a. Customer’s failure to: (i) correctly install Updates or other modifications to the Licensed Product provided by Cognyte, (ii) prepare a computing environment that meets the specified Customer Environment prior to Licensed Product installation or to maintain such Customer Environment and Licensed Product thereafter, (iii) grant access and security authorization, or (iv) provide necessary communications mechanisms;

b. Errors resulting from misuse, abuse, negligence, or improper use of all or any part of the Licensed Product; or problems to or caused by products or services not provided by Cognyte;

4.4 Additional Services. If Customer desires Cognyte to install and configure any Updates, or Cognyte provides Services as a result of any conditions specified in Section 4.2 or 4.3, or otherwise provides support services to Customer outside the scope of services specified for Customer’s applicable Maintenance and Support Plan, Cognyte may charge Customer for such services at Cognyte’s then current Professional Service Fee rate.

 

 

 

MOBILE APP TERMS

1 DEFINITIONS.

Mobile App. The application provided by Cognyte either through an online application store, a Cognyte website, or other method of download, where such application is intended to be loaded onto a Mobile Device for use in conjunction with a Cognyte product or service.

Mobile Device. A mobile telephone, tablet device or other handheld device.

2 LICENSE. By downloading or using a Mobile App, Customer is granted a nonexclusive, revocable, nontransferrable, nonassignable limited right to install and use the Mobile App on a Mobile Device, and to access and use the functionality on such Mobile Device strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and solely for the Cognyte product or services intended purpose.  The license granted hereunder to use the Mobile App is contingent upon Customer’s purchase (either directly, or indirectly through the relevant Cognyte product or service licensee) of connectivity licenses from Cognyte for the right to connect the Mobile App to the Cognyte product and/or service, and then that Mobile App license is only valid for so long as Customer continues to have a valid license or right to the other Cognyte product or service.

3 RESTRICTIONS. Customer shall not: (i) install, use or permit the Mobile App to exist on more than one Mobile Device at a time or on any other mobile device or computer, other than by means of separate downloads of the Mobile App, each of which is subject to a separate license (this restriction however does not limit Customer’s right to reinstall the Mobile App on the specific Mobile Device for which it was downloaded). 

4 SUPPORT AND RESPONSIBILITIES. Cognyte may periodically access Customer’s Mobile Device remotely to update, modify, add to or upgrade the Mobile App. Such updates, modifications, additions or upgrades may cause data loss or other issues. Customer is solely responsible for regularly backing Customer’s data to prevent this from occurring. Customer acknowledges and understands that certain services or aspects of the Mobile App require and utilize phone service, data access or text messaging capability. Carrier rates for phone, data and text messaging may apply and Customer is responsible for any such charges.
