THAT ARE HOSTED BY OR ON BEHALF OF TREND MICRO
(these “Terms of Service”)
IMPORTANT: READ CAREFULLY. THE RIGHT TO ACCESS AND USE EACH OF TREND MICRO’S CLOUD SERVICES BY BUSINESS, GOVERNMENTAL, AND OTHER LEGAL ENTITIES ARE SUBJECT TO AND CONDITIONED ON ACCEPTANCE OF AND AGREEMENT TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE. CLOUD SERVICES ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR PERSONAL USE, HOME USE, AND/OR CONSUMER USE. IF COMPANY AND TREND MICRO HAVE ENTERED INTO A MANUAL/ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE-BEARING CORPORATE LICENSE AGREEMENT (OR OTHER SIMILAR DOCUMENT) WITH RESPECT TO THE ACCESS TO AND/OR USE OF ANY TREND MICRO CLOUD SERVICE, THEN SUCH AGREEMENT WILL GOVERN AND CONTROL THE ACCESS TO AND/OR USE OF SUCH CLOUD SERVICE AND THESE TERMS OF SERVICE WILL HAVE NO EFFECT WITH RESPECT THERETO. OTHERWISE, THESE TERMS OF SERVICE SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL COMPANY’S ACCESS TO AND/OR USE OF ANY CLOUD SERVICE ACQUIRED HEREUNDER. Any additional, conflicting, or different terms or conditions proposed by Company in any Company-issued document (such as an Order), are hereby rejected by Trend Micro and excluded herefrom.
Trial and Paid Use: Cloud Services are made available by Trend Micro from time-to-time through its Resellers or directly from Trend Micro, but Cloud Services are not available or sold for personal use, home use, and/or consumer use by any person.
Product Exclusions: These Terms of Service do NOT apply to: (a) any standalone application software whether or not acquired from a Reseller, direct from Trend Micro, or an Online Store Provider (as defined in Section 1.2 below) store; (b) any integrated application software that is embedded in or preloaded on a hardware-based appliance; or (c) any annual maintenance for such software licensed by Trend Micro, it being understood that the terms and conditions governing those different Trend Micro products are set forth in the Global Business Software and Appliance Agreement at trendmicro.com/eula.
Effective Date: 1 July 2019
COMPANY IS ORDERING OR HAS ORDERED A CLOUD SERVICE THROUGH COMPANY’S RESELLER OR DIRECTLY FROM TREND MICRO FOR ACCESS AND USE IN CONNECTION WITH COMPANY’S INTERNAL BUSINESS USE. BY COMPANY: (1) ORDERING A CLOUD SERVICE; (2) CAUSING TREND MICRO TO PROVISION A CLOUD SERVICE; AND/OR (3) ACCESSING OR USING A CLOUD SERVICE, COMPANY AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION CONSTITUTES:
a. COMPANY’S ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT IT HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO READ AND REVIEW THESE TERMS OF SERVICE;
b. COMPANY’S ACCEPTANCE AND AGREEMENT TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE FOR SUCH CLOUD SERVICE;
c. COMPANY’S ONGOING REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTY TO TREND MICRO THAT COMPANY MEETS (AND AT ALL TIMES WILL COMPLY WITH) ALL OF THE TERMS, CONDITIONS, AND REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS OF SERVICE; AND
d. COMPANY’S REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTY TO TREND MICRO THAT COMPANY’S REPRESENTATIVE ACTING ON ITS BEHALF IS AUTHORIZED TO AND DOES POSSESS THE AUTHORITY TO ACCEPT, AGREE, AND BIND COMPANY TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE.
COMPANY AGREES THAT WRITTEN APPROVAL IS NOT A PREREQUISITE TO THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE AND NO SOLICITATION OF ANY SUCH WRITTEN APPROVAL SHALL BE CONSTRUED AS AN INFERENCE TO THE CONTRARY.
IF COMPANY DOES NOT ACCEPT AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, COMPANY MAY NOT ORDER, REGISTER, DEPLOY, ACCESS, OR USE A CLOUD SERVICE AND COMPANY WILL IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY TREND MICRO AT [email protected] THAT COMPANY DOES NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE AND WILL NOT BE ACCESSING OR USING SUCH CLOUD SERVICE. AGREED DEFINITIONS USED IN THESE TERMS OF SERVICE ARE IN SECTION 1.2 BELOW.
1. Overview; Agreed Definitions.
1.1.1 Application of These Terms of Service. Subject always to termination in accordance herewith, these Terms of Service that have been accepted and agreed by Company are applicable only to the Cloud Service for such time that the Cloud Service is subject to an outstanding Order that Company has issued directly or indirectly to, and has been accepted by, Trend Micro.
