SCOPE OF USE; OTHER AGREEMENTS. (A) Customer’s access and use of the Service, its Output (as defined herein), and any related user documentation (“Documentation”) shall be limited to solely its own internal security purposes, and shall otherwise be subject to and in compliance with all the terms and conditions herein. Such access and use of the Service is also restricted by and subject to further conditions in any separate agreement regarding such access and use that is between Customer and either (i) Recorded Future (or its affiliates) or (ii) one of Recorded Future’s permitted resellers (each, an “Other Agreement”), including any subscription fee, subscription term, scope of use, or other limitations, restrictions or obligations applicable to Customer therein.

These restrictions may include a set number of Analyses daily, in the event the Order Form states limits on the number of Analyses, an Analysis shall be deemed to be a single environment execution for a single operating system, whereby a single sample can be executed in multiple environments simultaneously, which will each count as a single Analysis for licensing purpose.

As also noted in Section 2 below, access and use of the Service may require an active paid subscription pursuant to an Other Agreement, which may be an Order Form. Further, for those Customers using a free version of the Service (such as through DNSTrails.com), this license is strictly limited to Customer’s internal, non-commercial security purposes.

(B) Notwithstanding anything else herein, this Agreement does not provide any rights to Customer, including any right to access or use the Service, but for clarity does impose obligations on Customer.

2. SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION. (A) To the extent Customer materially breaches this Agreement or any Other Agreement, or Recorded Future believes in good faith that it has done so or that Customer’s continued access and use of the Service poses a threat to Recorded Future or any third party, Recorded Future may, with or without notice to Customer, suspend or terminate Customer’s access and use of the Service or this Agreement. Following any termination of this Agreement, Customer agrees that it shall continue to be bound by this Agreement. For clarity, Customer’s access and use of the Service may require an active subscription as set forth in an Order Form, including payment of relevant fees by or for Customer, and in the absence of such an active subscription in good standing, Recorded Future may in its discretion suspend or terminate any or all access or use of the Service.

(B) For paid subscriptions, the subscription term described in each Order Form will commence upon the Order Form Effective Date and continue as set forth therein (“Initial Term”) and will automatically renew for additional one (1) year terms (each, a “Renewal Term”) unless either party has given the other party written notice of non-renewal at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of an Initial Term or Renewal Term, or as otherwise terminated in accordance with this Section 2.

(C) Upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement, all rights granted to Customer hereunder shall terminate and Customer shall cease all use of the Service and Documentation. Further, to the extent that Customer has any copies or back-ups under its control, it shall delete and destroy all such copies and back-ups of the Service and associated software.

(D) To the extent that Customer is using any free Service, Customer agrees that Recorded Future, in its sole discretion and for any or no reason, may terminate this free Service at any time.

Customer may terminate Customer’s use of the free Service at any time by discontinuing use of the free Service.
