ECS Service Terms

The following Service Terms apply only to the specific Services to which the Service Terms relate. In the event of a conflict between the terms of these Service Terms and the terms of the ECS Customer Agreement or other agreement with us governing your use of our Services (the “Agreement”), the terms and conditions of these Service Terms apply, but only to the extent of such conflict. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

  1. Universal Service Terms (Applicable to All Services)

    1. You may only use the Services to store, retrieve, query, serve, and execute Your Content that is owned, licensed or lawfully obtained by you. As used in these Service Terms, (a) “Your Content” includes any “Company Content” and any “Customer Content” and (b) “ECS Content” includes “Enseva Properties”. As part of the Services, you may be allowed to use certain software (including related documentation) provided by us or third party licensors. This software is neither sold nor distributed to you and you may use it solely as part of the Services. You may not transfer it outside the Services without specific authorization to do so.

    2. You must comply with the current technical documentation applicable to the Services (including the applicable developer guides) as posted by us and updated by us from time to time on the ECS Site. In addition, if you create technology that works with a Service, you must comply with the current technical documentation applicable to that Service (including the applicable developer guides) as posted by us and updated by us from time to time on the ECS Site.

    3. You will provide information or other materials related to Your Content (including copies of any client-side applications) as reasonably requested by us to verify your compliance with the Agreement. We may monitor the external interfaces (e.g., ports) of Your Content to verify your compliance with the Agreement. You will not block or interfere with our monitoring, but you may use encryption technology or firewalls to help keep Your Content confidential. You will reasonably cooperate with us to identify the source of any problem with the Services that we reasonably believe may be attributable to Your Content or any end user materials that you control.

    4. If we reasonably believe any of Your Content violates the law, infringes or misappropriates the rights of any third party or otherwise violates a material term of the Agreement (including the documentation, the Service Terms, or the Acceptable Use Policy) (“Prohibited Content”), we will notify you of the Prohibited Content and may request that such content be removed from the Services or access to it be disabled. If you do not remove or disable access to the Prohibited Content within 2 business days of our notice, we may remove or disable access to the Prohibited Content or suspend the Services to the extent we are not able to remove or disable access to the Prohibited Content. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may remove or disable access to any Prohibited Content without prior notice in connection with illegal content, where the content may disrupt or threaten the Services, pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act or as required to comply with law or any judicial, regulatory or other governmental order or request. In the event that we remove content without prior notice, we will provide prompt notice to you unless prohibited by law.

    5. From time to time, we may offer free or discounted pricing programs covering certain usage of the Services (each, a “Special Pricing Program”). We may stop accepting new sign-ups or discontinue a Special Pricing Program at any time. Standard charges will apply after a Special Pricing Program ends or if you exceed the limitations by the Special Pricing Program. You must comply with any additional terms, restrictions, or limitations (e.g., limitations on the total amount of usage) for the Special Pricing Program as described in the offer terms for the Special Pricing Program or on the pricing page for the eligible Service(s). You may not access or use the Services in a way intended to avoid any additional terms, restrictions, or limitations (e.g., establishing multiple ECS accounts in order to receive additional benefits under a Special Pricing Program), and we may immediately terminate your account if you do so. Any data stored or instances provided as part of a Special Pricing Program must be actively used.

    6. If we make multiple discounts or pricing options for a Service available to you at one time, you will only be eligible to receive one discount or pricing option, and will not be entitled to cumulative discounting and pricing options.

    7. You will ensure that all information you provide to us via the ECS Site (for instance, information provided in connection with your registration for the Services, requests for increased usage limits, etc.) is accurate, complete and not misleading.

    8. From time to time, we may apply upgrades, patches, bug fixes or other maintenance to the Service Offerings (“Maintenance”). We agree to use reasonable efforts to provide you with prior notice of any scheduled Maintenance (except for emergency Maintenance) and you agree to use reasonable efforts to comply with any Maintenance requirements that we notify you about.

    9. If your Agreement does not include a provision on ECS Confidential Information, and you and ECS do not have an effective non-disclosure agreement in place, then you agree that you will not disclose ECS Confidential Information (as defined in the ECS Customer Agreement), except as required by law.

