Cloudnine Realtime Professional Services – Terms and Conditionals

The following Terms and Conditions govern all “Professional Services” provided by RTB Global, Inc. d/b/a Cloudnine Realtime (hereinafter referred to as “Cloudnine”) or through its affiliates identified in any Service Order or Statement of Work.

  1. Deliverables– The project deliverables for Professional Services will be identified on an ‘As-Need’ basis, recorded on a Statement of Work (“SOW”) or in a Service Order Form, including an estimate of hours to complete the project, and approved by the Client prior to work commencing. To the extent a SOW is used, such SOW shall be incorporated by reference into these Terms and Conditions and governed by the same terms as set forth below. Upon completion of the work set forth in any SOW, Cloudnine will deliver a document via e-mail entitled “End of Project,” which will signify that Cloudnine has completed the work set forth in the SOW and that no further work will be performed by Cloudnine without Client executing a new SOW. Cloudnine’s Professional Service Department’s hours are Monday through Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (PST) (excepting certain holidays). Cloudnine will make its best efforts to respond to all calls or e-mails to Professional Services by the next business day.
  2. Confidential Information– To the extent that the completion of the Professional Services set forth in an executed SOW requires Cloudnine to access Client’s data, Cloudnine acknowledges that Client’s data shall be treated as confidential information. Client hereby authorizes Cloudnine to access Client’s data only as reasonably necessary to complete the Professional Services set forth in the particular SOW. To the extent that Client delivers a copy of Client’s data to Cloudnine, Cloudnine will only maintain that copy for purposes of completing a particular project, after which point Cloudnine will destroy all copies of Client’s data that it had in its possession. Cloudnine further warrants that it will maintain the confidential nature of Client’s data and will not disclose the data or its contents to third parties without the Client’s express written consent.
  3. Data Transfer, Migration, Importation, Copying or Manipulation– Where an SOW calls for data transfer, migration, importation, copying or manipulation, errors and omissions, or other factors which may result in data being over-inclusive, under-inclusive, or incomplete. To the extent Client provides Cloudnine with data for the purposes of transferring, migrating, importation, copying or manipulating, Client herby confirms that it has the legal right to provide the data to Cloudnine, and expressly authorizes Cloudnine to perform such tasks. Client further acknowledges that if a dispute arises over whether Client has the legal right to possess or control the data prior to Cloudnine performing the transfer, migration, importation, copying or manipulation, Cloudnine will not perform such tasks absent written authorization from the party originally disputing Client’s right to the data or a court order.).
  4. Modification/Customization– To the extent Cloudnine performs for Client any modifications, special features and/or customization to Client’s Cloudnine environment or related applications, Cloudnine shall retain all intellectual property rights to such modifications, special features and/or customization. Client will only receive a non-exclusive, limited and non-transferable license to use the modifications, special features and customizations during the term of Client’s current Subscription, and contingent upon Client timely paying all fees due for such Subscription. Cloudnine shall provide Client with a 30-Day Warranty on any modification, special feature or customization following the delivery of the modification, special feature or customization to Client. After the 30-Day Warranty has expired, Professional Services can be retained on an hourly basis to assist with this assessment or analysis. Any such services shall be governed by a separate SOW.
  5. Training– To the extent Client uses Professional Service hours for training, unless expressly stated in an SOW or in a Service Order Form, all training will be provided remotely (i.e., not an onsite visit to Client’s location). Client acknowledges that if Client fails to attend a scheduled training session without providing Cloudnine with notice at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled training session, Cloudnine will charge Client the equivalent of one hour of Professional Services time. If such an event occurs and Client does not have any Professional Service hours in its account, Client’s credit card or ACH on file with Cloudnine will be charged $197. Client acknowledges that in certain instances, in order to facilitate training on Client’s actual data, Client’s data may be stored in Microsoft Azure (which Client may be charged for).
  6. Payment for Services– Cloudnine will charge Client for the Professional Services contemplated in an executed SOW at a rate of $197 per hour. Client shall have an option to purchase Professional Service hours by the block at a discounted price based on the rate set forth in a Service Order or SOW executed by Client. The amount of Pre-Paid blocks of Professional Services hours purchased by Client shall not be deemed as estimate of the hours necessary to complete any Professional Services task or project. Cloudnine will not start work on those Professional Services until it has received written approval from Client for the amount of estimated allocated hours to complete the Professional Services, and either payment for the total amount of hours approved or approval to execute against the Pre-Paid block of Professional Service hours which Client may have on the books. Optionally, Client may request Cloudnine to bill for services rendered against the approved SOW, in which case, Cloudnine shall issue a progress billing invoice on a weekly basis, which shall be due upon receipt. Cloudnine may be required to charge sales tax on any and all charges for Professional Services. Any such taxes will be in addition to the amounts charged for such services. To the extent that any foreign government imposes a tax, tariff or similar charge on Cloudnine arising out of Client’s purchase of Professional Services hours, Client agrees Client will be solely responsible for paying such fees. Cloudnine will not continue to work on