Orders. You may purchase license(s) to use the Service by sending an Order to Absolute, including the appropriate Absolute Affiliate in your region or country, or to an Absolute authorized reseller, but unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, Absolute may accept or reject any Order in its sole discretion and is not bound to license to you any Service. Each such Order is incorporated into and becomes a part of this Agreement once accepted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Order contains any additional terms and conditions, such terms and conditions will not apply to, become part of, or supersede this Agreement, regardless of any statement to the contrary contained therein. In the event you install the Client Software or use the Service on a number of Customer Devices in excess of the number of licenses set forth in an Order, the relevant additional license fees shall be chargeable on all such excessive license subscriptions for the entire preceding year, regardless of when such excessive license subscriptions were installed/activated on a Customer Device.
Term of Agreement. Unless earlier terminated as provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, this Agreement will be effective during the Service Term and will automatically expire immediately after the last day of the final remaining Service Term. When this Agreement terminates, each outstanding Service Term will expire automatically.
Termination for Convenience. Either party may terminate any outstanding Service Term at any time for convenience and with or without cause immediately upon electronic notification to the other party at the last email address provided by such party. However, if Absolute terminates a Service Term for convenience, Absolute will refund a pro-rated portion of the purchase price (if any) to you to account for the unused portion of the remaining Service Term. No such refund will be payable for evaluation licenses. Nothing in this Section gives you any right to a refund from Absolute except as stated herein; your rights to refunds for other terminations are specified elsewhere in this Agreement. If you are a Managed Services Provider, Absolute shall have no obligation to pay you for any amounts that you may be obligated to refund or otherwise pay to your customers as a result of any termination under this Agreement.
Events Causing Termination of Service Term. Except as expressly set out in this Agreement, each of the following events will cause the Service Term (but, pursuant to Section 11, not necessarily this Agreement) applicable to your Customer Device to terminate automatically without notice:

if your edition of the Service includes a Service Guarantee, the payment of a Service Guarantee to you or your designee (if applicable);
if you have a consumer edition of the Service with Device Theft Investigation and Recovery features, the Recovery of a number of Customer Devices covered by the Service that is equal to the number of years of the Service Term plus one (for example, a two year Service Term would be entitled to a maximum of three Recoveries); and
your material failure to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement in respect of such Customer Device or Service Term;

and in each such case Absolute will not be obligated to refund to you any portion of the purchase price paid by you (if any) for the Service Term, regardless of the length of the initial or remaining Service Term purchased. If all your outstanding Service Terms are terminated then this Agreement shall terminate.

Your Obligations on Termination. If a Service Term for your Customer Device has terminated, you will disable and remove the Agent and the iOS App from that Customer Device, and remove or obscure in a persistent manner any Device Identity Tag on that Customer Device. If a Service Term for your Customer Device has terminated, and the Customer Device is a Chromebook, you will disable the Google Management Console Chrome Sync Service in the Absolute Console. Furthermore, if this Agreement has been terminated for any reason, you will immediately:

cease using and, at Absolute’s option, immediately return to Absolute or destroy all copies of the Absolute Technology and all Content in your possession or under your control;
pay all outstanding obligations to Absolute or its authorized reseller, if any;
remove or obscure in a persistent manner any Device Identity Tag on the Customer Device; and
no longer be entitled to access the Service, the Monitoring Center and, if applicable, the Absolute Console, and you hereby agree to such access being disabled upon such termination.

