Introduction to Resiliate™ 2.0
Welcome to Resiliate, a AI-driven data resiliency software solution designed to mitigate the effects of ransomware and other malicious activities that lead to data loss. Resiliate is an advanced filesystem that aims to prevent data loss, provide quick recovery options, and achieve short Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTO).
What's new in Resiliate™ 2.0?
Resiliate introduces several new features allowing greater flexibility and customization for a wide range of enterprise needs, including a unified interface, the Cybernetic Engram engine, plugins, back-end stores, and statistical and AI models.
-
Plugin-Driven System: Resiliate™ 2.0 is plugin-driven, allowing for greater flexibility and extensibility.
-
Support for Multiple Filesystems: Resiliate™ 2.0 is designed to work with multiple filesystems, providing users with more options and flexibility.
-
Improved Transparency: The internal state of the system is exposed via the Control Plane filesystem, providing insights into its decision-making process.
-
Easier Deployment and Data Import: Resiliate™ 2.0 simplifies both deployment and data import, making it easier for users to get started with the system.
-
Enhanced Auditing Capabilities: Deep auditing of filesystem operations is introduced using Cybernetic Engrams (CEs).
Key Features of Resiliate™ 2.0
-
Cybernetic Engram (CE) Engine: The CE engine evaluates and performs inferences based on the state of the data, system, users, groups, processes, and history, resulting in security recommendations for file operations.
-
Plugins: Plugins are dynamic libraries that implement the CePlugin trait. They can evaluate filesystem operations and provide recommendations on what should happen next.
-
Control Plane: The Control Plane provides a unified interface for interacting with the CE engine, plugins, back-end stores, and the statistical and AI models.

Getting started
In this section you will learn how to get started using Resiliate on your system!
Native windows support is coming soon, meanwhile you can use Samba to export Resiliate protected partition to your Windows Network. Since all the protection is built into the file system you don't need any agents on your Microsoft Windows® end-points, and still get protection of any data stored on the Resiliate partition.
Installation
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Server
-
Import the GPG key: Start by importing the GPG key for the saf.ai repository. Execute the following command:
curl -fsSL https://get.saf.ai/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/saf.ai.gpg
This command downloads the GPG key, dearmors it, and saves it to your system's list of trusted keys.
-
Add the repository: Now, add the saf.ai repository to your system's list of software sources. Use the following command:
curl -fsSL https://get.saf.ai/apt/ubuntu/list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/saf.ai.list
This command downloads the repository's list file and saves it in the
/etc/apt/sources.list.d
directory. -
Create the auth.conf file: The
auth.conf
file stores HTTP Basic authentication credentials for private repositories.Create it using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apt/auth.conf
This command opens the
auth.conf
file in the nano text editor. If the file doesn't exist, it will be created. -
Add the credentials: In the
auth.conf
file, add the following lines:machine get.saf.ai login demo password <password>
Replace
<password>
with the actual password provided to by saf.ai.Save and close the file by pressing
Ctrl+X
, thenY
, thenEnter
. -
Set the permissions: The
auth.conf
file should be owned by root and should have 0600 permissions to keep the credentials secure. Set these permissions with the following command:sudo chmod 600 /etc/apt/auth.conf
-
Update your package lists: After setting up the
auth.conf
file, update your package lists to include the new packages from the saf.ai repository:sudo apt update

Test Instructions
In this section you will learn how to test your Resiliate file system.
Create
some data on your systemDestroy
your dataRectify
your precious dataAnalyze
your data and Resiliate instance
Create
Let's create some data!
-
On client side, navigate to Resiliate directory.
cd ${AIFS_MOUNTDIR}
-
Copy or extract the test data in the directory. For example, if you grabbed 200.zip from https://get.saf.ai/downloads/beta/test-data, you can unzip it in the Resiliate directory.
unzip 200.zip
-
Once your data is finished copying over, look at your Resiliate server and list your recovery points using the below command:
aifs rectify ${AIFS_MOUNTDIR} show
This should look something like the following:
You will notice that as the data copies in, Resiliate will automatically create various points of interest and identify them as
sāf
ordirty
points. These recovery points can be made into backups or permanent recovery points by manually recovering them.
Destroy
Let's destroy your data!
Method 1
-
Manually delete your files
rm -rf 200/
-
Verify files are not available
ls -lah 200/
Method 2
-
Install ransomware of choice. Or download and install from: https://github.com/safai-labs/Python-Ransomware
Procuring ransomware can be dangerous, only use trusted sources!
-
Verify that your files are no longer accessible.
Rectify
Let's rectify
your data!
To rescue your data from peril, you simply command Resiliate to rectify
your mounted directory and your data will be recovered. There is
also manual access if a more granular approach is necessary.
-
Run a
rectify
in dry run mode to see what will be rectified from what point:aifs rectify ${AIFS_MOUNTDIR} now --dry-run -v
-
Run the
rectify
command in one of the following methods:-
Automatically and immediately
rectify
your data:aifs rectify ${AIFS_MOUNTDIR} now
-
Alternately, manually set up sāf points and
rectify
from them:aifs rectify ${AIFS_MOUNTDIR} memory ${RECOVERY_ID} aifs rectify ${AIFS_MOUNTDIR} from
-
-
Your clean data is now available in the mounted directory!
This should look something like the following:
Notice that, not only has your data been restored but also your permissions and settings.
Analyze
Let's analyze your data!
-
You may go into your created recovery point files and analyze how your data looks at a certain point in time.
-
You may also compare the differences between pre and post attacked data to determine what files were being targeted.
-
You will notice that the restored data has no traces of the payload. Restoring your data with Resiliate is like turning back the clock. It does not fix the damaged data it simply removes it from production and gives you back your healthy data.

CE (Cybernetic Engram Control Engine)
The CE is a dynamic and extensible system designed to enhance threat detection and response capabilities. It achieves this by leveraging a range of plugins, each tailored to specific threat detection methodologies. The configuration of CE and its plugins is managed through a TOML file.
Each filesystem has its own control plane, which is used to interact with the
CE and its plugins. The control plane is located at /var/lib/resiliate/${mount_dir_flattened}
.
You can find more information about the control plane in the Control Plane
Configuration
Let's go over a sample configuration file for the CE:
# Main configuration for the Cybernetic Engram Control Engine (CE)
[ce]
# Directory where the compiled plugins are stored.
# Default: The directory where CE is installed.
plugins-dir = "target/debug"
# Directory for the CE control plane.
# Default: /var/lib/resiliate/${mount_dir_flattened}
control-plane-dir = "/tmp/ce"
# Enable or disable enforcement mode
# on | off | auto
enforcement = auto
# Configuration for the 'core' plugin, based on the 'naive' detection methodology.
[core]
# Path to the compiled plugin. This remains constant even if the section name changes.
plugin = "libce_naive.so"
# Directory containing the necessary models for the plugin.
# Default: Directory where the CE is installed.
models-dir = "/usr/share/resiliate/lib"
# Note: The same plugin can be configured multiple times if it supports multiple instances.
# For example, another instance of the 'naive' plugin can be added as:
# [core2]
# plugin = "libce_naive.so"
# models-dir = "/usr/share/resiliate/lib2"
The central configuration of the CE is defined under the [ce]
section:
-
control-plane-dir
: This directory serves as the control plane for the CE. By default, the mount point for the CE control plane is/var/lib/resiliate/${mount_dir_flattened}
, but it can be overridden as shown in the example with/tmp/ce
. -
enforcement
: Whether or not the system will obey enforcement suggestions by CE. In enforcement mode, the CE provides mandatory accerss control (MAC) over files, and grants or revokes access to processes, users, and groups. The access control based on what the evaluations of the plugins. -
plugins-dir
: This is the directory where the compiled plugins are stored. In the provided example, this is set to/usr/lib/resiliate/plugins
.
Plugin Configuration
The CE supports multiple plugins, each defined in its section within the TOML file. The section name determines the control plane subdirectory name for that plugin. For instance:
[core]
: This section configures thecore
plugin, which is based on thelibce_naive.so
library.plugin
: Specifies the path to the compiled plugin. In the example, this is set tolibce_naive.so
.models-dir
: This directory contains the necessary models for the plugin. In the example, it's set to/usr/share/resiliate/lib
.
The control plane subdirectory name is derived from the section name. So, for the
core
plugin, the corresponding directory in the control plane would be /core
.
It's worth noting that if a plugin supports it, it can be configured multiple times.
This allows for diverse configurations for different use cases. The naive
plugin, for instance, supports this feature.
Interacting with CE and Its Plugins
-
Accessing the Control Plane: Navigate to the control plane root as specified in the
control-plane-dir
setting. By default, this would be/var/lib/resiliate/${mount_dir_flattened}
. -
Viewing CE Metrics: Access the
/status
file within the control plane root to view the current state and metrics of the CE. Given its fixed length, you may need to re-read this file periodically for updated information. -
Monitoring Threats: The
/threats
file within the control plane root provides real-time threat detection from all configured plugins. Like the/status
file, it has a fixed length, so you'll need to re-read it to get the latest threat data. -
Plugin-specific Interaction: To interact with a specific plugin, navigate to its corresponding subdirectory in the control plane. For example, for the
core
plugin, you would go to/core
.
Examples
To view the current metrics of the CE:
cat /var/lib/resiliate/${mount_dir_flattened}/status
To check the latest threats detected by all plugins:
cat /var/lib/resiliate/${mount_dir_flattened}/threats
CONTROL PLANE
NAME
control-plane - Unified interface for Resiliate to mitigate ransomware effects and data loss.
SYNOPSIS
The control plane provides an interface between the Cybernetic Engram (CE) and its plugins, facilitating real-time interaction and data exchange.
DESCRIPTION
Welcome to Resiliate, an AI-driven data resiliency software solution designed to mitigate the effects of ransomware and other malicious activities that lead to data loss. Resiliate is an advanced filesystem that aims to prevent data loss, provide quick recovery options, and achieve short Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTO). The control plane acts as a unified interface for interacting with the CE engine, plugins, back-end stores, and the statistical and AI models.
The Resiliate control plane is a powerful tool for sysadmins and secadmins, offering a detailed view into the activities, threats, and health of the Resiliate filesystem. By leveraging the insights from the control plane, administrators can proactively address potential threats, ensuring data integrity and mitigating the effects of ransomware and other malicious activities.
The Resiliate control plane serves as a dedicated interface for each Resiliate filesystem, providing real-time insights and interactions with the Cybernetic Engram (CE) and its associated plugins. This interface is crucial for understanding the health, threats, and activities within the Resiliate filesystem, thereby aiding in proactive cybersecurity measures. Control Plane Structure
Control Plane Structure
For every Resiliate filesystem, a unique control plane is generated. The naming convention for the control plane mirrors the mount point of the filesystem.
For instance, a filesystem mounted at /mnt/fs1
would have its control plane
located at /var/run/resiliate/mnt_fs1
. Names with spaces, underscores, or other special
characters get replaced by underscores _
. For example for '/mnt/Home Directories', would
become /var/run/resiliate/Home_Directories
Key Directories and Files
-
/
: This is the root of the control plane. It serves as the primary entry point for accessing all control plane functionalities and associated plugins. -
/status
: This file provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of the Resiliate filesystem. It includes metrics from the CE, detailing damaged files, potential exfiltrations, user interactions, and specific recommendations based on detected threats or anomalies. The recommendations can range from auditing to quarantining, based on the severity and nature of the detected activity.
See resiliate-cp-status for more information.
/threats
File Components
This file lists potential threats detected by the CE. It categorizes threats based on their nature, such as 'Wiper Detected' or 'Ransomware type encryption detected'. These threats are often detected by the underlying plugins, which then relay this information to the CE.
Plugin Integration
Each directory present in the root of the control plane (e.g., /naive) represents an instance of a specific plugin. These plugins are responsible for gathering granular data and insights, which are then processed by the CE. The CE, in turn, updates its internal state, making it accessible through the /status file.
For example, the naive directory represents an instance of the naive plugin. The internal state and metrics of this plugin can be accessed through files within the /naive directory. This structure allows for modular and scalable integration of multiple plugins, each contributing to the overall cybersecurity posture of the Resiliate filesystem.
Core plugin
The core
plugin provides the basic set of metrics and functionalities for the
Resiliate filesystem.
CONFIGURATION
Control plane is configured through the corresponding ce configuration file. See Cybernetic Engram Control Engine for more information.
USAGE
Ensure that only authorized users have access to the control plane. Regularly update the control plane and its plugins to patch any known vulnerabilities.