a Professional Service project until the last progress bill payment has been processed and posted to the account. Client understands that the estimate to complete the services set forth in the SOW is only an estimate, and it may require more hours to complete the services. To the extent that additional hours are required to complete the work, Cloudnine will provide a change order request to be approved by Client and Client agrees to pay the additional hours estimated to complete the services set in the change order. Where Client has available hours in Client’s Professional Services Account, the additional hours needed to complete the services will be debited from Client’s Professional Services Account. Where Client does not have sufficient hours available in Client’s Professional Services Account to cover all of the hours needed to complete the services Cloudnine will invoice Client for the additional hours that have not been paid and Client agrees to make payment upon receipt of the invoice. To the extent that it takes Cloudnine less than the estimated allocated hours to complete the services set forth in the SOW or Client wishes to cancel the services or Project, the remaining hours purchased that were not expended by Cloudnine in an effort to complete the services contemplated by the SOW will be credited back to Client’s Professional Services Account for future use. Client hereby acknowledges that all Professional Service hours purchased by Client shall expire on the year anniversary of when those particular hours were purchased. Client further acknowledges that to the extent Cloudnine is required to travel to complete the professional services contemplated in a SOW, Client shall be responsible for paying Cloudnine’s reasonable expenses associated with such travel (including but not limited to travel expenses). Any fees due under these Terms and Conditions that are greater than 15 days past due shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent per month.
  7. Limitation of Liability– IN NO EVENT SHALL CLOUDNINE OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE TO CLIENT FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF GOOD WILL, DAMAGE TO BUSINESS REPUTATION, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, WORK STOPPAGE, LOSS OF DATA, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR OTHER SUCH PECUNIARY LOSS), WHETHER UNDER A THEORY OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF CLOUDNINE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL CLOUDNINE OR ITS AFFILIATES’ TOTAL AGGREGATE AND CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO CLIENT FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OF ANY KIND ARISING AS A RESULT OF OR RELATED TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES PERFORMED BY CLOUDNINE OR ITS AFFILIATES, OR TO ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF CLOUDNINE, EXCEED THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY CLIENT TO CLOUDNINE FOR THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AT ISSUE. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY EVEN IF THE ABOVE STATED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. CLIENT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS PROVISION REFLECTS THE AGREED UPON ALLOCATION OF RISK FOR CLOUDNINE TO PROVIDE THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AND THAT CLOUDNINE WOULD NOT ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT WITHOUT THESE LIMITATIONS ON ITS LIABILITY.
  8. Warranty– Due to numerous factors, including but not limited to the rapid changes in technology, Cloudnine cannot guarantee that the deliverables identified in a SOW will be completed precisely as originally contemplated or at all. Cloudnine does warrants that it will use its best efforts to complete the work contemplated in a SOW and that such work be performed in a professional manner. THIS WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND ANY ORAL OR WRITTEN REPRESENTATIONS, PROPOSALS OR STATEMENTS MADE ON OR PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF ANY AGREEMENT BETWEEN CLIENT AND CLOUDNINE.
  9. Indemnification– Client shall fully indemnify, hold harmless and defend (collectively “indemnify” and “indemnification”) Cloudnine and its directors, officers, employees, agents, stock holders, subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Indemnified Parties) from and against all claims demands, actions, suits, damages, liabilities, losses, settlements, judgments, costs and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees and costs), whether or not involving a third party claim, which arises out of or relate to (1) any breach of any representation or warranty of Client contained in these Terms and Conditions, and (2) any breach or violation of any covenant or other obligation or duty of Client under these Terms and Conditions or under applicable law, in each case whether or not caused by the negligence of Cloudnine or any other Indemnified Party and whether or not the relevant claim has merit.
  10. Severability– If any part or parts of these Terms and Conditions, or corresponding Service Order or SOW executed by Client or any future modifications are held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining parts of these Terms and Conditions, or corresponding Service Order or SOW executed by Client or modifications will continue to be valid and enforceable.
  11. Waiver– The waiver by either party of a breach or default in any of the provisions of Terms and Conditions, or corresponding Service Order or SOW executed by Client or any future modifications shall not be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same or other provisions; nor shall any delay or omission on the part of either party to exercise or avail itself of any right, power or privilege that is has or may have hereunder operate as a waiver of any breach or default by the other party.
  12. Integration– These Terms and Conditions and the corresponding Statement of Work affirmatively accepted by Client (which are incorporated by reference) set forth the entire agreement relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, discussions and understandings between them, whether oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.
  13. Governing Law– These Terms and Conditions or SOW executed by Client shall be construed under the laws of the State of California regardless of conflict of law provisions.