Suspension or Termination for Failure to Pay. Your failure to make any payment to Absolute or its authorized reseller for the Services will constitute a material breach of this Agreement, and Absolute may suspend or terminate your access to the Services if you have not remedied such non-payment within fifteen (15) days of notice to you thereof. Furthermore, Absolute’s suspension or resumption of Services will not limit or prevent Absolute from pursuing all other remedies available to it.
Security Administrators. Certain features of certain editions of the Service require that you authorize one or more Security Administrator(s) to enable and launch such features and to be given administrator level login privileges to the Absolute Console. You must complete and send to Absolute the Security Authorization Form, available in the Absolute Console, to authorize, remove, modify, or rescind the rights of a Security Administrator, and in some cases must submit a support case regarding such de-activation Online through Global Support (and Absolute will verify its instructions, make such changes, and then notify you when this has been completed). The Security Authorization Form is available to you either by logging into your customer account Online or by having it mailed to you after you request it via telephone at the telephone numbers listed at https://www.absolute.com/support/corporate/contact. If you are a Managed Services Provider, you acknowledge and agree that: (a) only personnel of your organization, not of your customers, may be authorized as Security Administrators; (b) Absolute will only accept instructions relating to the use of security operations from your organization’s authorized Security Administrators, not from personnel of your customers; (c) it is your responsibility to ensure that instructions provided by your Security Administrators to Absolute have been duly authorized by your customers, if appropriate; and (d) your service agreement with your customers must require those customers to (i) acknowledge that determining the location of Customer Devices may by implication also determine the location of individual persons who use or possess those devices, and (ii) agree to use the geolocation feature of the Services only with the unambiguous consent of all users and in accordance with all applicable employment privacy and other laws.
Training Services. If training credits are included on your Order, Absolute will provide you with any Training Services that you purchase from Absolute, at a mutually acceptable time. All Training Services must be exchanged for an available seat in a Training Services class within one (1) year from the date of purchase of the training credits relating to such Training Services, or such credits will expire and no refund will be available to you for such credits or Training Services. Training Services are only available for Absolute’s Services. Absolute will use commercially reasonable efforts when scheduling classes of Training Services to provide sufficient opportunity for you to exchange training credits for Training Services.
Ownership and Intellectual Property Rights. Absolute, its Authorized Third Parties and their respective licensors have Intellectual Property Rights covering the Service and the Absolute Technology. You acknowledge (and if you are a Managed Services Provider, you must ensure that your customers acknowledge) that all right, title and interest (including all Intellectual Property Rights, enhancements, modifications and derivative works) in and to the Service and the Absolute Technology are the property of Absolute, its Authorized Third Parties or their respective licensors, and that the only rights you have with respect to the Service and the Absolute Technology is the right to use them in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Except for such right as set out herein, no right, title or interest (including any Intellectual Property Rights) in or to (a) the Service or the Absolute Technology, or (b) any other property or Intellectual Property Rights of Absolute, its Authorized Third Parties or their respective licensors, is transferred to you. Additionally, you confirm that any copies of the Absolute Technology you make will contain the same proprietary notices, which appear on and in the Absolute Technology, and you agree that you will not copy any printed or other tangible materials forming part of the Absolute Technology that is software except as permitted herein. For greater clarity, notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, Absolute, its Authorized Third Parties, and their respective licensors own and retain all title to, ownership of, and all Intellectual Property Rights in, the Service and the Absolute Technology.
Third Party Software and Third Party Databases. In the course of providing the Service, Absolute may include Third Party Software or provide information to, register your Customer Devices in, and compare your Customer Device information to that contained in Third Party Databases. The access to and use of Third Party Software and Databases is provided to you subject to this Agreement and any separate license agreements that accompany such programs or apply to such databases. Notwithstanding Section 21 or any other provision of this Agreement, access to and use of the Third Party Software and Databases is furnished to you by Absolute on an “as-is” and “as-available” basis and without any representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied. Absolute specifically disclaims any liability arising out of your installation or use of any Third Party Software or Databases.
Confidential Information. Each party agrees to protect the Confidential Information of the other party in the same manner that it protects the confidentiality of its own proprietary and confidential information of like kind but in no case with less than reasonable care. Each receiving party will limit access to the other party’s Confidential Information to those employees and consultants of the receiving party who have a need to know such information. Except as set out in this Agreement, no party grants to the other any right, title or interest (including any Intellectual Property Rights) in or to its Confidential Information. The obligations of confidentiality set out in this Section 20 will not apply in respect of uses or disclosures of Confidential Information where (a) the owner consents in writing, (b) disclosure is required to comply with any Applicable Laws or judicial order, or (c) a party can establish with documentary evidence that, other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement, the Confidential Information (i) is available in the public domain, (ii) was disclosed to it by a third party without violating confidentiality obligations, or (iii) was already known by it or was subsequently developed by it without any use of Confidential Information. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if the parties have executed a separate confidentiality agreement prior to the date of this Agreement, the provisions of such separate confidentiality agreement will govern to the extent of any necessary inconsistency or conflict with this Section.
Absolute Limited Warranty. Except with respect to the use by you of the Service or the Absolute Technology on an evaluation basis (in which case Absolute disclaims all representations and warranties whatsoever, whether express or implied), Absolute represents and warrants to you only that (a) Absolute owns or otherwise has the right (including all Intellectual Property Rights) to license the Service and the Absolute Technology to you under this Agreement; and (b) during the Service Term, the Absolute Technology will function substantially in accordance with the applicable Product Documentation.
Exclusions of Warranty. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 21, AND FURTHER EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY PROVIDED BY AN APPLICABLE SERVICE GUARANTEE IN THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE SERVICE AND THE ABSOLUTE TECHNOLOGY IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS-IS” AND “AS-AVAILABLE” BASIS, AND ABSOLUTE, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF, ITS AFFILIATES AND ITS AUTHORIZED THIRD PARTIES, DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICE AND THE ABSOLUTE TECHNOLOGY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, ABSOLUTE DOES NOT PROVIDE, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS, ANY WARRANTIES (A) WITH RESPECT TO ITS ABILITY TO RECOVER, TRACK, LOCK OR REMOTELY DELETE DATA FROM ANY CUSTOMER DEVICE, OR ITS ABILITY TO CORRECTLY DETECT, IDENTIFY, LOCATE OR REPORT ON ALL DESIRED DATA IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CUSTOMER DEVICE, (B) THAT DATA ACCESSED, OR THE ALGORITHMS USED IN THE SERVICE, WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE OR PROPERLY CATEGORIZED, OR (C) THAT THE ABSOLUTE TECHNOLOGY OR THE SERVICE WILL SATISFY YOUR REQUIREMENTS, OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION OR BE ERROR FREE. WHILE ABSOLUTE HAS MADE REASONABLE EFFORTS TO ENSURE THAT THE SERVICE AND THE ABSOLUTE TECHNOLOGY ALL WORK WITH CERTAIN OPERATING SYSTEMS AND APPLICATION SOFTWARE, ABSOLUTE CANNOT AND DOES NOT CHECK EVERY POSSIBLE COMBINATION OF EQUIPMENT OR SOFTWARE AVAILABLE OR THAT IS SUBSEQUENTLY INSTALLED OR USED BY YOU. YOU BEAR THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE ABSOLUTE TECHNOLOGY AND THE RELATED SERVICE, OTHER THAN AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THE SERVICE GUARANTEE AND IN THE WARRANTIES SET OUT IN SECTION 21. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE JURISDICTION IN WHICH YOU RESIDE OR TO WHICH ABSOLUTE DELIVERS THE SERVICE DOES NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY MAY LAST, THE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS SET OUT IN THIS SECTION 22 MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU IN SUCH A JURISDICTION AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICE ARE LIMITED TO THIRTY (30) DAYS FROM THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE APPLICABLE SERVICE TERM. THESE IMPLIED WARRANTIES GIVE YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY HAVE OTHER RIGHTS, WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. IF YOU ARE A MANAGED SERVICES PROVIDER, THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET OUT IN SECTION 21 ARE PROVIDED ONLY TO YOU; ABSOLUTE PROVIDES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER TO YOUR CUSTOMERS.
Exclusive Remedies. If Absolute is in material breach of any of the representations and warranties in Section 21, subject to any applicable Service Guarantee, your exclusive remedies, and Absolute’s sole obligations to you, will be as follows:

