the 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 or if by Arctic Wolf, also as set forth in the Privacy Policy. 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; or (b) to those employees, officers, directors, agents, consultants, and advisors 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, to the extent legally permissible and reasonably practical, 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. To the extent legally required, Arctic Wolf may report any violations of law pertaining to any Customer Confidential Information and/or Customer’s use of the Solutions. The Discloser agrees that the foregoing obligations shall not apply with respect to any information that the Recipient can document is: (i) rightfully in its possession or known to it prior to receipt from the Discloser without an obligation of confidentiality; (ii) or has become public knowledge through no fault of the Recipient; (iii) rightfully obtained by the Recipient from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation,; or (iv) 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, and except as otherwise provided in Section 16 below, each party shall promptly destroy all copies of the other party’s Confidential Information and copies, notes or other derivative material relating to the Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the Privacy Policy, Arctic Wolf may retain Customer’s name, contact names, email address, and such other necessary contact information following termination of this Agreement for its internal business purposes.

10. Solutions Data.

10.1 Solutions Data. “Solutions Data” means, depending on the Solution deployed, the operational system log data and any other information which Customer may elect to submit to Arctic Wolf through the Solutions, including, but not limited to operational values, event logs, and network data such as flow, HTTPS, TLS, DNS metadata, cursory inventory data, operating systems and versions, users and groups from Active Directory, system level inventory, event data, and network vulnerability data. As between the parties, Customer shall retain all right, title and interest (including any and all intellectual property rights) in and to the Solutions Data (excluding any Arctic Wolf Technology used with the Solutions Data). Customer hereby grants Arctic Wolf, during the term of the Agreement, a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right to collect, use, copy, store, transmit, modify and create derivative works of the Solutions Data solely to the extent necessary to provide the Solutions to Customer. If Arctic Wolf is compelled by law to disclose Solutions Data or its summary reports related thereto, it shall provide prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at Customer’s cost, if Customer wishes to contest the disclosure. Customer hereby authorizes Arctic Wolf to aggregate Solutions Data with other data so that results are non-personally identifiable with respect to Customer and collect anonymous technical logs and data regarding Customer’s 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 to create and distribute reports and other materials. Customer understands, and hereby consents, that Solutions Data may be accessed by Arctic Wolf and its non-US Affiliates and their non-US citizen employees.

10.2 Personal Information. Confidential Information and Solution Data may include information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with or linked to a particular individual, whether directly or indirectly (“Personal Information”). Customer is responsible for the lawfulness of any such Personal Information and the receipt, use, and processing of it under the Agreement. Customer represents and warrants that, where it provides Personal Information to Arctic Wolf or requests Arctic Wolf collect or process such information, it (1) has complied with any applicable laws relating to the collection or provision of such information, (2) possesses any consents, authorizations, rights and authority required to transfer or permit Arctic Wolf to collect, receive, or access any Personal Information for the Solutions, and (3) to the extent required by applicable law, informed the individuals of the possibility of Arctic Wolf processing their Personal Information on Customer’s behalf and in accordance with its instructions.

10.3 European Union and United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation. If and to the extent Customer submits to Arctic Wolf personal data (as that term is defined under the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”)) of individuals located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, the Arctic Wolf Data Processing Agreement available at https://arcticwolf.com/terms/dpa/, as may be updated by Arctic Wolf from time-to-time (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. The Customer agrees to complete and execute the Standard Contractual Clauses appended to the DPA, as may be necessary under the GDPR to transfer personal data from the EEA or UK to other countries, as may be necessary for use of the Solutions. It is Customer’s sole responsibility to notify Arctic Wolf of requests from data subjects related to the modification, deletion, restriction and/or objection of personal data. Customer represents and warrants that any processing of personal data in accordance with its instructions is lawful.

