Any feedback or suggestions that Client provides to PacketWatch regarding its Offerings and PacketWatch Tools (e.g., bug fixes and features requests) is non-confidential and may be used by PacketWatch for any purpose without acknowledgement or compensation; provided, Client will not be identified publicly as the source of the feedback or suggestion.

4. Client Contractors.

4.1. Authorization. Client authorizes PacketWatch to give Client Contractors the rights and privileges to the Offerings necessary to enable and provide for Client's use and receipt of the Client Contractor Services. If at any time Client revokes this authorization, to the extent the Offerings provide for Client to limit the Client Contractor's access and use of the Offerings, then Client is responsible for taking the actions necessary to revoke such access and use. In the event Client requires PacketWatch assistance with such revocation or limitation, Client must contact PacketWatch Support with written notice of such revocation or limitation at support@PacketWatch.com and PacketWatch will disable the Client Contractor's access to Client's Offerings within a reasonable period of time following receipt of such notice but in any event within 72 hours of receipt of such notice.

4.2. Disclaimer. Client Contractors are subject to the terms and conditions in the Agreement while they are using the Offerings on behalf of Client and Client remains responsible for their acts and omissions during such time. Any breach by a Client Contractor of this Agreement is a breach by Client. PacketWatch may make available Client Contractor Services to Client, for example, through an online directory, catalog, store, or marketplace. Client Contractor Services are not required for use of the Offerings. Offerings may contain features, including API's, designed to interface with or provide data to Client Contractor Services. PacketWatch is not responsible or liable for any loss, costs or damages arising out of Client Contractor's actions or inactions in any manner, including but not limited to, for any disclosure, transfer, modification or deletion of Client Data (defined in Exhibit A). Whether or not a Client Contractor is designated by PacketWatch as, or otherwise claims to be "certified," "authorized," or similarly labeled, PacketWatch does not: (i) control, monitor, maintain or provide support for, Client Contractor Services, (ii) disclaims all warranties of any kind, indemnities, obligations, and other liabilities in connection with the Client Contractor Services, and any Client Contractor interface or integration with the Offerings, and (iii) cannot guarantee the continued availability of Client Contractor Services and related features. If Client Contractor Services and related features are no longer available for any reason, PacketWatch is not obligated to provide any refund, credit, or other compensation for, or related to, the Offerings.

4.3. Restrictions on Client Contractors. Client shall not give or allow Client Contractors access to, or use of, intelligence reports provided to Client, or made accessible in the Products. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein prevents Client from using intelligence products for Client's Internal Use.

5. Professional Services.

5.1. Fees. Professional Services will commence on a mutually agreed upon date. Estimates provided for Professional Services performed on a time-and-material basis are estimates only and not a guaranteed time of completion. Professional Services performed on a fixed fee basis are limited to the scope of services stated in the applicable Order.

5.2. Ownership of Deliverables. Professional Services provided hereunder do not constitute "works for hire," "works made in the course of duty," or similar terms under laws where the transfer of intellectual property occurs on the performance of services to a payor. The only deliverable arising from the Professional Services is a report consisting primarily of PacketWatch's findings, recommendations, and adversary information. Client owns the copy of the report (including without limitation, all Client's Confidential Information therein) delivered to Client ("Deliverable"), subject to PacketWatch's ownership of the PacketWatch Materials. Client agrees that PacketWatch exclusively owns any and all software (including object and source code), flow charts, algorithms, documentation, adversary information, report templates, know-how, inventions, techniques, models, PacketWatch trademarks, ideas and any and all other works and materials developed by PacketWatch in connection with performing the Professional Services (including without limitation all intellectual property rights therein and thereto) (collectively, the "PacketWatch Materials") and that title shall remain with PacketWatch. For the avoidance of doubt, the PacketWatch Materials do not include any Client Confidential Information or other Client provided materials or data. Upon payment in full of the amounts due hereunder for the applicable Professional Services and to the extent the PacketWatch Materials are incorporated into the Deliverable(s), Client shall have a perpetual, non-transferable (except as expressly provided in the Section entitled Assignment), nonexclusive license to use the PacketWatch Materials solely as a part of the Deliverable(s) for Client's Internal Use.

7.1. Definitions. In connection with this Agreement, each party ("Recipient") may receive Confidential Information of the other party ("Discloser") or third parties to whom Discloser has a duty of confidentiality. "Confidential Information" means non-public information in any form that is in the Recipient's possession regardless of the method of acquisition that the Discloser designates as confidential to Recipient or should be reasonably known by the Recipient to be Confidential Information due to the nature of the information disclosed and/or the circumstances surrounding the disclosure. Confidential Information shall not include information that is: (i) in or becomes part of the public domain (other than by disclosure by Recipient in violation of this Agreement); (ii) previously known to Recipient without an obligation of confidentiality and demonstrable by the Recipient; (iii) independently developed by Recipient without use of Discloser's Confidential Information; or (iv) rightfully obtained by Recipient from third parties without an obligation of confidentiality.