if there is a material breach of the warranty set forth in item (a) of Section 21, Absolute may, at its option and expense, (i) obtain a license permitting you to continue to use the Service or the Absolute Technology (as the case may be), (ii) replace or modify the Service or the Absolute Technology so that there is no breach, or (iii) if Absolute does not consider (i) or (ii) to be commercially feasible, terminate this Agreement with no further liability to you except for a pro-rated refund of the fees paid by you under this Agreement representing the remainder of the unused Service Term; and
if there is a material breach of the warranty set forth in item (b) of Section 21, and provided you notify Absolute of the specific non-conformance within the applicable Service Term, Absolute will, at its option and expense, (i) modify the Service or the Absolute Technology to conform to the Product Documentation, (ii) provide a reasonable workaround solution that will reasonably meet your requirements, or (iii) if Absolute does not consider either (i) or (ii) to be commercially feasible, Absolute may terminate this Agreement with no further liability to you except for a pro-rated refund of the fees paid by you under this Agreement representing the remainder of the unused Service Term.

Your Technical Environment. You acknowledge that in order to use certain features of the Service, you must independently provide the Technical Environment at your own cost and expense, including without limitation Absolute Technology-compatible operating systems for all editions of the Service and the minimum Technical Environment requirements pursuant to the applicable Product Documentation. Absolute does not have any obligation to support any elements of the Technical Environment. You acknowledge that use of the Absolute Technology may require certain licenses for Technical Environment software in order for the Absolute Technology to be functional.
Your Indemnifications of Absolute. You hereby agree to indemnify and save harmless the Absolute Entities from and against all Claims and Losses in any way incurred by any Absolute Entities:

in respect of any Proceedings to which the Absolute Entity is made a party in connection with or arising out of (i) your use of the Service or any action authorized by you or your designated Security Administrator that is carried out by you or the applicable Absolute Entity or (ii) as a result of your actions, misuse of the Absolute Technology, non-compliance with the terms herein or failure to operate the Absolute Technology in accordance with the Product Documentation or Security Authorization Form;
in respect of any Proceedings to which the Absolute Entity is made a party in connection with or arising out of your failure to remove the Absolute Technology from a Customer Device;

arising from or in connection with any unauthorized use of the Technical Environment or failure of your Technical Environment; and
in respect of any Proceedings to which the Absolute Entity is made a party in connection with or arising out of false or misleading information submitted by or on behalf of you in connection with the theft or loss of your Customer Device(s).

