Enterprise Master Services Agreement

SCOPE

This Master Services Agreement (this “Agreement”) is between ID Agent LLC (“ID Agent” or “ID Agent”) and you, the entity that accepts any services from ID Agent and/or who purchases any licenses sold or provided to you by ID Agent (“you”, “your”, or “Customer”).  In this Agreement, ID Agent and you may be referred to individually as a “Party” and, collectively, as the “Parties.”

Services provided to you by ID Agent (“Services”), and any licenses sold to you by ID Agent, will be defined in one or more order forms (each, an “Order Form”) which, once accepted by you, will be automatically governed under the terms of this Agreement.  If there is a material difference between the language in an Order Form and the language in this Agreement, then the language of the Order Form will control, except in situations involving any modification of ID Agent’s warranties or ID Agent’s limitations of liability.  Under those limited circumstances, the terms of this Agreement will control unless the Order Form expressly states that it is overriding the conflicting provisions of this Agreement.

Please note: This Agreement contains a binding arbitration clause that affects how disputes between ID Agent and you must be resolved.  By agreeing to the terms of this Agreement, you are also agreeing to the binding arbitration requirements described below.

ORDER FORMS

To be valid, an Order Form must be supplied by ID Agent to you (i.e., purchase orders, invoices, and similar forms are not acceptable), and must be accepted by you either electronically or by physical handwritten signature.  An Order Form will be effective as of the date on which ID Agent receives your signed version of the form.  Any Order Form that is pre-signed by ID Agent must be signed by you and returned to ID Agent within ten (10) business days after the date on which ID Agent signed the form, otherwise the Form is automatically deemed to be withdrawn and invalid.

TERM

Unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Agreement, the term of any Order Form shall: (a) continue for the period indicated on the Order Form; and (b) thereafter, automatically renew for successive one year periods, unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal no less than sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then-current term.  Unless otherwise adjusted in accordance with this Agreement, fees and expenses for renewal terms will automatically be set at ID Agent’s then-current rates for the applicable Services. Either party may terminate this Agreement in the event that the other party fails to cure a material breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof.

ADDITIONAL SERVICES

Services or licenses that fall outside of the scope of an existing Order Form (“Additional Services”) may be provided by ID Agent; however, the Parties must agree to Additional Services in a signed writing either by amending an existing Order Form or agreeing to an additional Order Form.  ID Agent reserves the right to refuse or decline any proposed Additional Services.

FEES; PAYMENTS

You agree to pay the fees, costs, and expenses described in each Order Form.  Fees designated for payment on an “Annual” basis are due and payable in advance of the provision of services; fees designated for payment on a “Monthly” basis are due and payable monthly, in advance of the provision of services.

We reserve the right to increase our fees under any Order Form by providing you with written notice of the increase.  If an increase is more than ten percent (10%) of the fees charged for the same Services in the prior calendar year, then you will be provided with a thirty (30) day opportunity to terminate the applicable Order Form by providing us with written notice of termination.  Your continued acceptance or use of the Services after this thirty (30) day period will indicate your acceptance of the increased fees.  All fees must be paid in immediately available funds and in U.S. dollars. Fees paid are non-refundable.

Any payment not received timely by ID Agent will accrue late payment fees at the rate of 1.5% per month (pro-rated for partial months) or the highest amount allowable by law, whichever is less.  ID Agent reserves the right, but not the obligation, to suspend part or all of its Services or licenses to you without prior notice to you in the event that any portion of undisputed fees are not timely received by us. Recurring charges shall continue to accrue during any period of suspension. Notice of disputes related to fees must be received by us within ninety (90) days after the applicable service is rendered or the date on which you pay an invoice, whichever is later; otherwise, you waive your right to dispute the fee thereafter.  A re-connect fee may be charged to you if we suspend Services due to your nonpayment.  Time is of the essence in the performance of all payment obligations by you.

All fees are exclusive of local, state, federal and international sales, value added, excise, withholding and other taxes and duties of any kind. You are be responsible for, and agree to pay in advance (or reimburse ID Agent for amounts paid), any and all taxes and duties arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, other than taxes levied or imposed based upon ID Agent’s net income.

