SAAS LICENSE AGREEMENT

UPSTREAM SECURITY SAAS LICENSE AGREEMENT


Last Updated: April, 2024

This Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Upstream Security Ltd., together with its affiliates (the “Upstream”) and you (the “Customer”) (each, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”). This Agreement shall be effective on the earliest of (a) Customer entering into an order form or similar form referencing or otherwise incorporating this Agreement; or (b) Customer’s use of the Data Platform and AutoThreat Platform (the “Effective Date”). If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of your organization, that organization is deemed to be the Customer and you represent that you have the power and authority bind that organization to this Agreement.

If Customer has purchased the license granted hereunder from a partner, reseller or distributor authorized by the Company (“Partner”), to the extent there is any conflict between this Agreement and the agreement entered between Customer and the respective Partner, including any purchase order (“Partner Order Form”), then, as between Customer and Company, this Agreement shall prevail. Any rights granted to Customer in such Partner Order Form which are not contained in this Agreement, apply only in connection with such Partner. In that case, Customer must seek redress or realization or enforcement of such rights solely with such Partner and not the Company.

  1. License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and Customer’s payment of applicable fees to Upstream and/or Upstream’s authorized resellers/partner (“Partner”), as applicable, Upstream hereby grants Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, subscription-based and revocable license to: (a) remotely access (i.e. on a SaaS basis) the Upstream security software (the “Data Platform”) and use it for internal purposes; and (b) remotely access and use Upstream’s AutoThreat intelligence platform, including any data provided thereunder, for internal purposes only (“AutoThreat Platform“). Unless otherwise indicated, the term “Data Platform” also includes the AutoThreat Platform and any documentation (“Documentation”) provided to Customer in connection with their operation. Customer may only use the Data Platform in accordance with the Documentation, subject to the use limitations indicated in Customer’s proposal or order (“Proposal”) or Partner Order Form (if purchased via Partner) and applicable laws.
  2. Services. In addition to the abovementioned licenses, Upstream may provide additional services and/or V-SOC services (the “Additional Services”) (collectively, the Additional Services, V-Soc Services with the licenses to the Data Platform, the “Services”). For removal of doubt, the V-SOC services will only be provided to the extent the Customer’s license for the Data Platform is in effect (for clarity, the V-SOC services will not be provided to Customers that only purchased a license to the AutoThreat Platform).
  3. Payment. (a) This Section 3(a) shall apply to the extent Customer has purchased the license granted under Section 1 and the Services directly from Upstream. The provision of the Services are conditioned on Customer’s upfront payment in full of the applicable fees set forth in the Proposal. All fees and other amounts paid hereunder are non-refundable. Any amount not paid when required to be paid hereunder shall accrue interest on the rate of one and a half percent (1.5%) per month. All amounts payable under this Agreement are exclusive of all sales, use, value-added, withholding, and other direct or indirect taxes, charges, levies and duties; (b) In case Customer purchased the license via Partner, the license granted hereunder and the related services are subject to the full payment of the applicable fees as set forth in the Partner Order Form. All payments shall be made directly to Partner, as agreed between Customer and Partner. Company may suspend or terminate Customer’s subscription to use the Data Platform if Company does not receive payment from the Partner, as a result of Customer not paying the corresponding amount to the Partner.
    The customer shall be responsible for setting up a monitoring system to monitor its use of the cloud platform and cloud services and all chargeable services thereunder. At Customer’s request, Upstream will assist Customer to set up such monitoring system based on the applicable required services for each cloud platform. This obligation shall not apply with respect to customer that only purchased a license to the AutoThreat Platform.
  4. Customer Account. The Data Platform may only be used through a Customer account (the “Account”). Such Account may be accessed solely by Customer’s employees or service providers who are explicitly authorized by Customer to use the Data Platform in accordance with the Proposal (each, a “Permitted User”). Customer will ensure that the Permitted Users keep the Account login details secure at all times and comply with the terms of this Agreement; and will be fully responsible for any breach of this Agreement by a Permitted User. Unauthorized access or use of the Account or the Data Platform must be immediately reported to the Upstream.
  5. Prohibited Uses. Except as specifically permitted herein, without the prior written consent of Upstream, Customer must not, and shall not allow any Permitted User or any third party to, directly or indirectly: (i) copy, modify, create derivative works of or distribute any part of the Data Platform (including any data provided and/or included thereof, including by incorporation into its products); (ii) sell, license (or sub-license), lease, assign, transfer, pledge, or share Customer’s rights under this Agreement with any third party; (iii) use any “open source” or “copyleft software” in a manner that would require Upstream  to disclose the source code of the Data Platform or Agent to any third party; (iv) disclose the results of any testing or benchmarking of the Data Platform to any third party; (v) disassemble, decompile, reverse engineer or attempt to discover the Data Platform’s source code or underlying algorithms; (vi) use the Data Platform in a manner that violates or infringes any rights of any third party, including but not limited to, privacy rights, publicity rights or intellectual property rights; (vii) remove or alter any trademarks or other proprietary notices related to the Data Platform; (viii) circumvent, disable or otherwise interfere with security-related features of the Data Platform or features that enforce use limitations; (ix)  export, make available or use the Data Platform in any manner prohibited by applicable laws (including without limitation export control laws); and/or (x) transmit any malicious code (i.e., software viruses, Trojan horses, worms, malware or other computer instructions, devices, or techniques that erase data or programming, infect, disrupt, damage, disable, or shut down a computer system or any component of such computer system) or other unlawful material in connection with Upstream’s Product.
  6. Customer Data and Analytics Information. As Upstream operates the Services, Upstream may monitor and process data regarding the vehicles included in Customer’s vehicles fleet’s systems and network (the “Customer Data”). As the exclusive owner of the Customer Data, Customer hereby warrants, represents and covenants that to the extent the Customer Data includes any personally identifiable information and/or Personal Data as defined in the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), Customer has and will: i) provide all appropriate notices, ii) receive all the required informed consents and/or have any and all ongoing legal bases and permits, and iii) act in compliance with applicable privacy laws and data regulations (including, without limitation, the GDPR), as to allow Upstream to use the Customer Data solely in order to perform Upstream’s Services (including, without limitation, the provision of such data to Upstream (or access thereto) and the transfer of such data by Upstream to its affiliates, subsidiaries and subcontractors, including transfers outside of the European Economic Area), and not for any monetization purposes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Upstream may be required to disclose the Customer Data: (a) to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, subpoena or governmental request; and/or (b) to collect, hold and/or manage the Customer Data through Upstream’s authorized third party service providers as reasonable for business purposes, which may be located in a country that does not have the same data protection laws as the data subject’s jurisdiction. Customer hereby further warrants and represents that to the extent that Customer needs a data processing agreement, Customer shall request by email to [email protected] Upstream’s Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) and return it signed to Upstream as described therein. In the event Customer fails to comply with any data protection or privacy law or regulation, the GDPR and/or any provision of the DPA, and/or fails to return an executed version of the DPA to Upstream, then: (a) to the maximum extent permitted by law, Customer shall be solely and fully responsible and liable for any such breach, violation, infringement and/or processing of personal data without a DPA by Upstream and Upstream’s affiliates and subsidiaries (including, without limitation, their employees, officers, directors, subcontractors and agents); and (b) in the event of any claim of any kind related to any such breach, violation or infringement and/or any claim related to processing of personal data without a DPA, Customer shall defend, hold harmless and indemnify Upstream and Upstream’s affiliates and subsidiaries (including, without limitation, their employees, officers, directors, subcontractors and agents) from and against any and all losses, penalties, fines, damages, liabilities, settlements, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
    It is further agreed that any anonymous information, which is derived from the use of the Data Platform (i.e., metadata, aggregated and/or analytics information which is not personally identifiable information (“Analytics Information”) may be used by Upstream for any purpose, including for providing the Service, for development and/or for statistical purposes. For the removal of doubt Upstream will be the exclusive owners of the Analytics Information.
  7. Warranties. Each Party represents and warrants that it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization; and that the execution and performance of this Agreement will not conflict with other agreements to which it is bound or violate applicable law.
  8. Intellectual Property Rights. Upstream is and shall remain the sole owner of (i) all right, title, and interest, including any intellectual property rights related to the Services and any and all improvements and derivative works, and (ii) any know-how, including methods, logic, techniques, processes, or technologies embodied or relating to the Services, including such that was created and/or developed during or prior to the provision of the Services (including in case of a trial or evaluation of the Services by Customer), as well as any developments, improvements, continuations or derivations thereof. This Agreement does not convey to Customer any interest in or to the Services other than a limited right to use the Services in accordance with Section 1. Nothing herein constitutes a waiver of the Upstream’s intellectual property rights under any law.
    If prior or during the Term, Upstream receives any feedback  (e.g., questions, comments, suggestions or the like) regarding any of the Services (collectively, “Feedback”), all rights, including intellectual property rights in such Feedback shall belong exclusively to Upstream and that such shall be considered Upstream ‘s Confidential Information; and Customer hereby irrevocably and unconditionally transfers and assigns to Upstream without all intellectual property rights it has in such Feedback and waives any and all moral rights that Customer may have in respect thereto.

