The Configurator was developed by Ocean9, Inc. (“Ocean9”) to automate a series of manual calculations for sizing and pricing SAP HANA systems on AWS.

3 - Definitions

  1. “Configurator” means the online cloud-based tool on the Ocean9 website at http://www.ocean9.io/configurator
  2. “User” means any person or entity that accesses the Ocean9 website and uses the Configurator.
  3. “System Integrator” means any User that accesses or uses the data or information provided by the Configurator to directly or indirectly provide, enable, facilitate, or enhance its services to its own
    customers, whether or not for profit. Examples of System Integrators include, but are not limited to, professional services or consulting entities in the field of SAP, AWS, and similar fields with customers who are interested in deploying the SAP HANA database on AWS. For the avoidance of doubt, any reference to “User” in this Agreement shall include “System Integrator.”

No registration, account creation, or personal user information is required in order to view the Configurator’s table of options and system choices for SAP HANA on AWS. In order to view detailed pricing information generated by the Configurator, a User must provide a name and e-mail address to Ocean9. Providing a name and e-mail address does not create an account, and does not provide a User with rights to Ocean9’s free trial or to its full spectrum of product and service offerings. Data inputted by a User into the Configurator is governed by Ocean9’s Privacy Policy, available on its website at https://www.ocean9.io/legal/privacy-policy.

Any access or use by a System Integrator that does not provide Proper Attribution shall result in an immediate ban of any use of the Configurator by the System Integrator and/or its customers, at Ocean9’s sole discretion.

Ocean9 may from time to time develop and make available, new releases of the Configurator containing new features or functionality or modifications, bug fixes or enhancements to the Configurator’s existing capabilities. This Agreement and all of the terms hereof apply to all such releases even if Ocean9 does not separately require User to provide re-confirmation of its assent. Ocean9 is under no obligation whatsoever to provide User with new releases or any other support, maintenance, training, consulting or customization services related to the Configurator.

9 - Ownership; Intellectual Property Rights. 

User understands that all aspects of the Configurator, including without limitation, programs and methods of processing, and any and all improvements, enhancements, revisions, and modifications thereto shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Ocean9.

10 - Limited Scope.

The Configurator is intended to be used solely as a resource for Users to estimate sizing and pricing of SAP HANA on AWS. The calculations, pricing options and other data provided by the Configurator rely on publicly available information from AWS and SAP. While efforts have been made to ensure accuracy, Ocean9 does not warrant that the calculations, pricing options and other data provided by the Configurator are up to date or completely accurate. Ocean9 provides the Configurator to its Users as an Ocean9 service, and is not in any way affiliated with AWS or SAP. Ocean9 is not involved in any transaction between User and AWS or User and SAP. Ocean9 is not a party to, third-party beneficiary of, or guarantor of performance with respect to any agreement between User and AWS or User and SAP. Specifically, Ocean9 does not control the availability of products or services offered by AWS or SAP, the terms on which such products or services are offered (including pricing), or guarantee any of the estimated pricing options that are generated by the Configurator. Because Ocean9 does not and cannot be involved in User-to-AWS or User-to-SAP transactions, in the event that User has a dispute with AWS or SAP regarding AWS or SAP products or services, User hereby releases Ocean9 (and its agents and employees) from all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.

11 - Availability.

The availability of the Configurator depends on many factors, including User's connection to the Internet, the availability of the Internet and equipment that, by its nature, is not fault tolerant. While Ocean9 shall take all reasonable efforts to ensure availability, Ocean9 does not warrant any specific levels of performance or availability, and User agrees to assume any and all risk associated with its use of the Configurator.

12 - Term and Termination. 

