In order to assist you in understanding this Agreement, we have defined words which have particular meanings in Schedule 1 below. The words in Schedule 1 will, unless otherwise required by the context, bear the same meaning throughout this Agreement.
By clicking the word “<AGREE>” at the end of this Agreement or any similar acceptance text on Snyk’s website, or by signing an Order Form which references this Agreement, you agree to this Agreement in its entirety. When you agree to this Agreement, you will be requesting that Snyk grant you access to the Services, and upon Snyk’s acceptance of your request (“Commencement Date”), Snyk will allow you to access and use the Services pursuant to the terms and conditions recorded in this Agreement. If you agree to this Agreement on behalf of a company or any other legal entity: (i) you warrant and represent that you are duly authorised to act on behalf of and to agree to this Agreement on behalf of such company or other entity; and (ii) you acknowledge that such company or other entity shall be legally bound by this Agreement. If you do not have the authority or capacity to enter into this Agreement, are under 18 years of age, or do not agree to any of the terms set forth in this Agreement, you must not agree to this Agreement and you must not access the Services.
For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement will apply to your use of and access to the Services, irrespective of whether you subscribe to: (i) a paid version of the Services, whether from Snyk directly, or from a third party approved by Snyk (“Channel Partner”); or (ii) a free trial or evaluation of the Services (“Evaluation”), or a free version of the Services, including your entitlement to use a paid version through the Open Source Projects available here: https://snyk.io/open-source (the “Open Source Project”), save that Sections 1(b), 3.2, 6, 8.2 and 11.6(a) shall not apply to the Services described in this (ii). For Open Source Projects, Snyk shall provide you with the Services at no charge, provided that you satisfy the Open Source Project requirements available at the above-described link.
If you elect to purchase the Services through a Channel Partner, or through such Channel Partner’s authorized reseller, your payment for the Services will be governed by the terms agreed upon by and between you and such Channel Partner or authorized reseller. Accordingly, Section 6.2 to 6.5 of this Agreement will not apply to your payment obligations for such transactions. However, all other provisions of this Agreement remain in effect and will continue to govern your use of the Services.

3. Obligations, Warranties, and Disclaimers
3.1 General. Snyk shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement: (a) grant you access to the Services; and (b) provide the level of Support set forth on the applicable Order Form or Service Plan.
3.2 Performance Warranty. Snyk will make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Services perform substantially in accordance with the Documentation and that all Support will be performed with reasonable skill and care (“Performance Warranty”). If the Services and Support do not conform with the foregoing Performance Warranty, Snyk will, at its expense, use reasonable efforts to promptly correct any such non-conformance. Such correction constitutes your sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of the Performance Warranty, provided that should Snyk fail to cure such non-conformity, you shall be permitted to terminate the applicable Services or Support in accordance with Section 10.2(a) (Termination) and receive a refund of any pre-paid Subscription Fees for such Services not delivered as of the date of termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Performance Warranty does not apply where you subscribe to a free version of the Services, an Evaluation or a paid version of the Services through the Open Source Project, and Snyk may suspend, limit or throttle such Services at any time where necessary due to the exigencies of its business.
3.3 Disclaimers. You acknowledge and agree that: (a) the Performance Warranty does not apply to the extent of any non-conformance which is caused by use of the Services by you that is not in accordance with the Documentation; (b) the Services will evolve over time and that functionality may be added and removed from time to time in Snyk’s sole discretion; and (c) your use of the Services may not be uninterrupted or error-free. Snyk specifically does not represent or warrant that: (a) the Services (including suggested Remediations) will meet your requirements or will be fit for your particular purpose; (b) the Services will be able to find and monitor all Issues in all code, configurations or dependencies included in, applicable to, or used by the Protected Asset; or (c) Snyk will be able to provide a Remediation for all Issues. Snyk will not be liable to you for any ‘false positive’ or ‘false negative’ Issues incorrectly identified by the Services or for any damage or loss arising from a Remediation deployed by you.