Absolute’s Indemnification of You. Subject to Sections 27 and 28, and provided that you are using the then-current release or the immediately prior release of the Service and the Absolute Technology available from Absolute in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Product Documentation, Absolute hereby agrees to indemnify and save the Customer Indemnified Parties harmless from and against all Claims and Losses in any way incurred by a Customer Indemnified Party in respect of any Proceedings to which the Customer Indemnified Party is made a party by reason of or in connection with or arising out of any allegation that your use of the Absolute Technology as permitted by this Agreement infringes any Intellectual Property Rights that are enforceable in Canada, the United States, or the jurisdiction to which Absolute directs your Service, provided that if such Intellectual Property Rights relate to a business methods patent, this indemnity shall only apply in respect of infringements of which Absolute is actually aware at the time of the infringement.
Absolute’s Rights on Indemnity. If legal action arises or if Absolute believes that the use of Absolute Technology is likely to be subject to legal action for which Absolute has an indemnity obligation under Section 26, Absolute may, at its option and expense, (i) obtain a license permitting you to continue to use the Service and the Absolute Technology, (ii) replace or modify the Absolute Technology so that it is no longer infringing, or (iii) if Absolute does not consider (i) or (ii) to be commercially feasible, terminate this Agreement with no further liability to you except for a pro-rated refund of the fees paid by you under this Agreement representing the remainder of the unused Service Term.
Limitations of Indemnity. Notwithstanding Section 26, Absolute will not be required to defend or indemnify any Customer Indemnified Party to the extent that, the Claims and Losses or legal action, as the case may be arose from (a) your combination of the Service or Absolute Technology with software, services or products not supplied by Absolute, (b) your use of the Absolute Technology contrary to the Product Documentation, (c) any repair or modification to the Absolute Technology carried out by you or any third party other than an Authorized Third Party, (d) any breach by you of any provision of this Agreement, or (e) any refusal by you to install and use a non-infringing version of the Service and the Absolute Technology offered by Absolute under Sections 23 or 27.
Notice of Legal Action. A party indemnified under the specific provisions of this Agreement (a) will give prompt written notice of any legal action to the indemnifying party, not more than thirty (30) days after its first knowledge of that legal action, whether actually initiated or threatened, (b) will give to the indemnifying party the sole control of the defence of any legal action, (c) will, at the indemnified party’s cost, give the indemnifying party any assistance that the indemnifying party may reasonably request to defend or settle any legal action, and (d) will not settle or compromise any legal action without the express prior written consent of the indemnifying party. Any indemnified party’s material failure to comply with this Section 29 will relieve the indemnifying party of its obligation to defend and indemnify the indemnified party.
Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability. NONE OF ABSOLUTE, ITS AFFILIATES OR THE AUTHORIZED THIRD PARTIES WILL BE LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL CLAIMS AND LOSSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF DATA OR COMPUTER TIME, LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION OR ANY OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS) OR ANY OTHER SIMILAR DAMAGES UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY WHATSOEVER (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER THEORY), EVEN IF ABSOLUTE HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF AND EVEN IF ABSOLUTE COULD HAVE REASONABLY FORESEEN THEM. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF SUCH DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN SUCH A CASE, ABSOLUTE’S LIABILITY TO YOU IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT OF SERVICE FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU ATTRIBUTABLE, ON A PRO-RATED BASIS, TO THE PRECEDING TWELVE (12) MONTHS OF THE APPLICABLE SERVICE TERM(S). THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF ABSOLUTE, ITS AFFILIATES AND ITS AUTHORIZED THIRD PARTIES FOR ANY AND ALL DIRECT CLAIMS AND LOSSES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT (EXCLUDING ABSOLUTE’S LIABILITY TO YOU UNDER SECTION 20) WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF THE SERVICE FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU ATTRIBUTABLE, ON A PRO-RATED BASIS, TO THE PRECEDING TWELVE (12) MONTHS OF THE APPLICABLE SERVICE TERM(S). WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, ABSOLUTE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE, WHETHER DIRECT OR INDIRECT, CAUSED BY YOUR LAUNCH OR USE OF A SERVICE FEATURE. BY AUTHORIZING A FEATURE OR OPERATION OF THE SERVICE, YOU ARE HEREBY RELEASING ABSOLUTE AND THE ABSOLUTE ENTITIES FROM ANY CLAIMS AND LOSSES ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OR LAUNCH OF SUCH FEATURE (INCLUDING ANY UNSUCCESSFUL CANCELLATION OF THE LAUNCH OF A FEATURE, OPERATION OR PROCESS). THE PARTIES CONFIRM THAT NO AMOUNT OF FEES PAID, IF ANY, ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO ANY EVALUATION PERIOD. REAL TIME LOCATION DATA AND OTHER DATA ACCESSED VIA THIS APPLICATION MAY BE INACCURATE OR INCOMPLETE. LICENSEE’S USE OF THIS APPLICATION IS AT ITS SOLE RISK. IF YOU ARE A MANAGED SERVICES PROVIDER, ABSOLUTE SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER TO YOUR CUSTOMERS, AND ABSOLUTE SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER TO YOU FOR CLAIMS OR LOSSES BROUGHT OR SUFFERED BY YOUR CUSTOMERS, IN RELATION TO THE PROVISION OF THE SERVICE OR THE ABSOLUTE TECHNOLOGY.
Severability.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF ABSOLUTE FOR ANY AND ALL SERVICE GUARANTEE PAYMENTS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT ON THE DATE ON WHICH ANY SERVICE GUARANTEE PAYMENT BECOMES PAYABLE WILL NOT EXCEED THE PRO RATA PORTION OF THE PURCHASE PRICE ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE THEN REMAINING PORTION OF THE SERVICE TERM (NET OF RETURNS, REBATES, TAXES (SALES, USE AND VALUE ADD), COMMISSIONS AND DISTRIBUTOR OR RESELLER FEES) LESS (A) AN ADMINISTRATION FEE EQUAL TO 15% OF THE PURCHASE PRICE, AND (B) THE CUMULATIVE AMOUNT PREVIOUSLY PAID TO YOU IN RESPECT OF ALL SERVICE GUARANTEE PAYMENTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
Successful Theft Recovery, Locking Operation or Data Delete Operation. If, within a Service Guarantee Period, a successful theft recovery, or the successful launch of a Locking Operation or Data Delete Operation (of any type) has taken place on the Customer Device in question, the applicable Service Guarantee will be deemed to have been fulfilled and you will not be eligible for a Service Guarantee Payment.
Continued Attempts. Even if the Service Guarantee Period has expired or a Service Guarantee Payment has been paid, for a maximum of one (1) year from such expiry, Absolute may (in its sole discretion) use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to monitor and attempt Recovery of, or facilitate a successful Data Delete Operation or Locking Operation on, the stolen Customer Device.
Claims for Service Guarantees. In order to qualify to receive any Service Guarantee Payment, in addition to meeting the conditions set forth in this Agreement that relate specifically to the type of Service Guarantee in question, you must also fully meet the following conditions:

