Customer agrees to waive any claim against Duo Security with respect to any Third Party Services.
3.4 Customer acknowledges that the Services will require Users to share with Duo Security certain information which may include personal information regarding Users (such as usernames, Duo Admin Panel passwords, email address and/or phone number) solely for the purposes of providing and improving the Services.

RESTRICTIONS
Customer will not, and will not permit any Users nor any third party to: reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to discover the source code, object code or underlying structure, ideas or algorithms of the Services, Software, Hardware Tokens or any data related to the Services (except to the extent such prohibition is contrary to Applicable Law that cannot be excluded by the agreement of the parties); modify, translate, or create derivative works based on the Services or Software; share, rent, lease, loan, resell, sublicense, distribute, use or otherwise transfer the Services or Software for timesharing or service bureau purposes or for any purpose other than its own use, except as expressly provided in an applicable Order Form; or use the Services or Software other than in accordance with this Agreement and in compliance with Applicable Law.
PAYMENT OF FEES
5.1 Customer will pay Duo Security the Fees plus all applicable sales, use and other purchase related taxes (or provide Duo Security with a valid certificate of exemption from the requirement of paying sales, use or other purchase related taxes) in accordance with the Payment Schedule and payment terms set forth on the Order Form. Customer shall be responsible for all taxes related to the Services and this Agreement, exclusive of taxes on Duo Security’s income. Except as otherwise indicated in the applicable Order Form, all fees and expenses shall be in U.S. dollars. Unpaid and due Fees are subject to a finance charge of one percent (1.0%) per month, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, except to the extent Applicable Law requires a different interest or finance charge calculation for unpaid and due Fees and expenses. In the case of any withholding requirements, Customer will pay any required withholding itself and will not reduce the amount paid to Duo Security on account thereof. If the method of payment is by credit card, Customer agrees to (i) keep Customer’s credit card information updated and (ii) authorize charging Customer’s credit card the Fees when due. Duo Security will not charge Users any fees for their use of the Services or Duo Mobile Software without Customer’s authorization and the Duo Mobile Software can be downloaded by Users free of charge. Users’ carriers or service providers may charge fees for data usage, messaging, phone calls or other services that are required for them to use the Services.
5.2 Customer’s Order Form will indicate an initial allotment of Telephony Credits, if applicable. Customer may purchase additional Telephony Credits separately via the billing section of the Duo Admin Panel or by contacting a sales representative. U.S. and international rates for telephony can be found at https://duo.com/docs/telephony-credits.
5.3 If a Customer uses only Free Services, Duo Security will not charge such Customer any Fees for use of such Free Services or download, installation or use of the Software associated with Free Services. Such Customer may discontinue using the Free Services at any time, but must immediately remove any Software from its devices.
5.4 At any time during the Term, and unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties, any increase or overage in the maximum number of Users specified in the Order Form will be treated in accordance with this Section 5.4 (a “Subscription Upgrade”). The maximum number of Users shall be increased as follows:
For Subscription Upgrades (i) for Customers where the maximum number of Users on the Order Form is fewer than 500 Users, the maximum number of Users will be increased automatically in increments equal to 50 Users, (ii) for Customers where the maximum number of Users on the Order Form is 500 - 1000 Users, the maximum number of Users will be increased automatically in increments equal to 100 Users, and (iii) for Customers where the maximum number of Users on the Order Form is 1001 or greater, the maximum number of Users will be increased automatically in increments equal to 250 Users.
Duo Security shall invoice Customer for the increase in the maximum number of Users at the subscription rate and payment terms specified in the most recent Order Form, prorated for the remainder of the then applicable subscription Term. For any future subscription Term, the number of Users and applicable Fees will reflect any Subscription Upgrades.
CONFIDENTIALITY
6.1 The term “Confidential Information” means any information disclosed by one party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”) in any form (written, oral, etc.) that is marked as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of the disclosure, including, without limitation: trade secrets; technology and technical information (intellectual property, inventions, know-how ideas and methods); business, financial and customer information (including Customer Data and Customer Personal Data); pricing, forecasts, strategies and product development plans; and/or the terms of this Agreement. Each party understands that the Disclosing Party has or may disclose Confidential Information in connection with this Agreement, but that Receiving Party shall receive no rights in, or licenses to, such Confidential Information.
