2.3 Customer Licensing

Customer shall obtain and continuously maintain all Microsoft subscriptions, licenses, add-ons and other third-party licensing required for TetherView to provide the Services.

TetherView has no responsibility for deficiencies in Services caused by Customer’s failure to maintain appropriate licensing.

3. SHARED RESPONSIBILITY

Customer acknowledges that Digital Bunker 365 is a shared-responsibility service.

TetherView is responsible only for the specific Digital Bunker 365 responsibilities expressly identified in the applicable Service Agreement.

Everything not expressly assigned to TetherView remains the responsibility of Customer.

4. CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES

Customer is solely responsible for, among other things:

4.1 Endpoints and Physical Devices

TetherView is not responsible for the management, operation, monitoring, configuration, maintenance, patching, protection or security of Customer endpoints or physical devices, including:

Unless expressly included in a separate written agreement, Digital Bunker 365 does not include endpoint detection and response, endpoint patching, endpoint antivirus, mobile device management, endpoint support, local network administration or physical security.

A compromise originating from an endpoint or physical device shall not constitute a failure of Digital Bunker 365.

4.2 Tier 1 Support

TetherView does not provide Tier 1 end-user support as part of Digital Bunker 365.

Customer shall maintain its own help desk, managed service provider or qualified personnel to receive and triage end-user requests.

TetherView is not obligated to respond directly to Customer’s end users.

Requests must be submitted by Customer personnel authorized in accordance with TetherView’s service protocol.

4.3 Business Applications

Except for Microsoft 365 applications specifically included in the Service Agreement, Customer is solely responsible for:

4.4 User Administration

Customer is solely responsible for determining:

TetherView may implement Customer-approved access decisions but shall not be responsible for determining whether a particular individual should or should not have access to Customer information.

4.5 Accuracy of Information

Customer shall provide timely, complete and accurate information required by TetherView.

TetherView may rely upon information, approvals and instructions provided by Customer’s authorized personnel without independently investigating their accuracy.

5. ADMINISTRATIVE ACCESS AND CREDENTIALS

Customer shall provide TetherView with the administrative access reasonably required to provide the Services.

Customer shall maintain appropriate controls over all accounts and credentials not exclusively controlled by TetherView.

Customer is responsible for:

TetherView is not responsible for an incident arising from stolen, shared, disclosed, improperly used or compromised Customer credentials except to the extent directly caused by TetherView’s own unauthorized disclosure of credentials under its exclusive control.

6. INSIDERS AND AUTHORIZED USERS

TetherView shall not be responsible for any malicious, negligent, unauthorized or improper act committed by:

This exclusion applies whether the individual was acting maliciously, negligently, mistakenly, fraudulently or outside the scope of his or her authority.

TetherView has no obligation to determine the intent of a properly authenticated user unless specifically included in the Services.

7. CUSTOMER CHANGES AND CO-MANAGED ENVIRONMENTS

7.1 Unauthorized Changes

Customer shall not change, disable, circumvent, override or materially modify a Digital Bunker 365 configuration, policy, security setting or administrative control without coordinating the change with TetherView.

7.2 Co-Management

If Customer, Customer’s MSP, Customer’s IT personnel, a consultant or any other third party retains administrative access to Customer’s Microsoft 365 environment, Customer assumes the risks associated with such co-management.

TetherView shall have no liability for any security event, outage, compliance deficiency, data loss, access issue or other damage resulting from or contributed to by a configuration, instruction or modification made by anyone other than TetherView.

7.3 Conflicting Advice

Customer acknowledges that Internet research, artificial intelligence tools, generative AI systems, Microsoft forums, third-party consultants and other sources may recommend configurations that conflict with the architecture implemented by TetherView.

Customer shall not implement a conflicting recommendation without first submitting the proposed change to TetherView.

If Customer implements or directs TetherView to implement a configuration contrary to TetherView’s recommendation, Customer assumes all risks associated with that decision.

7.4 Customer Override

If TetherView identifies a security or compliance recommendation and Customer:

then Customer accepts all risks associated with that decision and releases TetherView from liability arising from or relating to that decision.

TetherView may document such exception in writing but is not required to do so for this Section to apply.

8. CYBERATTACKS, CRIMINAL ACTIVITY AND THREAT ACTORS

Customer acknowledges that Digital Bunker 365 cannot guarantee protection against intentional criminal activity or sophisticated cyberattack.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, TetherView shall not be liable for damages caused by or arising from:

The occurrence of a successful cyberattack does not, standing alone, establish negligence, breach of contract or failure by TetherView to perform the Services.

9. SECURITY RECOMMENDATIONS

Customer shall reasonably cooperate with TetherView and promptly respond to requests concerning security configuration, licensing, remediation and access.

TetherView may identify vulnerabilities or recommended improvements that require action by Customer or a third party.

TetherView shall not be responsible for consequences arising from Customer’s failure or delay in following a recommendation.

