Terms of Service
Revised and effective as of December 16, 2024
These Terms of Service (“TOS”) expressly include the following terms Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, and Service Level Agreement. These TOS apply to the services (“Services”) that Kyndryl, Inc. or its affiliates located in your country (“Kyndryl”) provides to you (the “Customer”), and together with any order forms or other agreements in writing between Kyndryl and you, are collectively referred to as the “Agreement.” For a list of Kyndryl affiliates, please see https://www.kyndryl.com/us/en/about-us/locations . The terms “you,” “your,” and “yours,” refer to Customer, the account administrator, any authorized individual or an entity using the Services. If you are accepting these TOS on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to do so. You agree that Kyndryl may change these TOS as reasonably required and that your continued use of the Services after such a change is considered acceptance of any such changes. Do not access or use the Services if you are unwilling or unable to be bound by the TOS.
1) Account Registration.
You must register for and maintain an account with Kyndryl to use the Services. Your Customer account registration requirements include:
- responsibility to provide and maintain accurate and complete account information, which must be current and updated,
- responsibility for all activities that occur through your account,
- responsibility to maintain secure user identification and passwords, including individualized user logins and IDs, which cannot be shared between users,
- responsibility to promptly notify Kyndryl of any unauthorized use of a user account or any other breach of security, and
- in the event of actual or suspected unauthorized use of the Services by anyone obtaining access through your account(s), you will, take all reasonable steps necessary to cease the unauthorized access.
Further, in the event of actual or suspected unauthorized use, Kyndryl may suspend the account, your access to, and use of the Services. You will cooperate and assist with any actions taken by Kyndryl to prevent or terminate unauthorized use of the Services. Kyndryl, in its sole discretion, may re-instate your access to the Services if it determines that the actual or suspected unauthorized use was not due to your breach of the Agreement or if you have cured your breach of the Agreement. Kyndryl may also credit your account for suspended access to the Services for reasons other than a breach of the Agreement by you.
2) Right to Access and Use the Services.
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Kyndryl grants you a limited, personal, non- exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to access and use the Services during the term of this Agreement. The right to access and use the Services granted by this section extends to any of your agents and contractors, provided you (a) ensure their compliance with the TOS and any applicable Agreement terms, and (b) will be liable and responsible for any violations of the TOS and/or Agreement by those parties. You may also transfer this license to your own customers as part of a bundled product or service offering, provided that you: (a) ensure compliance by customers with the terms of this TOS, and (b) will be liable and responsible for any violations of the TOS by your customers as if those violations were committed by you, and (c) remain responsible for payment of all fees due to Kyndryl, regardless of whether or not you have collected any fees from your customers.
3) Restrictions.

Except as may be expressly permitted by applicable law or authorized by us in writing, you will not, and will not permit anyone else to:

This information will also not incorporate Your Content or infringe upon the rights of a Data Subject, as defined in the Privacy Policy. Kyndryl retains all intellectual property rights in such information.

Kyndryl exercises no control over the third-party software applications, and we are not responsible for their performance. Your purchase or use of such applications will be governed by the terms and conditions of such third parties, and you may therefore be asked to accept terms and conditions at the time of purchase and/or access to them. Kyndryl will not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused to you by your use of or reliance on any third-party software or applications.

7) Services Availability and Modifications.
You are responsible for providing all equipment to access the Services. Kyndryl reserves the right to modify all or a part of the Services, with or without notice to you. For example, Kyndryl may add or remove functionality or features.

Receiving Party will as soon as practical following such request provide Disclosing Party with a certification that the Confidential Information has been returned and/or destroyed pursuant to Disclosing Party’s request.
d. In the event that Receiving Party is subject to a court order, an order of a governmental or regulatory authority, or a similar process (a “Summons”) compelling disclosure or transfer of any Confidential Information, Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by such Summons, provided that (i) Receiving Party immediately notifies Disclosing Party if legally permissible, so that Disclosing Party may seek a protective order, (ii) Receiving Party reasonably cooperates with Disclosing Party (at Disclosing Party’s expense) in seeking such protective order, (iii) if Disclosing Party cannot obtain a protective order, Receiving Party discloses only those portions of Confidential Information that in the reasonable opinion of its legal counsel are required to be disclosed, and (iv) all such Confidential Information required to be disclosed will remain subject to the obligations in this Agreement.

NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUES, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA OR BUSINESS INFORMATION, EVEN IF THE PARTY KNEW THAT SUCH DAMAGES WERE POSSIBLE. EACH PARTY’S LIABILITY OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTY CLAIMS), REGARDLESS OF THE FORUM AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY ACTION OR CLAIM IS CONTRACTUAL, NON-CONTRACTUAL OR OTHERWISE, WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID OR PAYABLE BY YOU TO KYNDRYL DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE THE LIABILITY AROSE.

Each Party (“Indemnifying Party”) will defend and indemnify the other Party and its respective directors, officers, employees, and representatives (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against all third party claims, liabilities, damages, losses and expenses (“Claims”) to the extent arising directly out of such Indemnifying Party’s (i) violation of any third parties’ intellectual property rights related to providing or using the Services or (ii) violation of applicable law or regulation related to this Agreement. An Indemnifying Party is responsible under this Section 13(a) for the conduct of its employees or agents acting within the scope of their duties in connection with this Agreement.

c. If Kyndryl receives information about any Claim of infringement or misappropriation claim related to the Services, Kyndryl may in its discretion and at no cost to you (i) modify or replace the Services so that they are no longer claimed to infringe or misappropriate, without breaching our warranties under this Agreement, (ii) obtain a license for your continued use of that Service in accordance with this Agreement, or (iii) terminate the affected Service upon 30 days’ written notice and refund you any prepaid fees, unearned fees as of the effective date of termination.
