Terms of Service

Table of Contents

Introduction

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the products, services, and websites (collectively, the “Services”) provided by Metawise Consulting LLC (“Metawise”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) through our 365TUNE platform. By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you may not access or use the Services.

Please read these Terms carefully before using the Services. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” and “your” will refer to that organization.

Account Registration and Access

Account Creation

To access certain features you must register for an account. When registering, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information about yourself and your organization. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for all activity under your account.

Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for restricting access to your account. You must notify us immediately on becoming aware of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account.

Authorized Users

If you are an organization with multiple users, you are responsible for ensuring that all users comply with these Terms. You may permit authorized users to access and use the Services provided you ensure each of them complies.

License and Service Usage

License Grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and any applicable subscription or order form, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Services during the applicable subscription term for your internal business purposes.

Usage Restrictions

You agree not to, and will not permit others to:

  • License, sell, rent, lease, assign, distribute, transmit, host, outsource, disclose, or otherwise commercially exploit the Services
  • Modify, make derivative works of, disassemble, reverse compile, or reverse engineer any part of the Services
  • Access the Services in order to build a similar or competitive product or service
  • Copy, reproduce, distribute, republish, download, display, post, or transmit the Services in any form or by any means
  • Remove or alter any proprietary notices or labels on the Services
  • Use the Services to store or transmit infringing, libelous, or otherwise unlawful or tortious material
  • Use the Services to transmit malware, viruses, or other harmful computer code
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Services
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services or related systems or networks

Service Modifications

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Services, or any part of them, at any time, with or without notice to you. We will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Services.

Free, Trial, and Beta Services

From time to time we may make Services available to you at no charge, including trials, evaluations, proofs of concept, pilots, beta programmes, and free or discounted beta subscriptions (collectively, “Free Services”).

Free Services are provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE”, without warranty, representation, or condition of any kind, and without any service level, support, or availability commitment. The warranties set out in “Our Warranties” do not apply to Free Services.

We may modify, suspend, limit, or discontinue Free Services, or terminate your access to them, at any time and for any reason, with or without notice.

You are responsible for exporting any data you wish to retain before Free Services end. On expiry or termination of Free Services, we may delete data associated with them in accordance with the Data Processing Agreement.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we will have no liability arising out of or related to Free Services, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise. Where such exclusion is not permitted, our total aggregate liability arising out of or related to Free Services will not exceed one hundred United States dollars (US$100).

Our obligations under the Data Processing Agreement, including those relating to permitted use of your data, personnel confidentiality, security measures, and deletion, apply in full to Free Services whether or not fees are paid.

Microsoft 365 Integration

Authorization

The Services are designed to integrate with Microsoft 365. By using the Services with your Microsoft 365 environment, you authorize us to access and interact with your Microsoft 365 tenant and related data as necessary to provide the Services.

Microsoft Terms

Your use of Microsoft 365 is governed by your agreement with Microsoft. We are not responsible for any changes, restrictions, or discontinuation of Microsoft 365 services or APIs that may affect the Services. It is your sole responsibility to review your Microsoft agreements and ensure compliance with all applicable terms while using the 365TUNE platform. If you determine that your use would be non-compliant, you must not use the platform or its services.

API Usage

You acknowledge that the Services use Microsoft APIs and that continued functionality depends on Microsoft maintaining those APIs. We will make reasonable efforts to adapt to changes in Microsoft’s APIs, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted service if Microsoft makes significant changes to them.

Your Data

Your Data Definition

“Your Data” means any data, content, or information submitted by you or your authorized users to the Services, including data from your Microsoft 365 environment that we access with your permission.

Ownership of Your Data

You retain all right, title, and interest in and to Your Data. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, copy, transmit, display, and process Your Data as necessary to provide the Services to you and as otherwise permitted by our Privacy Policy and the Data Processing Agreement.

Protection of Your Data

We will maintain appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality, and integrity of Your Data. We will not access, use, or disclose Your Data except as provided in these Terms, the Data Processing Agreement, our Privacy Policy, or as expressly authorized by you.

Data Backup

While we implement reasonable data backup procedures, you acknowledge that you are responsible for maintaining backups of Your Data. We recommend that you maintain your own backup of all data you consider critical.

Fees and Payment

Fees

You agree to pay all fees specified in the applicable order forms or subscription plans. Except as otherwise specified in these Terms or an order form:

  • Fees are based on Services purchased and not on actual usage
  • Payment obligations are non-cancelable, and fees paid are non-refundable
  • Quantities purchased cannot be decreased during the relevant subscription term

Payment Terms

All fees must be paid in advance or as otherwise specified in the applicable order form. You are responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information and for notifying us of any changes.