3.4 Customer Obligations. You are solely responsible for: (a) maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for any beach of this Agreement by any person accessing and using the Services using your account credentials; (b) managing access rights for your Users (where applicable) and removing such access rights from Users who should no longer have access to the Services; (c) any Users’ access and use of the Services not in accordance with this Agreement; (d) ensuring that your network, environment and systems comply with the relevant specifications set out in the Documentation and are secure; (e) ensuring the legality, integrity, and accuracy of Customer Data provided to Snyk; (f) assessing each Issue based on your own circumstances, environment, and risk assessments and accepting or rejecting Remediations accordingly; (g) setting your own controls, severities, priorities or permissions within the Services; and (h) where you subscribe to the Services for an Evaluation: (i) the consequences of your use of (or inability to use) the Services, and for any liability of any kind whatsoever arising out of or in relation to your use of (or inability to use) the Services; and (ii) taking appropriate measures to back up and make any required copies of Customer Data and to comply with Section 10 (Termination), and Snyk shall not be obliged to provide to you any assistance in extracting, transferring or recovering any data whether during or after the Evaluation Period. You also agree to comply with all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to your business and performance under this Agreement, including to the extent applicable, the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 and other human rights and sanctions laws.
3.5 Third Party Features. The Services may contain features designed to interoperate with applications or services separately provided to you by third parties, such as source code management services or other security scanning platforms or applications. Any operation or transaction completed via any third-party website, system, platform, or application is between you and the relevant third party, and is at your own risk. Snyk cannot guarantee the continued availability of such features; accordingly, Snyk may cease providing interoperability with them at any time, including if the relevant third-party ceases to make its application or service available for interoperation with the Services or changes the way it does so in a way that is not reasonably acceptable to Snyk.
3.6 Beta Services. From time to time, Snyk may make Beta Services available to you at no charge. Beta Services are made available “AS IS”, Snyk makes no representations or warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise regarding Beta Services, and Snyk shall have no liability of any kind arising out of or in connection with Beta Services. You may choose to try such Beta Services in your sole discretion. Snyk may discontinue Beta Services at any time in its sole discretion and may never make them generally available.
3.7 Specific Terms. Certain Applications and Tools have specific terms associated with their use as follows:
(a) Snyk Tools. The Tools are intended to be used as an interface between the Services and an external application or repository operated and controlled by you. You may access and use the Tools solely to enable your use of the Applications as permitted under this Agreement. Snyk may rate-limit, throttle or otherwise restrict usage of the Tools to prevent what it considers (in its absolute discretion) to be abuse, security issues, or excessive use. Snyk will use reasonable endeavours when applying such restriction(s) to return a descriptive error message. No warranty or representation is made as to its compatibility with any software or technical protocols or standards.
(b) Snyk AppRisk. Snyk AppRisk permits customers to enable connections to Third Party Sources. You represent and warrant that: (i) prior to using Snyk AppRisk in connection with such Third Party Sources, you have entered into valid, written license agreements with each applicable third party enabling such use; and, (ii) you have sufficient rights as may be required to grant Snyk access to your accounts with such Third Party Sources to facilitate interoperation with the Services and access and import Third Party Data. You are solely responsible for any software you decide to enable Third Party Sources to connect to or interact with the Services.
(c) Snyk Code Local Engine (CLE). The CLE is a fully contained version of the Snyk Code analysis engine which enables the Protected Asset to be scanned locally, within your own environment, using Snyk Code. Where you purchase the CLE pursuant to an applicable Order Form, Snyk grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable (subject to Section 11.9), non-sublicensable right to permit Users to access, use, install, and run the CLE (i) solely for your internal business operations to support the development, maintenance, and functionality of the Protected Asset, and (ii) subject to any limitations set forth on such Order Form. You shall be responsible for the preparation, settings, and configurations (including requirements of any third-party systems and networking options) for the deployment of the CLE in your environment in accordance with the Documentation. Snyk may, in its discretion, allow you to deploy non-production instances, such as for test, staging or quality assurance purposes. No warranty or representation is made as to its compatibility with any computing environment operated and controlled by you.
3.8 Consulting Services. You may opt to purchase à la carte consulting services to be provided on a time and materials basis as mutually agreed upon in a statement of work signed by both parties (“Consulting Services”). The statement of work will describe the scope of the Consulting Services as well as the fees to be paid. The statement of work may include terms that amend or supplement the terms in this Agreement as those terms specifically apply to Snyk’s or, if applicable, its third-party partners’, delivery of the Consulting Services.
