Effective Date: 5 December 2019

1. Your Account
In order to use a Cloud Service, you must first register for one or more Accounts for such Cloud Service. By creating the Account, you are responsible for maintaining the security of your Account (including, but not limited to, login credentials, security-keys and the correct configuration of access control lists), and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your Account, and any other actions taken in connection with your Account. You agree to immediately notify Elastic of any unauthorized use of your Account, or any other breaches of security of which you become aware. Elastic will have no liability for any acts or omissions on your part, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of such acts or omissions. You may not register multiple Accounts to simulate or act as a single Account or otherwise access a Cloud Service in a manner intended to avoid incurring fees. Your Account will be your main point of contact for the Cloud Service. Any notifications regarding a Cloud Service will be sent to the email address registered with your Account.
2. Subscription Levels and Trials
1. (a) These Terms apply to all Cloud Services when used on a month-to-month basis. The level of the Subscription (as defined below) that You purchase (the "Subscription Level") determines the features and functions You are entitled to use, and the specific Support Services that You are entitled to receive, if any, with respect to the Cloud Service. A description of the Subscription Levels and of the features and functions applicable to each Subscription Level is located at https://www.elastic.co/cloud/as-a-service/cloud_services/subscriptions.
2. (b) These Terms also apply to trials (each, a "Trial") of Cloud Services, except for the following different or additional terms: (i) the Term for a Trial is fourteen (14) days, which may be extended upon Elastic's written consent; (ii) the Term for a Trial shall commence on the date that Elastic provides You with access to the Cloud Service that is the subject of the Trial; (iii) the features and functions You are entitled to use and the quantity of Resources (as defined below) You are allowed to consume during the Trial are determined at Elastic's sole discretion and may be changed at any time; (iv) the applicable Cloud Service may be used during the Trial for non-production, evaluation purposes only, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Elastic; (v) the Trial is provided "AS IS" without warranty of any kind, and Elastic disclaims all warranties, indemnities, and all other liabilities for Trials; (vi) You are not entitled to any support and maintenance services for a Trial; and (vii) either party may terminate a Trial upon five (5) days' written notice to the other party.
3. Provision of Cloud Service and Support Services
1. (a) Cloud Service(s) Generally. During the Term of this Agreement and, subject to your compliance with these Terms, Elastic will provide to You, and You hereby granted the right to use the Cloud Service at the applicable Subscription Level. Elastic may from time to time modify the features and functions that are eligible for Your use with respect to the Subscription Level You purchase.
2. (b) Provision of Support Services. During the Term of this Agreement and, subject to your compliance with these Terms, Elastic will provide You with Support Services for the applicable Cloud Service at the applicable Subscription Level, as described at https://www.elastic.co/legal/support_policy/cloud_services (the applicable support services policy, the "Support Services Policy").
3. (c) Support Services are provided to You solely for Your internal use and are subject to limitations described in the Support Services Policy. In addition, You agree not to:
  1. (i) use the Support Services to supply any consulting, support or training services regarding any Cloud Service to any third party; or
  2. (ii) use Support Services for one Subscription to obtain support for another Subscription with a lower Subscription Level, or to obtain support for any use of Elastic software that is offered as a service by any third party.
  You agree that any knowing failure to comply with the terms of this Section 3(c) will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. In the event of any failure to comply this Section 3(c), Elastic may, without prejudice to any other remedies available hereunder, at law or in equity, suspend the provision of Support Services to You if You fail to cure such breach within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice thereof.
4. (d) This Agreement grants You a limited right to use the applicable Cloud Service as described herein and the limited right to receive the applicable Support Services as described herein for the Term ("Subscription"). Nothing in this Agreement shall be understood to transfer from Elastic to You any intellectual property rights, and all right, title and interest in and to any Cloud Service and the applicable Support Services will remain (as between the parties) solely with Elastic or its third-party suppliers. "Elastic" and Elastic Cloud logos, and all other trademarks, service marks, graphics and logos used in connection with any Cloud Service and the Support Services are trademarks or registered trademarks of Elastic or Elastic's third-party suppliers. Other trademarks, service marks, graphics and logos used in connection with any Cloud Service may be the trademarks of other third parties. Elastic grants to You no right or license to reproduce, or otherwise use any Elastic or third-party trademarks under this Agreement.
4. Fees and Payment
1. (a) With the exception of any free Trial, or where otherwise explicitly noted, You are required to pay a fee for the right to access and use a Cloud Service. You must pay for Your usage through one of the following methods of payment: (i) if You have purchased Your Subscription through a cloud service provider marketplace, billing of Your account with such cloud service provider ("Marketplace Billing"), (ii) payment of an applicable invoice You receive from Elastic for amounts owed, or (iii) payment using a valid credit card, which You must provide with a name and address to Elastic's payment processor. You are responsible for keeping Your payment details up to date. Your fees will be based on the resource metric ("Resources") by which the applicable Cloud Service is billed as identified on the applicable Cloud Service description, registration, or pricing page(s) that are presented to You prior to purchase, or otherwise at the then-current list price for such Resources. You agree to pay for the Resources You use on a monthly basis in arrears. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any and all payments You make pursuant to this Agreement are non-refundable, and all commitments to make any payments hereunder are non-cancellable. Elastic reserves the right to require up-front payment for some features or functions of a Cloud Service. Payments will be made without right of set-off or chargeback.
