Updated as of November 21, 2024
These Spanning Product Terms of Use (“Terms of Use”) govern your use of the Spanning Products and Services (collectively referred to herein as the “Product” or “Spanning”). By purchasing or using the Product, you agree to be bound by the Kaseya Master Agreement entered into by you, Kaseya US, LLC or another Kaseya affiliate depending on your location and as described therein (“Kaseya,” “us,” or “we”) as well as these Terms of Use which are incorporated into the Kaseya Master Agreement (collectively, the “Agreement”). Capitalized terms not defined in these Terms of Use have the meaning given to them in the Agreement.
If You do not agree to the Agreement you may not register, access or use the Product.
1. USE OF PRODUCTS
a. Right to Use. Subject to your compliance with the Agreement and the receipt by us of all fees applicable to the Product, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive right and license to access and use Spanning in accordance with the Spanning Documentation for the number of licenses and/or the applicable data storage entitlement (“Licenses”) purchased. Unless otherwise specified, you will receive the current standard Product features and functionality (such as number and frequency of backups) for the applicable Retention Plan and for the number of Licenses in each Product account (“Product Account”).
b. Product Accounts and Licenses. The term “Third-Party Tenant” means the third-party website or web-based application or service (such as, for example, Microsoft 365, Google Workplace or Salesforce) with which the Product interacts to backup data of individual users associated with the Third-Party Tenant (“Users”). A License is required for each backed up User regardless of status (e.g., active, paused, archived or other specified usage) in accordance with the Documentation.
c. Active and Archive Licenses. There are two types of Spanning Licenses available for purchase, an Active License and an Archive License. “Active Licenses” are needed for Users that have an active license to the applicable Third-Party Tenant, and take backups of that User’s content on the Third-Party Tenant. Upon termination of the User’s license to the Third-Party Tenant (for example, if the User leaves the employment of a Customer organization) Spanning will automatically move that User to an “Archive License” and status, and if no Archive License has been purchased and is available for use, the Product will automatically add an Archive License to your Product Account. Under an Archive License, no new backups are taken, but old backups are accessible. The number of Active Licenses can be increased, but cannot be decreased during a Committed Service Term. Archive Licenses, however, may be increased or decreased during a Committed Service Term, provided that they may never decrease below any “Committed Minimum Quantity” as set forth on the applicable Order form.
d. Product Account Registration/Set up. You are required to set up each Product Account in accordance with the Documentation. During set up, you agree to provide accurate and complete information, and to promptly update such information should it change. Each User designated for backup at the time of set up will use an available Active License.
e. Adding Users After Initial Set-Up. All Users added to a Product Account, either manually or through an enabled automatic add feature, will automatically use an available Product License that has already been purchased or, if no such License is available, will automatically provision on additional Active License. You acknowledge that you are responsible for any additional Licenses or features you enable for each Product Account, including automatic License add or License cap features.
f. Authentication using Oauth. If you authenticate use of a Product through an oauth technology, thie Product will access your Third-Party Tenant account and use data from such account (such as User security data, file data, location data and device data) for authentication purposes.
g. Backup Process. Spanning interacts with the Third-Party Tenant to obtain copies of content that exists on the Third-Party Tenant. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to save a copy of the Content that you have designated for backup to a server operated by us. In accordance with the Order and Documentation, we will automatically poll the API of the Third-Party Tenant for changes or additions to the Content and periodically re-save a copy of a modified file or create a copy of a newly designated file. You, on behalf of Users, hereby authorize us to access and interact with the Third-Party Tenants to provide Spanning Services.
h. Rights and Responsibilities Regarding Content and Product Use.
(i) License to Content. On behalf of Users, you (i) represent and warrant that you and the User have sufficient rights and all required third party consents, permissions or licenses in and to the Third-Party Tenant account and content as may be necessary and appropriate for us to provide the Spanning Services to you; and (ii) hereby authorize us to access and interact with the Third-Party Tenant to retrieve content; and (iii) hereby grant to us a limited, royalty-free, non-exclusive, assignable license to copy, reformat, disclose, transmit, scan, display and otherwise use the Content as necessary and solely for the purposes of providing the Product, comply with Applicable Law, or as otherwise necessary for us to exercise our rights under the Agreement. You and/or the applicable User is responsible for the accuracy, quality and legality of the Content, and the means by which rights to the Content for use with the Product were acquired.