CE Metrics: This section provides an overview of the metrics gathered by the Cybernetic Engram (CE) for the Resiliate filesystem.
Damaged Files
: Represents the number of files that have been detected as damaged.
The value in parentheses (242402s) indicates the time (in seconds) since this metric
was last updated.
Exfiltrations
: Represents the number of unauthorized data exfiltrations detected.
Similar to the damaged files metric, the value in parentheses indicates the time
since the last update.
Users
: The total number of unique user IDs (UIDs) that have interacted with
the filesystem.
Groups
: The total number of unique group IDs (GIDs) that have been associated
with the filesystem.
Processes
: The total number of unique process IDs (PIDs) that have interacted
with the filesystem.
Detailed Metrics:
Each subsequent line provides detailed metrics for specific UIDs, GIDs, or PIDs.
The prefixes u:
, g:
, and p:
are used to denote user IDs, group IDs, and
process IDs respectively. These prefixes are designed for easy filtering using utilities
like grep
, sed
, and awk
.
For each UID, GID, or PID, the following information is provided:
Recommendation
: Suggested actions based on the detected activities.
Examples include Audit, Quarantine, and Stop.
Reason
: A breakdown of the reasons behind the recommendation. This includes:
Source
: The source of the detected activity, e.g., all.
Attack
: The type of malicious activity detected, e.g., Damage, Malicious.
Score
: A numerical score representing the severity of the detected activity.
Sigma
: A statistical measure related to the detected activity.
Cosine
: Another statistical measure.
Description
: A textual description providing more context about the detected
activity.
rv (Reasoning Vector)
: Provides specific details about the detected anomaly.
For instance, Displayed extension pdf is inconsistent with predicted extensions
indicates a potential file type mismatch.
Exfiltrations Detected
: The number before the first set of parentheses indicates
the number of exfiltrations detected for that specific UID, GID, or PID. The value
in parentheses represents the time since the last update.
Damage Detected
: The number after the first set of parentheses indicates the number
of damages detected. The value in the subsequent parentheses represents the time
since the last update.
Example Use Cases
1. User Behavior Analysis
Problem: A sysadmin wants to monitor user behavior to detect any unusual activities that might indicate compromised accounts or insider threats.
Solution: By analyzing the /status
file, the sysadmin can
track activities of specific users (using the u:
prefix). For
instance, a sudden spike in damaged files or exfiltrations for a
particular user might indicate suspicious behavior.
Example:
grep "^u:" /status | awk '$3 > 10 {print $0}'
This command filters out users with more than 10 damaged files, which can then be further investigated.
2. Real-time Threat Detection
Problem: A security admin wants to set up real-time alerts for potential threats.
Solution: The /threats
file can be monitored for changes. Any
new entries can trigger an alert. Additionally, the score
and
sigma
values in the /status
file can be used to set thresholds
for alerts.
Example:
tail -f /threats | grep "Ransomware"
This command monitors the threats file in real-time for any ransomware-related entries.
3. Data Labeling for Machine Learning
Problem: A data scientist wants to train a machine learning model to predict malicious activities and needs labeled data.
Solution: The /status
file provides labeled data with
reason
, attack
, and score
fields. This data can be extracted
and used as training data for the model.
Example:
awk -F" " '{print $4, $6, $8}' /status > training_data.csv
This command extracts the reason
, attack
, and score
fields for machine learning training.
4. Impact Detection Post-Incident
Problem: After a security incident, a secadmin wants to assess the impact, specifically which processes were involved and the extent of the damage.
Solution: The p:
entries in the /status
file can be analyzed
to see which processes were active during the incident and how many
files they damaged or exfiltrated.
Example:
grep "^p:" /status | awk '$3 > 0 || $5 > 0 {print $0}'
This command lists processes that have damaged or exfiltrated files.
5. Forensic Analysis
Problem: After a data breach, forensic experts want to trace back the activities of a particular group or user to understand the breach's origin.
Solution: The /status
file can be analyzed to track the
activities of specific groups (using the g:
prefix) or users over
time.
Example:
grep "^g:1000" /status
This command retrieves all activities associated with group ID 1000.
These scenarios highlight the versatility of the Resiliate
filesystem's /status
and /threats
files in addressing various
system and security administration challenges. By leveraging this
data, professionals can proactively manage, monitor, and mitigate
potential risks.
/status use-cases
Here are some scenarios where the information from the /status
file of the
Resiliate filesystem can be invaluable:
1. User Behavior Analysis
Problem: A sysadmin wants to monitor user behavior to detect any unusual activities that might indicate compromised accounts or insider threats.
Solution: By analyzing the /status
file, the sysadmin can
track activities of specific users (using the u:
prefix). For
instance, a sudden spike in damaged files or exfiltrations for a
particular user might indicate suspicious behavior.
Example:
grep "^u:" /status | awk '$3 > 10 {print $0}'
This command filters out users with more than 10 damaged files, which can then be further investigated.
2. Real-time Threat Detection
Problem: A security admin wants to set up real-time alerts for potential threats.
Solution: The /threats
file can be monitored for changes. Any
new entries can trigger an alert. Additionally, the score
and
sigma
values in the /status
file can be used to set thresholds
for alerts.
Example:
tail -f /threats | grep "Ransomware"
This command monitors the threats file in real-time for any ransomware-related entries.
3. Data Labeling for Machine Learning
Problem: A data scientist wants to train a machine learning model to predict malicious activities and needs labeled data.
Solution: The /status
file provides labeled data with
reason

and used as training data for the model.
Example:
awk -F" " '{print $4, $6, $8}' /status > training_data.csv
This command extracts the reason

machine learning training.
4. Impact Detection Post-Incident
Problem: After a security incident, a secadmin wants to assess the impact, specifically which processes were involved and the extent of the damage.
Solution: The p:
entries in the /status
file can be analyzed
to see which processes were active during the incident and how many
files they damaged or exfiltrated.