the relevant Customer Device must have an active, paid-for Service Term (at the time of its loss or theft) in respect of an edition of the Service that you have purchased which includes a Service Guarantee;
the loss of the Customer Device must not have been a Restricted Loss;
you must be in full compliance with your obligations under this Agreement including, without limitation, your obligation to submit a fully-completed Investigation Report no later than fourteen (14) days after the Incident Date;
the Customer Device must have contacted the Monitoring Center within 90 days before the Incident Date;
if the Customer Device is an Android device, the Customer Device must be a device that is capable of supporting persistence for the edition of the Service purchased by you and persistence must have been enabled on the Customer Device at the time of the loss or theft. A list of devices that are capable of supporting persistence is available from Absolute or Online;
if the Customer Device is an Android device, you must not have obtained root access to the operating system or “rooted” the Customer Device prior to the time of the loss or theft;
if the Customer Device is a Chromebook, and if a version of Chrome OS becomes available that is capable of supporting Google’s Forced Re-Enrollment Feature for the edition of the Service purchased by you, within thirty (30) days of such version becoming available you must have upgraded the Customer Device to that version and enabled Google’s Forced Re-Enrollment Feature. If you fail to do so, the theft or loss of your Customer Device will be a Restricted Loss;
you must not have transferred the Service Term containing the Device Theft Investigation and Recovery feature to the Customer Device in question during the restricted periods set out in Section 9(e) above of Appendix “A”;
the Customer Device must have been stolen or lost (as determined reasonably by Absolute) from inside of the Service Guarantee Territory,
you must not have launched or executed a service or feature on your Customer Device (for example, a Data Delete Operation or a Locking Operation whether launched manually or automatically upon the expiration of a timer) that restricts or disables the ability of your Customer Device to contact the Monitoring Center;
if Intel AT is activated on the Customer Device, you must log into the Absolute Console and elect to de-enroll or de-activate Intel AT for that Customer Device on or before submitting an Investigation Report and the Customer Device must successfully de-enroll or de-activate Intel AT so that Intel AT cannot launch a Locking Operation automatically;
if you have a consumer edition of the Service, you must, no later than thirty (30) days after the applicable Service Guarantee Period has ended, duly complete and submit to Absolute via fax or email a Service Guarantee Submission form, together with (A) OPoP of the stolen Customer Device (which confirms date of purchase, price, make, model and serial number); and (B) any additional information or documentation as may be reasonably requested by Absolute; and
the Customer Device must not have been flagged by Absolute as Recovered at the end of the Service Guarantee Period.

Excluded Losses. The Service Guarantee is not an insurance product. Absolute may, in its sole discretion, review your eligibility to receive Service Guarantee Payments if Absolute determines that your losses of Customer Devices, or Absolute’s payment of Service Guarantee Payments, are excessive or demonstrate a pattern of gross negligence or wilful misconduct in ensuring the security of your Customer Devices or otherwise render the provision of the Service unprofitable. Upon making such determination, Absolute will notify you and all outstanding losses will be Restricted Losses, and any subsequent losses will be deemed to be Restricted Losses until Absolute is satisfied, in its sole discretion, that you have implemented policies, procedures and other measures to address such gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
Service Guarantee Payment. Always subject to the other provisions in this Agreement, then Absolute or an Authorized Third Party will pay to you the applicable “Service Guarantee Payment” to which you are entitled, if any, within thirty (30) days from the date you become entitled to a Service Guarantee Payment or if you have a consumer edition of the Service, within thirty (30) days from receipt of the duly completed Service Guarantee Submission form, submitted in accordance with the above terms.
Service Guarantee Amount. The amount payable by Absolute or an Authorized Third Party as a Service Guarantee Payment will be based on the Incident Report Date in relation to the Service Term and subject to the other terms of this Agreement, will equal a percentage of the OPoP of the Customer Device up to a maximum amount, as follows:

OPoP Determination.

If you have a consumer edition of the Service and your Customer Device, the actual OPoP (as set out in your original proof of purchase receipt) will be used to calculate your Service Guarantee Payment. However, if you purchased a smartphone or tablet under a fixed term pricing or financing plan and the actual OPoP is not set out on your receipt or is less than US$220 or CAD$220 or AUD$220 or GBP£176 and, then your OPoP will be deemed to be US$220 or CAD$220 or AUD$220 or GBP£176.
If you have a corporate edition of the Service and your Customer Device is not an iPad, iPad mini or Chromebook, the following OPoP values will be deemed: for non-Android desktop computers, Macintosh computers and laptops, US$1,000 or CAD$1,000 or AUD$1,000 or GBP£800; for tablets and netbooks, US$450 or CAD$450 or AUD$450 or GBP£360; and for smartphones and mini-tablet devices, US$220 or CAD$220 or AUD$220 or GBP£176, unless in each case you provide us with an OPoP receipt within 30 days of the end of the applicable Service Guarantee Period, in which case the actual OPoP will be used for purposes of the calculation of the Service Guarantee Payment in accordance with Section 10 above. If you have a corporate edition of the Service and your Customer Device is an iPad or iPad mini, your OPoP will be deemed to be US$220 or CAD$220 or AUD$220 or GBP£176 for iPad mini devices; and, US$450 or CAD$450 or AUD$450 or GBP£360 for iPad® devices other than iPad mini® devices, unless in each case you provide us with an OPoP receipt within 30 days of the end of the applicable Service Guarantee Period, in which case the actual OPoP will be used for purposes of the calculation of the Service Guarantee Payment in accordance with Section 10 above. If you have a corporate edition of the Service and your Customer Device is a Chromebook, your OPoP will be deemed to be US$250 or CAD$250 or AUD$250 or GBP£200, unless you provide us with an OPoP receipt within 30 days of the end of the applicable Service Guarantee Period, in which case the actual OPoP will be used for purposes of the calculation of the Service Guarantee Payment in accordance with Section 10 above.

