3. No Competitive Activity. Customer shall not access the Service, the Horizon Platform, or the Software if Customer is or becomes a competitor of CSI. In addition, Customer may not access the Service, the Horizon Platform, or the Software for competitive purposes, including monitoring service availability, performance, or functionality, or for any other benchmarking or competitive purpose.
4. Interruption of Service. CSI and its Related Parties shall not be liable for any delay, outage, interruption, or failure of the Service, the Horizon Platform, or the Software, including, without limitation, where the delay, outage, interruption, or failure results from (a) scheduled maintenance; (b) acts or omissions of Customer or any User; (c) failure in Customer’s or third-party (not under CSI’s control) or Users’ equipment or telecommunication lines connecting Customer and its Users to the Service, the Horizon Platform, or the Software; or (d) any Force Majeure event.
5. Customer Support. CSI provides basic information, documentation, and reasonable telephone or email support to trained Users of the Service. Customer is responsible for obtaining any additional support regarding its use of the Service, the Horizon Platform, and/or the Software, which may include various paid support options.
6. Internet Access. The Service requires an internet connection and Customer shall be solely responsible for obtaining an internet connection for the purpose of accessing the Service. Customer and its Users voluntarily engage in the activity of internet use and bear the risks associated with that activity. Data throughput and upload and download speeds are not guaranteed. Throughput and upload and download speeds can vary significantly based on many factors, including the client computer device and system resources, as well as internet connection speed bandwidth and the quality of the connection. CSI exercises no control over and expressly disclaims any obligation to monitor Customer and its Users with respect to their use of the internet.
7. Third-Party Software. The Software may be bundled with services or software programs that are owned by third-parties and distributed or otherwise made available by CSI under license from the third-party owner. These third-party services and software programs may be governed by their own license terms and, in such case, those terms will prevail over this Agreement as to Customer’s use of the third-party services and software programs. Other third-party services and software programs may be sublicensed to Customer under the terms of this Agreement. In all cases, CSI has no warranty or maintenance obligations for any third-party software products. Changes to the Software package that CSI may make from time to time or the unavailability of sublicensing for such third-party software programs may make it necessary for Customer to acquire, at Customer’s own expense, separate versions of the third-party software programs, if Customer chooses to continue to use such third-party software or, if such third-party software programs are no longer available, Customer may be required to stop using such third-party software programs. In the event CSI is no longer able to sublicense a third-party software program to Customer, CSI may terminate the sublicenses for such software upon reasonable notice to Customer.
8. Open-Source Licenses. Should the Software include any Open-Source Components, Customer’s use of the Open-Source Components shall be governed by, and subject to, the terms and conditions of the related open-source and public licenses. CSI will provide Customer with the license name, author information, license source, access information, and other relevant information for Open-Source Components as required under the license terms for each Open-Source Component.
9. Unauthorized Use. The Service, the Horizon Platform, and/or the Software may contain security features that prevent unauthorized or illegal use. Customer acknowledges and agrees that CSI may use these features and other lawful measures to verify Customer’s compliance and to enforce CSI’s rights under this Agreement.
10. No Other Rights. Except as expressly provided in this Section 2 of this Agreement, no right or license is granted by CSI to Customer under this Agreement under any patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, or any other intellectual property rights, whether express or implied.

1. Service Location. CSI reserves the right to provide the Service, the Horizon Platform, or the Software from any location and through use of subcontractors.
2. System Revisions. CSI may revise features and functions of the Service, the Horizon Platform, or the Software at any time by removing features or functions or by adding features or functions.
3. Security Breaches. Customer acknowledges that CSI does not control the transfer of data over telecommunications facilities, including the internet, and therefore, except as provided in this Agreement, CSI does not warrant secure operation of the Service, the Horizon Platform, or the Software or that it will be able to prevent third party disruptions of the Service, the Horizon Platform, or the Software. Except as provided in this Agreement, CSI and its Related Parties are not responsible for any security breaches affecting any equipment, servers, or accounts under Customer’s or its Users’ control unless solely caused by CSI or its Related Parties. If Customer’s or its Users’ equipment or servers are responsible for or involved in an attack on or unauthorized access into the Service, the Horizon Platform, or the Software or another CSI server or system, then upon learning of such attack or unauthorized access, Customer and/or its applicable User shall promptly notify CSI, and, in any event, CSI will have the right to respond accordingly, including, without limitation, the right to identify, isolate, and block the source of the attack.
4. Prohibited Data. Customer and its Users are prohibited from uploading, transmitting, and/or storing to the Service, the Horizon Platform, and the Software the following types of data and information: any information or data that would require or otherwise necessitate compliance with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS), credit card numbers, bank/financial account numbers, health information, social security numbers, driver's license numbers, or passport or visa numbers.
5. Data Storage. CSI and its Related Parties make no guarantees about retaining any data stored on the Service, the Horizon Platform, or the Software following expiration or termination of this Agreement. Customer and its Users will not have access to User Data stored on the Service, the Horizon Platform, or the Software during a suspension or following expiration or termination of this Agreement.
6. Data Security.

In the event of a breach, CSI shall promptly notify Customer and employ reasonable means to remediate such breach.
7. Response to Incidents. CSI evaluates and responds to incidents that create suspicions of unauthorized access to the Service, the Horizon Platform, or the Software or the handling of User Data. If CSI determines that Customer's or its Users’ data has been misappropriated, CSI will report such misappropriation to Customer or its Users as soon as practicable after making such determination, unless prohibited by law.
8. User Activity. In no event will CSI or its Related Parties have any liability to Customer or its Users for unauthorized access to, or alteration, theft, or destruction of information distributed or made available for distribution via the Service, the Horizon Platform, or the Software through Customer’s or its Users’ accident, fraud, or other improper means or devices by Customer or its Users.