1.1.2 Entire Agreement. The Company and Trend Micro agree that these Terms of Service (including the Standard Contractual Clauses and Data Processing Addendum that form a part hereof and set forth certain of the responsibilities of the Parties with respect to GDPR Data) are the final, complete, and exclusive statement of the agreement between the Parties with respect to access to and use of the Cloud Service secured by Company under an Order, and any prior agreements, representations, statements, white papers, or advertisement of Trend Micro (whether oral, written, or website) or otherwise arising from any course of dealing between the Parties or usage of the trade or descriptions that are not specifically set forth in these Terms of Service with respect to the subject matter hereof, are all merged into and superseded by these Terms of Service. Trend Micro will not be bound by, and specifically objects to, any term, condition or other provision that is different from or in addition to the provisions of these Terms of Service (whether or not it would materially alter these Terms of Service) and which is submitted by Company in any Order, confirmation, correspondence or other document. In entering into these Terms of Service, each Party represents and warrants to the other Party that it is NOT relying on any extrinsic representation, warranty, guarantee, condition, covenant, promise, forbearance, or inducement of any kind or nature that is or was made by any person that is not specifically set forth in these Terms of Service.
1.1.3 Procurement Under these Terms of Service. Company may secure Cloud Services under these Terms of Service by one of two methods:
a. Procurement Through a Reseller. Typically, Company will secure a Quote for Cloud Services from a Reseller of Trend Micro products or services. Based on such Quote, Orders by Company will be sent to the Reseller at such prices, discounts, and on invoice and payment terms as agreed solely by Company and its Reseller. Company understands that if an Order is placed with a Reseller, the Reseller can place an order with Trend Micro for Cloud Services (either directly through Trend Micro or through a Trend Micro distributor) as requested by Company, but such Order is and will be subject to acceptance or rejection by Trend Micro at its discretion. Based on documents submitted by the Reseller, Trend Micro will reject or accept the Order, which acceptance is signified by Trend Micro’s issuance of its Certificate to Company. Except for the matters agreed in the first sentence of this paragraph between the Reseller and Company, all other rights, obligations, terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions regarding Cloud Services that are purchased by Company are exclusively set forth in these Terms of Service. All payments by Company for Cloud Services Ordered from a Reseller will only be made directly to the Reseller and never to Trend Micro. Company acknowledges that each Reseller is an independent contractor and in no event or circumstance will any Reseller now or hereafter be deemed a joint venturer, partner, fiduciary, or agent of Trend Micro. No Reseller has been, or will ever be, authorized or permitted to have a right to create any binding obligation, responsibility, duty, liability, condition, warranty, guaranty, or any otherwise contract for or act on behalf of Trend Micro or waive or renounce any right of Trend Micro or modify any right, obligation, or agreement of Company set forth in these Terms of Service.
b. Direct Purchase from Trend Micro. Company may (if permitted by Trend Micro) secure a Quote directly from, and place an Order directly with, Trend Micro based on such Quote, which Order if accepted by Trend Micro will be governed solely by the terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions set forth in these Terms of Service (including the Certificate). All prices and payment terms will be as set forth in the Quote by Trend Micro and all payments for Cloud Services will be made by Company directly to Trend Micro on such payment terms as set forth in such Quote.
1.1.4 Not a Master Purchase Agreement. Company acknowledges that this is NOT a master purchase agreement for subsequent purchases of a Cloud Service, but rather, these Terms of Service only apply to the instant Order of a Cloud Service by Company. Each subsequent Order of Cloud Service placed by Company will be made subject to and conditioned on the agreement of the Parties to the then-current version of these Terms of Service unless otherwise agreed in a writing signed by the Parties.
1.2 Agreed Definitions. In addition to initially capitalized definitions, descriptions, clarifications, and agreements that may be set forth elsewhere in these Terms of Service (including all policies, procedures, and Trend Micro websites that are specifically referenced and incorporated herein), the initially capitalized definitions, descriptions, clarifications, and agreements shall have the meanings set forth in this Section 1.2 (each is an “Agreed Definition”) and all Agreed Definitions shall be equally applicable to the singular, plural, and derivative forms.

“Smart Protection Network” or “SPN” means Trend Micro’s Smart Protection Network.
“Standard Contractual Clauses” or “Clauses” or sometimes also referred to the “EU Model Clauses” means the Standard Contractual Clauses (processors) published by the European Commission, which Standard Contractual Clauses are attached to the Data Processing Addendum at trendmicro.com/dpa or as may be requested by Company from [email protected].
“Subscription Period” means the period (such as per host hour, month, or year, but never perpetually) for which Company has purchased the right to access and use a Cloud Service provided hereunder. The Subscription Period is as stated in the Certificate.

