2.5.1 不保证。在选择使用预览版时,渠道合作伙伴不得依赖于世纪互联提供任何未来的功能或特性,也不得依赖于有关预览版或产品路线图的任何评论。世纪互联可能会在最终的商业版本(如果有)中对预览版进行大幅变更,或者世纪互联可能选择不发布商业版本。商业版本(如果有)可能受本协议或其他协议的约束,即使预览版是免费的,商业版本也可能需要付费。
2.5.2 支持。世纪互联没有义务为预览版提供技术支持。如果世纪互联提供任何技术支持,则可以在预览版提供的详细信息中找到有关此类支持的信息。世纪互联为预览版可能提供的任何支持均按“原样”提供、“包含所有错误”,并且没有担保。

3.4 技术限制。除非获得明确授权,渠道合作伙伴不得从在线服务下载或以其他方式删除软件、源代码或其他内容或材料的副本。与在线服务或任何 Dynamics 软件相关并且均受第 4.2 条约束的情况下,世纪互联可以使用从渠道合作伙伴数据或支持数据中获得或了解的任何信息或数据,前提是此类使用不会包括或披露渠道合作伙伴数据或支持数据,并且不得通过此类用途对任何渠道合作伙伴数据或支持数据进行逆向工程。保留本协议中未明确授予的所有权利。未经渠道合作伙伴的许可,世纪互联不得将渠道合作伙伴数据或支持数据,或从此类数据中获取的信息用于广告或类似商业目的。

11.4 比较过错。任何一方及其关联公司均不对由于另一方或其代理或许可用户的错误、疏忽或过错造成的任何损害负责(但世纪互联充当渠道合作伙伴的许可用户时,本第 11.4 条中的前述内容不适用于免除世纪互联适用的责任)。
11.5 对他人的责任。对于由渠道合作伙伴向其提供在线服务访问权限的任何许可用户(世纪互联除外)对在线服务的任何使用或采取的作为或不作为(包括关于非世纪互联产品或其他非世纪互联内容或材料、渠道合作伙伴数据或支持数据的行为),渠道合作伙伴将承担责任。任何许可用户(世纪互联除外)与在线服务相关的作为或不作为(以及因渠道合作伙伴违反本协议或未能采取行动而造成的任何许可用户违反本协议的任何其他作为或不作为)将被归咎于渠道合作伙伴。对于渠道合作伙伴(或其非世纪互联许可用户)与第三方、第三方网站或代表渠道合作伙伴的任何第三方进行交互时出现的相关伤害或损害,世纪互联不承担任何责任。
第 12 条 一般条款

12.2 可用性。世纪互联并未陈述本在线服务适合或可在所有地理位置使用。如果渠道合作伙伴从有意提供在线服务的国家/地区以外的国家/地区访问或使用在线服务的任何部分,渠道合作伙伴将自行承担风险,并自行负责遵守所有适用的法律。
12.3 适用法律。1980年《联合国国际货物销售合同公约》(United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods)及其相关文书不适用于本协议。在线服务、世纪互联软件和 Dynamics 软件受版权和其他知识产权法律和国际条约的保护。中华人民共和国的法律适用于本协议。
12.4 地点和管辖权。与本协议相关的任何诉讼或争议将由具有约束力的仲裁决定。仲裁将根据当时有效的规则在北京的中国国际经济贸易仲裁委员会(“CIETAC”)进行。第 12.4 条并未阻止任何一方在任何适当的司法管辖区内针对违反知识产权或保密义务而寻求禁令救济。
12.5 争议。在任何一方(或其任何人员)按照第 12.4 条提出索赔之前,应提前 60 天向另一方提供书面通知,并在此 60 天期限内(如果双方同意可延长时间),双方授权代表将真诚合作,以解决争议。
12.6 律师费。在与本协议相关的任何争议中,胜诉方(包括任何上诉)将有权收回其合理的律师费和开支。
12.7 可分割性。如果本协议的任何部分被认为是不可执行的,则将被视为由尽可能与原始语言的意图相匹配的可执行部分代替。本协议的其余部分将继续具有完全效力。

12.9 第三方受益人。本协议没有第三方受益人。
12.10 关系。协议双方是独立承包商。渠道合作伙伴不得声称自己是世纪互联的代表、代理或雇员。本协议不构成合资企业、合伙、代理机构、信托或雇佣关系。世纪互联及其供应商是独立实体,世纪互联不对此类第三方的任何行为负责,也不受其约束。为免生疑义,世纪互联与渠道合作伙伴之间不存在合伙关系。
12.11 遵守法律。世纪互联将遵守适用于其提供在线服务的所有法律和法规,包括有关安全漏洞通知的法律。但是,世纪互联不负责遵守适用于渠道合作伙伴或渠道合作伙伴行业,但通常不适用于信息技术服务提供商的任何法律或法规。世纪互联不确定渠道合作伙伴数据或支持数据是否包含受任何特定法律或法规约束的信息。
渠道合作伙伴将遵守适用于渠道合作伙伴数据、使用在线服务的所有法律和法规,包括适用于任何软件的所有国内和国际出口法律和法规,包括对目的地、最终用户和最终用途的限制。渠道合作伙伴负责实施和维护渠道合作伙伴提供或控制的组件的隐私保护和安全措施,以及确定在线服务是否适合存储和处理受任何特定法律或法规约束的信息。渠道合作伙伴负责回应第三方关于渠道合作伙伴使用在线服务的任何请求,例如请求根据适用的法律和法规删除内容。

2.5 预览版。世纪互联可以提供预览版。如果客户使用(或尝试使用)预览版,则本第 2.5 条中的条款将适用。世纪互联会将预览版内容标记为“测试版”、“预发布版”、“预览版”或类似名称。预览版仅为便利而提供,除非世纪互联在另行签署的书面文件中明确规定,否则不得在生产或“实时操作”环境中使用预览版。如果客户在生产或“实时操作”环境中使用任何预览版,世纪互联对任何数据泄露或损失概不负责。世纪互联可以随时更改或中止预览版,恕不另行通知。预览版中:(A) 可能缺少或禁用了某些功能;(B) 可能包含的 bug 或其他错误会导致其无法正常运行;(C) 采用的隐私和安全措施少于或不同于商业版本在线服务或任何 Dynamics 软件中通常存在的措施;(D) 除非另有说明,否则不受任何适用于在线服务的商业版本或任何 Dynamics 软件的服务水平协议的约束;并且 (E) 被视为包含在在线服务中并受本协议条款的约束(除非此类预览版可能附带的任何单独条款中另有与本协议冲突或作为本协议补充的说明,或本协议中另有说明,包括此处的第 2.5 条)。客户全权负责评估预览版以及从中生成的任何报告或输出。客户不得使用预览版来处理个人数据或受法律或法规合规性要求约束的其他数据。根据第 4.2 条从 OST 并入的以下条款不适用于预览版:个人数据的处理、GDPR 和数据安全。
2.5.1 不保证。在选择使用预览版时,客户不得依赖于世纪互联提供任何未来的功能或特性,也不得依赖于有关预览版或产品路线图的任何评论。世纪互联可能会在最终的商业版本(如果有)中对预览版进行大幅变更,或者世纪互联可能选择不发布商业版本。商业版本(如果有)可能受本协议或其他协议的约束,即使预览版是免费的,商业版本也可能需要付费。
2.5.2 支持。世纪互联没有义务为预览版提供技术支持。如果世纪互联提供任何技术支持,则可以在预览版提供的详细信息中找到有关此类支持的信息。世纪互联为预览版可能提供的任何支持均按“原样”提供、“包含所有错误”,并且没有担保。
第 3 条 使用在线服务的权利
3.1 许可。根据本协议的条款,世纪互联向客户授予有限的、不可转让的、非独占的、可撤销的必要版权许可,以便在期限内访问和使用在线服务。客户只能根据本协议(以及世纪互联可能在任何预览版中提供的任何单独条款)使用在线服务。
3.2 反馈。世纪互联可以使用客户或其许可用户提供的任何反馈,包括客户或其许可用户指定为机密的反馈。客户将不会,并且将导致其许可用户不会在任何反馈中包含任何客户数据、个人数据或受法律或法规合规性要求约束的其他数据。客户免费向世纪互联提供以任何方式和任何目的使用、分享和不受限制地商业化此类反馈的权利。客户还免费向第三方提供任何含有此类反馈的世纪互联产品或服务的使用权或与之连接的权利。客户声明并保证其拥有或以其他方式控制此类反馈的所有权利,并且此类反馈不受任何第三方权利的约束。“反馈”指客户(包括其许可用户)向世纪互联提供的有关在线服务或世纪互联软件(包括 Dynamics 软件)的所有评论、建议或反馈。