(ii) You must maintain authorization and access to the Third-Party Tenants and the Third-Party Tenant APIs so that we are regularly able to access it for purposes of providing the Product. You agree and acknowledge that Content may not be available or restorable: a) if our access authority to a Third-Party Tenant is changed or otherwise restricted; b) due to unavailability of the Third-Party Tenant, its APIs or any portion thereof; c) if the provider of the Third-Party Tenant (such as Microsoft, Google or Salesforce) amends its API or API guidelines in such a way that affects our ability to access the Third-Party Tenant; and/or d) with respect to modifications to the Content that are not captured in the backup frequency or retention schedule for the Retention Plan chosen.
(iii) Third Party Administrator Responsibilities Regarding Content and Product Use. If you are a third party Administrator (for example, an MSP) managing or using the Product on behalf of another entity such as a client (a “Client”), you represent and warrant that you are acting as an agent on behalf of the Client and that you are acting within the scope of your agency. Accordingly, you agree to obtain your Client’s authorization and comply with Client’s instructions at all times with respect to use of the Product and access to Content, including but not limited to: backup settings, access controls, management, retention and deletion of Content, transition of a Product Account or Content to a different third-party, and transition assistance and cooperation upon termination or expiration of any relationship between or among you, your Client and/or us. We expressly may rely on your authorization with respect to access and control of a Product Account or Content.
(iv). Kaseya’s Use of Content. Except for the limited license granted hereunder, you, your Client or the User (as applicable) retain all existing rights in and to Content. We will use and process the Content only as necessary to provide and support the Products or comply with Applicable Law, and will not otherwise access Content other than as permitted under the Agreement or otherwise authorized by you.
(v). Client Terms for Managed Accounts. If you resell a Product to a Client, use a Product on behalf of a Client, or authorize a Client to directly use or support a Product, you must ensure that the Client agrees to terms substantially similar to the Spanning Client Terms attached as Exhibit A hereto, as part of a valid, enforceable contract between you and the Client.
2. PRODUCT SUBSCRIPTIONS and RETENTION
a. Product Subscription Required. All Product Licenses must be included in a valid Product subscription (“Subscription”) for which we receive timely payment. A Subscription covers a pool of Licenses that have the same Committed Service Term and Retention Plan.
c. Retention Plans. Each Subscription requires you to choose a particular “Retention Plan” under which backups of your Content are stored for a time period selected by you (provided that your Product Account has appropriate Licenses provisioned to it and payments are current). Retention is based on the age of an item as determined by the last modified timestamp, and items with a last modified timestamp greater than the configured retention are deleted and no longer available to be restored. Backups are taken once every day.
d. Retention Example. For example, if retention for OneDrive within the Microsoft 365 is set to 2 years, and you create a new document in OneDrive, the Product will detect and backup the file. If you make no changes to the file, the backup will be deleted after 2 years. If you update the file a year after creation, when the 2-year anniversary arrives, the Product will delete the first version of the document, but not the second. If you delete the file the day after creation, the version of the file will be deleted from the Product on the 2-year anniversary.
e. Storage Entitlement. Unless another amount is set forth on your Product Order, Spanning provides for an initial storage entitlement of sixty gigabytes (60GB) per License, averaged across all Spanning Licenses (“Storage Entitlement”); if a different Storage Entitlement amount is set forth on the initial Order, then that Storage Entitlement shall apply unless and until later increased. The Storage Entitlement may be increased during a Committed Service Term by purchasing additional storage, which is an Add-On, and which cannot be decreased during a Committed Service Term. If your Product Account exceeds the then-current Storage Entitlement during any monthly period, you will automatically be charged and invoiced for such excess storage at the end of that monthly period at the then-current prices for such excess storage (unless another price is listed on the initial Order). For any later monthly period where storage remains below the then-current Storage Entitlement throughout the entire period, there will be no excess storage invoiced for that period. In addition to Storage Entitlements, the Fair Use policies of Kaseya, as described in the Master Agreement, shall apply.
