By entering into this Agreement, whether prior to or following receipt of Reseller’s purchase order or any similar document, the parties are hereby expressly showing their intention not to be contractually bound by the contents of any such purchase order or similar document, which are hereby deemed rejected and extraneous to this Agreement, and Elastic’s performance of this Agreement shall not amount to: (i) an acceptance by conduct of any terms set out or referred to in the purchase order or similar document (ii) an amendment of this Agreement, nor (iii) an agreement to amend this Agreement. This Agreement shall not be modified except by a subsequently dated, written amendment that expressly amends this Agreement and which is signed on behalf of Elastic and Reseller by their duly authorized representatives. The parties agree that the terms and conditions of this Agreement are a result of mutual negotiations. Therefore, the rule of construction that any ambiguity shall apply against the drafter is not applicable and will not apply to this Agreement. Any ambiguity shall be reasonably construed as to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against one party regardless of who authored the ambiguous language.

U.S. PUBLIC SECTOR TERRITORY PROVISIONS

The following additional terms apply if Reseller is reselling to a Customer in the U.S. Public Sector Territory.

  1. 1. A new Section 5.4.1 is added to the Agreement as follows: Reseller will assert in writing in all offers, proposals, bids, responses to Requests for Quotes or Requests for Information, contractual documentation, or similar documents to any Customers or potential Customers in the U.S. Public Sector Territory that each Elastic Offering is a Commercial Item as that term is defined in the FAR at 48 C.F.R. § 2.101, comprised of, inter alia, commercial computer software, commercial computer software documentation, and/or commercial technical data, and that the Elastic Offering(s) required to be delivered, or which will be delivered, to any Customer shall be delivered subject to Elastic’s applicable customary commercial license and with less than/other than Unlimited Rights. Reseller shall provide a copy of Elastic’s Customer Agreement to each Customer or prospective Customer. Reseller shall ensure that all relevant contractual documentation with all Customers shall expressly set forth that, if acquired by or on behalf of a civilian agency of the U.S. Government, such agency acquires the Elastic Offering(s) as a Commercial Item(s) subject to the applicable Customer Agreement as specified in 48 C.F.R. 12-212 (Computer Software) and 12.211 (Technical Data). Similarly, Reseller shall ensure that all relevant contractual documentation with all Customers shall expressly set forth that, if acquired by or on behalf of an agency within the Department of Defense (“DOD”), such agency acquires the Elastic Offering(s) as a Commercial Item(s) subject to the applicable Customer Agreement as specified in 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-3 and 48 C.V.R. 227-7202-4, and consistent with 48 C.F.R. 227.7202. This U.S. Government Rights clause, consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12-212 and 48 C.F.R. 227-7202, is in lieu of, and supersedes, any other FAR, DFARS, or other clause or provision that addresses Government rights in commercial computer software, commercial computer software documentation or commercial technical data related to the Elastic Offerings under this Agreement and in any subcontract or contract under which the Elastic Offerings are acquired or licensed. A Customer Agreement shall be made a part of any contractual instrument (whether termed a Contract, Agreement, Purchase Order, Task Order, Prime Contract, or called by any other name) between the Reseller and any Customer of Elastic Offerings.
  2. 2. A new Section 5.4.2 is added to the Agreement as follows: Elastic will execute, as necessary and appropriate, the Buy American Act (“BAA”) Certificate at FAR 52.225-2 (MAY 2014) and the Trade Agreements Act (“TAA”) Certificate at FAR 52.225-6 (MAY 2014), and the representations and warranties that are mandatory by federal procurement law for federal Commercial Item subcontractors (generally FAR 52.212-3). Elastic will accept: the Subcontracts for Commercial Items clause or the FAR clauses listed in FAR 52.212-5(e)(1), Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders – Commercial Items; and DFARS 252.244-7000, Subcontracts for Commercial Items and Commercial Components (DoD Contracts), and solely with respect to DoD Prime Contracts, DFARS 252.227-7015, Technical Data – Commercial Items and those specific DFARS clauses specified in DFARS Case 2007-D003, Presumption of Development Exclusively at Private Expense, Final Rule, 76 Fed.Reg. 58144, September 20, 2011, but only if required by the Reseller’s Prime Contract, and if relevant and applicable. Under no circumstances will Elastic accept the FAR 52.227-19, Commercial Computer Software License clause. Elastic’s pricing, terms and conditions under this Agreement are based on its offering Commercial Items, including COTS Products, on favored customer and preferential terms and consequently Elastic will not accept any “flow down” clauses that are not mandatory under federal procurement law for Commercial Item subcontracts. Reseller shall not “flow down” or otherwise attempt to impose upon Elastic any FAR clauses or Agency-specific FAR Supplement clauses in relation to any Order, Purchase Order, Task Order or any other arrangement, and any attempt to do so is repudiated and both parties hereby confirm and acknowledge shall be considered null and void. Opportunities that require other different representations and warranties from Elastic, or the acceptance of other FAR or Agency-specific FAR Supplement clauses should be identified with specificity so that Elastic may evaluate and determine, in its sole discretion, whether it is appropriate to pursue such opportunity, and if so, whether it is appropriate to pursue such opportunity under this Agreement. In the event that Elastic elects to pursue such an opportunity, Elastic will provide a price for the additional representations, warranties and/or FAR or Agency-specific FAR Supplement clauses.
  3. 3. Section 5.6 of the Agreement (currently a “Reserved” section) is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced as follows: Reseller certifies and represents that it (i) has not made or solicited and will not make or solicit kickbacks in violation of FAR 52.203-7 or the Anti-Kickback Act of 1986 (41 U.S.C. chapter 87), both of which are incorporated herein by this specific reference; (ii) has and will continue to comply with 31 U.S.C. 1352 relating to limitations on the use of appropriated funds to influence certain Federal contracts; 18 U.S.C. 431 relating to officials not to benefit; 40 U.S.C. chapter 37, Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards; 41 U.S.C. chapter 87, Kickbacks; 41 U.S.C. 4712 and 10 U.S.C. 2409 relating to whistleblower protections; 49 U.S.C. 40118, Fly American; and 41 U.S.C. chapter 21 relating to procurement integrity; and (iii) has and will continue to comply with the Contractor Code of Business Ethics and Conduct requirements set forth in the FAR Subpart 3.10 and FAR 52.203-13, as relevant and applicable. Reseller warrants and represents that it is eligible to receive and perform federal government contracts and is a responsible contractor as that term is used in U.S. federal government contracting.

      2. 8.2 Elastic shall be liable for losses caused by the breach of its primary obligations. Primary obligations are such basic duties which form the essence of the Agreement, which were decisive for the conclusion of the Agreement and on the performance of which the parties may rely. If Elastic breaches its primary obligations through simple negligence, then its liability shall be limited to the losses typical and foreseeable at the time of the conclusion of the Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, this limitation of liability applies regardless of its legal cause (e.g. because of non-performance, impossibility of performance, warranty, delay, fault at conclusion of contract, breach of accessory obligation, rescission, tort). The parties agree that this limitation is fair in light of the potential damages of Reseller and the potential damages that can happen under the Agreement.

Routine backups must occur at adequate intervals, but at least once a day, so that data can be restored with reasonable effort. In the case of a loss of data culpably caused by Elastic, Elastic’s liability is limited to the expenses that are incurred if routine backups are properly made and virus protection properly employed.
      6. 8.6 Without prejudice to (a) Reseller’s rights under § 812 BGB (German Civil Code) and (b) Section 8 of this Agreement, Reseller’s rights under § 536 BGB (German Civil Code) are hereby excluded.