Taxes

Unless otherwise stated, our fees do not include taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including value-added, sales, use, or withholding taxes (“Taxes”). You are responsible for paying all Taxes associated with your purchases under these Terms.

Subscription Renewal

Unless otherwise specified in an order form, subscriptions will automatically renew for additional periods equal to the expiring subscription term or one year, whichever is shorter, unless either party gives notice of non-renewal at least 30 days before the end of the relevant term.

Suspension of Service

If any amount owed by you is 30 or more days overdue, we may, without limiting our other rights and remedies, suspend your access to the Services until such amounts are paid in full.

Intellectual Property Rights

Ownership of Services

Except for the limited license granted to you, we retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Services, including all related intellectual property rights. No rights are granted to you other than as expressly set out in these Terms.

Feedback

If you provide us with suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations, corrections, or other feedback (“Feedback”), you grant us a royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, sublicensable, irrevocable, perpetual license to use, modify, and distribute that Feedback in connection with our products and services.

Usage Data

We may collect and analyze data relating to your use of the Services in an aggregated and irreversibly anonymized form (“Usage Data”). Usage Data does not identify, and cannot reasonably be used to identify, you, your personnel, your end users, or your Microsoft 365 tenant. We own all Usage Data and may use it for lawful business purposes, including to secure, support, and improve the Services, to develop new products and services, and for benchmarking and threat intelligence.

We will not attempt to re-identify Usage Data, will not disclose Usage Data in a manner that identifies you as its source, and will require any recipient of Usage Data to observe the same restrictions.

We do not use Your Data, or Usage Data derived from it, to train, fine-tune, or otherwise develop any generative artificial intelligence or large language model. Where the Data Processing Agreement imposes stricter limits on the use of data derived from personal data, those limits control.

Confidentiality

Confidential Information

The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind, but not less than reasonable care, to:

  • Not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of these Terms
  • Limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its employees, contractors, and agents who need such access for purposes consistent with these Terms and who have signed confidentiality agreements containing protections no less stringent than those in these Terms

Exclusions

Confidential Information excludes information that:

  • Is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party
  • Was known to the Receiving Party before disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party
  • Is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party
  • Was independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information

Compelled Disclosure

The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law, provided it gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure to the extent legally permitted, and reasonable assistance at the Disclosing Party’s cost if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure.

Representations and Warranties

Mutual Representations and Warranties

Each party represents and warrants that:

  • It has the legal power and authority to enter into these Terms
  • These Terms constitute a valid and binding obligation of such party
  • It will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in performing its obligations under these Terms

Our Warranties

We warrant that:

  • We will provide the Services in a professional manner consistent with general industry standards
  • The Services will perform materially in accordance with the applicable documentation
  • We will not knowingly introduce malicious code into the Services

Disclaimer of Warranties

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE FROM HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT THE CONTENT PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICES WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE.

Platform Output and No Assurance of Compliance

Findings, scores, control results, benchmark assessments, dashboards, reports, and recommendations generated by the Services (“Output”) are derived from data made available by Microsoft and other third-party interfaces at the time of collection, and are provided for your internal informational use.

We do not warrant that Output is complete, accurate, error-free, or current. We do not certify, attest to, audit, or determine your compliance with any law, regulation, standard, framework, benchmark, or contractual obligation. Output is not legal, regulatory, audit, or professional security advice, and is not a substitute for independent assessment by a qualified professional.

You are solely responsible for your own compliance and for any decision, representation, certification, or disclosure you make in reliance on Output, including to your own customers, auditors, insurers, or regulators.

The Services depend on third-party services, including the Microsoft Graph API. We are not responsible for the unavailability of, changes to, deprecation of, or inaccuracy in data supplied by those services, or for any consequence arising from them.

Limitation of Liability

Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY’S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU FOR THE SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM. THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY WHETHER AN ACTION IS IN CONTRACT OR TORT AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY.

Exclusion of Consequential Damages

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF DATA, COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, OR OTHER LOSSES, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Exceptions

The limitation set out in “Limitation of Liability” will not apply to liability arising from:

  • Your payment obligations
  • Your breach of the license restrictions or usage limitations
  • Your infringement of our intellectual property rights
  • Either party’s indemnification obligations
  • Liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law

For the avoidance of doubt, either party’s liability for breach of its confidentiality obligations, and our liability for the processing of personal data under the Data Processing Agreement, is subject to the limitation set out in “Limitation of Liability” and is aggregate with all other claims under it.