4. Data Processing Addendum, Security Addendum, and security notices
4.1 Privacy Notice. To the extent that Snyk processes Personal Data relating to you (as a data controller, as defined under applicable data protection laws) when performing its obligations under this Agreement, it will do so materially in accordance with its Privacy Notice displayed at https://snyk.io/policies/privacy/. The Privacy Notice does not form part of this Agreement and may be amended by Snyk from time to time.

5. Intellectual Property Rights
5.1 Snyk’s Intellectual Property Rights. As between the parties, all right, title, and interest in and to the Services, Documentation, and Usage Data, including all Intellectual Property Rights therein, are and will remain, with Snyk and/or its licensors. You have no right, license, or authorization with respect to any of the Services except as expressly set out in this Agreement.
5.2 Your Intellectual Property Rights. As between the parties, you are and will remain the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title, and interest in and to all Customer Data and Protected Assets, including all Intellectual Property Rights relating thereto, subject to the rights and permissions granted in Section 5.3 (Grant of Rights to Snyk).

You hereby grant all such rights and permissions in or relating to Customer Data and the Protected Asset as are necessary to enable Snyk to perform the Services and otherwise exercise its rights and obligations hereunder. All written or oral comments, ideas and suggestions made by you (or your Users) to Snyk regarding the Services, Support, or Beta Services (including regarding product experience, functionality, performance, accuracy, consistency, and ease of use of the same) (“Feedback”) may be freely utilized by Snyk without attribution or compensation of any kind to you. You hereby irrevocably transfer and assign to Snyk all Intellectual Property Rights embodied in, or arising in connection with, such Feedback.
6. Subscription Fees
6.1 Subscription Fees and Audit. You agree to pay the Subscription Fees (if any) due for the duration of the Term. Snyk verifies its customers’ use of the Services on a quarterly basis to ensure compliance with the Subscription Allocation. In the event such verification reveals that your use of the Services exceeds the Subscription Allocation, you must reduce your usage of the Services to the amounts set out in the Subscription Allocation within 30 days of becoming aware of the overage, failing which, Snyk (or its Channel Partner, where applicable) may invoice you for the associated additional Subscription Fees at its then current rates for the remainder of the then-current Term. If you purchase additional Subscription Allocations or move to a higher tier Service Plan during the Term, Subscription Fees shall be pro-rated for the remainder of the then-current Term. You may not downgrade your Subscription Allocation or move to a lower tier of any Service Plan during the term of this Agreement.
6.2 Billing. Depending on whether you subscribe to the Services on an Order Form or Service Plan, the billing frequency and payment terms applicable to you shall be as follows:
(a) Order Form: Where you subscribe to the Services on an Order Form, Snyk will invoice you in accordance with the billing frequency and payment terms on the Order Form and you will pay each invoice per such terms. If billing frequency and payment terms are omitted from the Order Form, the default billing frequency is annual and the payment term is net 30 from the date of the invoice; or
(b) Service Plan: Where you subscribe to the Services through a Service Plan, Snyk and/or its third party payment processor will (and you hereby authorise it to) bill your payment card for the applicable Subscription Fee. You will be billed the applicable Subscription Fee in advance on or shortly after the date you select the Service Plan and on each month or anniversary thereafter, until this Agreement and/or the Services are terminated by you or Snyk in accordance with this Agreement. Snyk reserves the right to change the Subscription Fees applicable to its Service Plans at any time. If you do not agree to such change, you must delete your account by means of the Service, or by contacting Snyk’s support team for deletion assistance and stop using the Services, at which point, this Agreement will be deemed to have been terminated by you at the end of your then current billing period. Snyk will only charge you in respect of the period before termination based on the previously agreed Subscription Fee, and will not be required to refund any Subscription Fees to you. If you do agree to such change (which will be deemed from your continued use of the Services after the date the new Subscription Fee becomes effective), your next bill will include the new Subscription Fees on a pro rata basis.
6.3 Late Payments. If Snyk has not received payment by the due date, Snyk may notify you of the default and, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies of Snyk, Snyk may disable your access to all or part of the Services if payment has not been made by you or by the Channel Partner (as applicable) within 10 Business Days of the date of the notice of default.
