4. THE SERVICES

Your use of the Services and Components must be in strict compliance with this Agreement and all Applicable Laws.
4.2 Access to Your Environment.
In order to use the Opsy Services, You must download and install from time to time certain software components made available by Opsy (“Components”) on Your network environment and systems, or on a third party network environment and systems for which you have been expressly authorized by such third party to provide network management services (“Your Environment”) that, when loaded and approved by You, will, among other things, (i) allow communication between Us and Your Environment and any Device that is connected to Your Environment (collectively, “Your Network”); (ii) allow Us to scan and evaluate Your Network; and (iii) extract data from Your Network and transfer such data to the Services and otherwise to Us. You acknowledge and agree that by installing and using Components. Updates to Components provided by Opsy are provided at no additional cost.

You understand that the Components are evolving. As a result, We may require You to accept updates to the Components that You have installed. We may also automatically download to Your systems and Devices new versions of the Components, and by using the Services and agreeing to this Agreement, You consent to such automatic updates and downloads. You acknowledge and agree that We may update the Components with or without notifying You. You may need to update third party software from time to time in order to use the Components. If at any time You wish to revoke Your consent to such automatic updates and downloads, You may do so at any time by contacting Us.

In other words,
In this rather lengthy section, we outline the various components and features of our product and explain the terms according to which you can access and use them. We go into excruciating detail about the many nefarious things we prohibit you from doing with our product, such as reverse-engineering our software or storing defamatory, threatening, or otherwise unlawful content. Long story short: Take responsibility for your stuff and what you do, and please use our product for good, not evil. Thanks a bunch!
5. FEES AND TAXES
5.1 In consideration for providing the Services to You, You shall pay Us in accordance with Our fee schedule and fee policies that are applicable to the Services and that are in effect at the time that you purchase the Services, unless otherwise agreed upon by You and Us in writing and in advance. Fees are based on Services purchased and not actual usage. Payment obligations are non-cancellable and fees paid are non-refundable; for greater certainty, any fees that have pre-paid by You for Services that are unused due to any early termination of this Agreement shall not be refundable. The base subscription fee for the Services is payable in advance, and any billable items over what’s included in the subscription are payable in arrears.
5.2 Where You pay fees by means of a credit card, You authorize Us to automatically charge You for any and all fees incurred by You for Services. If Your credit card is rejected for any reason, You will be responsible for any fees and charges associated with such rejection. The foregoing shall not limit Our ability to exercise any rights available to it in law or equity respecting the collection of any amounts payable hereunder.
5.3 If You fail to pay any amount due under this Agreement within thirty (30) days of such payment becoming due and payable, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to Us, We shall be entitled to charge interest on all outstanding amounts at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law, such interest commencing as of the due date for such payment.

If You are required to withhold any taxes from payments owed under this Agreement, the amount of payment due shall automatically be increased to offset such tax, so that the amount actually remitted to Us shall equal the amount invoiced or otherwise due.
In other words,
Though we’d love to provide our customers with our product for free, we’re running a business, so you’re going to have to pay us to use it. If you don’t pay us on time, you’ll have to pay us a bit extra for the hassle. Also, you have to pay any applicable taxes, or the government will be mad at you and us.
6. THIRD PARTY TECHNOLOGY
The Services may contain features or functionality designed to interoperate and/or integrate with software, applications or services that are provided by parties other than Opsy or You (“Third Party Services”). To use such features, You may be required to obtain access to such Third Party Services from their providers (which may require You to pay fees to the provider of such Third Party Services). We do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for the products or services provided by such third parties. We are not responsible for the operation or functionality of any Third Party Services. You are solely responsible for Your use of any Third Party Services, and for compliance with any terms and conditions applicable to such Third Party Services.

If the provider of any such Third Party Services ceases to make the Third Party Services available for interoperation with the corresponding Services features or functionality, We may cease providing such features or functionality.
