Raven Customer Terms and Conditions

Calender Logo
Last updated: October 14, 2024

These Raven Customer Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") apply to, and govern, the ordering document (such as an Order Form, Sales Order, Proposal, Quote or other online ordering document) to which they are attached, hyperlinked, or otherwise incorporated by reference (the "Order").

These Terms are hereby incorporated by reference into, and made a part of, such Order.  These Terms and the Order are collectively referred to as this "Agreement". The Agreement constitutes a binding agreement between Raven Cloud Inc. (or, if applicable, the other Raven entity specified in the Order) ("Company") and the customer entity specified in the Order ("Customer"). Company and Customer may be collectively referred to herein as the "Parties", and each individually as a "Party". An individual entering into this Agreement on behalf of the Customer, represents that he/she has the right, authority and capacity to act on behalf of the Customer and to bind the Customer to this Agreement.

If Customer is purchasing its Service subscription from a Company-authorized reseller, distributor, or similar channel partner of the Service (a "Reseller"), then for purposes of these Terms the "Order" shall be the ordering document executed between Reseller and Company (the "Company-Reseller Order"), and the provisions of Section 6 (Purchases via Resellers) shall apply. 

For the avoidance of doubt, these Terms shall not apply to Customer if Customer has both purchased its Service subscription from, and executed an end user license/subscription/services agreement with, a Reseller. In such cases, Customer is granted its subscription to the Service by and through the Reseller, and not directly by Company (and accordingly, Customer agrees that Company has no obligation or liability of any kind whatsoever in respect of Customer's purchase).

Customer shall ensure that all information submitted during the registration process is, and will thereafter remain, complete and accurate. As between Company and Customer, Customer shall be solely responsible and liable for maintaining the confidentiality and security of its Account credentials, as well as for all activities that occur under or in such Account. Customer shall immediately notify Company in writing of any unauthorized access to, or use of, an Account, or any other breach of security. Personal information received during the Account registration process will be processed by Company in accordance with Company's privacy policy on the Site. 

    As an alternative to the above Account registration process, Customer may be able to generate an Account, or otherwise access the Service, by integrating and logging in via a supported third party platform (a "Third Party Application"). As part of such integration, the Third Party Application may provide Company with access to certain information that Customer and its Users have provided to such Third Party Application.

Company enables such integration merely as a convenience, and the availability of such integration does not (and shall not be construed to) in any way imply, suggest, or constitute any sponsorship, endorsement, or approval by Company of such Third Party Application or third party, nor any affiliation between Company and such third party. Company shall have no obligation or liability of any kind whatsoever for a Third Party Application or for the third party's policies, practices, actions, or omissions.

  12. INDEMNIFICATION

    12.1

    Indemnification by Company.

     In the event that, during the term of this Agreement and the six (6) month period thereafter, a third party makes or institutes any claim, action, or proceeding against Customer alleging that Customer's authorized access and use of the Service in accordance with this Agreement infringes such third party's copyright or patent (an "Infringement Claim"), Company shall:

    (a)    At its own expense, defend Customer against the Infringement Claim; and
    (b)    Indemnify and hold harmless Customer for any amount finally awarded against or imposed upon Customer by the court (or otherwise agreed in settlement) under the Infringement Claim (provided, however, that any insurance recoveries and/or indemnity or contribution amounts received by the Customer prior to receipt of indemnification by Company, shall reduce the indemnifiable amount to be paid by Company by the amount of such recovery).

    Company will have no obligation or liability under this Section (Indemnification by Company) to the extent that the Infringement Claim is based on or results from: (i) a modification to the Service not made by Company; (ii) the combination of the Service with any third party product or service; (iii) any Customer instructions or specifications; (iv) any Customer breach under this Agreement; and/or (v) any failure by Customer to use the most current version of the Service made available by Company pursuant to this Agreement.

    Should the Service (in whole or in part) become, or in Company's opinion be likely to become, the subject of an Infringement Claim or an injunction prohibiting Customer's use of the Service, then Customer permits Company, at Company's option and expense, to either: (x) obtain for Customer the right to continue using the Service (or part thereof, as applicable); or (y) replace or modify the Service (or part thereof, as applicable) so that its use hereunder becomes non-infringing; provided, however, that if (x) and (y) are not, in Company's opinion, commercially feasible, Company may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Customer, and, following Customer's compliance with all post-termination obligations, Customer shall be entitled to receive a pro-rated refund of any prepaid Subscription-related Fees hereunder based remaining period of the Subscription Term.
    12.2

    Indemnification by Customer.