6.2 The Receiving Party agrees: (i) not to disclose Confidential Information to any third person other than those of its employees, contractors, advisors, investors and potential acquirers (“Representatives”) with a need to have access thereto and who have entered into non-disclosure and non-use agreements applicable to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, and (ii) to use such Confidential Information solely as reasonably required in connection with the Services and/or this Agreement. Each party agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Agreement caused by any of its Representatives. The Receiving Party further agrees to take the same security precautions to protect against unauthorized disclosure or unauthorized use of such Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party that the party takes with its own confidential or proprietary information, but in no event will a party apply less than reasonable precautions to protect such Confidential Information. Each party acknowledges that the use of such precautions is not a guarantee against unauthorized disclosure or use. The Disclosing Party agrees that the foregoing will not apply with respect to any information that the Receiving Party can document: (a) is or becomes generally available to the public without any action by, or involvement of, the Receiving Party; or (b) was in its possession or known by it prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party; or (c) was rightfully disclosed to it without restriction by a third party; or (d) was independently developed without use of any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. Nothing in this Agreement will prevent the Receiving Party from disclosing Confidential Information as required in response to a request under applicable open records laws or pursuant to any judicial or governmental order, provided that, to the extent permitted by law, the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party reasonable prior notice to contest such disclosure. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer acknowledges that Duo Security utilizes the services of, and Customer may request additional services from, certain third parties in connection with Duo Security’s provision of the Services (such as data hosting and telephony service providers and Customer’s Third Party Services providers) and such third parties will have access to Customer’s Confidential Information, including Customer Data in accordance with this Agreement. The parties agree that Performance Data is not Confidential Information and will not be subject to any confidentiality restrictions or obligations.
6.3 Each party agrees that, upon the written request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party will promptly return to the Disclosing Party, or provide written certification of the destruction of, all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, including all Confidential Information contained in internal documents, without retaining any copy, extract or summary of any part thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Receiving Party may retain copies of Confidential Information solely to the extent necessary for purposes of such party’s ordinary course internal document retention and backup requirements and procedures, provided that such Confidential Information shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement for so long as it is retained.
6.4 Customer acknowledges that Duo Security does not wish to receive any Confidential Information from Customer that is not necessary for Duo Security to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and, unless the parties specifically agree otherwise, Duo Security may reasonably presume that any unrelated information received from Customer is not confidential or Confidential Information, unless such information is marked as “Confidential.”
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS; OWNERSHIP
Except as expressly set forth herein, Duo Security alone (and its licensors, where applicable) will retain all Intellectual Property Rights relating to the Services or the Software or any suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, feedback, recommendations or other information provided by Customer or any third party relating to the Services and/or the Software, which are hereby assigned to Duo Security. Customer will not copy, distribute, reproduce or use any of the foregoing except as expressly permitted under this Agreement. As between the parties, Duo Security owns all Performance Data. This Agreement is not a sale and does not convey to Customer any rights of ownership in or related to the Services or Software, or any Intellectual Property Rights.
DATA PROTECTION
8.1 In this Section 8, the terms “personal data,” “data processor,” “data subject,” “process and processing” and “data controller” shall be as defined in the applicable Data Protection Laws. For the purposes of the Data Protection Laws, as between Customer and Duo Security, the parties agree that Customer shall at all times be the data controller and Duo Security shall be the data processor with respect to the processing of Customer Personal Data in connection with Customer’s use of the Services. Solely if and to the extent Duo Security is processing personal data, as defined in the General Data Protection Regulation, that is contained in Customer Data on Customer’s behalf, then the terms of the data processing agreement available at https://duo.com/legal/gdpr-data-protection-addendum shall apply to such processing and are incorporated into this Agreement.
8.2 Customer may enable integrations between the Services and certain of its Third Party Services (each, an “Integration”). By enabling an Integration between the Services and its Third Party Services, Customer is expressly instructing Duo Security to share the Customer Data necessary to facilitate the Integration. Customer is responsible for providing any and all instructions to the Third Party Service provider about the use and protection of Customer Data. Duo Security and Third Party Service providers are not subprocessors of each other.
8.3 As the data controller of Customer Personal Data, Customer represents and warrants to Duo Security that its provision of personal data to Duo Security and instructions for processing such personal data in connection with the Services shall comply with all Data Protection Laws.