3.4 技术限制。除非获得明确授权,客户不得从在线服务下载或以其他方式删除软件、源代码或其他内容或材料的副本。与在线服务或任何Dynamics 软件相关并且均受第 4.2 条约束的情况下,世纪互联可以使用从客户数据或支持数据中获得或了解的任何信息或数据,前提是此类使用不包括或披露客户数据或支持数据,并且不得通过此类用途对任何客户数据或支持数据进行逆向工程。保留本协议中未明确授予的所有权利。未经客户的许可,世纪互联不得将客户数据或支持数据,或从此类数据中获取的信息用于广告或类似商业目的。
3.5 保密。各协议方应:(A) 保护另一方根据本协议共享的机密信息,防止未经授权地传播这些信息,并采用其保护其自身信息的同等程度保护这些信息,但绝不能低于合理的谨慎程度;(B) 根据本协议仅在必要时使用另一方的机密信息;和 (C) 在任何情况下,未经另一方事先书面许可,不得向任何第三方披露另一方的机密信息。但是,可以根据司法或其他政府命令披露机密信息,条件是遵守该命令的一方给予关于此类披露的合理通知,使另一方有合理的机会寻求保护令或同等效力的措施;或者从适用的司法或政府实体获得具有法律约束力的保证,该实体将为机密信息提供保护,保护程度将与其根据适用法律或按法律要求保护其类似专有信息和机密信息的程度相同。也可能将机密信息披露给接收方的人员(受到书面保密义务的约束,其约束力不低于本协议的限制)及其关联公司,披露程度均仅限于此类人员或关联公司为妥善履行本协议而合理地需要知道此类机密信息的程度。本第 3.5 条中的保密义务适用于 (x) 客户数据和支持数据,直至从在线服务中删除此类数据为止;(y) 预览版,除非并直至预览版被公开;和 (z) 所有其他机密信息,保密期限为在一方收到机密信息后的五(5)年内。“机密信息”指披露方指定为机密的非公开信息,或者在披露的情况下应当视为机密的非公开信息;预览版被视为世纪互联的机密信息;并且客户数据、支持数据以及世纪互联协议的条款也是机密信息。机密信息不包括以下信息:(1) 在没有违反保密义务的情况下可公开获得的信息;(2) 接收方不违反保密义务,通过合法方式从其他来源获得的信息;(3) 独立开发的信息;或 (4) 反馈。
3.6 停机时间。世纪互联可能安排时间中断在线服务,以进行升级、更新或其他维护(“计划停机时间”)。世纪互联将做出商业上合理的努力,提前通知客户该计划停机时间。客户可能无法在计划停机时间内访问或使用在线服务、任何 Dynamics 软件或任何非世纪互联产品;此类无法访问不被视为违反本协议。在不限制上述规定的情况下,不存在适用于在线服务的服务水平保证或正常运行时间要求,除非且仅在服务门户中存在明确的相反表述。
第 4 条 数据保护
4.1 数据保留和删除。在期限内,客户可以访问、提取和删除存储于在线服务中的客户数据。除免费试用版和预览版,以及第 4.1 条中另有规定外,世纪互联将在客户的在线服务访问权限终止后的 90 天内将存储于在线服务中的客户数据保留在一个功能有限的帐户中,以便客户可以提取数据。在 90 天保留期结束后,世纪互联将禁用客户帐户并在后续 90 天内删除客户数据和个人数据,除非 世纪互联:(A) 根据适用的法律或法规被允许或被要求保留此类数据;(B) 经本协议授权;或 (C) 仅限于客户于在线服务中拥有多个角色,并且部分客户数据或个人数据对多个此类角色是共用的,在这种情况下,世纪互联将保留此类共用数据,直至客户所有此类角色的在线服务访问权终止。在线服务可能不支持保留或提取由客户提供的任何非世纪互联产品。就第 4.1 条而言,一旦客户没有任何从属软件(在第 6.2 条中定义)的待履行订阅或待履行支持协议,“客户的在线服务访问权”即被视为终止。世纪互联对第 4.1 条中描述的客户数据或个人数据的删除不承担任何责任。
4.2 数据保护条款。本协议包括并通过引用方式并入 OST 中题为“数据保护条款”的部分或其他明确与数据处理或保护有关的部分(包括标准合同条款和欧盟通用数据保护条例,均已并入 OST 中),但明确排除特定于具体指名的在线服务的任何条款。仅出于解释本协议范围内从 OST 并入的条款的目的,在此类并入条款中提到的任何定义在本协议和 OST 中均有定义,则以本协议中的定义为准。
4.3 数据位置。世纪互联仅在中国存储客户数据,除非世纪互联使用 Microsoft Azure Email Orchestrator 向在线服务的用户发送系统生成的电子邮件,以提供服务请求的确认或状态更新。收件人的电子邮件地址和电子邮件内容将在美国存储一段有限的时间。客户同意传输此信息。

第 5 条 第三方事项
世纪互联可通过客户对在线服务的使用向客户提供非世纪互联产品(例如通过商店或图库或其他集成)。客户对非世纪互联产品的使用可能受第三方条款和条件的约束。如果客户通过在线服务或任何 Dynamics 软件来安装或使用任何非世纪互联产品,客户不得以任何方式使世纪互联的知识产权承担超出本协议范围的义务。世纪互联对任何非世纪互联产品(包括客户在任何此类非世纪互联产品中的任何知识产权)不承担任何责任或义务。如果客户通过在线服务或任何 Dynamics 软件来安装或使用任何非世纪互联产品:(A) 在世纪互联和客户之间,客户承担此类非世纪互联产品的全部责任,并将遵守世纪互联可能实施的所有适用策略和流程; (B) 自客户首次向世纪互联提供此类非世纪互联产品起,并持续到世纪互联从其系统中删除此类非世纪互联产品为止,客户授予世纪互联非独家、免版税、已全额付款的许可,以托管、使用、分发、复制和以其他方式在全球范围内访问此类非世纪互联产品。

第 7 条 期限和终止

Section 2. INITIATING THE ONLINE SERVICE.
2.1 Requirements. Channel Partner must, throughout the Term, satisfy the Online Service Requirements to activate and continue to use the Online Service. Channel Partner must cease using the Online Service if it becomes non-compliant with the Online Service Requirements. 21Vianet may periodically check compliance status and will use reasonable efforts to notify Channel Partner of noncompliance. 21Vianet may limit or suspend Channel Partner’s access to or use of, the Online Service, without notice, at any time if Channel Partner is non-compliant. For clarity, maintaining an executory Partner Agreement (defined in Section 1) is an Online Service Requirement and a condition precedent to continuing to use the Online Service but no Partner Agreement will apply to the Online Service itself (although it may apply to Dependent Software (defined in Section 6.2)).
2.2 Contact Information. Channel Partner will provide Channel Partner’s real identity and contact information in registering for the Online Service and promptly update that information in the Services Portal if it changes. 21Vianet will use this information to contact Channel Partner as detailed in the Privacy Statement. Channel Partner warrants that the information Channel Partner provides is true, complete, and valid, and Channel Partner is wholly responsible for the consequences if it is not.
2.3 Workspace Management. Channel Partner may, from time to time, use the Online Service to create a workspace (e.g., a prospective-presales project or an implementation project) with Dynamics Software for, or may be invited to an existing workspace by, a Customer. 21Vianet has no direct role in the management of any such workspace, which is solely for Channel Partner or between Channel Partner and its Customer. Channel Partner acknowledges that if it is acting as a Permitted User to a Customer, it is subject to that Customer’s Permitted User TOU (defined in Section 2.4.1), under which it may lose access to that Customer’s workspace.
2.4 Permitted Users. Channel Partner will authorize Permitted Users to access and use the Online Service and, as applicable, the Dynamics Software. Channel Partner may add Permitted Users to, or remove them from, the Online Service and, as applicable, the Dynamics Software, if the Online Service or Dynamics Software allows.
2.4.1 Non-21Vianet. Channel Partner may require non-21Vianet Permitted Users to agree to terms applicable to their access to and use of workspaces Channel Partner creates, or any Channel Partner Data or Support Data it makes available, in the Online Service (“Permitted User TOU”). Any Permitted User TOU will require Permitted User to agree at least that: (A) the Permitted User TOU is solely between Channel Partner and Permitted User, and 21Vianet is not liable in any way under the Permitted User TOU or for the acts or omissions of Channel Partner, Permitted User, or any third-party agent of either; and (B) any dispute arising out of or related to the Permitted User TOU, or the Permitted User’s use of any workspaces in the Online Service, is solely between Channel Partner and Permitted User. 21Vianet may rely on information or instructions provided by any non-21Vianet Permitted User.
2.4.2 21Vianet. Channel Partner is deemed to have granted any 21Vianet Permitted User a license to access and use Channel Partner’s Online Service workspaces, Channel Partner Data, and Support Data. If Channel Partner requires 21Vianet to agree to a Permitted User TOU to gain access to or use Channel Partner’s Online Service workspaces, Channel Partner Data, or Support Data, the Permitted User TOU is deemed rejected by, and will not apply to, 21Vianet, even if any 21Vianet personnel purports to accept it.
2.5 Previews. 21Vianet may provide Previews. If Channel Partner uses (or tries to use) a Preview, the terms in this Section 2.5 will apply. 21Vianet will mark Previews as “beta”, “pre-release”, “preview”, or with a similar designation. Previews are provided solely as a convenience and, unless otherwise expressly set forth by 21Vianet in a separate signed writing, are not for use in a production or “live operating” environment. 21Vianet is not liable for any breach or loss if Channel Partner uses any Preview in a production or “live operating” environment. 21Vianet may change or discontinue Previews at any time, without notice.

