Master Service Agreement
The terms governing use of the LithicBlue platform.
This LithicBlue Master Services Agreement (“MSA”) is effective as of the effective date of an applicable signed order form (such form an “Order Form” and such date the “Effective Date”) and is by and between LithicBlue Pty Ltd and the customer set forth on the Order Form (“Customer”) (each a “Party” and together the “Parties”). In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the terms of the MSA and the terms of any Order Form, the terms of the Order Form control.
Section 1. Services
“Services” means the product(s) and service(s) that are ordered by Customer from LithicBlue online or through an Order Form referencing this MSA, whether on a trial or paid basis, and to which LithicBlue thereby provides access to Customer.

LithicBlue may suspend access to the Services if payment is more than thirty (30) days overdue, upon ten (10) days written notice. Any late payments will accrue interest at the rate of 1.5% per month, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less. Fees do not include local, state, or federal taxes or duties of any kind and any such taxes will be assumed and paid by Customer, except for taxes on LithicBlue based on LithicBlue's income or receipts.
Section 3. Term and Termination

Customer may designate and provide access to its (or its corporate affiliates') employees, independent contractors, or other agents to an account on the Services as authorized users (each an “Authorized User”) up to the number of “seats” set forth in the Order Form (unlimited if not specified in the Order Form). Each account may be used only by a single, individual Authorized User, and Customer may be charged for additional seats (if applicable), or LithicBlue may terminate the MSA for cause, if this requirement is circumvented. Customer is responsible for all use and misuse of the Services by Authorized User accounts and for adherence to this MSA by any Authorized Users, and references to Customer herein will be deemed to apply to Authorized Users as necessary and applicable. Customer agrees to promptly notify LithicBlue of any unauthorized access or use of which Customer becomes aware.

