  1. Data Collection and Transmission
    • . If the Software is being delivered to you by an entity you are affiliated with (such as an employer, etc.), then the exact nature of any information collected is determined by the entity that made the Software available to you and is available by request from that entity. If you acquired the Software directly from Ameritec IPS., then Ameritec IPS. will determine which information is collected and is available upon request from Ameritec IPS..The Software does not require any personally identifiable information from you, but it may collect information from the Authorized Device that is useful for the purpose of the Software and Cloud Application’s functionality, called “Device Data“. Device Data collected may include but is not limited to the following:
      • The manufacturer and model of your Authorized Device;

      • In some cases, metadata of all applications installed on your Authorized Device (including, but not limited to, the name of the app, the version of the app);
      • Metadata about networks your Authorized Device connects to (including, but not limited to, the SSID of the network, the MAC address of the network);
      • In certain circumstances, we may also collect a copy of the application;
      • Data from tracking tools used to analyze product performance on your Authorized Device; and
      • System monitoring data such as memory utilization, process metrics, network statistics (but no data like web pages or emails), and other non-user-identifiable type monitoring values.

The Software and Cloud Application may also collect “Forensic Data”, defined here as information about the attacker when and if such an attack occurs. When an attack occurs, Forensic Data collected may include but is not limited to the following:

  • The Device Data mentioned above at the time of the attack;
  • The device location data at the time of the attack;
  • The MAC address of the suspected attacker;
  • The application name, bundle ID, and version of the suspected malicious apps.

Device Data and Forensic Data together, are hereinafter referred to as “Data”. The exact nature of any Data collected is determined by the entity that made the Software available to you.

  1. You consent to our collection, transmission, storage, monitoring, copying, processing, analysis and use of the Data to administer the Cloud Application, to develop and improve the Software and Cloud Application and our other products and services, and to monitor compliance with these Terms.

  1. Contacting You

As part of making the Cloud Application available to you, we may need to provide you with certain communications, such as service announcements and administrative messages. These communications are considered part of the Cloud Application, which you may not be able to opt- out from receiving.

  1. Third-Party Software

The Software and/or Cloud Application may be accompanied by or utilize certain third-party software components, libraries or applications that are distributed (with or without modifications) under open-source licensing terms (the “Open-Source Components”). Your rights with respect to the Open-Source Components are, to the extent of any conflict with these Terms, governed by and subject to the terms of the open-source licenses under which they are distributed. You are responsible for complying with those licenses. Please refer to our website for more specific information regarding the Open-Source Components that we redistribute and the licenses that apply to them. You may not assume or infer that we endorse, or that we have reviewed, verified, or authenticated, any Open-Source Components or other third-party software that may be furnished with, available through, or used in connection with the Software or Cloud Application. Open- Source Components and any other third-party software, and the information or results provided by them, may be unreliable, inaccurate, incomplete, delayed, or otherwise defective. We make no representations, warranties, or guarantees in connection with any third-party software or the information or results provided by it. You acknowledge sole responsibility for and assume all risk arising from your use of or reliance on any third-party software.

  • Verification and Audit

We may (but are not required to) monitor the use of the Software and Cloud Application, including by tracking the device IDs and license keys associated with the Authorized Devices on which the Software is used, for purposes of verifying compliance with these Terms. In addition, you agree to track and keep records of the individual users and Authorized Device(s) using the Software and promptly notify us if you learn of any unlicensed use. At our written request, you will provide us with a certification signed by you (or, if you are an organization, by an officer of the organization) verifying that the Software and Cloud Application are being used in compliance with these Terms. We may, at any time during the term of your license or for one year thereafter, upon reasonable written notice, audit your use of the Software. We may use a third-party organization to assist us in conducting such an audit. You agree to cooperate with us in such audit and will promptly make available to us all information, equipment and materials reasonably required by us to conduct such an audit. If an audit reveals that you have underpaid any license or service fees for the period audited, you agree to promptly pay us for such underpaid fees based on our price list in effect at the time the audit is completed. If the underpaid fees exceed five percent (5%) of the fees you paid for the relevant period, then you also agree to pay our reasonable costs of conducting the audit.

  • Termination

Your rights under these Terms will expire at the end of the period(s) for which you have acquired a valid license key from us for the Software. The Software may cease to function once the license key has expired. Any license renewals or extensions will be subject to availability and your payment of all applicable fees as then in effect. We have no obligation to offer license renewals or extensions, and we may condition renewals upon your acceptance of revised or new terms and conditions.
