2.              The Software Service

2.1           The Software Service is accessible only to the Subscriber, and,  in the case of SMB Customers, to your Authorised End Users. In order to subscribe to our Software Service and, in the case of SMB Customers, for your staff or employees to have use of it, you must comply with these Terms and you accept sole responsibility for obtaining appropriate local or national accreditations, memberships, affiliations, insurances (or other relevant requirements) for conducting your business as a Subscriber.

2.2           If you are an Individual Customer you will have a single log-in for your personal use. If you are an SMB Customer, you will be provided with an administrative account with us in order for your Administrator to access the Software Service. Your administration account is strictly for your organisation’s use and you are not authorised to share or otherwise permit any other individual outside of your organisation to have access to or use your administration account, including members of the Subscriber’s Group (unless authorised by us in writing).

2.3           Notwithstanding the above, once the applicable Fees have been paid in full by you in accordance with the Agreement, if you are an Individual Customer we will grant access to the Software Service, and if you are an SMB Customer, we will provide you with the means to grant your Authorised End Users access to the Software Service. For the avoidance of doubt, if you are an SMB Customer, your Authorised End Users (other than the Administrator) are not permitted to have access to your administration account with us but can otherwise access the Software Service once they have registered and logged into their account with us.  In addition, each Authorised End User will be required to comply with the End User Terms (www.secureflag.com/terms/eula.html) in order to have access to and use the Software Service.

2.4           You acknowledge and agree that in the event an Authorised End User should leave employment or otherwise cease to be engaged by you at any time prior to the end of the relevant Subscription Term, the Administrator shall remove the relevant Authorised End User’s access to the Software Service, upon either of which the Authorised End User’s access to the Software Service shall be deactivated and access to the data, information or other material contained in it shall also cease. Notwithstanding this, the Subscription Fees shall still be payable in full and you will not be entitled to any refund although if you have an Enterprise subscription (but not for a Business subscription) you may be permitted to transfer the Software Service licence to another Authorised End User for the remaining duration of the relevant Subscription Term (as the case may be).

2.5           Individual licences are assigned to a named Authorised End User for the duration of at least one year. The permitted transfer referred to in clause 2.4 above will only apply where the relevant Authorised End User has left employment or otherwise ceased to be engaged by you. You are not otherwise permitted to re-allocate their licence to another individual, save during the first calendar month of any Renewal Period.

2.6           In relation to the Authorised End Users, you undertake that you will not allow any licence to be used by more than one individual Authorised End User.

2.7           If you are an SMB Customer, you may agree with us, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, to purchase additional Authorised End User licences and we shall grant access to the Software Service for the remaining period of the Subscription Term to such additional Authorised End Users in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. We may provide self-service facilities to increase the number of Authorised End Users, otherwise please contact us if you would like to increase the number of Authorised End Users and we will confirm the process and payment terms.

2.8           We may offer differing levels of subscription with access to different levels of functionality or services. Accordingly access to certain features may be restricted or limited, depending on your subscription type.

2.9           We reserve the right to add or remove services and functionality from any subscription type or to add or remove subscription types as we reasonably deem appropriate provided such changes do not materially or adversely affect the provision of the Software Service.

2.10        Please note that for SMB Customers, Authorised End Users may be subject to differing permission or access levels depending on the subscription you have taken out and which we will specify. We reserve the right to change the level of access or permissions applicable provided such changes do not materially or adversely affect the provision of the Software Service.

2.11        You agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorised access to, or Use of, the Software Service and will notify us as soon as possible if you become aware of any unauthorised access or Use. You agree to only Use the Software Service for lawful purposes and not to violate any law of any country or the intellectual property rights of any third party.

2.12        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Agreement does not permit you to Use the Software Service in order to supply similar services to any third party.

2.13        These terms and conditions will prevail over any terms and conditions used by you or contained or set out or referred to in any documents sent by you to us, including any purchase order; by entering into this Agreement, you agree irrevocably to waive the application of any such terms and conditions.

3.              Threat Model functionality

3.1           When using the Software Service, your Authorised End Users will have the option to input a textual description, images, diagrams, code or other inputs relating to a functionality or system they intend to build (“Input”) into a tool that generates a security diagram demonstrating the potential risks in their current design and how to incorporate the right compensating controls to mitigate those risks (the “Threat Model”). Please note that we do not save the Inputs.

3.2           To run the security analysis required for a Threat Model, the Input will be generated into a diagram automatically which can be modified by the relevant Authorised End User by adding elements and notes. The Authorised End User will have the option to save the resulting diagram (to reference or edit at a later stage).

3.2.1      We agree to keep confidential any information concerning your business and affairs that is:

3.2.2      provided to us as part of the Input; or

3.2.3      generated by the Threat Model functionality in accordance with the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement contained in clause 12 below.

3.3           We shall produce the Threat Model for the purpose set out in clause 3.1 above. The Threat Model should not be regarded as or relied upon as having comprehensively addressed all potential threats of the relevant application or functionality as inputted by the Authorised End User. The Threat Model will have been prepared on the basis of information, data and materials which were available at the time of creation. Accordingly, any conclusions, opinions or judgements made in the Threat Model should not be regarded as definitive or relied upon to the exclusion of other information, opinions and judgements.