f. Committed Service Term and High Watermark. If Product Licenses are purchased for a Committed Service Term, that Committed Service Term will apply for the initial Licenses and for any Licenses added to the same Subscription. The number of Active Licenses as well as Storage Entitlement, including any increase in the Storage Entitlement made after the initial purchase, may not be decreased during the then-current Committed Service Term. We reserve the right to monitor usage and retroactively invoice for actual use that was not properly reflected on invoices.
g. Renewals, Cancellation and Adjustments. Unless timely cancelled or adjusted by you, the term of any Subscription will automatically renew for a Committed Service Term and for number of Licenses equal to that of the expiring Subscription. However, by providing us at least thirty (30) days’ written notice prior to the end of a Committed Service Term, you may cancel automatic renewal of the Committed Service Term, or you may adjust the number of Licenses downward upon renewal.
i. Export and Deletion of Content. At any time prior to the termination of a Product Account, you may export Backups from your Product Account via download, pursuant to the Product Documentation. An active Subscription is required for export. We reserve the right to permanently delete Content thirty (30) days after termination of a Subscription.
j. Invoicing and Financial Terms. Subscription fees for Spanning are invoiced in advance, either monthly or annually. Overages are typically invoiced in arrears. Payments for Subscriptions will be charged to the applicable payment method indicated. We may terminate any Subscription for non-payment that is not cured within thirty (30) days after our sending written notice.
k. Special Pricing. If you purchase Spanning with special pricing that Kaseya makes available to organizations based on a certain status or eligibility (such as the CORE Program), you hereby represent that you meet such eligibility requirements. Kaseya has the right to verify your eligibility and status and you hereby agree to provide all reasonable cooperation to Kaseya with respect to such efforts. Should you fail to promptly provide such cooperation, or if the requirements are not met in Kaseya’s reasonable determination, you agree that Kaseya has the right to: (i) suspend or terminate the applicable Services; (ii) charge you for Product at the non-discounted pricing going forward, and/or: (iii) require that you promptly repay the difference between the discounted and non-discounted pricing for past Product purchases and use. Eligibility for the CORE Program is available by clicking here.
Exhibit A -- Spanning Client Terms
These Client Terms (“Terms”), apply to you as the entity that owns, licenses, or lawfully controls the content that is held for backup purposes (“Content”) in a Spanning (“Product”) account. Kaseya does not provide the Product directly to you. The Product is sold and provided by Kaseya or one of its subsidiaries or affiliates (“Kaseya”) directly to the reseller/managed service provider (“Administrator”) who will (a) use and manage the Product on your behalf with your Content; or who may (b) authorize you to access, use or manage the Product yourself, in which case you will be considered Client Administrator of the Product.
THE PRODUCT
Rights to the Product. You acknowledge that Kaseya and its licensors own all intellectual property rights in and to the Product. You will not engage in or authorize any activity that is inconsistent with such ownership.
Kaseya’s Use of Content. Kaseya will use Content only as necessary to provide and support the Product, and will not access Content other than as permitted herein, as described in the Product specifications or as authorized by an Administrator for support.
Kaseya’s Rights. In the event that Kaseya reasonably believes Content or related Product use violates these terms, the applicable agreements or terms between Kaseya and the Administrator (including any Fair Use policies) (“Kaseya Terms”), may disrupt or threaten the operation or security of any computer, network, system or the Product, or may otherwise subject Kaseya to liability, Kaseya reserves the right to refuse or disable access to the Product or Content. Kaseya may also take such action pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and/or as required to comply with law or any judicial, regulatory or other governmental order or request. Kaseya will use reasonable efforts to contact the Administrator prior to taking such action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Kaseya may restrict access to any Product or Content without prior notice as required to comply with law or any judicial, regulatory or other governmental order or request. In the event that Kaseya takes any such action without prior notice, Kaseya will provide notice to the Administrator, unless prohibited by law.
