CONFIGURATION AND IMPLEMENTATION SERVICES AGREEMENT

We will perform the C&I Services for you as set forth in each applicable Statement of Work. You will pay us the Fees as set forth in each applicable Statement of Work and in accordance with this C&I Services Agreement, or as we may otherwise expressly agree in an applicable Statement of Work.

Point of Contact. In each Statement of Work, we will designate a primary point of contact to you for all matters relating to the applicable C&I Services (which point of contact we may change upon notice to you).

Qualifications. The Personnel we assign to perform the C&I Services will be qualified, skilled, experienced, and otherwise fit for the performance of the C&I Services. If you, in your reasonable judgement, determine that Personnel assigned to your project are unfit, we will in good faith discuss alternatives, and we will replace Personnel as reasonably necessary. You acknowledge that any replacement of Personnel may cause delay in the performance of the C&I Services.

Personnel Conduct. Our Personnel are subject to our Splunk Code of Conduct and Ethics https://investors.splunk.com/code-business-conduct-and-ethics-1, which includes, without limitation, an obligation to comply with our policies on protecting customer information, prohibitions on illegal drugs and any impaired job performance, avoiding conflicts of interest, and acting ethically at all times. We also background check our employees, per the Section below.

Use of Subcontractors. We reserve the right to use subcontractors in performance of the C&I Services. All such subcontractors will meet the applicable requirements set forth in this C&I Services Agreement and the applicable Statement of Work. We will be responsible for our subcontractors’ compliance with this C&I Services Agreement and the applicable Statement of Work. Upon your request, we will identify any subcontractor that we are using or plan to use to provide C&I Services to you, and will cooperate in good faith to provide you with all relevant information regarding such subcontractors.

Employee Benefits. We acknowledge and agree that our Personnel are not eligible for or entitled to receive any compensation, benefits, or other incidents of employment that you make available to your employees. We are solely responsible for all employment related taxes, expenses, withholdings, and other similar statutory obligations arising out of the relationship between us and our Personnel and the performance of C&I Services by such Personnel.

Compliance with Your Security Program. While on your premises, our Personnel will comply with your security practices and procedures generally prescribed by you for onsite visitors and service providers, provided however that any requirement that is in addition to the compliance requirements set forth in this Section, including any background checks different from those stated below, must be expressly set forth in a Statement of Work. We agree to discuss in good faith any condition or requirement you may have for our Personnel that are different from our standard policies as set forth in this Section; however you acknowledge and agree that any additional requirement may delay C&I Services, and must be vetted and implemented by mutual agreement of the parties and expressly set forth in a Statement of Work. Splunk does not guarantee that it will be able to meet any such additional requested requirements.

Our Security Practices. We implement and follow an enterprise security program, with the policies, plans, and procedures set forth here www.splunk.com/prof-serv-isa. Our Personnel will be subject to the data protection and confidentiality obligations set forth in this C&I Services Agreement with respect to any of your data that we may have access to in connection with the C&I Services.

Background Checks. For U.S.-based projects, we will not assign an employee to perform C&I Services unless we have run the following background check on the employee: Criminal Felony & Misdemeanor; SSN Validation; Federal Criminal; SSN Trace; Employment Report – Three (3) Employers; Education Report – One (1) Institution; Global Sanctions & Enforcement; Prohibited Parties; Widescreen Plus National Criminal Search. You acknowledge that such background checks may not be permitted or customary outside the United States.

Permissions for Access. If you require any Personnel to sign any waivers, releases, or other documents as a condition to gain access to your premises for performance of the C&I Services (“Access Documents”), you agree that: (a) Personnel who will be required to sign Access Documents will sign on behalf of Splunk, (b) any additional or conflicting terms in Access Documents with this C&I Services Agreement will have no effect, and (c) you will pursue any claims for breach of any terms in the Access Documents against Splunk and not the individual signing such Access Documents.

We will not obtain any rights in or to your Customer Materials, except that you grant us the right to use Customer Materials in order to provide the C&I Services. Nothing in this C&I Services Agreement will be deemed to transfer to us any ownership of Customer Materials.

C&I Services Materials. The C&I Services we perform (e.g., configuration of our Offerings), and the C&I Services Materials we offer, create, and deliver to you in connection with the C&I Services, are generally applicable to our business, and therefore we need to be able to re-use the C&I Services Materials we create for one customer in connection with all of our customers. For the avoidance of doubt, our use of the C&I Services Materials created for you in connection with C&I Services will comply with our ongoing obligations and restrictions with respect to your Customer Materials and your Confidential Information, and we will not identify you in any way in connection with our further use of such C&I Services Materials.