3.4           Any decisions made by you, or by any organisation, agency or person who has read, received or been provided with information contained in the Threat Model (the “Recipient”) are decisions of the Recipient and we will not make, or be deemed to make, any decisions on behalf of any Recipient. We will not be liable for the consequences of any such decisions.

3.5           Any Recipient must take into account any other factors apart from the Threat Model of which they and their experts and advisers are or should be aware.

3.6           The information, data, conclusions, opinions and judgements set out in the Threat Model may relate to certain contexts and may not be suitable in other contexts. It is your responsibility to ensure that you do not use the information we provide in the wrong context.

4.              Restrictions

4.1           You agree that you will not, except as may be allowed by any applicable law which is incapable of exclusion by this Agreement between the Parties or except to the extent expressly permitted under these terms or agreed between us in writing:

4.1.9      use any robot, spider, scraper, or other automated means to access the Software Service or Software for any purpose without our written consent; or

4.1.10   attempt to obtain, or assist third parties in obtaining, access to the Software Service other than in accordance with these terms.

4.2           We will not be responsible for your integration of the Software Service within your systems and are not liable for any loss, damage or liability, not due to our negligence or our breach of this Agreement, that may arise as a result of this. 

5.              Fees & Payment

5.1           You agree to pay all applicable Fees (including the Subscription Fee) in accordance with these terms and the Confirmation Form. Unless the Confirmation Form sets out otherwise, the Subscription Fee shall be payable in advance of the Start Date, by credit or debit card payment. In the event that you wish to upgrade your subscription, the relevant additional fees shall be invoiced to you and will be payable by credit or debit card at the time of the upgrade. The relevant additional licenses shall be co-termed with the existing Initial Subscription Term or Renewal Period, whichever is applicable.

5.2           We reserve the right to charge you interest in respect of the late payment of any sum due under this Agreement (after as well as before judgment) at the rate of 1 per cent per annum above the base rate from time to time of the Bank of England from the due date until payment.

5.3           Notwithstanding clause 5.1 above, to the extent we have provided the Software Service but there remains Fees due from you which are outstanding for thirty (30) days or more from the payment due date (for instance if your credit or debt card payment has been subject to a charge-back or cancellation), we may at our discretion suspend access to the Software Service immediately and, we may delete your and the Authorised End Users’ accounts with Secureflag including any information uploaded or otherwise inputted into the Software Service.

5.4           In the event this Agreement is terminated by you under clause 13.4 or by us other than under clause 13.4, we will refund a pro rata proportion of any Subscription Fees paid in advance by you. In the event we terminate this Agreement under clause 13.4 or you terminate other than under clause 13.4 then no Subscription Fees paid in advance by you will be refundable to you. However other than as set out in this clause or elsewhere in this Agreement, Fees will only be refundable at our sole discretion and we are unlikely to provide you with a refund in the event that the Software Service is unused, an Authorised End User ceases to be engaged by you or in the event that you terminate, or change your subscription with us.

5.5           We reserve the right to change or amend our Subscription Fees on any relevant Renewal Date subject to providing you with notice of the increase to permit you to terminate your subscription.

6.              Support and Maintenance Services

6.1           We conduct comprehensive data security audits on a regular basis to ensure that any data held by us is secure. In addition, we will provide you with certain support and maintenance services during the term of this Agreement, as set out in Schedule 1 (“SLA”). Notwithstanding this, we may from time to time and at our discretion, vary our support services. If you require enhanced support please contact us at support@secureflag.com.

6.2           Where possible we will give you prior written notice of scheduled maintenance services that are likely to affect the availability of the Software Service or are likely to have a material negative impact upon the Software Service. We will endeavour to provide advance notice of the provision of any major upgrade.

6.3           We may suspend the provision of the support and maintenance services if any amount due to be paid by you under this Agreement is overdue, and we have given you at least thirty (30) days' written notice, following the amount becoming overdue, of our intention to suspend the support and maintenance services on this basis.

8.1           You acknowledge that all Intellectual Property Rights in the Software and Software Service belong and shall belong to us or our licensors (as the case may be), and you shall have no rights in or to the Software or Software Service other than the right to access the Software Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

8.3           You acknowledge and agree the Software Service may include links to other external websites or materials. We are not responsible for content on any site outside the Software Service so if you do follow a link to any of these websites, you acknowledge you do so at your own risk, and we will not be liable or otherwise be responsible in any way in relation to this.

9.              Warranty

9.1           Subject to the exceptions set out below and the limitations on our liability, we warrant that we have the right power and authority to authorise access to the Software Service upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and that the Software Service will comply in material respects with the functionality described in the Confirmation Form, documentation provided to you as a part of the vendor selection process, or to the extent applicable on our website or our other marketing materials when you register for it.

11.2        While we take reasonable technical steps to verify and authenticate Authorised End Users, we do not offer any guarantee that each user is the person they purport to be and we cannot guarantee that the Software Service will not be fraudulently used by purported end-users. We will therefore not be liable for fraudulent use of the Software Service by third parties (including supposedly Authorised End Users) save in circumstances arising directly from our negligence.