6.4 Committed Subscription Fees and Taxes. All Subscription Fees are: (a) non-cancellable and non-refundable; (b) payable in US Dollars; and (c) exclusive of any applicable taxes. You are required to pay and bear any sales, use, value-added, goods and services, withholding, or similar taxes or duties, whether domestic or foreign, related to the transactions under this Agreement, other than taxes based on the income of Snyk. You will pay all amounts due under this Agreement in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding. If withholding is required under the laws of any relevant tax jurisdiction, withholding will be applied at the lowest applicable rate including the reduced rate of withholding under any tax treaty. You will also provide Snyk with a copy of the withholding tax certificate or other applicable documentation as proof of payment.
6.5 Renewal Subscription Fee Increases. Unless otherwise set forth in the Service Plan or the Order Form (whichever is applicable), if your subscription to the Services auto-renews pursuant to Section 10.1 below, Snyk may increase the Subscription Fees for each Renewal Term by no more than 5% over the prior year’s Subscription Fees rate for the applicable Services.
7. Confidentiality
7.1 Each party (“Recipient”) will be given access to Confidential Information from the other party (“Discloser”) to perform its obligations under this Agreement. A party's Confidential Information shall not be deemed to include information that: (a) is or becomes publicly known other than through any act or omission of the Recipient; (b) was in the Recipient's lawful possession before the disclosure; (c) is lawfully disclosed to the Recipient by a third party without restriction on disclosure; or, (d) is independently developed by the Recipient without reference to, or reliance on, the Confidential Information of the Discloser, which independent development can be shown by written evidence. Your Confidential Information includes Customer Data. Snyk’s Confidential Information includes the Services, Service Data, product roadmaps, pricing, and the results of any performance tests of the Services. The terms of this Agreement are confidential to both parties.
7.2 Each Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law or a court order, provided that prior to any such disclosure, the Recipient will, to the extent legally permissible, provide to the Discloser notice of such request and use reasonable efforts to ensure that all Confidential Information so disclosed is treated confidentially.
7.3 Each Recipient will hold the Discloser’s Confidential Information in confidence and, unless required by law and disclosed pursuant to Section 7.2, not make the Discloser's Confidential Information available to any third party or use the Discloser’s Confidential Information for any purpose other than as set out in this Agreement. The foregoing will not apply with respect to any Confidential Information three (3) years after the termination or expiration of this Agreement (or, with respect to trade secrets, once such Confidential Information no longer constitutes a trade secret under applicable law).
7.4 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, Recipient may disclose Discloser’s Confidential Information, in whole or in part (i) to its employees, officers, directors, consultants and professional advisers (e.g., attorneys, auditors, financial advisors, accountants and other professional representatives, collectively, with the foregoing, “Personnel”) who have a need to know and are legally bound to keep such Confidential Information confidential by confidentiality obligations, or, in the case of professional advisors, are bound by ethical duties, to keep such Confidential Information confidential consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Recipient is responsible and liable for its Personnels’ compliance with this Section 7, as if their actions or inactions were an action or inaction of Recipient.
8. Indemnity
8.1 Your Indemnity. You shall defend and indemnify Snyk, its Affiliates, and each of its and their officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents, successors and assigns from and against all Losses incurred from a third-party claim arising out of your: (a) fraud, gross negligence, or wilful misconduct; or, (b) breach of Section 2 (Restrictions on Use).
8.2 Snyk Indemnity. Snyk shall defend and indemnify you, your Affiliates, and each of your and their officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents, successors and permitted assigns, from and against all Losses incurred from a third-party claim that the Services infringe such third party’s Intellectual Property Rights.
8.3 Indemnification Procedure. Each party will promptly notify the other party in writing of any claim for which such party believes it is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 8. The party seeking indemnification (the "Indemnitee") shall cooperate with the other party (the "Indemnitor") at the Indemnitor's sole cost and expense. The Indemnitor shall promptly assume control of the defense and shall employ counsel to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnitor's sole cost and expense. The Indemnitee shall not at any time admit liability or otherwise settle or compromise or attempt to settle or compromise the said claim or action except upon the express instructions of the Indemnitor. The Indemnitee may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense with counsel of its own choosing. Neither party may settle a claim that results in liability or admission of liability by the Indemnitee without the Indemnitee’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnitee's failure to perform any obligations under this Section 8.3 will not relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligations, except to the extent that the Indemnitor can demonstrate that it has been materially prejudiced because of such failure.