Use of Aggregate Data. Notwithstanding anything else in these Terms or otherwise, Kaseya may evaluate and process use of the Product and Content in an aggregate and anonymous manner, meaning in such a way that the individual is not or no longer identified or identifiable and compile statistical and performance information related thereto (referred to as “Aggregate Data”). Aggregate Data includes utilization statistics, reports, and logs aggregated with data from other Kaseya customers. Kaseya may use, process and share such Aggregate Data with third parties to improve the Products, develop new products, understand and/or analyze usage, demand, and general industry trends, develop and publish white papers, reports, and databases summarizing the foregoing, and generally for any purpose related to Kaseya’s business. Kaseya retains all intellectual property rights in Aggregate Data. For clarity, Aggregate Data does not include any personally identifiable information nor does it identify any Client or individual.
Right to Change Products. Kaseya may make changes to its Products through updates and upgrades that offer new features, functionality, and efficiencies (“Enhancements”). Kaseya reserves the right to add new Products and Enhancements and to replace or discontinue Products or Enhancements at any time.
Right to Interact with Products. You agree that Kaseya may and you hereby authorize Kaseya to interact remotely with any deployed Product in order to test, troubleshoot, update, analyze use of or modify the Product or the environment in which it operates.
ADMINISTRATORS
Kaseya will interact with the Administrator(s) you appoint to operate and manage use of the Product with your Content. You are not a third-party beneficiary of the Kaseya Terms between Kaseya and an Administrator.
An Administrator is not an agent of Kaseya and is not authorized to make any representations or warranties on behalf of Kaseya regarding the Product or its use.
You are responsible for instructing and authorizing the Administrator with respect to use of the Product including backup settings, management, retention and deletion of Content, transition of Product or Content to a different Administrator, and transition assistance and cooperation upon termination or expiration of any relationship between or among Administrator, you and/or Kaseya.
You expressly agree that Kaseya may rely on the instructions and authorization of the Administrator with respect to use and support of the Product and access and control of your Content.
YOUR DIRECT USE OF A PRODUCT
If the Administrator authorizes you to access or use a Product directly, you are responsible for all actions you take with respect to use of the Product including backup settings and management, retention and deletion of Content and Kaseya may rely on your instructions as an authorized administrator of the Product.
Any support for the Product is provided to you by the Administrator and not directly by Kaseya.
SECURITY
Kaseya has implemented and maintains physical, technical and administrative measures designed to help secure Content under Kaseya’s control against accidental or unlawful loss, access or disclosure. However, no password-protected system of data storage and retrieval can be made entirely impenetrable and you acknowledge and agree that despite the reasonable measures employed, the Products and Content are not guaranteed against all security threats or other vulnerabilities.
You acknowledge and agree that the Administrator you authorize to manage use of the Product on your behalf has access to and manages your Content. You and/or the Administrator are responsible, and in no event will Kaseya be responsible, for any physical, administrative, or technical controls related to Products or Content not under the exclusive control of Kaseya, including but not limited to, passwords or other access credentials, LAN or internet connectivity. You and/or the Administrator are responsible for the proper configuration and maintenance of security measures and for determining the security measures appropriate for the Content
INDEMNIFICATION
You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Kaseya from and against any loss, cost, liability or damage, including attorneys’ fees, for which Kaseya becomes liable arising from any claim relating to your Content, including if it a) infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights or other rights of a third party; b) violates any applicable law; or c) otherwise is in violation of these Client Terms or the applicable Product terms.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL KASEYA OR ANY ITS LICENSORS OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR COSTS, REGARDLESS OF THE NATURE OF THE CLAIM, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES, COSTS OF DELAY, FAILURE OF DELIVERY, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, COSTS OF LOST OR DAMAGED DATA OR THE COST OF RECREATING THE SAME, EVEN IF DATTO HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
