  • Customers with static IP or those that do not form part of the allocated pool and will have a constant IP address

Open Relay Mail Servers

 

Innove define an “Open-Relay” mail server as an SMTP mail server that allows third parties to send emails to other third parties. Third parties are those people/services that are not authorized to use an end-customer mail server.

 

One use of an Open-Relay server is that they are used to send spam/viruses to many people (perhaps hundreds of thousands). Open Relay servers cause significant stress on Innove’s network and are not allowed under any circumstances.

 

Business customers who choose to operate their own mail servers are responsible for the orderly administration of those servers. They must be configured not to be able to be used for “open relaying”. If you need assistance, please contact Innove.

 

Any customer, who operates an Open Relay mail server, whether purposefully or accidentally, will be liable for costs incurred by Innove in dealing with the situation.

ANNEX 2

SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS/SERVICE SCHEDULE FOR CYBER SECURITY

 

This Supplemental Agreement to the Terms and Conditions/Service Schedule for Cyber Security (Appendix 1) which forms part of this Agreement shall reflect mutually agreed modifications, revisions, alterations of the Terms and Conditions/Service Schedule for Cyber Security (Appendix 1) which shall supplement and supersede the Service Schedule for Cyber Security (Appendix 1) in the following clauses:

 

EXHIBIT A OF ANNEX 2

PRODUCT/SERVICE SPECIFIC TERMS & CONDITIONS

 

  1. TERMS APPLICABLE TO CERTAIN SERVICES
    1. Applicable to Professional Services. Professional Services will commence on a mutually agreed upon date. Estimates provided for Professional Services performed on a time and material basis are estimates only and not a guaranteed time of completion.  
    2. Applicable to Support Services. Support subject to the Technical Support and Maintenance Terms and Conditions. The support period begins at the date the Support is resold and may be renewed by the Customer subject to the payment of applicable support fees and end-of-life policy. If the Customer fails to maintain support continuously and the Customer wants Support to be reinstated, the Customer must purchase support to cover the period from the expiration of the previous Support period until the Support is Current. Innove may also charge an out-of-compliance fee. 
    3. Applicable to Security Services. Should a Statement of Work include security scanning, testing, assessment, forensics, or remediation Services (“Security Services''), Customer understands that INNOVE may use various methods and software tools to probe network resources for security-related information and to detect actual or potential security flaws and vulnerabilities. CUSTOMER authorizes INNOVE to perform such Security Services (and all such tasks and tests reasonably contemplated by or reasonably necessary to perform the Security Services or otherwise approved by CUSTOMER from time to time on network resources with the IP Addresses identified by CUSTOMER. CUSTOMER represents that, if CUSTOMER does not own such network resources, it will have obtained consent and authorization from the applicable third party to permit INNOVE to provide the Security Services. INNOVE will perform Security Services during a time frame agreed with CUSTOMER. The Security Services, such as penetration testing or vulnerability assessments, may also entail buffer overflows, fat pings, operating system specific exploits, and attacks specific to custom coded applications but will exclude intentional and deliberate DOS (“Denial of Service'') attacks. Furthermore, CUSTOMER acknowledges that the Security Services described could possibly result in service interruptions or degradation regarding the CUSTOMER’s systems and CUSTOMER accepts those risks and consequences. CUSTOMER consents and authorizes INNOVE to provide any or all of the Security Services with respect to the CUSTOMER’s systems. CUSTOMER further acknowledges that it is the Customer’s responsibility to restore network computer systems to a secure configuration after INNOVE’s testing.  
    4. Applicable to Compliance Consulting Services. Should a Statement of Work include compliance testing or assessment or other similar compliance advisory Services (“Compliance Services”), Customer understands that, although INNOVE’s Compliance Services may discuss or relate to legal issues, INNOVE does not provide legal advice or services, none of such Services will be deemed, construed as or constitute legal advice and that Customer is ultimately responsible for retaining its own legal counsel to provide legal advice. Furthermore, the Customer Reports provided by INNOVE in connection with any Compliance Services will not be deemed to be legal opinions and may not and should not be relied on as proof, evidence or any guarantee or assurance as to Customer’s legal or regulatory compliance.  
    5. Applicable to Payment Card Industry Compliance Consulting Services. Should a Statement of Work include payment Card industry (“PCI”) compliance auditing, testing or assessment or other similar PCI compliance advisory Consulting Services (“PCI Compliance Services”), Customer understands that INNOVE’s PCI Compliance Services do not constitute any guarantee or assurance that security of Customer’s systems, networks and assets cannot be breached or are not at risk. These PCI Compliance Services are an assessment, as of a particular date, of whether Customer’s systems, networks and assets, and any compensating controls meet the applicable PCI standards. Mere compliance with PCI standards may not be sufficient to eliminate all risks of a security breach of Customer’s systems, networks and assets. Furthermore, INNOVE is not responsible for updating its reports and assessments, or enquiring as to the occurrence or absence of such, in light of subsequent changes to Customer’s systems, networks and assets after the date of INNOVE’s final report; unless a signed Statement of Work expressly requiring the same is signed and entered into between the parties.  