8.4 Mitigation. If any of the Services are, or in Snyk’s reasonable opinion are likely to be, claimed to infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate any third-party Intellectual Property Right, or if your use of the Services is enjoined or threatened to be enjoined, Snyk may, at its option and sole cost and expense: (a) obtain the right for you to continue to use the Services materially as contemplated by this Agreement; (b) modify or replace the Services, in whole or in part, to seek to make the Services (as so modified or replaced) non-infringing, while providing materially equivalent features and functionality, in which case such modifications or replacements will constitute Services under this Agreement; or, (c) by written notice to you, terminate this Agreement and require you to immediately cease any use of the Services, provided that you will be entitled to a refund of any pre-paid Subscription Fees for Services not delivered as of the termination date.
8.5 Exclusions. In no event shall Snyk, its Affiliates, and each of their employees, agents and sub-contractors have any liability or obligation under Section 8.2 to the extent the claim arises out of or relates to: (a) a modification of the Services by you; (b) any breach of your obligations under this Agreement or your use of the Services in a manner contrary to the Documentation; (c) your use of the Services in combination with other products, services, data, or processes not recommended or provided by Snyk, where the alleged infringement would not have occurred in the absence of such use; (d) your use of the Services after notice of the alleged or actual infringement from Snyk or any appropriate authority; or, (e) any Customer Data or your implementation of Remediations.
8.6 Exclusive Remedy. THIS SECTION 8 SETS FORTH YOUR SOLE REMEDIES AND SNYK'S SOLE LIABILITY AND OBLIGATION FOR ANY ACTUAL, THREATENED, OR ALLEGED CLAIMS THAT THE SERVICES INFRINGE, MISAPPROPRIATE, OR OTHERWISE VIOLATE ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY.
9. Limitation of liability
9.1 EXCLUSIONS FROM LIABILITY. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT: (A) SNYK SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN ANY INFORMATION, INSTRUCTIONS OR SCRIPTS PROVIDED TO SNYK BY YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES, OR ANY ACTIONS TAKEN BY SNYK AT YOUR DIRECTION; (B) ALL WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, CONDITIONS AND ALL OTHER TERMS OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED BY STATUTE OR COMMON LAW ARE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXCLUDED FROM THIS AGREEMENT; AND, (C) THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED TO YOU ON AN "AS IS" BASIS.
9.2 EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT UNDER ANY LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, INCLUDING BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, AND OTHERWISE, FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, ENHANCED, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGE WAS FORESEEABLE AND WHETHER EITHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
9.3 LIMITATION ON MONETARY LIABILITY. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN SECTION 9.4, IN NO EVENT WILL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF EITHER PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) 100 USD; OR (B) THE TOTAL SUBSCRIPTION FEES PAID OR PAYABLE BY YOU UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR THE 12 MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS APPLY EVEN IF ANY REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
9.4 EXCEPTIONS. THE LIMITATION ON MONETARY LIABILITY SET FORTH ABOVE SHALL NOT APPLY TO: (A) A PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 8; (B) LOSSES FOR DEATH OR BODILY INJURY; OR (C) LIABILITY WHICH CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EACH PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS OF THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THIS ALLOCATION IS REFLECTED IN THE PRICING OFFERED BY SNYK TO YOU AND IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9 (LIMITATION OF LIABILITY) WILL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY IN THIS AGREEMENT
10. Term and termination
10.1 Term. The term of this Agreement is determined by whether you subscribe to a free version of the Services, an Evaluation, or a paid version of the Services. In each case, this Agreement shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall endure for the duration set forth in (a), (b) or (c) below:
(a) Free Version of Services (including Open Source Projects): This Agreement will endure until it is terminated by either party as follows: (i) by Snyk at any time and for any reason, including without notice to you; or (ii) by you at any time by deleting your organization and projects in accordance with Section 10.3(b);
(b) Evaluations: This Agreement will, unless otherwise terminated early as provided herein, endure until the earlier of: (i) the expiry of the Evaluation Period; or (ii) the termination of this Agreement by Snyk by providing 3 calendar days’ notice to you, where Snyk reasonably believes that the Services or Documentation are not being used in accordance with this Agreement, or are being accessed in a way that interferes with the normal operation of the Service; or
(c) Paid Version of Services: This Agreement will, unless otherwise terminated early as provided herein, endure for the term recorded in the Order Form or Service Plan (whichever is applicable). Unless otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the term of an initial Order Form or Service Plan will (unless otherwise specified in the Order Form or Service Plan) be 1 year from the date specified in the Order Form or Service Plan as the start date of your subscription to the Services (the “Initial Term”) and, thereafter, unless either party provides the other party with written notice of non-renewal at least 30 days prior to the end of the then current Term, shall renew automatically for successive 1 year periods (each a “Renewal Term“). The Initial Term together with any Renewal Term(s) shall constitute the Term of the Order Form or Service Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, a valid notice of non-renewal provided by one party to the other in terms of this Section 10.1(c), will result in the termination of the Order Form or Service Plan (whichever is applicable) at the end of its then current Term, and no Subscription Fees shall be refunded to you.
