PREAMBLE

These Professional Services Terms and Conditions (“PS Terms”), together with any written order, quotation, or similar transactional document (“Order Documentation”) and applicable Schedules (collectively, the “Agreement”), govern the provision of services (the “Professional Services”) by the OpenText entity set forth on the applicable Order Documentation (“OT” or “We” or “Us”). In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement, the Order Documentation will prevail over these PS Terms and applicable Schedules.

 

By accepting the Order Documentation referencing the PS Terms, You are entering into a legally binding contract with OT as of the date of the Order Documentation (the “Agreement Effective Date”) and You agree to be bound by and abide by the Agreement.  If You are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a legal entity, You represent and warrant that You have the authority to bind such entity, in which case the terms “You” and “Your” as used herein will refer and apply to such entity.

1. SCOPE

Schedules A through J attached hereto (each individually, a “Schedule”) describe the scope of the Professional Services to be performed as a part of each Professional Services offering.  The Order Documentation will specify the applicable Professional Services offering being provisioned to You, which shall incorporate the terms of the corresponding Schedule(s) into the Agreement. Any Schedules corresponding to Professional Services not mentioned in the Order Documentation shall have no effect on the Professional Services provided to You.

 

You and OT shall cooperate in good faith to complete the Professional Services in a timely and professional manner. You acknowledge and agree that any timelines provided for the completion of the Professional Services in the Order Documentation are a non-binding estimate by OT. The specific scheduling of any milestones or any activity set forth in an applicable Schedule shall be completed via email between You and OT. You acknowledge and agree that Your request to schedule any milestone or activity shall be made in writing to OT not less than fourteen (14) days prior to the requested date. You acknowledge that Your failure to adhere to a Schedule or perform Your Responsibilities (as set forth in the applicable Schedule below), failure to provide timely access to facilities, equipment, technology, or failure to provide complete and accurate information may delay completion of the Professional Services. If You confirm the start date of any milestone or activity but re-schedule or cancel such start date within ten (10) calendar days of such start date, OT reserves the right to invoice You (and You agree to pay such invoice) for OT’s actual costs incurred as a result of such re-scheduling or cancellation if OT, after making commercially reasonable efforts to do so, is unable to re-allocate the scheduled consultant(s) to another engagement during the scheduled dates. OT shall not be liable for any delays or inability to complete the Professional Services to the extent caused by Your non-compliance.  Furthermore, OT shall not be liable for any delays caused by time needed to review Your policies, or non-performance to the extent caused by OT’s inability to comply with any such policies. Subject to OT’s compliance with the confidentiality provisions stated herein, nothing in this Agreement shall restrict or limit OT from providing services which may be similar to the Professional Services to any other entity in any industry.

 

All Professional Services are to be completed remotely unless otherwise agreed in writing. The manner and means used by OT to perform the Professional Services are in the sole discretion and control of OT. OT may make use of subcontractors to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, but OT will remain responsible for the performance of its subcontractors.

2. ACCEPTANCE

Upon completion of the Professional Services by OT, You shall have three (3) business days to reject the Professional Services, before the Professional Services shall be deemed accepted by You. If You reject the Professional Services, the parties shall mutually attempt to resolve Your concerns in good faith.

3. FEES

You are responsible for paying OT or a third party authorized by OT to resell the Professional Services to You (a “Reseller”), as applicable, the fees for performance of the Professional Services without setoff or deduction.  Unless otherwise stated in the Order Documentation: (a) OT or a Reseller, as applicable, will invoice You in advance for the fees for the Professional Services; and (b) all fees are guaranteed and non-refundable. If the Professional Services are performed onsite, You shall be required to reimburse OT for reasonable costs of travel and associated expenses (a) directly as set forth in an invoice from OT or (b) through payment to a Reseller from whom You purchased the Professional Services. Unless otherwise stated in the Order Documentation, all payments made directly to OT are due within forty-five (45) days of date of invoice. OT reserves the right to suspend or terminate the Professional Services for late or nonpayment including, but not limited to, an instance where you have paid a Reseller for the Professional Services, but the Reseller has not remitted payment to OT. Any such suspension or termination will not relieve You of Your obligation to pay the fees under the Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that the fees provided in the Order Documentation are subject to change where required by operation of the change management process and any additional fees incurred are payable per this section upon issuance of a CO (as defined in Section 4 (Change Management) below). When You purchase the Professional Services directly from OT, any portion of the fees not paid when due will accrue interest at one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less, from the due date until paid, and You shall bear all of OT’s costs of collection of overdue fees, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