Recipient shall not use Discloser's Confidential Information for any purpose other than as set forth in this Agreement. Recipient shall take the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature and importance (but in no event less than reasonable care) to protect the confidentiality and avoid the unauthorized use, disclosure, publication, or dissemination of the Discloser's Confidential Information. Within 72 hours of Recipient becoming aware of the unauthorized use, disclosure, publication, or dissemination of the Discloser's Confidential Information while in Recipient's control, Recipient shall provide Discloser with notice thereof.

7.3. Exceptions. Recipient may disclose Discloser's Confidential Information: (i) to the extent required by applicable law or regulation; (ii) pursuant to a subpoena or order of a court or regulatory, self-regulatory, or legislative body of competent jurisdiction; (iii) in connection with any regulatory report, audit, or inquiry; or (iv) where requested by a regulator with jurisdiction over Recipient. In the event of such a requirement or request, Recipient shall, to the extent legally permitted: (a) give Discloser prompt written notice of such requirement or request prior to such disclosure; and (b) at Discloser's cost, a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the disclosure and request confidential treatment or a protective order pertaining thereto prior to Recipient making such disclosure. If the Recipient is legally required to disclose the Discloser's Confidential Information as part of: (x) a legal proceeding to which the Discloser is a party but the Recipient is not; or (y) a government or regulatory investigation of the Discloser, the Discloser shall pay all of the Recipient's reasonable and actual out of pocket legal fees and expenses (as evidenced by reasonably detailed invoices) and will reimburse the Recipient for its reasonable costs and fees of compiling and providing such Confidential Information, including, a reasonable hourly rate for time spent preparing for, and participating in, depositions and other testimony.

7.4. Destruction. Upon Discloser's written request, Recipient shall use commercially reasonable efforts to destroy the Confidential Information and any copies or extracts thereof. However, Recipient, its Affiliates and their Representatives may retain any Confidential Information that: (i) they are required to keep for compliance purposes under a document retention policy or as required by applicable law, professional standards, a court, or regulatory agency; or (ii) have been created electronically pursuant to automatic or ordinary course archiving, back-up, security, or disaster recovery systems or procedures; provided, however, that any such retained information shall remain subject to this Agreement. Upon Discloser's request, Recipient will provide Discloser with written confirmation of destruction in compliance with this provision.

7.5. Equitable Relief. Each party acknowledges that a breach of this Section 7 (Confidentiality) shall cause the other party irreparable injury and damage. Therefore, each party agrees that those breaches may be stopped through injunctive proceedings in addition to any other rights and remedies which may be available to the injured party at law or in equity without the posting of a bond.

8. Warranties & Disclaimer.

8.1. No Warranty for Pre-Production Versions. Any pre-production feature or version of an Offering provided to Client is experimental and provided "AS IS" without warranty of any kind and will not create any obligation for PacketWatch to continue to develop, productize, support, repair, offer for sale, or in any other way continue to provide or develop any such feature or Offering.

8.5. No Guarantee. CLIENT ACKNOWLEDGES, UNDERSTANDS, AND AGREES THAT PACKETWATCH DOES NOT GUARANTEE OR WARRANT THAT IT WILL FIND, LOCATE, OR DISCOVER ALL OF CLIENT'S OR ITS AFFILIATES' SYSTEM THREATS, VULNERABILITIES, MALWARE, AND MALICIOUS SOFTWARE, AND CLIENT AND ITS AFFILIATES WILL NOT HOLD PACKETWATCH RESPONSIBLE THEREFOR.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, PACKETWATCH AND ITS AFFILIATES AND SUPPLIERS SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE OFFERINGS AND PACKETWATCH TOOLS. THERE IS NO WARRANTY THAT THE OFFERINGS OR PACKETWATCH TOOLS WILL BE ERROR FREE, OR THAT THEY WILL OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION OR WILL FULFILL ANY OF CLIENT'S PARTICULAR PURPOSES OR NEEDS.

Instead, the rights and duties of the parties arising from this Agreement, shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with Federal Procurement Law and any such disputes shall be resolved pursuant to the Contract Disputes Act of 1978, as amended (41 U.S.C. 7101-7109), as implemented by the Disputes Clause, FAR 52.233-1.

13. Term; Suspension and Termination; Renewal.

This Agreement shall remain effective until termination in accordance with this Section or as otherwise specified herein.

13.1. Suspension and Termination.

Either party may terminate this Agreement upon 30 days' written notice of a material breach by the other party, unless the breach is cured within the 30-day notice period.

If the Term is renewed for any Renewal Terms pursuant to this Section, the terms and conditions of this Agreement during each such Renewal Term shall be the same as the terms and conditions in effect immediately prior to such renewal, subject to any change in the fees payable not to exceed 5% per annum hereunder during the applicable Renewal Term.

14.1. Entire Agreement.

This Agreement shall not be construed for or against any party to this Agreement because that party or that party's legal representative drafted any of its provisions.

14.2. Assignment. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, except to an Affiliate in connection with a corporate reorganization or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all its business and/or assets.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party reserves the right to file a suit or action in any court of competent jurisdiction as such party deems necessary to protect its intellectual property rights and, in PacketWatch's case, to recoup any payments due.