Customer Owned Work Product. However, in the unlikely event that the parties agree that C&I Services Materials for a project are custom work product unique to your business, and not applicable to other customers generally, we will transfer ownership to those agreed C&I Services Materials to you under the applicable Statement of Work. C&I Services Materials must be expressly identified as “Customer Owned Work Product” under a Statement of Work for ownership to pass to you. Subject to payment of applicable Fees under the Statement of Work, we hereby assign to you all rights, title and interest (including all Intellectual Property Rights therein) in and to all C&I Services Materials identified as Customer Owned Work Product (but excluding all Pre-Existing Splunk IP incorporated into the Customer Owned Work Product). At your request and expense, we will assist and cooperate with you in all reasonable respects and will execute documents, and take such further acts reasonably requested by you to enable you to acquire, transfer, maintain, perfect and enforce your ownership rights in such Customer Owned Work Product.

Our Ownership. Subject to your ownership rights in Customer Owned Work Product and Customer Materials, we will own all rights in and to all C&I Services Materials.

You may submit written requests to us to change the scope of C&I Services under an existing Statement of Work (each such request, a “Change Statement of Work Request”). If we elect to consider a Change Statement of Work Request, then we will promptly notify you if we believe that the Change Statement of Work Request requires an adjustment to the fees or to the schedule for the performance of the applicable C&I Services. In such event, the parties will negotiate in good faith a reasonable and equitable adjustment to the fees and/or schedule, as applicable. We will continue to perform C&I Services pursuant to the existing Statement of Work and will have no obligation to perform any Change Statement of Work Request unless and until the parties have executed an applicable change order.

We warrant that the C&I Services will be performed in a good and workmanlike manner consistent with applicable industry standards. This warranty will be in effect for a period of thirty (30) days from the completion of any C&I Services. As your sole and exclusive remedy and our entire liability for any breach of the foregoing warranty, we will, at our option and expense, promptly re-perform any C&I Services that fail to meet this warranty or refund to you the Fees paid for the non-conforming C&I Services.

Except as expressly set forth above, the C&I Services are provided “as is” with no warranties or representations whatsoever, express or implied. Splunk and its suppliers and licensors disclaim all warranties and representations with respect to the C&I services, including any implied warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, noninfringement, or quiet enjoyment, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or trade usage.

You acknowledge that your timely provision of (and our access to) your facilities, equipment, assistance, cooperation, data, information and materials from your officers, agents and employees (the “Cooperation”) is essential to Splunk’s performance of the C&I Services. We will not be liable for any delay or deficiency in performing the C&I Services if you do not provide the necessary Cooperation. As part of the Cooperation, you will (1) designate a project manager or technical lead to liaise with us while we perform the C&I Services, (2) allocate and engage additional resources as may be required to assist us in performing the C&I Services, and (3) make available to us any data, information and any other materials reasonably required by us to perform the C&I Services, including any data, information or materials specifically identified in an applicable Statement of Work.

Confidential Information. Each party will protect the Confidential Information of the other. Accordingly, Receiving Party agrees to: (i) protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information using the same degree of care (but in no event less than reasonable care) that it uses to protect its own Confidential Information of a similar nature; (ii) limit use of Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information for purposes consistent with this C&I Services Agreement, and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to limit access to Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to its employees, contractors and agents or those of its affiliates who have a bona fide need to access such Confidential Information for purposes consistent with this C&I Services Agreement and who are subject to confidentiality obligations no less stringent than those herein.

Compelled Disclosure of Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if it is compelled by law enforcement agencies or regulators to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a Party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to such Confidential Information.

Fees. You will receive invoices on a regular basis for all applicable C&I Services, or as otherwise set forth in a Statement of Work. You agree to pay all Fees for C&I Services specified in the Statement of Works within 30 days from the date of Splunk’s invoice or as otherwise stated in a Statement of Work. Fees are non-cancelable and non-refundable, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this C&I Services Agreement. Without limiting any of our other rights or remedies herein, overdue charges will accrue interest monthly at the rate of 1.5% of the then-outstanding unpaid balance, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower.

At the end of the twelve (12) month term, any remaining pre-paid unused C&I Services will expire; no refunds will be provided for any remaining pre-paid unused C&I Services.