If ID Agent agrees to accept payment from you via ACH debit, credit card or other method (“Payment Method”), and you have provided ID Agent with all applicable billing information, then you hereby authorize ID Agent, using the Payment Method, to automatically charge you for all fees incurred in accordance with the Agreement, including during automatic renewal periods; Should automatic billing fail, you must immediately provide ID Agent with updated or corrected information for the failed Payment Method, or provide for payment by alternative means acceptable to ID Agent.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

The following limits the liabilities arising under this Agreement and is a bargained-for and material part of this Agreement.  You acknowledge and agree that ID Agent would not enter into this Agreement unless it could rely on the limitations described in this paragraphTo the greatest extent permitted by law, unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement or an Order Form, ID Agent makes no representations or warranties whatsoever in connection with any services, data, or licenses provided under or in connection with this Agreement, all of which are provided on an “as is” basis.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: ID Agent does not warrant that (a) any particular results will occur as a result of your use of the Services or software, or that at any services, software, or data will be free from errors, defects, or bugs, or that (b) the Services or software will not interfere with or disrupt any of your networks, security or other systems, or software.  ID Agent expressly disclaims, and you expressly waive under this Agreement, all implied warranties including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, system integration, accuracy of informational content, and accuracy of the methodology used to develop or provide the Services or any data.

In no event shall ID Agent’s liability arising out of or related to this Agreement, whether in contract, tort, negligence, or under any other theory of liability in the aggregate, exceed the greater of the total amount paid or payable by you to ID Agent under an applicable Order Form in the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the earliest date on which the incident giving rise to liability first occurred.  Except for your payment obligations and your indemnification obligations described in this Agreement, no Party shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive, consequential or other damages, including any lost profit, lost data or lost savings under any contract, negligence, strict liability or other legal or equitable theory, even if the Party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

INDEMNIFICATION

Each Party (an “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the other Party and its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives and contractors (an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, costs, expenses or liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (collectively, “Damages”) that arise from, or are related to, the Indemnifying Party’s uncured breach of this Agreement.  In addition, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold ID Agent and its directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives and contractors harmless from and against any and all Damages that arise from, or are related to, any decision, action or omission that you or any authorized third party may make based on Services or any data, reports, analyses, statistics or other information provided or made available to you in connection with the Services (“Report Data”), and any use or handling of Services or Report Data.  The Indemnified Party will have the right, but not the obligation, to control the intake, defense and disposition of any claim or cause of action for which indemnity may be sought under this section.  The Indemnifying Party shall be permitted to have counsel of its choosing participate in the defense of the applicable claim(s); however, (i) such counsel shall be retained at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost, and (ii) the Indemnified Party’s counsel shall be the ultimate determiner of the strategy and defense of the claim(s) for which indemnity is provided.  No claim for which indemnity is sought by an Indemnified Party will be settled without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld.

Confidential Information also includes (whether or not marked as confidential) (a) the identity of any chat rooms or other Internet sites monitored in connection with ID Agent’s monitoring-type services (“Sources”), (b) any Report Data disclosed to you in connection with the Services, and (b) the financial terms of this Agreement or any Order Form.

Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Parties will use at least the same procedures and degree of care which it uses to prevent the disclosure of its own confidential information of like importance to prevent the disclosure of Confidential Information disclosed to it by the other Party, but in no event less than reasonable care.

All Confidential Information shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party. Upon receipt of written request from the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall destroy the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party that is in the Receiving Party’s custody or control.

NON-SOLICITATION

You agree that during the term of this Agreement and for a period of eighteen (18) months after termination of this Agreement, whether for your own account or for the account of others, solicit for employment, hire, or otherwise engage any of ID Agent’s employees or independent contractors with whom you came into contact as a result of the Services rendered under an Order Form.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit you from hiring any person who responds to a general employment solicitation that is not personally directed to such person.

Gross annual compensation means twelve times the applicable employee or contractor’s last full month’s compensation from ID Agent, including bonuses and the value of the person’s benefits. The parties agree and acknowledge that this amount is a reasonable, liquidated amount and not a penalty.

MISCELLANEOUS

Additional Terms. Additional terms and provisions are attached as schedules to this Agreement, and are incorporated into the main body of this Agreement as if fully repeated herein.

Interpretation. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall in no case be considered in construing this Agreement. If any part of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or unenforceable, the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected and such provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision consistent with applicable law and, in its modified form, such provision shall then be enforceable and enforced. Neither suspension nor termination is an exclusive remedy and all other remedies will be available whether or not suspension or termination occurs. Any use of the term “include” or “includes” or “including” shall mean “include without limitation,” “includes without limitation” and “including without limitation,” respectively.

Assignment. Subject to the following, all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the respective successors and any permitted assigns of the parties.

There are no intended third party beneficiaries of this Agreement.

No Waiver; Limitations. No failure or delay in exercising any right hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any partial exercise of any right or power hereunder preclude further exercise.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, ID Agent may bring an action for temporary injunctive relief in any jurisdiction in which you attempt to breach, actually breach, or are reasonably likely to breach, any term of this Agreement.  An action for temporary injunctive relief in a jurisdiction other than in New York County, New York, shall not act as a waiver of ID Agent’s right to require the applicability of New York law or ID Agent’s right to require subsequent activity to take place in New York County, New York.