10.4 California Consumer Privacy Act. The parties acknowledge and agree that Arctic Wolf is a service provider for the purposes of the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and may receive personal information (as defined by the CCPA) from Customer pursuant to this Agreement for a business purpose. Arctic Wolf shall not sell any such personal information. Arctic Wolf shall not retain, use or disclose any personal information provided by Customer pursuant to this Agreement except as necessary for the specific purpose of performing the Solutions for Customer pursuant to this Agreement or as permitted by the CCPA. The terms “personal information,” “service provider,” “sale,” and “sell” are as defined in Section 1798.140 of the CCPA. Arctic Wolf certifies that it understands the restrictions of this Section 10.4. It is Customer’s sole responsibility to notify Arctic Wolf of any requests from consumers (as defined in the CCPA) seeking to exercise rights afforded in the CCPA with regard to personal information received or processed in connection with the Solutions. Arctic Wolf agrees to provide reasonable cooperation to Customer in connection with such requests.

11. Indemnity.

11.1 Arctic Wolf’s Indemnity. Subject to Section 11.3, Arctic Wolf will defend and indemnify Customer from any unaffiliated third party claim or action to the extent based on the allegation that the Solutions infringe any intellectual property right (patents, utility models, design rights, copyrights and trademarks or any other intellectual property right) having effect in the United States and Arctic Wolf will pay any settlements that Arctic Wolf agrees to in a writing signed by an authorized officer of Arctic Wolf or final judgments awarded to the third party claimant by a court of competent jurisdiction. The foregoing obligations do not apply with respect to the Solutions, or portions or components thereof, that are: (a) not provided by Arctic Wolf; (b) combined with other products, processes or materials that are not reasonably contemplated by the Documentation where the alleged infringement relates to such combination; or (c) not used by Customer in strict accordance with this Agreement or the published Documentation. The indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 11.1 are Arctic Wolf’s sole and exclusive obligations, and Customer’s sole and exclusive remedies, with respect to infringement or misappropriation of third-party intellectual property rights of any kind.

11.2 Customer Indemnity. Subject to Section 11.3, Customer agrees to defend any third-party claim or action brought against Arctic Wolf to the extent based on Customer’s alleged breach of Sections 6 or 10 and Customer agrees to pay any settlements that Customer agrees to in a writing signed by an authorized officer of Customer or final judgments awarded to the third party claimant by a court of competent jurisdiction.

11.3 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party (i) may not make an admission of fault on behalf of the other party without written consent, (ii) any settlement requiring the party seeking indemnification to admit liability requires prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (iii) the other party may join in the defense with its own counsel at its own expense

11.4 Options. If Customer’s use of the Solutions has become, or in Arctic Wolf’s opinion is likely to become, the subject of any claim of infringement, Arctic Wolf may at its option and expense: (a) procure for Customer the right to continue using and receiving the Solutions as set forth hereunder; (b) replace or modify the Solutions to make them non-infringing; (c) substitute an equivalent for the Solutions; or (d) if Arctic Wolf, in its sole discretion, determines that options (a)-(c) are not reasonably practicable, terminate this Agreement and refund any pre-paid unused Fees as of the effective date of termination.

