OneIQ grants Customer a subscription, nonexclusive and nontransferable right to use the portion of the Software as hosted by OneIQ and a portion of the Software as a downloadable component or as described in a separate written the Order (each an “Order”) and subject to all limitations and restrictions contained herein and the Order (“Use”).
- Customer may install the downloadable component of the Software inside container, cloud and datacenter infrastructure. Customer hereby authorizes the Software to collect Customer's billing, configuration, performance, log, event, wire (network), trace, transaction, usage and operations data about (i) applications, containers, services, workloads and clusters; (ii) cloud, hyper-converged, software-defined and virtualized infrastructure; and (iii) servers, nodes, storage arrays, network-connected devices and other systems (“Software Obtained Information”).
- Customer may collaborate with other OneIQ users by providing such other OneIQ users with access to the Software Obtained Information in authorized information technology environments (“IT Environments”) and authorized workspaces (“Workspaces”). It is the sole responsibility of the Customer to determine which users may or may not have access to the Software Obtained Information, what level of data visibility is necessary and disable access once access is no longer required. Software Obtained Information stored in IT Environments is the property of the legal entity represented by the Customer. If a Workspace is sponsored by a technology vendor, Solutions and other non-Software Obtained Information contained inside Workspaces are the property of the sponsoring technology vendor. In the event the Customer ceases to represent the applicable legal entity, the Customer must immediately remove itself from that legal entity's IT Environment and Workspaces. In no event may Software Obtained Information, IT Environments or Workspaces be shared with third-party service or solution providers, technology vendors or their business partners (collectively “Solution Providers”), unless such Solution Providers are licensed by OneIQ and have access to Workspaces.
- OneIQ shall use the Software Obtained Information only (i) as directed by the Customer or (ii) as directed by the technology vendor through which Customer received the Software and in accordance with the applicable product and privacy statements of the technology vendor. In the event of a conflict on direction, the Customer's direction shall govern.
- Customer authorizes the Software to augment, normalize and improve the quality of Software Obtained Information by automatically exchanging anonymous information with OneIQ. In addition, the Software may record asset tags, serial numbers, product keys, network source and destination IPs from applications, operating systems, management platforms and the underlying hardware, and use this data to retrieve additional information such as software lifecycle, network and threat intelligence, age and warranty of hardware devices from third-party service providers. The Software is configured to upload Software Obtained Information to OneIQ. Subject to the restrictions contained herein, OneIQ and Solution Providers may use the Software Obtained Information to (i) provide sizing, scaling and other cost optimization and risk mitigation recommendations; (ii) design IT infrastructure solutions and guide IT infrastructure purchasing decisions; and (iii) deliver consulting and OneIQ products and services (“Services”) for the Customer. OneIQ shall keep confidential all Software Obtained Information and shall not without Customer's prior written consent disclose or use any Software Obtained Information for any purpose except as necessary for properly performing this Agreement which Customer acknowledges may include OneIQ making Software Obtained Information available to Solution Providers, subject always to any such Solution Provider being bound by a provision in similar terms to this condition in relation to the confidential nature and treatment of Software Obtained Information.
- Use. Customer shall not allow any website, that is not fully owned by Customer, to frame, syndicate, distribute, replicate, or copy any portion of Customer's web site that provides direct or indirect access to the Software.
- Additional Restrictions. In no event shall Customer disassemble, decompile, or reverse engineer the Software or Confidential Information (as defined herein) or permit others to do so. Disassembling, decompiling, and reverse engineering include, without limitation: (i) converting the Software from a machine-readable form into a human-readable form; (ii) disassembling or decompiling the Software by using any means or methods to translate machine-dependent or machine-independent object code into the original human-readable source code or any approximation thereof; (iii) examining the machine-readable object code that controls the Software's operation and creating the original source code or any approximation thereof by, for example, studying the Software's behavior in response to a variety of inputs; or (iv) performing any other activity related to the Software that could be construed to be reverse engineering, disassembling, or decompiling. To the extent any such activity may be permitted pursuant to written agreement, the results thereof shall be deemed Confidential Information subject to the requirements of this Agreement. Customer may use OneIQ's Confidential Information solely in connection with the Software and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
- Data. Customer hereby authorizes the Software to collect, augment, normalize Software Obtainers Information and improve the quality of Software Obtained Information by automatically exchanging anonymous information with OneIQ. In addition, the Software may record asset tags, serial numbers and product keys from applications, operating systems and the underlying hardware and use this data to retrieve additional information such as age and warranty of hardware devices from third party vendors. The Software is configured to upload Software Obtained Information to OneIQ or Solution Providers. OneIQ and Solution Providers may use the Software Obtained Information to provide the Customer with artificial intelligence for IT operations, including pattern recognition, anomaly detection, root cause analysis, predictive analysis and design for cloud, hyper-converged, software-defined, virtualized and traditional (server) infrastructure solutions.
