2. RESTRICTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
2.1 Acceptable Use Policy. Your access to (and use of) the Services is subject to, and conditioned upon, Your acceptance of, and continued compliance with, Sumo Logic’s Acceptable Use Policy located at: https://www.sumologic.com/acceptable-use-policy/ (or its successor site) (the “AUP”). Any entity that directly (or through an affiliate) offers services that compete with the Service will not directly (or indirectly) use or otherwise access the Sumo Logic Technology, unless Sumo Logic provides prior written consent to do so pursuant to a separate document that is signed by an officer of Sumo Logic. You will promptly notify Sumo Logic in writing of any unauthorized use of the Sumo Logic Technology, in each case that comes to Your attention, and promptly take all reasonable steps necessary to terminate such unauthorized use, including collaborating with Sumo Logic to remediate.
2.2 Credentials. You will cooperate with Sumo Logic in connection with the performance of this Agreement by making available such personnel and information as may be reasonably required and taking such other actions as Sumo Logic may reasonably request. You will establish a username and password (or any other means required by Sumo Logic) (collectively “Account Credentials”) for verifying that only designated employees of You have access to any administrative functions of the Services. You are responsible for all activities (including the use of the Services) performed with the account Credentials and will maintain the security of the Account Credentials.
2.3 Customer Contact. You will designate an individual who will have the responsibility to, and the authority of You, to make decisions concerning all matters relating to this Agreement (“Primary Contact”). You may change the individual designated as Primary Contact at any time by updating the information in the administration console for the Services.
2.4 Email Selected for Account. You choose which email address to use when registering for the Services. If the domain associated with the registration is owned (or otherwise controlled) by your employer (or another company), and that employer (or other company) enters into a contract with Sumo Logic for the Services, and they want to add your account to their contract, then You may be rolled into that account.
2.5 Security. During the Term of this Agreement, Sumo Logic will implement and maintain administrative, physical and technical safeguards and measures designed to protect against unauthorized access to Customer Data. Such security program will conform to the Security Exhibit attached as Exhibit A, and is further described the most recent Service Organization Control 2 (SOC2 Type II) (or substantially similar industry standard report). During the Subscription Term, Sumo Logic will not materially diminish the protections provided by the controls in Exhibit A.
2.6 Administrators. Through the Services, You may specify certain users as administrators, who have important rights and controls over your use of the Services (each an “Administrator”). This may include entering into Order Forms; creating, de-provisioning, modifying, or monitoring user roles; setting permission levels; configuring the Services; setting retention or deletion policies as applicable; and overall managing access to your Sumo Logic account.
2.7 Customer Controls. The Services provide a number of controls that You may use as technical and organizational measures to assist in connection with your obligations. These controls are at both the Administrator and user level. Users also participate in this shared responsibility model by determining which types of data they need to send over to the Services and what types of queries to run, including whether the proposed use cases meet their applicable compliance needs. For clarity, You are responsible for the actions of its Administrator(s) and users. If You wish to have a backup of its log data, then You may, prior to data ingestion, configure the Services to forward a copy of all your log data (in standard Sumo Logic format) to an AWS S3 bucket (“Data Forwarding”). This feature will not work retroactively and must be configured prior to data ingestion. If You choose to utilize Data Forwarding, then You must: (i) purchase and maintain an AWS S3 Bucket, with such terms between You and AWS; and (ii) provide the credentials to the AWS S3 bucket as required by the Sumo Logic Technology prior to the uploading of your log data.
3. CONFIDENTIALITY
3.1 Definition of Confidential Information. Each party (the “Recipient”) understands that the other party (the “Discloser”) has disclosed or may disclose information relating to the Discloser’s technology or business (“Confidential Information”).
3.2 Protection of Confidential Information. The Recipient will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care) to: (a) not use any Confidential Information of the Discloser for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement; and (b) limit access to Confidential Information of the Discloser to those of its and its affiliates’ employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Recipient containing protections not materially less protective of the Confidential Information than those herein. The foregoing will not apply to any information that the Recipient can document: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public without any action by, or involvement of, the Recipient; (ii) was in its possession or known by it prior to receipt from the Discloser; (iii) was rightfully disclosed to it without restriction by a third party; or (iv) was independently developed without use of any Confidential Information of the Discloser.
