Main Service Agreement
This MAIN SERVICE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Customer and Sigma Computing, Inc., a Delaware corporation with offices at 116 Montgomery St., #1500, San Francisco CA, 94105 (“Sigma”). For the purposes of this Agreement, “Customer” means the party identified as the customer in the applicable Order Form (as defined in Section 1.2 below). By executing an Order Form that references this Agreement, each party signifies that it has read, understands, and agrees to be bound by its terms. This Agreement governs all Order Forms, and any conflicting or additional terms and conditions are of no force or effect unless agreed to in a writing signed by both parties. In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. The Service.
1.1. Service Description. Sigma is the owner and provider of a cloud-based intelligence tool and service that is designed to allow customers to analyze data (the “Service”) within Customer’s own or a third-party controlled data warehouse (“Data Warehouse”). Any data within the Data Warehouse that is provided to Sigma in the course ofCustomer using the Service will be deemed “Customer Data.” Customer will not receive or have access to the code or software that underlies the Service (collectively the “Software”) or receive a copy of the Software itself.
1.2. Customer’s Subscription. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Customer may purchase a subscription to, and has the right to access and use, the Service as specified in one or more ordering documents executed by the parties (or Customer and a Reseller) that reference this Agreement and describe the business terms related toCustomer’s subscription (“Order Form(s)”). Sigma also grants Customer (including Authorized Users) a limited, non-sublicensable, non-transferable right and license to access, download, and use, solely for Customer’s internal business purposes, the technical documentation regarding the Service that Sigma publishes to all its customers(“Documentation”). All subscriptions will be for the period described on the applicable Order Form (“Subscription Period”). Use of and access to the Service is permitted only by individuals authorized by Customer and, except as specifically permitted otherwise in the Section 1.3 (Embedding) below, for Customer’s own internal business purposes and not for the benefit of any third party (“Authorized Users”). Customer may also permit its affiliates and their employees and contractors working for the benefit of Customer or such affiliates to serve as Authorized Users, provided Customer remains responsible for compliance by such individuals with all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. An “affiliate” of a party is any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with such party; where “control” means ownership of or the right to control greater than 50% of the voting securities of such entity.
1.3. Embedding. The Service may also be used to create dashboards that access and analyze Customer Data that are then embedded into Customer’s own proprietary services (“Dashboard(s)”) and accessed and used by Customer’s customers (“Customer’s End User(s)”) (collectively, Authorized Users and Customer’s End Users are “Users”). The feature within the Service that will allow the Customer to create Dashboards is the “Application Embedding Feature.” An applicable Order Form may state further limitations or features of the Application Embedding Feature that Customer and its Users may utilize, however, only Customer is permitted to integrate the Service with Customer’s own Data Warehouse(s). Customer Data will also include any data within the Data Warehouse that is provided to Customer by Customer’s End Users. Customer is also responsible for managing its and its Users’ access to the Service. Further, as Customer will maintain a direct relationship with Customer’s End Users, Customer agrees that it will only allow Customer’s End Users to access or use the Dashboards upon entering written terms with Customer’s End Users that are just as protective of Sigma as the terms of this Agreement. Customer understands and agrees that this Agreement does not create a resale relationship between the parties and as such Customer is not permitted to charge Users to access or use the Dashboards specifically; moreover, Dashboards may only be provided to Customer’s End Users as part of Customer’s proprietary services and may not be offered by Customer as a stand-alone product.
1.4. Support and Service Level Policy. Sigma will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide basic technical support for the Service (“Support Services”) in accordance with its support and service level policy, which is located at Sigma_Computing_Exhibit_A_May_2023.pdf (“Support and Service Level Policy”).
1.5. Provisioning. As part of the registration process, a single administrative User will receive login credentials from Sigma following execution of the applicable Order Form; such User will have the capability to invite any other Users to create accounts on the Service. Sigma may access Customer’s account solely (i) to respond to technical problems, (ii) to provide and maintain the Service, (iii) at Customer’s request, and (iv) to comply with legal or contractual requirements. Each User will be identified by unique subscription access rights (which are also known as login credentials); such login credentials may only be used by one individual and may not be shared among multiple individuals. Login credentials may only be reassigned to a new User replacing a person who no longer requires access to the Service. Customer will not reassign login credentials between Users so frequently that it enables a single subscription to be shared between multiple Users.
