This Master Subscription Agreement (this “Agreement”) contains the terms and conditions that govern your access to and use of the Service (as defined below), and is an agreement between Datadog, Inc. (“Datadog,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and you or the entity you represent (“you”). This Agreement takes effect when you click an “I Accept,” “Sign up” or similar button or check box presented with these terms or, if earlier, when you access or use the Service (the “Effective Date”). If you are using the Service without payment as part of a free trial, beta release, proof-of-concept implementation or otherwise, then your use of the Service is subject to the Free-Trial Subscription Agreement published at https://datadoghq.com/legal/free-trial-agreement. By accepting this Agreement, you agree to be legally bound by its terms. You represent to Datadog that you are lawfully able to enter into contracts (e.g., you are not a minor). If you are entering into this Agreement for an entity, such as the company you work for, you represent that you have legal authority to bind that entity. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in Section 21.

1. Subscription Authorizations

   Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Policies and Order, Datadog authorizes you to access and use the Service and Documentation solely for your internal, business use, by and through Authorized Users. This authorization is limited, nonexclusive and (subject to Sections 2.2 and 20.2) nontransferable.

2. Agreement Structure

   1. The Parties will agree on the prices that you will pay and other transaction-specific terms through Orders under this Agreement. Each Order will be deemed to incorporate all of the terms of this Agreement. If a term in an Order conflicts with, or is different than, a term in this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement will prevail unless the term in the Order specifically states that it will prevail.

   2. Subject to Datadog's acceptance, you or your Affiliates (each, a “Customer Entity”) may enter into Orders. Each Order will be a separate agreement between Datadog and the Customer Entity that signs the Order and in each such case, all references to “you” in this Agreement will be deemed references to the Customer Entity that signed the Order; provided, however, that you and your Affiliates will be jointly liable for compliance with the terms of this Agreement and any Order by any Customer Entity, and you accept full liability as between the Parties for the actions and inactions of your Affiliates. A breach of the terms of this Agreement or any Order by any Customer Entity will be considered a breach by each Customer Entity.

   3. An Order may state a term for that Order (the “Order Term”). In the event an Order does not specify a fixed term, then the Order Term will run from the Order's effective date until the end of the calendar month in which either Party gives notice of termination in accordance with Section 3.2, unless the Order is otherwise terminated earlier in accordance with this Agreement or the Order.

3. Payments

   1. You shall pay to Datadog the amounts specified in each Order in accordance with its terms and this Agreement within 30 days of the date of each Datadog invoice. All amounts shall be paid in U.S. dollars and shall be fully earned when paid and non-refundable unless: (i) an Order is terminated early by you pursuant to Section 5.1; (ii) this Agreement and all Orders are terminated early by you pursuant to Section 13; or (iii) this Agreement and all Orders are terminated early by Datadog pursuant to Section 17.2, in which case (a) you shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts specified in the applicable Orders following the effective date of termination, and (b) Datadog shall, within 30 days of the effective date of such termination, refund to you a pro rata share of any unused amounts prepaid by you under the applicable Orders for the Service on the basis of the remaining portion of the current Order Terms. In all other cases, and regardless of whether you and your Authorized Users access or use the Service at the levels reflected in the Orders or otherwise, you are responsible for paying all amounts specified in the Orders through expiration of the applicable Order Terms. You must assert any payment dispute in writing within 10 days of your receipt of the invoice giving rise to the dispute. Datadog will not exercise its suspension or termination rights or apply interest on late payments if you dispute the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith, and provide reasonable cooperation to resolve the dispute. Except in the event of such good faith disputes, all unpaid invoices past due are subject to a late charge equal to the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum interest allowed by law. If litigation should be commenced for collection of past due amounts, the prevailing Party will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and related costs from the non-prevailing Party.

   2. Unless either Party gives the other Party written notice, in accordance with Section 20.1, of its intention not to renew an Order at least 15 days prior to the Order's then current expiration date, the Order will automatically renew for additional periods of the same duration as the expiring Order Term (each such period, a “Renewal Term”). If the Renewal Term is longer than one month, then at least 15 – and no more than 30 – days prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term, Datadog will notify you in writing of such renewal in accordance with Section 20.1. Effective upon the first anniversary of the Effective Date and up to one time per calendar year thereafter (or, if an Order Term is longer than one year, then up to one time during each Renewal Term), Datadog may increase then current pricing for the Service by up to the greater of (a) 5% or (b) a percentage equal to the increase for the prior 12-month period (or the prior period of the same duration as the Renewal Term, if longer) in the CPI – All Urban Consumers (U.S. All Items) or successor series, as published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. If you object to the increase, then you must notify Datadog of your intention not to renew the Order within 30 days of your receipt of notice of the increase from Datadog. Failure to timely notify Datadog shall be deemed to constitute consent to the applicable fee increase.

   3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are accessing the Service through a Channel Partner, the terms of your subscription with such Channel Partner will control with respect to all pricing and fees; provided, however, that Datadog may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if such Channel Partner has not paid Datadog the applicable fees relating to your use.

