This Agreement is part of a package that includes one or more network appliance machines and associated Software (defined below) and certain electronic and/or written materials. This Agreement covers your permitted use of the Network Appliance (defined below) and Software. BY CLICKING BELOW YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, UNDERSTAND THEM, AND AGREE TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY THEM. If you do not agree with the terms of this Agreement, you may not use the Network Appliance or any Software. In such event, promptly return the entire package to the place you obtained it for a full refund. As used in this Agreement, "Network Appliance" means the combination of Sourcefire's network security products, the Sourcefire Software and any Open Source Software, including the various hardware components and any patches, updates, improvements, additions and other modifications or revised versions that may be provided by Sourcefire from time to time. "Sourcefire Software" means any Sourcefire or other software products or firmware provided by Sourcefire for use with or as part of a Network Appliance or separately therefrom, excluding any and all Open Source Programs. "Open Source Software" means the open source code software programs that are provided to you for use as part of a Network Appliance. "Software" means collectively the Sourcefire Software and the Open Source Software.
1. YOUR PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS. You agree to pay all amounts due or incurred by you, including any late payment fees, as are specified in an invoice provided by Sourcefire or its designated reseller (the "Reseller"). If any authority imposes a duty, tax or similar levy (other than taxes based on Sourcefire's or its Reseller's income), you agree to pay, or to promptly reimburse Sourcefire or its Reseller, as applicable, for all such amounts. You are also responsible for paying all shipping charges. Unless otherwise indicated in an invoice, all invoices are payable thirty (30) days from the date of invoice. Overdue amounts are subject to a late payment interest charge, at the lower rate of (i) one percent (1%) per month, or (ii) the maximum legal rate. You agree to promptly pay or reimburse Sourcefire or its Reseller, as applicable, for all costs and expenses, including all reasonable attorneys' fees, related to any breach of your obligations under this Agreement.
2. TITLE. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, title, except to the extent the Network Appliance contains or consists of intellectual property rights of Sourcefire or other third parties, and risk of loss to each Network Appliance purchased is transferred to you when the Network Appliance is delivered to Sourcefire's designated carrier for shipment.
3. GRANT OF SOFTWARE LICENSE. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Sourcefire grants to you a nonexclusive, non-transferable license (the "Sourcefire License") to use the Sourcefire Software as part of the Network Appliance solely for your internal operations and internal security purposes. Such Sourcefire Software may be delivered to
34
you pre-installed on a Network Appliance, on a recorded or fixed media, or downloaded electronically from Sourcefire's web site. You shall own the magnetic or other physical media upon which the Sourcefire Software is originally or subsequently recorded or fixed, but Sourcefire or Sourcefire licensors retain all title, copyright and other intellectual proprietary rights in, and ownership of, the Sourcefire Software regardless of the media upon which the original or any copy may be recorded or fixed. Any rights in Software not granted herein are expressly reserved by Sourcefire. Any rights in Software not granted herein are expressly reserved bySourcefire or Sourcefire licensors.
4. OPEN SOURCE TERMS. You acknowledge that each Open Source Program is distributed under the Open Source Program license applicable to such Open Source Program, and only such license, and this Agreement in no ways supplements or detracts from any term or conditions of such open source license agreement (the "Open Source License"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, you agree and acknowledge that the rights attached to any Open Source Programs provided hereunder are separate from and do not depend on the Open Source Programs being part of the Software or Network Appliance.
5. SCOPE OF USE. Except to the extent allowed under the applicable Open Source License, the Software may only be used by you with the Network Appliance for which the Software is provided and registered for use. If any Software is provided on separate media (e.g., a CD-ROM), you may make a reasonable number of copies solely for internal backup purposes.
6. NO REVERSE ENGINEERING, OTHER RESTRICTIONS. Except to the extent allowed under the applicable Open Source License, you shall not directly or indirectly: (i) sell, lease, redistribute or transfer any of the Software; (ii) modify, translate, reverse engineer (except to the limited extent permitted by law), decompile, disassemble, create derivative works based on, sublicense, or distribute any of the Software; (iii) rent or lease any rights in any of the Software in any form to any person; (iv) use any Software for the benefit of any third parties (e.g., in an ASP, outsourcing or service bureau relationship) or in any way other than in its intended manner; (v) remove, alter or obscure any proprietary notice, labels, or marks on the hardware components of the Network Appliance or any Software; or (vi) disable or circumvent any access control or related device, process or procedure established with respect to the Network Appliance, including any Software or any other part thereof. You are responsible for all use of the Network Appliance (including any Software) and for compliance with this Agreement; any breach by you or any user shall be deemed to have been made by you.
7. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. Unless otherwise expressly stated herein, this Agreement does not transfer to you any title or any ownership right or interest in any Software or in any intellectual property rights in the Network Appliance. You acknowledge that the Software is owned by Sourcefire and its licensors, and that the Software and Network Appliance contain, embody and are based on patented or patentable inventions, trade secrets, copyrights and other intellectual property rights owned by Sourcefire and its licensors.
8. TECHNICAL SUPPORT. You may obtain technical support by separately enrolling in Sourcefire's maintenance and support plan (the "Support Plan" see http://www.sourcefire.com/services/support.html) by paying Sourcefire the then-applicable
35
annual maintenance and support fee. A copy of the terms of the current Support Plan is located at https://support.sourcefire.com/Support- T&C.pdf.
9. CONFIDENTIALITY. As used herein, "Confidential Information" means any non-public technical or business information of Sourcefire (or its licensors), including without limitation, any information, relating to Sourcefire's techniques, algorithms, software, know-how, current and future products and services, research, engineering, designs, financial information, procurement requirements, manufacturing, customer lists, business forecasts, marketing plans and information, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and any other information of Sourcefire (or its licensors) that is disclosed in writing to you or that is disclosed orally and is identified as "Confidential" at the time of disclosure. You will take all reasonable measures to maintain the confidentiality of Sourcefire's Confidential Information, but in no event less than the measures you use to protect your own confidential information. You will limit the disclosure of Sourcefire's Confidential Information to your employees with a bona fide need to access such Confidential Information in order to exercise your rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that all such employees are bound by a written non-disclosure agreement that contains restrictions at least as protective as those set forth herein. You agree that Sourcefire will suffer irreparable harm in the event that you breach any obligations under this Section 9 and that monetary damages will be inadequate to compensate Sourcefire for such breach. In the event of a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Section 9, Sourcefire, in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights, remedies or damages available to it at law or in equity, shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction and/or permanent injunction in order to prevent or to restrain any such breach.
10. WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER. Sourcefire warrants that, for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of initial shipment of the Network Appliance (the "Software Warranty Period"), the unmodified Software will, under normal use, substantially perform the functions described in its Documentation. "Documentation" means Sourcefire's release notes or other similar instructions in hard copy or machine readable form supplied by Sourcefire to you that describes the functionality of the Network Appliance and/or Software purchased or licensed hereunder. Sourcefire warrants that for a period of one (1) year from shipment (the "Hardware Warranty Period") the unmodified hardware portions of the Network Appliance will, under normal use, be free of substantial defects in materials and workmanship. Any and all Open Source Programs provided under this Agreement are provided "AS IS". THE FOREGOING EXPRESS WARRANTIES REPLACE AND ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS BY THE PARTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED OR OTHER WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE OR NONINFRINGEMENT. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE NETWORK APPLIANCE AND THE SOFTWARE ARE DESIGNED TO BE TOOLS TO ASSIST YOU IN YOUR SECURITY PROGRAMS; SOURCEFIRE MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT ANY NETWORK APPLIANCE OR ANY SOFTWARE WILL OPERATE ERROR-FREE, FREE OF ANY SECURITY DEFECTS OR IN AN UNINTERRUPTED MANNER. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, ALL OPEN SOURCE PROGRAMS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY WHATSOEVER. THE WARRANTY MADE BY SOURCEFIRE MAY BE VOIDED BY ABUSE OR MISUSE.
36
11. EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. Sourcefire's sole obligation and liability, and your sole and exclusive remedy under the warranties set forth in Section 10 shall be for Sourcefire to use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy the problem, or to replace the defective product, provided that Sourcefire is notified in writing of all warranty problems during the applicable warranty period.
12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT WILL SOURCEFIRE's AGGREGATE LIABILITY (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LIABILITY FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, MISREPRESENTATION AND OTHER CONTRACT OR TORT CLAIMS) ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE USE OF THE NETWORK APPLIANCE OR SOFTWARE, EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF FEES YOU PAID TO SOURCEFIRE OR ITS RESELLER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR THE NETWORK APPLIANCE THAT GIVES RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY.
13. EXCLUSION OF OTHER DAMAGES. UNLESS OTHERWISE PERMITTED HEREUNDER, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL SOURCEFIRE OR ANY OF ITS SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: (I) THIRD PARTY CLAIMS; (II) LOSS OR DAMAGE TO ANY SYSTEMS, RECORDS OR DATA, OR LIABILITIES RELATED TO A VIOLATION OF AN INDIVIDUAL's PRIVACY RIGHTS; OR (III) INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, RELIANCE, OR COVER DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS AND LOST SAVINGS), IN EACH CASE EVEN IF SOURCEFIRE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE AND LIABLE FOR VERIFYING THE SECURITY, ACCURACY AND ADEQUACY OF ANY OUTPUT FROM THE SOFTWARE AND ANY NETWORK APPLIANCE, AND FOR ANY RELIANCE THEREON.
14. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INDEMNITY. Sourcefire will defend any action brought against you to the extent that it is based upon a claim that the Sourcefire Software as provided by Sourcefire to you under this Agreement infringes any existing U.S. patent or copyright. Sourcefire will pay any costs, damages and reasonable attorneys' fees attributable to such claim that are finally awarded against you in such action. Sourcefire's obligations under this Section 14 are contingent upon: (i) you giving prompt written notice to Sourcefire of any such claim; (ii) you allowing Sourcefire to control the defense and any related settlement of any such claim; and (iii) you furnishing Sourcefire with reasonable assistance in the defense of any such claim, so long as Sourcefire pays your reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. This indemnity obligation does not extend to any Open Source Programs. If your use of the Network Appliance hereunder is, or in Sourcefire's opinion is likely to be, enjoined due to the type of claim specified in this section, then Sourcefire may, at its sole option and expense: (i) procure for you the right to continue using such Network Appliance under the terms of this Agreement; or (ii) replace or modify such Network Appliance so that it is non-infringing and substantially equivalent in function to the enjoined Network Appliance. Sourcefire will have no obligation for any claim of infringement to the extent that it results from: (i) modifications to the Network Appliance made other than by Sourcefire; or your failure to use updated or modified Network Appliances provided by Sourcefire to avoid a claim of infringement or misappropriation.
15. VERIFICATION. You agree that Sourcefire or its designee shall have the right to periodically conduct on-site audits of your use of the Network Appliance and the Software.
37
These audits will be conducted during regular business hours, and Sourcefire will make reasonable efforts to minimize interference with your regular business activities. Alternatively, Sourcefire may request that you complete a self-audit questionnaire in a form provided by Sourcefire. If an audit reveals unlicensed use of the Software, you agree to promptly order and pay for sufficient licenses to permit all usage disclosed.
16. LEGAL COMPLIANCE; RESTRICTED RIGHTS. You shall be responsible for, and agree to comply with, all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, regulations and other types of government authority (including without limitation the laws and regulations governing export control, unfair competition, anti-discrimination, false advertising, privacy and data protection, and publicity) ("Laws"). Without limiting the foregoing, you agree to comply with all U.S. export Laws and applicable export Laws of your locality (if you are not in the United States), and you further agree not to export any Network Appliances, Software or other materials provided by Sourcefire without first obtaining all required authorizations or licenses. The Network Appliance and the Software provided to the United States government are provided with only "LIMITED RIGHTS" and "RESTRICTED RIGHTS" as defined in FAR 52.227-14 if the commercial terms are deemed not to apply.
17. GOVERNING LAW; ARBITRATION. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York, USA, without regard to choice-of-law rules or principles. You expressly agree with Sourcefire that this Agreement shall not be governed by the U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Except for instance where equitable relief is permitted under this Agreement, any and all claims, disputes, or controversies arising under, out of, or in connection with this Agreement or the breach thereof, (herein "dispute") shall be submitted to the chief operating officer (or equivalent) of each party (or their designee) for a good faith attempt to resolve the dispute. The position of each party shall be submitted, and the individuals promptly thereafter shall meet at a neutral site. If the parties are unable to reach agreement within fifteen (15) days following such meeting, then any dispute which has not been resolved within said fifteen (15) days by good faith negotiations between the parties shall be resolved at the request of either party by final and binding arbitration. Arbitration shall be conducted in Washington, D.C., by three (3) arbitrators. The arbitrators shall be knowledgeable in the commercial aspects of software licensing, open source licensing, Internet applications, networking, network security, technical consulting services and copyright and patent law and otherwise in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Each party shall select one arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by the noticed party of the demand for arbitration delivered in the manner set forth herein for providing notice to the parties. The two arbitrators selected thereby shall promptly select the third arbitrator in accordance with this Section 17. If the initial two arbitrators are not selected by the parties within said fifteen (15) days, then the American Arbitration Association shall select the arbitrators. The arbitrators shall make detailed written findings to support their award. The arbitrators shall render their decision no more than sixty (60) days after the parties finally submit the claim, dispute or controversy to the panel. Judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
18. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal or unenforceable for any reason, then such provision shall be deemed to be restated so as to be
