Company makes its Software available to you as a hosted, cloud based services offering (the “Services”).  Company also shall make available to you those user guides, documentation and training materials regarding the Software and the Services that it makes generally available to its customers (the “Documentation”). The Software, the Services and the Documentation are referred to herein collectively as the “Solution.” Company’s website (the “Website”), the Solution and the information and content available on the Website and in or through use of the Solution are referred to herein each as a “Company Property” and collectively as the “Company Properties.” Scan results provided by the Software and Services are based on end user configuration, including information related to the user’s data sets, software framework and identification of the user’s own software applications and application programming interfaces, as well as on generally known security vulnerabilities and accepted coding practices.  Since the scan results produced by Software and the Services are based on information provided by the user, as well as on an ever-changing security landscape, the Software and the Services are designed solely for the purpose of assisting end users in identifying vulnerabilities.  Company does not guarantee, represent or warrant that the Solution will identify or properly classify all potential vulnerabilities or threats.

1.2  Registration, Free Services and Purchased Services.

or any other applicable jurisdiction.

1.2.2      Free Services.  If Customer registers with Company for a free trial or no charge version of the Services (“Free Services”), Company shall make the Free Services available to Customer free of charge until the earlier of (a) the end of the free period for which Customer registered to use the applicable Free Service(s), or (b) the start date of any Purchased Services (as defined below in Section 1.2.3).  ANY DATA CUSTOMER ENTERS INTO THE FREE SERVICES WILL BE PERMANENTLY LOST UNLESS CUSTOMER PURCHASES A SUBSCRIPTION TO THE SAME SERVICES AS THE FREE SERVICES OR TO UPGRADED SERVICES BEFORE THE END OF THE FREE PERIOD. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, ALL FREE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS-IS” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY.

1.2.3      Purchased Services.  The Services offerings are available in various packages that offer different usage limits and varying levels of support. The Services that Customer purchases pursuant to an Order on the parameters specified in such Order are the “Purchased Services.” Purchased Services exclude any Free Services or any other services made available to Customer free of charge.

Such features or tools are offered solely for trial or evaluation purposes and without any warranty of any kind, and may be modified or discontinued at Company’s sole discretion.  Company may choose to modify or discontinue features of the Company Properties as offerings are updated and more features are added. Company may stop, suspend, or modify features available through the Company Properties at any time without prior notice to Customer, provided that Company shall not materially decrease the functionality of the Purchased Services during a Subscription Period.

1.3.2       Agreement.  Company may from time to time, in its sole discretion, change the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  If any such change is material, as determined in Company’s sole discretion, Company will notify Customer by email or by posting a notice of the changes on the Website or on the account log-in page for the Services.

5      FEES AND PAYMENT TERMS.

5.1  Fees. You shall pay all fees that apply to the subscription you have ordered for the Solution (each, a “Subscription Fee”).  The Subscription Fees are either set forth in the applicable  Order or, if you and StackHawk did not execute an Order in writing, on the pricing page on our Website ( “Price List”).  The Subscription Fees shall commence upon the first day of the Subscription Period as set forth in the applicable Order or, if you and StackHawk did not execute an Order in writing, upon the Commencement Date.  If any Subscription Fees that are usage-based apply to the subscription you have ordered for the Solution, you acknowledge and agree that StackHawk may assess your usage of the Solution periodically in its sole discretion.  You agree to cooperate in all such assessments and provide any information requested by StackHawk.  If StackHawk determines that your use of the Solution exceeds the usage covered by Subscription Fees that you have paid to StackHawk, you agree that StackHawk may: (a) charge the credit card we have on file for you for, or if we do not have a credit card on file you shall promptly pay, the difference between the Subscription Fees previously paid by you for the Subscription Period and the Subscription Fees applicable to your current usage; and/or (b) suspend provision of the Solution to you. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in the Agreement, all payment obligations are noncancelable and all amounts paid are non-refundable.  The quantities and product offering tier purchased cannot be decreased or downgraded during the relevant Subscription Period. You may purchase at any time: (i) additional rights and subscriptions by paying Company the then-current fees for such additional rights and subscriptions, (ii) new features or functions of the Services not previously licensed by you by paying Company its price for such features or functions; or (iii) upgrades to your Services offering (e.g., upgrading from the entry level offering to an enhanced offering) by paying Company the difference between the price for your current offering and the price for the upgraded offering. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the applicable Order, any discounts provided by Company shall only apply to the initial quantities ordered pursuant to the original Order during the Initial Subscription Period. If purchases of additional rights and subscriptions, new features or functions of the Services and/or upgrades to your Services offerings occur during a Subscription Period, the prices for those items shall be prorated for the remainder of the applicable Subscription Period. 

5.2  Price Changes. Company shall have the right to change the Subscription Fees effective any time after the Service Commencement Date, which right shall include without limitation the right to change the Price List or charge fees for features or functions that have previously been offered at no charge.  Prices shall not change during the Initial Subscription Period.  Company will give you notice in writing of a price change applicable to the next proximate Subscription Period prior to the end of the then-current Subscription Period.  For clarity, your purchases of additional licenses, new features or functions of the Services and/or upgrades to your Services offerings shall not be subject to the notification requirement set forth in the prior sentence.

5.3  Payment; Late Payment Remedies.  Customer will be invoiced in advance of the start of each Subscription Period and otherwise in accordance with the relevant Order. Unless otherwise stated in the Order, invoiced charges are due net thirty (30) days from the invoice date. If any invoiced amount is not received by the due date, then without limiting other rights or remedies, those amounts may accrue late interest at the rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law. Further, if any amount due and payable by Customer is overdue, Company may, upon at least ten (10) days’ prior notice and without limiting any other rights and remedies, suspend provision of the Solution to Customer until such amounts are paid in full.  If you wish to use a credit card to pay the Subscription Fees, you must provide Company with a valid credit card (e.g., Visa, MasterCard or any other issuer accepted by us).  By providing us with your credit card number and payment information, you agree that Company is authorized to submit charges to your chosen payment method without further authorization from you, until you notify us that you wish to change your payment method.

5.4  Taxes. The payments required under this Agreement do not include any Sales Tax (as defined below) that may be due in connection with the Solution provided under this Agreement. If Company determines it has a legal obligation to collect a Sales Tax from you in connection with this Agreement, Company shall collect such Sales Tax in addition to the payments required under Section 5 of this Agreement. If any Solution or payments for any Solution under the Agreement are subject to any Sales Tax in any jurisdiction and you have not remitted the applicable Sales Tax to Company, you will be responsible for the payment of such Sales Tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant tax authority, and you will indemnify Company for any liability or expense Company may incur in connection with such Sales Taxes. Upon Company’s request, you will provide it with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or other such evidence that you have paid all applicable taxes. For purposes of this section, “Sales Tax” shall mean any sales or use tax and any other tax measured by sales proceeds that is the functional equivalent of a sales tax where the applicable taxing jurisdiction does not otherwise impose a sales or use tax.

5.5  Disputes. Unless otherwise provided by the applicable payment processor or payment platform used in connection with your payment for Services, you must notify us in writing within seven (7) days after an invoice from us or after receiving your credit card statement if you dispute any of our charges on that statement or such dispute will be deemed waived. Billing disputes should be notified to the following address: 1624 Market St, Ste 226 PMB 36969, Denver, CO 80202, with electronic copies of such notice delivered to finance@stackhawk.com.

If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil or criminal claim, action or proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, the Disclosing Party shall reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable costs of compiling and providing secure access to that Confidential Information.
