2 SERVICES GENERALLY; AGREEMENT SCOPE

2.1 Account.

(a) Registration and Subscription Levels. In order to use Elastic Cloud, Customer must first register for one or more account(s) (each an "Account"). Each Account may be used in connection with one or more Subscriptions, provided that all Subscriptions within an individual Account must be at the same Subscription Level. Customer may not register multiple Accounts to simulate or act as a single Account, or otherwise access Elastic Cloud in a manner intended to avoid incurring fees, including, without limitation, by using more than one Account to service the same Project. Communications from Elastic to Customer regarding Elastic Cloud will be sent to the email address registered with each of Customer's Accounts.

(b) Customer Security Obligations. Customer is responsible for maintaining the security of the login credentials, security-keys and the correct configuration of access control lists for Customer's Accounts. Customer is fully responsible for all activities that occur under its Accounts. Customer agrees to immediately notify Elastic of any unauthorized use of its Accounts, use of an Account in violation of this Agreement or any other breaches of security related to its Elastic Cloud Account(s), of which Customer becomes aware.

2.2 Subscriptions.

(a) Subscription Orders. Orders for Subscriptions may be placed by Customer through the execution of Order Forms with Elastic, setting forth the (i) Elastic Cloud Subscription Level, (ii) Subscription Term, (iii) Resource quantities and (iv) applicable fees. Each executed Order Form is incorporated by reference into, and shall be governed by the terms and conditions of, this Agreement.

(b) Adding Resources to Subscriptions. Customer may add Resources to an existing Subscription via the Elastic Cloud user interface, on either a temporary basis, or for the remainder of the applicable Subscription Term. Temporary increases in Resources are priced at the then-current list price. Increases in Resources for the remainder of an applicable Subscription Term are provided at the price stated on the Order Form under which the applicable Subscription was purchased. Fees applicable to increased Resources will be invoiced in accordance with Section 5 below.

(c) Upgrading Subscription Levels. Customer may upgrade the Subscription Level of existing Subscriptions through execution of a new Order Form, provided that where Customer upgrades the Subscription Level of an existing Subscription, all other Subscriptions in the same Account, if any, will automatically be upgraded to the same Subscription Level. Fees applicable to upgraded Subscription Levels will be invoiced in accordance with Section 5 below.

2.3 Order of Precedence. To the extent there is any conflict between or among the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and those set forth in any executed Order Form, the Support Services Policy or the Privacy Statement, the following order of precedence will apply: (i) the Privacy Statement, (ii) an applicable Order Form (but only for the transaction thereunder), (iii) this Agreement, and (iv) the Support Services Policy.

2.4 Affiliates.

(a) Generally. The parties agree that their respective Affiliates may also conduct business under this Agreement by entering into Order Forms, subject to such additional and/or alternative terms and conditions to those contained in this Agreement as may be mutually agreed upon in order to comply with local country law or business practices, and which are set forth in a country specific participation agreement, executed by the applicable parties which otherwise incorporates the terms and conditions of this Agreement ("Participation Agreement"). Accordingly, where Affiliates of the parties conduct business hereunder, references to Customer shall include any applicable Customer Affiliate, and references to Elastic shall include any applicable Elastic Affiliate. The parties agree that where either of them or one of their Affiliates enters into an Order Form with an Affiliate of the other party, that such Affiliate shall be solely responsible for performing all of its obligations under this Agreement in connection with such Order Form.

(b) Elastic Cloud Standard. Where Customer purchases a Subscription to Elastic Cloud Standard, the applicable Order Form will establish a contract between Customer and Elastic Affiliate, Elasticsearch AS (which owns and operates Elastic Cloud Standard), which incorporates, and is subject to, all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Execution of such Order Form by authorized representatives of Customer and Elasticsearch AS will indicate the intention and consent of Elasticsearch AS and Customer to enter into such a contract.

2.5 Subscriptions Purchased Through Resellers. The parties agree that Customer may purchase through Resellers Subscriptions that are governed by this Agreement. Where Customer purchases a Subscription through a Reseller, the Reseller will enter into an Order Form with Elastic for the purchase of a Subscription that shows Customer as the "ship to" party and Reseller as the "bill to" party, and Reseller and Customer will enter into a separate agreement setting forth the fees to be paid by Customer to Reseller for such Subscriptions, as well as any other terms or conditions that apply between them. Elastic hereby agrees that, subject to receiving payment from the Reseller, it shall be responsible to Customer, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for providing Elastic Cloud and any Support Services under any such Subscription.