Integrating with Microsoft Windows
Prerequisites
Please go through the Installation process and configure a Resiliate file-server before continuing.
It is recommended that you install Samba on the Linux server using:
apt install samba
You can use Resiliate with Windows in a variety of ways. There are many configurations here, please choose the one that works for your particular use-case.
Windows Workgroup
Using Resiliate as a Simple Network Share
The easiest way to integrate with Microsoft Windows networks is to simply configure a samba service on your Resiliate file-server with a selected number of common shares.
This method is also good for creating an environment that will integrate with LDAP or RADIUS based authentications.
Please make sure that a share drive is available over NFS or Samba.
Windows Active Directory
If it's your first time working with Resiliate, please consider deploying it
on a standalone environment before integrating it with
Active Directory
.
When connecting Resiliate server via SMB or NFSv4, please make sure that Resiliate server is configured to be a domain member.
Prerequisites
Ensure that you have a fully operational CEPH cluster. If you do not already have a CEPH cluster set up, follow the instructions in the official CEPH documentation to get started.
Configuration
-
Configure CEPH Block Storage (RBD):
Resiliate will interact with the CEPH cluster using the RADOS Block Device (RBD) interface. To set up an RBD in your CEPH cluster, follow the RBD configuration instructions provided by CEPH.
-
Map the CEPH Block Device to your system:
After setting up the RBD, map it to a block device on your system using the following command:
sudo rbd map poolname/devicename --name client.admin
Ensure that you replace
poolname
anddevicename
with the appropriate names for your configuration. -
Initialize and Mount the Store:
Now initialize the CEPH-backed store with Resiliate filesystem and mount it at your preferred location. For example:
export AIFS_PARTITION=/dev/rbd/poolname/devicename AIFS_MOUNTDIR=/srv/cefs sudo aifs storage init ${AIFS_PARTITION} sudo mkdir -p ${AIFS_MOUNTDIR} sudo aifs filesystem mount ${AIFS_PARTITION} ${AIFS_MOUNTDIR}
Your CEPH-backed Resiliate filesystem is now ready to use. Any data written to
/srv/cefs
will now be stored on your CEPH cluster.
Note: This assumes that you have installed the necessary CEPH client utilities on the same machine where you're running these commands.
Remember to always test this setup with non-critical data first, until you are confident that everything is functioning as expected.
Lastly, the performance of the Resiliate system when backed by CEPH will depend heavily on the performance and configuration of your CEPH cluster. So, ensure your CEPH cluster is well-optimized for your workload.
Minimal CEPH Cluster Setup Guide (alpha)
Here's a guide to setting up a minimal CEPH cluster for testing purposes. It assumes you're using Ubuntu 22.04, and will install a one-node CEPH cluster. This guide also assumes you're familiar with virtual machines and have one set up already.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Alpha Support for CEPH in Resiliate
Please be aware that, as of this writing, support for CEPH storage in Resiliate is in an alpha stage. This means that while basic functionalities have been implemented and tested, comprehensive support and full stability are not yet guaranteed.
Alpha-level software is usually not feature complete and might contain bugs. These versions are released for users to test and provide feedback, helping developers identify issues, understand user experience, and receive suggestions for improvements.
While using Resiliate with CEPH, you may encounter unexpected behavior, bugs, or other issues. We strongly encourage users to report any issues they encounter, which will be invaluable in improving the support for CEPH.
In light of the alpha status of CEPH support, we recommend using Resiliate with CEPH for testing, development, and non-critical applications. For production environments and applications that require high reliability and stability, it may be best to wait until CEPH support has reached a more mature stage in its development cycle.
We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work on providing robust and reliable support for CEPH in Resiliate. Your feedback and contributions during this period are greatly appreciated.
1. Pre-requisites
- A Virtual Machine with Ubuntu 22.04 installed.
- Sudo or root privileges on the VM.
- Stable Internet connection for downloading packages.
2. Installing CEPH
First, update the system and install NTP:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ntp -y
Install CEPH:
wget -q -O- 'https://download.ceph.com/keys/release.asc' | sudo apt-key add -
echo deb https://download.ceph.com/debian-octopus/ $(lsb_release -sc) main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ceph-deploy -y
3. Creating the CEPH Cluster
Create a new directory for configuration:
mkdir ~/ceph-cluster
cd ~/ceph-cluster
Create a new cluster:
ceph-deploy new {your-node}
Replace {your-node}
with your node's hostname.
4. Configuring the CEPH Cluster
Update your Ceph configuration file, found in your ceph-cluster
directory,
with the following lines to the [global]
section:
echo "osd pool default size = 1" >> ceph.conf
echo "osd crush chooseleaf type = 0" >> ceph.conf
5. Installing CEPH
ceph-deploy install {your-node}
Replace {your-node}
with your node's hostname.
6. Creating the Monitor Daemon
ceph-deploy mon create-initial
7. Creating the OSD
This guide uses a directory for the OSD for simplicity, which is not suitable for production environments.
Create a directory for the OSD:
sudo mkdir /srv/osd
sudo chown ceph:ceph /srv/osd
Prepare and activate the OSD:
ceph-deploy osd prepare {your-node}:/srv/osd
ceph-deploy osd activate {your-node}:/srv/osd
Replace {your-node}
with your node's hostname.
8. Checking the Cluster
ceph status
The cluster should be active and clean.
9. Setting up CEPH Client
To access the cluster, you'll need to set up a CEPH client:
sudo apt get install -y ceph-fuse python-ceph python-rados python-rbd \
python-cephfs librados2 librbd1 libcephfs1 libradosstriper1 python-rgw
If the CEPH installation and setup were successful, you should be able to create, mount and use RADOS block devices on your VM to store Resiliate data.
This is a minimal, non-redundant setup. In a production environment, you'd want multiple OSDs and monitors for redundancy and performance. Also, don't use directories as OSDs in production.
Make sure to replace {your-node}
with your hostname where applicable in the
above commands.
For a more comprehensive guide to setting up CEPH, see the official CEPH documentation.
Important Note
This setup can provide a functional testing environment for Resiliate, but it's important to note that this is a minimal setup designed for getting started and testing out the basic functionality. The CEPH setup described here is a single-node cluster with non-redundant storage, which means that it lacks the redundancy and fault tolerance that a full, production-grade CEPH cluster would provide.
Before starting to test Resiliate, make sure the CEPH cluster is functioning as
expected. The command ceph status
can be used to check the health of the cluster.
If the cluster status is HEALTH_OK
, then you can proceed with setting up Resiliate.
When setting up Resiliate on this system, ensure that it is properly configured to use the CEPH storage. The details of this will depend on the specific requirements and options provided by Resiliate.
Moreover, the CEPH setup in this guide doesn't have any safeguards against data corruption that could be caused by hardware failures, software bugs, or other problems. Given that Resiliate includes features to protect against data corruption, this minimal environment could be used to test these features under controlled conditions. However, a real-world production setup would include more comprehensive data protection measures at both the CEPH level and the filesystem level.
Please refer to the Resiliate and CEPH documentation or consult with a qualified system administrator to ensure your testing setup meets your specific needs.

i. was already known to Licensee, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, at the time of disclosure;
ii. was generally available in the public domain at the time of disclosure to Licensee;
iii. became generally available in the public domain after disclosure other than through any act or omission of Licensee;

The Warranty shall not apply if (i) the Software is not used in accordance with the Documentation or this Agreement; (ii) any part of the Software has been modified by any entity other than sāf.ai; or (iii) a malfunction in the Software has been caused by any equipment or software not supplied by sāf.ai.

FOR THE BASE VERSION, EACH PARTY'S ENTIRE AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR CLAIMS UNDER OR RELATED TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL PAYMENTS PAID OR PAYABLE BY LICENSEE TO SĀF.AI IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE CLAIM. FOR THE COMMUNITY EDITION, EACH PARTY'S ENTIRE AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR CLAIMS UNDER OR RELATED TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100 USD).

THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY.