1.6. Use Restrictions and Responsibilities. Customer is responsible for all activity on its Users’ accounts unlesssuch activity is caused by a third party bad actor able to access Customer’s account by exploiting vulnerabilities in the Service itself. Customer will ensure that its Users are aware of and bound by obligations and/or restrictions stated in this Agreement and Customer will be responsible for breach of any such obligation and/or restriction by a User. Customer also agrees that it will not, and will not allow Users or third parties to, directly or indirectly (a) modify, translate, copy or create derivative works based on the Service, (b) reverse assemble, reverse compile, reverse engineer, decompile or otherwise attempt to discover the object code, source code, non-public APIs or underlying ideas or algorithms of the Service, except as and only to the extent this restriction is prohibited by law, (c) license, sublicense, sell, resell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute, time share or otherwise commercially exploit or make the Service available to any third party, other than as specifically permitted under Section 1.3 (Embedding) above, (d) remove or obscure any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notices, legends or Sigma branding contained in or on the Service, (e) use the Service in any way that violates any applicable federal, state, local or international law or regulation, including but not limited to CANSPAM, (f) attempt to gain unauthorized access to, interfere with, damage or disrupt any parts of the Service, including, without limitation, by introducing viruses and other harmful code or by using flood pings, denial-of-service attacks, or similar methods or technology, (g) use or access the Service to build or Csupport and/or assist a third party in building or supporting products or services competitive to the Service, (h) attempt to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service or any Sigma system or networks, or (i) use the Service to send messages that are hateful, libelous, obscene, harassing or otherwise violate federal, state, local or international law or regulation. If Customer (including Users) is using the Service in a manner that, in Sigma’s reasonable judgment, causes or is likely to cause significant harm to Sigma or the Service or otherwise threatens the security, integrity or availability of the Service then Sigma may suspend Customer’s access to the Service. Sigma will use commercially reasonable efforts under the circumstances of such suspension to (x) provide Customer with notice and an opportunity to remedy such violation or threat prior to any such suspension; (y) limit the suspension to only accounts involved in the activities in question; and (z) remove the suspension as quickly as practicable after the circumstances leading to the suspension have been resolved.
1.7. Sigma’s Ownership. Sigma owns the Service, including the Dashboards and Application Embedding Feature, and the Documentation (collectively the “Sigma Materials”). Sigma retains all right, title, and interest (including, without limitation, all patent, copyright, trademarks, trade secret and other intellectual property rights) in and to the Sigma Materials, all related and underlying technology and any updates, enhancements, upgrades, modifications, patches, workarounds, and fixes thereto and all derivative works of or modifications to any of the foregoing. There are no implied licenses under this Agreement and any rights not expressly granted to Customer in this Agreement are expressly reserved by Sigma. Customer’s ownership of the Customer Data is stated below in Section 6.2.
2. Third-Party Applications.
The Service may work together with third party products, services or applicationsthat are not owned or controlled by Sigma, (e.g., Customer’s Data Warehouse provider) (“Third-Party Applications”) and Customer, at its sole option, may choose to use such Third-Party Applications. If necessary for the Service and the Third-Party Application to work together, Customer will provide its login information to Sigma for the sole purpose of Sigma providing the Service to Customer and Customer represents and warrants that Customer has the right to provide such login information without breach by Customer of any of the terms and conditions that govern Customer’s use of the applicable Third-Party Application. Sigma does not endorse such Third-Party Applications. Customer acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement does not apply to Customer’s use of such Third-Party Applications and Customer be required by the providers of such Third-Party Applications to enter into separate agreements for Customer’s use. SIGMA EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES RELATING TO ANY THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS. CUSTOMER WILL LOOK SOLELY TO THE PROVIDERS OF THE THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS FOR ANY WARRANTY RELATED ISSUES OR OTHER CLAIMS RELATED THERETO. CUSTOMER’S USE OF THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS IS AT CUSTOMER’S OWN RISK. SIGMA WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR OTHER OBLIGATION OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS, INCLUDING ARISING FROM CUSTOMER’S USE OR INABILITY TO USE THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS.