12. Warranty and Warranty Disclaimer.

12.1 Solutions Warranty. ARCTIC WOLF WARRANTS THAT DURING THE SUBSCRIPTION TERM AND PROVIDED THAT CUSTOMER IS NOT IN BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT: (I) THE SOLUTIONS PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT DO NOT INFRINGE OR MISAPPROPRIATE ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY; AND (II) THE SOLUTIONS SHALL SUBSTANTIALLY PERFORM AS DESCRIBED IN THE DOCUMENTATION. IN THE EVENT OF ANY BREACH OF THIS SECTION 12.1, ARCTIC WOLF SHALL, AS ITS SOLE LIABILITY AND CUSTOMER’S SOLE REMEDY, REPAIR OR REPLACE THE SOLUTIONS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO THE WARRANTY CLAIM AT NO COST TO CUSTOMER OR IF ARCTIC WOLF IS UNABLE TO REPAIR OR REPLACE, THEN ARCTIC WOLF WILL REFUND ANY PRE-PAID FEES FOR THE SOLUTIONS, OR PARTS THEREOF, SUBJECT TO THE WARRANTY CLAIM. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTY DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION, THE SOLUTIONS ARE PROVIDED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF DESIGN, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ANY WARRANTIES OF TITLE. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE SOLUTIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ARCTIC WOLF DOES NOT WARRANT: (A) THE OPERATION OF THE SOLUTIONS WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, OR ERROR FREE; (B) THE SOLUTIONS ARE NOT VULNERABLE TO FRAUD OR UNAUTHORIZED USE; (C) THE FEATURES OR FUNCTIONALITIES OF THE SOLUTIONS WILL BE AVAILABLE AT ANY TIME IN THE FUTURE; AND (D) THE SOLUTIONS WILL IDENTIFY OR DETECT EVERY VULNERABILITY OR SECURITY ISSUE. CUSTOMER IS RESPONSIBLE AND ARCTIC WOLF SHALL HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR DETERMINING THAT THE USE OF THE SOLUTIONS COMPLIES WITH APPLICABLE LAWS IN THE JURISDICTION(S) IN WHICH CUSTOMER MAY DEPLOY AND USE THE SOLUTIONS.

12.2 Open Source Warranty. The Software includes certain Open Source Software. Open Source Software is governed solely by the applicable open source licensing terms, if any, and is provided “AS IS”, and Arctic Wolf hereby disclaims all copyright interest in such Open Source Software. Arctic Wolf provides no warranty specifically related to any Open Source Software or any applicable Open Source Software licensing terms. Any fees paid by Customer to Arctic Wolf are for Arctic Wolf’s proprietary Software only, and not for any Open Source Software components of the Software. Any license associated with an Open Source Software component applies only to that component and not to Arctic Wolf’s proprietary Software or any other third-party licensed software. The foregoing language is not intended to limit Arctic Wolf’s warranty obligation for the Solutions set forth in Section 12.1. “Open Source Software” means software with its source code made available pursuant to a license by which, at a minimum, the copyright holder provides anyone the rights to study, change, and/or distribute the software to anyone and for any purpose.

12.3 Third Party Product. Third Party Product (as defined in this Section 12.3) may carry a limited warranty from the third-party publisher, provider, or original manufacturer of such Third Party Products. To the extent required or allowed, Arctic Wolf will pass through to Customer or directly manage for the benefit of Customer’s use of the Third Party Products as part of the Solutions (such decision to be made in Arctic Wolf’s discretion), the manufacturer warranties related to such Third Party Products. “Third Party Product” means any non-Arctic Wolf branded products and services (including Equipment, and any operating system software included therewith) and non-Arctic Wolf-licensed software products, including Open Source Software.

12.4 Customer Warranties. Customer represents and warrants that it 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; (v) not use the Solutions in a manner that would violate applicable laws or regulations; (vi) not use the Solutions and transfer any Solutions Data to Arctic Wolf for any fraudulent purposes; and (vii) implement safeguards within Customer’s environment to protect the Solutions, including specifically, the Equipment, from the introduction, whether intentional or unintentional, of (1) any virus or other code, program, or sub-program that damages or interferes with the operation of the Equipment or halts, disables, or interferes with the operation of the Solutions; or (2) any device, method, or token whose knowing or intended purpose is to permit any person to circumvent the normal security of the Solutions.

