IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MAY NOT USE THE SERVICE. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

    1. “Local Software” means SWIMLANE’s proprietary security orchestration, automation and response software (the “Licensed Software”), that is delivered to Licensee as provided in the Quote for use as an on-premises software solution in Licensee’s computing environment.
    2. “SaaS Software” means the cloud-based version of the Licensed Software to which Licensee is granted access as provided in the Quote.
    3. “Proprietary Information” means all information that is disclosed by a party to the other party in connection with this Agreement that is (i) conveyed in written, graphic, machine readable or other tangible form and conspicuously marked “confidential,” “proprietary” or in some other manner to indicate its confidential nature; (ii) conveyed orally, provided that such information is designated as “confidential” or “proprietary” at the time of such oral disclosure or within thirty (30) days after the date of oral disclosure; (iii) the Licensed Software; (iv) a party’s business and customer information, product plans and product and technology roadmaps, whether or not marked “proprietary” or “confidential”; and (v) any information, data or know-how derived from the items in (i)-(iv).

    3. Feedback. To the extent Licensee, its employees, or any end users of the Licensed Software provide SWIMLANE with any suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, recommendations or feedback regarding the Licensed Software, or SWIMLANE otherwise conceives of or creates any ideas, enhancements, improvements, or modifications to the Licensed Software (collectively, “Feedback and Improvements”), SWIMLANE will be free to use, disclose, commercialize, license, and exploit such Feedback and Improvements in SWIMLANE’s sole discretion without any restriction or compensation to Licensee or any third party.