INDEMNIFICATION
Licensee shall indemnify and defend sāf.ai and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, and affiliates against all claims, liabilities, and expenses, including court costs and reasonable attorney fees, as a result of or in connection with
i) Licensee's failure to obtain any consent, authorization, or license required for sāf.ai's use or handling of data, software, materials, systems, networks, or the technology provided by Licensee;
ii) Licensee's use of the Software in a manner not expressly permitted by this Agreement including any manner inconsistent with the Documentation;
iii) any violation by Licensee of applicable laws; and
iv) any reasonable costs and attorney fees required for sāf.ai to respond to a subpoena, court order, or other official government inquiry regarding Licensee's use of the Software.
sāf.ai shall indemnify and defend Licensee against third party claims asserted against Licensee in a suit or action for direct patent infringement, direct copyright infringement, or direct trade secret misappropriation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, sāf.ai shall not indemnify or defend Licensee for claims asserted, in whole or in part, against
i) technology, designs, or requirements given by Licensee to sāf.ai, or
ii) any modification to the Software made by anyone other than sāf.ai.
sāf.ai may, at its sole discretion and at its own expense, with respect to any Software that is subject to a claim
i) procure Licensee with the right to continue using the Software;
ii) replace the Software with a non-infringing version of the Software; or
iii) modify the Software so that it becomes non-infringing.
Promptly upon learning of any claim for which indemnification is sought from the indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party of such claim and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information known and reasonably available to the indemnified party related to such claim; provided that any failure to comply with the provisions of this clause shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its indemnification obligations except to the extent such failure shall have adversely prejudiced the indemnifying party. Through counsel of its own choosing, the indemnified party has the right to participate in (but not control the defense of) any proceeding in which it is being indemnified under this Agreement, but in such event the indemnified party will be solely responsible for paying the legal fees and expenses for its own counsel. The indemnifying party will, however, continue to be solely responsible for all other expenses relating to the action, including legal fees and expenses of the counsel it selects to defend the claims. The indemnifying party shall not take any action, which unreasonably exposes the indemnified party to a risk of damages, which would not be covered by such indemnity, and may not settle any matter without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Code of Conduct
saf.ai's Commitment to Our Employees, Consumers & Business Partners
A message from leadership
Hi Friends,
Reflecting on the journey that we are starting, there will be many achievements and milestones along our way. We may be able to recall and recount them in the future, however we won't be able to pin down the date we earn the trust of our consumers and those that we do business with, because it doesn't happen in a day.
It happens over the course of years, and will grow as users derive more and more value from our products.
Being in cybersecurity, trust is our core asset. And it's one of the most fragile. One incident, one news story, one careless comment, and the trust we work so hard to earn can be lost. That's why the way we conduct our business is as important as the products we sell. Our Code of Conduct provides us with the resources and the information we need to operate our business responsibly, to make ethical decisions ... to maintain trust.
I encourage you to read our Code and use it to guide your actions.
Strive to do good in all that you do and remain true to the vision we are building together. Speak up if you have a concern or see something wrong, and seek guidance anytime you are unsure about the right thing to do.
We are proud of all that we have accomplished together and humbled to lead this great company. We know that, together, we'll continue to make a positive difference.
Ahmed Masud
President,
Begin Here
Our Code reflects who we are and what's important to us.
It provides an overview of the laws, regulations and company policies that apply to us and the work we do, but it does more than that. It builds upon our shared values. That's why we count on every employee and Board member to follow our Code and make decisions that will preserve the trust that others have placed in us. We expect nothing less from our business partners, including our consultants, distributors, technology partners and suppliers, as well as our subsidiaries and joint venture partners.
We understand the responsibility we have to communicate with them about our high standards of integrity and cannot ask them to violate any of our values and operating principles. Our Code is a great resource, but it doesn't cover every situation you may face on the job, so it's important to use good judgment in everything you do and to ask for help if you're ever unsure about the right course of action.
KNOW YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
Our good name is in your hands.
No matter what position you're in, what your job function is, or or where you do it, you are sāf.ai.
Think about that as you watch over every business relationship, every transaction and every product, and make sure your actions always reflect our values.
Follow our Code and policies as well as the laws and regulations of the country (or countries) where you work, and protect what we've built. And, complete your assigned training---it's the best way to stay up-to-date on what's expected of you.
If you see or suspect anything illegal or unethical, it may seem easier to look the other way or let someone else take the lead, but misconduct affects all of us. No concern is too minor to report. Share your concerns promptly and cooperate fully and honestly in any internal investigation. Be aware that anyone who violates our Code may face corrective action, up to and including termination of employment with sāf.ai.
If you manage people, you have an even greater responsibility. Lead by example, making sure your team members know the Code is a resource for them and that there is no difference between what you do and what you expect from others. Create the kind of workplace where employees feel comfortable coming forward with questions and concerns, and support them when they raise issues. Never retaliate against employees for sharing concerns in good faith, and prevent retaliation by others.
SPEAK UP WITHOUT FEAR
What if?
I suspect---but am not certain---that someone is violating our Code, should I keep my concerns to myself?
No. If you suspect a violation, say something. It's better to raise a potential problem than to wait and risk harm to others or to the company. Reporting "in good faith" means you are coming forward honestly with information that you believe to be true, even if, after investigation, it turns out that you were mistaken.
Culturally, it's not common to report a concern about someone that is in a leadership position. What should I do?
It's important to say something about your concerns. saf.ai respects its diverse workforce, considers various cultural norms when looking into concerns and takes all appropriate actions to protect the identity of the person who is sharing the information, as well as the information that's being shared.
We don't tolerate retaliation.
As a company we know it takes courage to come forward and share your concerns. We won't retaliate or permit retaliation against anyone who raises questions or concerns about corporate activities. We won't retaliate or permit retaliation against anyone who makes a good faith report about possible misconduct or legal violations to us or a government authority or assists in an investigation of misconduct or legal violation.
Regardless of who you contact, you can be confident that you're doing the right thing and that your concern will be handled promptly and appropriately. We investigate reports of misconduct thoroughly, disclosing information only to those who need it to resolve the issue.
KNOW WHERE TO GO FOR HELP
There are people ready to support you.
Have a question, problem or a concern? In most cases, your manager should be your first point of contact. They are likely in the best position to understand your concern and take the appropriate action. If you're uncomfortable speaking with your manager, or if you have already shared a concern and feel it's not being addressed appropriately, reach out to HR or another member of management or one of the following:
- The CEO of the company.
- One of the members of the saf.ai Board of Directors.
Nothing in the Code prohibits you from communicating with government agencies about possible violations of federal, state, or local laws or otherwise providing information to government agencies, filing a complaint with government agencies, or participating in government agency investigations or proceedings, and the Code does not require you to notify the Company of any such communications.
RESPECT OTHERS
We'll only be successful because of our amazing people.
We're one team, but we represent many ideas, experiences and backgrounds. We value each other's contributions and believe that everyone should have an equal chance to succeed---this is essential to advancing our goals and initiatives. Do your part to keep the saf.ai workplace a diverse, inclusive and respectful by driving a positive environment, and recognize the many strengths and talents our diverse colleagues bring to the workplace.
PROMOTE A SAFE SĀF.AI
We value the safety and security of every employee. We look out for each other. We follow our safety procedures and promote a culture of safety, because our people are our greatest asset.
Every employee is empowered to take immediate action for people safety regardless of role, title or responsibility. If you see a situation that could put others at risk, take action, and at all times and in all places, work to keep yourself and your coworkers injury-free.
Observe a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to acts or threats of violence. Be alert to what is going on around you, observe good security practices and speak up about any threats of potential violence.
Having, using or distributing alcohol or illegal drugs is also prohibited by our policies because substance abuse can impair your judgment, your performance and the safety of those who work with you. There may be instances where drinking alcoholic beverages while conducting company business is permitted, but make sure you comply with all laws and company policies and principles, and always exercise both moderation and good judgment.
UPHOLD HUMAN RIGHTS
What can you do?
Follow the employment laws where you work, be alert to abuses and speak up if you see or suspect possible labor law or human rights violations.
We are committed to fair employment practices everywhere we operate.
As a company, we respect the rights of every individual and abide by the employment laws in the markets where we operate. We support the principles established under the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and do not knowingly conduct business with any individual or company that participates in the exploitation of children (including child labor), physical punishment, forced or prison labor or human trafficking.
We expect our suppliers and partners to share our commitment to the same high standards.
See our statement on sāf.ai Statement Against Modern Slavery and Child Labor
KEEP PRIVATE INFORMATION PRIVATE
Good Practices.
It is important to practice good cyber-hygiene.
- Know what kind of information is considered personal.
- Follow the privacy laws and regulation of the country or countries where you work.
For details see our Cyber Security Policy
People trust us to protect their personal information.
We respect the privacy of our consumers, our customers, our coworkers and others with whom we conduct business, and we handle their personal information with care. "Personal information" is any information that could be used to identify someone, either directly or indirectly, such as a name, employee ID, email address or phone number. There are data privacy laws that prescribe how to responsibly collect, store, use, share, transfer and dispose of personal information, and we strive to comply with those laws everywhere we operate.
Follow our policies and protect any personal information that is entrusted to you. Use it only in the way it's meant to be used and don't share it with anyone inside or outside of the company in an unauthorized manner.
Practice good cybersecurity, too. Make sure you follow the processes and practices we have in place to protect our networks, computers, programs and data from attack, damage or unauthorized access.
Partners and suppliers may also be required to abide by the terms of Cyber Security Requirements for Partner Program as part of our partner program agreement(s).
NEVER BRIBE
What if?
A government official asked if I can help their daughter get an internship at our company. They say that they can make it worth my while.
Don't do it. "Worth your while" suggests that the government official may be planning to do something improper in exchange for the favor. You can provide the government employee information about an internship and allow his daughter to apply as all other candidates do. Doing anything more than that could be viewed as a bribe.
We compete for business based on the merit of our products.
That was the principle on which our very first sale was made, and it's the way we continue to do business today. Work honestly and with integrity. Don't offer bribes, accept bribes or let others bribe for you. And do everything you can to prevent bribery by others who conduct business on our behalf---as a company, we're not only responsible for your actions, but also the actions of any third-party who represents us.
Remember, a bribe can be something other than cash. A gift, a favor, even an offer of a loan or a job could be considered a bribe if it's offered in exchange for a decision. Before offering anything of value, check our policies and ask questions about what's okay, and what's not. The laws in some countries impose bigger penalties for bribing government officials, but for us, it's simple: bribery---of anyone, at any organization, at any level---is always wrong.
KNOW THE RULES ABOUT GIFTS AND ENTERTAINMENT
We don't give or receive anything that is inappropriate.
An occasional gift or offer of entertainment is often viewed as a normal part of doing business. But sometimes even a well-intentioned gift or offer can cross the line. And any gift that creates a sense of obligation or compromises your professional judgment is always inappropriate. That's why we have guidelines in place---to identify the circumstances under which an offer is okay---and when it's not.
Make sure you follow the rules, and be aware of any special restrictions. For example, giving anything of value to a government official can be problematic. Always ask for help from the Law Department if the right thing to do is unclear.
FOLLOW IMPORT, EXPORT AND TRADE COMPLIANCE RULES
We comply with the laws that govern global trade of our products.
As a United States-based company conducting business around the world, it's critical that we know and follow the international trade laws that regulate the import and export of our products.
If you are involved in the movement of products, services, information or technology across international borders, make sure you know and comply with the requirements associated with the countries in which you do business.
Be aware that the laws of more than one country may apply.
We must carefully evaluate business opportunities within countries that are subject to U.S. trade embargoes or economic sanctions and strive to ensure that the strict regulations governing these markets are evaluated. And we don't participate in or promote boycotts that the United States does not support.
PROTECT OUR ASSETS
We're good stewards of our physical, electronic and information assets.
Our assets include everything that our company owns or uses to conduct business. Each of us is entrusted with the care of these assets, so be proactive in safeguarding them from loss, damage, theft, waste and improper use.
Physical and electronic assets such as equipment, tools, inventory, computer hardware and software are provided in order for you to do your job.
Occasional personal use of assets such as phones, computers, email and the Internet is permitted, but make sure your use doesn't interfere with work (yours or anyone else's) and doesn't violate our policies or the law.
Be aware that anything you write, send, download or store on our systems is company property, and we may monitor your use---you shouldn't have any expectation of personal privacy when using our systems.
Information is also a critical asset. Confidential information and intellectual property represent the outcome of significant company investment and years of hard work. Trade secrets, patents, copyrights, trademarks, business plans, engineering ideas, databases, customer lists---when you help protect these assets, you help protect our competitive advantage.
sāf.ai Future
We are creating our future. As a young company it is up to us to decide what that will mean for us in the next decade and for our successors. At the end of the day it's up to us to hold firm to our principles and to hold each other accountable to the highest standards of integrity.
If you have any questions about this Code, please contact Ahmed Masud (President).

