PLEASE READ THIS SAAS END USER AGREEMENT (THE “TERMS”) CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE SERVICES OFFERED BY VEZA TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (“VEZA”). BY MUTUALLY EXECUTING ONE OR MORE ORDER FORMS WITH VEZA WHICH REFERENCE THESE TERMS (EACH, AN “ORDER FORM”), YOU (“LICENSEE”) AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS (TOGETHER WITH ALL ORDER FORMS, THE “AGREEMENT”) TO THE EXCLUSION OF ALL OTHER TERMS. IN ADDITION, ANY ONLINE ORDER FORM WHICH YOU SUBMIT VIA COMPANY’S STANDARD ONLINE PROCESS AND WHICH IS ACCEPTED BY LICENSOR SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE MUTUALLY EXECUTED. IF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT ARE CONSIDERED AN OFFER, ACCEPTANCE IS EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO SUCH TERMS.

In consideration of the mutual agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Definitions

1.1 “Agreement” means this Agreement, together with all Exhibits, attachments, and any amendments attached hereto or hereafter attached by mutual written agreement of the parties, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.

1.2 “Confidential Information” means any information of a party designated as confidential or proprietary at the time of disclosure, or would be reasonably considered as confidential due to its nature or circumstance of disclosure, as further described in Section 4 below.

1.3 “Documentation” means all specifications, user manuals, program manuals, written proposals, and any related documentation provided by Veza for the operation and use of the Service.

1.5 “Licensee Content” means all Licensee information, data, text (including but not limited to names of files, databases, directories and groups/workgroups of the same), and/or materials on, within, displayed, linked or transmitted to, from or through the Service or entered or stored in the Service by any Licensee employee, contractor, or representative using the Service

1.6 “Order Form” means the Veza Order Form in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. All Order Forms shall be binding and incorporated herein by this reference.

1.7 “Service” means the Veza product, including any modifications or updates thereto, and as described in more detail in the Order Form.

1.9 “Active Identities” are unique user identifiers (“IDs”) listed in the Customer’s Identity Provider application(s) (“IdP”). If an individual has more than one user ID in an IdP, each user ID is measured separately for purposes of determining the number of Active Identities.

Veza prices Products and Integrations on a per Active Identity per month basis ($/Active Identity/mo) as set forth in the Order Form.

  • For Okta IdPs Veza Counts Okta user IDs with Okta user status: “Active”; “Recovery/Password Reset”; “Password Expired”; “Locked Out”; and “Suspended.” but does NOT count Okta user IDs with Okta user status “Staged”;”Provisioned/Pending User Action”; and “Deprovisioned/Deactivated”
  • For Microsoft Active Directory (AD) and Entra ID IdPs,”Azure Entra ID Veza counts Users with ‘Account Enabled’ parameter active” and/or “Active Directory User Objects” that are not expired, unlocked and enabled.

1.10 “Integrations” are end-point connections to an instance of a database, application, or API for use with the Service. Integrations are set forth in the Order form and, along with Identities, form the basis for the Fee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may disclose Confidential Information of the other party to the extent required by a court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental authority or otherwise as required by law. In the event the information sought is Confidential Information of the other party, the party from whom the information is sought shall promptly inform the other party of such requested disclosure in writing unless prohibited from such notification by lawful order of the court.

4.3 Each party acknowledges and agrees that the other party’s breach of the confidentiality provisions under this Section 4 may result in irreparable harm to the non-breaching party and that the non-breaching party will have the right to enforce this Agreement and any of its provisions by seeking an injunction, specific performance and/or other equitable relief without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that the non-breaching party may have and without posting a bond.

6. Fees and Renewal Fees/Pricing, Tax, Invoicing, and Payment.

The number of Identities, Integrations and Products will be periodically tracked and monitored. Veza may, in its sole discretion, and with at least thirty (30) days advance notice to Licensee, amend the Order Form and/or increase the Fees if Licensee’s Identities usage rate exceeds the amount set forth in the Order Form, and Licensee agrees to pay such Fees as increased pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

6.1.2 Renewal Fees/Pricing. The Service price during any Renewal Term (as defined below in Section 10.1) for any SKU indicated on a prior Order Form will be the same as that during the prior Term unless Veza provides Licensee advance written notice of a pricing increase, in which case the pricing increase shall be effective only upon renewal date and thereafter.

