Garden Avenue, Suite 1200, Clearwater, Florida 33755, and its affiliates (“KnowBe4”), and legal entity on whose behalf the “I ACCEPT” button has been clicked (“Customer”). Customer and KnowBe4 may be referred to in this Agreement individually as a “party” or jointly as the “parties.” This Agreement governs all Products and Services, as defined below, provided by KnowBe4 to Customer.
  1. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:
“AD” means Active Directory. AD is a directory service (similar to a database) that a network administrator uses to control network security. A server running AD is called a domain controller. AD authenticates and authorizes all users, computers and software in a Windows network—assigning and enforcing security policies for all computers and installing or updating software.
“Affiliate” means an entity that directly, or indirectly through one or more entities, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the specified entity.
“Confidential Information” means all information or material which (i) gives a party some competitive business advantage, gives a party the opportunity of obtaining some competitive business advantage, or the disclosure of which could be detrimental to the interests of a party; and (ii) which is either (a) marked “Confidential,” “Restricted,” or “Proprietary Information” or other similar marking, (b) known by the parties to be considered confidential and proprietary or (c) from all the relevant circumstances should reasonably be assumed to be confidential and proprietary. The Documentation and Products are deemed the Confidential Information of KnowBe4.
“Documentation” means KnowBe4’s then current generally available documentation, specifications, user manuals, etc. for the Products and Services, located at https://knowbe4.zendesk.com/hc/en-us or such other URL as KnowBe4 may provide from time to time.
“Lightweight Directory Access Protocol” or “LDAP”. In the instance that the Customer uses its own software to communicate with Active Directory, Customer will need to use LDAP. KnowBe4 communicates with the Customer’s AD using LDAP to synchronize changes in new users with the database of users. The Customer will need to install and configure the AD Sync component.
“LMS” means a Learning Management System. LMS is software for the administration, documentation, tracking, reporting and delivery of e-learning education courses or training programs. Organizations can have their own LMS in-house or use a cloud-based LMS that Knowbe4 provides.
“Phish Alert Button” or “PAB.” The PAB is an add-in button which the Customer’s Users can add/download to their email toolbar. This element of the software is included as a part of the Products. The button is intended to provide a safe way to forward email threats to a security team for analysis and deletes the emails from a user’s inbox to prevent exposure. The Customer can choose to have the emails directed to their own security team, or to both their security team and KnowBe4 for analysis.
“Product Support” means any maintenance and support of any Products provided by KnowBe4 including the support described in Exhibit A.
“Products” means any Software, Services, and/or Web Services that KnowBe4 offers to Customer, including any Documentation.
“Purchase Order” means a purchase order, a quote issued by KnowBe4 or other similar document or communication from Customer to KnowBe4 delivered in connection with a sales quote or a statement of work.
“Seats” refers to the amount of Users granted access to the Products at any given time. Seats in the context of this Agreement will only apply to “Active Users”. If a User de-activates their account, it opens a Seat up for another User.
 
KnowBe4 retains information within the Cloud-based Software for de-activated User accounts so to preserve the account if re-activated by the User.
“Services” means any professional services, including implementation and installation services agreed upon by the parties and set forth in a Purchase Order or any Product Support purchased pursuant to an Order.
“Software” means the object code version of any software that may be licensed by KnowBe4 to Customer under a Purchase Order for installation on Customer’s systems. To the extent KnowBe4 delivers any updates or enhancements to Customer as part of Product Support, such updates and enhancements will be deemed included in the definition of “Software.”
“Users” means any of Customer’s employees, customers or other third Parties the Customer gives access to the Products.
“Web Service” means an application and/or database product hosted by KnowBe4 or its agents and made available for remote access and use by Customer under a Purchase Order.
“Privacy Policy”. KnowBe4’s Privacy Policy can be found at https://www.knowbe4.com/privacy-policy/ or such other URL locations which can be found on KnowB4’s website as KnowBe4 may provide from time to time.

KnowBe4 will defend and indemnify Customer from any and all claims, losses, deficiencies, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees) finally awarded against Customer, as approved via a court-approved settlement, or via binding mediation or arbitration arising from a claim by a third party that Customer’s authorized use of a Product infringes that third party’s United States patent, copyright, or trade secret rights. The foregoing indemnification obligation of KnowBe4 is contingent upon Customer promptly notifying KnowBe4 in writing of such claim (provided the failure or delay in doing so shall not relieve KnowBe4 from any obligations to indemnify Customer except to the extent that such delay or failure materially prejudices the defense of such claim), permitting KnowBe4 sole authority to control the defense or settlement of such claim and providing KnowBe4 reasonable assistance (at KnowBe4’s sole expense) in connection therewith. If a claim of infringement under this Section occurs, or if KnowBe4 determines a claim is likely to occur, KnowBe4 will have the right, in its sole discretion, to either (i) procure for Customer the right or license to continue to use the Products free of the infringement claim, or (ii) modify the Products to make them non-infringing, without loss of material functionality.

The provisions of this Section state the sole and exclusive obligations and liability of KnowBe4 and its licensors and suppliers for any claim of intellectual property infringement arising out of or relating to the Products or this Agreement, and are in lieu of any implied warranties of non-infringement, all of which are expressly disclaimed.
    2. 11.2.Customer Indemnity Obligations. Customer will defend and indemnify KnowBe4 and hold it harmless from any and all claims, losses, deficiencies, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by KnowBe4 as a result of any claim by a third party arising from (i) Customer’s use of the Products in breach of this Agreement, (ii) KnowBe4’s authorized use of the Customer Data, or (iii) the Excluded Claims. The foregoing indemnification obligation of Customer is contingent upon KnowBe4 promptly notifying Customer in writing of such claim (provided the failure or delay in doing so shall not relieve Customer from any obligations to indemnify KnowBe4 except to the extent that such delay or failure materially prejudices the defense of such claim), permitting Customer sole authority to control the defense or settlement of such claim, provided that Customer may not settle any such claim unless it unconditionally releases KnowBe4 of all liability, and providing Customer reasonable assistance (at Customer’s sole expense) in connection therewith.
  2. Limitations of Liability.
