Creative and technical professionals spend hours waiting for the latest build to download just to review one small change.

Expensive Workaround

Hire resources to build tools and processes in-house from scratch or settle for multiple incomplete solutions.

Limited by Hardware

Pick which builds to keep on the hard drive because files are so large. Download, delete and repeat.

Broken Security Processes

Use FTP servers and one-time passcodes to share distributions and files.

After ADT

ACCELBYTE TERMS OF SERVICE

This Accelbyte Master Service Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into by and between Accelbyte, Inc., a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business at 16100 NE 117th Street Redmond, WA 98052 ("Accelbyte"), and the customer identified on one or more applicable Orders ("Customer"). This Agreement sets forth the terms pursuant to which Customer will be permitted to use certain of Accelbyte web-based services. The parties agree as follows.

1. Accelbyte Service.

1.1 Rights to the Service. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any additional restrictions or limitations set forth in an applicable order referencing this Agreement, including without limitation, any order placed through the Accelbyte website (each, an "Order"), Accelbyte hereby grants Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide right and license during the Term to access the Accelbyte service described in the applicable Order, by the number of users and at the usage level described in the applicable Order (the "Service"). For the purpose of this Agreement, "Monthly Active User" ("MAU") means the aggregate number of unique devices that have launched an applicable application identified (and captured by) the Accelbyte API that is integrated into Customer's applications over a rolling 30 days subject to reasonable approval and audit from Customer. The term "Seat License" as used in an Order means a single authorized user of Customer's that may access and use the applicable product or service. Customer may change its authorized per-seat users from time to time by providing written notice to Accelbyte. Per Seat Licenses are offered on a tiered pricing basis. If Customer adds additional Seat Licenses mid-way through a given subscription term, the prorated fee for the remainder of the term will applied based on the pricing tier applicable to the new number of Seats. In the event that Customer exceeds the limits on the number of MAU or Seat Licenses specified in an applicable Order, Accelbyte will invoice Customer, and Customer shall pay for such excess use at the overage rates specified in the applicable Order or otherwise specified within the Service itself. Accelbyte will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Service in compliance with the Service Level Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A.

1.2 Updates. At no charge to Customer, Accelbyte shall install on its servers any software updates deemed reasonably necessary to address errors, bugs or other performance issues in the Service (collectively, "Updates"). Updates (if any) shall be subject to the same license terms and conditions of this Agreement.

1.3 API Key Access. If applicable to the Service specified in the applicable Order, Accelbyte will provide, within two (2) business days of the Effective Date of the applicable Order, a unique API-Key and provide access to the Service. Such key will uniquely identify Customer in Accelbyte's database. Customer shall be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of such API-Key and will be responsible for any activity using such key.

1.4 Restrictions and License Conditions. Customer shall not, directly, indirectly: (a) attempt to sell, transfer, assign, rent, lend, lease, sublicense or otherwise provide third parties rights to the Service; (b) "frame," "mirror," copy or otherwise enable third parties to use the Service (or any component thereof) as a service bureau or other outsourced service; (c) allow access to the Service by multiple individuals impersonating a single end user; (d) use the Service in a manner that interferes with, degrades, or disrupts the integrity or performance of any Accelbyte technologies, services, systems or other offerings, including data transmission, storage and backup; (e) use the Service for the purpose of developing a product or service that competes with the Accelbyte products and services; (f) alter, remove or modify any proprietary marks, images or terms of use included in or displayed as part of the Service; (g) circumvent or disable any security features or functionality associated with Service; (h) reverse engineer or attempt to decompile any software provided to Customer by Accelbyte; or (i) use the Service in any manner prohibited by law.

1.5 Acceptable Use Policy. Customer shall comply with Accelbyte's Acceptable Use Policy, published at www.accelbyte.com/aup, as updated by Accelbyte from time to time. Accelbyte may suspend or terminate Service if Customer violates Accelbyte's Acceptable Use Policy. Accelbyte will endeavor to provide Customer with reasonable notice upon suspending or terminating all or part of the Service for this reason.

1.6 Reservation of Rights. Accelbyte, its suppliers and licensors reserve all rights not expressly granted to Customer.

1.7 Delivery of Service and Materials. The Service, and any updates or maintenance releases thereof, shall be made available only on a hosted basis, and will not be delivered in object code or physical media to Customer. The Service, and any deliverables provided under this Agreement will be delivered only through an electronic transfer. 1.8 Early Access or Beta License. If an applicable Order indicates that the Service is provided for evaluation, beta, or early access purposes (an "Evaluation License"), the Evaluation License shall terminate on the end date of the pre-determined evaluation period or immediately upon notice from Accelbyte at its sole discretion. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, Service provided pursuant to an Evaluation License is provided on an "AS IS" basis, without indemnification, support, or warranty of any kind, express or implied.

1.9 Self-Hosting. If an applicable Order indicates that Accelbyte will operate the Service from a Customer-controlled Amazon Web Services EC2 instance, Customer will provide Accelbyte with ongoing access to Customer's AWS instance to enable Accelbyte to access and operate the Service from that instance. Customer will not copy, modify, distribute or create derivative works of the software that Accelbyte provides, and will not interfere with or attempt to circumvent any security measures included with the Accelbyte software. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, Customer will delete all copies of the Accelbyte software present on Customer-controlled instances. All software provided by Accelbyte under this Section 1.9 is considered the Confidential Information of Accelbyte and subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 4 below.

In the event that any Fees are not paid when due, Accelbyte may suspend access to the Service, with or without notice, at Accelbyte's sole discretion, and a 10% late fee will be imposed with respect to any unpaid amounts. In the event that Customer account is more than thirty days in arrears, Customer will pay interest on such overdue amounts at a rate of 1.5% per month (or the maximum permitted by law). In the event of Service suspension due to non-payment, if Customer wants to re-start the Service, all back fees plus another initial setup fee must be paid prior to the re-start.

Customer has no obligation to give Accelbyte any suggestions, comments or other feedback ("Feedback") relating to the Service or other current or potential Accelbyte products or services. However, Accelbyte may use and include any Feedback that Customer provides to improve the Service or other Accelbyte products, services, software and technologies. Accordingly, if Customer provides Feedback, Customer grants Accelbyte and its affiliates and subsidiaries a worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free, perpetual license to, directly or indirectly, use, reproduce, license, sublicense, distribute, make, have made, sell and otherwise commercialize the Feedback in the Service or other products, services, software and technologies.
