IF CUSTOMER DOES NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS BELOW, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE HARDWARE. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE HARDWARE, CUSTOMER AGREES TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT IT IS LEGALLY BOUND BY ITS TERMS. THE PERSON ACCEPTING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF CUSTOMER REPRESENTS THAT HE OR SHE (1) HAS FULL AUTHORITY TO BIND CUSTOMER TO THIS AGREEMENT; AND (2) HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS ALL THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ELECTRONIC ACCEPTANCE OR BY ACCESSING AND USING THE HARDWARE, CUSTOMER IS CONSENTING TO THE ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AND SIGNATURE OF DOCUMENTS, AND AGREES THAT SUCH ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL BE BINDING TO THE SAME EXTENT AS ORIGINAL SIGNATURES.
The following Limited Hardware Warranty and Support Agreement (“Warranty”) applies to Tanium Hardware products (i) sold by Tanium or a Tanium authorized partner (“Reseller”) and (ii) purchased by the end user customer (“Customer”) for its own use. “Tanium” means the Tanium entity listed or identified on the current approved Tanium-provided quote issued for the Hardware and Hardware Support Services (the “Quote”), or otherwise communicated to the Customer by Tanium. This Warranty exclusively governs Tanium’s provision of the Hardware and Hardware Support Services unless Customer has a separately executed hardware agreement with Tanium (“Hardware Agreement”), in which case the Hardware Agreement will govern. Tanium and Customer may be referred to collectively as the “parties” or individually as “party.”
1. Definition(s).
“Hardware” means the Tanium appliance purchased from Tanium or a Reseller.
“Hardware Support Services” means the support services for the Hardware provided in accordance with this Warranty.
“Hardware Support Services Term” means the term and type of Hardware Support Services purchased by Customer.
“Unit” means a single instance of the Hardware.
2. Fees and Payment; Taxes.
2.1 Customer will pay Tanium or a Reseller for the Hardware and Hardware Support Services in the amount(s) set forth in the applicable Quote. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, unless otherwise specified in the Quote, in the event Customer orders the Hardware and/or Hardware Support Services directly from Tanium, Tanium shall invoice Customer on the Order Date and Customer shall pay Tanium Net thirty (30) days from the invoice date. Order Date is defined as the date Tanium accepts and processes all of Customer’s required order documents in accordance with all mutually agreed upon terms and conditions of such order documents (the “Order Date”). Customer will pay Tanium in accordance with this Warranty and the relevant Quote. Customer’s purchase order must reference the Quote and this Warranty. Customer’s purchase order will not modify this Warranty. Except for Tanium’s uncured material breach of this Warranty, Customer will not terminate this Warranty or the Hardware and Hardware Support Services acquired hereunder.
Unless otherwise set forth in the Quote, the Hardware Support Services Term will commence upon the Order Date and continue for the duration of the Hardware Support Services Term, and any renewal Hardware Support Services Term purchased by Customer will commence immediately following expiration of the initial Hardware Support Services Term.
2.2 Unless otherwise specified in the Quote, all amounts to be paid by Customer are due and payable thirty (30) days after Customer’s receipt of an invoice. All payments not made by Customer when due will be subject to late charges of the lesser of (i) one percent (1%) per month of the overdue amount or (ii) the maximum amount permitted under applicable law. Customer shall pay all court costs, fees, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Tanium in collecting delinquent fees.
2.3 All amounts payable by Customer to Tanium under this Warranty are exclusive of any taxes, levies, or duties, of any nature, that may be assessed by any jurisdiction (collectively “Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes including sales, use, excise, import or export values or fees, stamp duties, foreign withholding (if applicable to paying jurisdiction), value-added, personal property, or any other tax resulting from the delivery, possession, or use of the Hardware or Hardware Support Services. Taxes do not include any taxes payable by Tanium for its employees or for its net income.
In conjunction with the billing, collection and payment of any Taxes, Customer must provide Tanium with a physical address for the Hardware. This address will be used as the “shipped to address” on all invoices. Customer will pay all Taxes relating to, or under this Warranty, unless Customer is exempt from the payment of such Taxes and provides Tanium with evidence of valid exemption certificate(s). If its tax status changes, Customer must notify Tanium in writing (email is sufficient) at least 30 days in advance of Customer’s next billing cycle. If Tanium becomes entitled to a refund or credit of Taxes previously paid by Customer pursuant to this Section, any such refunded or credited amounts (including any interest received thereon) shall be promptly granted as a credit memo against Customer’s account or, upon Customer’s request, paid over to Customer. Unless Customer and Tanium agree otherwise, Customer will make no deduction from any amounts owed to Tanium for any un-invoiced taxes of any type. Subject to applicable laws, Tanium will cooperate with Customer to reduce the amount of applicable withholding taxes and Customer will not take any action that is prejudicial to obtaining an available tax exemption by Tanium. Upon Customer’s written request, Tanium will provide Customer with written proof that it has made all registrations and reports required for these tax payments. If Tanium claims a tax exemption that may affect any obligations of Customer, Tanium will disclose this exemption to Customer on a timely basis and provide Customer with all exemption documentation requested by Customer. If Customer is required to withhold amounts from any payments due to Tanium hereunder as prescribed by applicable law, Customer will make such withholding, remit such amounts to the appropriate taxing authorities. Customer agrees to increase the amount payable as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings, Tanium receives and retains (free from any Tax liability) an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. Customer will indemnify Tanium from and against any disputed taxes, including interest and penalties, on the Hardware or Hardware Support Services, by the taxing authorities. If the taxation of the item(s) is disputed by the taxing authorities, Tanium will notify Customer, if practical, to work with Customer and the taxing authorities to minimize any potential deficiencies.

If Customer desires to obtain hardware services directly from a third party, such hardware services are solely subject to the terms and conditions between Customer and the third party it selected to perform the hardware services, and Tanium shall have no obligation with respect to such hardware services. Tanium’s suppliers will be deemed to be third party beneficiaries of this Warranty.

Without limiting the foregoing, Customer agrees that it will not export, re-export, re-transfer the Hardware or Hardware Support Services in contravention of the foregoing, or provide the Hardware or Hardware Support Services to any person, in any jurisdiction, or to any user that would create a licensing requirement under U.S. Export control and economic sanctions laws, regulations and requirements without first obtaining any such license.

This Warranty shall not be modified, amended or in any way altered except by an instrument in writing signed by authorized representatives of both parties. In the event any provision of this Warranty is found invalid or unenforceable pursuant to judicial decree, the remainder of this Warranty shall remain valid and enforceable according to its terms. Any failure by Tanium to strictly enforce any provision of this Warranty will not operate as a waiver of that provision or any subsequent breach of that provision.