     If Company or its Affiliates (or their respective directors, officers, or employees) (collectively, "Company Indemnitees") incur or suffer any loss or liability whatsoever (including but not limited to a fine, penalty, damages award, legal costs and expenses such as attorney's fees, etc.) under or in connection with any demand, claim, suit, or proceeding made or brought (whether by an individual, organization, or governmental agency) against a Company Indemnitee (each, a "Misuse Claim"), and such Misuse Claim arises directly or indirectly from any breach by Customer under this Agreement and/or from Customer's use of the Service, Customer agrees to:

    (a)    At its own expense, defend Company Indemnitees against the Misuse Claim; and 
    (b)    Indemnify and hold harmless Company Indemnitees for such loss and liability, as well as for any amount finally awarded against or imposed upon Company Indemnitees by the court (or otherwise agreed in settlement) under the Misuse Claim.
    12.3

    Indemnity Procedure.

     As a condition to indemnification under this Section (Indemnification), the indemnified Party agrees: (A) to provide the indemnifying Party with prompt written notice of the Infringement Claim or Misuse Claim, as applicable (the "Claim"); (B) to cede to the indemnifying Party sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim (except that any settlement shall require the indemnified Party's prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); (C) to provide the indemnifying Party with all information and assistance reasonably requested by it; and (D) not to admit any liability under (or otherwise compromise the defense of) the Claim. The indemnified Party may participate in the defense of the Claim at its own cost and expense.

    13.5

    Effect of Termination; Survival.

     Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason: (a) the Subscription shall automatically terminate; (b) Customer shall cease all access and use of the Service, and shall uninstall and permanently delete all copies of the Agents (and Company shall be entitled to verify same, and, if necessary, remotely uninstall or deactivate such Agents) and certify in a signed writing that it has done so; and (c) Customer shall pay any outstanding Fees and other charges that accrued as of termination, which shall become immediately due and payable, and, if necessary Company shall issue a final invoice therefor. Customer acknowledges that following termination it may have no further access to any Customer Content within the Service, and that Company shall be entitled to delete any Customer Content. Sections‎‎8  (Ownership) through ‎14 (Miscellaneous) shall survive termination of this Agreement, as shall any right, obligation or provision that is expressly stated to so survive or that ought by its nature to survive. Termination shall not affect any rights and obligations accrued as of the effective date of termination.
  14. MISCELLANEOUS

    14.1

    Entire Agreement.

     This Agreement (and its annexes) represents the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes and replaces all prior and contemporaneous oral or written understandings and statements by the Parties with respect to such subject matter. In entering into this Agreement, neither Party is relying on any representation or statement not expressly specified in these Terms. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement supersedes the following, each of which shall be deemed rejected, void and of no effect: (i) any shrink-wrap, click-wrap, or similar terms and conditions that accompany, or are included within, the Service, even if use of the Service requires an affirmative “acceptance” thereof (except where Customer has purchased its Subscription from a Reseller, and Customer is accepting these Terms via the Service); and (ii) any terms or conditions (whether printed, hyperlinked, or otherwise) in any purchase order or other standardized business forms, which purport to supersede, modify, or supplement this Agreement. Customer shall include the Order reference/number in any purchase order issued to Company. The section and subsection headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reading only, and shall not be used or relief upon to interpret this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including digitally, electronically scanned and e-mailed PDF copies, and any similarly signed and electronically or digitally transmitted copies) each of which will be considered an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
    14.2

    Amendment.

     This Agreement may only be modified or supplemented by a written instrument referencing this Agreement, which is duly signed by each Party.
    14.3

    Precedence.

     To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between a provision in these Terms on the one hand, and a provision in the Order or a Professional Services SOW on the other hand, the former shall prevail (except to the extent expressly stated otherwise in the Order or Professional Services SOW, or to the extent related solely to the commercial or technical particulars of the Order or Professional Services SOW, in which case the latter shall prevail).
    14.4

    Feature Specific Terms.

     Features and functionalities may be accompanied by separate or additional terms and conditions (in each case, "Feature Specific Terms"). Except to the extent expressly stated otherwise within Feature Specific Terms, all Feature Specific Terms apply in addition to (and not instead of) this Agreement.

    Third Party Content.

     The Service may present, or otherwise allow Customer to view, access, link to, and/or interact with, Content from third parties and other sources that are not owned or controlled by Company (such Content, "Third Party Content"). The Service may also enable Customer to communicate with the related third parties. The display or communication to Customer of such Third Party Content does not (and shall not be construed to) in any way imply, suggest, or constitute any sponsorship, endorsement, or approval by Company of such Third Party Content or third party, nor any affiliation between Company and such third party. Company shall have no obligation or liability of any kind whatsoever for Third Party Content or for the third party's policies, practices, actions, or omissions. If Customer enables or uses Third Party Content with the Service, Company will allow the Third Party Content providers to access and use Customer Content as required for the interoperation of the Third Party Content and the Service. Any Third Party Content provider’s use of Customer Content is subject to the applicable agreement between Customer and the Third Party Content provider.
    14.6

    Third Party Software.

