This document is the Public Sector Subscription Terms of Service for ServiceNow, applicable to state and local government entities, and relates to Broward County's open-end contract for ServiceNow IT Service Management (ITSM) Professional Software, Support, Subscriptions and Product Services for the Enterprise Technology Services Division and other County agencies. The contract governs the provision of ServiceNow's software-as-a-service offering, including subscription services, ancillary software, professional services, and technical support. The terms establish that ServiceNow will maintain the subscription service in accordance with its Product Overview documentation, provide customer support with defined availability service-level agreements, deliver upgrades and updates, and maintain security controls aligned to ISO 27001 standards or substantially equivalent standards to protect customer data. The subscription term commences on the date specified in the ordering document and continues through the specified term end date, with professional services ordered separately from the subscription service.
The agreement specifies that customers retain all intellectual property rights in their data and technology while ServiceNow retains ownership of its core technology. ServiceNow's total cumulative liability is limited to amounts received for services during the 12-month period preceding the first liability event, with specific exclusions for indirect, consequential, and punitive damages. ServiceNow warrants that its production instance will materially conform to the Product Overview and that professional services will be performed in a competent and workmanlike manner; if non-conformity persists beyond 30 days of notice, ServiceNow's remedies are limited to service termination and refund of prepaid fees. The agreement incorporates by reference additional terms including the Customer Support Addendum, Data Security Addendum, and Data Processing Addendum, with any updates to these addenda effective only at the end of the then-current subscription term. Pricing, payment terms, and other commercial provisions are specified in a separate ordering document between the customer and ServiceNow's authorized reseller.
