Customer Contractor Services are not required for use of the Offerings. Offerings may contain features, including API’s, designed to interface with or provide data to Customer Contractor Services.  CrowdStrike is not responsible or liable for any loss, costs or damages arising out of Customer Contractor’s actions or inactions in any manner, including but not limited to, for any disclosure, transfer, modification or deletion of Customer data.  Whether or not a Customer Contractor is designated by CrowdStrike as, or otherwise claims to be “certified,” “authorized,” or similarly labeled, CrowdStrike does not: (i) control, monitor, maintain or provide support for, Customer Contractor Services, (ii) disclaims all warranties of any kind, indemnities, obligations, and other liabilities in connection with the Customer Contractor Services, and  any Customer Contractor interface or integration with the Offerings, and (iii) cannot guarantee the continued availability of Customer Contractor Services and related features.  If Customer Contractor Services and related features are no longer available for any reason, CrowdStrike is not obligated to provide any refund, credit, or other compensation for, or related to, the Offerings.

7. Confidentiality.

7.1 Definitions. In connection with this Agreement, each party (“Recipient”) may receive Confidential Information of the other party (“Discloser”) or third parties to whom Discloser has a duty of confidentiality. “Confidential Information” means non-public information in any form that is in the Recipient’s possession regardless of the method of acquisition that the Discloser designates as confidential to Recipient or should be reasonably known by the Recipient to be Confidential Information due to the nature of the information disclosed and/or the circumstances surrounding the disclosure. Confidential Information shall not include information that is: (i) in or becomes part of the public domain (other than by disclosure by Recipient in violation of this Agreement); (ii) previously known to Recipient without an obligation of confidentiality and demonstrable by the Recipient; (iii) independently developed by Recipient without use of Discloser’s Confidential Information; or (iv) rightfully obtained by Recipient from third parties without an obligation of confidentiality.

Except as allowed in Section 7.3 (Exceptions), Recipient shall hold Discloser’s Confidential Information in strict confidence and shall not disclose any such Confidential Information to any third party, other than to its employees, and contractors, including without limitation, counsel, accountants, and financial advisors (collectively, “Representatives”), its Affiliates and their Representatives, subject to the other terms of this Agreement, and in each case who need to know such information and who are bound by restrictions regarding disclosure and use of such information comparable to and no less restrictive than those set forth herein. Recipient shall not use Discloser’s Confidential Information for any purpose other than as set forth in this Agreement. Recipient shall take the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature and importance (but in no event less than reasonable care) to protect the confidentiality and avoid the unauthorized use, disclosure, publication, or dissemination of the Discloser’s Confidential Information. Within 72 hours of Recipient becoming aware of the unauthorized use, disclosure, publication, or dissemination of the Discloser’s Confidential Information while in Recipient’s control, Recipient shall provide Discloser with notice thereof.

7.3 Exceptions. Recipient may disclose Discloser’s Confidential Information: (i) to the extent required by applicable law or regulation; (ii) pursuant to a subpoena or order of a court or regulatory, self-regulatory, or legislative body of competent jurisdiction; (iii) in connection with any regulatory report, audit, or inquiry; or (iv) where requested by a regulator with jurisdiction over Recipient. In the event of such a requirement or request, Recipient shall, to the extent legally permitted: (a) give Discloser prompt written notice of such requirement or request prior to such disclosure; and (b) at Discloser’s cost, a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the disclosure and request confidential treatment or a protective order pertaining thereto prior to Recipient making such disclosure. If the Recipient is legally required to disclose the Discloser’s Confidential Information as part of: (x) a legal proceeding to which the Discloser is a party but the Recipient is not; or (y) a government or regulatory investigation of the Discloser, the Discloser shall pay all of the Recipient’s reasonable and actual out of pocket legal fees and expenses (as evidenced by reasonably detailed invoices) and will reimburse the Recipient for its reasonable costs and fees of compiling and providing such Confidential Information, including, a reasonable hourly rate for time spent preparing for, and participating in, depositions and other testimony.