    10. Preview Service Participation
      (a) This Section describes the additional terms and conditions under which you may access and use certain features, technologies and services made available to you by ECS that are not yet generally available, including, but not limited to, any products, services, or features labeled “Preview”, “preview”, “pre-release”, or “experimental” (each, a “Preview Service”) or access and use Service Offerings available in ECS regions that are not generally available, including, but not limited to, any ECS regions identified by ECS as “Preview”, “preview”, “pre-release”, or “experimental” (each, a “Preview Region”). In the event there is a conflict between the terms of this Section and an existing ECS Preview Test Participation Agreement between you and ECS, the terms of the existing ECS Preview Test Participation Agreement will take precedence.

      (b) During the term of the applicable Preview Service or Preview Region (as specified by ECS), you may: (a) access and use the Preview Service or Service Offerings in any Preview Region solely for internal evaluation purposes; and (b) install, copy, and use any related ECS Content that may be provided to you by ECS in connection with the Preview Service or Service Offerings in any Preview Region (“Preview Materials”) solely as necessary to access and use the Preview Service or Service Offerings in any Preview Region in the manner permitted by this Section.

      (c) You must comply with all policies and guidelines related to any Preview Service or Preview Region as posted on the ECS Site or otherwise made available to you, including the Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, the Service Terms, and any additional terms and conditions for a specific Preview Service or Preview Region. ECS may add or modify restrictions, including lowering or raising any usage limits, related to access to or use of any Preview Service, Service Offerings in any Preview Region or Preview Materials at any time. If requested by ECS, you will promptly increase or decrease your usage of the applicable Preview Service, Service Offerings in a Preview Region or Preview Materials to the levels that ECS may specify. Service Level Agreements do not apply to Preview Services or any Services Offerings in Preview Regions.

      (d) ECS may suspend or terminate your access to or use of any Preview Service or Service Offerings in any Preview Region at any time and for any reason. ECS may at any time cease providing any or all of any Preview Service or any Service Offering in a Preview Region in its sole discretion and without notice. Preview Services and Services Offerings in Preview Regions also may be unavailable and/or their performance may be negatively affected by scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. ECS will use reasonable efforts to notify you in advance of scheduled maintenance, but ECS is unable to provide advance notice of unscheduled or emergency maintenance.

      (e) In consideration of being allowed to access and use a Preview Service or Service Offering in a Preview Region, you agree to provide ECS with information relating to your access, use, testing, or evaluation of the Preview Service, Service Offerings in the Preview Region or any related Preview Materials, including observations or information regarding the performance, features and functionality of the Preview Service or any related Preview Materials as applicable, when and in the form reasonably requested by ECS (“Test Observations”). ECS will own and may use and evaluate all Test Observations for its own purposes. You will not use any Test Observations except for your internal evaluation purposes of the Preview Service or Preview Region.

      (f) Each individual Preview Service and Service Offering in a Preview Region will automatically terminate upon the release of a generally available version of the applicable Preview Service or Service Offering in a Preview Region or upon notice of termination by ECS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or these Services Terms, either you or ECS may terminate your participation in a Preview Service or Service Offering in a Preview Region at any time for any reason upon notice to the other party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, after the conclusion of your participation in a Preview Service or Service Offering in a Preview Region for any reason, (i) you will not have any further right to access or use the applicable Preview Service or Service Offering in the Preview Region and Preview Materials; (ii) your Content used in the applicable Preview Service or Service Offering in the Preview Region may be deleted or inaccessible; and (iii) you will immediately return or, if instructed by ECS, destroy all Preview Materials or any other ECS Confidential Information related to the applicable Preview Service, Service Offering in any Preview Region or Preview Materials. If ECS releases a generally available version of a Preview Service or a Service Offering in a Preview Region, your access to and use of the generally available version will be subject to the Agreement and any separate Section of these Service Terms as may be specified for that generally available Service Offering. If any Preview Region becomes generally available, your access to and use of Service Offerings in the generally available ECS region will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to that ECS region. ECS does not guarantee that any Preview Service or Service Offering in any Preview Region will ever be made generally available, or that any generally available version will contain the same or similar functionality as the version made available by ECS during the term of the Preview Service or Preview Region, as applicable. ECS does not guarantee that any Preview Region will become generally available.

      (g) Preview Materials, Test Observations, Suggestions concerning a Preview Service or Preview Region, or any other information about or involving (including the existence of) any Preview Service or Preview Region are considered ECS Confidential Information. You will not disclose (including, but not limited to, in a press release or public statement) any Preview Materials, Test Observations, Suggestions concerning a Preview Service, or any other information about or involving (including the existence of) any Preview Service, except as agreed by ECS in writing.