Channel Partner will not download or otherwise remove copies of software, source code, or other content or materials from the Online Service except as explicitly authorized. 21Vianet may, in connection with the Online Service or any Dynamics Software, and in each case subject to Section 4.2, use any information or data derived or learned from Channel Partner Data or Support Data, but only if such use does not include or disclose Channel Partner Data or Support Data and no Channel Partner Data or Support Data can be reverse engineered from such use. All rights not expressly granted in this Agreement are reserved. 21Vianet will not use Channel Partner Data or Support Data, or derive information from either, for advertising or similar commercial purposes without Channel Partner’s permission.
3.5 Confidentiality. Each party will: (A) protect the other party’s Confidential Information shared under this Agreement from unauthorized dissemination with the same degree of care it uses to protect its own like information, but never less than reasonable care; (B) use the other party’s Confidential Information solely as necessary to perform under this Agreement; and (C) not disclose the other party’s Confidential Information to any third party without such other party’s prior written permission in each case.

Confidential Information may also be disclosed to the receiving party’s personnel (who are bound by written confidentiality obligations not less restrictive than those of this Agreement) and its Affiliates, in each case solely to the extent such personnel or Affiliates reasonably need to know such Confidential Information for proper performance of this Agreement. The confidentiality obligation in this Section 3.5 applies for (x) Channel Partner Data, and Support Data until it is deleted from the Online Service; (y) Previews unless and until they are made publicly available; and (z) all other Confidential Information, for a period of five (5) years after a party receives the Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means nonpublic information that the disclosing party designates as being confidential, or that, under the circumstances surrounding disclosure, ought to be treated as confidential; Previews are deemed 21Vianet’s Confidential Information; and Channel Partner Data, Support Data, and the terms of 21Vianet agreements are also Confidential Information. Confidential Information does not include information that (1) becomes publicly available without a breach of a confidentiality obligation; (2) the receiving party received lawfully from another source without a confidentiality obligation; (3) is independently developed; or (4) is Feedback.
3.6 Downtime. 21Vianet may schedule interruptions to the Online Service for upgrades, updates, or other maintenance (“Scheduled Downtime”). 21Vianet will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify Channel Partner of Scheduled Downtime in advance. Channel Partner may not be able to access or use the Online Service, any Dynamics Software, or any Non-21Vianet Product during Scheduled Downtime; such lack of access is deemed not to breach this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, there are no service level guarantees or uptime requirements applicable to the Online Service.
Section 4. DATA PROTECTION.
4.1 Data Retention and Deletion. During the Term, Channel Partner can access, extract, and delete Channel Partner Data stored in the Online Service. Except for free trials and Previews and except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.1, 21Vianet will retain Channel Partner Data stored in the Online Service in a limited function account for 90 days after Channel Partner’s access to the Online Service ends so that Channel Partner may extract the data. After the 90-day retention period ends, 21Vianet will disable Channel Partner’s account and delete the Channel Partner Data and Personal Data within an additional 90 days, unless 21Vianet is (A) permitted or required by applicable law or regulation to retain such data, (B) is authorized in this Agreement; or (C) solely to the extent that Channel Partner has multiple roles (e.g., both Channel Partner and Customer) within the Online Service and some of the Channel Partner Data or Personal Data is common to more than one such role, in which case 21Vianet will retain such common data until Channel Partner’s access to the Online Service ends as applicable to all such roles). The Online Service may not support retention or extraction of any Non-21Vianet Product provided by Channel Partner. For purposes of this Section 4.1, “Channel Partner’s access to the Online Service” is deemed to end as soon as Channel Partner has no executory subscription to, or executory support agreement for, any Dependent Software (defined in Section 6.2). 21Vianet has no liability for the deletion of Channel Partner Data or Personal Data as described in this Section 4.1.
4.2 Data Protection Terms. This Agreement includes, and incorporates by reference, those portions of the OST entitled “Data Protection Terms” or otherwise expressly pertaining to data processing or protection (including the Standard Contractual Clauses and the European Union General Data Protection Regulation Terms, each as incorporated in the OST), but expressly excluding any terms specific to particular, named online services. Solely for purposes of interpreting terms incorporated from the OST in the context of this Agreement: (A) references in such incorporated terms to “Customer” are deemed to apply to “Channel Partner”; (B) all references in such incorporated terms to “Customer Data” are deemed to mean “Channel Partner Data”; and (C) to the extent such incorporated terms reference any definitions defined both in this Agreement and the OST, the definitions in this Agreement will apply.

The recipient’s email address and the email content will be stored in the United States for a limited period of time. . Channel Partner consents to the transmission of this information.
4.4 Security Practices and Policy. 21Vianet will implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Channel Partner Data and Personal Data. Those measures will be set forth in a 21Vianet Online Security Policy. 21Vianet will make that policy available to Channel Partner, along with descriptions of the security controls in place for the Online Service and other information reasonably requested by Channel Partner regarding 21Vianet’s security practices and policies. In addition, those measures will comply with the requirements set forth in ISO 27001, ISO 27002, and ISO 27018. 21Vianet will not eliminate ISO 27001, ISO 27002, or ISO 27018 unless it is no longer used in the industry and it is replaced with a successor (if any).

Section 5. DEALINGS WITH THIRD PARTIES.
5.1 Non-21Vianet Product. 21Vianet may make Non-21Vianet Products available to Channel Partner through Channel Partner’s use of the Online Service (such as through a store or gallery or other integration). Channel Partner’s use of Non-21Vianet Products may be subject to the third party’s terms and conditions. If Channel Partner installs or uses any Non-21Vianet Product with the Online Service or any Dynamics Software, Channel Partner may not do so in any way that would subject 21Vianet’s intellectual property to obligations beyond those in this Agreement. 21Vianet assumes no responsibility or liability for any Non-21Vianet Product (including any of Channel Partner’s intellectual property in any such Non-21Vianet Product). If Channel Partner (or its Customer) installs or uses any Non-21Vianet Product with the Online Service or any Dynamics Software: (A) as between 21Vianet and Channel Partner, Channel Partner is solely responsible for such Non-21Vianet Product and will comply with all applicable policies and processes 21Vianet may implement; (B) and if Customer changes its reseller or system integrator to a third party, then: (1) Channel Partner will lose access to such Customer’s applicable workspaces, content, and any copies of Channel Partner’s Non-21Vianet Product that Channel Partner may have provided to Customer, but (2) such Customer, and its new reseller or system integrator, will have access to such Customer’s applicable workspaces, content, and any such copies of Channel Partner’s Non-21Vianet Product; and (C) effective as of when Channel Partner first made such Non-21Vianet Product available to 21Vianet and continuing until 21Vianet has deleted such Non-21Vianet Product from its systems, Channel Partner grants 21Vianet a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up license to host, use, distribute, reproduce, and otherwise provide worldwide access to such Non-21Vianet Product.
5.2 User Agreements. Channel Partner must have an agreement (including any license terms or privacy statement) with each of its Customers to which Channel Partner provides access to or use of any Non-21Vianet Product (and failing to do so is a material breach) through the Online Service (“User Agreement”). The User Agreement must not: (A) make any representation or warranty on 21Vianet’s behalf, with respect to any such Non-21Vianet Product or otherwise; (B) purport to create any obligations that name or refer to 21Vianet as the party or third party obligated to fulfill or discharge any duties; (C) otherwise name or refer to 21Vianet other than as may be necessary to disclose in its privacy policy; or (D) purport to supersede, modify, or abrogate the applicable terms of use as applicable between 21Vianet and each and every such Customer.
Section 6. CHANGES TO THE ONLINE SERVICE.
6.1 Changes. Except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, 21Vianet may change the Online Service or any Dynamics Software at any time, without notice.
6.2 Discontinuing. 21Vianet will provide a minimum of 12 months’ notification prior to ending support for the Online Service if no successor or service is offered, excluding free trial services or Previews. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, however, 21Vianet will not discontinue the Online Service solely to the extent the Online Service is necessary for Channel Partner to access or use any Dynamics Software (“Dependent Software”), at least one of Channel Partner’s Customers maintains either an executory subscription to, or an executory support agreement for, the Dependent Software, and the discontinuation would prevent such access or use.

