ATTACHMENT B
SERVICENOW® STORE TERMS OF USE
Pursuant to a separate transaction between the customer entity (“Customer”) and ServiceNow’s authorized reseller (“Reseller”), Customer has purchased from Reseller certain services to be delivered by a ServiceNow entity identified in the Reseller Order (“ServiceNow”) that may include access to and use of ServiceNow’s app store located at http://store.servicenow.com (“Store”). These ServiceNow Store Terms of Use (“Agreement”) specify the terms and conditions that govern Customer’s use of the Store and any App (as defined below) offered therein, including but not limited to Customer’s download of the App and Customer’s payment therefore. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Customer’s agreement for its use of the ServiceNow Product (“Subscription Terms and Conditions”), this Agreement shall govern to the extent of such conflict. All terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Subscription Terms and Conditions.
1. Definitions. “App” means customizations of ServiceNow Products offered on Store. “App Conditions” means the terms and conditions applicable to a particular App. “ServiceNow App” means an App developed by ServiceNow that is expressly designated as such on Store. “ServiceNow Product” means any ServiceNow products and services available outside of Store. ServiceNow Apps are not ServiceNow Products. All Apps are licensed by third parties and not ServiceNow except ServiceNow Apps. ServiceNow is not a party to any App Conditions except App Conditions for ServiceNow Apps.
2. Purchase and Payment of Apps. Rights to access Apps are subject to the applicable App Conditions and Customer’s agreement for use of the ServiceNow Product on which the App is installed. Prices stated on Store are final. Except as otherwise required by the termination for convenience clause under FAR part 52.212-4, or applicable agency supplement, which shall apply only by and between the Reseller entity and Customer, purchases made on Store are final, non-cancellable and non-refundable, and a continuous and non-divisible commitment for the full duration of its then-current term regardless of the invoice schedule. Subscription terms are for 12 months and may be renewed upon Customer’s request thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current term. Prices for renewal are subject to increase upon advance notice to Customer. If Customer purchases an App by credit card, Customer’s card will be billed monthly during the subscription term. Otherwise, payment for an App is due within 30 days after invoice. In the event Customer’s payments are late, the parties agree that ServiceNow, or the Reseller, as applicable would be able to avail itself of the applicable government procurement disputes regulation governing this Agreement. ServiceNow may suspend or cancel Customer’s subscription if payment is late. Prices exclude all taxes associated with Customer’s purchase, access to, use of or payment for the App, which Customer is responsible for paying, unless Customer is exempt under applicable law. ServiceNow is exclusively responsible for taxes imposed on its net income. All applicable sales tax, value-added tax, duties and other similar governmental charges shall be based on the ship-to address provided by Customer, unless Customer is exempt under applicable law.
3. App Rights and Restrictions. Customer will use Apps solely as run on ServiceNow Products. Purchase of an App (including a ServiceNow App) does not entitle Customer to use ServiceNow Products, which Customer must purchase separately. Customer may not: (a) provide a third party with access to an App except as necessary to provide services to Customer as an agent or contractor; or (b) use the App to develop a product that is operable apart from the ServiceNow Products or to circumvent ServiceNow APIs. Upon notification of overuse of an App from ServiceNow, Customer will purchase additional subscription rights or stop such overuse within thirty
(30) days.
4. Platform Use Rights. If Customer purchases an App, it is permitted to use solely that App and no further right to run other applications or customizations on ServiceNow Products is provided. Unless expressly marked on the Store description web page for the particular App as including platform subscription rights to use the App, Apps available for free require the additional purchase of the right to run the App to the same extent that Customer would require platform subscription rights to use applications or customizations if the App were developed by Customer as a customization of the ServiceNow Products.
5. Responsibilities. Customer uses Apps at its own risk. ServiceNow will have no liability or obligation to Customer with respect to Apps, other than ServiceNow Apps as provided in the applicable App Conditions. Customer’s use of an App (including a ServiceNow App) with a ServiceNow Product constitutes a modification or customization of that ServiceNow Product by Customer for purposes of any separate agreement between Customer and ServiceNow and such customization or modification (or malfunction caused thereby) will not be subject to any support, warranty or indemnity under any such separate agreement.
6. Termination. Except as otherwise required by the termination for convenience clause under FAR part 52.212-4(l), or applicable agency supplement, which shall apply only by and between the Reseller entity and Customer, this Agreement remains in effect until expiration of a subscription term for the App without prior renewal or until terminated by either party for any reason upon 30 days’ written notice, whichever occurs first. Upon expiration or termination: (a) Customer shall cease to use the App; (b) Customer will uninstall the App within forty-five (45) days of the date of expiration or termination, or if no action is taken after such time or ServiceNow terminated this Agreement for cause, ServiceNow may uninstall the App; (c) Customer may not renew the then-current subscription term; and (d) the entirety of this Agreement, including Customer’s payment obligations, will survive. Termination of this Agreement or any App Conditions have no effect on Customer’s subscriptions or licenses to ServiceNow Products.