   4. If you are paying using a credit card or any digital payment method supported by Datadog, you authorize Datadog to charge your account for the Service using that payment method. You must keep all information in your billing account current to ensure that all amounts are charged to the appropriate account and are timely paid. If you notify Datadog to stop using a previously designated payment method and fail to designate an alternative, Datadog may immediately suspend use and access to the Service. Any notice from you changing your billing account will not affect charges Datadog submits to your billing account before Datadog reasonably can act on your request.Datadog uses a third-party intermediary to manage credit card processing, and this intermediary is not permitted to use your credit card information except in connection with your authorized purchases. Notice (including email) from our third-party credit card processor declining your credit card or otherwise relating to your account will be deemed valid notice from Datadog.

4. Taxes

   All fees and amounts set forth in the Orders are exclusive of taxes, levies, duties or charges imposed by government authorities (collectively,“Taxes”). You shall be solely responsible for all sales, service, value-added, use, excise, consumption and any other Taxes on amounts payable by you under the Orders and this Agreement (other than any Taxes on Datadog's income, revenues, gross receipts, personnel or assets). If you are required to deduct or withhold any Tax under Applicable Law, you must pay the amount deducted or withheld as required by Applicable Law and pay Datadog an additional amount so that Datadog receives payment in full of amounts due under this Agreement as if there were no deduction or withholding.

5. Service Availability and Support

   1. Datadog shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Service available for access and use by end users over the Internet at least 99.8% of the time as measured over the course of each calendar month during an Order Term, excluding unavailability as a result of scheduled maintenance (the “Base Availability Standard”). If the Service does not meet the Base Availability Standard for two consecutive months, you may terminate the applicable Order in the calendar month following such two-month period upon written notice to Datadog. You may request Service availability information by submitting a support request through the Service.

   2. Subject to this Agreement, Datadog shall provide Authorized Users support through the Service and by email with respect to their use of the Service (“Support”). Although response times are not guaranteed, Datadog shall endeavor to respond to requests for Support within 48 hours. In the event any Support is not performed with reasonable skill, care and diligence, Datadog shall re-perform the Support; and you acknowledge that re-performance shall be your sole and exclusive remedy for any such defective performance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are accessing the Service through a Channel Partner, to the extent your agreement with such Channel Partner provides for additional or different support services from the Channel Partner, then such agreement will govern with respect to the Channel Partner's support services.

   3. Although not required, you may install a Datadog software agent on your Hosts to support the collection, and reporting to the Service, of events and metrics (“Datadog Agent”). You may also access the Datadog API, as well as certain client libraries developed and made available by Datadog from time to time that wrap the API (“Datadog Libraries”) to support access and use of the Service. Both the Datadog Agent and the Datadog Libraries (collectively, the “Datadog Tools”) are made available under the terms of the open source license agreement(s) referenced in the applicable help, notices, about or source files. The source code and associated licenses for the Datadog Tools are available at https://github.com/DataDog.

   4. If you elect to use the Datadog Agent or a Datadog Library, you acknowledge and agree that: (a) such Datadog Tool is only made available to support access and use of the Service; (b) Datadog has no liability with respect to any other use of such Datadog Tool; and (c) you are responsible for complying with the applicable license(s) for such Datadog Tool. To the extent any such applicable license requires that Datadog provide you the right to use any open source software in a Datadog Tool that is inconsistent with rights granted in this Agreement, then the rights in the applicable open source license shall take precedence over the rights and restrictions granted in this Agreement, but solely with respect to such open source software.

6. Non-Datadog Services and Material

   1. The Service supports integrations and other connections to certain Non-Datadog Services. If an Authorized User chooses to use a Non-Datadog Service with the Service, in doing so, you hereby grant to Datadog permission to interoperate with the Non-Datadog Service. Your acquisition and use of Non-Datadog Services is governed solely by the terms of the relationship between you and the provider of the Non-Datadog Services.

   2. Although you may be able to connect to or otherwise access Non-Datadog Services or other Non-Datadog Material through the Site or Service, you acknowledge and agree that: (a) Datadog does not control and is not responsible for any Non-Datadog Material; (b) Datadog has no liability with respect to any use of Non-Datadog Material; and (c) you are responsible for complying with Datadog's Acceptable Use Policy and with any licenses and other terms applicable to the Non-Datadog Material.

   2. Without limiting the foregoing, you represent and agree that that you shall not include in Customer Data any Sensitive Personal Information. For such purpose, “Sensitive Personal Information” means any information that: (a) must be protected in accordance with specific or heightened security requirements imposed by applicable law or industry standards; or (b) would require notification to government agencies, individuals or law enforcement if subject to unauthorized access, use or disclosure.

The Service is provided to the U.S. Government as “commercial items,” “commercial computer software,” “commercial computer software documentation,” and “technical data” with the same rights and restrictions generally applicable to the Service. If you or any Authorized User is using the Service on behalf of the U.S. Government and these terms fail to meet the U.S. Government's needs or are inconsistent in any respect with federal law, you and your Authorized Users must immediately discontinue use of the Service.

    7. This Agreement will be interpreted, construed and enforced in all respects in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its choice of law principles. Any legal action or proceeding arising under or relating to this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, USA, and the Parties expressly consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts.