Veza shall not be required to comply with any warranty obligations pursuant to this Section 7.4 if and to the extent that: (i) the applicable Service has been modified by Licensee without the supervision or prior consent of Veza; or (ii) the applicable Service is nonconforming due to the failure by Licensee or its agents or employees to operate the Service in accordance with the Documentation.

7.5 EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES MADE OR REFERENCED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, CONCERNING THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND EACH PARTY HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND/OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

8.4 In the event that the Service, or any portion thereof, is held, or in Veza’s reasonable opinion is likely to be held, to constitute infringement of a third-party Intellectual Property right, Veza may within a reasonable time, at its option: (i) secure for Licensee, at Veza’s sole expense, the right to continue the use of such infringing item with the scope of such use being at least equivalent to the scope of use contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) replace, at Veza’s sole expense, such item with a functionally equivalent non-infringing item or modify such item so that it becomes non-infringing but remains functionally equivalent; or (iii) terminate this Agreement. If Veza terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.2, Veza will refund a pro-rata portion of any Fees paid to Veza by Licensee.

This Support and Availability Policy (the “Policy”) sets forth the policies and procedures with respect to Veza’s support and maintenance of the Service. Support under this Policy is not available in connection with Order Forms for Sandbox applications.

Summary:

As further described below, Veza will use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) provide Licensee with 99.9% availability to the Service (the “Service Availability”); and (ii) provide standard support to Licensee.

Availability:

If the Service becomes substantially unavailable to Licensee due to defects with the Service, Veza will respond to Licensee (i) within eight (8) hours from Licensee’s notification to Veza of such unavailability, if during normal business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:00am – 6:00pm Pacific Time), or (ii) within eight (8) hours of the start of the next business day, if outside of normal business hours. The Service Availability will be measured on a monthly basis, with all hours weighted equally, but the Service Availability measurement will exclude reasonable scheduled downtime for system maintenance (typically outside of normal business hours) as well as any downtime or performance issues resulting from third-party connections, services or utilities or other reason beyond Veza’s control (including without limitation, acts of God, acts of government, flood, fire, earthquakes, civil unrest, acts of terror, strikes or other labor problems (other than those involving Veza employees), computer, telecommunications, Internet service provider or hosting facility failures or delays involving hardware, software or power systems not within Veza’s possession or reasonable control, and denial of service attacks). If the Service is unavailable to Licensee due to defects with the Service beyond the Service Availability metric, then, as Licensee’s sole and exclusive remedy (and Veza’s sole liability), Veza will provide Licensee a credit for the subsequent Service billing cycle as follows:

Service AvailabilityCredit
< 99.9% but >= 99.00%3 days
< 99.00% but >= 95.00%15 days
< 95.00%30 days

In order to receive downtime credit, Licensee must notify Veza support within seventy-two (72) hours from the time of downtime, and failure to provide such notice will forfeit the right to receive downtime credit. All credits provided hereunder are nonrefundable. If Licensee elects not to renew the Agreement, such that the above credit cannot be applied, Licensee will have the option to receive up to one free month of Service as its sole remedy in lieu of such credit.

Support:

Veza will provide support to customer for defects with the Service as set forth in this Support and Availability Policy. Any support services outside of the scope of this Service and Availability Policy must be separately agreed in writing by Licensee and Veza. Licensee may designate up to four (4) support contacts (“Designated Support Contacts”), and all support requests must come through the Designated Support Contacts. Licensee may update the Designated Support Contacts by providing notice to Veza.

Data Protection and Security

1. Information Security Program. Veza maintains an information security program materially aligned with industry leading practices and applicable regulatory requirements (“Information Security Program”). The Information Security Program is designed, with respect to all Licensee Content in Veza’s possession or to which Veza has access, to (i) ensure sufficient controls are implemented to protect against anticipated threats to the security or integrity of Licensee Content; (ii) protect against unauthorized access to or use of Licensee Content; (iii) ensure the secure storage and if applicable, disposal of Licensee Content; and, (iv) ensure that all subcontractors of Veza, if any, comply with all of the foregoing. Veza’s information security program is regularly reviewed by Veza management and updated as necessary. As part of its Information Security Program Veza shall maintain written policies and standards and ensure all Veza personnel with access to Licensee Content maintain awareness of such policies and undergo security awareness training periodically.

2. Audit of Veza by Independent Third Party. Veza completed a SOC2 Type II review of its information security program as of January 2022 and will complete a SOC2 type II review no less than annually thereafter. Veza will provide a summary report to Licensee upon reasonable written request, at Veza’s sole expense. Should any findings be identified, Veza shall evaluate those findings and will design and implement mitigation strategies as needed at its sole expense.