Subscription Services.
a) Authorized Users.
i) Selecting Authorized Users. If we have agreed to provide you with Subscription Services, you may select Authorized Users to access and use the Subscription Services, subject to the restrictions set forth below and to any numeric or other limits established in an Order Form or as otherwise agreed to by the parties. You must obtain separate credentials (user IDs and passwords) via the Subscription Services for each Authorized User.
ii) Your Responsibilities Regarding Authorized Users. You shall at all times be responsible for and expressly assume the risks associated with all use of the Subscription Services under an Authorized User's account (including for the payment of Fees related to such use), whether such action was taken by an Authorized User or by another party, and whether or not such action was authorized by an Authorized User, provided that such action was not (1) taken by sāf.ai or by a party acting under the direction of sāf.ai or (2) an action by a third party that sāf.ai should reasonably have prevented. This responsibility includes the security of each Authorized User's credentials, and you shall not share (and shall instruct each Authorized User not to share) such credentials with any other person or entity, or otherwise permit any other person or entity to access or use the Subscription Services, except to the extent permitted in an Order Form.
b) Provision of the Subscription Services. Subject to your, and your Authorized Users', compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including payment of any Fees as due under Section 5 (Payment)), sāf.ai will provide you with the Subscription Services, and you and your Authorized Users may access and use the Subscription Services solely for your internal business purposes, unless any other permitted use is set forth in an applicable Order Form. sāf.ai reserves the right to improve or otherwise modify its internal System architecture at any time subject to maintaining appropriate industry standards of practice relating to the provision and security of the Subscription Services, and provided that any such modification does not materially diminish the core functionality of the Subscription Services. As between the parties, you retain all ownership rights in Customer Data, Customer Results and, subject to sāf.ai rights in Usage Data (as defined in Section 3.3(a)), Customer Instructional Input, and any other information or materials you provide to sāf.ai to enable sāf.ai to perform any of the sāf.ai Services. Additionally, to the extent Customer utilizes third party open source libraries within the Customer Instructional Input, the foregoing shall not be read to imply ownership by Customer in such libraries.
c) Shared Responsibility Deployment.
i) Generally. You acknowledge that the Platform Services are implemented in a manner that divides the Platform Services between the Customer Cloud Environment and the sāf.ai Control Plane, and that accordingly each party must undertake certain technical and organizational measures in order to protect the Platform Services and the Customer Content. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer acknowledges and agrees that (1) in order to utilize the Platform Services, Customer must have an account with the Cloud Provider; (2) sāf.ai does not host the Customer Cloud Environment into which the Platform Services are deployed or the Systems in which your Customer Data may be stored (e.g., an AWS S3 bucket); (3) while certain Customer Data may occasionally be present within the Platform Services (e.g., within the Customer Results), the Platform Services are not designed to archive or permanently retain Customer Data, but merely to provide an environment to facilitate Customer's processing of Customer Data within the Customer Cloud Environment by permitting Customer to generate and execute Customer Instructional Input and view Customer Results; and (4) sāf.ai and the Platform Services do not provide backup services or disaster recovery to enable recovery of Customer Data. Accordingly, and without limiting the foregoing, but subject to Section 9.1, sāf.ai is not responsible for any loss, destruction, alteration, or corruption of Customer Content, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of sāf.ai or to the extent caused by any third party that sāf.ai should reasonably have prevented from having access.
ii) Customer Responsibilities. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Customer is responsible for (1) protecting the security of all Customer credentials used to access the Subscription Services (with sāf.ai also responsible for taking adequate steps to protect Customer credentials to the extent such credentials are within the control of sāf.ai); (2) securing the Customer Cloud Environment and any Customer System (with such steps to include without limitation the regular rotation of access keys and other industry standard steps to preclude unauthorized access); (3) backing up Customer Instructional Input (e.g., via Github or other third party system); (4) backing up and securing Customer Data under Customer's control within the Customer Cloud Environment or other Customer controlled System (e.g., by turning on versioning and encryption within AWS S3); and (5) any security or other issues resulting from any Customer Instructional Input, and Customer expressly assumes the risks associated with the foregoing responsibilities.
iii) sāf.ai Responsibilities. sāf.ai acknowledges and agrees that, as between the parties and except to the extent caused by the action or intentional or negligent inaction of Customer or Customer's Authorized Users, including without limitation any customizations or configurations of the Platform Services by Customer or anything specified to be Customer's responsibility in (ii), above, sāf.ai is primarily responsible for (1) the operation (excluding to the extent such operation is directed by the Customer Instructional Content) of the sāf.ai Control Plane (including the user interface of the Platform Services and the portion of the Platform Services within the sāf.ai Control Plane in which the Customer Instructional Input and Customer Results are held until deleted by Customer) and the sāf.ai software that operates the computing resources in the Customer Data Plane; and (2) implementing reasonable technical and organizational measures designed in accordance with the ISMS Standard (defined below) to protect the security of the foregoing. Additionally, while it is Customer's responsibility to back up Customer Instructional Input, sāf.ai will, at Customer's reasonable request, provide commercially reasonable assistance with recovery efforts where reasonably possible.

Generally. sāf.ai may provide, as set forth in an Order Form, certain Training Services, delivered (i) by instructors ("Instructor-led Training Services"), either in person or online-only; or (ii) as a self-paced online training course ("Self-Paced Training Services"). If we have agreed to provide you with Training Services, we will provide qualified training personnel and/or suitable training materials.

c. Self-Paced Training Services. sāf.ai may make available certain Self-Paced Training Services.

Customer Data and Customer Instructional Input.
a. Ownership; Usage Data. As between you and sāf.ai, you retain all ownership rights in Customer Content. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that sāf.ai may collect usage data and telemetry regarding your Authorized Users' use of the Subscription Services and that such usage data may occasionally contain Customer Instructional Input (e.g., it may contain the queries entered by an Authorized User) but will not contain Customer Data or Customer Results ("Usage Data"). sāf.ai will not share or publicly make available any Usage Data that identifies Customer, or any of its Authorized Users, other data subjects, or customers, nor use any Usage Data in a manner that derives its value from the unique aspects of your Customer Instructional Input.

i. any data for which you do not have all rights, power and authority necessary for its collection, use and processing as contemplated by this Agreement;
ii. any data with respect to which your use and provision to sāf. ai pursuant to this Agreement would breach any agreement between you and any third party; or

The Agreement may be terminated by either party without cause on thirty (30) days' prior written notice if (a) there are no operative Order Forms outstanding or (b) the other party is in material breach of the Agreement and the breaching party fails to cure the breach prior to the end of the notice period. If the Agreement terminates pursuant to the prior sentence due to sāf.ai's material breach, sāf.ai will refund to you that portion of any prepayments related to sāf.ai Services not yet provided. Either party can immediately terminate the Agreement if the other becomes insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, has a receiver, examiner, or administrator of its undertaking or the whole or a substantial part of its assets appointed, or an order is made, or an effective resolution is passed, for its administration, examinership, receivership, liquidation, winding-up or other similar process, or has any distress, execution or other process levied or enforced against the whole or a substantial part of its assets (which is not discharged, paid out, withdrawn or removed within 30 days), or is subject to any proceedings which are equivalent or substantially similar to any of the foregoing under any applicable jurisdiction, or ceases to conduct business or threatens to do so.
- Term of Order Forms. The Term of an Order Form shall be as specified in the Order Form.
- Monthly PAYG Services. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, sāf.ai may suspend or terminate any Monthly PAYG Services account, and delete any Customer Content relating to such account that may be stored within the Subscription Services or other sāf.ai's Systems, upon thirty (30) day's prior written notice (email sufficient) if sāf.ai reasonably determines the account is inactive as set forth in the Acceptable Use Policy.
- Suspension; Termination. sāf.ai may temporarily suspend or terminate the sāf.ai Services at any time (a) immediately without notice if sāf.ai reasonably suspects that you have violated Section 3 or your responsibilities set forth in Section 2.2(c) in a manner that may cause material harm or material risk of harm to sāf.ai or to any other party, (b) upon ten (10) business days' notice if sāf.ai reasonably suspects that you have committed any other violation of Section 3 or your responsibilities set forth in Section 2.2(c) or (c) if you or your Responsible Customer (as defined below) fail to pay undisputed Fees after receiving notice that you are more than thirty (30) days delinquent in payment.
- Effects of Termination. Upon termination for any reason, you shall purge all stored elements of the sāf.ai Services from your Systems, sāf.ai will, upon your written request, purge all your Confidential Information from its Systems, and each party, upon request by the other party, shall provide certification of such action. All provisions of the Agreement that by their nature should survive termination shall so survive, including without limitation each party's confidentiality obligations under Section 6.
-
Payment. Unless Customer's usage of the sāf.ai Services is being paid for by a third party under contract with sāf.ai (such third party, the "Responsible Customer"), Customer shall pay all Fees specified in the applicable Order Form. With respect to Direct Orders, except as otherwise specified therein: (a) all Fees owed to sāf.ai shall be paid in U.S. Dollars; (b) invoiced payments shall be due within 30 days of the date of your receipt of each invoice; and (c) Fees for all sāf.ai Services shall be invoiced in full upon execution of the applicable Order Form. With respect to a Reseller Order, payment terms shall be specified on such Reseller Order, provided that should Customer fail to pay Fees when due to an Authorized Reseller, sāf.ai may seek payment directly from Customer. All past due payments, except to the extent reasonably disputed, shall accrue interest at the highest rate allowed under applicable law but in no event more than one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month. You shall be solely responsible for payment of any applicable sales, value added or use taxes, or similar government fees or taxes.
-
Confidentiality; Data Protection.
- Confidentiality. A receiving party will not use the disclosing party's Confidential Information except as permitted under this Agreement or to enforce its rights under this Agreement and will not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party except to those of its employees and/or subcontractors who have a bona fide need to know such Confidential Information for the performance or enforcement of this Agreement; provided that each such employee and/or subcontractor is bound by a written agreement that contains use and disclosure restrictions consistent with the terms set forth in this Section 6.1. Each receiving party will protect the disclosing party's Confidential Information from unauthorized use and disclosure using efforts equivalent to the efforts that the receiving party ordinarily uses with respect to its own Confidential Information of similar nature and in no event using less than a reasonable standard of care; provided, however, that a party may disclose such Confidential Information as required by applicable law, regulation, court order or action by applicable regulatory authority, subject to the party required to make such disclosure giving reasonable notice to the other party to enable it to contest such order or requirement or limit the scope of such request. The provisions of this Section 6.1 shall supersede any non-disclosure agreement by and between the parties (whether entered into before, on or after the Effective Date) that would purport to address the confidentiality and security of Customer Data and such agreement shall have no further force or effect with respect to Customer Data.
- Data Protection. sāf.ai is certified as ISO/IEC 27001:2013 compliant as of the Effective Date and shall remain certified to this or an equivalent or greater standard (the "ISMS Standard") throughout the term of this Agreement. sāf.ai will maintain appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards according to the ISMS Standard for protection of the security and confidentiality of Customer Data under sāf.ai's control. Those safeguards will include, but will not be limited to, measures designed to prevent unauthorized access to or disclosure of Customer Data under sāf.ai's control. Without limiting the foregoing, sāf.ai acknowledges that it may receive or have access to Personal Data provided by your Authorized Users during the term of this Agreement. Except with respect to a free trial, the terms of the DPA are hereby incorporated by reference and shall apply to the extent Customer Data includes Personal Data, as defined in the DPA. To the extent Personal Data from the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom and Switzerland are processed by sāf.ai, the EU-US and/or Swiss-US Privacy Shield, and/or the Standard Contractual Clauses shall apply, as further set forth in the DPA. Where the Standard Contractual Clauses are applicable according to the DPA, Customer and its applicable Affiliates are each the data exporter, and Customer's acceptance of this Agreement, and Customer's or an applicable Affiliate's execution of an Order Form, shall be treated as its execution of the Standard Contractual Clauses and Appendices.
-
Warranties; Disclaimer.
- Warranties. sāf.ai warrants that, during the term of the Agreement, it will employ appropriate industry standards of practice designed to: (a) ensure that its provision of the sāf.ai Services under this Agreement will not infringe any third party Intellectual Property Rights or other proprietary rights; (b) prevent the transmission of malware or malicious code via the sāf.ai Services; (c) meet its performance, confidentiality and other obligations under this Agreement; (d) prevent unauthorized access to or disclosure of Customer Content; and (e) ensure that the Platform Services operate during the applicable Order Form term(s) substantially in accordance with the Documentation.