In other words,
Certain third-party technologies integrate into our system. We must acknowledge the possibility that such third-party technologies could experience technical problems or outages, which could compromise performance of certain features of our product. Generally, those issues will need to be taken care of by you, not us, since you have the relationship with the third-party technology providers.
7. SUPPORT
If You need assistance with Your Account or the Services, please visit the support portions of the Website and/or the Service. There You will find the answers to many frequently asked questions and information on reaching a support representative. In certain instances, We may best be able to assist You by using a remote access support tool through which We have full access to your Devices and Your Networks. If You do not want Us to have this access, You should not consent to support through the remote access support tool, and We will assist You through other means. Although We will make commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any issues You may have, We make no guarantees whatsoever with respect to the provision of a solution, and the warranty disclaimer in Section 14 applies to all support that we provide.

Opsy may delete any Content (including, but not limited to, Your Content) that in the sole judgment of Opsy violates this Agreement or which may be offensive, illegal or violate the rights of any party, or harm or threaten the safety of any party. Opsy assumes no responsibility for monitoring the Services for inappropriate Content or conduct. If at any time Opsy chooses, in its sole discretion, to monitor the Services, Opsy nonetheless assumes no responsibility for the Content, no obligation to modify or remove any inappropriate Content, and no responsibility for the conduct of the party submitting such Content. Opsy cannot, does not and will not guarantee the accuracy, completeness and quality of any Content appearing on, transmitted through, or otherwise made available by, the Services, including, but not limited to, any Opsy Content or User Content. You acknowledge and agree that reliance on any Content accessible through the Services is solely at Your own risk. WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR THE USE, MISUSE OR RELIANCE ON ANY CONTENT.

We hold the right to delete content you’ve transmitted, submitted, displayed, or published that violates our Terms of Service.
11. CONFIDENTIALITY
11.1 Confidentiality.
Information or data that You disclose or make available to Us (whether through the Services or otherwise) is: (a) personal information that is subject to the Privacy Policy (b) explicitly subject to a written non-disclosure agreement that We have entered into with You, or (c) usernames, passwords or other credentials for Your Environment that You provide or make available to Us through the Services, will be treated as confidential – all other information or data you choose to disclose or make available to us will be treated as non-confidential, regardless of whether You mark it as “confidential,” “proprietary,” or the like. We maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures, internal controls, and data security routines intended to protect the data provided by You to Us during the course of accessing and using the Services against accidental loss or change, unauthorized disclosure or access, or unlawful destruction. You acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding such measures, use of or connection to the Internet provides the opportunity for unauthorized third parties to circumvent such precautions and illegally gain access to the Services or Network Data. Therefore, We cannot, and shall not be liable to You or any other party for any unauthorized disclosure or access, or use of Network Data or Your Content except where We are grossly negligent.
11.2 Data Processing.
To the extent personal information You disclose or make available to Us in relation to Your use as a Customer of the Opsy Service constitutes personal data as defined by Applicable Data Protection Laws, (including usernames or log-in information associated with Your Account), You acknowledge that, You are the controller and We are the processor (where controller and processor have the meanings as defined in Applicable Data Protection Law). We process personal data to deliver the Opsy Service as instructed by You unless We are required otherwise by Applicable Laws or if, in Our opinion, an instruction by You infringes Applicable Laws (in which case We will tell You unless those Laws prevent Us from doing so). We shall i) ensure We implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of or access to personal data, taking account the nature of the data, the state of technology and the cost of implementing any measures ii) ensure that personnel authorized to access and/or process the personal data are obliged to keep the personal data confidential; iii) only transfer any personal data as described in Section 1.6 above, iv) assist You insofar as is possible in responding to any request from a data subject and in ensuring compliance with your obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws with respect to security, Breach Notices (as defined below), impact assessment and consultations with supervisory authorities; v) notify You as soon as is reasonably practicable on becoming aware, of any breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of or access to personal data (“Breach Notice“); and vi) make available to You, such information in Our possession or control as You may reasonably request, with a view to demonstrating Our compliance with the obligations of a processor under Applicable Data Protection Law in relation to the processing of any personal data under the Opsy Service, including allowing for or contributing to audits.