TetherView may refuse to implement an instruction that TetherView reasonably believes would materially impair security, violate law, create an unreasonable operational risk or adversely affect another customer or TetherView.

10. SECURITY INCIDENTS

If TetherView becomes aware of a suspected security incident within the portion of Customer’s Microsoft 365 environment monitored by Digital Bunker 365, TetherView may take actions it reasonably believes appropriate to protect the environment.

Such actions may include:

Customer authorizes TetherView to take reasonable emergency protective measures without prior approval when TetherView believes delay could materially increase risk.

TetherView does not guarantee discovery of every security incident or detection within any specific period unless expressly stated in a separately executed service-level agreement.

11. BACKUP AND DATA RECOVERY

Where backup configuration is included in the Service Agreement, TetherView’s responsibility is limited to configuring, monitoring or reporting on the identified backup process.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Customer is responsible for supplying and maintaining the backup destination, licensing, storage capacity and infrastructure.

No backup system is infallible.

TetherView does not warrant that every file, email, record, version or data item will be successfully backed up, retained or recoverable.

Customer is responsible for independently determining whether its backup and retention architecture satisfies Customer’s business, legal, regulatory and insurance requirements.

12. MICROSOFT COPILOT AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

If Customer purchases Digital Bunker 365 services relating to Microsoft Copilot or another artificial intelligence service, Customer acknowledges that AI services are provided by Microsoft or another third party and not by TetherView.

TetherView may configure security, access, governance and compliance controls but does not control the underlying AI model.

Customer is solely responsible for:

TetherView shall not be liable for inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, offensive, infringing or otherwise defective AI-generated output.

13. FEES AND BILLING

Customer shall pay all Service Fees stated in the applicable Service Agreement.

Unless otherwise stated:

A billing dispute must be submitted in writing within thirty (30) days after the applicable invoice. Amounts not disputed within that period shall be deemed accepted.

TetherView may recover reasonable costs of collection, including attorneys’ fees and collection agency expenses, for overdue amounts.

14. NON-CANCELLABLE TERM

14.1 Binding Commitment

The initial term and each renewal term stated in the Service Agreement is a firm, non-cancellable financial commitment by Customer.

Except where expressly required by applicable law, Customer may not terminate the Agreement for convenience before expiration of the then-current term.

14.2 Remaining Contract Value

If Customer:

Customer shall remain obligated to pay all fees that would have become due through the end of the then-current term.

The parties agree that this payment obligation represents the agreed contractual price for Customer’s committed term and is not a penalty.

At TetherView’s option, all remaining committed fees may become immediately due and payable.

14.3 No Refunds

All Service Fees are non-refundable except where TetherView expressly agrees otherwise in writing.

15. RENEWAL

Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Service Agreement, the Agreement automatically renews for successive twelve (12) month periods.

Either party may prevent renewal by providing written notice at least thirty (30) days before expiration of the then-current term.

A notice of non-renewal terminates the Agreement only at the end of the then-current term and does not relieve Customer of its obligation to pay all fees through that date.

Pricing may increase upon renewal as stated in the applicable Service Agreement.

16. TETHERVIEW SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION RIGHTS

TetherView may suspend all or part of the Services immediately if:

TetherView may terminate the Agreement for Customer’s material breach if the breach is not cured within ten (10) days after written notice, except that no cure period is required for unlawful conduct, security threats, fraud, intentional interference with security controls or repeated breaches.

Suspension or termination by TetherView because of Customer’s breach shall not relieve Customer of its obligation to pay the remaining fees for the then-current term.

17. CUSTOMER CYBER INSURANCE

Throughout the Term, Customer shall maintain cyber liability and cybercrime insurance appropriate to Customer’s size, industry, operations, data sensitivity and risk profile, with limits reasonably acceptable to TetherView.

Upon request, Customer shall provide evidence of such insurance.

Customer’s cyber insurance shall be considered the primary source of recovery for losses associated with a cybersecurity incident.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, before asserting a monetary claim against TetherView arising from a cybersecurity incident, Customer shall:

  1. timely report the event to all applicable insurers;
  2. tender the claim to the applicable insurer or insurers;
  3. reasonably pursue available insurance coverage; and
  4. apply insurance proceeds received toward the claimed loss.

Customer’s failure to maintain required insurance does not increase TetherView’s liability or waive any limitation, exclusion or defense available to TetherView.

Any insurance maintained by TetherView shall not be construed to increase TetherView’s contractual liability.

18. CUSTOMER INDEMNIFICATION

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Customer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless TetherView and its affiliates, officers, directors, members, employees, contractors and agents from claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, penalties, costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees arising from or relating to:

The liability cap:

If the event occurs during the first month of Services, the cap shall equal the recurring Digital Bunker 365 fees payable for that first month.

Confidentiality obligations shall survive termination of the Agreement.