    1. Nondisclosure or Use. Each party agrees that it shall not disclose any Proprietary Information of the other party to anyone without the written consent of the other party, except that each party may: (i) use the Proprietary Information of the other party to, but only to, carry out the activities permitted hereunder; and (ii) disclose the Proprietary Information of the disclosing party to the receiving party’s employees, contractors, consultants, and agents who have a need to know such Proprietary Information in order to exercise the rights and fulfill the obligations of the receiving party and who are bound by a written confidentiality agreement with confidentiality provisions no less stringent than those contained in this Agreement. The standard of care to be exercised by the receiving party to meet the obligations in this Section 5 shall be the standard exercised by the receiving party with respect to its own confidential or proprietary information of a similar nature, but in no event less than reasonable care.
    2. Permitted Disclosures. The receiving party may disclose Proprietary Information pursuant to a valid order issued by a court or government agency, provided that the receiving party provides, without delay, to the disclosing party written notice of such disclosure requirement and cooperates with the disclosing party if the disclosing party seeks to limit or oppose such disclosure.
    3. Ownership and Return of Proprietary Information. All Proprietary Information of a disclosing party shall remain the sole property of such disclosing party. Upon the termination of this Agreement, or at any time upon written request of the disclosing party, the receiving party shall return the disclosing party’s Proprietary Information and not keep any copies thereof.
  6. Payment Terms.
    1. Software License Fees. Licensee will pay SWIMLANE the license fees and other fees set forth in the Quote (the “License Fees”) at the time and in the manner set forth in the Quote. Licensee will have no right to set off any amounts due under this Agreement and all payments are non-refundable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Licensee is using the SaaS Software, Licensee may be entitled to credits in the event that SWIMLANE is unable to provide the uptime commitments as set forth in Exhibit B. All payments are further subject to any additional terms and conditions set forth in the Quote. If Licensee’s use of the Licensed Software exceeds the usage outlined in a Quote (such as if the events used by Licensee exceed the number of events licensed under a Quote) then Licensee agrees to negotiate revised pricing in good faith with SWIMLANE in order to align Licensee’s License Fees with Licensee’s actual usage of the Licensed Software.
    2. Taxes. All License Fees exclude any sales, use, excise, import, export, value added, universal service charge, withholding or other similar taxes or governmental charges, including any related penalties and interests however designated, other than taxes based on the net income of SWIMLANE (collectively “Taxes”). Licensee agrees to pay any Taxes imposed on Licensee’s use or operation of the Licensed Software pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
    3. Late Payments. In the event Licensee fails to make any payments when due under this Agreement, Licensee may be charged a late fee on any amount that is not paid when due at a rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate allowed by applicable law, whichever is lower, calculated from the due date until the date paid. SWIMLANE may further suspend any or all access to the Licensed Software until all amounts due and late fees are paid in full.
    4. Audit. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, Licensee will maintain accurate and complete records and books of account, which will include, at a minimum, all documentation necessary to compute and verify the License Fees and the accuracy of all information reported to SWIMLANE hereunder. At any time, upon no less than thirty (30) days’ written notice, SWIMLANE and its auditors will have the right to examine Licensee’s books and records related to the Licensed Software during normal business hours for the purpose of verifying Licensee’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the correctness of all amounts paid or payable to SWIMLANE under this Agreement. Any such audit shall be conducted at SWIMLANE’s cost and expense. If such audit correctly reveals an underpayment, Licensee will promptly pay SWIMLANE the amount of underpayment plus any late payments owed pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof. In addition, if such underpayment is in excess of five percent (5%) of the amounts actually due to SWIMLANE, Licensee shall reimburse SWIMLANE for the reasonable out-of-pocket and documented costs actually incurred by SWIMLANE as a result of the audit. 
  7. Disclaimer. By its nature, the Licensed Software may contain errors, bugs, and other problems that could cause system failure. In addition, the Licensed Software may not have adequate documentation, and any documentation in existence may be inaccurate or incomplete. SWIMLANE DOES NOT REPRESENT, WARRANT OR GUARANTY THAT (A) THE LICENSED SOFTWARE WILL BE 100% SECURE OR ERROR-FREE OR OPERATE IN COMBINATION WITH ANY OTHER APPLICATION, SOFTWARE, HARDWARE, SERVICE OR DATA; (B) THE LICENSED SOFTWARE WILL MEET LICENSEE’S REQUIREMENTS OR EXPECTATIONS; (C) ANY DATA STORED USING THE LICENSED SOFTWARE WILL BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, OR SECURE; (D) ERRORS OR DEFECTS IN THE LICENSED SOFTWARE WILL BE CORRECTED; (E) THE LICENSED SOFTWARE IS FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS;  OR (F) THE LICENSED SOFTWARE WILL DETECT, ALERT LICENSEE TO, RESPOND TO, OR RESOLVE ANY GIVEN SECURITY THREAT OR BREACH.  EXCEPT AS SET FORTH HEREIN, SWIMLANE PROVIDES THE LICENSED SOFTWARE TO LICENSEE ON AN “AS-IS” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND SWIMLANE MAKES NO WARRANTY REGARDING THE LICENSED SOFTWARE, ANY RELATED DOCUMENTATION, OR THE USE OR OPERATION OF THE LICENSED SOFTWARE, AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AVAILABILITY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. LICENSEE MAKES NO WARRANTY REGARDING ANY FEEDBACK PROVIDED HEREUNDER AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR OTHERWISE.
  8. Indemnification; Consequential Damages Waiver; Limitation of Liability.