9.2 Suspension and Termination by Trend Micro. Trend Micro may suspend or terminate Company’s right to use Cloud Service (in whole or in part) at any time upon written notice if Trend Micro determines that: (a) Company or one or more of its Affiliates, Contractors, or End Users of Cloud Service (i) poses a security risk to Cloud Service or any third party, (ii) may adversely impact Cloud Service or any third party, (iii) is in non-compliance in any way with Section 2.8, or (iv) may subject Trend Micro, its Affiliates, its licensors, or any third party to liability; or (b) Company is in material breach of these Terms of Service, including a breach of or non-compliance by Company with any of its agreements in Sections 2.1 or 4.1.

For any termination or suspension by Trend Micro in accordance with the foregoing, Trend Micro will not provide, or be liable for, any refund or proration of fees.
9.3 Termination by Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, only if Company is entitled to terminate these Terms of Service for a material breach by Trend Micro (after giving Trend Micro at least twenty (20) days prior detailed written notice and an opportunity to cure such material breach during such notice period) of these Terms of Service, Company will be entitled to receive a refund from Trend Micro of the applicable unused fees (if any) pre-paid by Company for access to Cloud Service.

10. Intellectual Property Indemnity.
10.1 IP Claim Indemnity. Trend Micro (at its cost) will defend ONLY Company from each IP Claim and indemnify Company from the resulting costs and damages with respect to each such IP Claim finally awarded against Company ONLY that are specifically attributable to such IP Claim or those amounts agreed to by Trend Micro in a monetary settlement of such IP Claim, subject always to the conditions, qualifications and limitations in this Section 10. No settlement of any IP Claim will be made by Company (and Trend Micro will have no responsibility or obligation hereunder or otherwise therefor) without Trend Micro’s express written consent, which may be withheld at its sole and absolute discretion. The obligation of Trend Micro under this Section 10 for any IP Claim is subject to and conditioned on Company giving Trend Micro: (a) prompt written notice of any IP Claim (but in any event notice in sufficient time for Trend Micro to respond without prejudice to its position), provided that a failure to provide notice shall only relieve Trend Micro of its indemnity obligation to the extent Trend Micro was prejudiced by such failure; (b) sole and complete control and authority over the defense, negotiations, and settlement of such IP Claim; and (c) reasonable requested information, cooperation and assistance, at Trend Micro’s expense, with regard to the defense, negotiations, or settlement of such IP Claim. Without Company’s consent, Trend Micro will not settle with respect to Company, any IP Claim to the extent such settlement requires that Company admit any liability on the part of Company with respect to such IP Claim or pay any money therefor. Company may participate in the defense of any IP Claim at its cost with counsel of its selection. This indemnity is personal to Company and may not be assigned/transferred (in whole or in party) or otherwise passed through to any third party.
10.2 IP Claim Mitigation. Should a Cloud Service at any time become, or in Trend Micro’s opinion be likely to become, the subject of an IP Claim, Trend Micro shall have the right, at its sole option to: (a) procure for Company the right to continue using such Cloud Service as provided hereunder, or (b) modify such Cloud Service so that it no longer is the subject of an IP Claim, while maintaining substantially the same utility or functionality of the unmodified utility or functionality. If neither (a) or (b) are commercially practicable in Trend Micro’s opinion, Trend Micro may terminate these Terms of Service as to such Cloud Service and any related the rights granted hereunder to access and utilize the Cloud Service upon written notice, in which event Company will cease further use of the Cloud Service and return or uninstall and irrevocably destroy all copies of any Enabling Software (and its documentation) and, thereafter, Trend Micro will promptly refund to Company any unused, prepaid fees Company may have paid for such Cloud Service. The Parties agree that any termination hereof in accordance with this Section 10 shall not be treated as a breach of these Terms of Service by Trend Micro and shall not entitle Company to any claim for damages, losses, or expenses of any kind or nature arising from or related to such termination including for replacement cost or loss of use of the Cloud Service or any lost profits, savings, or revenue arising from or related to the Cloud Service. This Section 10 states Trend Micro’s sole and exclusive obligation and liability to Company, and Company’s sole and exclusive right and remedy against Trend Micro, for any IP Claim. Except as set forth herein this Section 10, Company acknowledges and agrees that no indemnity is given by Trend Micro with respect to any Cloud Service and Trend Micro specifically denies and disclaims any obligation to indemnify company and/or its affiliates from and against any other matter or thing in any event or circumstance. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Trend Micro’s liability shall not be limited by Section 8 to the extent of monies payable by Trend Micro by operation of this Section 10.
