As part of the registration process, Customer will identify an administrative username(s) and password(s) for Customer’s paid user(s) of the Cloud Services (each an “Authorized User”). 1.2 Login; Orders by Affiliates. Only one Authorized User may use the same login credentials. In accessing the Cloud Services as permitted under the Agreement, Customer must report any security breaches promptly to CData. Customer shall keep such login credentials updated and secure and Customer is responsible for any breaches of security that occur through Customer’s access or login credentials of the Cloud Services. Customers and Affiliates may each use the Cloud Service pursuant to this Agreement. To the extent Customer’s Affiliates wish to make separate purchases, any of Customer’s Affiliates may execute a new Order Form for Cloud Services purchased specifically for that Affiliate entity and will be subject to this Agreement unless otherwise noted. “Affiliate” means an entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with a party to this Agreement at any time during the term of this Agreement, for so long as such ownership and control exists, provided such entity is not a current or prospective competitor to CData or in the business of developing and offering products or technologies that are substantially similar to the Cloud Services. 1.3 Support. CData will provide technical support in accordance with the CData support policy. Support is subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Order Form, and the CData support policy. Customer acknowledges and agrees that employees or contractors of CData or its Affiliates may test and monitor Customer’s connections and integrations for the purpose of testing, troubleshooting, and improving the Customer’s usage of the Cloud Services. CData will not access Customer’s account or Customer Data without permission from Customer. In the event Customer grants the CData team permission to access Customer’s account or Customer Data, employees or contractors of CData or its Affiliates will access Customer’s account and may query the data accessed by Customer during Customer’s usage of the Cloud Services, change the Customer’s settings, and otherwise modify Customer’s account for the sole purpose of troubleshooting and improving the Customer’s usage of the Cloud Services. 1.4 Evaluation and Development Terms.

Cloud Services licensed to Customer on a development, evaluation, or trial basis may be subject to one or more usage limits specified herein or otherwise communicated at the time of delivery (including posting of such limits at the location where Customer accesses the Cloud Services for development or evaluation). CData may, in its sole discretion, decide whether to offer any maintenance and support for the Cloud Services during the development or evaluation period, and to include any additional conditions or limits on such maintenance and support.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Customer is solely responsible for using the Cloud Services in compliance with, any applicable laws regarding data privacy or personally identifiable information. 2.3 Protection of Customer Data. CData will maintain administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for protection of the security, confidentiality, and integrity of Customer Data in accordance with the CData Information Security Policy, which is available upon request. CData may update this policy provided any such updates will not degrade or materially change CData’s obligations therein. Those safeguards will include, but will not be limited to, measures for preventing access, use, modification or disclosure of Customer Data by CData personnel except: (a) to provide the Cloud Services and to prevent or address service or technical problems; or (b) as Customer expressly permits in writing. In cases in which Data Protection Laws apply to the provision of Products to Customer, the parties will comply with the data processing addendum terms located at https://www.cdata.com/company/legal/dpa/. For the purposes of the foregoing, “Data Protection Laws” has the meaning attributed to this term at the foregoing URL. For the Cloud Services, CData does not directly monitor, track, or inspect Customer Data, including personally identifiable information (PII), and, except as expressly authorized by CData, does not accept or monitor for protected healthcare information (PHI). Customer may configure the appropriate software settings based on Customer’s use and security standards. CData will not: (a) modify Customer Data, (b) disclose Customer Data except as compelled by law or as expressly permitted in writing by Customer, or (c) access Customer Data, except to access to address service or technical problems as detailed in Section 1.3. Any exchange of data between Customer and any third party, is solely between Customer and the applicable third party. CData may collect usage telemetry, reporting, and other statistics from the Product, which usage data does not contain PII or identifiable Customer Data, for the purpose of monitoring compliance with applicable usage limits, and for diagnostic, operational, performance, analytics, and product improvement purposes. 2.4 Third-Party Services; OpenAI Services. Where Customer uses the Cloud Services in conjunction with a third-party product or third-party data source (“Third-Party Service”), Customer is responsible for maintaining in good standing all required accounts with the applicable Third-Party Service and agreeing to, and complying with, all applicable requirements of the Third-Party Service. Customer understands and agrees that CData may be required to modify or remove functionality within the Cloud Services related to a Third-Party Service if: (a) a Third-Party Service requests that CData do so, or (b) CData is required to do so by law, government order, or other legal process. If CData exercises its rights under Section 2.4(a)-(b), CData will provide Customer with notice and information regarding such actions as soon as practicable under the circumstances, and Customer shall promptly take any required actions in response to CData’s notice. If Customer chooses to access the OpenAI-connected features of the Cloud Services, Customer understands and agrees that the Cloud Services will send metadata as well as Customer data related to Customer’s use of such features to Azure OpenAI. This means that any sensitive information (including personal information as that term is defined under various privacy laws) contained in Customer questions or other Customer data could be passed to Azure OpenAI. CData will not train models using such data, and CData’s third party partner (Azure OpenAI) has made representations that they will not train models using such data. 2.5 HIPAA Data Warning. Except as expressly authorized by CData, Customer understands and agrees that it shall not use the Cloud Services to process any sensitive information, including any patient information (e.g., patient names, telephone number, any dates associated with a patient, and any unique identifying numbers associated with patient accounts) or any information that is subject to restrictions imposed by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) (as amended). It is Customer’s responsibility to ensure that such information is not used with or disclosed to the Cloud Services.

​
5. PAYMENT OF FEES

5.1 Calculation of Fees. Customer will pay CData the applicable fees described in each Order Form (the “Fees”). Fees for committed prepaid subscriptions are identified on the initial Order Form. Except as otherwise provided herein or as set forth by our payment processor here https://stripe.com, all fees are nonrefundable. Per-Authorized User pricing assumes normal query usage per paying Authorized User of the Services. If Customer’s use of the Cloud Services exceeds the capacity set forth herein or on the Order Form(s), or otherwise requires the payment of additional fees, CData will invoice Customer in arrears for such additional usage and Customer agrees to pay the additional Fees in the manner provided herein. 5.2 Payment Terms. CData will bill for the Cloud Services through an invoice, through the marketplace where the original purchase was made, or directly through credit card if provided. Full payment for invoices issued in any given month must be received by CData within 30 days after the issuance of the invoice (which may be sent by email). If Customer is paying by credit card, Customer represents and warrants that it has the right to use the credit card provided and grants CData the right to provide the credit card information, including the credit card number, its expiration date and billing address, to third parties for the purposes of facilitating payment transactions. Verification of information may be required prior to the acknowledgment or completion of any payment transaction. Unpaid amounts are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection and may result in immediate termination of Cloud Services. Customer is responsible for any sales, use, value added, excise, property, withholding or similar tax and any related tariffs, and similar charges, except taxes based on CData’s net income. If Customer is required to pay any such taxes, Customer shall pay such taxes with no reduction or offset in the amounts payable to CData hereunder. If an applicable tax authority requires CData to pay any taxes that should have been payable by Customer, CData will advise Customer in writing, and Customer will promptly reimburse CData for the amounts paid. If Customer believes that CData has billed Customer incorrectly, Customer must contact CData no later than 60 days after the date of the first billing statement in which the error or problem appeared, in order to receive an adjustment or credit. Inquiries should be directed to CData’s accounting department. Without limiting its other remedies, CData may suspend Cloud Services for nonpayment of fees.