    1. Indemnification by SWIMLANE. SWIMLANE will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Licensee and its officers, directors, employees, and contractors (“Licensee Indemnified Entities”) from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, and other expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) to the extent resulting from any claim or suit asserted by a third party against a Licensee Indemnified Entity that the Licensed Software, as and in the form provided by SWIMLANE, infringes such third party’s intellectual property rights; provided, however, that SWIMLANE shall have no obligations under this Section 8.1 if and to the extent any such claim or suit, or any resulting liabilities, losses, damages, costs, or other expenses, are based on: (i) SWIMLANE’s compliance with any explicit instructions or specifications provided by Licensee; (ii) the modification of the Licensed Software by anyone other than SWIMLANE; (iii) the combination of the Licensed Software with any product, software, or service not provided by SWIMLANE; (iv) a Licensee Indemnified Entity’s continued use of the Licensed Software after SWIMLANE has provided the Licensee Indemnified Entity with a new version or update to such Licensed Software that no longer infringes; (v) a Licensee Indemnified Entity’s misuse of the Licensed Software (including any use outside of the express scope of the licenses granted hereunder); (vi) hardware or software applications of Licensee (each of (i)-(vi) hereof, an “Excluded Claim”); or (vii) any open source software used or incorporated into the Licensed Software. SWIMLANE’s obligations under this Section 8.1 are conditioned on: (a) Licensee promptly notifying SWIMLANE in writing of the applicable claim or suit; (b) SWIMLANE being granted sole control of the defense and/or settlement thereof; and (c) the Licensee Indemnified Entity furnishing to SWIMLANE, on request, all relevant information available to such Licensee Indemnified Entity and reasonable cooperation for such defense. The obligations provided in this Section 8.1 shall be the sole obligation of SWIMLANE and the exclusive remedy of the Licensee Indemnified Entities with respect to any infringement claims based on the Licensed Software. If SWIMLANE believes that a Licensee Indemnified Entity is, or may become, prohibited from continued use of any Licensed Software by reason of an actual or anticipated infringement claim or suit then, at SWIMLANE’s option, SWIMLANE will use its reasonable efforts to: (1) obtain for such Licensee Indemnified Entity the right to continue to use the Licensed Software as permitted hereunder; or (2) replace or modify the Licensed Software so that it is no longer subject to such claim or suit. If the options described in clauses (1) and (2) above are not reasonably available to SWIMLANE then SWIMLANE has the right not to continue to provide such portion of the Licensed Software that is the subject matter of the claim or suit, and the Licensee Indemnified Entity’s license to such portion of the Licensed Software will immediately terminate.
    2. Indemnification by Licensee. Licensee will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SWIMLANE and its officers, directors, employees, and contractors from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, and other expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any claim or suit arising out of or related to (i) Licensee’s breach of this Agreement; (ii) any use (except to the extent SWIMLANE is obligated to indemnify Licensee as provided in Section 8.1), or misuse of the Licensed Software by any Licensee Indemnified Entity or any of their end users of the Licensed Software; or (iii) any Excluded Claim.
    3. Consequential Damages Waiver. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO THE OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 5 AND SECTION 8, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR THE COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF DATA, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS OR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, HOWEVER INCURRED, WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY IS ASSERTED ON THE BASIS OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY), OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY IS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE BY THE OTHER PARTY.
    4. Limitation of Liability. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE TOTAL, CUMULATIVE LIABILITY OF SWIMLANE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY CONTRACT YEAR EXCEED THE LICENSE FEES ACTUALLY PAID TO SWIMLANE DURING THE IMMEDIATELY PRIOR CONTRACT YEAR.
  9. Term and Termination.
    1. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date of the initial delivery or provision of the Licensed Software to Licensee and shall continue for the term set forth in the Quote (and may be extended by written mutual agreement), unless earlier terminated as set forth below.
    2. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by either party immediately upon written notice to the other party if the other Party materially breaches this Agreement which breach remains uncured for thirty (30) days after written notice of such breach is given by the aggrieved party to the breaching party. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason: (i) the licenses granted pursuant to Section 2 shall simultaneously terminate; (ii) Licensee and all end users and customers thereof shall immediately cease all use of the Licensed Software; (iii) each party shall return the Proprietary Information of the other party (and not keep any copies of the other party’s Proprietary Information) in accordance with Section 5.3; and (iv) Sections 1, 3, 4, 5.3, 6, 7, 8, 9.2, and 10 (other than Section 10.10) shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the termination or expiration of this Agreement will not relieve either party of any liability or obligation that accrued prior to such termination or expiration. In addition, if this Agreement is terminated by SWIMLANE due to Licensee’s uncured material breach, then Licensee will immediately pay to SWIMLANE any and all amounts that would have been owed or otherwise payable to SWIMLANE during the term of the Agreement had it not been terminated early.
  10. General.
    1. Relationship. The parties are each independent contractors, and neither party shall be, nor represent itself to be, the franchiser, joint venturer, franchisee, partner, broker, employee, servant, agent, or legal representative, of the other party for any purpose whatsoever. Neither party is granted any right or authority to assume or create any obligation or responsibility, express or implied, on behalf of or in the name of the other party or bind the other party in any manner whatsoever.