This Agreement will terminate automatically if the Online Service is discontinued in accordance with Section 6. If this Agreement is terminated with respect to Channel Partner for any reason, it will automatically terminate with respect to all Permitted Users.

9.1 Duty and Process. Subject to Sections 9.1 and 9.2, 21Vianet will: (A) defend Channel Partner, Channel Partner’s Affiliates, and each of its or their subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees, agents, or independent contractors against an unaffiliated third party’s claim alleging the Online Service, as provided by 21Vianet and used as licensed under this Agreement, infringes or misappropriates that third party’s intellectual property rights (“21Vianet Indemnified Claim”); and (B) pay any resulting adverse final judgment for a 21Vianet Indemnified Claim (or settlement to which 21Vianet consents).

9.2 Limitations. 21Vianet’s obligations under this Section 9 will not apply to the extent a 21Vianet Indemnified Claim, adverse final judgment, or settlement is based on: (A) any Channel Partner Data, Support Data, Non-21Vianet Product, links to third party websites, or non-21Vianet content or materials; (B) Channel Partner’s use of any portion of the Online Service after 21Vianet notifies Channel Partner to stop using it due to a third-party claim, if damages would not have accrued but for the continued use; (C) Channel Partner’s combination of any portion of the Online Service with anything not provided by or on behalf of 21Vianet, to the extent the claim arises from the combination; (D) damages attributable to the value of the use of any Non-21Vianet Product; (E) Channel Partner’s use of any 21Vianet trademark(s) without 21Vianet’s express, prior, written consent; (F) Channel Partner’s use of any Preview in a production or “live operating” environment (unless otherwise expressly stated in a separate written agreement with 21Vianet); (G) Channel Partner’s use of the Online Service in a manner that violates this Agreement to the extent the claim arises from the violation; or (H) allegations that Channel Partner acquired a trade secret: (1) through improper means; (2) under circumstances giving rise to a duty to maintain its secrecy or limit its use; or (3) from any party (other than 21Vianet) who owed the third-party claimant a duty to maintain the secrecy or limit use of the trade secret. Channel Partner will reimburse 21Vianet for any costs or damages resulting from any of the above actions. Moreover, 21Vianet will have no obligation under this Section 9 to the extent any claim, adverse final judgment, or settlement arises out of or relates to Dynamics Software (as opposed to the Online Service); 21Vianet’s obligations to defend and settle any such claims, or to pay any such judgments or settlements, related to Dynamics Software are set forth, if at all, in the agreement under which Channel Partner was given access to, and a right to access and use, such Dynamics Software.
9.3 Specific Rights and Remedies.
9.3.1 Possible Infringement.

Channel Partner will immediately stop using the allegedly infringing Online Service after receiving 21Vianet’s notice. If any other type of third party claim is brought against Channel Partner regarding 21Vianet’s intellectual property rights, Channel Partner must notify 21Vianet promptly in writing. 21Vianet may, at 21Vianet’s option, choose to treat these claims as being covered by Section 9.
9.3.2 Exclusive Remedy. This Section 9 states Channel Partner’s exclusive remedy and 21Vianet’s sole duty regarding 21Vianet Indemnified Claims (to the extent 21Vianet does not breach this Section 9).
Section 10. CHANNEL PARTNER’S DEFENSE OF CLAIMS.
10.1 Duty and Process. Channel Partner will defend 21Vianet, 21Vianet’s Affiliates, and each of its or their subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees, agents, licensors, or independent contractors against any claim made by an unaffiliated third party (“Channel Partner Indemnified Claim”): (A) that alleges Channel Partner Data, Support Data, Channel Partner’s Non-21Vianet Products, other non-21Vianet content or materials, or Channel Partner’s (including non-21Vianet Permitted Users’) use of the Online Service (excluding only claims for which 21Vianet is obligated to defend and pay under Section 9) infringes or misappropriates that third party’s intellectual property rights; (B) that if true as alleged, reflects a breach by Channel Partner of this Agreement; (C) that relates to any dispute of any kind or nature between Channel Partner and a non-21Vianet Permitted User, whether arising under or related to a Permitted User TOU or otherwise; (D) that relates to Channel Partner’s use of a Preview in a production or “live operating” environment; (E) that arises out of or relates to Channel Partner’s Non-21Vianet Product, including any product liability claims; or (F) for which 21Vianet’s liability would have been reduced had Channel Partner effectively bound the applicable Customer to a Permitted User TOU under Section 2.4.1.