10.2 Termination. Without affecting any other right or remedy available to it, including (but not limited to) the rights in Section 10.1, either party may terminate this Agreement, an Order Form and/or the Service Plan with immediate effect by giving written notice to the other party if: (a) the other party commits a material breach of any other term of this Agreement which breach is irremediable or, if such breach is remediable, the breaching party fails to remedy that breach within a period of 30 days after being notified in writing to do; (b) the other party ceases to function as a going concern or to conduct operations in the normal course of business; or, (c) the other party has a petition filed by or against it under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws which petition has not been dismissed or set aside within sixty (60) days of filing. Snyk may additionally terminate this Agreement upon written notice to you if: (i) you fail to pay any amount due under this Agreement on the due date for payment and remain in default not less than 10 Business Days after being notified in writing to make such payment (though termination does not relieve you of your payment obligation); or (ii) the Channel Partner (if any) fails to pay any amounts due to Snyk with respect to your subscription to the Services. You acknowledge and agree that Snyk shall have no liability of any kind with respect to any such termination, and your sole recourse with respect to any such termination shall be against the Channel Partner.
10.3 Effect of Termination. On termination or expiry of this Agreement and/or an applicable Order Form/Service Plan for any reason:
(a) the rights granted to you under this Agreement, including under Section 1 (Right to Use) shall immediately terminate except that you may continue to use (in accordance with the restrictions on use set out in this Agreement) Service Data provided to you prior to termination or expiry of this Agreement. You assume sole responsibility and Snyk shall incur no liability risk resulting from any continued use of the Service Data following termination or expiration;
(b) you must promptly delete your organization and projects from the Services by either activating the delete button in the Services or contacting Snyk’s support team for deletion assistance;
(c) you shall immediately uninstall all Tools (and, if applicable, the CLE) from all computer equipment in its possession or control and, upon written request from Snyk, will provide satisfactory evidence of the same; and,
(s) any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities of the parties that have accrued up to the date of termination or expiry, including the right to claim damages with respect to any breach of this Agreement which existed at or before the date of termination shall not be affected or prejudiced.
11. General
11.1 Interpretation. Headings are for reference only and do not affect the interpretation of this Agreement. Capitalized terms have the meanings indicated in this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, which meaning will be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms.

If you continue to use the Services after the update becomes effective, you acknowledge that you will be deemed to have agreed to (and will be bound by) the updated terms. No other amendment or modification of this Agreement, including by you or, where applicable, by any Channel Partner, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each party.
11.7 Entire Agreement.

No terms included in any purchase order or other ordering document, or any vendor invoicing service or similar platform or portal, maintained by or on your behalf shall be binding or have any effect.
11.8 Conflict and Authority: If your subscription to the Services is purchased through a Channel Partner, the Channel Partner (and not Snyk) is responsible for ensuring that the contents of any agreement between you and the Channel Partner, and the contents of any Order Form issued by the Channel Partner, are accurate and correct. In the event of a conflict between any provision in this Agreement and any provision in any agreement (or Order Form) between you and a Channel Partner, this Agreement will prevail to the extent of the conflict. The Channel Partner (if any) is not permitted to modify this Agreement, to make any warranties, representations, or undertakings on Snyk’s behalf, or to bind Snyk to any obligations other than those set forth in this Agreement.

No assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder incurred prior to the assignment. Any attempted assignment, transfer, or other conveyance in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
11.10 No Partnership or Agency. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or will operate to create a partnership between the parties, or authorize either party to act as agent for the other, and neither party shall have the authority to act in the name or on behalf of or otherwise to bind the other in any way (including, but not limited to, the making of any representation or warranty, the assumption of any obligation or liability and the exercise of any right or power).
11.11 Third Party Rights.
