Customer Requirement to Obtain Consents from Permitted Users.
Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy, legality and use of the
Customer Data. Customer represents and warrants that its and its Permitted
Users’ use of the Services, including the downloading of the Integration
Technology on any Customer Devices and the collection of any Customer Data
from such Customer Devices by the Services is in compliance with all
applicable laws, rules, and regulations in the applicable jurisdiction in
which it is collected and Customer’s policies and procedures. Without
limiting the foregoing, Customer will, in accordance with all applicable
laws and best commercial practices:
- disclose to all Permitted Users, including Device Owners, the fact that: (A) Kolide Integration Technology is downloaded onto Devices; (B) Kolide collects, uses and shares the Customer Data in accordance with this Agreement and the Kolide Privacy Policy, (C) Kolide Service Providers and Customer Service Providers may have access and, and if they do, notify Permitted Users of such third parties’ rights to use the Customer Data and (D) Customer collects, uses and shares the Customer Data in accordance with its own internal data use policies and procedures; and
- obtain and store all necessary rights, permissions, consents and approvals from Permitted Users with respect to the foregoing.
Open Source Software. Certain software code incorporated into or distributed with the Services may be licensed by third parties under various “open-source” or “public-source” software licenses (such as the GNU General Public License, the GNU Lesser General Public License, the Apache License, the Berkeley Software Distribution License, and the MIT License) (collectively, the “Open Source Software”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Open Source Software is separately licensed pursuant to the terms and conditions of their respective open-source software licenses. Customer agrees to comply with the terms and conditions of such open-source software license agreements.
Customer Licensed Technologies. The use of certain Services or Integration Technology may require that Customer obtain the right for Kolide to access certain third party technologies licensed, used and/or accessed by Customer and Permitted Users (collectively, “Customer Licensed Technologies”). In the event that Customer provides or makes available to Kolide any Customer Licensed Technologies, Customer hereby grants to Kolide a royalty-free, worldwide, sublicensable, transferable, non-exclusive right and license to use and access the Customer Licensed Technologies, and to use any data collected from such Customer Licensed Technologies in the same manner that Kolide is authorized to use the Customer Data. Customer represents and warrants that Customer possesses all rights and licenses necessary to make such grant to Kolide. KOLIDE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT IT SUPPORTS ANY CUSTOMER LICENSED TECHNOLOGIES.
Confidentiality.
- Definition. “Confidential Information” means non-public information pertaining to a party’s business provided by one party (“Discloser”) to the other (“Recipient”) that is designated as confidential or reasonably should be considered as such, excluding information that: (i) is or becomes public through no fault of the Recipient; (ii) was known to Recipient before the disclosure without restriction as to use or disclosure; (iii) is disclosed to Recipient by a third party without violation of any confidentiality restrictions; or (iv) is independently developed by the Recipient without access to or use of the Discloser’s information. Confidential Information of Kolide will also include, without limitation, non-public information regarding the Services, Platform, Integration Technology, Documentation and the pricing of any of the foregoing. Customer Data is not the Confidential Information of Customer, but, instead, is treated in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.
- Confidentiality Obligations. The Recipient (which, for the Customer, will include any Permitted Users) will: (i) only use the Confidential Information of the Discloser to exercise its rights and/or to perform under this Agreement; (ii) use the same degree of care to prevent unauthorized use and disclosure of Discloser’s Confidential Information as it does for its own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable care; and (iii) with respect to employees, contractors, or agents of Recipient, limit access to the Discloser’s Confidential Information only to those employees, contractors, or agents who have a need to access such Confidential Information and who are subject to confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those specified in this Section. The Recipient may disclose the Discloser’s Confidential Information to the extent required by any court, governmental body, or law or regulation, provided that, to the extent legally permissible, Recipient will provide prompt written notice to the Discloser of such disclosure and reasonably assists Discloser in efforts to limit such required disclosure. Upon written request of the Discloser, the Recipient will return or destroy, at Discloser’s option, the Discloser’s Confidential Information.
- Feedback. Customer and its Permitted Users may from time to time provide suggestions, comments or other feedback to Kolide regarding Kolide’s current or future products and services, including the Services (collectively, “Feedback”). Kolide will be free to use or incorporate into the Services any such Feedback.