7.4 Destruction. Upon Discloser’s written request, Recipient shall use commercially reasonable efforts to destroy the Confidential Information and any copies or extracts thereof.  However, Recipient, its Affiliates and their Representatives may retain any Confidential Information that: (i) they are required to keep for compliance purposes under a document retention policy or as required by applicable law, professional standards, a court, or regulatory agency; or (ii) have been created electronically pursuant to automatic or ordinary course archiving, back-up, security, or disaster recovery systems or procedures; provided, however, that any such retained information shall remain subject to this Agreement. Upon Discloser’s request, Recipient will provide Discloser with written confirmation of destruction in compliance with this provision.

7.5 Equitable Relief. Each party acknowledges that a breach of this Section 7 (Confidentiality) shall cause the other party irreparable injury and damage. Therefore, each party agrees that those breaches may be stopped through injunctive proceedings in addition to any other rights and remedies which may be available to the injured party at law or in equity without the posting of a bond.

8. Warranties & Disclaimer.

8.1 No Warranty for Pre-Production Versions. Any pre-production feature or version of an Offering provided to Customer is experimental and provided “AS IS” without warranty of any kind and will not create any obligation for CrowdStrike to continue to develop, productize, support, repair, offer for sale, or in any other way continue to provide or develop any such feature or Offering.

8.5 No Guarantee. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES, UNDERSTANDS, AND AGREES THAT CROWDSTRIKE DOES NOT GUARANTEE OR WARRANT THAT PRODUCT WILL ENABLE CUSTOMER TO FIND, LOCATE, OR DISCOVER ALL OF CUSTOMER’S OR ITS AFFILIATES’ SYSTEM THREATS, VULNERABILITIES, MALWARE, AND MALICIOUS SOFTWARE, AND CUSTOMER AND ITS AFFILIATES WILL NOT HOLD CROWDSTRIKE RESPONSIBLE THEREFOR.

CrowdStrike is not obligated under any reseller's agreement with you unless an officer of CrowdStrike executes the agreement. This Agreement shall not be construed for or against any party to this Agreement because that party or that party’s legal representative drafted any of its provisions.

14.2 Assignment. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, except to an Affiliate in connection with a corporate reorganization or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of its business and/or assets. Any assignment in violation of this Section shall be void. Subject to the foregoing, all rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by and against the successors and permitted assigns.

14.3 Governing Law; Venue. Except as otherwise provided in Exhibit A (if applicable), this Agreement, and the rights and duties of the parties arising from this Agreement, shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflicts-of-law principles. The sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue for actions arising under this Agreement shall be state and federal courts in Santa Clara County, California, and the parties agree to service of process in accordance with the rules of such courts. The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act and the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods shall not apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party reserves the right to file a suit or action in any court of competent jurisdiction as such party deems necessary to protect its intellectual property rights and, in CrowdStrike’s case, to recoup any payments due.

14.4 Permission to List You as a Customer. Unless you direct otherwise by sending an email to us at legal@crowdstrike.com, which direction may be given at any time, you agree that CrowdStrike may display your company name and logo (in accordance with any trademark guidelines you provide) as a CrowdStrike customer in a manner that does not suggest your use or endorsement of any specific CrowdStrike product or service.

14.5 Independent Contractors; No Third Party Rights. The parties are independent contractors. This Agreement shall not establish any relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise, or agency between the parties. No provision in this Agreement is intended or shall create any rights with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement in any third party.

14.6 Waiver, Severability & Amendments. The failure of either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or any subsequent breach. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to affect the intent of the parties, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. This Agreement may only be amended, or any term or condition set forth herein waived, by written consent of both parties.