14.4. Permission to List Client. Unless Client directs otherwise by sending an email to us at legal@PacketWatch.com, which direction may be given at any time, Client agree that PacketWatch may display Client's company name and/or logo (in accordance with any trademark guidelines Client provide) as a PacketWatch Client in a manner that does not suggest Client's use or endorsement of any specific PacketWatch product or service.

14.5. Independent Contractors; No Third-Party Rights. The parties are independent contractors. This Agreement shall not establish any relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise, or agency between the parties. No provision in this Agreement is intended or shall create any rights with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement in any third party.

14.6. Waiver, Severability & Amendments. The failure of either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or any subsequent breach. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to affect the intent of the parties, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. This Agreement may only be amended, or any term or condition set forth herein waived, by written consent of both parties.

14.7. Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable for, nor shall either party be considered in breach of this Agreement due to, any failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement (other than its payment obligations) as a result of a cause beyond its control, including but not limited to, act of God or a public enemy, act of any military, civil or regulatory authority, change in any law or regulation, fire, flood, earthquake, storm or other like event, disruption or outage of communications (including an upstream server block and Internet or other networked environment disruption or outage), power or other utility, labor problem, or any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing, which could not have been prevented with reasonable care.

Exhibit A: Data Security and Privacy Schedule

1. Definitions

  1. "PacketWatch Systems" means those computer systems hosting the 'PW MDR Platform'.

  2. "Client Data" means the data generated by the Client's Endpoints and collected by: (i) the Products, and/or (ii) the PacketWatch Tools, and in either case, sent to the PacketWatch Systems. Client Data is considered Client's Confidential Information (defined in Section 7 Confidentiality) and subject to the exclusions, exceptions and obligations set forth therein and this Exhibit A Data Security and Privacy Schedule.

  3. "Execution Profile/Metric Data" means any machine-generated data, such as metadata derived from tasks, file execution, commands, resources, network telemetry, executable binary files, macros, scripts, and processes, that: (i) Client provides to PacketWatch in connection with this Agreement or (ii) is collected or discovered during the course of PacketWatch providing Offerings, excluding any such information or data that identifies Client or to the extent it includes Personal Data.

  4. "Personal Data" means information provided by Client to PacketWatch or collected by PacketWatch from Client used to distinguish or trace a natural person's identity, either alone or when combined with other personal or identifying information that is linked or linkable by PacketWatch to a specific natural person. Personal Data also includes such other information about a specific natural person to the extent that the data protection laws applicable in the jurisdictions in which such person resides define such information as Personal Data.

  5. "Privacy and Security Laws" means U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. laws, including those of the European Union, that regulate the privacy or security of Personal Data and that are directly applicable to PacketWatch.

  6. "Security Breach" means unauthorized access to, or unauthorized acquisition of: (i) Client Data, or (ii) Personal Data, stored on PacketWatch Systems that results in the compromise of such Client Data and/or Personal Data.

  7.

2. PW MDR Platform

The 'PW MDR Platform' uses content collected from its clients, partners, and others, for the benefit of all its clients, to help each client protect themselves against suspicious and potentially destructive activities. PacketWatch's Products are designed to quickly detect, identify, and respond to intrusions by collecting and analyzing data, including network data, packets, PCAPs, logs, machine event data, executed scripts, code, system files, c2 beacons, login information, binaries, tasks, resource information, commands, protocol identifiers, URLs, and related metadata. Client, rather than PacketWatch, determines which types of data, whether Personal Data or not, exist on its own systems and networks. Accordingly, Client's network environment is unique in configurations and naming conventions and the collected data could potentially include Personal Data. PacketWatch uses the data to: (i) analyze, characterize, attribute, warn of, and/or respond to threats against Client and other Clients, (ii) analyze trends and performance, (iii) improve the functionality of, and develop, PacketWatch's products and services, and enhance cybersecurity; and (iv) permit Clients to leverage other applications that use the data, but for all of the foregoing, in a way that does not identify Client or Client's Personal Data to other Clients. Neither Execution Profile/Metric Data nor Threat Actor Data are Client's Confidential Information or Client Data.

3. Processing Personal Data

  1. Provisioning/Use of Offerings. Personal Data may be collected and used during the provisioning and use of the Offerings to deliver, support and improve the Offerings, administer the Agreement and further the business relationship between Client and PacketWatch, comply with law, act in accordance with Client's written instructions, or otherwise in accordance with this Agreement. Client authorizes PacketWatch to collect, use, store and transfer the Personal Data that Client provide to PacketWatch as contemplated in this Agreement.
  2. Suspicious/Unknown File Analysis. While using certain PacketWatch Offerings Client may have the option to submit or upload (by submission, configuration, and/or, in the case of Services, by PacketWatch personnel retrieval) files and other information related to the files for security analysis and response or, when submitting crash reports, to make the product more reliable and/or improve PacketWatch's products and services or enhance cyber-security. These potentially suspicious or unknown files may be transmitted and analyzed to determine functionality and their potential to cause instability or damage Client's endpoint. In some instances, these files could contain Personal Data for which Client are responsible.

  1. Compliance with Laws. PacketWatch shall comply with all Privacy and Security Laws, the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-US Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the US Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of Personal Data from the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, as applicable.