Dispute Resolution; Required Arbitration. The Parties agree to try in good faith for up to sixty (60) days (fifteen (15) days for nonpayment-related disputes) to resolve any dispute under or in connection with this Agreement (a “Dispute”) informally. If the Parties cannot settle any Dispute during this time period, the Parties agree to enter binding arbitration and not to litigate in court in front of a judge or jury.  The Parties also agree that class action lawsuits, class-wide arbitrations, private attorney-general actions, and any other proceeding where someone acts in a representative capacity are hereby waived and not allowed, nor is combining individual proceedings without ID Agent’s written consent.

Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be severed but the rest of the applicable section and Agreement still applies and shall be enforced.  This Agreement prevails to the extent that it conflicts with applicable arbitration rules.

Attorneys’ Fees. The rules of the applicable arbitral tribunal will govern payment of filing fees and the arbitrator’s fees and expenses, but the prevailing Party shall be entitled to receive an award of its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

Changes in Laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, ID Agent may limit or discontinue the provision of the Services to the extent that ID Agent (or any agent of ID Agent) is restricted by any rule, regulation, law or governmental entity from providing the Services to you.  In addition, ID Agent may discontinue, upgrade, or change the production, support, delivery and maintenance of any Services if ID Agent develops an upgraded version or otherwise no longer generally provides such Services to customers generally. In the event that ID Agent materially modifies the content or scope of the Services provided to you, the Parties shall renegotiate the fees in good faith according to the then-prevailing pricing models.

Force Majeure. ID Agent shall not be liable for any failure in its performance if the failure arises out of acts or omissions by you, or the unavailability of communications facilities or energy sources, acts of God, acts of third parties, acts of governmental authority, fires, strikes, delays in transportation, riots, terrorism, war, cybersecurity incidents, or any other causes beyond the reasonable control of ID Agent.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with its schedules and Order Forms, comprises the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes and merges all prior and contemporaneous proposals, understandings and all other agreements, oral and written, between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.  ID Agent reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change the terms and conditions of any of the Service schedules attached to this Agreement (“Updated Terms”) from time to time. Unless ID Agent makes a change for legal or administrative reasons, ID Agent will provide reasonable advance notice before the Updated Terms become effective. You agree that ID Agent may notify you of the Updated Terms by posting them on the online portal made available to you in conjunction with the Services (“Portal”), and that your continued use of the Services (including the Portal) after the effective date of the Updated Terms (or engaging in such other conduct as ID Agent may reasonably specify) constitutes your agreement to the Updated Terms.  The Updated Terms will be effective as of the time of posting, or such later date as may be specified in the Updated Terms, and will apply to your use of the Services from that point forward. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this paragraph, this Agreement may be amended or modified only in a writing executed by both parties.

SCHEDULE 2 – Data Protection Addendum for EU-based Customers

This Data Protection Addendum (“DPA”) is made a part of the Agreement solely to the extent that: (a) the Customer, or any person (“Person”) from whom the Customer collects Personal Data (defined below), is located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”); (b) the Customer and/or such Person is subject to Data Protection Laws (defined below); and (c) the Services involve the collection or processing of the Personal Data of an individual located in the EEA.  To the extent this DPA applies, and in consideration of the mutual obligations set out in this DPA, ID Agent and the Customer agree that this DPA is a binding part of the Agreement.

Except as modified in this DPA, the terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.  If there is any conflict between this DPA and the Agreement regarding ID Agent’s privacy or security obligations, the provisions of this DPA shall control.

Purpose:  The purpose of compliance with Data Protection Laws concerning the processing of Personal Data on behalf of End-Users located in European Union (“EU”) Member States or members of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and incorporates (to the extent applicable) the terms of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (“SCCs”).  “Data Protection Law” means, where applicable, the European General Data Protection Regulation (EU 2016/679) (“GDPR”), including applicable laws implementing or supplementing the GDPR and as transposed into domestic legislation of Member States, as amended, replaced or superseded from time to time (including applicable legislation in the United Kingdom that arises from its withdrawal from the EU or EEA).  The terms Processor, Controller, processing (and process), personal data breach, data protection impact assessment and Personal Data shall have the meanings set out in Data Protection Laws. The term “Personal Data” includes: first and last name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, and other information necessary to identify an individual for purposes of assisting ID Agent with providing Services.

Context and Scope of Personal Data Processing:  In order to provide the Customer with the Services, it may be necessary for ID Agent to collect Personal Data of an employee or other representative of the Customer (each, a “Customer Representative”).