      (h) ADDITIONAL WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY DISCLAIMERS IN THE AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICE TERMS, THE PREVIEW SERVICES, SERVICE OFFERINGS IN PREVIEW REGIONS, PREVIEW REGIONS AND PREVIEW MATERIALS ARE NOT READY FOR GENERAL COMMERCIAL RELEASE AND MAY CONTAIN BUGS, ERRORS, DEFECTS OR HARMFUL COMPONENTS. ACCORDINGLY, AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THE AGREEMENT OR THESE SERVICES TERMS, ECS IS PROVIDING THE PREVIEW SERVICES, SERVICE OFFERINGS IN PREVIEW REGIONS AND PREVIEW MATERIALS TO YOU “AS IS.” ECS AND ITS AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE REGARDING THE PREVIEW SERVICES, SERVICE OFFERINGS IN PREVIEW REGIONS, PREVIEW REGIONS AND PREVIEW MATERIALS, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY THAT THE PREVIEW SERVICES, SERVICE OFFERINGS IN PREVIEW REGIONS, PREVIEW REGIONS AND PREVIEW MATERIALS WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR FREE OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY CONTENT, INCLUDING YOUR CONTENT, WILL BE SECURE OR NOT OTHERWISE LOST OR DAMAGED. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY LAW, ECS AND ITS AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF ANY COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. ECS’ AND ITS AFFILIATES’ AND LICENSORS’ AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY PREVIEW SERVICES WILL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAY US UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR THE PREVIEW SERVICES THAT GAVE RISE TO THE CLAIM DURING THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
      (i) Because the Preview Services and Materials involve features, technologies and services that are not yet generally available, you acknowledge that any violation of this Section 1.10 could cause irreparable harm to ECS for which monetary damages may be difficult to ascertain or an inadequate remedy. You therefore agree that ECS will have the right, in addition to its other rights and remedies, to seek injunctive relief for any violation of this Section 1.10.

    11. You may perform benchmarks or comparative tests or evaluations (each, a “Benchmark Test”) of the Service Offerings; provided, however, that you may not, and may not direct or permit third-parties to, disclose results or data produced from any Benchmark Test of a Service Offering, unless: (a) such disclosure includes all information necessary for us or any third-party to completely and accurately replicate the Benchmark Test; (b) you permit us to perform Benchmark Tests of your products or services and to disclose results or data produced from such Benchmark Tests, provided that such disclosure includes all information necessary for you or any third-party to completely and accurately replicate the Benchmark test; and (c) if you perform a Benchmark Test for a third-party, directly or indirectly, in exchange for consideration, you will identify the third-party and you represent and warrant that you have procured all rights necessary for us to perform Benchmark Tests of the third-party’s products or services and to disclose results or data produced from such Benchmark Tests.

You are solely responsible for the implementation and results of any suggestions or advice received.

    3. Unless otherwise set forth in the Guidelines, ECS Support fees will be the greater of (a) the specified minimum monthly fee, or (b) a percentage of your monthly usage charges for all Services during the billing period. Regardless of when you sign up or terminate ECS Support, you are obligated to pay for a minimum of thirty (30) days of support each time you register to receive the service. Implementation of any suggested configurations or improvements may result in additional fees and charges. We reserve the right to refuse to provide ECS Support to any customer that frequently registers for and terminates the service.

  9. ECS Marketplace & Symphony Marketplace

    1. The ECS Marketplace is a venue operated by ECS and our partners that allows Content to be offered, sold, and bought. Content may be sold by ECS or a third party, and the party offering or selling the Content may specify separate terms and conditions and privacy policies for the use of the Content. If the Content is offered or sold by a third party, that party will be the seller of record for the Content. ECS is not a party to the terms with respect to Content offered or sold by third parties. Any Content of third parties offered through the ECS Marketplace constitutes “Third Party Content” under the Agreement. While ECS may help facilitate the resolution of disputes between you and third parties, ECS is not responsible for Third Party Content and has no control over and does not guarantee the quality, safety or legality of items advertised, the truth or accuracy of Third Party Content or listings, or the ability of sellers to offer the Content.