    2. Entire Agreement; Counterparts; Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement (including all Exhibits and Schedules hereto) constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous written and oral agreements, representations and communications between the Parties relating to such transactions. In the event of any conflict between the precedence of this Agreement and any other agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, this Agreement shall govern and control.  This Agreement may be executed by electronic signature, facsimile, or PDF, and in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, or supplemented, except by a signed writing of all parties hereto. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single exercise, any single failure to exercise, or a partial exercise of a right, power or privilege hereunder preclude the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party.
    3. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of such provision to any person or circumstance shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable or void, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such provisions as applied to other persons, places and circumstances shall remain in full force and effect, and such invalid or unenforceable provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent possible in order to implement the intent of the parties.
    4. Notice. Any notice required or permitted to be given by either party under this Agreement shall be in writing, and shall be personally delivered, sent by e-mail with confirmation of receipt, sent by certified or registered mail, or sent by a nation-wide courier service, to the other party at its address set forth in this Agreement, or such new address as may from time to time be supplied by the parties hereto in accordance with this Section 10.4. If personally delivered, notices will be deemed delivered and effective on the date of personal delivery. If sent by e-mail, then notices will be deemed delivered and effective upon the date of confirmation of receipt by the recipient. If delivered by a nation-wide courier service, then notices will be deemed delivered and effective on the date of receipt.
    5. Captions and Headings. All captions and headings are for reference only and shall not be considered in interpreting or construing this Agreement.
    6. Assignment; Subcontracting. This Agreement may not be assigned or delegated by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not be withheld unreasonably. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may, without such consent, assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder to a purchaser of all or substantially all the assets of such party, or a third party participating in a merger, acquisition, sale of assets or other corporate reorganization in which such party is participating, provided that the assignee agrees to perform all obligations of assignee hereunder.  Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. SWIMLANE may subcontract any or all of its obligations under this Agreement without Licensee’s consent, provided that SWIMLANE will remain responsible for such subcontractor’s performance hereunder.
    7. Injunctive Relief. The parties acknowledge that any breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement may cause irreparable harm and significant injury to SWIMLANE, the extent of which may be extremely difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, Licensee agrees that SWIMLANE will have, in addition to any other rights or remedies it may have available at law or in equity, the right to seek injunctive relief, without posting bond, to enjoin any breach or violation of such provisions.
    8. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to conflicts of law principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods is specifically disclaimed. Any dispute or controversy arising from or relating to this Agreement must be arbitrated in Wilmington, Delaware before a single arbitrator who is jointly selected and mutually approved by the parties or, if the parties are unable to or fail to agree on the selection of the arbitrator within fifteen (15) days of the demand for arbitration being served, who is appointed by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS) in accordance with its rules. The arbitrator shall serve as a neutral, independent, and impartial arbitrator. The arbitration will be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (and in accordance with the expedited procedures in those rules), or, if applicable, in accordance with the JAMS International Arbitration Rules. The results of the arbitration procedure will be considered the Proprietary Information of both parties. Any arbitration decision rendered will be final and binding, and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the above, neither party will be required to arbitrate a dispute relating to the misuse or misappropriation or any Proprietary Information or the infringement of intellectual property rights, which dispute shall be brought in the federal and state courts in Wilmington, Delaware, and each party hereby consents to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such disputes. The parties agree that any and all process directly to any of them in any such litigation may be served outside the State of Delaware with the same force and effect as if the service had been made within the State of Delaware and that service of process may be effected in accordance with Section 10.4 hereof.
    9. Force Majeure. SWIMLANE shall not be in default by reason of any failure in performance of its obligations if such failure arises out of causes beyond the control (whether caused directly or indirectly) of SWIMLANE. Such causes m include, but are not restricted to: Acts of God or of the public enemy; acts of government (including specifically but not exclusively any orders, rules, or regulations issued by any official or agency of any such government) in either its sovereign or contractual capacity; riots; fires; earthquake; floods; epidemics; quarantine restrictions; embargoes; strikes; labor difficulties; delays or interruptions in performance by suppliers or subcontractors; unusually severe weather; shortages in labor, fuel, materials and supplies; internet connectivity problems; hacking of any facilities, resources, or infrastructure (whether of SWIMLANE or any third party service provider thereof); or any combination thereof.
    10. Marketing, Demo, and Co-marketing. SWIMLANE may use Licensee’s name, logo, and trademarks, in printed, audio, and digital formats and on SWIMLANE’s websites, for the purpose of advertising and marketing the Licensed Software, provided that no quotes or other attributions will be made to Licensee without Licensee’s prior written consent. Licensee and SWIMLANE may publicly refer to the other party as a licensor and a customer, respectively.