3.3 Compelled Disclosures. Nothing in this Agreement will prevent the Recipient from disclosing the Confidential Information pursuant to any judicial or governmental order, provided that (to the extent permitted by applicable law) the Recipient gives the Discloser reasonable prior notice of such disclosure to contest such order and limits the amount disclosed to only what is legally required.
3.4 Data. “Customer Data” means the electronic data or information submitted by You to the Services. Except for such Customer Data, Sumo Logic does not wish to receive any Confidential Information from You that is not necessary for Sumo Logic to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and, unless You and Sumo Logic specifically agree otherwise, Sumo Logic may reasonably presume that any unrelated information received from You is not confidential or Confidential Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Sumo Logic may: (a) collect and process technical and related information about your use of the Sumo Logic Technology, which may include (without limitation) page views, session duration, number of unique user logins, ingest volume, search congruency, machine-generated data, and other similar data; and (b) create certain aggregated, de-identified information related to the Services, including information about the Sumo Logic Technology environment, performance, configuration, and other usage information. You authorize Sumo Logic to use such data to support and troubleshoot, provide personalized messages and updates, invoice, analyze trends and benchmark, and administer (as well as test and improve) the Sumo Logic Technology.
3.5 Permitted Disclosures. Both parties will have the right to disclose the existence, but not any negotiated terms and conditions of the Agreement, unless such disclosure is approved in writing by both parties prior to such disclosure, or is included in a filing required to be made by a party with a governmental authority (provided such party will use reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment or a protective order) or is made on a confidential basis as reasonably necessary to a party’s attorneys, accountants, auditors, financial advisers, creditors, insurers, as well as acquirers, investors, financiers and bona fide potential acquirers, investors and financiers of such party, who are subject to an obligation of confidentiality.
3.6 Deletion of Confidential Information. Upon termination of the Agreement, the Recipient will delete Discloser’s Confidential Information, but may retain such information pursuant to its policies for: (a) accounting, tax, billing, audit, and compliance purposes; (b) investigating fraud or unlawful use of the Services; or (c) as required by applicable law, provided such retention, use, and disclosure for the foregoing purposes is subject to the confidentiality obligations under this Section 3 (Confidentiality).
3.7 Totality of Confidentiality. For clarity, to the extent the parties have entered into (or enter into) a separate non-disclosure agreement regarding the access to (or use of) the Services, You agree that the terms of this Service Agreement supersede and control.
3.8 Data Processing Addendum. To the extent Customer Data includes Personal Data, the parties agree to comply with the terms and conditions of the Data Protection Addendum (plus Standard Contractual Clauses, as applicable) available at: https://www.sumologic.com/customer-data-processing-addendum/ (the “DPA”), which is hereby incorporated by reference.
4. PAYMENT OF FEES
4.1 Payment of Fees. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Order Form, You will pay Sumo Logic the applicable fees as set forth on the Order Form (the “Fees”) in U.S. Dollars, within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. If your use of the Services exceeds the usage described in the applicable Order Form, You shall pay additional applicable Fees as set forth in such Order Form. All payments will be made in accordance with the payment schedule and the payment method specified in the applicable Order Form. Sumo Logic reserves the right to modify its fees, cancel, and/or modify the Services at the expiration, termination or renewal of this Agreement or any Subscription Term.
4.2 Suspension for Failure to Pay. In the event your account becomes overdue is not brought current within ten (10) business days following written notice (email acceptable) from Sumo Logic that such account is past due, then Sumo Logic may (without limiting its other rights and remedies) accelerate your unpaid Fee obligation under this Agreement, so that all obligations become immediately due and payable – and suspend Services until such amounts are paid in full. Suspension shall not relieve your obligations to pay amounts due. Any amount due under this Agreement that remains unpaid after its due date will bear interest from the date that such payment became delinquent until the date such amount is paid in full at the lower of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law. You will pay Sumo Logic all costs and expenses of collection (including attorneys' fees) incurred by Sumo Logic in collecting any amounts past due under this Agreement.
4.3 Taxes. Fees under this Agreement are exclusive of all taxes including any sales, use, excise, VAT, GST, import or similar taxes, which may be levied for products or services provided pursuant to this Agreement. Unless You provide Sumo Logic with a valid exemption certificate, You will pay all taxes, duties, levies, or similar charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, provincial or local governmental authorities excluding only taxes based solely on Sumo Logic’s net income.