4. CHANGE MANAGEMENT

After the Agreement Effective Date, any proposed changes to the Professional Services will require a mutually executed, written change order (“CO”). The CO will describe the change requested, the rationale for the requested change, and the effect the change will have on the Professional Services, including any modifications to scheduled milestones or activities. Notwithstanding the foregoing and if You fail to meet the Assumptions or Your Responsibilities (as set forth in the applicable Schedule), OT may issue a change order (“OT CO”) that may include additional fees, schedule or milestone changes, or other material modifications as required by OT in its sole discretion to complete the Professional Services. If You do not agree to the OT CO, then OT may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to You without liability.

5. YOUR DATA

You shall implement and maintain adequate policies and procedures and physical and technical barriers restricting OT’s access to Your data (“Your Data”) beyond that which is necessary to perform the Professional Services. You represent and warrant that any access to Your Data provided by You to OT pursuant to this Agreement shall be given in accordance and compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including data privacy laws and regulations including more specifically the EU General Data Protection Regulation. No later than seven (7) days after the Agreement Effective Date, You shall provide OT with copies of Your applicable data security policy and any other policies with which OT may be required to comply in the performance of the Professional Services. Where OT cannot or will not comply with any policy in part or in its entirety, OT may terminate this Agreement without liability within thirty (30) days of receipt of such policies by OT.  

6. TERM AND TERMINATION

The Agreement commences upon the Agreement Effective Date and shall terminate upon Your acceptance of the Professional Services pursuant to Section 2 (Acceptance). Notwithstanding the foregoing and where this Agreement includes Schedules C, E, and/or G, the Agreement will automatically terminate on the one-year anniversary of the Agreement Effective Date and such Schedules are not subject to Your acceptance of the Professional Services. Any hours of Professional Services not utilized by You upon termination of this Agreement expire at that time and no refund or compensation will be provided to You for your failure to utilize those hours.

7. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

Schedule I

Cyber Resilience Program; Services Program Manager

 

Overview: OT provides consulting services, managed services and learning services for its cybersecurity software, and also provides risk and compliance advisory services, digital forensic and incident response services, and managed security services through OT’s Professional Services group (collectively, “Cybersecurity Services”).  

 

Scope of Work: OT will provide Cybersecurity Services based on the Cyber Resilience Program Package (“CRP Package”) subscribed by You, as specified in the Order Documentation.  Each CRP Package will be assigned to a Services Program Manager (“SPM”) that will manage Your relationship with OT, as described below.  CRP Packages are sold with a fixed number of “Units” as specified in the Order Documentation and Units are usable over a one (1) year term.  You may subscribe to additional CRP Packages, with each package having its own one (1) year term. Each Unit is convertible into a corresponding number of service hour hours depending on the specific task requested to be performed by OT resources. Tasks performed by a SPM consume Units at a rate of 0.86 Units per hour of work performed. Tasks performed by other resources consume Units at a rate of one (1) Unit per hour of work performed, except when tasks related to an incident or breach response. Incident or breach response-related services consume Units at a rate of 1.38 Units per hour of work performed. For Cybersecurity Services provided under a CRP Package, the SPM will consume a minimum of 1% of purchased Units or 1 Unit, whichever is higher, for each calendar month during the term of a CRP Package.  The Cyber Resilience FasTrak is equivalent to a CRP Package consisting of eighty (80) Units where the Cybersecurity Services are limited to: (i) security health check, (ii) threat hunting service, (iii) incident response simulation, or (iv) any other Cybersecurity Service listed on the Order Documentation.  When OT provides digital forensic and incident response services, it may use SentinelOne™ software. You acknowledge and agree to the customer license for SentinelOne™ published at https://www.sentinelone.com/legal/limited-use-ir-license-agreement/. You also authorize OT to communicate Your contact information to SentinelOne™ and understand that SentinelOne™ may solicit You for their business for their software products. OT shall limit all use of SentinelOne™ software to no more than forty-five (45) days for You. Once OT uses SentinelOne™ software for a single engagement with You, OT will require approval from SentinelOne™ for any subsequent use.

