CloudLinux hereby grants to you, and you accept, a limited, nonexclusive license to use the Programs in machine-readable, object code form only, and the user manuals accompanying the Programs (the “Documentation”), only as authorized in this License Agreement. For purposes of this License Agreement, the “Programs” include any updates, enhancements, modifications, revisions, or additions to the Programs made by CloudLinux and made available to end-users. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CloudLinux shall be under no obligation to provide any updates, enhancements, modifications, revisions, or additions to the Programs.
The authorized use of the Programs is strictly limited to running the Programs as a security suite for Linux web servers. In no event may you use the Programs for any other purpose, including, but not limited to, using the Programs to create or enhance competing software or services.
You may use one copy of the Programs only on systems, including servers, work stations, virtual machines, blades, nodes, or disk partitions for which you have purchased Subscription Services from CloudLinux or its resellers. For purposes of this License Agreement, “use” of the Programs means loading the Programs into the temporary or permanent memory of a computer. Installation of the Programs on a network server solely for distribution to other computers is not “use” of the Programs, and is permitted, as long as you have purchased Subscription Services for the systems being accessed by the Programs.
Your installation or use of the Programs grants CloudLinux limited access to your system information, programs, and applications for the purpose of security analysis, diagnostic, performance analysis, reporting, and collecting performance metrics. Such access and information collected include collecting crash and error information, reviewing installed packages and applications, the names, sizes, and attributes of files, the server or system uptime, load, and running processes, the server ID, metadata of HTTP(S) requests, server internal/external IP, the hostnames, usernames, domains, SQL queries, metadata of HTTP requests, PHP stack traces, executed functions data inside PHP requests, external requests metadata (such as request URLs, data, headers, and response data, etc.), CMS plugins data, server performance data, user performance data, and other diagnostic information. Web performance metrics are collected through the use of tracking JS and PHP code that is added when the Program is enabled.
You acknowledge and agree that, should You enable these Programs on behalf of an end user in Your capacity as a server administrator, You are thereby affirming the acceptance of the License Agreement on the end user’s behalf. Further, You are obligated to present the License Agreement to the end user and secure their acceptance prior to enabling the Program.
As a condition of the license granted to You pursuant to this License Agreement, You shall pay CloudLinux the amount(s) of all applicable license fees. You shall, in addition to the license fees, pay all applicable sales, use, transfer, or other taxes and all duties, whether national, state, or local, however designated, that are levied or imposed by reason of the transaction contemplated under this License Agreement. You shall reimburse CloudLinux for the amount of any such taxes or duties paid or incurred directly by CloudLinux as a result of this transaction, and you agree that CloudLinux may charge any such reimbursable taxes to the payment instrument you used for Your initial payment.