Indemnification.
- Indemnification by sāf.ai. Subject to Section 8.5, sāf.ai will defend Customer against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against Customer by a third party (a "Claim Against Customer") alleging that the sāf.ai Services as provided to Customer by sāf.ai or Customer's use of the sāf.ai Services in accordance with the Documentation and this Agreement infringes or misappropriates such party's Intellectual Property Rights (an "IP Claim"), and will indemnify Customer from and against any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against Customer as a result of, or for amounts paid by Customer under a settlement approved by sāf.ai in writing of, a Claim Against Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, sāf.ai will have no liability for any infringement or misappropriation claim of any kind if such claim arises from: (a) any public open source version of any sāf.ai software (located at github.com/safai-labs), if the claim of infringement or misappropriation does not allege with specificity that the infringement or misappropriation arises from the Platform Services (as opposed to saf.ai AIFS or CENC software); (b) the combination, operation or use of the sāf.ai Services with equipment, devices, software or data (including without limitation your Confidential Information) not supplied by sāf.ai, if a claim would not have occurred but for such combination, operation or use; or (c) your or an Authorized User's use of the sāf.ai Services other than in accordance with the Documentation and this Agreement.
- Injunction. If sāf.ai receives information about an infringement or misappropriation claim related to a sāf.ai Service, then sāf.ai may at its sole option and expense: (a) replace or modify the applicable sāf.ai Services to make them non-infringing and of equivalent functionality; (b) procure for you the right to continue using the sāf.ai Services under the terms of this Agreement; or (c) if sāf.ai is unable to accomplish either (a) or (b) despite using its reasonable efforts, terminate your rights and sāf.ai's obligation under this Agreement with respect to such sāf.ai Services and refund to you any Fees prepaid by you for sāf.ai Services not yet provided.
- Indemnification by Customer. Subject to Section 8.5, Customer shall defend sāf.ai and its Affiliates and its and each of their officers, employees, directors, and agents (each, a "sāf.ai Indemnitee") against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against a sāf.ai Indemnitee by a third party (a "Claim Against sāf.ai") (a) alleging that any Customer Content or its use with the sāf.ai Services infringes or misappropriates such party's Intellectual Property Rights; or (b) arising from or related to Customer's use of the sāf.ai Services in violation of any Law or this Agreement, and shall indemnify each sāf.ai Indemnitee from and against any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against a sāf.ai Indemnitee as a result of, or for amounts paid by a sāf.ai Indemnitee under a settlement approved by Customer in writing of, a Claim Against sāf.ai. Sole Remedy for Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights. SUBJECT TO SECTION 8.5 BELOW, THE FOREGOING SECTIONS 8.1 and 8.2 STATE THE ENTIRE OBLIGATION OF SĀF.AI AND ITS LICENSORS WITH RESPECT TO ANY ALLEGED OR ACTUAL INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS BY THE SĀF.AI SERVICES.
- Conditions of Indemnification. As a condition to an indemnifying party's (each, an "Indemnitor") obligations under this Section 8, a party seeking indemnification (each, an "Indemnitee") will: (a) promptly notify the Indemnitor of the claim for which the Indemnitee is seeking indemnification (but late notice will only relieve Indemnitor of its obligation to indemnify to the extent that it has been prejudiced by the delay); (b) grant the Indemnitor sole control of the defense (including selection of counsel) and settlement of the claim; (c) provide the Indemnitor, at the Indemnitor's expense, with all assistance, information and authority reasonably required for the defense and settlement of the claim; (d) preserve and will not waive legal, professional or any other privilege attaching to any of the records, documents, or other information in relation to such claim without prior notification of consent by the Indemnitor. The Indemnitor will not settle any claim in a manner that does not fully discharge the claim against an Indemnitee or that imposes any obligation on, or restricts any right of, an Indemnitee without the Indemnitee's prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. An Indemnitee has the right to retain counsel, at the Indemnitee's expense, to participate in the defense or settlement of any claim. The Indemnitor will not be liable for any settlement or compromise that an Indemnitee enters into without the Indemnitor's prior written consent.

THE FOREGOING LIMITATION SHALL APPLY WHETHER AN ACTION IS IN CONTRACT OR TORT AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, BUT WILL NOT LIMIT CUSTOMER'S AND ITS AFFILIATES' PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE "FEES AND PAYMENT" SECTION ABOVE.
-
Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, but subject to Section 9.1, any liability relating to sāf.ai Services provided free of charge, including any Beta Services or sāf.ai Services provided during a free trial period, shall be limited to five thousand US dollars (USD $5,000).

-
Equitable Relief. Each party acknowledges and agrees that the other party may be irreparably harmed in the event that such party breaches Section 6 (Confidentiality), and that monetary damages alone cannot fully compensate the non-breaching party for such harm. Accordingly, each party hereto hereby agrees that the non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent or stop such breach, and to obtain specific enforcement thereof. Any such equitable remedies obtained shall be in addition to, and not foreclose, any other remedies that may be available.

-
Entire Agreement, Construction, Amendment and Execution. This Agreement (including all Order Forms) is the complete and exclusive understanding and agreement between the parties regarding its subject matter. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall limit or exclude any liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation. To the extent any provision in an Order Form clearly conflicts with a provision of these Terms or a provision of an earlier Order Form, the provision in the new Order Form shall be binding and the conflicting provision in these Terms or in the earlier Order Form shall be deemed modified solely to the extent reasonably necessary to eliminate the conflict and solely with respect to the new Order Form (unless expressly intended to permanently amend the Agreement). If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent possible, and the other provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The headings in this Agreement are solely for convenience, and shall not be taken into consideration in interpretation of the Agreement. Each party acknowledges and agrees that it has adequate sophistication, including legal representation, to fully review and understand this Agreement; therefore, in interpretation of the Agreement with respect to any drafting ambiguities that may be identified or alleged, no presumption shall be given in favor of the non-drafting party. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by mutual written agreement of the parties. Without limiting the foregoing, no Customer purchase order shall be deemed to modify an Order Form or this Agreement unless expressly pre-authorized in writing by sāf.ai. This Agreement (including all Order Forms) may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. A party's electronic signature or transmission of any document by electronic means shall be deemed to bind such party as if signed and transmitted in physical form.
-
Assignment. No assignment, novation or transfer of a party's rights and obligations under this Agreement ("Assignment") is permitted except with the prior written approval of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that either party may freely make an Assignment to a successor in interest upon a change of Control.

Force Majeure. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Customer understands and agrees that its use of the sāf.ai Services may be interrupted by circumstances beyond sāf.ai's reasonable control, including without limitation acts of God, acts of government, changes in law or regulations, acts or omissions of third parties, flood, fire, earthquakes, civil unrest, wars, acts of terror, strikes or other actions taken by labor organizations, computer, telecommunications, the Internet, Internet service provider or hosting facility failures or delays involving hardware, software or power systems not within sāf.ai's possession or reasonable control, and network intrusions or denial of service attacks, or any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing that is beyond sāf.ai's reasonable control (individually or collectively as applicable, "Force Majeure"). sāf.ai shall not be responsible or otherwise liable for any Force Majeure or any consequences thereof.

This DPA has been pre-signed on behalf of sāf.ai. The Standard Contractual Clauses in Annex C have been pre-signed by sāf.ai, Inc. as the data importer. This DPA will be null and void if any changes are made to it beyond filling out the sections described in 5, below.
-
If you execute an Agreement that explicitly states that this DPA is incorporated, you do not need to take any further action to execute this DPA; your execution of the Agreement constitutes execution of the DPA.
-
If you have not executed an Agreement that explicitly states this DPA is incorporated, to complete this DPA, Customer must:
a. Complete the information and sign the main DPA [signature box]_.
b. Complete the information as the data exporter in [Annex A]_.
c. Complete the information and sign the [Appendix 1]_ and [Annex C]_.
-
Send the completed and signed DPA to sāf.ai by email, directed to dpa@saf.ai.
Upon the earlier of (i) the execution of an Agreement that explicitly states that the DPA is incorporated into the Agreement by reference; and (ii) receipt of the validly completed DPA by sāf.ai at the above email address, this DPA will become legally binding.
HOW THIS DPA APPLIES TO CUSTOMER AND ITS AFFILIATES
If the Customer entity signing this DPA is a party to the Agreement, this DPA is an addendum to and forms part of the Agreement. In such case, the sāf.ai entity that is party to the Agreement is party to this DPA. If the Customer entity signing this DPA has executed an Order Form with sāf.ai pursuant to the Agreement, but is not itself a party to the Agreement, this DPA is an addendum to that Order Form and applicable renewal Order Forms, and the sāf.ai entity that is party to such Order Form is party to this DPA. If the Customer entity signing this DPA is neither a party to an Order Form nor the Agreement, this DPA is not valid and is not legally binding. Such entity should request that the Customer entity who is a party to the Agreement executes this DPA.