 

Planning and Discovery: Prior to commencing any work, OT will: 

  • Conduct a program kick-off and planning session with You, in conjunction with the SPM, where high level program plans (i.e. consumption of units), detailed tasks/activities, schedules, roles and responsibilities for each party will be defined

 

OT Responsibilities:

  • Provide Cybersecurity Services applicable to the CRP Package in Your Order Documentation

 

SPM Responsibilities:

  • Manage Your relationship with OT for Cybersecurity Services
  • Plan activities/tasks for Your program (i.e. consumption of units)
  • Provide status calls
  • Schedule use of applicable OT resources
  • Issue and escalation management
  • Represent OT at Your internal meetings
  • Provide information for the delivery of services, including information regarding the budget (for example, current balance of units), project plan delivery, hours performed by OT and timeline for delivery of Cybersecurity Services

 

Your Responsibilities:

  • Provide OT access to Your computing environment, inclusive of the OT software operating with such environment
  • Ensure OT has the necessary rights and credentials to perform the Professional Services contemplated herein at no charge or expense to OT in accordance with the Agreement
  • Provide information to OT as requested by the SPM

 

Scope of Coverage:

  • Unless otherwise agreed between OT and You, work shall be performed between the hours of 9am to 6pm (time zone dependent upon location and determined in OT’s sole discretion), Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays (“Regular Business Hours”).
  • OT schedules its resources by two (2) hour increments, up to eight (8) hours per day during Regular Business Hours for work from OT locations. For alternate locations (as agreed upon by OT and You in writing), OT schedules its consultants in eight (8) hour increments.
  • Services outside Regular Business Hours must be agreed in writing (email is sufficient) by OT and You. You hereby agree that OT may charge additional amounts for Professional Services to be performed on an urgent basis or outside Regular Business Hours. For each CRP Package, the Units rates per hour of work performed (as described in the Scope of Work above) are valid for work within Regular Business Hours. Rates for any work outside Regular Business Hours are one and a half (1.5) times the Units per hour of work performed for work on weekdays, and two (2) times the Units per hour of work performed on weekends and public holidays.

 

 

Schedule J

Technical Account Manager

 

Scope of Work: OT will provide a technical account manager (“TAM”) for the time period specified in Your Order Documentation.  Your TAM will provide advice, guidance, and assistance to You for the deployment and operationalization of OT cybersecurity software, as described below.  The TAM is provided through a coverage-based engagement model with OT Professional Services on a part time basis (up to 8-hours per week).

 

OT Responsibilities:

  • Provide coverage from the TAM according to Your Order Documentation
  • Prioritize all applicable support tickets submitted by You

 

TAM Responsibilities:

  • Conduct weekly health checks and assist with the mitigation and remediation of OT cybersecurity software issues
  • Act as a single point of contact for all applicable support tickets
  • Design and deploy guidance for Your use of the OT cybersecurity software, based on Your environment
  • Review policy management to facilitate the successful integration of OT cybersecurity software and related data sources to Your environment
  • Support of purpose-built content to address custom use-cases and monitoring objectives for OT cybersecurity software used for security operations
  • Provide technical expertise and support, new threat detection content, threat intelligence instrumentation, automation of analysis tasks, statistics, profiling and the implementation of external plugins
  • Provide training for You through informal cross-training events with Your internal team
  • Provide ad-hoc training to You in the management and usage of the OT cybersecurity software
  • Act as an advocate to ensure Your priorities are visible and understood within applicable OT departments, including OT’s software engineering and technical support departments

 

Your Responsibilities:

  • Provide OT access (as applicable) to perform project tasks
  • Provide information to OT as requested by the TAM

 

Scope of Coverage:

  • TAM coverage starts upon purchase and is non-refundable.
  • The purchase of multiple product codes on a single order does not cause multiple concurrent coverages, but rather additive single coverage. For example, purchasing a ninety (90) day TAM and a thirty (30) day TAM on an order would result in a one hundred twenty (120) day total concurrent coverage period.
  • The purchase of product codes while under active coverage would not cause multiple concurrent coverages, but rather an extended single coverage. For example, if You are under a one (1) year TAM and then You purchase another one (1) year TAM, then this latest purchase would result in an extension of coverage for a total of two (2) years.
  • TAM will only provide coverage for one (1) OT software during the term. Notwithstanding the previous two assumptions, OT can specifically allow purchasing of multiple TAMs, if specified in writing on the Order Documentation at time of purchase.
  • TAM weekly availability cannot be carried over to subsequent weeks.
