Open-source components are subject to their respective licenses (Apache 2.0, Mozilla Public License, Erlang Public License, etc.). Nothing in these Terms restricts rights granted by applicable open-source licenses.

5. Service Agreements

Specific Services are governed by a written Master Services Agreement (MSA) or Statement of Work (SOW). In the event of a conflict between these Terms and an executed MSA or SOW, the MSA or SOW controls.

6. Payment Terms

Fees are set forth in the applicable SOW or order form. Unless otherwise agreed: invoices are due net 30 days; undisputed amounts not paid within 15 days of the due date accrue interest at 1.5% per month or the maximum permitted by law; OSSeva reserves the right to suspend Services for accounts more than 60 days past due.

7. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to keep confidential non-public information disclosed by the other party that is designated as confidential or that a reasonable person would recognize as confidential. Obligations do not apply to information that is publicly known, independently developed, received from a third party without restriction, or required to be disclosed by law.

8. Warranties and Disclaimers

OSSeva represents that its Services will be performed professionally and consistent with industry standards.

THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY.

Frequently asked questions

What law governs OSSeva's contracts?

OSSeva's terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas. Disputes are resolved by binding arbitration in Austin, Texas under AAA rules, unless the parties have executed a Master Services Agreement that specifies different governing law.

Do these Terms apply to my signed MSA?

If you have signed a Master Services Agreement (MSA) or Statement of Work (SOW) with OSSeva, the MSA/SOW takes precedence over these Terms in the event of any conflict. These Terms apply to Site use and govern in the absence of a signed agreement.

How does OSSeva handle open-source license obligations in its patch builds?

OSSeva patch builds are built from open-source source code and are distributed under the same open-source license as the upstream project (e.g., MPL 2.0 for RabbitMQ, Apache 2.0 for Kafka, PostgreSQL License for PostgreSQL). Customers receive the same rights as they would from the upstream project, plus OSSeva's additional patch engineering.