    2. Except to the extent Content is provided to you under a separate license that expressly states otherwise, neither you nor any End User may, or may attempt to, (a) modify, alter, tamper with, repair, or otherwise create derivative works of any Content, (b) reverse engineer, disassemble, or decompile the Content or apply any other process or procedure to derive the source code of any software included in the Content, (c) resell or sublicense the Content, (d) transfer Content outside the Services without specific authorization to do so, or (e) tamper with or circumvent any controls or make unauthorized copies of the Content.

    3. ECS may stop providing the ECS Marketplace (or any features of or listings within the ECS Marketplace) to you at ECS’s sole discretion, without prior notice to you. In addition, ECS may disable or remove Content already purchased, if ECS determines in its sole discretion that the Content may violate any ECS policies or any other regulations, policies or lECS.

    4. You authorize ECS, its affiliates, and its third-party payment processors and any service providers to charge the payment method you select in your ECS account for Content that you purchase in the ECS Marketplace. This may include one-time payments as well as recurring payments. A “recurring payment” is a payment that occurs at the specified intervals and amounts provided at the time of purchase (e.g. annually or monthly). The applicable fees and billing periods for the Content are listed on the confirmation screen when you place your order. Your authorizations will remain until cancelled. You may cancel your subscriptions at any time by logging into “Your Software Subscriptions” on the ECS Site. Unless we specify otherwise, only valid credit cards may be used to purchase a recurring payment subscription.

  10. Symphony API

    1. You may use the Symphony API Gateway to publish, maintain, monitor, and secure Your Content at any scale to accept and process concurrent API calls, including traffic management, authorization and access control, monitoring, and API version management.

    2. By using the Symphony API Gateway you acknowledge and agree that established throttling thresholds may vary, cache services may be limited by us in our sole discretion, and version capacity will not exceed 300 deployments per API at any given time. In addition and without limiting your obligations under the Agreement, you agree not to and not to attempt to: (i) access any resources not assigned to you by us; and/or (ii) perform any form of network discovery and/or load testing of Your Content inside the Amazon API Gateway.

    3. You are solely responsible for the access, operation, performance, and security of all Your Content you use with Symphony API Gateway.

  11. ECS Professional Services

    1. “ECS Professional Services” are advisory services and implementation assistance designed to help you use the other Services. If ECS provides ECS Professional Services to you, then this Section 60 will apply. References to “Services” in the Agreement include ECS Professional Services.

    2. To receive ECS Professional Services, you must sign a statement of work for each specific project, which will describe the project and may include additional terms and conditions applicable to the project (each, a “SOW”). Each SOW is made part of the Agreement. ECS or any of its affiliates may enter into SOWs with you. For the purposes of an SOW, references to “ECS” in the SOW and the Agreement will be interpreted as references to the ECS entity that signs the SOW. No ECS entity other than the ECS entity that signs the SOW has any obligations under such SOW. Any SOW (together with the Agreement as amended by such SOW) is intended by the parties as a final, complete and exclusive expression of the terms of their agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether oral or written) between the parties with respect to such subject matter. If there is a conflict between a SOW and this Section 60, and the SOW explicitly states that it intends to modify the conflicting terms, then the SOW will control.

    3. Each SOW will show the charges for the ECS Professional Services that ECS will provide. Charges are exclusive of applicable taxes, duties and levies (e.g., VAT, GST, sales tax and use tax). Charges for ECS Professional Services are in addition to any applicable fees for your use of the other Services. ECS will invoice you monthly for the ECS Professional Services and you must pay all invoiced amounts in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Payments for ECS Professional Services are not refundable.
    4. You acknowledge that ECS does not provide legal or compliance advice. You are responsible for making your own assessment of your legal and regulatory requirements and whether your proposed use of the Services meets those requirements.

    5. As stated in the Agreement, you are solely responsible for your use of Third Party Content, and this includes any Third Party Content recommended by ECS. Other than Third Party Content, Content that ECS provides as part of the ECS Professional Services is “ECS Content.” You are solely responsible for testing, deploying, maintaining and supporting Content provided or recommended by ECS.
    6. Any materials or information that you own or license from a third party that is provided to ECS for the purposes of the ECS Professional Services are “Your Content.” If you choose to provide access to Your Content to ECS, then you will ensure that you have adequate rights and permissions to do so.
