    1.1 Scope. This Professional Services Agreement shall govern Yubico’s provisioning of Professional Services. The purchase and licensing of Yubico products (“Products”) shall be governed by the YubiEnterprise Subscription License Agreement, Yubico Sale and License Agreement or other written purchase agreement separately agreed upon by the parties (“Purchase Agreement”) and not this Professional Services Agreement.

    1.2 Performance of Services. Subject to Customer’s payment of the applicable fees (which may include Professional Services fees, if purchased pursuant to an Order Form), Yubico will perform the Professional Services specified in the Yubico sales order form (“Order Form”) or the YubiEnterprise Subscription Professional Services Redemption Form (“Redemption Form”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Professional Services Agreement and in accordance with any Statement of Work agreed upon between the parties.

    1.3 Designated Contacts. Each party will designate one or more individuals who will serve as the point(s) of contact between the parties for all matters relating to Professional Services to be performed thereunder. A party may designate new contacts by written notice to the other party.

    1.4 Relationship of the Parties. Yubico is performing Professional Services as an independent contractor and nothing in this Professional Services Agreement will be construed as establishing an employment, agency, partnership or joint venture relationship between Customer and Yubico or any Yubico personnel.

    1.5 Professional Services Hours. 

    (a)General. If an Order Form or Redemption Form includes a Professional Services Hours Bundle or a Professional Services engagement that includes Professional Services hours, usage of such hours shall be deducted in 15-minute increments. Any remote live hours must be scheduled in advance with Yubico. Customer may purchase additional hours after the allotted hours have been utilized. Professional Services hours may be utilized by Customer to have Professional Services review, analyze and consult on Customer’s technical implementation/integration or operational deployment issues and existing materials; they cannot be utilized however to have Professional Services create new documentation or materials. Any material or documentation development requires a separate Professional Services engagement. 

    (b)Effective Date and Expiration of Hours. The Professional Services hours start date shall be the Effective Date (as defined below) of the Order Form. Customer must use all Professional Services hours within a 12-month period from the Effective Date; there is no roll-over of hours and any remaining hours at the end date of the time period shall expire. For clarity purposes, “Effective Date” shall be the date as specified on the Order Form and/or Statement of Work and if no date is specified, the date of the last signature date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Professional Services hours is redeemed via VIK Funds (as set forth in Section 1.10 (Professional Services) of the YubiEnterprise Subscription License Agreement), then the Effective Date uses the 12-month period that begins using the date of the Subscription Service transaction.

    1.6 Professional Services Engagements. If an Order Form includes any Professional Services engagement (which excludes Professional Services Hours), Customer must schedule the engaged services such that the completion of such engaged services will be within six months of the Effective Date of the Order Form, otherwise Yubico is under no obligation to provide the engaged services for Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Professional Services engagement (excluding Professional Services Hours) is redeemed via VIK Funds (as set forth in Section 1.10 (Professional Services) of the YubiEnterprise Subscription License Agreement), then the Effective Date uses the 6-month period that begins using the date of the Subscription Service transaction.
