This Subscription Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) constitutes a legal, binding agreement between Smarsh, Inc. (“Smarsh”) and the client identified in the order form (“Client”) for certain archiving or other Services (as defined in Section 1.1) and states the terms upon which Smarsh provides such Services to Client. The “Effective Date” of the Agreement shall be the date upon which Client first executes the order form for Services (“Order Form”). By executing an Order Form, Client agrees to the terms of this Agreement; provided that, to the extent of any conflicting term, the Order Form shall supersede this Agreement solely with respect to the conflicting term.

1. Services

1.1 Smarsh Services. Subject to Client’s compliance with this Agreement, Smarsh will provide, and hereby grants Client the limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable right to access and use Smarsh’s software as a service products, or other services, initially set forth in the order form executed by Client or purchased pursuant to Section 1.2 (“Services”). Service Descriptions are available at: https://www.smarsh.com/services and incorporated by reference herein (“Service Description”). Smarsh may modify the Services and the Service Descriptions from time to time, provided that such modifications do not materially adversely affect the Services.

1.2 Services Activation. Following execution of the Order Form, Smarsh shall initiate activation of the Service by providing Client with access to an account within the applicable Service (“Activation Date”). Client is responsible for (a) providing Smarsh with any historical data to be archived in a format acceptable to Smarsh; and (b) configuring Client messaging services or other systems to transmit Client Data (as defined in Section 3.4) to Smarsh.

1.3 Data Retention. Smarsh will retain Client Data for the Term of the Agreement, unless Client requests or implements specific retention policies within the Services. Any specific retention policies will be based on variables assigned to Client Data by Client and Client shall be solely responsible for the retention policies applied to Client Data. Following termination or expiration of this Agreement, Smarsh will retain the Client Data for a minimum of six (6) months.

1.4 Support & Service Level Agreements. Smarsh will provide the level of support applicable to the Service package purchased by Client. Client may find support FAQ’s, or initiate support requests by submitting support tickets, here: https://www.smarsh.com/support/.

1.5 Attestation Letter. If requested by Client, and required by regulations applicable to Client’s business, Smarsh will provide Client with Smarsh’s standard third party attestation letter.

1.6 Usage Licenses. A “Seat” means any user, device, email address, domain or other usage metric indicated on the Order Form for which Smarsh archives digital message data, hosts email or encrypts messages via the Services. If such Services are ordered by Client, Smarsh grants Client the right to use the Services for the number of Seats set forth in the Order Form. The number of Seats specified in the initial Order Form is Client’s minimum Seat commitment. Usage for certain Services is measured by the number of webpages associated with the URL(s) or other website based content which Client archives via Services. If such Services are ordered by Client, Smarsh grants Client the right to use the Services up to the number of webpages, URL(s) or other metric set forth in the Order Form (“Content License”). The number Content Licenses set forth in the initial Order Form is Client’s minimum commitment. Client understands and acknowledges that due to changes in Client’s URL(s), website(s), number of videos, hidden webpages or similar kinds of changes, Smarsh’s initial assessment of content to be archived is an estimate and may change between the date in which the assessment was conducted and the Activation Date. From time to time Smarsh may review Client’s account within the Services to validate Client’s usage of the Service for compliance with this Agreement. Additionally, Client agrees to provide Smarsh with usage reports in the format Smarsh may reasonably request. If Client’s use of a Services exceeds Client’s license for such Service, Client may be required to pay an additional fee for the applicable service to Client’s reseller.

Client’s obligation for indemnification shall be predicated upon (a) Smarsh providing Client with prompt written notice upon becoming aware of any such claim; provided that, Client shall not be relieved of its obligation for indemnification as the result of Smarsh’s failure to provide such notice unless Client is actually prejudiced in defending such a claim as a result of Smarsh’s failure to provide notice; (b) if requested by Client, and at Client’s expense, Smarsh reasonably cooperating with the defense of such claim; and (c) Smarsh allowing Client sole and exclusive control over the defense and settlement of any such claim.

4.3 Remedies. Each party acknowledges and agrees that a breach of the obligations of this Section 4 by the other party will result in irreparable injury to the disclosing party for which there will be no adequate remedy at law, and the disclosing party shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, in the event of any breach or threatened breach or intended breach by recipient.