Neither party will bring a legal action arising out of or related to these Terms and Conditions and/or corresponding SOW executed by Client, or the services contemplated therein, more than two years after the cause of action arose. Client and Cloudnine further agree that as a condition precedent to instituting any legal action, the parties must participate in a non-binding mediation in San Diego, California before a neutral from JAMS, with the parties equally splitting the costs of that mediation. If the parties cannot agree on a JAMS neutral, the neutral shall be selected by JAMS at its sole discretion. The mediation process shall be initiated by the aggrieved party submitting the case for mediation to JAMS directly, after providing the other party with notice of its intent to institute mediation.
  14. Prevailing Party– In the event of any litigation arising out of or related to these Terms and Conditions and/or corresponding SOW affirmatively accepted by Client, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party all costs and expenses associated with such proceedings, including reasonable attorney’s fees. For purposes of this provision, if a matter is filed in any venue other than the state or federal courts in San Diego County, California and the matter is dismissed for improper venue, the party that did not file the action shall be deemed the prevailing party in that action.

    2. If a third party is to conduct the audit, the third party must be mutually agreed to by Customer and Cloudnine (except if such Third Party is a competent Supervisory Authority).

Cloudnine will work cooperatively with Customer to agree on a final audit plan.
    4. If the requested audit scope is addressed in a SSAE 16/ISAE 3402 Type 2, ISO, NIST, PCI DSS, HIPAA or similar audit report issued by a qualified third-party auditor within the prior twelve months and Cloudnine provides such report to Customer confirming there are no known material changes in the controls audited, Customer agrees to accept the findings presented in the third-party audit report in lieu of requesting an audit of the same controls covered by the report.
    5. The audit must be conducted during regular business hours at the applicable facility, subject to the agreed final audit plan and Cloudnine’s health and safety or other relevant policies and may not unreasonably interfere with Cloudnine business activities.
    6. Customer will provide Cloudnine any audit reports generated in connection with any audit under this Section 10, unless prohibited by Applicable Data Protection Law or otherwise instructed by a Supervisory Authority. Customer may use the audit reports only for the purposes of meeting Customer’s regulatory audit requirements and/or confirming compliance with the requirements of this Data Processing Addendum. The audit reports shall be and shall remain the Confidential Information of the parties.
    7. All audits are at Customer’s expense. The parties will negotiate in good faith with respect to any charges or fees that may be incurred by Cloudnine to provide assistance with an audit that requires the use of resources different from or in addition to any duties or obligations Cloudnine is required to perform pursuant to the Cloudnine Realtime Terms & Conditions.
  10. Incident Management and Personal Data Breach Notification

Cloudnine’s agreements with Third Party Sub-processors contain similar Incident reporting obligations.
    2. In order to address an Incident, Cloudnine defines escalation paths and response teams involving internal functions such as Information Security and Legal. The goal of Cloudnine’s Incident response will be to restore the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of any applicable cloud environment and the Personal Data that may be contained therein, and to establish root cause(s) and remediation steps. Depending on the nature and scope of the Incident, Cloudnine may also involve and work with Customer and outside law enforcement to respond to the Incident.
    3. To the extent Cloudnine becomes aware and determines that an Incident qualifies as a breach of security leading to the misappropriation or accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, Personal Data transmitted, stored or otherwise Processed on Cloudnine systems or the applicable cloud environment that compromises the security, confidentiality or integrity of such Personal Data (“Personal Data Breach”), Cloudnine will inform Customer of such Personal Data Breach without undue delay but at the latest within 72 hours.
    4. Cloudnine will take reasonable measures designed to identify the root cause(s) of the Personal Data Breach, mitigate any possible adverse effects and prevent a recurrence. As information regarding the Personal Data Breach is collected or otherwise reasonably becomes available to Cloudnine and to the extent permitted by law, Cloudnine will provide Customer with (i) a description of the nature and reasonably anticipated consequences of the Personal Data Breach; (ii) the measures taken to mitigate any possible adverse effects and prevent a recurrence; (iii) where possible, the categories of Personal Data and Data Subjects including an approximate number of Personal Data records and Data Subjects that were the subject of the Personal Data Breach; and (iv) other information concerning the Personal Data Breach reasonably known or available to Cloudnine that Customer may be required to disclose to a Supervisory Authority or affected Data Subject(s).
    5. Unless otherwise required under Applicable Data Protection Law, the parties agree to coordinate in good faith on developing the content of any related public statements or any required notices for the affected Data Subjects and/or notices to the relevant Supervisory Authorities.
  11. Return and Deletion of Personal Data
    Following termination of Cloudnine’s obligations to provide the Services, Cloudnine will return or otherwise make available for retrieval Customer’s Personal Data, unless otherwise expressly stated in the Cloudnine Realtime Terms & Conditions.

    1.  Upon termination of Cloudnine’s duty to provide the Service or upon expiry of the retrieval period following termination of the Term (if available), Cloudnine will promptly delete all copies of Personal Data from Cloudnine’s systems by rendering such Personal Data unrecoverable, except as may be required by law.
  1. Legally Required Disclosure Requests
    1. If Cloudnine receives any subpoena, judicial, administrative or arbitral order of an executive or administrative agency, regulatory agency, or other governmental authority which relates to the Processing of Personal Data (“Disclosure Request”), it will promptly pass on such Disclosure Request to Customer without responding to it, unless otherwise required by applicable law (including to provide an acknowledgement of receipt to the authority that made the Disclosure Request).
    2. At Customer’s request, Cloudnine will provide Customer with reasonable information in its possession that may be responsive to the Disclosure Request and any assistance reasonably required for Customer to respond to the Disclosure Request in a timely manner.
