• Your New Relic Terms of Service do not govern your use of Community Cloud for Pixie, except where specifically noted in this Agreement.

This New Relic Terms of Service for Community Cloud for Pixie (" Agreement") is entered into by and between New Relic, Inc. (" New Relic") and the entity or person accessing the Community Cloud for Pixie Service (" Customer" or " you"). Certain capitalized terms are defined in Section 19 (Definitions) and others are defined contextually in this Agreement. If you are accessing or using the Community Cloud for Pixie Service on behalf of your company, you represent that you are authorized to accept this Agreement on behalf of your company, and all references to "Customer" or "you" reference your company.

By indicating your acceptance of this Agreement or accessing or using the Community Cloud for Pixie Service, you are agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each party expressly agrees that this Agreement is legally binding upon it.

1. Community Cloud for Pixie Service. This Agreement governs use of New Relic’s proprietary Community Cloud for Pixie Service. Please make sure you understand how the Community Cloud for Pixie Service relates to other Pixie and New Relic offerings:

   a. Open Source Pixie. Pixie is available as open source software here. Customer’s use of the open source version of Pixie is subject to an open source license. Customer may use the open source version of Pixie separate from the Community Cloud for Pixie Service. This Agreement and not the open source license governs use of the Community Cloud for Pixie Service.

   b. New Relic One Service is on Separate Terms. The Community Cloud for Pixie Service is governed by terms that are separate from those that govern your use of the New Relic platform or New Relic’s other cloud services described here ("New Relic Services"). Use of the New Relic Services requires a separate agreement with New Relic ("Subscription Agreement"), while your use of Community Cloud for Pixie Service is governed by this Agreement. By agreeing to this Agreement and then logging into the New Relic Services you agree to the New Relic Services terms, which are incorporated by reference.

Customer will (i) maintain Confidential Information in confidence (using at least the same measures as for Customer's own confidential information, and no less than reasonable care) and not divulge it to any third party and (ii) only use Confidential Information to fulfill its obligations and exercise its rights under this Agreement. If Customer is compelled by Law to disclose Confidential Information, it must provide New Relic with prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance if New Relic wishes to contest the disclosure. If Customer breaches or threatens to breach this Section 4, it could cause substantial harm for which damages are inadequate and New Relic will have the right to seek injunctive relief in addition to other remedies.

5. Fees. There are currently no fees due for use of the Community Cloud for Pixie Service in accordance with this Agreement during the Term. New Relic may introduce fees in the future pursuant to Section 15 (Modifications to Agreement).