7. Deactivation. If ServiceNow reasonably believes use of an App violates any law or third-party right, degrades ServiceNow’s ability to meet its support, service availability or security terms, or may create an implicit or explicit failure of the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the ServiceNow Products (including, by way of example only: (i) executing commands as another user; (ii) accessing data in excess of permissions; (iii) posing as another user or service within a system; (iv) causing an abnormal denial of service;
http://store.servicenow.com/
(v) inadvertently or intentionally destroying data without permission; or (vi) exploiting any encryption implementation weakness (such as to reduce the time or computation required to recover the plaintext from an encrypted message)), then ServiceNow may deactivate the App to prevent further detrimental effects on the ServiceNow Products or require Customer upon notice to remove that App from Customer’s instance of ServiceNow Products.
8. Disclaimer of Warranties. SERVICENOW SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, WITH RESPECT TO STORE OR ANY APP (INCLUDING A “CERTIFIED APP”) INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, FREEDOM FROM DEFECTS OR VIRUSES, OR AVAILABILITY. THESE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTY DO NOT APPLY
TO EXPRESS WARRANTIES MADE BY SERVICENOW IN APP CONDITIONS FOR SERVICENOW APPS.
9. Limitations and Exclusions of Liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED UNDER LAW, SERVICENOW SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH STORE OR ANY APP, INCLUDING ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF REVENUE OR PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, HOWEVER CAUSED AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, IN TORT OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, AND WHETHER OR NOT SERVICENOW HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SERVICENOW REVIEWED, MODERATED, COMMENTED ON OR PROMOTED THE APP GIVING RISE TO DAMAGES. IF SERVICENOW IS LIABLE TO CUSTOMER FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, THEN SERVICENOW’S TOTAL, CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO STORE OR ANY APP, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, IN TORT OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, WILL NOT EXCEED TWO TIMES THE PRICE (IF ANY) THAT CUSTOMER PAID THROUGH STORE TO ACCESS THAT APP DURING THE APPLICABLE ORDER PERIOD IN WHICH SUCH LIABILITY AROSE. MULTIPLE CLAIMS WILL NOT INCREASE THIS LIMIT. THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS SECTION 9 WILL SURVIVE AND APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS DO NOT APPLY TO LOSS TO CUSTOMER THAT
CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER NORTH DAKOTA CENTURY CODE (N.D.C.C.) § 32-12.2-15(4).
10. U.S. FedRAMP. The following applies exclusively to the extent that the App will be provisioned to a ServiceNow instance hosted in an authorized United States Federal Risk Authorization Management Program (“FedRAMP”) datacenter: Customer agrees and acknowledge that ServiceNow’s FedRAMP Provisional Authorization to Operate (P-ATO) does not apply to the security, privacy or any other attributes of any App. CUSTOMER AGREES TO ASSUME ALL RISK AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF SUCH INSTALLATION AND
USE OF THE APP IN THE FEDRAMP INSTANCE.
11. General Terms. Customer will not access Apps in violation of any country’s laws or regulations, including export controls. No waiver of this Agreement by ServiceNow will be deemed a further or continuing waiver. Customer may submit purchase orders for its administrative convenience, but those purchase orders will not affect the terms of this Agreement, which may only be modified as provided in this Section 11 or by a writing signed by both parties. ServiceNow may amend this Agreement, upon notice to Customer. Such amendments will apply to transactions on Store on a going-forward basis. If Customer does not agree to such amendments, Customer’s recourse is to refrain from further use of Store. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision will be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Agreement will continue in full force and effect. The parties are independent contractors. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of North Dakota. Any dispute arising out of this Agreement, Store or any App shall be heard exclusively in the state District Court of North Dakota located in Burleigh County, North Dakota. This Agreement constitutes the final and entire agreement between Customer and ServiceNow with respect to Store and the Apps, and it supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements relating to its subject matter except as expressly provided herein. This Agreement controls over any conflicting provision in App Conditions or Website Terms unless otherwise expressly provided herein. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall constitute an original of this Agreement, but all the counterparts shall together constitute the same agreement. No counterpart shall be effective until each party has executed at least one counterpart. Facsimile signatures shall be binding to the same extent as original signatures.