PAYMENT
- Fees. Customer shall pay OneIQ the fees indicated on an Order or in the Software. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all fees shall be paid to OneIQ within fifteen (15) days of the date of invoice. The initial payment for the Software must be made on the Order Effective Date.
- Late Payments. Any late payment shall be subject to any costs of collection (including reasonable legal fees) and shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (prorated for partial periods) or at the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less.
- Taxes. The service fees and other amounts required to be paid hereunder do not include any amount for taxes or levy (including interest and penalties). Customer shall reimburse OneIQ and hold OneIQ harmless for all sales, use, VAT, excise, property or other taxes or levies which OneIQ is required to collect or remit to applicable tax authorities. This provision does not apply to OneIQ's income or franchise taxes, or any taxes for which Customer is exempt, provided Customer has furnished OneIQ with a valid tax exemption certificate.
CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES AND RESTRICTIONS
- Customer will be solely responsible for: (i) Customer’s IT Environment, including as necessary to enable Authorized Users' access and use of the Software; (ii) account data, customer data and Customer credentials (including activities conducted with Customer credentials); (iii) providing any required notices, consents and authorizations from Customer content providers, Authorized Users and individuals whose personally identifiable information may be included in account data, Customer data or Customer credentials; (iv) entering into terms or agreements with Solution Providers, with respect to the Software Obtained Information and any other information shared, concerning data protection, international transfers, and other privacy/security measures; and (v) ensuring use of the Software is only for Customer’s IT Environment and in accordance with any other applicable terms and conditions; (vi) reviewing and validating all actions and recommendations proposed by the Software and Solution Providers.
- OneIQ reserves the right to investigate potential violations of this Agreement. In the event OneIQ reasonably believes a violation has occurred, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, including termination, OneIQ will have the right to suspend Authorized Users suspected of the violation from accessing the Software for so long as is reasonably necessary to address the potential violation. To the extent practical, OneIQ will notify Customer of any such suspension in advance (each, a “Suspension Notice”) and work with Customer in good faith to resolve the potential violation. For clarification, OneIQ reserves the right, but does not assume any obligation to Customer (except with respect to the Suspension Notice), to take any of the actions described herein.
MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT SERVICES
- Maintenance. OneIQ shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide corrections to reported problems that (i) prevent the Software from conforming in material respects to its specifications, and (ii) are replicated and diagnosed by OneIQ as defects in the Software (“Maintenance and Support Services”). OneIQ shall use commercially reasonable efforts to begin working on a resolution to Customer's written notice of reported problems within fourteen (14) days, provided corrections shall be prioritized in OneIQ reasonable discretion. A response is not a guaranty of a solution to the reported problem; however, OneIQ will keep Customer apprised of the resolution closure. Additional features and functions are not included as part of the maintenance and support services.
- Service Availability. OneIQ's goal is to provide Software availability twenty-four hours per day, seven (7) days per week (referred to as “24x7 Availability”) EXCEPT during times of scheduled updates. However, the parties recognize that 24x7 Availability is only a GOAL, and OneIQ cannot represent or guarantee that such goal can be achieved. These response time goals apply only to public production servers (i.e. web servers, application servers, and database servers). OneIQ shall use reasonable efforts to achieve 99% Software availability in North America. The Software availability goal exclude any time Customer requests the site be taken down for scheduled updates. OneIQ does not and cannot control the flow of data to or from OneIQ's network and other portions of the Internet. Such flow depends in large part on the performance of Internet services provided or controlled by third parties. At times, actions or inactions of such third parties can impair or disrupt Customer's connections to the Internet (or portions thereof). Although OneIQ will use reasonable efforts to take actions it deems appropriate to remedy and avoid such events, OneIQ cannot guarantee that such events will not occur. Accordingly, OneIQ disclaims any and all liability resulting from or related to such events.
- Exclusions. OneIQ shall not be obligated to provide Maintenance and Support Services for any software other than the generally available Software delivered to Customer pursuant to this Agreement (collectively the “Unsupported Code”). Any OneIQ support services related to Unsupported Code shall be subject to execution of a mutually agreed upon assignment order issued under a professional services agreement.
- Third Parties. OneIQ shall have the right to use third parties, including employees of OneIQ's affiliates and subsidiaries (“Subcontractors”) in performance of its obligations and services hereunder and, for purposes of this Section, all references to OneIQ or its employees shall be deemed to include such Subcontractors.
OWNERSHIP AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

As between the parties Customer shall own all right, title and interest in and to the Customer's data input by Customer to the Software and Software Obtained Information in IT Environments,. Customer irrevocably acknowledges that, subject to the rights granted herein, Customer has no ownership interest in the Software or OneIQ materials provided to Customer. OneIQ shall own all right, title, and interest in such Software and OneIQ materials, subject to any limitations associated with intellectual property rights of third parties.