Such data is collected when Customer Representatives provide their Personal Data directly to Customer as the designated point of contact between Customer and ID Agent, and Customer shares that data with ID Agent.  That data is subsequently used by ID Agent solely to provide the Services as requested in an Order Form, or as may be necessary to assist with any requests regarding use and proper operation of the Services or the Portal.

Obligations under Data Protection Laws:  To the extent that Data Protection Laws apply to the processing of Personal Data of Customer Representative(s) and other End Users, the parties acknowledge and agree that: ID Agent is a Processor and Customer is a Controller with regard to the processing of Personal Data. Each party shall comply with its respective obligations under Data Protection Laws and this DPA with regard to the processing of Personal Data.

Moreover, ID Agent shall only process Personal Data in accordance with the Customer’s documented instructions.  As required under Data Protection Laws, ID Agent shall assist the Customer, where appropriate, in ensuring compliance with the Customer’s obligations pursuant to Data Protection Laws, taking into account the nature and scope of ID Agent’s Personal Data processing, which may include providing commercially reasonable cooperation and assistance with: (a) data subject requests (see below); (b) notifications or communications regarding personal data breaches; (c) data protection impact assessments; and (d) prior consultations with supervisory authorities.

Processing Obligations:  With respect to any Personal Data processed by ID Agent pursuant to this Agreement, ID Agent shall: (a) in the event ID Agent engages trusted third parties to process Personal Data (“Trusted Parties”), seek the prior specific or general written authorization of the Controller, which is hereby given in respect of any Trusted Parties expressly listed in an Order Form or the Portal (and in the case of general written authorization, the Processor shall inform the Controller of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of Trusted Parties, thereby giving the Controller the opportunity to object to such changes); (b) unless prohibited under applicable law, upon termination of the Services, at its option, either return or destroy the Personal Data (including all copies of it); (c) ensure that all persons authorized by ID Agent to access the Personal Data on ID Agent’s behalf, are subject to obligations of confidentiality in accordance with confidentiality obligations set forth in the Agreement; (d) remain fully liable to the Customer for the failure of those persons authorized by ID Agent to access the Personal Data on ID Agent’s behalf; and, (e) make available such information as may be necessary to demonstrate compliance with its obligations under Article 28 of the GDPR and will (at the Customer’s cost and expense) contribute to and allow for appropriate reasonable audits.

Security:  ID Agent limits its collection of Personal Data to only that which is relevant for purpose of providing the Services and retains Personal Data in a form that permits identification of data subjects (defined below) for no longer than is necessary to serve that purpose.  ID Agent maintains a retention register documenting the regulatory, statutory and business retention periods which it applies to its records. Where no defined or legal retention period exists, the default standard retention period is six (6) years plus the year in which the record was created.  ID Agent shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Personal Data, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation, and the nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing, as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons.  The following is a summary description of ID Agent’s technical and organizational measures currently in place:

  1. Information Security and Physical Security Policies and Procedures;
  2. Remote Access and Bring-Your-Own-Device Policies;
  3. Multi-Factor Authentication;
  4. Encryption procedures for data in transit and at rest;
  5. Asset Management and Secure Disposal Policies;
  6. Current Information Asset Register;
  7. Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plans;
  8. Managed Security Services that include regular internet and extranet firewall testing and penetration testing;

Service Availability + Credits – Except in the event of Emergency Maintenance or Permitted Downtime, available Phishing Report Data or Monitoring Report Data (as applicable) will be delivered at least once during any 24 hour time period. Customer will notify ID Agent in writing of any non-compliance with the service levels set forth in this Schedule. If ID Agent fails to meet the required Delivery Availability more than twice during any month (i.e., applicable data is available and is not delivered to you for three or more days during the subject month) and after ID Agent has received the required written notice thereof, then Customer, as Customer’s sole and exclusive monetary remedy for such breach, will be entitled to receive one (1) full day’s credit on applicable Service fees for that particular month (a “Service Credit”), which will be computed based on then-current Service fees paid for the applicable Services divided by the applicable number of days in such month. Any Service Credit provided by ID Agent shall be applied to Customer’s next invoice (or refunded if ID Agent does not expect to issue any further invoices).

In order to receive the Service Credit, Customer must notify ID Agent in writing within 30 days from the time Customer becomes eligible to receive a Service Credit. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in a forfeiture of the right to receive the Service Credit.

Service Credits shall constitute Customer’s exclusive monetary remedy for ID Agent’s failure to meet any minimum Delivery Availability commitments; provided, however, that in the event of ID Agent’s uncured failure to meet Delivery Availability for two or more consecutive months, Customer shall also have the right to terminate the Agreement by providing ID Agent with written notice of such termination.

On a 24×7 basis, 365 days per year basis, Customer may provide notice of any Delivery Availability or other support issue by sending an email to their account manager or to [email protected] ID Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any reported and verifiable issues.