Channel Partner will not, without 21Vianet’s express, prior, written consent (not unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld), acquiesce to any judgment or enter into any settlement that adversely affects 21Vianet’s rights or interests or obligates 21Vianet to pay any sums not fully paid by Channel Partner, at the time of settlement, under this Section 10.1. Channel Partner will not stipulate, admit, or acknowledge any fault or liability on 21Vianet’s part without 21Vianet’s express, prior, written permission. Channel Partner will not be responsible for any settlement made by 21Vianet without Channel Partner’s written permission (not unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld). 21Vianet will also provide Channel Partner with reasonable assistance to defend any Channel Partner Indemnified Claim, at Channel Partner’s reasonable request and expense.
10.2 Exclusive Remedy. This Section 10 states 21Vianet’s exclusive remedy and Channel Partner’s sole duty regarding any Channel Partner Indemnified Claim (to the extent Channel Partner does not breach this Section 10).
Section 11. LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY.
11.1 Liability Cap. Subject to Section 11.3 and to the extent permitted by applicable law, each party’s total aggregate liability to the other for all claims related to this Agreement is limited to direct damages incurred in reasonable reliance, in an amount not to exceed 50 RMB. These limitations apply whether liability is based on breach of contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, breach of warranties, or any other theory. For clarity, 21Vianet has no liability at all under any Permitted User TOU between Channel Partner and any non-21Vianet Permitted User.
11.2 Excluded Damages. To the extent permitted by applicable law, whatever the legal basis for the claim, neither party, nor any of its Affiliates, suppliers, or contractors, will be liable for any indirect damages (including consequential, special, punitive, or incidental damages, or damages for lost profits or revenues, business interruption, or loss of business information) arising under or related to this Agreement, even if advised such damages were possible or if the possibility was reasonably foreseeable.
11.3 Applicability. The limitations in Section 11.1 and exclusions in Section 11.2 will not apply to: (A) violation or misappropriation of the other party’s intellectual property rights; (B) duties under, or breach of, Sections 9 or 10; (C) damages attributable to a party’s or its agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (in jurisdictions that do not recognize a legal distinction between “gross negligence” and “negligence”, “gross negligence” means “recklessness”); (D) bodily injury or death caused by a party’s negligence or that of its employees or agents; (E) fraud; or (F) breach of obligations regarding Confidential Information (except as related to Channel Partner Data or Support Data, which are subject to the limitations in Section 11.1 and exclusions in Section 11.2). In addition, the limitations in Section 11.1 will not apply to fees, if any, payable for the Online Service.
11.4 Comparative Fault. Neither party nor its Affiliates will be responsible for any damages to the extent caused by the error, negligence, or fault of the other or such other’s agents or Permitted Users (although the foregoing in this Section 11.4 will not apply to insulate 21Vianet from applicable liability when 21Vianet is acting as Channel Partner’s Permitted User).
11.5 Liability for Others. Channel Partner will be liable for any use of the Online Service, or any actions taken or omitted (including with regard to Non-21Vianet Products or other non-21Vianet content or materials, Channel Partner Data, or Support Data), by any Permitted User (other than 21Vianet) to which Channel Partner provides access to the Online Service. Actions or failures to act of any Permitted User (other than 21Vianet) related to the Online Service (and any other acts or omissions of any Permitted User that would have breached this Agreement had Channel Partner so acted or failed to act) will be imputed to Channel Partner. 21Vianet is not liable in any way for harm or damages related to Channel Partner’s (or its non-21Vianet Permitted Users) interactions with third parties, third-party websites, or any third party acting on Channel Partner’s behalf.
Section 12. GENERAL.
12.1 Agreement Changes. 21Vianet may periodically change this Agreement. When changes are made, 21Vianet will notify Channel Partner (in accordance with Section 12.14 or via other commercially reasonable means) and will post a new version of the applicable document on the Service Portal, which will include all changes and a new “Last Revised” date. If Channel Partner does not agree to a change, it must cancel or stop using the Online Service. By continuing to access or use the Online Service after a change is posted, Channel Partner is bound by the change and this Agreement.
12.2 Availability. 21Vianet makes no representation that the Online Service is appropriate or available for use in all geographic locations. If Channel Partner accesses or uses any portion of the Online Service from outside a country for which the Online Service was intended, Channel Partner does so at its own risk and is solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws.
12.3 Applicable Law. The 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and its related instruments will not apply to this Agreement. The Online Service, 21Vianet software, and Dynamics Software are protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights laws and international treaties. The laws of the People’s Republic of China apply to this Agreement.
12.4 Venue and Jurisdiction. Any action or dispute related to this Agreement will be decided by binding arbitration. The arbitration will be at the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission in Beijing (“CIETAC”) according to its then current rules. This Section 12.4 does not prevent either party from seeking injunctive relief for violation of intellectual property rights or confidentiality obligations in any appropriate jurisdiction.
12.5 Disputes. Before either party (or any of its personnel) files a claim in accordance with Section 12.4, it will provide 60 days’ prior written notice to the other and, within such 60-day period (or longer, if extended by the parties’ mutual agreement), the parties’ authorized representatives will work in good faith to resolve the dispute.
12.6 Attorneys’ Fees. In any dispute related to this Agreement, the prevailing party, including on any appeal, will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.
12.7 Severability. If any part of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, it will be deemed replaced by an enforceable section that matches the intent of the original language as closely as possible. The rest of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.
12.8 Assignment. 21Vianet may assign this Agreement, in whole or part, at any time without notice, including to a non-21Vianet entity. Channel Partner may not assign this Agreement, or any rights or duties under it, without 21Vianet’s prior, written consent. Any attempted assignment by Channel Partner without such consent is void.
12.9 Third Party Beneficiaries. There are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement.
12.10 Relationship. The parties are independent contractors. Channel Partner will not represent itself as a representative, agent, or employee of 21Vianet. This Agreement does not create a joint venture, partnership, agency, fiduciary, or employment relationship. 21Vianet and its suppliers are independent entities, and 21Vianet is neither liable for, nor bound by, any acts of such third parties. For avoidance of doubt, there is no partnership relationship between 21Vianet and Channel Partner.
12.11 Compliance with Law. 21Vianet will comply with all laws and regulations applicable to its provision of the Online Service, including security breach notification laws. 21Vianet is not, however, responsible for compliance with any laws or regulations applicable to Channel Partner or Channel Partner’s industry that are not generally applicable to information technology service providers. 21Vianet does not determine whether Channel Partner Data or Support Data includes information subject to any specific law or regulation.
Channel Partner will comply with all laws and regulations applicable to Channel Partner Data, its use of Online Service, including all domestic and international export laws and regulations that apply to any software, which include restrictions on destinations, end users, and end use. Channel Partner is responsible for implementing and maintaining privacy protections and security measures for components that Channel Partner provides or controls, and for determining whether the Online Service is appropriate for storage and processing of information subject to any specific law or regulation. Channel Partner is responsible for responding to any request from a third party regarding Channel Partner’s use of the Online Service, such as a request to take down content under applicable law and regulation.

