2013)

(a) Except as stated in paragraph (b) of this clause, when any supply or service acquired under this contract is subject to any End User License Agreement (EULA), Terms of Service (TOS), or similar legal instrument or agreement, that includes any clause requiring the Government to indemnify the Contractor or any person or entity for damages, costs, fees, or any other loss or liability that would create an Anti-Deficiency Act violation (31 U.S.C. 1341), the following shall govern:

(1) Any such clause is unenforceable against the Government.

(2) Neither the Government nor any Government authorized end user shall be deemed to have agreed to such clause by virtue of it appearing in the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement. If the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement is invoked through an “I agree” click box or other comparable mechanism (e.g., “click-wrap” or “browse-wrap” agreements), execution does not bind the Government or any Government authorized end user to such clause.

(3) Any such clause is deemed to be stricken from the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement.

C.4 IT SYSTEMS & SERVICE CONTRACTS-- SECURITY REQUIREMENTS-- LOCAL

PROVISION

QUALITY CONTROL

All software products purchased from or developed for FERC by a vendor or contractor will be certified by the provider to be free of malicious code. The provider will be held responsible for any damage or loss of business as a direct result of malware or malicious code embedded within software licensed to or developed for FERC.

SOFTWARE LICENSE

FERC requires the contractor to certify that they have appropriate systems and controls in place to ensure that FERC funds or resources are not used to acquire, operate, or maintain information technology software in violation of U.S. copyright laws or applicable licensing restrictions. If FERC finds that the contractor is using FERC funds or resources to acquire, operate, or maintain information technology software in violation of U.S. copyright laws or applicable licensing restrictions, FERC will take such corrective measures as the agency deems appropriate and consistent with the requirements of the law. In addition, FERC will identify if the contractor must deliver software license keys in order to perform under this contract.

SUPPLY CHAIN RISK MANAGEMENT

Cyber security protections in Federal acquisitions can be further enhanced by performing increased business due diligence to gain better visibility into, and understanding of, how contractors develop, integrate, and deploy their products, services, and solutions as well as how they assure integrity, security, resilience, and quality in their operations. The contractor will be responsible for evaluating the security of their proposed products, services, and solutions to ensure compliance with the requirements and guidelines established in NIST SP 800-161.
