3.6 Cloud Availability.

Cribl will provide Cloud Products with at least 99.9% availability during any thirty-day period; Cloud Products that Cribl designates as free or that involve customer-managed components in a hybrid cloud deployment do not have a minimum availability requirement.

Availability calculations for Cloud Products that Cribl designates as Search-based are based on your ability to submit a query to Search-based Cloud Products over all five-minute periods of a thirty-day period. If you are unable to submit a query during a five-minute period, the corresponding Search-based Cloud Product is deemed unavailable for that five-minute period; if no submissions are made during a five-minute period, that Search-based Cloud Product is deemed available for that five-minute period. Availability calculations for all other Cloud Products are based on the availability of the given Cloud Product for processing during a thirty-day period.

Availability calculations do not include scheduled and emergency maintenance, disruption due to your equipment or system failures, your failure to comply with this agreement, or any disruption outside of Cribl’s reasonable control, including without limitation wide-spread Internet outages and acts of God.

If Cribl does not provide Cloud Products with the applicable minimum uptime, Cribl will provide you with Cloud Product Credits equal to 5% of your previous month’s usage from the month in which the disruption occurred if the disruption is between 99% and 99.9% uptime, 10% if between 98% and less than 99%, and 20% if less than 98%.

To request a Cloud Product Credit, you must submit a ticket to support with sufficient information and documentation to show the qualifying downtime. Cribl will review the request and make determinations, within thirty days of receiving your request and in its complete discretion, of whether and the extent to which a qualifying downtime occurred. Cribl will provide appropriate Cloud Product Credits within thirty days of determining a qualifying downtime occurred.

3.7 Compliance.

You and Cribl must follow all applicable laws, rules, regulations, contracts, and other legal requirements, including without limitation all requirements described in the compliance addendum available at https://cribl.io/legal/ca; the compliance addendum is incorporated by reference into this agreement. You and Cribl must comply with all applicable anti-bribery, anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, sanctions, and prohibited-country requirements, limitations, and rules. You must comply with all applicable import and export controls and obtain all licenses and approvals necessary to download, deploy, or use Cribl Products.

You cannot modify Cribl Products, create derivative works from Cribl Products, or reverse engineer any part of Cribl Products unless agreed to by Cribl in your Order.

3.8 Acceptable Use.

Cribl may suspend your use of Cloud Products if Cribl reasonably believes you are using Cloud Products in violation of applicable law, disrupting Cribl’s systems or other users, or otherwise using a Cloud Product inappropriately.

5. Limited warranties and liability.

You and Cribl are entitled to seek all legal or equitable remedies that will satisfy each of our rights and obligations under this agreement or your obligation to pay for Cribl Products or any additional features of any Cribl Products you have purchased from Cribl.

IF A COURT FINDS THAT EITHER PARTY BREACHED THIS CONTRACT AND LOSSES WERE SUFFERED AS A RESULT OF THAT BREACH, THE BREACHING PARTY WILL COMPENSATE THE NON-BREACHING PARTY FOR SUCH LOSSES TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

THE MAXIMUM CUMULATIVE LIABILITY UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT IS LIMITED TO THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FEES YOU PAID TO CRIBL IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE FIRST EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY UNLESS THE LIABILITY RELATES TO YOUR VIOLATION OF CRIBL’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, A VIOLATION OF THE CONFIDENTIALITY REQUIREMENTS IN SECTION 4, OR CRIBL’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS.

CRIBL PROVIDES CRIBL PRODUCTS “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE RISK OF USING CRIBL PRODUCTS.

CRIBL MAY MAKE AVAILABLE THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS THROUGH CRIBL PRODUCTS, BUT ONLY “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE RISK OF USING THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cribl will indemnify you for damages awarded against you from a third-party claim that Cribl Products infringe the intellectual property rights of that third party except to the extent the infringement arises from your breach of this agreement, the use of your data or any software or technology other than Cribl Products, or otherwise from your actions. Cribl may, in its sole and complete discretion, modify a Cribl Product to make it no longer infringe a third-party right, obtain authorization for you to continue using a Cribl Product under this agreement, or terminate this agreement or an Order and refund prior payments attributable to the unused remainder of the contract term of paid usage as provided in Section 6.

To be eligible for indemnification, (1) you must promptly notify Cribl in writing of the action, proceeding, or other claim that may give rise to damages, and no later than notice sufficient to allow Cribl to respond to such claims without prejudice; (2) you must reasonably cooperate with Cribl at Cribl’s expense; and (3) Cribl must have exclusive right to control and direct the investigation, defense, or settlement of such claims. You may participate in the defense of such claims at your expense.

This agreement does not create any employment, partnership, joint venture, or other agency relationship between you and Cribl. This agreement only acts to benefit you and Cribl; it does not act to benefit any third party.