13. Limitation of Liability. FOR ANY CAUSE RELATED TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN AN ACTION BASED ON A CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY) OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, HOWEVER ARISING, ARCTIC WOLF WILL IN NO EVENT BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR: (A) DAMAGES BASED ON USE OR ACCESS, INTERRUPTION, DELAY OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOLUTIONS, LOST REVENUES OR PROFITS, LOSS OF SOLUTIONS, BUSINESS OR GOODWILL, LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA, LOSS RESULTING FROM SYSTEM FAILURE, MALFUNCTION OR SHUTDOWN, FAILURE TO ACCURATELY TRANSFER, READ OR TRANSMIT INFORMATION, FAILURE TO UPDATE OR PROVIDE CORRECT INFORMATION, SYSTEM INCOMPATIBILITY OR PROVISION OF INCORRECT COMPATIBILITY INFORMATION, BREACHES BY AN AUTHORIZED PARTNER, OR BREACHES IN CUSTOMER’S SYSTEM SECURITY; OR (B) ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; OR (C) ANY AMOUNTS THAT EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES PAID OR PAYABLE BY CUSTOMER FOR THE SOLUTIONS THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE CLAIM DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE EVENT WHICH GIVES RISE TO SUCH DAMAGES. THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT ARCTIC WOLF HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY. BOTH PARTIES UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITIES FOR EACH PARTY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE REASONABLE AND THEY WOULD NOT HAVE ENTERED INTO THE AGREEMENT WITHOUT SUCH LIMITATIONS.

14. Term and Renewal. This Agreement shall be in effect for the Subscription Term specified in the Order Form. Unless otherwise set forth on the Order Form, the Subscription Term for the Solutions will automatically renew at the end of the initial Subscription Term for the same period of time as the initial Subscription Term, but in no event more than a twelve (12) month term, and subject to the then-current terms at the time of renewal; provided however, if either party would like to opt out of automatic renewal of the Subscription, then such party must notify the other party no less than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the then-current Subscription Term.

15. Updates. Arctic Wolf reserves the right to modify the Solutions, this Agreement, the Terms, and the Documentation in Arctic Wolf’s sole discretion provided that such changes shall not materially decrease the Solutions features and functionalities that Customer has subscribed to during the then-current Subscription Term. Should Arctic Wolf make any modifications to the Agreement, the Terms, or Documentation, Arctic Wolf will post the amended terms on the applicable URL links and will update the “Last Updated Date” within such documents and notify Customer via the Customer Portal, Customer newsletter, https://arcticwolf.com/terms/ website, or such other written communication method implemented by Arctic Wolf from time-to-time of any such changes. Customer may notify Arctic Wolf within 30 days after the effective date of the change of its rejection of such change. If Customer notifies Arctic Wolf of its rejection during such thirty (30) day period, then Customer will remain governed by the terms in effect immediately prior to the change until the end of Customer’s then-current Subscription Term. However, any subsequent renewal of the Subscription Term will be renewed under the then-current terms, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties.

17.2 Notwithstanding any other terms to the contrary contained herein, Customer grants Arctic Wolf the right to use Customer’s name or logo in customer lists, marketing materials, and verbal discussions with prospective customers to communicate that Customer uses the Solutions. If Arctic Wolf intends to disclose information about Customer’s purchase(s) (such as dollar amount of sale or project objectives) in conjunction with the use of Customer’s name or logo, Arctic Wolf will obtain Customer’s prior written or email approval.

17.3 The parties to this Agreement are independent contractors. Neither party has the authority to bind the other party without the express written authorization of the other party.

17.4 This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective permitted successors and assigns of the parties. Customer shall not be entitled to assign, subcontract, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights and/or duties arising out of this Agreement and/or parts thereof to third parties, voluntarily or involuntarily, including by change of control, operation of law or any other manner, without Arctic Wolf’s express prior written consent. Any purported assignment, subcontract, delegation or other transfer in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void. No such assignment, subcontract, delegation or other transfer shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder.

Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party shall have the right to institute an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for preliminary injunctive relief pending a final decision by the arbitrator(s), provided that a permanent injunction and damages shall only be awarded by the arbitrator(s). In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover costs and attorneys’ fees.

17.6 Each party acknowledges and agrees that any dispute or claim that may arise out of or relate to this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Further, each party agrees that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to this Agreement must be filed within one year after such claim or cause of action arose.

17.7 No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution for any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity or otherwise.

17.8 If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable. The parties agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purpose of such void or unenforceable provision. Arctic Wolf does not accept, expressly or impliedly, and rejects and deems deleted any additional or different terms or conditions that Customer presents, including, but not limited to, any terms or conditions contained Customer’s purchase order, or other such document, or established by trade usage or prior course of dealing.