This Agreement becomes effective upon acceptance of this Agreement and continues for so long as this Agreement is not terminated and User’s rights are not revoked due to misconduct or unauthorized use. Ocean9 may terminate this Agreement and revoke User’s rights immediately if User or its employees, agents, and subcontractors breach any of the provisions of this Agreement or otherwise infringe on Ocean9’s intellectual property rights. Ocean9 may also terminate User's use of the Configurator at any time in its sole discretion. Upon any termination or expiration, User and all of User’s employees, agents, and subcontractors shall immediately discontinue all use of the Configurator though User may retain and continue use of previously generated Configurator-generated data in accordance with the terms herein. Termination is in addition to all other legal or equitable remedies available to Ocean9 hereunder.

OCEAN9 MAKES NO WARRANTIES REGARDING THE WEB SITE THROUGH WHICH THE CONFIGURATOR IS ACCESSED NOR REGARDING THE CONFIGURATOR, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE CONFIGURATOR, CONFIGURATOR-GENERATED DATA, CONTENT, AND WEB SITE, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND THE STATUTORY WARRANTY AGAINST NON-INFRINGEMENT. NO ORAL ADVICE OR WRITTEN INFORMATION GIVEN BY OCEAN9, OR ITS EMPLOYEES OR REPRESENTATIVES, WILL CREATE A WARRANTY; NOR SHALL USER RELY ON ANY SUCH INFORMATION OR ADVICE. OCEAN9 SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR FAILURES THAT ARE CAUSED BY USER, AWS, SAP, OR ANY THIRD PARTY, NOR FOR FAILURES CAUSED BY BUGS, OR USER OR THIRD PARTY HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE.

14 - LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, WILL OCEAN9 OR ITS AFFILIATES, AGENTS, OR EMPLOYEES BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF REVENUE, TRADE SECRETS, GOODWILL, OR ANTICIPATED OR LOST PROFITS) THAT RESULT FROM USER'S USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE CONFIGURATOR. OCEAN9 IS NOT LIABLE FOR THE COST OR PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, TECHNOLOGY, OR DATA. USER AGREES TO USE THE CONFIGURATOR AT ITS OWN RISK. USER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS PROVISION WILL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT OCEAN9 IS GIVEN NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

15 - No Agency or Partnership.

This Agreement does not create any relationship between the parties of principal and agent, partners, joint ventures, legal representative, or employer and employee, whether between the parties or between a party and the other party's employees, for any purpose whatsoever. User has no right to create any obligation or responsibility, express or implied, on behalf of or in the name of Ocean9, or to bind Ocean9 in any manner or concerning any matter.

16 - Assignment.

User shall not assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations without the prior written consent of Ocean9, and any such attempted assignment will be void. Subject to the above, this Agreement will be binding upon the parties' respective successors and permitted assigns.

17 - Force Majeure. 

Ocean9 will not be liable in any amount for failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement if such failure is caused by Internet outages, earthquakes, communications outages, fire, flood, war, an act of God, or the occurrence of any other unforeseen contingency beyond the reasonable control of Ocean9.

18 - Entire Agreement.

No Severability or Unintentional Waiver. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between User and Ocean9 with respect to the Configurator. In the event that a portion of this Agreement is held unenforceable, the unenforceable portion will be construed in accordance with applicable law as nearly as possible to reflect the original intentions of the parties, and the remainder of the provisions will remain in full force and effect. Waiver by Ocean9 of a breach of any provision of this Agreement or the failure by Ocean9 to exercise any right hereunder shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of that right or as a waiver of any other right.

User agree that this agreement will be construed, interpreted, and applied in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of California, without giving effect to the conflict of laws thereof. The court and authorities of the State of California in Santa Clara County and the United States District Court for the Northern District of California will have the sole jurisdiction and venue (including personal jurisdiction) over all controversies which may arise with respect to this Agreement, and User hereby waives any other jurisdiction and venue to which User may be entitled by virtue of domicile or otherwise.

20 - Damages and Attorney’s Fees.

If User does not materially comply with any of the terms of this Agreement, then User shall be obligated to pay to Ocean9 all damages, statutory or otherwise, resulting from such non-compliance, as well as Ocean9's reasonable attorney’s fees and costs associated with Ocean9 enforcing any of its rights in connection with such non-compliance.
