2. Retool Responsibilities for the Services
2.1. Provision of Services. Retool will make the Services purchased under an Order Form available to Customer pursuant to this Agreement. With respect to the Cloud Services, Retool will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Services available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, except for planned downtime of which, to the extent exceeding five continuous minutes, Retool gives at least 48 hours’ notice via the Services.
2.2. Service Performance and Features. Retool warrants that (a) the Services will perform materially in accordance with the applicable Documentation; and (b) subject to the “Non-Retool Products” section, Retool will not materially decrease the functionality of the Services during a subscription term.

Those safeguards will include measures for preventing unauthorized access, use, modification, deletion and disclosure of Customer Data by Retool personnel. Before providing necessary access to Customer Data to a third-party service provider of Retool, Retool will ensure that the third-party maintains reasonable data practices for maintaining the confidentiality and security of the Customer Data and preventing unauthorized access to or use of the Customer Data. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer bears sole responsibility for adequate security, protection and backup of Customer Data when in Customer’s or its representatives or agents’ possession or control.

For the purposes of the Standard Contractual Clauses, if applicable, Customer and its applicable Affiliates are each the data exporter, and Customer's acceptance of this Agreement, and an applicable Affiliate's execution of an Order Form, shall be treated as its execution of the Standard Contractual Clauses and Appendices as detailed in the DPA
2.5. Retool Personnel. Retool will be responsible for the performance of Retool’s personnel (including Retool’s employees and independent contractors) and their compliance with Retool’s obligations under this Agreement.

Unless otherwise specified in an applicable Order Form, (a) Services are purchased as Authorized User subscriptions; (b) Authorized User subscriptions may be priced differently depending on levels of access and use (e.g., ‘Standard User’ that builds a Custom App versus its ‘End User)’; and (c) additional Authorized User subscriptions may be added via the Services interface by Customer or by Order Form during the applicable subscription term at the same pricing as that for the pre-existing subscriptions thereunder, prorated for the remainder of the subscription term in effect at the time the additional Authorized User subscriptions are added. Authorized User subscriptions cannot be shared or used by more than one Authorized User, nor may Customer circumvent or bypass any fees that are charged on a per-Authorized User or per-Custom App basis, as described in the applicable Order Form.
3.2. Customer Affiliates. Customer Affiliates may purchase and use the Services subject to the terms of this Agreement by executing Order Forms that incorporate this Agreement by reference, and in each such case (a) all references to “Customer” in this Agreement will be deemed to refer to such Customer Affiliate for the purposes of such Order Form; and (b) such Customer Affiliate agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

3.5. HIPAA Compliance. Customer acknowledges that Retool is not a Business Associate or subcontractor (as those terms are defined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and related amendments and regulations as updated or replaced “HIPAA”) and accordingly, Customer is solely responsible for complying with any obligations thereunder.

If Customer connects, installs or enables Non-Retool Products for use with the Services or any Custom Apps, Customer acknowledges that providers of those Non-Retool Products may have access to Customer Data in connection with the interoperation and support of such Non-Retool Products with the Services and Custom Apps. To the extent Customer authorizes the access or transmission of Customer Data through a Non-Retool Product, Retool will not be responsible for any use, disclosure, modification or deletion of such Customer Data.

Retool may collect and analyze information relating to the use, configuration and performance of the Services (collectively “Usage Information”) for purposes of improving the Services. Customer understands that given the nature of the Services, whether it be a shared platform, multi-tenant environment, and/or unified code base, any improvements Retool derives from Usage Information may benefit Customer, as well as other customers generally; provided that, in no event will any use of Usage Information result in the identification of Customer to any third party (e.g., other customers) or the disclosure of Confidential Information that is not first aggregated or de-identified.

Upon any termination for cause by Customer, Retool will refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of all subscriptions after the effective date of termination. Upon any termination for cause by Retool, Customer will pay any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the term of all Order Forms after the effective date of termination. In no event will any termination relieve Customer of the obligation to pay any fees payable to Retool for the period prior to the effective date of termination.
8.4. Portability and Deletion of Customer Data for Cloud Services. During the Term, Customer will be permitted to export Customer Data via the Cloud Services; provided, that Customer acknowledges and agrees that such ability to export may be limited by the applicable Services plan in effect, Customer’s particular configuration of Custom Apps, and the data retention settings enabled by Customer. For up to thirty (30) days past termination of this Agreement, to the extent Customer Data has not already been deleted by Customer, Customer may request Retool to provide a copy of Customer Data still stored by Retool. Following the expiration of such thirty (30) day term, Retool shall have no obligation to maintain or provide any Customer Data or Custom Apps.

10.5. Scope of Limitation. The limitations hereunder apply with respect to all legal theories, whether in contract, tort or otherwise.
