2. Service.

2.1. Provision of Service. Splunk will make the Service available to you during the Subscription Term identified on the Order Document.

Subject to and conditioned on Customer’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Customer may (i) access and use the Site and the Services in accordance with the Documentation and this Agreement, and (ii) access and use the results, reports and other information generated with respect to the performance of the Customer App that is made available to Customer through the Services (including copies of such results, reports and other information), in each case to monitor, maintain and improve the Customer App.

2.3. Purchased Capacity. The Service is provided to Customer according to the usage capacity that Customer purchases, as listed on the Order Document. If Customer exceeds such limitation, then promptly upon Splunk’s request, Customer agrees to execute an Order Document for such additional usage, as may be applicable, payable pursuant to Section 9. Any other access to and use of the Site or Service is strictly prohibited.

3. Software.

3.1. License to Software. Access to the Service may require or allow for use of one or more Software. Use of all Software is subject to the end user license agreement provided or referenced by Splunk in connection with such Software.

3.2. End User Requirements . For each distribution and copy of the Customer App that contains the Splunk SDK, Customer will require the applicable End User to enter into a legally binding license agreement with Customer that, at a minimum, complies with the following (such criteria, the “End User Requirements”): (a) limits the license grant to use of the Customer App by the End User on the applicable mobile device(s) on a specified mobile platform; (b) disclaims all warranties by and on behalf of and limits all liabilities of Splunk; (c) prohibits decompilation and other reverse engineering of the Splunk Materials; (d) provides that Customer will protect the privacy and legal rights of End Users under all applicable laws and regulations, which includes communicating a legally adequate privacy notice; (e) notifies End Users that certain information will be made available to Customer, Splunk and other entities and that additional charges (e.g., data usage charges) may be incurred by End Users (e.g., in the transmission of such information) by their mobile service providers; (f) obtains sufficient authorization from End Users to transfer such information to Customer, Splunk and other entities and to permit the storage and processing of such information; and (g) otherwise obtains and maintains any required consents from End Users to allow Splunk (including its service providers) to provide or have provided the Services, including without limitation consent for Customer, Splunk and other entities to access, monitor, use and disclose End User data.

12.1. Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but in no event less than reasonable care) (i) not to use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement, and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, to limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees, contractors and agents who need such access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have confidentiality obligations to the Receiving Party containing protections no less stringent than those herein.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. To the extent such a law applies to Customer, some or all of the exclusions or limitations set forth above may not apply to Customer, and Customer may have additional rights.
