reports, information, know-how or other feedback provided by you (whether
in oral, electronic or written form) to Splunk in connection with your

results or output created or generated by you using the Pre-Release
Software, unless submitted or communicated by you to Splunk.
Internal Purposes means internal business use with your systems,
networks, devices and data for the purposes of internal testing and
evaluation of the Pre-Release Software in order to provide Feedback to

for a third party<74>s benefit.
2.PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE LICENSE. Subject to your compliance with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, Splunk grants you a non-exclusive, non-
sublicensable, nontransferable, revocable, limited license during the
term of the Agreement to use a single copy of the Pre-Release Software at
your principal office in a secure location, only in connection with and
solely for the Internal Purposes.
3.LICENSE RESTRICTIONS. Except as expressly authorized in this Agreement
or by Splunk, you will not, and will not permit any third party to: (i)
access or use the Pre-Release Software for any other purposes than the
Internal Purposes (including for any competitive analysis, commercial,

Software (except as required to run the Pre-Release Software and for
reasonable backup purposes); (iii) modify, adapt, or create derivative
works of the Pre-Release Software; (iv) rent, lease, loan, resell,

Software, or (viii) remove, alter, obscure, cover or change any
trademark, copyright or other proprietary notices, labels or markings
from or on the Pre-Release Software; (ix) interfere with or disrupt
servers or networks connected to any website through which the Pre-
Release Software provided; or (x) use the Pre-Release Software to collect
or store personal data about any person or entity. Any consultant,
contractor, or agent hired to perform services for you may operate the
Pre-Release Software on your behalf under these terms and conditions,
provided that: (a) you are responsible for ensuring that any such third
party agrees to abide by and fully comply with the terms of this
Agreement on the same basis as applicable to you; (b) such use is only in
connection with your Internal Purposes; (c) such use does not represent
or constitute an increase in the scope of the licenses provided
hereunder; and (d) you remain fully liable for any and all acts or
omissions by such third parties related to this Agreement. Any violation
of this Section shall be a material breach of this Agreement subject to
immediate termination of this Agreement for which no notice from Splunk
shall be required.
4.CONFIDENTIALITY. You agree to hold the Pre-Release Software (including
all intellectual property rights therein, such as any patents,
inventions, copyrights, design rights, trade secrets and know-how) and
any related information (Confidential Information), whether in oral or
written form, confidential. Confidential Information may include
information relating to features, functionalities, improvements, code,
pricing, business strategies, product roadmaps, development plans,
marketing materials, data sets, customer lists or other proprietary
third-party information. You will hold such Confidential Information in
strict confidence and not use or disclose the Confidential Information,
in whole or in part, except as expressly permitted in this
Agreement. You may disclose Confidential Information to your employees,
but only to the extent they have a need to know to test the Pre-Release
Software and you have advised them that such information is Confidential.
You agree to instruct any such employees in advance who will have access
to the Pre-Release Software that they must comply with the restrictions
set forth in this Agreement. You shall have no obligation to maintain
the confidentiality of any information which: (a) is or becomes publicly
available without breach of this Agreement; (b) is rightfully received by
you from a third party without an obligation of confidentiality and
without breach of this Agreement; (c) is developed independently by you
without access to or use of the Confidential Information; or (d) has been
approved for release by written authorization of the party that owns the
Confidential Information. You will notify immediately upon discovery of
any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information or any
other breach of this Agreement by you or your personnel, and will
cooperate with Splunk in every reasonable way to help Splunk regain
possession of the Confidential Information and prevent its further
unauthorized use or disclosure. You acknowledge that any breach of its
obligations under this Agreement with respect to the proprietary rights
or Confidential Information will cause Splunk irreparable injury for
which there are inadequate remedies at law, and therefore, Splunk will be
entitled to equitable relief in addition to all other remedies provided
by this Agreement or available at law or in equity.
5.TERM AND TERMINATION. This Agreement will be effective from the earlier
of (a) the date it is accepted by you and (b) the date on which you first
installed, downloaded or accessed a copy of the Pre-Release Software and
shall continue until terminated. This Agreement may be terminated at any
time by either party, with or without cause, effective upon notice of
termination. This Agreement will terminate automatically upon the end of
the Pre-Release Software project as identified on the Cover Page or upon
commercial release (if any) of the Pre-Release Software, whichever is
earlier. This is time-sensitive software, so it will stop functioning on
the termination date. Upon termination, you will immediately cease all
use of the Pre-Release Software and destroy the Pre-Release Software, or
upon request by Splunk, return to Splunk the Pre-Release Software and
other Confidential Information that are in your possession or
control. Upon Splunk<6E>s request, you will certify in writing that you
have returned or destroyed all copies of the Pre-Release Software and
Confidential Information. Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 15, and
16 will survive termination of this Agreement.

15.CHOICE OF LAW AND DISPUTES. For other than the U.S. Government as a

with the laws of the State of California, as if performed wholly within
the state and without giving effect to the principles of conflict of law
rules of any jurisdiction or the United Nations Convention on Contracts
for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is
expressly excluded. Any legal action or proceeding arising under this
Agreement will be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts
located in San Francisco, California and the parties hereby consent to
personal jurisdiction and venue therein.
16.GENERAL. All notices required or permitted under this Agreement hereto

herein shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement
will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties<65> permitted successors
and assigns. This Agreement along with any additional terms incorporated
herein by reference constitute the complete and exclusive understanding
and agreement between the parties relating only to the subject matter of
the Pre-Release Software and Confidential Information and shall supersede
any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications and
understandings, written or oral, relating to such subject matter. This
Agreement is limited to the use of Pre-Release Software and Confidential
Information and as such, this Agreement is separate from and shall have
no effect on any other agreement you may have with Splunk. Any waiver,
modification or amendment of any provision of this Agreement will be
effective only if in writing and signed by duly authorized
representatives of both parties. All rights and remedies, whether
conferred hereunder or by any other instrument or law, will be cumulative
and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. The failure by either
party to enforce any provisions of this Agreement will not constitute a
waiver of any other right hereunder or of any subsequent enforcement of
that or any other provisions. The terms and conditions stated herein are
declared to be severable. If a court of competent jurisdiction holds any
provision of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable, the remaining
provisions of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect, and the
provision affected will be construed so as to be enforceable to the
maximum extent permissible by law.