SHARED RESPONSIBILITY DEPLOYMENT
- Customer acknowledges that the Platform Services are implemented in a manner that divides the Platform Services between the Customer Cloud Environment and the sāf.ai Control Plane, and that accordingly each party must undertake certain technical and organizational measures in order to protect the Platform Services and the Customer Content.
- Without limiting the foregoing, and except to the extent otherwise set forth in the Agreement, Customer acknowledges and agrees that (1) in order to utilize the Platform Services, Customer must have an account with the Cloud Provider; (2) sāf.ai does not host the Customer Cloud Environment into which the Platform Services are deployed or the systems in which your Customer Data may be stored (e.g., an AWS S3 bucket); (3) while certain Customer Data may occasionally be present within the Platform Services (e.g., within the Customer Results), the Platform Services are not designed to archive or permanently retain Customer Data, but merely to provide an environment to facilitate Customer's processing of Customer Data within the Customer Cloud Environment by permitting Customer to generate and execute Customer Instructional Input and view Customer Results; (4) sāf.ai and the Platform Services do not provide backup services or disaster recovery to enable recovery of Customer Data; and (5) subject to any limitations under the DPA or the Agreement regarding what Customer Data may contain, the choice of which Customer Data you process within sāf.ai and manner in which you choose to process it are under the control of Customer and that accordingly sāf.ai will generally be unaware of the types of or details regarding the Customer Personal Data you may process within the Subscription Services.
- Customer acknowledges that the Subscription Services are data-type agnostic, and that sāf.ai does not have any knowledge of the actual data or types of data contained in the Customer Data. Accordingly, Customer shall notify sāf.ai prior to providing any Sensitive Data. Additionally, if reasonably required by Customer, sāf.ai shall enter into a Business Associate Agreement to enable Customer to comply with its obligations under HIPAA/HITECH ACT ("BAA"). sāf.ai may impose additional requirements on Customer prior to the use of the Subscription Services by Customer to process any Sensitive Data, which may include additional fees.
-
PURPOSE; SCOPE; OWNERSHIP OF DATA
- Customer and sāf.ai have entered into the Agreement pursuant to which Customer is being provided sāf.ai Services, including the Subscription Services. In using the Subscription Services, Customer may submit through the Subscription Services or otherwise provide access to sāf.ai certain Customer Data. This DPA applies where and only to the extent that sāf.ai processes Customer Personal Data on behalf of Customer as a Processor in the course of providing sāf.ai Services pursuant to the Agreement. Additionally, Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 5.1, and 9 shall only apply to Customer Personal Data within the scope of the DPA to the extent such rights are set forth in or required by Applicable Data Protection Laws.
- As between the parties, Customer is either the Controller of Customer Personal Data or, if Customer is acting on behalf of a third-party Controller, then a Processor. All Customer Data (including all Customer Personal Data) processed under the terms of this DPA and the Agreement shall remain, as between the parties, the property of Customer.
- Accordingly, sāf.ai shall process Customer Personal Data (i) submitted to sāf.ai by Customer through the Subscription Services only as a Processor acting on behalf of Customer (whether as Controller or itself a Processor on behalf of third party Controllers); and (ii) in accordance with Customer's documented instructions as set forth in this DPA, the Agreement(s) or as otherwise necessary to provide the Subscription Services; provided that sāf.ai shall inform Customer if, in its opinion, Customer's processing instructions infringe any law or regulation; in such event, sāf.ai is entitled to refuse processing of Personal Data that it believes to be in violation of any law or regulation. Without limiting the foregoing, sāf.ai will not 'sell' Customer Personal Data (as such term is defined in the CCPA).
- Additionally, when using the Subscription Services, sāf.ai will collect Usage Data. Where Usage Data contains Customer Personal Data (e.g., within Customer Instructional Input), sāf.ai shall act as Customer's Processor under Applicable Data Protection Laws and such Usage Data will be subject to the applicable terms and conditions of this DPA. Otherwise, to the extent any Usage Data is considered Personal Data under Applicable Data Protection Laws, sāf.ai is the Controller of such Usage Data and shall process such Usage Data in accordance with the Agreement and Applicable Data Protection Laws. sāf.ai will not share (other than with Subprocessors or third parties providing services to sāf.ai who agree to terms at least as restrictive regarding the processing of Usage Data as those set forth herein) or publicly make available any Usage Data that identifies Customer, or any of its Authorized Users, other data subjects, or customers, nor use any Usage Data in a manner that derives its value from the unique aspects of your Customer Instructional Input. Without limiting the foregoing, sāf.ai will not 'sell' any Usage Data (as such term is defined in the CCPA) that contains any Personal Data subject to the CCPA.
-
SUBPROCESSING
-
Customer agrees that sāf.ai may appoint Subprocessors to assist it in providing the sāf.ai Services by processing Customer Personal Data solely for the purpose of providing the sāf.ai Services, provided that such Subprocessors:
(a) agree to act only on sāf.ai's instructions when processing the Customer Personal Data (which instructions shall be consistent with Customer's processing instructions to sāf.ai); and
(b) agree to protect the Customer Personal Data to a standard consistent with the requirements of this DPA, including by implementing and maintaining appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the Customer Personal Data they process consistent with the Security Standards described in Annex B.
-
sāf.ai remains fully liable for any breach of this DPA or the Agreement that is caused by an act, error or omission of such Subprocessor to the extent sāf.ai would have been liable for such act, error or omission had it been caused by sāf.ai.
-
sāf.ai shall maintain an up-to-date list at saf.ai/subprocessors (also available upon request to privacy@saf.ai) of all Subprocessors used in the provision of the sāf.ai Services who may have access to or process Customer Personal Data received by sāf.ai from Customer through the Subscription Services under the Agreement ("Subprocessor List").
-
Prior to the addition or change of any Subprocessors, sāf.ai shall provide notice to Customer, which may include by updating the Subprocessor List on the website listed above, not less than 30 days prior to the date on which the Subprocessor shall commence processing Customer Personal Data. sāf.ai will make available a means by which Customer may subscribe to receive notifications of changes to the Subprocessor List (which may include without limitation the provision of an RSS feed). It is Customer's responsibility to check this website for changes.
-
In the event that Customer objects to the processing of Customer Personal Data by any newly appointed Subprocessor as described in Section 4.4, it shall inform sāf.ai in writing within 10 calendar days after notice has been provided by sāf.ai. In the event that Customer timely objects on reasonable grounds relating to the protection of Customer Personal Data sāf.ai will either, at sāf.ai option (a) work with Customer to address Customer's reasonable objections and thereafter proceed to use the Subprocessor to perform such processing; (b) instruct the Subprocessor to not process Customer Personal Data, which Customer acknowledges and agrees may result in new or improved Subscription Services features enabled by the Subprocessor not being available to Customer; or (c) allow Customer to terminate this DPA and the Agreement with sāf.ai immediately on notice and upon receipt of such notice provide Customer with a pro rata reimbursement of any sums Customer may have paid in advance for Subscription Services to be provided but not yet received by Customer. :::
-
Customer acknowledges that any third party services that may be linked to or used within the sāf.ai Services (e.g., Customer may use GitHub to backup Customer's notebooks) ("Non-sāf.ai Services") are governed solely by the terms and conditions and privacy policies of such Non-sāf.ai Services, and sāf.ai does not endorse, is not responsible or liable for, and makes no representations as to any aspect of such Non-sāf.ai Services, including, without limitation, their content or the manner in which they handle your Customer Data (including Customer Personal Data) or any interaction between Customer and the provider of such Non-sāf.ai Services. sāf.ai is not liable for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with Customer's enablement, access or use of any such Non-sāf.ai Services, or Customer's reliance on the privacy practices, data security processes or other policies of such Non-sāf.ai Services. The providers of Non-sāf.ai Services shall not be deemed Subprocessors for any purpose under this DPA.
-
-
COOPERATION
-
Customer acknowledges that the Subscription Services provide Customer with a number of controls that Customer may use to retrieve, correct, delete or restrict Customer Data, which Customer may use to assist it in connection with its obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws, including its obligations relating to responding to requests from data subjects or applicable data protection authorities. To the extent that Customer is required to respond to a DSR (as defined below) under Applicable Data Protection Laws and is unable to access the relevant Customer Data within the Subscription Services using such controls or otherwise, sāf.ai shall reasonably cooperate with Customer (at Customer's request and expense) to enable Customer (or its third party Controller) to respond to any requests, complaints or other communications from Data Subjects and regulatory or judicial bodies relating to the processing of Customer Personal Data under the Agreement(s), including requests from Data Subjects seeking to exercise their rights under Applicable Data Protection Laws (a 'data subject request' or "DSR") insofar as this is possible In the event that any such DSR, complaint or communication is made directly to sāf.ai, sāf.ai shall promptly pass such communication on to Customer and shall not respond to such communication without Customer' express authorization. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not prohibit sāf.ai from communicating with a Data Subject if it is not reasonably apparent on the face of the communication to which customer of sāf.ai the DSR relates.
-
If sāf.ai receives a subpoena, court order, warrant or other legal demand from a third party (including law enforcement or other public or judicial authorities) seeking the disclosure of Customer Personal Data, sāf.ai shall not disclose any information but shall, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, promptly notify Customer in writing of such request and reasonably cooperate with Customer if it wishes to limit, challenge or protect against such disclosure.
-
To the extent required under Applicable Data Protection Laws, sāf.ai will assist Customer (or its third party Controller), at Customer's request and expense, to conduct a data protection impact assessment and, where legally required, consult with applicable data protection authorities in respect of any proposed processing activity that presents a high risk to Data Subjects. Because the need for a data protection impact assessment, if any, will arise from the choices made by Customer regarding what Customer Data is to be processed and the processing activities performed, Customer shall be responsible for any costs arising from sāf.ai's provision of such assistance.
-
At Customer's written request, sāf.ai will make reasonable efforts to provide Customer with all information necessary to demonstrate its compliance with Applicable Data Protection Laws.
-
Customer acknowledges that sāf.ai may be required under Applicable Data Protection Laws to: (a) collect and maintain records of certain information, including the name and contact details of each Processor and/or Controller on behalf of which sāf.ai is acting and, where applicable, of such Processor's or Controller's local representative and data protection officer; and (b) make such information available to the applicable data protection authorities. Accordingly, Customer will, where requested, provide such information to sāf.ai via the Services or other means provided by sāf.ai, and will ensure that all information provided is kept accurate and up-to-date.
-
If the Applicable Data Protection Laws and corresponding obligations related to the processing of Personal Data change, the parties shall discuss in good faith any necessary amendments.
-
-
DATA ACCESS & SECURITY MEASURES
- sāf.ai shall ensure that any Authorized Person is subject to a duty of confidentiality (whether a contractual or statutory duty) and that they process Customer Personal Data only for the purpose of delivering the sāf.ai Services under the Agreement(s) to Customer.
- sāf.ai will implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect against Security Breaches and to preserve the security, availability, integrity and confidentiality of Customer Personal Data ("Security Measures") and will review such Security Measures on at least an annual basis. Such measures shall have regard to the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons.
- Because Customer rather than sāf.ai chooses what Customer Personal Data may be processed within the sāf.ai Services, Customer acknowledges its obligation to review the Security Measures prior to providing sāf.ai with access to such Customer Personal Data and represents, as of the date of this DPA, in light of the Customer Personal Data that Customer intends to process through the sāf.ai Services, that it has no reason to believe, provided the Security Measures identified at Annex B have been properly implemented by sāf.ai, that such Security Measures are insufficient to adequately protect the Customer Personal Data according to Applicable Data Protection Laws.
-
SECURITY INCIDENTS
-
In the event of a Security Breach, sāf.ai shall inform Customer without undue delay and provide written details of the Security Breach, including the type of data affected and the identity of affected person(s) as soon as such information becomes known or available to sāf.ai.
-
Furthermore, in the event of a Security Breach, sāf.ai shall:
(a) provide timely information and cooperation as Customer may reasonably require to fulfill Customer's data breach reporting obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws; and
(b) take such measures and actions as are appropriate to remedy or mitigate the effects of the Security Breach and shall keep Customer up-to-date about all developments in connection with the Security Breach.
-
The decision whether to provide notification, public/regulatory communication or a press release (each, a "Notification") concerning the Security Breach shall be solely at Customer's discretion, but the content of any Notification that names sāf.ai or from which sāf.ai's identity could reasonably be determined shall be subject to the prior approval of sāf.ai, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except as otherwise required by applicable laws and provided that conditioning of the Notification on sāf.ai's approval shall not prevent Customer from complying with Applicable Data Protection Laws.
-
-
SECURITY REPORTS & INSPECTIONS; AUDITS
-
The parties acknowledge that sāf.ai uses internal auditors to verify the adequacy of its Security Measures. This audit:
(a) will be performed at least annually;
(b) will be performed according to ISO 27001 standards or such other alternative standards that are substantially equivalent to ISO 27001;
-
At Customer's written request, sāf.ai will provide Customer with copies of its Report so that Customer can reasonably verify sāf.ai's compliance with the security and audit obligations under this Agreement. The Report and any summaries thereof will constitute sāf.ai's Confidential Information under the confidentiality provisions of the Agreement.
-
sāf.ai will respond in a commercially reasonable time-frame to any requests for additional information or clarification from Customer related to such Report.
-
-
DATA TRANSPORT
-
Customer acknowledges that sāf.ai and its Subprocessors may maintain data processing operations in countries that are outside of the country in which the Platform Services are deployed. As such, both sāf.ai and its Subprocessors may process Customer Personal Data in non-EEA and non-Swiss countries. This will apply even where Customer has agreed with sāf.ai to use cloud instances of the Subscription Services located in the EEA if such non-EEA processing is necessary to provide support-related or other services requested by Customer.
-
To the extent that sāf.ai processes any Customer Personal Data subject to EU Data Protection Law ("EEA Data") on behalf of Customer, the parties agree that sāf.ai makes available the transfer mechanisms listed below for any transfers of EEA Data from the EEA to sāf.ai located in a country which does not ensure an adequate level of protection (within the meaning of Applicable Data Protection Laws) and to the extent such transfers are subject to such EU Data Protection Law:
(a) (i) sāf.ai will be deemed to provide adequate protection (within the meaning of EU Data Protection Law) for EEA Data by virtue of having self-certified its compliance with the Privacy Shield; (ii) sāf.ai agrees to process EEA Data in compliance with the Privacy Shield Principles; (iii) if sāf.ai is unable to comply with its obligations under this sub-Section, sāf.ai will inform the Customer; and (iv) sāf.ai will promptly cease (and cause its Subprocessors to promptly cease) processing such EEA Data if in Customer's sole discretion, Customer determines that sāf.ai has not or cannot correct any non-compliance with this sub-Section in accordance with the Privacy Shield Principles within a reasonable time frame.
(b) To the extent the transfer mechanism identified in Section 9.2(a) does not apply to the transfer, is invalidated and/or sāf.ai is no longer self-certified to the Privacy Shield, sāf.ai agrees to abide by and process EEA Data in compliance with the Model Clauses attached as Annex C, including the appendices attached thereto, and subject to the interpretations set forth in Appendix 3, and for these purposes sāf.ai agrees that it is a "data importer" and Customer and/or its Affiliates, as applicable is/are the "data exporter" under the Model Clauses (notwithstanding that Customer and/or its Affiliates may be an entity or entities located outside of the EEA).
-
-
OBLIGATIONS OF CUSTOMER
Customer acknowledges that sāf.ai does not provide data backup services, and that it is Customer's obligation to backup any Customer Data that Customer may process through the Subscription Services. As part of Customer receiving the sāf.ai Services under the Agreement, Customer agrees and declares as follows:
(i) that the processing of Personal Data by Customer, including instructing processing by sāf.ai in accordance with this Agreement, is and shall continue to be in accordance with all the relevant provisions of the Applicable Data Protection Laws, particularly with respect to the security, protection and disclosure of Personal Data;
(ii) if Customer is itself a Processor acting on behalf of a third-party Controller, Customer warrants to sāf.ai that Customer's instructions and actions with respect to that Personal Data, including its appointment of sāf.ai as another Processor, have been authorized by the relevant Controller;
(iii) that if processing by Customer involves any Sensitive Data, Customer has collected such Sensitive Data in accordance with Applicable Data Protection Laws;
(iv) that Customer will inform its Data Subjects as legally required:
(a) about its use of Processors to process their Personal Data, including sāf.ai; and