Currency. The dollar amounts listed in the table above are paid out in United States Dollars if your region or country of residence is the United States, in Canadian Dollars if your region or country of residence is Canada, in Australian Dollars if your region or country of residence is Australia, and in British Sterling Pounds if your residence is in Britain. Absolute may in its sole discretion pay an equivalent amount in the currency of its choosing with respect to countries not listed in this paragraph.
Prepaid Service Guarantee Balance. If Absolute has paid a Service Guarantee Payment in respect of a Customer Device that is later recovered, or has a successful launch of a Locking Operation or Data Delete Operation (of any type) on the Customer Device in question, within 120 days for iPads, iPad minis or Chromebooks or within 60 days after the Service Guarantee Period for all other Customer Devices, Absolute may treat the amount of such Service Guarantee Payment as a prepaid Service Guarantee and deduct 100% of the amount of any prepaid Service Guarantee balance from any future Service Guarantee Payment payable by Absolute to you (whether or not, for greater certainty, for that particular Customer Device). You may find out your current prepaid Service Guarantee balance in the Absolute Console or Global Support.

In addition to the Service, Absolute may agree to provide you Professional Services, as fixed packages of Professional Services available for purchase via an authorized Absolute reseller. The following terms and conditions will apply to any Professional Services pursuant to a fully executed Statement of Work, except as otherwise agreed by the parties in writing:

Fees. You will pay to Absolute any related Professional Services fees within 30 days after the date of Absolute’s invoice, unless otherwise specified in the Statement of Work. Any other payment terms in the Statement of Work will also apply.
Expenses. You will reimburse Absolute for reasonable expenses incurred in performing the Professional Services, including travel and accommodation costs, long distance telecommunications costs, courier fees, reproduction costs, and other reasonable out-of-pocket costs. At your request, Absolute will give you copies of receipts or other customary expense documentation for expenses incurred.
Overdue Payments. Any overdue payment relating to Professional Services will bear interest at a rate of one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) per month, or nineteen and fifty-six one hundredths (19.56%) per annum, on the portion thereof that is overdue. If such interest rate is prohibited by Applicable Laws, the overdue payment shall bear interest at the highest interest rate permitted by Applicable Laws.
Taxes. Professional Services fees do not include any taxes, and you agree to pay any sales, use, value added or other taxes or import duties (other than Absolute’s corporate income taxes) based on or due as a result of any amounts paid to us under this Agreement. All fees will be paid in the currency of the country or region in which the Professional Services are being performed unless otherwise specified in a Statement of Work.
Start-Up Costs and Ramp-Down Costs. Unless otherwise set forth in a Statement of Work, if you stop or postpone the projects set forth in a Statement of Work you will pay for all Professional Services rendered up to the stop or postponement date and will pay for any start up costs associated with re-activating resources to complete the subject Statement of Work and any ramp-down costs associated with removing resources from the subject Statement of Work.
Tools and Place of Work. You will provide all supplies, facilities, materials and other things which are required to perform the Professional Services, except for those things which Absolute is required to supply as set out in the Statement of Work. You will also provide us with any access to your premises, facilities and systems which we require to perform the Professional Services.
Changes. No changes will be made to the Professional Services, the Deliverables or the Statement of Work except by a written amendment signed by you and Absolute. Any changes to the Professional Services, the Deliverables or the Statement of Work may delay completion of the Professional Services and/or increase the related fees.
Acceptance. Unless otherwise specified in a Statement of Work,

following receipt of each Deliverable, you will have ten (10) days (the “Acceptance Period”) to perform acceptance testing of that Deliverable in accordance with the standards and procedures set out in the Statement of Work,
if the Deliverable does not pass the acceptance test, you must give Absolute written notice rejecting the Deliverable within the Acceptance Period,
if you do not give Absolute written notice rejecting any Deliverable by the end of the Acceptance Period, or if you deliver written notice accepting the Deliverable, such Deliverable will be deemed accepted on that date,
if you give Absolute written notice rejecting any Deliverable within the Acceptance Period, then within 30 days after receipt of your notice, Absolute will make any reasonable corrections or changes and resubmit the Deliverable to you for further acceptance testing and you will cooperate with Absolute to isolate, identify and resolve any problems in the Deliverables,
upon your receipt of the corrected Deliverable, the procedure outlined in this Section until the Deliverable is accepted, subject to the remaining provisions of this Section,
if Absolute reasonably determines that the inability of any Deliverable to pass acceptance testing is due to System Problems and not to any material defect in that Deliverable, Absolute and you will jointly attempt to identify the source of the System Problems and possible workarounds or solutions and, in addition to the fees and expenses for the Professional Services, you will pay Absolute for any extra work related to the System Problems at its then-current hourly rates plus disbursements, taxes and all related costs and expenses, and
notwithstanding the foregoing, Deliverables in the nature of training services are deemed accepted upon delivery.

Intellectual Property. Unless otherwise set out in a Statement of Work,

Professional Services provided by Absolute to you under this Agreement are not performed on a “work for hire” basis and therefore any resulting work product (including Deliverables) will be considered Absolute Technology in which your only interest is a license to use the Deliverables in conjunction with the Service during an applicable Service Term,
for greater certainty, Absolute owns and retains all title to, ownership of, and all right, title and interest (including Intellectual Property Rights) in or to any Deliverable on the same basis as it does with respect to the Service and the Absolute Technology as described in Section 18.
If it is at any time determined that you own any right, title or interest (including any Intellectual Property Rights) in or to any Deliverable (other than the right to use it under the license granted by this Agreement), you will hold that right, title or interest in trust for Absolute and will, at our cost, transfer it to us at our request, and you will also waive any non-transferable Intellectual Property Rights such as moral rights.