11.3        We will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the Software Service operates within applicable regulatory requirements as reported to us, but we will not be responsible for or liable for any regulatory requirements or obligations.

11.8        any other liability which may not be limited or excluded by law.

12.3        Each of the Parties will take all such steps as shall from time to time be necessary to ensure compliance with the provisions of this clause by its employees, agents and subcontractors.

12.4        For the avoidance of doubt, these terms apply throughout the Subscription Term and shall continue following termination of this Agreement.

13.2        You will be provided with seven (7) days’ notice in writing by email to the email address provided as contact for the Subscriber prior to the Software Service automatically renewing in accordance with clause 13.1. Should you not wish to renew your subscription, you must turn off renewal via your account page on SecureFlag’s website at any time prior to a Renewal Date. If the Subscriber does not cancel their subscription in time and they enter a new billing period, the Fees in respect of that new Renewal Period will still be payable by the Subscriber and will not be refunded.

13.3        Notwithstanding the above or anything to the contrary in these terms, you are free to cancel your subscription to the Software Service at any time via your account page on SecureFlag’s website. Upon cancelling your subscription, you and the Authorised End Users will have access to the Software Service for the remainder of the Subscription Term however all Fees will still be due and payable by you for the full Initial Subscription Term or Renewal Period (as the case may be) and no refunds will be made. At the end of the applicable Subscription Term you and the Authorised End Users will no longer be permitted to use the Software Service.

13.4        Without affecting any other rights or remedies available to it, either Party may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect by giving written notice to the other Party if:

13.4.1   the other Party fails to pay any amount due under this Agreement on the due date for payment and remains in default not less than thirty (30) days after being notified in writing to make such payment; or

13.4.2   the other Party commits a material breach of any other term of this Agreement which breach is irremediable or (if such breach is remediable) fails to remedy that breach within a period of thirty (30) days after being notified in writing to do so.

14.           Reserved

15.           General

15.1        Entire Agreement: This Agreement constitutes the whole agreement and understanding of the Parties and supersedes any previous arrangement, understanding or agreement between them relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. Each Party acknowledges that, in entering into this Agreement, it has not relied on, and shall have no right or remedy in respect of, any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether made negligently or innocently) other than as expressly set out in this Agreement, provided always that nothing in this clause shall limit or exclude any liability for fraud.

15.2        No Waiver: The Parties agree that a failure by either Party to enforce the performance of any provision in this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of the right to subsequently enforce that provision or any other provision of this Agreement. Such failure shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach and shall not constitute a continuing waiver.

15.3        Severance: If any provision of this Agreement (or part of a provision) is found by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, the other provisions shall remain in force. If any invalid, unenforceable or illegal provision would be valid, enforceable or legal if some part of it were deleted, the provision shall apply with the minimum modification necessary to make it legal, valid and enforceable.

15.4        Variation: Unless otherwise expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, this Agreement may be varied only in writing by both of the Parties. A reference to “writing” or “written” in this Agreement includes email.

15.5        Notices: All notices or communication given under this Agreement shall be in writing. Notices shall be deemed to have been duly given:

o        when delivered, if delivered by courier or other messenger (including registered mail) during normal business hours of the recipient;

o        when sent by e-mail,  at the time of transmission (provided a delivery failure notification has not been received);

o        on the fifth business day following mailing, if mailed by national ordinary mail, postage prepaid;

o        on the tenth business day following mailing, if mailed by airmail, postage prepaid.

If deemed receipt as set out above would occur outside business hours in the place of receipt, it shall be deferred until business hours resume. In this clause, business hours means 9.00am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday on a day that is not a public holiday in the place of receipt.

In each case notices should be addressed to the address or e-mail address given in this Agreement or as otherwise notified to the other Party in writing. In the case of Secureflag, the email address for service of notices is directors@secureflag.com.

15.6        Assignment: You are not entitled to assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement or any of your rights or obligations, nor are you permitted to sublicense the use (in whole or in part) of the Software Service without our prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may assign any of your rights or obligations under this Agreement to another entity within the Subscriber’s Group or to an entity with which you merge, consolidate or amalgamate or to which you transfer all or substantially all of your assets, upon prior written notice and provided that the assignee agrees to be bound by the Agreement.

15.7        Force Majeure: Neither Party will be liable to the other for any delay in performing or failure to perform any of its obligations (other than a payment obligation) under this Agreement as a result of any cause outside its reasonable control. Subject to the affected Party promptly notifying the other Party in writing of the cause and the likely duration of the delay or non-performance and provided that the affected Party shall use reasonable endeavours to limit the effect of such event on such other Party, such delay or failure, to the extent affected by the cause will not constitute a breach of the Agreement.

15.8        Rights & Remedies: Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all rights contained in this Agreement and all remedies available to either Party for breach of this Agreement are cumulative and may be exercised separately or concurrently. The exercise of any one right or remedy shall not be deemed an election of such right or remedy to the exclusion of other rights and remedies.