(vi) that it shall respond in a reasonable time to enquiries from an applicable data protection authority regarding the processing of relevant Personal Data by Customer.
-
DELETION & RETURN.
Upon Customer's request upon termination or expiry of the Agreement, sāf.ai shall destroy all Customer Data (including Customer Personal Data) in its possession or control. This requirement shall not apply to the extent that sāf.ai is required by any applicable law to retain some or all of the Customer Data (including Customer Personal Data), in which event sāf.ai shall isolate and protect such data from any further processing except to the extent required by such law.

sāf.ai Statement Against Modern Slavery and Child Labor
2022 statement
According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), 40 million people were victims of modern slavery and 152 million children were subject to child labor globally in 2016.
As the ILO reports:
- 1 in 4 victims of modern slavery are children.
- Out of the 24.9 million people trapped in forced labour, 16 million people are exploited in the private sector such as domestic work, construction or agriculture; 4.8 million persons in forced sexual exploitation, and 4 million persons in forced labour imposed by state authorities.
- Women and girls are disproportionately affected by forced labour, accounting for 99% of victims in the commercial sex industry, and 58% in other sectors.
sāf.ai deplores the presence and persistence of modern slavery and child labor, and takes seriously its responsibility to ensure that neither modern slavery nor child labor takes place in its supply-chain or in any part of its business. ("Modern slavery" in this statement refers to slavery, forced or compulsory labor, trafficking, servitude, and workers who are imprisoned, indentured, or bonded. "Child labor" refers to work performed by someone under 16 years of age, or under 14 for light work, provided it is not confined to periods that interfere with the child's schooling and not in conditions that interfere with the child's health or well-being.)
In accordance with the UK Modern Slavery Act, and in alignment with the ILO 2014 Protocol to its Forced Labour Convention, ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals target 8.7, this 2022 Statement Against Modern Slavery and Child Labor ("the Statement") describes the steps saf.ai has taken to prevent modern slavery and child labor from occurring in its business or supply chain.
Policies in relation to modern slavery and child labor
Modern slavery and child labor
sāf.ai's Code of Ethics prohibits knowingly using, participating in, supporting, or tolerating modern slavery (slavery, forced or compulsory labor, trafficking, servitude, or workers who are imprisoned, indentured, or bonded) or child labor in its business operations. Any sāf.ai employee or contractor who violates this prohibition will be subject to termination of employment or business relationship.
sāf.ai's Standards of Conduct prohibit unsafe and illegal conduct, including knowingly using, participating in, supporting, or tolerating modern slavery (slavery, forced or compulsory labor, trafficking, servitude, or workers who are imprisoned, indentured, or bonded) or child labor.
sāf.ai complies with laws prohibiting trafficking and child labor in the jurisdictions in which it operates, including U.S. Federal Acquisition Regulation 22.17 on combatting human trafficking.
In addition, sāf.ai is now exploring a partnership with the FairHotel Program, which means sāf.ai encourages its employees to choose FairHotel endorsed hotels-where workers have fair wages, adequate benefits, and a voice on the job. Being a FairHotel partner will also signify that sāf.ai provides business to hotels as a fair employer.
Going forward, sāf.ai will communicate this Statement to all employees, contractors, and suppliers, including recruiters and employment agencies. In addition, sāf.ai is developing training for all sāf.ai employees on modern slavery and child labor. sāf.ai posts its Statement Against Modern Slavery and Child Labor publicly.
sāf.ai has a non-retaliation policy for reporting workplace-related concerns. Consistent with this Statement, sāf.ai allows employees and contractors to report issues regarding modern slavery and child labor without fear of retaliation.

For the avoidance of doubt, Partner may not, unless otherwise agreed in writing by sāf.ai, refer to itself as "Authorized"; or "Certified" or any similar term related to its relationship with sāf.ai that might imply sāf.ai stands behind or provides a warranty for the workmanship of Partner products or services. sāf.ai additionally may, in its sole discretion, offer certain courses that may permit Partner to refer to certain of its personnel as "accredited", "certified"; or other term following the successful completion of such course, subject to any requirements set forth in such course.

If any fees under an applicable Addendum are calculated on the basis of revenue that is paid other than in US Dollars ($US), the amounts owed shall be calculated on the basis of the exchange rates published on http://www.x-rates.com/historical/ on the last day of the engagement (or the last day of the month, for ongoing engagements paid on a monthly basis) ("Exchange Rate").

- Audit; Reporting. No more than once in any 12-month period during the Term, and once following the date of termination or expiration of this PPA, sāf.ai at its own expense may audit the Partner's records for the sole purpose of (i) confirming the Partner's compliance with the Program Policies, Section 5.6 and Section 4.5; (ii) reviewing the use by Partner of any sāf.ai IP and any communications made by Partner to a Customer or publicly regarding the sāf.ai Offerings; and (iii) any additional purposes described in an applicable Addendum.

The audit will be conducted at sāf.ai's expense, except that if the audit discloses overpayments by sāf.ai or underpayments by Partner in excess of 10% or $2,000 (whichever is greater) over the period under review, then Partner (in addition to such other remedies as may be available at law and equity) shall reimburse sāf.ai for the reasonable, documented cost of such audit up to $10,000, and the over-compensated party shall compensate the undercompensated party within 30 days of receiving the results of the audit.