Relationship. In providing any Professional Services and Deliverables, Absolute is acting as an independent contractor and not as your agent, partner, or joint venturer for any purpose; neither you nor we will have any right, power, or authority to act or to create any obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other.
Non-Hire. You acknowledge that, in performing Professional Services, Absolute would be providing you with access to its Professional Services staff for a period of time, and that every member of such staff is a valuable resource to Absolute. Accordingly, you agree not to employ or solicit employment of any person who is Absolute’s employee or an employee of any of its Authorized Third Parties without our prior written consent, unless the person in question has ceased to be employed by Absolute or its Authorized Third Party for a period of 90 days.
Professional Services Disclaimer. ALTHOUGH ABSOLUTE’S PROFESSIONAL SERVICES MAY INCLUDE INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION OF ITS CLIENT SOFTWARE ON YOUR CUSTOMER DEVICES, YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE SOLELY AND EXCLUSIVELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MAINTENANCE, CONTROL, OPERATION AND SECURITY OF YOUR NETWORK SYSTEMS, INCLUDING THE RESPONSIBILITY OF MONITORING AND MAINTAINING THE CLIENT SOFTWARE ON YOUR CUSTOMER DEVICES TO ENSURE THAT IT AND THEY CONTINUE TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. YOU ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE INTERNET IS NOT IN ITSELF A SECURE MEDIUM, MAY BE INHERENTLY UNRELIABLE AND SUBJECT TO INTERRUPTION OR DISRUPTION AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO INADVERTENT OR DELIBERATE BREACHES OF YOUR SECURITY.

Upon Customer’s written request (not to exceed once per calendar year), and subject to obligations of confidentiality, Absolute will make available to Customer a summary of its most recent relevant audit report, certifications or other documentation generally made available to Absolute’s customers, as reasonably required by Customer to verify Absolute’s compliance with this DPA.
4. Personnel. Absolute will ensure that its personnel engaged in the processing of Personal Data are informed of the confidential nature of the Personal Data, have received appropriate training on their responsibilities, and are subject to an obligation of confidentiality that survives the termination of their engagement with Absolute. Absolute will ensure that access to Personal Data is limited to those personnel performing services in accordance with the Service Agreement.
5. Personal Data Breaches. Upon becoming aware of a Personal Data Breach, Absolute will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to notify Customer without undue delay, and will provide such timely information as Customer may reasonably require to enable Customer to fulfil any data reporting obligations under the EU Data Protection Law. Absolute will take all commercially reasonable steps to promptly identify and remediate the cause of such Personal Data Breach.
Assistance.
1. Data Subject Requests. Absolute will provide commercially reasonable assistance, at Customer’s cost, to enable Customer to respond to any Data Subject Request. In the event a Data Subject Request is made directly to Absolute, Absolute will promptly redirect the request to Customer. For greater certainty, Customer is responsible for responding to Data Subject Requests. Absolute will not respond to such communication directly without Customer’s prior authorization, unless legally required to do so. If Absolute is required to respond to such a request, Absolute will, to the extent legally permitted, promptly notify Customer.
2. Requests from Authorities. Absolute will provide commercially reasonable assistance, at Customer’s cost, to permit Customer to respond to any requests from or audits by applicable data protection authorities relating to the processing of Personal Data under the Service Agreement, to the extent Customer does not otherwise have access to the relevant information and to the extent such information is available to Absolute.
3. DPIAs and Prior Consultations. Absolute will, upon reasonable notice and at Customer’s cost, provide reasonably requested information regarding the Services to enable Customer to carry out DPIAs and/or prior consultations with data protection authorities, to the extent Customer does not otherwise have access to the relevant information and to the extent such information is available to Absolute.
Data Transfers. Absolute may transfer and process Personal Data from the EEA or Switzerland to Canada and, if applicable, other countries where Absolute maintains data processing operations, as necessary to provide the Services as set forth in the Service Agreement, subject to compliance with EU Data Protection Law. The parties acknowledge that Canada has been recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for Personal Data. If Absolute intends to transfer Personal Data from the EEA or Switzerland to a country not recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for Personal Data, such transfers will be subject to any Binding Corporate Rules that may be adopted by Absolute, or if no such Binding Corporate Rules have been adopted, then such transfers will not be permitted until such time as the parties enter into standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, or unless otherwise required or permitted under applicable laws including the EU Data Protection Law.
Sub-processors. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Absolute’s Affiliates may act as Sub-processors, and Absolute may engage third-party Sub-processors in connection with the provision of the Services. In the event that Absolute engages third-party Sub-processors, Absolute will enter into a written agreement with each Sub-processor containing data protection obligations no less protective than those set out in this DPA with respect to the protection of Personal Data, to the extent applicable to the nature of the Services provided by each Sub-processor. Absolute will be responsible for the acts and omissions of its Sub-processors that cause Absolute to breach any of Absolute’s obligations under this DPA.
Deletion of Personal Data. Following termination of the Service Agreement, Absolute will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to delete, obfuscate, de-anonymize or remove (or, if applicable, return) all Personal Data in Absolute’s possession or control except to the extent Absolute is required by applicable laws to retain some or all of the Personal Data, or pursuant to Absolute’s internal records retention policies. In such event, Absolute will extend the protections of this DPA to such Personal Data and limit any further processing of such Personal Data to only those limited purposes that require the retention, for so long as Absolute retains the Personal Data.
Relationship with Service Agreement. Any claims brought under this DPA will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Service Agreement, including but not limited to the exclusions and limitations of liability set out in the Service Agreement. In the event of a conflict between this DPA and the Service Agreement, the terms of this DPA will govern.