2. (b) All fees are exclusive of any applicable sales, use, value added and excise taxes levied upon the delivery or use of the taxable components, if any, of any Subscription You purchase under this Agreement (collectively, "Taxes"). Taxes do not include any taxes on the net income of Elastic or any of its affiliates. Unless You qualify for a jurisdictional value added/sales/use/excise or similar tax exemption and provide Elastic with all necessary documentation Elastic may require (e.g., a valid exemption certificate or Direct Pay Permit), and provided that Elastic separately states any such taxes in the applicable invoice, You will pay and be solely responsible for all Taxes. If You are required by any foreign governmental authority to deduct or withhold any portion of the amount invoiced for the delivery or use of a Cloud Service or the Support Services under this Agreement, then (i) if Your transaction is directly with Elastic, You shall increase the sum paid to Elastic by an amount necessary for the total payment to Elastic equal to the amount originally invoiced or billed, and (ii) if Your transaction is conducted through a cloud service provider marketplace, You agree to remit a receipt of taxes withheld to Elastic within ninety (90) days of the remittance.
3. (c) Late payments will bear interest at the rate of 1% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less). You are responsible for paying all reasonable expenses and attorneys' fees that Elastic incurs in connection with collecting unpaid amounts that are past due. Elastic reserves the right to terminate your right to access and use a Cloud Service for failure to timely pay amounts due. In order to dispute any amount billed to you for your use of a Cloud Service, you must do so within ten (10) days of being billed for such amounts, or you will be deemed to have waived your right to dispute such amounts.
4. (d) You acknowledge and agree that any credit card and related billing and payment information that you provide to Elastic may be shared by Elastic with companies who work on Elastic's behalf, such as payment processors and/or credit agencies, solely for the purposes of checking credit, effecting payment to Elastic and servicing your Account. Elastic shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of such information by such third parties.
5. (e) Elastic may change its fees and payment policies at any time, provided that such changes will apply upon the start of the next billing cycle. Changes to the fees or payment policies will be communicated via the applicable Cloud Service and/or through any of our established communication channels.
5. Confidential Information
1. (a) Both parties acknowledge that, in the course of performing this Agreement, they may obtain information relating to products (such as goods, services, and software) of the other party, or relating to the parties themselves, which is of a confidential and proprietary nature ("Confidential Information"). Confidential Information includes materials and all communications concerning Elastic's business, including but not limited to employee lists, product strategies, information security policies and procedures (and reports relating thereto), development activities, design and coding, and interfaces with a Cloud Service, and anything provided by Elastic in connection with the Support Services including, without limitation, computer programs, technical drawings, algorithms, know-how, formulas, processes, ideas, inventions (whether patentable or not), schematics and other technical plans and other information which by its nature can be reasonably expected to be proprietary and confidential, whether it is presented in oral, printed, written, graphic or photographic or other tangible form (including information received, stored or transmitted electronically) even though specific designation as Confidential Information has not been made. Confidential Information also includes any notes, summaries, analyses of the foregoing that are prepared by the receiving party.
2. (b) The parties shall at all times, both during the term of this Agreement and thereafter keep in trust and confidence all Confidential Information of the other party using commercially reasonable care (but in no event less than the same degree of care that the receiving party uses to protect its own Confidential Information) and shall not use such Confidential Information other than as necessary to carry out its duties under this Agreement, nor shall either party disclose any such Confidential Information to third parties other than to affiliates or as necessary to carry out its duties under this Agreement without the other party's prior written consent, provided that each party shall be allowed to disclose Confidential Information of the other party to the extent that such disclosure is approved in writing by such other party, or necessary to enforce its rights under this Agreement. Providers that host the Cloud Service in an applicable transaction may also receive, subject to a confidentiality obligation, information related to the terms of this Agreement or Customer's usage of the applicable Cloud Service.
3. (c) The obligations of confidentiality shall not apply to information which (i) has entered the public domain or is otherwise publicly available, except where such entry or availability is the result of a party's breach of this Agreement; (ii) prior to disclosure hereunder was already in the receiving party's possession without restriction as evidenced by appropriate documentation; (iii) subsequent to disclosure hereunder is obtained by the receiving party on a non-confidential basis from a third party who has the right to disclose such information; or (iv) was developed by the receiving party without any use of any of the Confidential Information as evidenced by appropriate documentation.
4. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each party may disclose the other party's Confidential Information in order to comply with applicable law and/or an order from a court or other governmental body of competent jurisdiction, and, in connection with compliance with such an order only, if such party: (i) unless prohibited by law, gives the other party prior written notice to such disclosure if the time between that order and such disclosure reasonably permits or, if time does not permit, gives the other party written notice of such disclosure promptly after complying with that order and (ii) fully cooperates with the other party, at the other party's cost and expense, in seeking a protective order, or confidential treatment, or taking other measures to oppose or limit such disclosure. Each party must not release any more of the other party's Confidential Information than is, in the opinion of its counsel, reasonably necessary to comply with an applicable order.
6. Your Content

(a) In connection with Your use of a Cloud Service, You and/or Your end users may enable the ingestion of information, content and data to the Cloud Service, or may retrieve such information, content and data (collectively, "Content") from, such Cloud Service.

3. (c) By submitting Content to Elastic, You hereby grant Elastic a sublicensable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive right to reproduce, modify, adapt and publish the Content solely for the purpose of enabling Elastic to provide You with the applicable Cloud Service and Support Services.

4. (d) You are solely responsible for deleting or retrieving Content from a Cloud Service prior to termination of the applicable Account for any reason.