Section 2. INITIATING THE ONLINE SERVICE.
2.1 Requirements. Customer must, throughout the Term, satisfy the Online Service Requirements to activate and continue to use the Online Service. Customer must cease using the Online Service if it becomes non-compliant with the Online Service Requirements. 21Vianet may periodically check compliance status and will use reasonable efforts to notify Customer of noncompliance. 21Vianet may limit or suspend Customer’s access to or use of the Online Service, without notice, at any time if Customer is non-compliant. For clarity, maintaining an executory Customer Agreement (defined in Section 1) is an Online Service Requirement and a condition precedent to continuing to use the Online Service but no Customer Agreement will apply to the Online Service itself (although it may apply to Dependent Software (defined in Section 6.2)).
2.2 Contact Information. Customer will provide Customer’s real identity and contact information in registering for the Online Service and promptly update that information in the Service Portal if it changes. 21Vianet will use this information to contact Customer as detailed in the Privacy Statement. Customer warrants that the information Customer provides is true, complete, and valid, and Customer is wholly responsible for the consequences if it is not.
2.3 Workspace Management. Customer may, from time to time, use the Online Service to create a workspace (e.g., an implementation project) with Dynamics Software for, or may be invited to an existing workspace by, a Channel Partner or other third party. 21Vianet has no direct role in the management of any such workspace, which is solely for Customer or between Customer and its Channel Partner or such other third party. Customer acknowledges that if it is acting as a Permitted User to a Channel Partner or other third party, it is subject to that Channel Partner’s or other third party’s Permitted User TOU (defined in Section 2.5.1), under which it may lose access to that workspace.
2.4 Permitted Users. Customer will authorize Permitted Users to access and use the Online Service and, as applicable, the Dynamics Software. Customer may add Permitted Users to, or remove them from, the Online Service and, as applicable, the Dynamics Software, if the Online Service or Dynamics Software allows.
2.4.1 Non-21Vianet. Customer may require non-21Vianet Permitted Users to agree to terms applicable to their access to and use of workspaces Customer creates, or any Customer Data or Support Data it makes available, in the Online Service (“Permitted User TOU”). Any Permitted User TOU will require Permitted User to agree at least that: (A) the Permitted User TOU is solely between Customer and Permitted User, and 21Vianet is not liable in any way under the Permitted User TOU or for the acts or omissions of Customer, Permitted User, or any third-party agent of either; and (B) any dispute arising out of or related to the Permitted User TOU, or the Permitted User’s use of any workspaces in the Online Service, is solely between Customer and Permitted User. 21Vianet may rely on information or instructions provided by any non-21Vianet Permitted User.
2.4.2 21Vianet. Customer is deemed to have granted any 21Vianet Permitted User a license to access and use Customer’s Online Service workspaces, Customer Data, and Support Data. If Customer requires 21Vianet to agree to a Permitted User TOU to gain access to or use Customer’s Online Service workspaces, Customer Data, or Support Data, the Permitted User TOU is deemed rejected by, and will not apply to, 21Vianet, even if any 21Vianet personnel purports to accept it.
2.5 Previews. 21Vianet may provide Previews. If Customer uses (or tries to use) a Preview, the terms in this Section 2.5 will apply. 21Vianet will mark Previews as “beta”, “pre-release”, “preview”, or with a similar designation. Previews are provided solely as a convenience and, unless otherwise expressly set forth by 21Vianet in a separate signed writing, are not for use in a production or “live operating” environment. 21Vianet is not liable for any breach or loss if Customer uses any Preview in a production or “live operating” environment. 21Vianet may change or discontinue Previews at any time, without notice. Previews: (A) may have certain features that are missing or disabled; (B) may contain bugs or other errors that could cause them not to function correctly; (C) employ lesser or different privacy and security measures than those typically present in a commercial version of the Online Service or any Dynamics Software; (D) are not, unless otherwise noted, subject to any service level agreement that may be applicable to a commercial version of the Online Service or any Dynamics Software; and (E) are deemed included in the Online Service and subject to the terms of this Agreement (except as otherwise stated in any separate terms that may accompany such Preview and that conflict with or supplement this Agreement, or as otherwise stated in this Agreement, including as stated in this Section 2.5). Customer is solely responsible for evaluating the Previews and any reports or output generated from them. Customer will not use Previews to process Personal Data or other data that is subject to legal or regulatory compliance requirements. The following terms incorporated from the OST under Section 4.2 do not apply to Previews: Processing of Personal Data, GDPR, and Data Security.
2.5.1 No Assurances. In choosing to use a Preview, Customer is not relying on 21Vianet delivering any future functions or features, or on any comments regarding the Preview or product roadmap. 21Vianet may significantly change a Preview for a final, commercial version, if any, or 21Vianet may elect not to release a commercial version. A commercial version, if any, may be subject to this Agreement, or to a separate agreement, and may be subject to a fee even if the Preview was free of charge.
2.5.2 Support. 21Vianet is not obligated to provide technical support for Previews. If 21Vianet provides any technical support, information for such support can be found in the Preview offer details. Any support 21Vianet may provide for Previews is provided “as is”, “with all faults”, and without warranty.
Section 3. RIGHTS TO USE THE ONLINE SERVICE.
3.1 License. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, 21Vianet grants to Customer a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable license under the necessary copyrights to access and use the Online Service during the Term. Customer may use the Online Service only in accordance with this Agreement (and any separate terms that 21Vianet may provide with any Preview).
3.2 Feedback. 21Vianet may use any Feedback that Customer or its Permitted Users provides, even if Customer or its Permitted Users designated the Feedback as confidential. Customer will not, and it will cause its Permitted Users not to, include any Customer Data, Personal Data, or other data that is subject to legal or regulatory compliance requirements in any Feedback. Customer gives to 21Vianet, without charge, the right to use, share, and freely commercialize Feedback in any way and for any purpose. Customer also gives third parties, without charge, the right to use, or interface with, any 21Vianet products or services that include the Feedback. Customer represents and warrants that it owns or otherwise controls all rights to such Feedback and that no such Feedback is subject to any third-party rights. “Feedback” means all comments, suggestions, or feedback about the Online Service or 21Vianet software (including the Dynamics Software) that Customer (including its Permitted Users) provides to 21Vianet.
3.3 Acceptable Use Policy. Customer may not use the Online Service: (A) in a way prohibited by law, regulation, government order, or decree; (B) to violate the rights of others; (C) to try to gain unauthorized access to or disrupt any service, device, data, account, or network; (D) to spam or distribute malware; (E) in a way that could harm the Online Service, any 21Vianet software (including the Dynamics Software), or impair anyone else’s use of them; or (F) in any application or situation where failure of the Online Service could lead to the death or serious bodily injury of any person, or to severe physical or environmental damage. Customer will not work around any technical or functional limitations in the Online Service, 21Vianet software (including the Dynamics Software), or in 21Vianet’s systems. Violation of the terms in this Section 3.3 may result in suspension of the Online Service or termination of this Agreement. 21Vianet will suspend the Online Service only to the extent reasonably necessary. Unless 21Vianet believes an immediate suspension is required, 21Vianet will provide reasonable notice before suspending Customer’s access to the Online Service.
3.4 Technical Limitations. Customer will not download or otherwise remove copies of software, source code, or other content or materials from the Online Service except as explicitly authorized. 21Vianet may, in connection with the Online Service or any Dynamics Software, and in each case subject to Section 4.2, use any information or data derived or learned from Customer Data or Support Data, but only if such use does not include or disclose Customer Data or Support Data and no Customer Data or Support Data can be reverse engineered from such use. All rights not expressly granted in this Agreement are reserved. 21Vianet will not use Customer Data or Support Data, or derive information from either, for advertising or similar commercial purposes without Customer’s permission.
3.5 Confidentiality. Each party will: (A) protect the other party’s Confidential Information shared under this Agreement from unauthorized dissemination with the same degree of care it uses to protect its own like information, but never less than reasonable care; (B) use the other party’s Confidential Information solely as necessary to perform under this Agreement; and (C) not disclose the other party’s Confidential Information to any third party without such other party’s prior written permission in each case. Confidential Information may, however, be disclosed in accordance with a judicial or other governmental order, if the party complying with such order either gives reasonable notice of such disclosure to allow the other party a reasonable opportunity to seek a protective order or equivalent; or obtains legally binding assurance from the applicable judicial or governmental entity that it will afford the Confidential Information the level of protection available in the same manner it protects the confidentiality of its proprietary and confidential information of like kind under applicable law, or otherwise as may be required by law. Confidential Information may also be disclosed to the receiving party’s personnel (who are bound by written confidentiality obligations not less restrictive than those of this Agreement) and its Affiliates, in each case solely to the extent such personnel or Affiliates reasonably need to know such Confidential Information for proper performance of this Agreement. The confidentiality obligation in this Section 3.5 applies for (x) Customer Data, and Support Data until it is deleted from the Online Service; (y) Previews unless and until they are made publicly available; and (z) all other Confidential Information, for a period of five (5) years after a party receives the Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means nonpublic information that the disclosing party designates as being confidential, or that, under the circumstances surrounding disclosure, ought to be treated as confidential; Previews are deemed 21Vianet’s Confidential Information; and Customer Data, Support Data, and the terms of 21Vianet agreements are also Confidential Information. Confidential Information does not include information that (1) becomes publicly available without a breach of a confidentiality obligation; (2) the receiving party received lawfully from another source without a confidentiality obligation; (3) is independently developed; or (4) is Feedback.
3.6 Downtime. 21Vianet may schedule interruptions to the Online Service for upgrades, updates, or other maintenance (“Scheduled Downtime”). 21Vianet will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer of Scheduled Downtime in advance. Customer may not be able to access or use the Online Service, any Dynamics Software, or any Non-21Vianet Product during Scheduled Downtime; such lack of access is deemed not to breach this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, there are no service level guarantees or uptime requirements applicable to the Online Service, except if, and solely to the extent, expressly stated to the contrary in the Services Portal.
Section 4. DATA PROTECTION.