3. Endpoint protection and monitoring. Veza shall deploy and maintain on all Veza provided user endpoints a Mobile Device Management Software (MDM) and an Endpoint detection and response (EDR) or Antivirus solution.

4. Data Protection. Veza shall maintain written policies defining data handling practices and shall classify, protect, store and securely dispose of Licensee Content in accordance with the requirements defined within such policies. Veza uses industry standard encryption techniques to protect sensitive data in storage and transport.

5. Access Control. Veza shall ensure that access to Licensee Content in Veza’s possession or to which Veza has access is restricted to authorized personnel and that such access is only granted for purposes of fulfilling Veza’s obligations under the Master Service Agreement. Accessing Licensee Content must only be allowed upon successful authentication using mechanisms meeting industry standards and minimum requirements as defined within Veza policies. All remote access to Licensee Content must be obtained through a secure connection. Veza will periodically review user access to verify that access remains restricted to authorized personnel. Access by Veza personnel to Licensee Content is removed within twenty-four (24) hours upon termination of employment or a change in job status that results in personnel no longer requiring access to Licensee Content. Veza will use industry standard methods to maintain logs of all Veza users’ access.

6. Secure Software Development. Veza maintains written policies defining requirements for developing and implementing the software systems provided for purposes of fulfilling Veza’s obligations under this Agreement. Newly developed software systems undergo review, including a security review for significant functionality, testing and approval prior to production implementation.

7. Logging and Monitoring. Veza will monitor software systems provided under this Agreement to detect and respond to potential threats to the security, confidentiality and integrity of Licensee Content. Event logs are protected from unauthorized access or modification and are retained in line with Veza’s retention policy.

8. Vulnerability Scanning. Veza will conduct vulnerability scans of the Veza’s software systems on a regular basis and evaluate any identified vulnerabilities. Veza will remediate identified vulnerabilities in line with their criticality, including timely implementation of necessary patches, if applicable.

9. Security Incident Response. Veza maintains a documented Security Incident Response Plan. Veza continuously monitors its systems provided for purposes of fulfilling Veza’s obligations under this Agreement and potential security incidents are identified, evaluated, resolved and recovered from in line with the plan.

10. Breach Notification. Veza agrees to notify Licensee in the event of any accidental, unlawful or unauthorized disclosure or access of Licensee Content in Veza’s possession or to which Veza has access (“Security Breach”) providing details of the Security Breach in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Veza further agrees to provide all reasonable cooperation and assistance requested by Licensee or Licensee’s designated representatives, in the furtherance of any correction, remediation, investigation, mitigation of effects, enforcement or litigation with respect to a Security Breach, including but not limited to, any notification that Licensee may determine appropriate to send to individuals impacted or potentially impacted by a Security Breach.

11. Due Diligence by Licensee. Upon request by Licensee, Veza agrees to employ reasonable commercial effort to complete due diligence questionnaires as provided by Licensee or Licensee’s designee regarding Veza’s information security program.

12. Penetration Testing. Annually, Veza shall have a penetration test of its systems conducted by an independent qualified third party at its sole expense. Veza will evaluate the severity of any findings, should they be identified, and will implement mitigation strategies to address such findings in line with their severity. Veza will share an executive summary of the test with the Licensee upon reasonable request.

13. Personnel Security. Veza personnel providing the Services will possess the training, education, experience and skill reasonably necessary to perform the Services. Veza requires at least annual security and privacy training for all Veza personnel. Veza shall cause a Background Check (as defined below) to be completed on all Veza personnel assigned by Veza to provide Services hereunder prior to the date such Services commence, and shall not assign Veza personnel to provide Services hereunder if the results of any Background Check, or Veza’s actual knowledge, indicate that such Veza personnel may pose a threat to Licensee’s property, personnel, subscribers, subscribers’ property or Confidential Information. For purposes of this Section, a “Background Check” means a background investigation performed by an agency in good standing with the National Association of Professional Background Screeners, and shall include, but not be limited to, (i) a check of felony and misdemeanor criminal convictions (federal, state and county), and (ii) searches of the U.S. Government Specially Designated National (OFAC) and export denial lists and relevant national and state sex offender registries.

14. Third-party Security Management. Veza performs periodic due diligence with regard to applicable third parties, if any, to ensure compliance with Veza security policies. Should any findings be identified, Veza shall evaluate those findings and will require the third party to design and implement mitigation strategies.
