If you want to use the Software for a greater volume of input flow records, or in a different deployment, you agree to acquire the number of additional licenses to the Software required for such greater volume of flow records. In addition, except as otherwise specifically permitted in this Agreement, you may not: (a) modify or create any derivative works of the Software or Documentation, including translation or localization; (b) copy the Software except as provided in this Agreement; (c) separate Software, which is licensed as a single product, into its component parts; (d) sublicense or permit simultaneous use of the Software by more than one user; (e) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive the source code for the Software (except to the extent applicable laws specifically prohibit this restriction); (f) redistribute, encumber, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, use the Software in a timesharing or service bureau arrangement, or otherwise transfer the Software or any rights to the Software under any circumstances; (g) remove or alter any trademark, logo, copyright or other proprietary notices, legends, symbols or labels in the Product(s); (h) publish any results of tests run on the Software to a third party without prior written consent from NetFlow Logic; or (i) use the Software on a system with more input flow records than the level licensed.

You also agree that any information about defects or bugs in the Software and also the performance of the Software, are confidential information. You shall permit only authorized users, who possess rightfully licensed copies of the Software, to use the Software, or to view the Documentation. You agree not to transfer, copy, publish, make available for others to copy or download, disclose, provide or otherwise make available such confidential information in any form to any third party without the prior written consent of NetFlow Logic.

You hereby grant to NetFlow Logic the worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty free, fully paid up rights: (i) to make, use, copy, modify, sell, distribute, sub-license, and create derivative works of, the Feedback as part of any NetFlow Logic product, technology, service, specification or other documentation (individually and collectively, “NetFlow Logic Products”); (ii) to publicly perform or display, import, broadcast, transmit, distribute, license, offer to sell, and sell, rent, lease or lend copies of the Feedback (and derivative works thereof) as part of any NetFlow Logic Product or marketing or sales efforts of NetFlow Logic. Further, you confirm that your Feedback is not subject to any license terms that would require NetFlow Logic to comply with any additional obligations with respect to any NetFlow Logic Products that incorporate any Feedback.

Licensing and Rate Measurement

NetFlow Optimizer Software is licensed based upon the number of NetFlow records processed per second, measured in blocks. One block is up to 1000 NetFlow records per second. You may purchase the number of blocks appropriate for your environment, and allocate them to as many NetFlow Optimizer deployments (instances) as needed, with a minimum of one block per instance. For example, if you would like to install two instances of NetFlow Optimizer, one to process 300 flows per second, and another one 200 flows per second, you need to purchase two licenses. If one instance processes 1200 flows per second, and another one 200, you need to purchase three licenses (two licenses for the first instance, and another one license for the second instance).

There may be unanticipated spikes of network traffic in your environment, resulting in spikes of NetFlow data. To accommodate for these peaks the following method of calculating your license requirements is implemented.

The Software measures the average flow record input rate every 5 minutes, rounds it up to the nearest thousand, and records it. At the end of each day (from midnight to midnight according to the clock of the server) the Software sorts that day’s records in descending order, disregards the top 5% of the data, and determines the next highest record as that day’s measured number of blocks. Overages occur when your day’s measured rate exceeds the number of blocks granted for your license.

Payment Terms

The fee for your use of the Software during the first annual term of this License is set forth in your Invoice, with the initial fee payable Net Thirty (30) Days. If you have 5 or more overages in a rolling 30 day period, you are using the Software beyond the scope of your License, and should contact NetFlow Logic sales to secure an appropriate number of additional licenses. NetFlow Logic shall have the right to audit the information you provide concerning your level of use, with the cost of any such audit being the responsibility of NetFlow Logic unless a discrepancy in excess of 20% is determined to exist as a result of such audit, in which case the cost shall be yours.

Product Support

Maintenance and support for the Software will be provided by NetFlow Logic during the annual term of this License as specified in Appendix A to this Agreement.

Ownership of Software

NetFlow Logic explicitly states, and you agree, that the Software is not open source; it is commercial software. Title to the Software and all copies thereof remain with NetFlow Logic.

Except as expressly provided herein, NetFlow Logic does not grant any express or implied right to you under NetFlow Logic patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade secret information. Patent applications on the Software are pending.

Term of this Agreement

The term of the license rights granted under this Agreement shall be one (1) year, and such term will automatically be renewed at the then-applicable annual license fee on a year-to-year basis for additional one (1) year terms, unless notice of a contrary intention is provided by either Party to the other at least thirty days prior to the next anniversary of this Agreement. Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time for a breach of a material term hereof, by providing the other party with written notice thereof. The Party receiving such notice shall have thirty (30) days to fully cure any alleged breach, unless such breach is of a type that cannot be cured.

Upon any termination of this Agreement, the rights and licenses granted to you under this Agreement shall immediately terminate, and you shall immediately cease using, and will permanently delete or return to NetFlow Logic, the Software, Documentation, and all other tangible items in your possession or control that are proprietary to NetFlow Logic or contain Confidential Information of NetFlow Logic.