3. Payment Obligations.
3.1. Fees. Customer will pay for access to and use of the Service as set forth on the applicable Order Form (“Fees”). All Fees will be paid in U.S. dollars. Payment obligations are non-cancelable and, except as expressly stated in this Agreement, non-refundable. Sigma may modify its Fees or introduce new fees, however, any new or revised fees will not take effect during Customer’s then-current Subscription Period and will only be effective if the parties choose to enter into an Order Form for a new Subscription Period. Customer always has the right to choose not tore new its subscription or enter into an Order Form for a new Subscription Period if it does not agree with any new or revised fees.
3.2. Payment. Sigma will invoice Customer for the Fees and any other applicable fees charged by third parties onCustomer’s payment (e.g. bank transfer fees that are) in accordance with the Order Form. Customer agrees to pay all invoices submitted in accordance with this Agreement within thirty (30) days after receipt of Sigma’s invoice, unless another time period is stated on the Order Form. All information that Customer provides in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction with the Service must be accurate, complete, and current. If Customer has executed an Order Form with a Reseller, Customer will pay such Reseller (and not Sigma) in accordance with the terms of such Order Form. Customer understands and agrees that if Customer does not pay the Reseller in accordance with the applicable Order Form, Sigma will have the right to suspend Customer’s right to use and access the Service and to terminate this Agreement upon notice to Customer. For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Reseller” means a resale partner that is authorized by Sigma to resell the Service.
3.3. Taxes. Fees stated on the Order Form are exclusive of any taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer will be responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases, except for those taxes based on Sigma’s net income.
3.4. Failure to Pay. If Customer fails to pay any undisputed invoices in accordance with this “Payment Obligations” section, Sigma may, provided that Sigma gives Customer written notice of such non-payment and ten(10) days from the date of such notice to remit the overdue, undisputed amounts in full: (a) suspend Customer’s access to the Service pending payment of such overdue invoices; and (b) charge a finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower. If Customer believes that Sigma has billed Customer incorrectly, Customer must contact Sigma no later than sixty (60) days after the closing date on the first billing statement in which the error or problem appeared, to receive an adjustment or credit. Once Sigma receives notice of a disputed invoice, Sigma will review such notice and provide Customer with a written decision regarding the dispute, including documentary support for such decision. If Sigma reasonably determines that the amounts charged on a disputed invoice are, in fact, due, Customer will pay such amounts within ten (10) days of Sigma notifying Customer in writing of such decision.
3.5. Adding Users. Users that are given administrative permission by Customer may add new Users at any timethrough the Service. Upon adding additional Authorized User(s), Sigma will contact Customer in writing to discussCustomer’s options. Customer will have thirty (30) days after receipt of Sigma’s written notice to Customer regarding the over-deployment to either (a) purchase a pro-rata subscription for such User(s) at the same price stated on the applicable, then-current Order Form by executing a new Order Form with Sigma, or (b) discontinue use of the over-deployed User seats. If, within such thirty (30) day period, Customer does not either execute a new Order Form for such additional Authorized Users or discontinue use of over-deployed Authorized User seats, Customer will be invoiced the current list price for those Users for the remainder of the then-current Subscription Period and be required to pay such invoices in accordance with this Agreement. As Sigma is a subscription services provider, the number of Users purchased under an Order Form cannot be decreased during the Subscription Period.

4.1. Agreement Term. Subscriptions to access and use the Service commence on the start date stated on the applicable Order Form (“Subscription Start Date”) and continue for the duration of the Subscription Period.

Sigma’s Confidential Information includes non-public information regarding features, functionality, and performance of the Service. Customer’s Confidential Information includes the User Information and Customer Data. This Agreement and the information in all Order Forms will be deemed the Confidential Information of both parties.

5.3. Compelled Access or Disclosure. The Receiving Party may access or disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if it is required by law; provided, however, that the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled access or disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at theDisclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the access or disclosure.