4.1 Data Retention and Deletion. During the Term, Customer can access, extract, and delete Customer Data stored in the Online Service. Except for free trials and Previews and except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.1, 21Vianet will retain Customer Data stored in the Online Service in a limited function account for 90 days after Customer’s access to the Online Service ends so that Customer may extract the data. After the 90-day retention period ends, 21Vianet will disable Customer’s account and delete the Customer Data and Personal Data within an additional 90 days unless 21Vianet is: (A) permitted or required by applicable law or regulation to retain such data; (B) authorized in this Agreement; or (C) solely to the extent that, Customer has multiple roles within the Online Service and some of the Customer Data or Personal Data is common to more than one such role, in which case 21Vianet will retain such common data until Customer’s access to the Online Service ends as applicable to all such roles). The Online Service may not support retention or extraction of any Non-21Vianet Product provided by Customer. For purposes of this Section 4.1, “Customer’s access to the Online Service” is deemed to end as soon as Customer has no executory subscription to, or executory support agreement for, any Dependent Software (defined in Section 6.2). 21Vianet has no liability for the deletion of Customer Data or Personal Data as described in this Section 4.1.
4.2 Data Protection Terms. This Agreement includes, and incorporates by reference, those portions of the OST entitled “Data Protection Terms” or otherwise expressly pertaining to data processing or protection (including the Standard Contractual Clauses and the European Union General Data Protection Regulation Terms, each as incorporated in the OST), but expressly excluding any terms specific to particular, named online services. Solely for purposes of interpreting terms incorporated from the OST in the context of this Agreement, to the extent such incorporated terms reference any definitions defined both in this Agreement and the OST, the definitions in this Agreement will apply.
4.3 Data Location. 21Vianet will store Customer Data only in China, except when 21Vianet uses Microsoft Azure Email Orchestrator to send system-generated emails that provide acknowledgement or status update of a service request to users of the Online Service. The recipient’s email address and the email content will be stored in the United States for a limited period of time. Customer consents to the transmission of this information.
4.4 Security Practices and Policy. 21Vianet will implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Customer Data and Personal Data. Those measures will be set forth in a 21Vianet Security Policy. 21Vianet will make that policy available to Customer, along with descriptions of the security controls in place for the Online Service and other information reasonably requested by Customer regarding 21Vianet security practices and policies. In addition, those measures will comply with the requirements set forth in ISO 27001, ISO 27002, and ISO 27018. 21Vianet will not eliminate ISO 27001, ISO 27002, or ISO 27018 unless it is no longer used in the industry and it is replaced with a successor (if any).
4.5 How to Contact 21Vianet. If Customer believes that 21Vianet is not adhering to its privacy or security commitments, Customer may contact customer support on this website: https://www.21vbluecloud.com/Dynamics365/.
Section 5. DEALINGS WITH THIRD PARTIES.
21Vianet may make Non-21Vianet Products available to Customer through Customer’s use of the Online Service (such as through a store or gallery or other integration). Customer’s use of Non-21Vianet Products may be subject to the third party’s terms and conditions. If Customer installs or uses any Non-21Vianet Product with the Online Service or any Dynamics Software, Customer may not do so in any way that would subject 21Vianet’s intellectual property to obligations beyond those in this Agreement. 21Vianet assumes no responsibility or liability for any Non-21Vianet Product (including any of Customer’s intellectual property in any such Non-21Vianet Product). If Customer installs or uses any Non-21Vianet Product with the Online Service or any Dynamics Software: (A) as between 21Vianet and Customer, Customer is solely responsible for such Non-21Vianet Product and will comply with all applicable policies and processes 21Vianet may implement; and (B) effective as of when Customer first made such Non-21Vianet Product available to 21Vianet and continuing until 21Vianet has deleted such Non-21Vianet Product from its systems, Customer grants 21Vianet a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up license to host, use, distribute, reproduce, and otherwise provide worldwide access to such Non-21Vianet Product.
Section 6. CHANGES TO THE ONLINE SERVICE.
6.1 Changes and Cancelation. Except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, 21Vianet may change the Online Service or corresponding Dynamics Software at any time, without notice. Customer may cancel the Online Service on 30 days’ prior notice to 21Vianet.
6.2 Discontinuing. 21Vianet will provide a minimum of 12 months’ notification prior to ending support for the Online Service if no successor or service is offered, excluding free trial services or Previews. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, however, 21Vianet will not discontinue the Online Service solely to the extent the Online Service is necessary for Customer to access or use any Dynamics Software (“Dependent Software”), Customer maintains either an executory subscription to, or an executory support agreement for, the Dependent Software, and the discontinuation would prevent such access or use.
Section 7. TERM AND TERMINATION.
7.1 Term. The term of this Agreement (“Term”) begins on the earliest date when Customer or its signatory agrees to be bound (“Effective Date”), as described in the first paragraph of this Agreement, and will continue until terminated.
7.2 Termination. Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately on notice if the other party has breached this Agreement and failed to cure such breach within 30 days after notice of the breach. Customer may also terminate this Agreement, for any reason or no reason, on 60 days’ prior notice to 21Vianet. This Agreement will terminate automatically if the Online Service is discontinued in accordance with Section 6. If this Agreement is terminated with respect to Customer for any reason, it will automatically terminate with respect to all Permitted Users.
7.3 Survival. The following sections will survive termination of this Agreement: Sections 1 (Definitions), 3.2 (Feedback), 3.5 (Confidentiality, as stated in this section), 7.3 (Survival), 8 (Warranties and Disclaimers), 9 (21Vianet’s Defense of Infringement Claims), 10 (Customer’s Defense of Claims), 11 (Limitations on Liability), and 12 (General). The terms incorporated from the OST to the extent they are intended to survive as stated in the OST.
Section 8. WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS.
8.1 By Customer. In addition to the warranty in the preamble of this Agreement, Customer continuously represents and warrants to 21Vianet that: (A) it will not use the Online Service for any purpose or in any way that subjects 21Vianet to any obligations outside of this Agreement; (B) it has all rights necessary to grant the licenses granted under this Agreement; (C) it has or will obtain and maintain all necessary rights to Customer Data, Support Data, and any other data, software, and services (including any Non-21Vianet Products and other third-party content and materials) used in connection with the Online Service; (D) 21Vianet’s use of any Customer Data and Support Data, and exercise of the rights and licenses granted under this Agreement, does not and will not misappropriate or infringe the intellectual property or other proprietary rights of any third party or otherwise violate any law; and (E) Customer Data and Support Data do not include state secrets or, if any Customer Data or Support Data does constitute state secrets, that Customer has obtained necessary approvals to disclose state secrets to 21Vianet and its Affiliates, contractors, and suppliers.
8.2 Disclaimer. The Online Service, any Services Portal, Dynamics Software, and any technology, materials, systems, infrastructure, or information provided by 21Vianet or its suppliers in connection with the Online Service are provided “as is”, without any warranty. 21Vianet disclaims all warranties (express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, satisfactory quality, non-infringement, title, and any warranties arising out of any course of dealing or usage of trade). These disclaimers will apply unless otherwise required by applicable law.
8.3 High-Risk Activities. 21Vianet, on behalf of itself and its suppliers, disclaims any express or implied warranty of fitness of the Online Service for high-risk activities, including operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication systems, air traffic control, direct life support machines, or weapons systems.
Section 9. 21VIANET’S DEFENSE OF CERTAIN THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS.
9.1 Duty and Process. Subject to Sections 9.1 and 9.2, 21Vianet will: (A) defend Customer, Customer’s Affiliates, and each of its or their subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees, agents, or independent contractors against an unaffiliated third party’s claim alleging the Online Service, as provided by 21Vianet and used as licensed under this Agreement, infringes or misappropriates that third party’s intellectual property rights (“21Vianet Indemnified Claim”); and (B) pay any resulting adverse final judgment for a 21Vianet Indemnified Claim (or settlement to which 21Vianet consents). Customer will: (y) notify 21Vianet promptly of a 21Vianet Indemnified Claim and give 21Vianet sole control over the defense and settlement, although Customer may participate at its own expense; and (z) provide 21Vianet with reasonable assistance to defend any 21Vianet Indemnified Claim. 21Vianet will not be responsible for any settlement made by Customer without 21Vianet’s prior written permission (not unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld). 21Vianet’s obligations to defend and pay a patent claim will be limited to patent claims where the Online Service alone, without combination or modification, constitutes direct or contributory infringement of the patent.
9.2 Limitations. 21Vianet’s obligations under this Section 9 will not apply to the extent a 21Vianet Indemnified Claim, adverse final judgment, or settlement is based on: (A) any Customer Data, Support Data, Non-21Vianet Product, links to third party websites, or non-21Vianet content or materials; (B) Customer’s use of any portion of the Online Service after 21Vianet notifies Customer to stop using it due to a third-party claim, if damages would not have accrued but for the continued use; (C) Customer’s combination of any portion of the Online Service with anything not provided by or on behalf of 21Vianet, to the extent the claim arises from the combination; (D) damages attributable to the value of the use of any Non-21Vianet Product; (E) Customer’s use of any 21Vianet trademark(s) without 21Vianet’s express, prior, written consent; (F) Customer’s use of any Preview in a production or “live operating” environment (unless otherwise expressly stated in a separate, written agreement with 21Vianet); (G) Customer’s use of the Online Service in a manner that violates this Agreement to the extent the claim arises from the violation; or (H) allegations that Customer acquired a trade secret: (1) through improper means; (2) under circumstances giving rise to a duty to maintain its secrecy or limit its use; or (3) from any party (other than 21Vianet) who owed the third-party claimant a duty to maintain the secrecy or limit use of the trade secret. Customer will reimburse 21Vianet for any costs or damages resulting from any of the above actions. Moreover, 21Vianet will have no obligation under this Section 9 to the extent any claim, adverse final judgment, or settlement arises out of or relates to Dynamics Software (as opposed to the Online Service); 21Vianet’s obligations to defend and settle any such claims, or to pay any such judgments or settlements, related to Dynamics Software are set forth, if at all, in the agreement under which Customer was given access to, and a right to access and use, such Dynamics Software.
9.3 Specific Rights and Remedies.