A list of such components can be found at the following URL: https://www.upstream.auto/open-source-software-terms/, as may be further updated by Upstream from time to time. In addition, it is further clarified that information provided through the AutoThreat Platform, is based, among others, on third-party sources. Accordingly, and without derogating from Section ‎11 below, Upstream hereby disclaims any and all express and/or implied warranties with respect to any report and/or recommendation provided in connection to the AutoThreat Platform.

Each Party may have access to certain non-public and/or proprietary information of the other Party, in any form or media, including without limitation trade secrets and other information related to the products, software, technology, data, know-how, or business of the other Party, and any other information that a reasonable person should have reason to believe is proprietary, confidential, or competitively sensitive (the “Confidential Information”). The Documentation shall be considered as Confidential Information hereunder. Each Party shall take reasonable measures, at least as protective as those taken to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable care, to protect the other Party’s Confidential Information from disclosure to a third party. Neither Party shall use or disclose the Confidential Information of the other Party except as expressly permitted under this Agreement or by applicable law. All right, title and interest in and to Confidential Information are and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of the disclosing Party.

  13. Indemnification. Upstream acknowledges and agrees to defend, at its expense, any third party action or suit brought against the Customer alleging that the Data Platform, when used as permitted under this Agreement, infringes intellectual property rights of a third party (“IP Infringement Claim); and the Upstream will pay any damages awarded in a final judgment against the Customer that are attributable to any such claim, provided that (i) the Customer promptly notifies Upstream in writing of such claim; and (ii) the Customer grants Upstream the authority to handle the defense or settlement of any such claim and provides Upstream with all reasonable information and assistance, at Upstream’s expense. Upstream will not be bound by any settlement that the Customer enters into without Upstream ‘s prior written consent.