8.4 In accordance with applicable Data Protection Laws, Duo Security shall take all commercially reasonable measures to protect the security and confidentiality of Customer Personal Data against any accidental or illicit destruction, alteration or unauthorized access or disclosure to third parties. Duo Security will provide Customer with its security policy, upon request, that sets forth the technical specifications and the detailed measures taken to protect the security and confidentiality of Customer Personal Data.
8.5 Customer may, upon at least thirty (30) days prior notice, and no more than once per 12 month period, appoint an independent third party auditor to physically inspect and audit, at Customer’s sole cost and expense, any facilities owned or controlled by Duo Security in which Customer Personal Data is processed or stored, provided that such inspection: (i) shall occur on a mutually agreed upon date during Duo Security’s regular business hours; (ii) does not interfere with any of Duo Security’s business operations; and, (iii) does not, in Duo Security’s reasonable discretion, create any risk to the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of any data stored or processed by Duo Security. Prior to any audit, Customer, and any appointed auditor, must enter into a nondisclosure and confidentiality agreement as may be required by Duo Security.
INDEMNIFICATION
For Customers enrolled in one of the editions of Services requiring purchase, Duo Security shall indemnify and hold Customer harmless from liability to third parties resulting from infringement by the Services of any patent or any copyright or misappropriation of any trade secret, provided Duo Security is promptly notified of any and all threats, claims and proceedings related thereto and given reasonable assistance and the opportunity to assume sole control over defense and settlement; Duo Security will not be responsible for any settlement it does not approve. The foregoing obligations do not apply with respect to portions or components of the Services (i) not created by Duo Security, (ii) resulting in whole or in part from Customer specifications, (iii) that are modified after delivery by Duo Security, (iv) combined with other products, processes or materials where the alleged infringement relates to such combination, (v) where Customer continues allegedly infringing activity after being notified thereof or after being informed of modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement, or (vi) where Customer’s use of Services is not strictly in accordance with this Agreement and all related Documentation. If Duo Security receives information about an actual or alleged infringement or misappropriation claim that would be subject to indemnification rights set forth in this Section 9, Duo Security shall have the option, at its expense, to: (a) modify the Software to be non-infringing; or (b) obtain for Customer a license to continue using the Software. If Duo Security determines it is not commercially reasonable to perform either of the above options, then Duo Security may at its option elect to terminate the license for the Services and refund the unearned portion of any pre-paid subscription Fees, prorated on a monthly basis. THIS SECTION STATES CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR INFRINGEMENT, MISAPPROPRIATION AND/OR CLAIMS ALLEGING INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION. Customer will indemnify Duo Security from all damages, costs, settlements, attorneys’ fees and expenses related to any claim related to Customer’s breach of Section 3 “Customer Responsibilities,” Section 4 “Restrictions,” Section 7 “Intellectual Property Rights; Ownership” or Section 8 “Data Protection.” Duo Security’s obligations under this Section 9 do not apply to Customer’s use of Free Services.
TERM; TERMINATION

The Fees per User for each renewal Term will be equal to the Fees per User for the immediately prior Term, plus a price increase.

If Customer fails to pay any Fees or other amounts in the applicable Order Form in accordance with the Payment Schedule, Duo Security may terminate this Agreement prior to the end of the Term by giving five (5) business days prior written notice to Customer; provided, however, that this Agreement will not terminate if Customer has paid all Fees and other amounts in the applicable Order Form prior to the expiration of such five business-day period.
10.3 Either party may terminate this Agreement, without notice, (i) upon the institution or if a petition is filed, notice is given, a resolution is passed or an order is made, in each case by or against the other party under Applicable Law relating to insolvency, administration, liquidation, receivership, bankruptcy or any other winding up proceedings, (ii) upon the other party’s making an assignment for the benefit of creditors or making a voluntary arrangement with its creditors, (iii) upon the other party’s dissolution or ceasing, or threatening to cease to do business or (iv) if any event occurs, or proceeding is instituted, with respect to the other party that has the equivalent or similar effect to any of the events mentioned in Section 10.3(i) through (iii).

No refund of Fees shall be due in any amount on account of termination by Duo Security pursuant to this Section 10. In the event of termination by Customer pursuant to this Section 10, Customer shall be entitled as its sole and exclusive remedy, to receive a refund of any pre-paid subscription Fees paid by Customer to Duo Security for Services not rendered as of the termination date. When this Agreement expires or terminates, Duo Security shall cease providing the Services to Customer.