APPENDIX “F”
RANSOMWARE RESPONSE SERVICE

If you have purchased an edition of the Service that includes the Ransomware Response service or the Ransomware Response service add-on for an eligible edition of the Service, you hereby agree to the following terms and definitions which shall form part of the Agreement.

Definitions.
1. “Incident Manager” means a named individual from Customer’s security team who will act as Absolute’s primary contact.
2. “Incident Manager Contact Information” means, with respect to the Incident Manager, the first and last name, title, email address, phone number and mobile phone number.
3. “Infected Device” means a Customer Device that is infected with Ransomware.
4. “Quarantine” means executing an Absolute Reach technology script on an Infected Device for the purposes of enabling Windows Firewall and blocking inbound and outbound network communications except to the Service or such other 3rd party services as may be explicitly “whitelisted” (e.g., to enable a 3rd party Endpoint Protection (“EPP”) or Endpoint Management (“EMM”) Application to communicate with its associated services).
5. “Ransomware” means malicious 3rd party software that infects a Customer Device and renders it inoperable through means that may include but not be limited to encryption of data stored on the Customer Device for the purpose of extracting a payment (i.e. ransom) in exchange for restoration of such device’s operability.
6. “Ransomware Incident” mean the compromise of one (1) or more Infected Devices by a particular Ransomware instance.
7. “Ransomware Response Actions” means one or more instances of actions performed on a Customer Device for the purposes of: (i) identifying whether it is an Infected Device; (ii) executing one or more Absolute Reach technology scripts; (iii) performing a Locking Operation; (iv) by performing end user messaging via the Service; and/or (v) performing repair or reinstall operations for one or more applications (provided, however, that such applications and their applicable versions must be enabled for Application Persistence prior to the Ransomware Incident).
8. “Ransomware Response Period” means the thirty (30) day period commencing on the date of Customer’s written notice to Absolute of the occurrence of a Ransomware Incident for which it wishes Absolute to perform an instance of the Ransomware Response service.
9. “Ransomware Response Readiness Assessment” means the initial assessment of Customer’s readiness for a Ransomware Incident as performed by Absolute upon purchase of the Ransomware Response service. Such assessment may identify actions that Customer must perform prior to and as a condition of Absolute’s subsequent performance of an instance of the Ransomware Response service (e.g., including but not limited to deploying and/or updating its EPP and/or EMM Applications to specified versions, or enabling Application Persistence for such versions for all Customer Device’s. Customer agrees and acknowledges that failure to perform such actions in a timely fashion shall entitle Absolute, in its sole and absolute discretion, to reject performance of the Ransomware Response service.
10. “Recovery” means the restoration of an Infected Device to an operable state through removal of the Ransomware, repair and/or reinstall of the Customer’s designated EPP and EMM Application(s) as applicable, and removal of the Customer Device from Quarantine. For avoidance of doubt, successful Recovery: (i) may be based on re-imaging the Customer Device as means of Ransomware removal; and (ii) does not require that all of the Customer Device’s data be restored as a condition of Recovery; and (iii) Absolute shall not be responsible for providing or performing any data backup or restoration services or operations.
Ransomware Response Activation Requirements. In order to be eligible to activate the Ransomware Response service: (i) all of your active Absolute licenses must include the Ransomware Response service; (ii) you must have completed the Ransomware Response Readiness Assessment; and (iii) you shall not have exceeded two (2) Ransomware Incidents in the preceding 12-month period.
Ransomware Response Activation. Not more than twice per 12-month period during the Service Term (unless separately agreed to by Absolute under a Statement of Work, which will involve additional Professional Services fees), you may activate the Ransomware Response service by submitting a request in writing to customer support. Upon Absolute’s receipt of your request and Absolute’s written confirmation of your eligibility (each such confirmed request a “Ransomware Response Order”), and subject to the terms set forth herein (including your meeting the requirements in Section 4, below), Absolute will use commercially reasonable efforts for the Ransomware Response Period to identify, quarantine, and assist in the recovery of Infected Device(s) by performing the Ransomware Response service and you agree to fully cooperate with such efforts.
Customer Obligations Within twenty-four (24) hours of any Ransomware Response Order, you agree to provide Absolute with: (i) a designated Incident Manager and Incident Manager Contact Information; (ii) all available information on the Ransomware Incident (e.g., including but not limited to the name, location, and hashes of its associated files); (iii) all available information on Infected Devices (to the extent then-currently known), including but not limited to device serial numbers, or other device identifying information; and (iv) such reasonable administrative access as may be required by your Absolute Console instance for the purpose of assisting Customer in performing actions necessary to effect Recovery.
Ransomware Response Limitations. You acknowledge and agree that:
1. the Ransomware Response service may be limited or unavailable, and Absolute will have no obligations under this exhibit, with respect to an Infected Device in the following circumstances: (i) the Infected Device does not contact the Monitoring Center pre-incident or post-incident; (ii) a service or feature has been previously launched on your Infected Device (for example, a Data Delete Operation or a Locking Operation) that restricts or disables the ability of the Infected Device to contact the Monitoring Center; or (iii) the Infected Device does not have a valid license with the Ransomware Response service.
2. Recovery of every Infected Device cannot be guaranteed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no guarantee or warranty is provided with respect to the ability to recover an Infected Device
3. Absolute will not be responsible for any damage to an Infected Device that occurs during its performance of the Ransomware Response service, including without limitation, damage caused by 3rd party Ransomware to your systems or data.
