Scope¶
Default terms on this page apply to:
- Commercial Evaluation
- Starter
- Growth
Enterprise plans may override these terms in a signed Order Form.
What is included by default¶
- Data Processing Addendum (DPA) terms are incorporated by reference via this page.
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) handling is documented for cross-border transfer needs.
- Subprocessor and delivery disclosures are published in: Subprocessors and distribution details
DPA baseline¶
The default DPA baseline for self-serve plans is:
- Role model: Customer is controller; Vendor is processor for contracted support and fulfillment activities.
- Purpose limitation: processing only to deliver licensed artifacts, support, and contract operations.
- Security baseline: reasonable technical and organizational measures aligned with the public security posture.
- Deletion/return: contract and legal retention obligations apply; customer runtime data remains customer-controlled.
- Audit model: documentation-first review via published security and procurement artifacts.
Supporting references:
- Security posture and controls: Security, privacy, compliance
- Procurement artifact index: Commercial procurement artifacts
SCC baseline¶
If SCCs are required for the transfer scenario, the default approach for self-serve plans is:
- SCC terms are incorporated by reference to this page and the signed Order Form.
- Scope is limited to vendor-processed contract/support metadata unless otherwise agreed.
- Any enterprise-specific SCC rider is negotiated in the Order Form.
When custom terms are needed¶
Use Enterprise terms if your legal/security policy requires:
- custom DPA language,
- custom SCC annexes,
- additional transfer-risk controls, or
- controller-to-controller alternatives.
Those customizations are recorded in the signed Order Form.