Fees and Payment.
- Fees. Customer will pay the fees set forth at: https://kolide.com/pricing based on the number of Active Customer Devices deployed in a given month. An “Active Customer Device” means a Customer Device that communicates with the Services at least once within a thirty (30) day period. In the event that a Customer Device does not communicate with the Services at least once in such period or is designated by a Customer as inactive, Kolide will mark the Customer Device as inactive and will issue a prorated credit to Customer’s account for any prepaid, but unused time associated with such inactive Customer Device. All credits are non-transferable, non-refundable, and will expire upon the end of the Term.
- Payment Terms. Customer will pay the fees set forth at: https://kolide.com/pricing. Payment obligations are non-cancelable and, except as expressly stated in this Agreement, fees paid are non-refundable. Payment of all invoices is due within fifteen (15) days from the invoice date. Fees are stated exclusive of any taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer will be responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases, except for those taxes based on our net income. Should any payment for the Services be subject to withholding tax by any government, Customer will reimburse Kolide for such withholding tax. Kolide will have the right to suspend Customer’s access to the Services (and delete its Customer Data) for non-payment of any fees owed to Kolide, in addition to any other rights or remedies Kolide may have, including, without limitation, terminating this Agreement. In addition to any other remedies, Kolide will have the right to charge Customer a reconnection fee if its access to the Services are suspended for non-payment.
- Third Party Payment Provider. Kolide currently uses and reserves the right to continue using a third party payment provider (“Payment Processor”). Customer’s electronic payment of fees through any Payment Processor is also governed by the Payment Processor’s terms of service and privacy policy. Currently, Kolide uses Stripe, Inc. as its Payment Processor for payment services (e.g. card acceptance and related services). By making payments via the Services, Customer agrees to be bound by the Stripe services agreement at: https://stripe.com/us/legal, Connected Account Agreement, which can be found here: https://stripe.com/us/connect-account/legal, and Stripe’s privacy policy at: https://stripe.com/us/privacy.
- Expenses. Customer is responsible for obtaining and maintaining, at its sole expense, all of the hardware, software, and Internet connectivity and bandwidth necessary and appropriate for Customer and its Permitted Users to access and use the Services.
Term and Termination. This Agreement will take effect on the Effective Date and will remain effective for the Term Form unless earlier terminated as provided herein. Either party may terminate the Agreement for convenience upon thirty (30) days advance written notice to the other. Any and all claims and payment obligations that arose before termination will survive such termination. The following Sections will also survive termination: 2, 5 and 8 through 26. Upon termination of the Agreement, Customer will promptly cease accessing and using the Services. If Kolide terminates the Agreement solely for its convenience, Customer will be entitled to a refund of all prepaid but unused subscription fees, after deduction of any and all other fees and charges that are then due and owing from Customer.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, KOLIDE’S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE) WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT CUSTOMER HAS ALREADY PAID TO KOLIDE FOR THE APPLICABLE SERVICES OUT OF WHICH THE LIABILITY AROSE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENTS GIVING RISE TO SUCH DAMAGES. THE EXISTENCE OF MORE THAN ONE CLAIM WILL NOT ENLARGE THIS LIMIT.
Indemnification.

Kolide will pay those costs and damages finally awarded against Customer in any such action that are specifically attributable to such Claim or those costs and damages agreed to by Kolide in a monetary settlement of such action; provided, however, that Kolide will have no liability if such Claim arises from: (i) Customer Data or Third Party Services; or (ii) any modification, combination or development of the Services that is not performed by Kolide, including in the use of any application programming interface (API). Customer must provide Kolide with prompt written notice of any such Claim and allow Kolide the right to assume the exclusive defense and control, and cooperate with any reasonable requests assisting Kolide’s defense and settlement of such Claim.

- Customer will defend Kolide against any and all Claims by a third party arising from or relating to Customer’s or any of its Permitted User’s (i) violation of this Agreement; or (ii) use of the Services, except to the extent the Claim is subject to indemnification under Section 13(a) above.