14.7 Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable for, nor shall either party be considered in breach of this Agreement due to, any failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement (other than its payment obligations) as a result of a cause beyond its control, including but not limited to, act of God or a public enemy, act of any military, civil or regulatory authority, change in any law or regulation, fire, flood, earthquake, storm or other like event, disruption or outage of communications (including an upstream server block and Internet or other networked environment disruption or outage), power or other utility, labor problem, or any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing, which could not have been prevented with reasonable care. The party experiencing a force majeure event, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice of such to the other party.

14.8 Notices. All legal notices will be given in writing to the addresses in the first introductory paragraph of this Agreement and will be effective: (i) when personally delivered, (ii) on the reported delivery date if sent by a recognized international or overnight courier, or (iii) five business days after being sent by registered or certified mail (or ten days for international mail).  For clarity, Orders, POs, confirmations, invoices, and other documents relating to order processing and payment are not legal notices and may be delivered electronically in accordance with each party’s standard ordering procedures.

Exhibit B
Additional or Different Terms That May Apply to Certain Customers

A. For Australian Consumers Only.

A.1. For Customers that are consumers under the Australian Consumer Law, the following provisions apply.

The benefits of the warranty in Section 8 Warranties & Disclaimer of this Agreement are in addition to any other rights and remedies in relation to the Offerings that Customer may be entitled to under Australian Consumer Law.  Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.  For major failures with the service, you are entitled: (i) to cancel your service contract with us; and (ii) to a refund for the unused portion, or to compensation for its reduced value.  You are also entitled to choose a refund or replacement for major failures with goods. If a failure with the goods or a service does not amount to a major failure, you are entitled to have the failure rectified in a reasonable time. If this is not done you are entitled to a refund for the goods and to cancel the contract for the service and obtain a refund of any unused portion. You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage from a failure in the goods or service.

The warranties in this Agreement are provided by CrowdStrike, Inc. at 150 Mathilda Place, Third Floor, Sunnyvale California, USA. To file a claim under this limited warranty, Customers must contact CrowdStrike at support@crowdstrike.com.  CrowdStrike shall be responsible for any costs Customer incurs in making a warranty claim under this Agreement.

A.2.  For Customers that are consumers under the Australian Consumer Law, Section 12 Limited Liability shall be replaced in its entirety with the following:

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXCEPT FOR LIABILITY FOR ANY AMOUNTS PAID OR PAYABLE TO THIRD PARTIES UNDER SECTION 9 (INDEMNIFICATION), CUSTOMER’S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS, AND/OR ANY INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION BY ONE PARTY OF THE OTHER PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF (UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STATUTE, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), INDEMNITIES (OTHER THAN EXPRESSLY STATED IN SECTION 9 (INDEMNIFICATION)), OR OTHERWISE) FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, OR SAVINGS, LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, LOST DATA, OR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR LOSSES OR SUCH DAMAGES OR LOSSES WERE REASONABLY FORESEEABLE; OR (B) AN AMOUNT THAT EXCEEDS THE TOTAL FEES PAID OR PAYABLE TO CROWDSTRIKE FOR THE RELEVANT OFFERING DURING THAT OFFERING’S SUBSCRIPTION/ORDER TERM.  THESE LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY REMEDY SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT.

SECTION A.2 DOES NOT SEEK TO LIMIT OR EXCLUDE THE LIABILITY OF CROWDSTRIKE OR ITS AFFILIATES IN THE EVENT OF DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY ITS NEGLIGENCE OR FOR FRAUD OR FOR ANY OTHER LIABILITY FOR WHICH IT IS NOT PERMITTED BY LAW TO EXCLUDE.  TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, THIS PROVISION MUST BE READ SUBJECT TO THE AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW.

B. For Customers Outside the United States and Australia. Some countries, states and provinces, including member states of the European Economic Area, do not allow certain exclusions or limitations of liability, therefore, the exclusions or limitation of liabilities and disclaimers of warranties in the Agreement may not fully apply to Customer if the laws directly applicable to CrowdStrike in the performance of this Agreement do not allow such terms.