In other words,
Any non-personal information made available to us through your use of our product falls outside the Privacy Policy, and we’ll only treat certain obvious things as being confidential. We do just about everything humanly (and technically) possible to protect your information, but if someone illegally hacks our system and steals that data, we can’t be held responsible unless that unlawful access was due to a clear fault on our part. Where We process personal data on Your behalf in connection with providing the Opsy Service, We will seek to abide by Applicable Data Protection Law relevant to that processing.
12. FEEDBACK
We welcome Your feedback and comments regarding the Services. By submitting or providing Us with comments, messages, suggestions, ideas, concepts, feedback or other information about the Services, Opsy and/or its operations (collectively, “Submissions”) You thereby and hereby: (a) represent and warrant that none of the Submissions are confidential or proprietary to You or to any other party; (b) represent and warrant that none of the Submissions breach any agreement to which You are a party; and (c) grant Opsy an exclusive fully paid-up, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, unrestricted, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide right and license to use, share and commercialize Your Submissions in any way and for any purpose. You also waive in favour of Opsy and its successors and assigns any and all of Your moral rights in and to all Submissions. These rights survive this Agreement.
In other words,
We want feedback about your experience with Opsy. We invite you to be vocal, candid, and detailed when providing feedback. But don’t give us feedback that contains anything you want to keep secret, because we’re going to use it to improve our services.
13. TEST OR “BETA” FEATURES
From time to time, We may offer new “beta” features or tools for the Services for You to evaluate. Such features or tools are offered solely for experimental and evaluation purposes and without any warranty or condition of any kind, and may be modified or discontinued at any time at Our sole discretion.
In other words,
Our product is always under development. You may experience bugs, notice imperfections, or encounter features in “beta” development. When you do, we’d love to hear about your experience.
14. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, THE SERVICES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES) ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”, “AS AVAILABLE” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS”. Opsy MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, AND THERE ARE NO CONDITIONS, ENDORSEMENTS, UNDERTAKINGS, GUARANTEES, REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, RESULTS, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY, MERCHANTABLE QUALITY, DURABILITY, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR ARISING BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE IN LAW OR FROM A COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF THE TRADE) AS TO, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE FOLLOWING: (I) THIS AGREEMENT; (II) THE SERVICES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, (A) THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICES OR ITS FAILURE TO PERFORM, (B) THE AVAILABILITY OR RELIABILITY OF THE SERVICES, (C) THE FUNCTIONS, CONTENT AND INFORMATION MADE ACCESSIBLE OR AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICES, AND (D) COMPONENTS); AND/OR (III) SECURITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE TRANSMISSION OF INFORMATION OR DATA TRANSMITTED TO OR FROM Opsy, YOU OR OTHERS VIA THE SERVICES.
In other words,
Opsy makes no promises or guarantees about our product’s performance or reliability. We want to set your expectations accurately out of the gate.
15. INDEMNITY
At Opsy’s request, You will defend, hold harmless, and indemnify Opsy and its directors, officers, employees, agents, subsidiaries, affiliates and each of their successors from and against all third party claims, actions, demands, proceedings, damages, costs and liabilities of any kind (collectively, “Claims”) to the extent that the Claims arise out of or relate to Your use of the Services, Your Content or Your breach of Your warranties or obligations under this Agreement.
In other words,
Let’s say (and we’re talking hypothetically here) you made a boo boo that got a third party angry at us. You gotta have our back if that happens.
16. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL Opsy AND/OR ITS LICENSORS OR REPRESENTATIVES (INCLUDING DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES) BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR UNFORESEEABLE, (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CLAIMS FOR LOSS OF DATA, GOODWILL, PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS REVENUE OR EARNINGS, DAMAGES CAUSED BY DELAYS, FAILURE TO REALIZE EXPECTED SAVINGS, OR USE OF THE SERVICES, INTERRUPTION IN USE OR AVAILABILITY OF DATA, STOPPAGE OR OTHER WORK OR IMPAIRMENT OF OTHER ASSETS), ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING BREACH OR FAILURE OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, MISREPRESENTATION, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT ONLY IN THE CASE OF PERSONAL INJURY WHERE AND TO THE LIMITED EXTENT THAT APPLICABLE LAW REQUIRES SUCH LIABILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN ADDITION, IN NO EVENT WILL OPSY’S CUMULATIVE OR AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PARTY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES OR OTHERWISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS (USD $100.00).
In other words,
Here, we essentially state that Opsy can’t be held responsible if something goes wrong with your use of our Services.
17. TERM AND TERMINATION
The term of this Agreement starts upon Your acceptance of this Agreement and continues until it is terminated as provided for in the terms of this Section 17. Any termination of this Agreement must be by written notice by either party (e-mail is accepted, provided that Your notice comes from the e-mail address associated with Your Account). You may terminate this Agreement by providing at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Opsy. Your payment obligations for Services shall continue during such notice period. Opsy may suspend or terminate the Services and/or this Agreement for any reason at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. You may terminate this Agreement and Your Account at any time by notifying Opsy of such termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, all rights granted to You hereunder will cease, and You must promptly purge and remove all Components from Your Environment. Termination of any Services includes removal of access to such Services and barring of further use of the Services. Termination of all Services also includes deletion or return of any personal data associated with your Account and deletion of your password and all related information, files and data associated with or inside Your Account, including Network Data. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, upon termination of any Service, Your right to use such Service will automatically terminate immediately. You understand that any termination of Services may involve deletion of Network Data associated therewith from Our live databases. We will not have any liability whatsoever to You for any suspension or termination, including for deletion of Network Data. All provisions of this Agreement, which by their nature should survive, shall survive termination of Services, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, Your payment obligations, warranty disclaimer, limitations of liability, indemnities and Sections 18 to 24.
In other words,
This Agreement kicks off when you initiate use of our product. If you want to terminate this Agreement at any time, send us an email and consider it terminated. We have the right (but, of course, no intention) to do the same.
18. PUBLICITY
You agree that We may include Your name, logo and/or trademarks in a list of Our Users or customers, on the Website and/or in other promotional materials. You also agree that We may verbally reference You as a User of the Services. You may withdraw the permissions granted to Us in this Section 18 by e-mailing a request to Opsy .
In other words,
We may include your company’s logo on a list of our customers featured on our website and/or in promotional materials. If you’re not cool with that, just shoot us an email and we’ll make sure your logo is omitted.
19. NOTICE
Where We require that You provide an e-mail address, You are responsible for providing Us with Your most current e-mail address. In the event that the last e-mail address You provided to Us is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to You any notices required/permitted by this Agreement, Our dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice. You consent to receive all communications including notices, agreements, disclosures, or other information from Us electronically. We may provide all such communications by e-mail or by posting them on the Services. You must send notices of a legal nature to our office headquarters. Nothing herein shall limit Our right to object to subpoenas, claims, or other demands, and We also reserve the right to provide You with notices by other means, such as by mail, courier or facsimile.
In other words,
This section asks that we communicate with each other electronically and points out the importance of maintaining an active email address in your Opsy account. For legal matters, contact us at the physical address indicated on our website’s contact page.
20. EXPORT CONTROLS
Components and other software available in connection with the Services (the “Software“) may be further subject to United States import and/or export controls. No Software may be downloaded from the Services or otherwise exported or re-exported in violation of U.S. export laws. Downloading or using the Software is at your sole risk with respect to such import and/or export controls and subject to compliance with all Applicable Laws.
In other words,
There’s a tiny chance your use of our product could constitute a violation of the export laws of whatever country in which you operate. You’re responsible for compliance with the import and export laws of any country in which you use our product.