4.4 Tax Withholding. In the event You are required to withhold taxes (“Withholding Tax(es)”) for any payment under this Agreement by virtue of the statutes, laws, codes or governmental regulations of a country or state, then You will pay Sumo Logic the amount due net the applicable tax withheld, which will be remitted to the relevant tax authority. You will agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and apply for a reduced treaty withholding rate. You will provide Sumo Logic with a copy of the Tax Receipt or Tax Certificate for the Withholding Tax paid. You also agree to provide Sumo Logic with such assistance as may be reasonably requested by Sumo Logic to enable Sumo Logic to claim a refund and/or credit for such Withholding Tax.
4.5 Non-Refundable and Non-Cancellable. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, all payment obligations under all Order Forms are non-cancellable and all payments are non-refundable.
4.6 Invoicing. You will provide Sumo Logic with valid and updated credit card information. If You provide credit card information, then You authorize Sumo Logic to charge such credit card for all Services listed in the Order Form for the initial Subscription Term and any renewal Subscription Term(s). Such charges will be made in advance, either annually or in accordance with any different billing frequency stated in the applicable Order Form. If the Order Form specifies that payment will be by a method other than a credit card, then Sumo Logic will invoice You in advance and otherwise in accordance with the relevant Order Form. You will provide Sumo Logic with a valid purchase order to the extent that You require a purchase order for invoicing. You are responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information, and notifying Sumo Logic of any changes to such information.
4.7 Purchase Orders. No purchase orders sent by You will be deemed to modify or otherwise supplement this Agreement. For clarity, a purchase order sent by You with additional terms will be deemed null and void (even if the purchase order is acknowledged with a signature or otherwise referenced for purposes of processing invoices).
4.8 Resellers. If You obtain the Services from a reseller authorized by Sumo Logic (“Reseller”) through an Order Form executed with Reseller, then any fees, including refunds and credits, will solely be by and between Reseller and You. Reseller is not authorized to make any changes to this Agreement or bind Sumo Logic to any additional or different terms or conditions. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4.7 (Resellers) affects suspension rights or deactivation rights for Sumo Logic or a Reseller.
5. TERMINATION
5.1 Term. Each Order Form (or trial, or other applicable contract) will define the specific duration of access to the Services (each a “Subscription Term”). The term of this Agreement commences on the date You first accept it and continues until all Subscription Terms have expired or have been terminated (the “Term”).
5.2 Renewal. Except as otherwise specified in your Order Form, upon expiration of an applicable Subscription Term, such Subscription Term will automatically renew for another Subscription Term of equal duration and with the same scope of Services, at Sumo Logic’s then current list price, unless: (i) You cancel at least thirty (30) days prior to your renewal date, in accordance with the notice provisions herein; or (ii) we cancel your subscription prior to the expiration of the then-current Subscription Term. You will be billed in accordance with the payment schedule specified in the applicable Order Form. Cancelling your subscription means that You will not be charged for the next billing cycle, but You will not receive any refunds or credits for amounts that have already been charged. You will not be permitted to cancel or downgrade the Services that You have selected until the anniversary date. All renewals are subject to the applicable Services continuing to be offered and will be charged at the then-current rates.
5.3 Termination for Cause. In the event of any material breach of this Agreement, the non-breaching party may terminate this Agreement by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to the breaching party; provided, however, that this Agreement will not terminate if the breaching party has cured the breach prior to the expiration of such thirty-day period. Either party may terminate this Agreement, without notice, (a) upon the institution by or against the other party of insolvency, receivership or bankruptcy proceedings, (b) upon the other party's making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (c) upon the other party's dissolution or ceasing to do business. In the event the Agreement is terminated, all Order Forms are simultaneously terminated. If Sumo Logic terminates in accordance with this Section 5.4 (Termination for Cause), then any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the then-current Subscription Term will become immediately due.

5.5 Refund or Payment upon Termination. If this Agreement is terminated by You in accordance with Section 5.3 (Termination for Cause), then Sumo Logic will refund You any prepaid Fees covering the remainder of the Subscription Term after the effective date of the termination. If this Agreement is terminated by Sumo Logic in accordance with Section 5.3 (Termination for Cause), then You will pay any unpaid Fees covering the remainder of the Subscription Term. In no event will termination relieve You of its obligation to pay any Fees payable to Sumo Logic for the period prior to the effective date of termination.