If any action or proceeding, whether regulatory, administrative, at law or in equity is commenced or instituted to enforce or interpret any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement (excluding any mediation required under this Agreement), the prevailing party in any such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees, expert witness fees, costs of suit and expenses, in addition to any other relief to which such prevailing party may be entitled. As used herein, "prevailing party" includes without limitation, a party who dismisses an action for recovery hereunder in exchange for payment of the sums allegedly due, performance of covenants allegedly breached, or consideration substantially equal to the relief sought in the action.

12.4 Customer Identification. Customer consents to Elastic's identification of Customer as a user of Elastic Cloud and the Support Services, on its website, through a press release issued by Elastic and in other promotional materials.

12.5 Force Majeure. Except with respect to payment obligations, neither party will be liable for, or be considered to be in breach of, or in default under, this Agreement, as a result of any cause or condition beyond such party's reasonable control.

12.6 Future Features and Functions. Customer understands and agrees that any features or functions of services or products referenced on any Elastic website, or in any presentations, press releases or public statements, which are not currently available or not currently available as a GA release, may not be delivered on time or at all. The development, release, and timing of any features or functionality described for our products and services remains at Elastic's sole discretion. Accordingly, Customer agrees that it is purchasing products and services based solely upon features and functions that are currently available as of the time an Order Form is executed, and not in expectation of any future feature or function.

12.7 Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of Japan without reference to its conflict of laws principles. This Agreement shall not be governed by the 1980 UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The parties hereby irrevocably waive any and all claims and defenses either might action or proceeding in any applicable courts, based upon any alleged lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, forum non conveniens, or any similar claim or defense.

12.8 Non-Solicitation. During the Agreement and for a period of twelve (12) months following its expiry or earlier, lawful termination, Customer shall not solicit, nor approach in any way, any of Elastic's employees or contract staff with a view to (i) offering such persons, employment, (ii) soliciting services from them on their own account, (iii) encouraging them to provide their services to a third party rather than Elastic, or (iv) offering to them the opportunity to perform services similar to the Support Services. However, the foregoing restriction shall not apply to any employee or former employee that responds (without specific solicitation) to a general solicitation of general circulation, placement agencies, or similar means.

12.9 Notices. Any notice or other communication under this Agreement given by either party to the other will be deemed to be properly given if given in writing and delivered in person or by e-mail, if acknowledged received by return e-mail or followed within one day by a delivered or mailed copy of such notice, or if mailed, properly addressed and stamped with the required postage, to the intended recipient at its address specified on an Order Form. Notices to Elastic may also be sent to legal@elastic.co. Either party may from time to time change its address for notices under this Section by giving the other party notice of the change in accordance with this Section 12.9.

12.10 Non-waiver. Any failure of either party to insist upon or enforce performance by the other party of any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any rights or remedies under this Agreement will not be interpreted or construed as a waiver or relinquishment of such party's right to assert or rely upon such provision, right or remedy in that or any other instance.

12.11 Relationship of the Parties. The relationship of the parties hereunder shall be that of independent contractors, and nothing herein shall be deemed or construed to create any employment, agency or fiduciary relationship between the parties. Each party shall be solely responsible for the supervision, direction, control and payment of its personnel, including, without limitation, for taxes, deductions and withholdings, compensation and benefits, and nothing herein will be deemed to result in either party having an employer-employee relationship with the personnel of the other party.

12.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect and such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible so as to give effect the intent of the parties and will be reformed to the extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.

12.13 Suggestions, Ideas and Feedback. Subject to its obligations under Section 6 of this Agreement (Confidential Information), Elastic will be free to use, irrevocably, in perpetuity and for any purpose, all suggestions, ideas and/or feedback (collectively, "Feedback") provided to Elastic by Customer, or its Affiliates and their respective employees, Contractors or other agents, with respect to Elastic Cloud and/or the Support Services. The foregoing grant of rights is made without any duty to account to any of the foregoing persons or entities for the use of such Feedback.

12.14 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, together with the Order Form executed by the parties, the Privacy Statement and the Support Services Policy, constitute the entire agreement between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof, and it supersedes, and its terms govern, all prior proposals, agreements, or other communications between the parties, oral or written, regarding such subject matter. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereby expressly acknowledge and agree that if Customer issues any purchase orders or similar documents in connection with its purchase of Elastic Cloud and Support Services, Customer shall do so only for Customer's own internal, administrative purposes and not with the intent to provide any contractual terms. By entering into the Agreement, whether prior to or following receipt of Customer'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. Except as expressly provided in 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 Customer by duly authorized representatives.
