This obligation does not apply to any Action or Losses arising out of or relating to any:

  1. access to or use of the Services or Vendor Materials in combination with any hardware, system, software, network, or other materials or service not provided or authorized in writing by Vendor; or

  2. modification of the Services or Vendor Materials other than: (i) by or on behalf of Vendor; or (ii) with Vendor’s written approval.

  1. Customer Indemnification. Customer will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Vendor and its officers, directors, employees, agents, permitted successors, and permitted assigns (each, a “Vendor Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by such Vendor Indemnitee in connection with any Action by a third party to the extent that such Losses arise out of or relate to any:

  2. materials or information (including any documents, data, specifications, software, content, or technology) provided by or on behalf of Customer or any User.

The Indemnitor will immediately take control of the defense of the Action and will employ counsel to handle and defend the Action, at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnitee’s failure to perform any obligations under this Section 10.3 will not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under this Section 10 except to the extent that the Indemnitor can demonstrate that it has been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnitee may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense with counsel of its own choosing.

  2. Mitigation. If any of the Services or Vendor Materials are, or in Vendor’s opinion are likely to be, claimed to infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate any third-party Intellectual Property Right, or if Customer’s or any User’s use of the Services or Vendor Materials is enjoined or threatened to be enjoined, Vendor may, at its option and sole cost and expense:

E2open will maintain back-up servers and telecommunications connections and maintain daily backups of Customer data on such backup servers. When Customer goes live on the Subscription Services in Production, E2open’s contingency planning, equipment, and software and telecommunications connections will enable E2open to make the Subscription Services available from such backup servers in accordance with this SLA. Hot backups are performed each day on all machines providing RDBMS or using and storing dynamic content of Customer data without interruptions to the Subscription Services. The backups are available onsite for a minimum of 24 hours and a maximum of 72 hours, after which backups are placed onto backup media for offsite archival storage. Customer data will be backed up onto backup media for a period of 30 days, after which the backup media of archived Customer Data will be destroyed. Backup media are rotated for offsite vaulting at a secured Tier 1 secured offsite storage facility. Backup media are randomly restored onto test servers for validation of both the backup procedure and the recovery procedure.

  1. PRODUCTION AVAILABILITY

  1. HIGH AVAILABILITY COMPONENTS

Production safeguards for high availability within a single data center.

Essential and Premier

Redundant Systems

In the event of primary system failure, the E2open Systems Management Infrastructure immediately provides an alert of the failure, and the system is failed over to a standby system. E2open uses mirrored disks, redundant SAN arrays, and other technologies to ensure the integrity of customer data stored on production systems.

In the event of equipment failure, E2open maintains service contracts and on-site production spares for rapid equipment replacement.

Telco Grade Data Hosting

E2open data centers have state-of-the-art fire detection, suppression, and alarm systems. The centers are designed to meet or exceed seismic design requirements and are built above sea-level with no basements. They have tightly sealed conduits, moisture barriers on exterior walls, dedicated pump rooms, drainage/evacuation systems and moisture detection sensors. Redundant uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and stand-by generator power supplies are on site in the event of a commercial power failure.

Backup and Off-site Data Storage

As defined in Section 6 (Customer Data Back-up and Availability)

Standard Recovery

In the unlikely event that information is lost or if available historical data needs to be retrieved, the E2open operations team can recall data stored at the secure off-site facility for recovery onto production systems.

Application software and full configurations are stored in E2open Application Manager, which can be used to rapidly replicate an entire production customer hub environment if needed due to equipment failure or other reasons. Backups of the application software and configurations are also stored in a secure offsite location.

  1. Exclusions. Excused Downtime includes Production unavailability due to circumstances outside of E2open’s control, including but not limited to Production unavailability resulting from (a) Customer-provided content or programming errors; (b) system administration, commands, or file transfers performed by or for Customer or its Users which are not supported by the Subscription Services; (c) work or activities performed at Customer’s request that require downtime; (d) denial of service attacks where E2open has taken commercially reasonable steps to prevent Outages from such attacks; (e) untimely Customer response time to incidents that require Customer participation for source identification and/or issue resolution; (f) Customer breach of its material obligations under one or more of the agreements between Customer and E2open; (g) failure of non-E2open managed Customer or User hardware or software; (h) Scheduled Maintenance as defined in Section 5.1 (Scheduled Maintenance) and Section 10 (Application Uptime SLA); or (i) Emergency Maintenance that has been authorized by Customer in advance as Excused Downtime.
  2. Service Credit. If Customer notifies E2open within 10 business days after Customer experiences a confirmed Outage, Customer is entitled to receive a Service Credit as set forth in Section 10 (Application Uptime SLA). Service Credits will be issued by E2open against the next related Annual Subscription Fees invoice for Subscription Services submitted to Customer following Customer’s notification to E2open of the Outage. E2open and Customer agree that Service Credits are liquidated damages and that such Service Credits will constitute Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to the Outages for which the Service Credits are related.
