2.7 Packaging. The Services can be accessed by the Subscriber following the purchase of a Domotz Subscription Package (“Package”), either online or via contacting a Domotz sales representative. Different commercial Packages will have different limitations for the use of the Services. Packages are described in the Documentation. Limitations in each Package may refer to the following variables:
- Number of “Persistent Device” (also referred to as “PD”), defined as an Asset reported by a Domotz Network Collector whose state is ON continuously (i.e. reporting a heartbeat) for longer than 24h. The assumption is that such an Asset, being on 24/7, is a fixed part of the corporate infrastructure thus serving a functional purpose. Mobile phones, laptops and any kind of transient or intermittent devices are very unlikely to be classified as a PD. PDs normally account for around 30%-40% of Assets which gain or try to obtain an IP address on that network. PDs help us measure the size and complexity of a network to determine a commercially appropriate for a use case. The number of PDs reported on a Domotz Network Collector is calculated on a daily basis by sampling it once per day.
- Number of “Routed Network", defined as subnets which are reachable by the Domotz Network Collector from a physical network interface via a Layer 3 connection.
- Number of “External Host”, defined as single digital Assets which are reachable by the Domotz Network Collector from a physical network interface via a Layer 3 connection.
- Number of “Metrics”, defined as data variables or vectors associated to properties of a digital Asset (such as temperature, CPU consumptions, disk space, etc.) overtime.
- “Configuration Management” defined as the ability to store, edit and retrieve a configuration management file in relation to an Asset via the Services.
- “Allowed Netmask” is the netmask configuration of a Domotz Network Collector.
- Number of “API Calls” relates to the ability by the subscriber to use the Services programmatically without needing to use the Domotz App.
- “Traffic Transfer” refers to the quantity of data which transits via the Domotz cloud servers when a Subscriber establishes a VPN or a direct tunnelling session via a Domotz Network Collector during their use of the Services.
2.8 Domotz may offer additional products, services or enhanced functionality for Subscribers or End Users to purchase in accordance with the terms of this Agreement ("Additional Services"). At the Subscriber's or End User's option, the parties may agree in writing for the provision of Additional Services during the term of this Agreement by completing a specified order form.
2.9 The fee for providing Additional Services under this Section will be agreed by the parties prior to the performance of such Additional Services.
2.10 Fair Usage Policy. The Subscriber agrees to a fair and acceptable usage policy (“FUP”) which includes abiding to the limits embedded in the Packages, and in addition:
- an allowance of 10GB of data transmitted to the Domotz Cloud per Agent Software per month and/or
- an allowance of 5,000 API calls per day
This FUP allows us to charge a competitive entry price to all our customers according to their use cases. Should you exceed the FUP, Domotz reserves the right to apply a supplemental charge to cover the amount by which you exceed the allowance or, in alternative, to discontinue the provision of the Services to you.