9.3.1 Possible Infringement. If 21Vianet receives information concerning a 21Vianet Indemnified Claim, 21Vianet may, at its expense, either: (A) procure for Customer the right to continue using the allegedly infringing portion of the Online Service; (B) modify the allegedly infringing portion of the Online Service to make it non-infringing; or (C) replace the allegedly infringing portion of the Online Service with a non-infringing functional equivalent. Customer will immediately stop using the allegedly infringing Online Service after receiving 21Vianet’s notice. If any other type of third party claim is brought against Customer regarding 21Vianet’s intellectual property rights, Customer must notify 21Vianet promptly in writing. 21Vianet may, at 21Vianet’s option, choose to treat these claims as being covered by Section 9.
9.3.2 Exclusive Remedy. This Section 9 states Customer’s exclusive remedy and 21Vianet’s sole duty regarding 21Vianet Indemnified Claims (to the extent 21Vianet does not breach this Section 9).
Section 10. CUSTOMER’S DEFENSE OF CLAIMS.
10.1 Duty and Process. Customer will defend 21Vianet, 21Vianet’s Affiliates, and each of its or their subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees, agents, or independent contractors against any claim made by an unaffiliated third party (“Customer Indemnified Claim”): (A) that alleges Customer Data, Support Data, Non-21Vianet Products, other non-21Vianet content or materials, or Customer’s (including non-21Vianet Permitted Users’) use of the Online Service (excluding only claims for which 21Vianet is obligated to defend and pay under Section 9) infringes or misappropriates that third party’s intellectual property rights; (B) that if true as alleged, reflects a breach by Customer of this Agreement; (C) that relates to any dispute of any kind or nature between Customer and a non-21Vianet Permitted User, whether arising under or related to a Permitted User TOU or otherwise; (D) that relates to Customer’s use of a Preview in a production or “live operating” environment; (E) that arises out of or relates to a Non-21Vianet Product, including any product liability claims; or (F) for which 21Vianet’s liability would have been reduced had Customer effectively bound the applicable Permitted User to a Permitted User TOU under Section 2.5.1. Customer will also pay any resulting adverse final judgment for a Customer Indemnified Claim (or settlement to which Customer consents). 21Vianet will notify Customer of a Customer Indemnified Claim and give Customer, through competent counsel chosen by Customer (in consultation with 21Vianet), control over defense and settlement, although 21Vianet may participate at its own expense. Customer will not, without 21Vianet’s express, prior, written consent (not unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld), acquiesce to any judgment or enter into any settlement that adversely affects 21Vianet’s rights or interests or obligates 21Vianet to pay any sums not fully paid by Customer, at the time of settlement, under this Section 10.1. Customer will not stipulate, admit, or acknowledge any fault or liability on 21Vianet’s part without 21Vianet’s express, prior, written permission. Customer will not be responsible for any settlement made by 21Vianet without Customer’s written permission (not unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld). 21Vianet will also provide Customer with reasonable assistance to defend any Customer Indemnified Claim, at Customer’s reasonable request and expense.
10.2 Exclusive Remedy. This Section 10 states 21Vianet’s exclusive remedy and Customer’s sole duty regarding any Customer Indemnified Claim (to the extent Customer does not breach this Section 10).
Section 11. LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY.
11.1 Liability Cap. Subject to Section 11.3 and to the extent permitted by applicable law, each party’s total aggregate liability to the other for all claims related to this Agreement is limited to direct damages incurred in reasonable reliance, in an amount not to exceed 50 RMB. These limitations apply whether liability is based on breach of contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, breach of warranties, or any other theory. For clarity, 21Vianet has no liability at all under any Permitted User TOU between Customer and any non-21Vianet Permitted User.
11.2 Excluded Damages. To the extent permitted by applicable law, whatever the legal basis for the claim, neither party, nor any of its Affiliates, suppliers, or contractors, will be liable for any indirect damages (including consequential, special, punitive, or incidental damages, or damages for lost profits or revenues, business interruption, or loss of business information) arising under or related to this Agreement, even if advised such damages were possible or if the possibility was reasonably foreseeable.
11.3 Applicability. The limitations in Section 11.1 and exclusions in Section 11.2 will not apply to: (A) violation or misappropriation of the other party’s intellectual property rights; (B) duties under, or breach of, Sections 9 or 10; (C) damages attributable to a party’s or its agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (in jurisdictions that do not recognize a legal distinction between “gross negligence” and “negligence”, “gross negligence” means “recklessness”); (D) bodily injury or death caused by a party’s negligence or that of its employees or agents; (E) fraud; or (F) breach of obligations regarding Confidential Information (except as related to Customer Data or Support Data, which are subject to the limitations in Section 11.1 and exclusions in Section 11.2). In addition, the limitations in Section 11.1 will not apply to fees, if any, payable for the Online Service.
11.4 Comparative Fault. Neither party nor its Affiliates will be responsible for any damages to the extent caused by the error, negligence, or fault of the other or such other’s agents or Permitted Users (although the foregoing in this Section 11.4 will not apply to insulate 21Vianet from applicable liability when 21Vianet is acting as Customer’s Permitted User).
11.5 Liability for Others. Customer will be liable for any use of the Online Service, or any actions taken or omitted (including with regard to Non-21Vianet Products or other non-21Vianet content or materials, Customer Data, or Support Data), by any Permitted User (other than 21Vianet) to which Customer provides access to the Online Service. Actions or failures to act of any Permitted User (other than 21Vianet) related to the Online Service (and any other acts or omissions of any Permitted User that would have breached this Agreement had Customer so acted or failed to act) will be imputed to Customer. 21Vianet is not liable in any way for harm or damages related to Customer’s (or its non-21Vianet Permitted Users) interactions with third parties, third-party websites, or any third party acting on Customer’s behalf.
Section 12. GENERAL.
12.1 Agreement Changes. 21Vianet may periodically change this Agreement. When changes are made, 21Vianet will notify Customer (in accordance with Section 12.14 or via other commercially reasonable means) and will post a new version of the applicable document on the Services Portal, which will include all changes and a new “Last Revised” date. If Customer does not agree to a change, it must cancel or stop using the Online Service. By continuing to access or use the Online Service after a change is posted, Customer is bound by the change and this Agreement.
12.2 Availability. 21Vianet makes no representation that the Online Service is appropriate or available for use in all geographic locations. If Customer accesses or uses any portion of the Online Service from outside a country for which the Online Service was intended, Customer does so at its own risk and is solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws.
12.3 Applicable Law. The 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and its related instruments will not apply to this Agreement. The Online Service, 21Vianet software, and Dynamics Software are protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights laws and international treaties. The laws of the People’s Republic of China apply to this Agreement.
12.4 Venue and Jurisdiction. Any action or dispute related to this Agreement will be decided by binding arbitration. The arbitration will be at the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission in Beijing (“CIETAC”) according to its then current rules. This Section 12.4 does not prevent either party from seeking injunctive relief for violation of intellectual property rights or confidentiality obligations in any appropriate jurisdiction.
12.5 Disputes. Before either party (or any of its personnel) files a claim in accordance with Section 12.4, it will provide 60 days’ prior written notice to the other and, within such 60-day period (or longer, if extended by the parties’ mutual agreement), the parties’ authorized representatives will work in good faith to resolve the dispute.
12.6 Attorneys’ Fees. In any dispute related to this Agreement, the prevailing party, including on any appeal, will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.
12.7 Severability. If any part of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, it will be deemed replaced by an enforceable section that matches the intent of the original language as closely as possible. The rest of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.
12.8 Assignment. 21Vianet may assign this Agreement, in whole or part, at any time without notice, including to a non-21Vianet entity. Customer may not assign this Agreement, or any rights or duties under it, without 21Vianet’s prior, written consent. Any attempted assignment by Customer without such consent is void.
12.9 Third Party Beneficiaries. There are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement.
12.10 Relationship. The parties are independent contractors. Customer will not represent itself as a representative, agent, or employee of 21Vianet. This Agreement does not create a joint venture, partnership, agency, fiduciary, or employment relationship. 21Vianet and its suppliers are independent entities, and 21Vianet is neither liable for, nor bound by, any acts of such third parties. For avoidance of doubt, there is no partnership relationship between 21Vianet and Customer.
12.11 Compliance with Law. 21Vianet will comply with all laws and regulations applicable to its provision of the Online Service, including security breach notification laws. 21Vianet is not, however, responsible for compliance with any laws or regulations applicable to Customer or Customer’s industry that are not generally applicable to information technology service providers. 21Vianet does not determine whether Customer Data or Support Data includes information subject to any specific law or regulation.
Customer will comply with all laws and regulations applicable to Customer Data and its use of the Online Service, including all domestic and international export laws and regulations that apply to any software, which include restrictions on destinations, end users, and end use. Customer is responsible for implementing and maintaining privacy protections and security measures for components that Customer provides or controls, and for determining whether the Online Service is appropriate for storage and processing of information subject to any specific law or regulation. Customer is responsible for responding to any request from a third party regarding Customer’s use of the Online Service, such as a request to take down content under applicable law and regulation.
In addition to the foregoing in this Section 12.11, Customer acknowledges that under Chinese regulations:
An Internet information service provider shall not produce, reproduce, publish or disseminate information that includes the following content (“Prohibited Content”). Prohibited Content is content that:
- is against the basic principles determined by the Constitution of China;

- is otherwise prohibited by laws or administrative regulations.
If an Internet information service provider discovers that information distributed on its website falls within the scope of the Prohibited Content, it will promptly terminate the distribution, keep relevant records, and report to the relevant authorities.
Customer further agrees:
- If the business or organization Customer operates by using the Online Service is subject to permit or approval by related governmental authorities, Customer will obtain such related permit or approval, including without limitation:
- if Customer’s website provides non-operational Internet information services, Customer will make the filing for the non-operational website with the governmental authority;
- if Customer’s website provides operational Internet information services, Customer will obtain the VAT permit for an operational website from the governmental authority; and

12.14 Notices. Except as otherwise provided under Section 4.4, notices made under this Agreement will be provided as follows:
12.14.1 To Customer.

Customer will be deemed to have received any email sent to any such email address when 21Vianet sends the email, whether Customer received the email or not.
