Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, SonicWall grants to Customer, and Customer accepts from SonicWall, a nonexclusive, non-transferable (except as otherwise set forth herein) and non-sublicensable license (“License”) to access and use the Hosted Service in accordance with its Documentation.
  2. Limitations. The License to the Hosted Service is limited to use by no more than the number of Individual Users, and only during the subscription period(s) (“Term(s)”), as sold to Customer and as indicated in the ordering and sales documentation from SonicWall or Reseller. “Individual User” means an individual in the employ of Customer or engaged in Customer’s internal business, and who receives and sends emails through Customer’s email system(s).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Customer is in the regular business of providing email security management for a fee to entities that are not its Affiliates (“MSP Customers”), Customer may use the Hosted Service for its MSP Customers provided that this Agreement must be provided to MSP Customers and they must agree that their use of the Hosted Service is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Customer agrees to indemnify and hold SonicWall harmless from and against any claims by MSP Customers against SonicWall relating to the Hosted Service. “Affiliate” means any legal entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with a party to this Agreement, but only for so long as such control relationship exists.
  4. Evaluation Use. If the Hosted Service is provided by SonicWall or a Reseller at no charge for evaluation purposes, then Section 1(a) above shall not apply and instead Customer is granted a non-production License to use Hosted Service and the associated Documentation solely for Customer’s own internal evaluation purposes for an evaluation period of up to thirty (30) days from the date of access to the Hosted Service, plus any extensions granted by SonicWall in writing (the "Evaluation Period"). There is no fee for Customer’s use of the Hosted Service for nonproduction evaluation purposes during the Evaluation Period. Notwithstanding anything otherwise set forth in this Agreement, Customer understands and agrees that the Hosted Service if provided for evaluation is provided “AS IS” and that SonicWall does not provide a warranty or maintenance services for evaluation Licenses.

SonicWall may take appropriate action to prohibit any use of the Hosted Service that it believes may be (or that is alleged to be) in violation of the foregoing. Customer may not (vii) modify, translate, localize, adapt, rent, lease, loan, create or prepare derivative works of, or create a patent based on the Hosted Service or any part thereof, (viii) modify or resell the Hosted Service, or (ix) except as expressly authorized in Section 1(c) above, use the Hosted Service in any time-sharing, outsourcing, service bureau or application service provider type environment.
  6. Content. Customer shall be solely responsible for all content that Customer uploads, posts, emails, transmits, or otherwise disseminates using, or in connection with, the Hosted Service. Customer acknowledges that Customer’s accessing of content using the Hosted Service is solely at Customer’s own risk and that SonicWall will not be liable for any damage to any person or entity resulting therefrom.
  7. Withholding, Storing and Accessing Withheld Mail. The Hosted Service provides for configuration settings that enable the Customer administrator, based on certain criteria, to withhold and store, deliver or delete emails that the Hosted Service judges as either spam, a phishing email, an email containing a virus or an email that is or contains some other form of malware as set forth in the Documentation. Any stored emails (“Withheld Emails”) will be stored for a limited period of time as described in the then current Documentation (“Holding Period”), and thereafter will be inaccessible by the Customer. Customer acknowledges and agrees, if it desires to review, delete or mark for delivery any Withheld Email, it must do so within the Holding Period.
  8. Equipment and Security. Customer shall be solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining all applicable configuration settings as set forth in the Hosted Service documentation or SonicWall's published policies then in effect. Customer shall be solely responsible for maintaining the security of its equipment and software, including, but not limited to, Customer’s account concerning the Hosted Service passwords (including, but not limited to, administrative and other passwords).