  • The hardware, software, servers, networks, or other infrastructure of Licensee, including as a result of any bugs, errors, breakdowns, or faults of any of the foregoing, or outdated software or firmware; or
  • Limitations on the bandwidth of Licensee’s internet connection or the failure of the internet connection to handle the number of users accessing the SaaS Software.

Credit Request

To receive a credit under this Addendum, Licensee must request the credit directly by sending an email to Swimlane at [email protected] within five days of the end of the applicable month. If Licensee is past due or in default with respect to any payment or any material contractual obligations to Swimlane, Licensee shall not be eligible for any credit under this Addendum. Swimlane shall calculate any service level downtime using Swimlane’s system logs and other records.

Our mission

The Swimlane mission is to automate the world of cybersecurity, helping security and IT professionals overcome the struggles of alert fatigue, vendor proliferation and chronic staffing shortages. But our work doesn’t end there. Our commitment extends beyond our core business objectives as a responsible and ethical participant in the global community. 

At Swimlane, we recognize we have an impact on the world in which we live and the people we interact with. This includes our employees, our customers and suppliers, the communities in which we live and work, and the environment. As such, Swimlane is committed to operating in an economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable manner, while recognizing the interests of its stakeholders. 

Our standard

At Swimlane, we have implemented and maintained a commitment to be a responsible corporate citizen and positive contributor to the global community since our founding. We expect all of our employees to hold themselves to the highest ethical standards, and our corporate mission mandates that we will strive to positively impact the people we work with, the customers we serve, and the communities we live in. 

We live these values continuously through our policies and our actions, working to empower personal and professional growth for all of our employees, embrace diversity and inclusion as a tenet of our identity, and follow responsible business practices and standards in our all dealings with clients and suppliers. This includes giving back our time, money, and resources, when possible, to our communities through philanthropy, volunteering, and/or personal engagement.

Our action

Swimlane strives to be a responsible business representing the highest standards of ethics and professionalism. We continuously review global best practice guidelines and standards, and strive to maintain awareness of current environmental issues, informing, educating, and standing alongside our employees to improve the environment and minimize our impact through the adoption of sustainable practices.

Swimlane’s social responsibilities are defined by both compliance and proactiveness. We are committed to upholding all legal requirements, and our willingness to observe, acknowledge, and respect community values and laws. Our proactiveness is manifested by emphasizing and recognizing human rights locally and globally, and actively engaging with our communities through volunteering, community service, pro-bono service, and philanthropy, while always protecting and respecting our natural environment through our actions and policies.

For our employees, we implement policies and take action to drive diversity and inclusion by fostering an environment where all team members are empowered to share their diverse perspectives and experiences so we can ultimately be better together. Our policies, practices, programs, activities, and decisions regarding employment, hiring, assignment, promotion, compensation, volunteerism, and internships are not based on a person’s race, color, sex, age, religion, national origin, mental or physical disability, ancestry, military discharge status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, source of income, parental status, housing status, or other protected status. We strongly encourage women, people of color, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and members of the LGBTQ community to join the company and live the shared values of Swimlane.

Our commitments

At Swimlane, we will:

  • Respect and uphold applicable local, state, and federal laws to the best of our abilities
  • Honor and review all internal policies for complete and responsible implementation
  • Ensure that all business transactions and relationships are legitimate, free of influence and bribery
  • Keep all partnerships and collaborations transparent and open
  • Recognize that privacy is a fundamental right, and we will comply with all privacy laws and expectations. In addition, we will work whenever possible to ensure that we respect the ability for all to manage their personal data.

If a provision of our policy conflicts with applicable local legal requirements, we will work to develop country-specific policies in order to accommodate the differing local regulations/legal requirements.