       

  2. FEES; INVOICING
    1. Customer Subscription. The terms of Customer’s subscription begin on the start date set forth in EXHIBIT A of ANNEX 1 - B and will continue for the period of time stated in APPENDIX 1 (“Initial Subscription Term”). Prior to the end of the initial subscription Term, the length and pricing for renewal terms will be agreed to (“Renewal Subscription Term”); otherwise, Customer’s subscription will terminate at the end of the initial subscription Terms (or the then applicable renewal subscription term).  
    2. Customer Order. Customer’s Orders are non-cancellable and non-refundable by Customer and delivery/performance dates may be changed only upon Innove’s written consent. Innove may reject without liability any Order submitted by Customer that is inconsistent with this agreement or Innove’s quote/order. Innove may discontinue Products or Service offerings at any time but shall provide the Customer written notice of such discontinuance and shall fulfill an Order previously accepted by the Customer and/or provide for end of life notices to pre-existing Customers.  
    3. Professional Services Fees. The fees and billing milestones for Professional Services are set forth in EXHIBIT A of ANNEX 1 - B.  
    4. Consulting Service Fees. The fees and billing milestones for Consulting Services are set forth in EXHIBIT A of ANNEX 1 - B.  
    5. Usage Fees. The fees are set forth in EXHIBIT A of ANNEX 1 - B.  
    6. Temporary Disconnection. In the event that the Customer’s subscription is temporarily disconnected due to (a) non-payment of fees or (b) a request initiated by the Customer, the contract duration shall remain unaffected. The subscription term shall continue to run as originally agreed, without any extension or suspension of the contract period.  
    7. Reconnection and Associated Fees. If the Customer requests reconnection of the service during the contract period and reconnection is applicable, the Customer shall be required to pay any applicable reconnection fees.  
    8. Customer Obligation. Any temporary disconnection does not waive their obligation to fulfill all contractual payments, and any outstanding balances, reconnection fees, or other applicable charges must be settled prior to service restoration.  

       

  3. GENERAL ASSUMPTIONS
    1. In order to effectively work with the Customer to resolve any technical issues that may arise, it is important that complete and timely information is provided.
      • Designated Contacts (Customer Authorized Representatives) -- Customers’ primary point-of-contact (POC) or a designee, must be available to Innove and its authorized partner during the entire engagement. The representative must have sufficient authority to schedule testing and address any issues that may arise.
      • Technical Scoping and Solution Summary. The information above is based on data gathered by INNOVE’s Business Consultant team during discovery meetings and conversations with customers leading up to the creation of the Statement of Work for proposed services to be delivered by Innove and its authorized partner. The information documented and recorded in this Scope of Work section will confirm the Customer’s environment with all its included features and services are being deployed and identify any issues up front, avoiding potential implementation issues that could potentially arise in the provisioning process.
    2. Innove and its authorized partner shall provide a group of qualified resources and engagement will be housed in the Innove facility for proper management. Innove and its authorized partner shall be responsible for the deployment of resources involved in rendering the service. Any project related expenses incurred such as onsite services which require travel, accommodations and other miscellaneous expenses that are not identified in this proposal shall be billed to the Customer.
    3. It is also important for customers to involve the assigned INNOVE CyberSec Business Consultant in discussions regarding deployed solutions, and product roadmaps. This will ensure full product potential is realized in the Customer environment.
    4. Customer shall use the prescribed communication channels by Innove for service delivery.
    5. Customer should have internet connectivity.
    6. Customer should enable infrastructure for remote management.
    7. Customer should have a Local Area Network (LAN) or request a new solution if needed.
    8. Complete and timely information is crucial for effective technical issue resolution.
    9. Customer should provide appropriate credentials and access for support activities.
    10. Contract renewal is subject to the agreement between the Innove Account Manager and the Customer. Contract will be reviewed prior to the renewal to validate if there are any changes in the price.
    11. Any service modification in the subscription may be requested through the assigned Account Manager or CARE (Non-Technical) [email protected].

       

  4. LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS
    1. Only those services defined in the Scope of Work section will be part of the scope.
    2. Innove will not be liable for any delay or impact on the service level targets that may be caused by any third parties.
    3. Integration costs for third party applications, service requests beyond the scope, requires extra manpower support and any project related expenses that are not identified in this proposal will be charged separately. A separate proposal of add ons will be sent upon assessment. This is subject to the approval of the Customer.
    4. Any incident not related to the base product design shall be out of scope and will be referred to as the Change Request and Service Request Process. Service-related organizational changes shall be handled by the customer.
    5. Data backup / data migration and configuration of database. Innove and its authorized partner are not liable to any data loss, so we suggest that the customer should properly back up everything before engagement. Customer will be responsible for ensuring that there is appropriate backup, security and virus-checking procedures in place for any computer facilities provided or which may be affected by the Services.
    6. Implementation of failover, high availability, and/or disaster recovery, unless specifically defined herein.
    7. Attack Remediation. The process of dealing with attacks or security breaches is not included in the service unless specified otherwise.