All limitations in these Terms are aggregate across these Terms, the Data Processing Agreement, and any non-disclosure agreement between the parties, and do not stack. Liability under any one of those documents counts against, and is not additional to, the limitations in the others.

Indemnification

Indemnification by Us

We will defend you against any claim, demand, suit, or proceeding brought against you by a third party alleging that use of the Services in accordance with these Terms infringes or misappropriates that third party’s intellectual property rights (an “Infringement Claim”), and will indemnify you from damages, attorney fees, and costs finally awarded against you as a result, or paid by you under a court-approved settlement, provided that you:

  • Promptly give us written notice of the Infringement Claim
  • Give us sole control of the defense and settlement of the Infringement Claim
  • Provide us with all reasonable assistance, at our expense

Indemnification by You

You will defend us against any claim, demand, suit, or proceeding brought against us by a third party alleging that Your Data, or your use of the Services in breach of these Terms, infringes or misappropriates that third party’s intellectual property rights or violates applicable law (a “Claim Against Us”), and will indemnify us from damages, attorney fees, and costs finally awarded against us as a result, or paid by us under a court-approved settlement, provided that we:

  • Promptly give you written notice of the Claim Against Us
  • Give you sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim Against Us
  • Provide you with all reasonable assistance, at your expense

Term and Termination

Term

These Terms commence on the date you first accept them or access the Services, whichever is earlier, and continue until all subscriptions have expired or been terminated.

Subscription Term

Termination for Cause

Either party may terminate these Terms and any subscription for cause:

  • On 30 days’ written notice to the other party of a material breach, if the breach remains uncured at the end of that period
  • Immediately on written notice if the other party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation, or assignment for the benefit of creditors

Effect of Termination

  • You will promptly return or destroy all Confidential Information in your possession or control
  • We may disable your access to the Services, and will delete Your Data in accordance with the Data Processing Agreement

Survival

The sections titled “Intellectual Property Rights”, “Confidentiality”, “Disclaimer of Warranties”, “Platform Output and No Assurance of Compliance”, “Limitation of Liability”, “Indemnification”, “Effect of Termination”, “Survival”, and “General Provisions” survive any termination or expiration of these Terms.

General Provisions

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Dispute Resolution

Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services will be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of Texas, in each case located in the city of Austin, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts.

Notices

All notices under these Terms will be in writing and deemed duly given when received if personally delivered; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by email; the day after sending, if sent for next day delivery by a recognized overnight delivery service; or on receipt, if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Notices to us should be sent to Metawise Consulting LLC, attention: Legal Department, with a copy to legal@365tune.com.

Data Processing Agreement

Where we process personal data on your behalf in providing the Services, that processing is governed by our Data Processing Agreement, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. In the event of a conflict, the order of precedence is: the Standard Contractual Clauses where they apply, then the Data Processing Agreement, then these Terms.

Confidentiality obligations in any non-disclosure agreement between the parties apply in addition to, and not in place of, these Terms and the Data Processing Agreement.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Data Processing Agreement, any order forms, and other documents incorporated herein by reference, constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals, or representations, written or oral, concerning that subject matter.

Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights or obligations under them, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Any attempted assignment in violation of the foregoing is void. We may assign these Terms in their entirety, without your consent, to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.

Relationship of the Parties

The parties are independent contractors. These Terms do not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary, or employment relationship.

No Third-Party Beneficiaries

There are no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms.

Waiver

No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under these Terms constitutes a waiver of that right. No waiver is effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the party granting it.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the provision will be modified by the court and interpreted so as best to accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

Force Majeure

Neither party will be liable for any failure or delay in performance due in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, to any contingency, delay, failure, or cause beyond its reasonable control, including fire, flood, epidemic, pandemic, earthquake, storm, natural disaster, act of God, accident, compliance with any law, regulation, or order, act of war, act of public enemy, act of terrorism, riot, rebellion, insurrection, sabotage, embargo, strike, labor disturbance, power failure, equipment failure, interruption of transportation, third-party non-performance, or any similar cause.

Export Compliance

The Services may be subject to export laws and regulations of the United States and other jurisdictions. You represent that you are not named on any U.S. government denied-party list. You will not use or export the Services in violation of any U.S. export law or regulation.

U.S. Government End Users

The Services are commercial computer software as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 2.101. If acquired by or on behalf of any agency of the U.S. Government, the Government acquires this software and documentation subject to these Terms.

Updates to These Terms

We may update or modify these Terms from time to time by posting a revised version on our website or by otherwise notifying you. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of an update constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