21. GOVERNMENT USE
If you are a U.S. government entity, you acknowledge that any Services provided are “Commercial Items” as defined at 48 C.F.R. 2.101, and are being provided as commercial computer software subject to the restricted rights described in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 and 12.212.
In other words,
You’re probably not a U.S. government entity so this probably doesn’t apply to you. If you are a U.S. government entity, you actually understood this section. Good on ya!
22. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS
Opsy shall comply with Applicable Laws. In addition, Opsy reserves the right to fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing Opsy to disclose the identity and information of anyone posting any e-mail or other messages, or publishing or otherwise making available any Content or Your Content that is believed or alleged (reasonably or not) to violate this Agreement or any Applicable Law. You acknowledge and agree that Opsy may investigate any violations of law and may cooperate with law enforcement authorities in this regard.
In other words,
We intend to fully comply with the laws of whatever legal jurisdictions in which we or our customers operate. Know that we will comply with law enforcement authorities or court orders that direct us to reveal the identities of our customers or disclose the nature of the content they created through use of our product.
23. GOVERNING LAW
This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regards to conflict of laws principles. The parties hereby expressly and irrevocably attorn to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in the State of New York.
24. MISCELLANEOUS
This Agreement (and the documents referred to herein, including, without limitation, Other Terms and Additional Terms) constitute the entire agreement between You and Us in relation to the use of the Services, and replace and extinguish all prior agreements, arrangements or undertakings of any nature made by the parties, whether oral or written, in relation to such subject matter. The division of this Agreement into sections and subsections and the insertion of headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the provision shall be modified by the court and interpreted so as best to accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect. The failure of Opsy to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. You may not transfer or assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Opsy and any such assignment shall be null and void from the beginning. This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of and be binding upon Opsy’s or Your respective permitted successors and assigns.
In other words,
This is where we cover off anything that didn’t obviously fit in another section. It includes an “entire agreement” declaration, which says this agreement supersedes any other agreements into which we might have entered.
25. THIRD PARTY AGREEMENT
If You have been directed to this Agreement because you are purchasing a product or service from someone other than Opsy (the “Third Party Vendor”) that includes services from Opsy, the following provisions will apply to you:
(a) Any terms of this Agreement relating to Your payment obligations to Opsy shall be deemed superseded by the terms of Your agreement with the Third Party Vendor.
(b) Opsy has no support obligations or liability directly to You. Any support obligations or liability shall solely be those offered to You by the Third Party Vendor.
(c) You are subject to all terms and conditions imposed by the Third Party Vendor in relation to Your use of the products or services of the Third Party Vendor (the “Third Party Items”) and/or your use of Opsy Services in conjunction with the Third Party Items, as applicable. Such Third Party Vendor may impose additional restrictions, or may have additional rights, in relation to your use of the Opsy Services in conjunction with the Third Party Items; it is solely your responsibility to ensure that you are aware of and comply with the terms and conditions imposed by the Third Party Vendor. To the limited extent that this Agreement is less restrictive than the usage rules or terms and conditions of the Third Party Vendor, or is in direct conflict with, Your agreement with the Third Party Vendor, solely as they relate to your obligations to the Third Party Vendor or the Third Party Items, Your agreement with the Third Party Vendor shall prevail.
(d) You acknowledge that Your agreement with the Third Party Vendor is concluded solely between you and the Third Party Vendor, and not with Opsy, and Opsy shall have no responsibility whatsoever respecting the Third Party Items (including without limitation in relation to the sale, distribution or use thereof, or the performance or non-performance thereof). Opsy is responsible only for the Opsy Services.
(e) To the extent necessary to enable Opsy to enforce the provisions of this Agreement respecting Your usage of the Opsy Services, Opsy shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of Your agreement with the Third Party Vendor, and will have the right to enforce the terms of Your agreement with the Third Party Vendor against you as a third party beneficiary thereof.