     The Service may include what is commonly referred to as 'open source' software. Under some of their respective license terms and conditions, Company may be required to provide Customer with notice of the license terms and attribution to the third party, in which case Company may provide Customer with such information (whether via the Service, via the Site, or otherwise). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, use of the open source software will be subject to the license terms and conditions applicable to such open source software, to the extent required by the applicable licensor (which terms and conditions shall not restrict the license rights granted to Customer hereunder), and to the extent any such license terms and conditions grant Customer rights that are inconsistent with the limited rights granted to Customer in this Agreement, then such rights in the applicable open source license shall take precedence over the rights and restrictions granted in this Agreement, but solely with respect to such open source software. Company will comply with any valid written request submitted by Customer to Company for exercising any rights Customer may have under such license terms and conditions.
    14.7

    Assignment.

     This Agreement may not be assigned by Customer, in whole or in part, without Company's prior express written consent. Company may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without restriction or obligation. Furthermore, any Company obligation hereunder may be performed (in whole or in part), and any Company right (including invoice and payment rights) or remedy may be exercised (in whole or in part), by an Affiliate of Company. Any prohibited assignment will be null and void. Subject to the provisions of this Section (Assignment), this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of each Party and its respective successors and assigns.
    14.8

    Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

     This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, USA without regard to any conflicts of laws rules or principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, as well as the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) (regardless of where or when adopted), shall not apply to this Agreement and are hereby disclaimed. Any claim, dispute or controversy between the Parties will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts located in New York County, New York, USA and each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and waives any jurisdictional, venue, or inconvenient forum objections to such courts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may seek equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL OF ANY ISSUE BY JURY. EXCEPT TO SEEK EQUITABLE RELIEF, PAYMENT OF FEES, OR TO OTHERWISE PROTECT OR ENFORCE A PARTY'S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS, NO ACTION, REGARDLESS OF FORM, UNDER THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY MORE THAN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DATE ON WHICH THE CORRESPONDING LIABILITY AROSE. Any claims or damages that Customer may have against Company shall only be enforceable against Company, and not any other entity or Company's officers, directors, representatives, employees, or agents.
    14.9

    Severability.

     If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, then: (a) the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect; and (b) the Parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace the provision with a provision that is legal, valid and enforceable and that most closely approximates the original legal intent and economic impact of such provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified in respect of such jurisdiction. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it as aforesaid, then such provision will be ineffective solely as to such jurisdiction, and will be substituted (in respect of such jurisdiction) with a valid, legal and enforceable provision that most closely approximates the original legal intent and economic impact of such provision.
    14.10

    Publicity.

     Company may use Customer’s name and logo on Company's website and in its promotional materials to state that Customer is a customer of the Service.

    14.11

    Waiver and Remedies.

     No failure or delay on the part of either Party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or remedy. Any waiver granted hereunder must be in writing, duly signed by the waiving Party, and will be valid only in the specific instance in which given. Except as may be expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, no right or remedy conferred upon or reserved by either Party under this Agreement is intended to be, or will be deemed, exclusive of any other right or remedy under this Agreement, at law, or in equity, but will be cumulative of such other rights and remedies.
    14.12

In addition to any further instructions specified in the DPA, this Agreement represents Customer’s instructions for processing of Customer Data. In the event Customer fails to deliver an executed version of the DPA to Company, then: (a) to the maximum extent permitted by law, Customer shall be solely and fully responsible and liable for any breach, violation, infringement, and/or processing of such Personal Data without a data processing agreement; (b) in the event of any demand, claim, or proceeding of any kind related to any such breach, violation, or infringement, and/or any demand, claim, or proceeding related to processing of such Personal Data without a data processing agreement, Customer shall defend, hold harmless and indemnify Company and its Affiliates (as well as their respective employees, officers, directors, subcontractors and agents) from and against any and all losses, penalties, fines, damages, liabilities, settlements, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred or suffered by such persons; and (c) any limitations on, or exclusions of, of Customer’s liability under this Agreement shall not apply in connection with the above subparagraphs (a) and (b).

     The relationship of the Parties is solely that of independent contractors, neither Party nor its employees are the servants, agents, or employees of the other, and no exclusivities arise out of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create a relationship of employer and employee, principal and agent, joint venture, franchise, fiduciary, partnership, association, or otherwise between the Parties. Except to the extent required by Company in connection with the provision of the Service and/or the performance of the Company's obligations hereunder, neither Party has any authority to enter into agreements of any kind on behalf of the other Party and neither Party will create or attempt to create any obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other Party.
    14.15

     Neither Party shall have any liability for any performance (excluding payment obligations) under this Agreement that is prevented, hindered, or delayed by reason of an event of Force Majeure (defined below). The Party so affected shall be excused from such performance to the extent that, and for so long as, performance is prevented, interrupted, or delayed by the Force Majeure. If and when performance is resumed, all dates specified under this Agreement shall be automatically adjusted to reflect the period of such prevention, interruption, or delay by reason of such Force Majeure.
