The use of the app requires that it is installed as an add on to an Atlassian host product (“Atlassian product”). The Terms are part of a binding agreement between the legal entity that you represent, which chooses to license and download the app (“Licensee”, “you”), and Kantega.

2. Scope of license

The app is licensed, not sold. Subject to the Terms, Kantega hereby grants Licensee a worldwide, limited, non-exclusive and non-transferable license to download, install and use the app for the agreed number of users (“the License”). The Terms will govern any upgrades provided by Kantega that replace or supplement the app. 

The app can be hosted on-premises through an Atlassian server or data center product. The License period is: 

1. Perpetual if you choose to host through Atlassian Server. However, maintenance (support and version update) agreements must be renewed annually unless a longer period is agreed upon. 

2. One (1) year from the date of purchase if you choose to host through Atlassian Data Center unless a longer period is agreed upon. 

Kantega supports evaluation of the app (trial licenses) for a total of 5 evaluations when installed within the context of on-premise offerings. Evaluation periods can be extended upon request, either by Kantega or resellers acting on their behalf. In case of continued evaluation beyond the allowed period (evaluation abuse), Licensee will be invoiced for the entire period in which the app was used for the list price and an additional penalty of $ 5.000 per violation.

3. Payment

The License is based on an annual or semi-annual subscription fee based on the number of users of the app. A “user” is a natural person. Payment is to be made through Atlassian Marketplace and is subject to the terms of payment communicated on Atlassian Marketplace.

7. Service Level Agreement: Functionality, updates and support

Licensee is responsible for downloading and installing the app, and its compatibility with Licensee´s hardware, software, services and systems. 

7.1 Atlassian product compatibility policy

Any updates and upgrades released during the License Period will be made available for Licensee. Kantega Data Center apps are released with a [MAJOR].[MINOR].[PATCH] versioning scheme, also known as Semantic Versioning. Licensee is advised to install the latest major version of Kantega apps and the most recent Long Term Support (or newer) versions of the Atlassian product (Atlassian Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket and Bamboo Data Center) in order to get the best possible functionality and security. In terms of Atlassian product compatibility for supported Atlassian product versions, Kantega adheres to the requirements listed in the Atlassian Marketplace Partner Program. Kantega apps are only supported for Atlassian products that have not yet reached End Of Life status (see Atlassian End of Life Policy), with exceptions listed in 7.1.1. When a new major version of a Kantega app is released during the maintenance period of a supported Atlassian product, the previous major version is still supported, while older major versions are retired (End of Life). Kantega does not guarantee support for retired versions.

7.1.1 Breaking changes introduced to the Atlassian products

Breaking changes invoke an exception to the Kantega support policy of long term supported Atlassian products. A breaking change is a modification to an API that disrupts app functionality. Kantega can not guarantee that the complete feature set will keep working after breaking changes are introduced in Atlassian products. Breaking changes to Atlassian product APIs may result in the release of a new major version version of the app, and retirement (End of Life) of previous app versions. Retired versions are in maintenance mode, which means that Kantega offers patches of critical vulnerabilities only to the previous major version of Kantega SSO apps.

7.2 Customer support policy

Kantega provides paying Licensees with support services at least 8 hours a day, 5 days a week (excluding public holidays in Norway) and will reply to inquiries through the Kantega service portal (Requesting support ) or directed to contact@kantega-sso.com as soon as possible.

This includes End User Data retrieved directly from Atlassian (e.g., end user contact information or company name) via Atlassian-provided APIs, portals or other similar means. End User Data in context of the agreement means any data, content or information of an end user that is accessed, collected or otherwise processed by Kantega in connection with use of the Atlassian Marketplace.