Section 5. Confidentiality
As used herein, the “Confidential Information” of a Party (the “Disclosing Party”) means all financial, technical, or business information of the Disclosing Party that the Disclosing Party designates as confidential at the time of disclosure to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) or that the Receiving Party reasonably should understand to be confidential based on the nature of the information or the circumstances surrounding its disclosure. For the sake of clarity, the Parties acknowledge that Confidential Information includes the terms and conditions of this MSA. Except as expressly permitted in this MSA, the Receiving Party will not disclose, duplicate, publish, transfer or otherwise make available Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in any form to any person or entity without the Disclosing Party's prior written consent. The Receiving Party will not use the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information except to perform its obligations under this MSA, such obligations including, in the case of LithicBlue, to provide the Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by law, provided that the Receiving Party: (a) gives the Disclosing Party prior written notice of such disclosure so as to afford the Disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to appear, object, and obtain a protective order or other appropriate relief regarding such disclosure (if such notice is not prohibited by applicable law); (b) uses diligent efforts to limit disclosure and to obtain confidential treatment or a protective order; and (c) allows the Disclosing Party to participate in the proceeding. Further, Confidential Information does not include any information that: (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without the Receiving Party's breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (ii) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without the Receiving Party's breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; or (iii) is received from a third party who obtained such Confidential Information without any third party's breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party.
Section 6. Data Practices
6.1. Definitions
“Service Data” means a subset of Confidential Information comprised of electronic data, text, messages, communications, or other materials submitted to and stored within the Services by Customer in connection with use of the Services. Service Data may include, without limitation, any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’) where an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to their physical, physiological, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person (such information, “Personal Data”). Service Data does not include metrics and information regarding Customer's use of the Services, including information about how Authorized Users use the Services (such information, “Usage Data”).
6.2. Ownership
Customer will continue to retain its ownership rights to all Service Data processed under the terms of this MSA and LithicBlue will own all Usage Data.
6.3. LithicBlue's Use of Data
LithicBlue may access, use, and process Service Data in accordance with this MSA as follows:
6.3.1. Operating the Services
LithicBlue may receive, collect, store, and process Service Data as necessary to operate and provide the Services. This includes collecting Personal Data (such as name, email address, and billing information) through account registration and processing Service Data to deliver the functionality of the Services.
6.3.2. Communications
LithicBlue may communicate with Customer or Authorized Users to: (i) send product updates, feature announcements, and promotional offers; or (ii) provide information about the Services generally. Customer or Authorized Users may opt out of promotional communications by emailing [email protected] or using the unsubscribe mechanism in such communications. Customer and Authorized Users will continue to receive transactional messages required to provide the Services (such as billing notices, security alerts, and service notifications).
6.3.3. Improving the Services
LithicBlue may collect and analyze Usage Data to develop new features, improve existing functionality, and inform product development. LithicBlue may engage third-party analytics providers to assist with such analysis. When Usage Data is used for these purposes, any Personal Data shall be anonymized and/or aggregated such that it no longer identifies any individual. LithicBlue may publish aggregated, anonymized statistics (e.g., aggregate platform usage trends) but shall not disclose Usage Data in a manner that identifies Customer.
6.3.4. Connecting to Third-Party Services
Customer may wish to connect third-party services to the Services (e.g., connecting LithicBlue to Customer's single-sign-on service to verify 2FA status of Customer's employees). When Customer uses a third-party service to connect with LithicBlue, logs into the Services through a third-party authentication service, or otherwise provides LithicBlue with access to information from a third-party service, LithicBlue may obtain other information, including Personal Data, from those third parties and combine that Service or Usage Data based on LithicBlue's legitimate interest in providing Customer with functionality that supports the Services. Any access that LithicBlue may receive to such information from a third-party service is always in accordance with the features and functionality, particularly as to authorization, of that service. By authorizing LithicBlue to connect with a third-party service, Customer authorizes LithicBlue to access and store any information provided to LithicBlue by that third-party service, and to use and disclose that information in accordance with this MSA.
6.3.5. Third-Party Service Providers
Customer agrees that LithicBlue may provide Service Data and Personal Data to authorized third-party service providers, only to the extent necessary to provide, secure, or improve the Services. Any such third-party service providers will only be given access to Service Data and Personal Data as is reasonably necessary to provide the Services and will be subject to (a) confidentiality obligations which are commercially reasonable and substantially consistent with the standards described in this MSA; and (b) their agreement to comply with the data transfer restrictions applicable to Personal Data as set forth below.
6.4. Service Data Safeguards
(i) LithicBlue will not sell, rent, or lease Service Data to any third party, and will not share Service Data with third parties, except as permitted by this MSA and to provide, secure, and support the Services. (ii) LithicBlue will maintain commercially reasonable (particularly for a company of LithicBlue's size and revenue) appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for protection of the security, confidentiality, and integrity of Service Data.
6.5 Restrictions on LithicBlue's Use
LithicBlue shall not use Service Data to train machine learning models or as inputs to LithicBlue's own advisory or consulting offerings. This restriction does not apply to anonymized, aggregated Usage Data that does not contain Service Data.
Section 7. Privacy Practices
7.1. Privacy Policy
LithicBlue operates the Services and, as applicable, handles Personal Data, pursuant to the privacy policy available in our trust center. Our trust center can be found at trust.lithicblue.com.
7.2. Customer as Controller
To the extent Service Data constitutes Personal Data, the Parties agree that Customer determines the purpose and means of processing such Personal Data, and LithicBlue processes such information on behalf of Customer.
7.3. Hosting and Data Residency
LithicBlue offers regional hosting. Each Customer organization is assigned a single hosting region (currently North America, Europe, or Oceania) at the time it is provisioned. Service Data, including any Personal Data within Service Data and its associated processing, is stored and processed within the Customer's assigned region and is not transferred outside that region, except as otherwise agreed in an Order Form (including any dedicated or alternative hosting arrangement). Where LithicBlue engages Sub-Processors to process Service Data, it will do so consistent with the Customer's assigned region. Further detail regarding LithicBlue's regions and how data residency works is available at lithicblue.com/docs/hosting/regions.
7.4. Sub-Processors
Customer acknowledges and agrees that LithicBlue may use third-party data processors engaged by LithicBlue who receive Service Data from LithicBlue for processing on behalf of Customer and in accordance with Customer's instructions (as communicated by LithicBlue) and the terms of its written subcontract (the “Sub-Processors”). Such Sub-Processors may access Service Data to provide, secure, and improve the Services. LithicBlue will be responsible for the acts and omissions of Sub-Processors to the same extent that LithicBlue would be responsible if LithicBlue was performing the services directly under the terms of this MSA. The names and locations of all current Sub-Processors used for the processing of Personal Data under this MSA, if any, are set forth in our trust center at trust.lithicblue.com.
Section 8. Intellectual Property Rights
Each Party will retain all rights, title and interest in any patents, inventions, copyrights, trademarks, domain names, trade secrets, know-how and any other intellectual property and/or proprietary rights (“Intellectual Property Rights”), and LithicBlue in particular will exclusively retain such rights in the Services and all components of or used to provide the Services. Customer hereby provides LithicBlue a fully paid-up, royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, sub-licensable (through multiple layers), assignable, irrevocable and perpetual license to implement, use, modify, commercially exploit, incorporate into the Services or otherwise use any suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations or other feedback LithicBlue receives from Customer, Customer's agents or representatives, Authorized Users, or other third parties acting on Customer's behalf; and LithicBlue also reserves the right to seek intellectual property protection for any features, functionality or components that may be based on or that were initiated by such suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations or other feedback.

Section 10. Indemnification
10.1. Indemnification by LithicBlue
LithicBlue will indemnify and hold Customer harmless from and against any third party claim against Customer alleging that Customer's use of a Service as permitted by this MSA infringes or misappropriates a third party's valid patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret (an “IP Claim”).

If use of a Service by Customer has become, or, in LithicBlue's opinion, is likely to become, the subject of any such IP Claim, LithicBlue may, at its option and expense, (i) procure for Customer the right to continue using the Service(s) as set forth hereunder; (ii) replace or modify a Service to make it non-infringing; or (iii) if options (i) or (ii) are not commercially reasonable or practicable as determined by LithicBlue, terminate Customer's subscription to the Service(s) and repay, on a pro-rata basis, any Fees previously paid to LithicBlue for the corresponding unused portion of the Term for such Service(s).
