C. Service-specific Terms

Citrix Web App and API Protection:

  1. Data Access and Rights. Operation and performance of the Service involves repeated filtering of traffic to each of Customer’s endpoints, and Customer must redirect traffic for the endpoint to the Service and provide access to the endpoints. While using the Service, Customer grants Citrix (including its Affiliates and subcontractors) a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to access Customer’s identified endpoints, the internet traffic flowing thereto, any applications contained therein solely for the purpose of performing the Services. Customer make revoke this license by deactivating the Service. Customer represents and warrants that it has all rights necessary to grant Citrix the access and licenses set forth in this paragraph and for Citrix to perform the Service.
  2. Throughput Capacity Limits. Throughput capacity limits are enforced based on the 95th percentile peak Mbps of legitimate, non-malicious (“clean”) traffic processed by the Service in a month (“Clean Traffic Peak”). The Clean Traffic Peak is calculated by periodically measuring clean bandwidth utilization. At the end of each month, the traffic measurements are combined and the top 5% are discarded. The next highest measurement for the inbound or outbound traffic is considered the 95th percentile Clean Traffic Peak. In the event of a DDoS incident, attack traffic may be mitigated as far “upstream” as possible (including internet network provider ACLs). In such event, Customer’s Clean Traffic Peak will not be affected by the volume of the attack traffic.
  3. On-demand DDoS protection service components. As part of the Citrix Web App and API Protection suite of offerings, Citrix offers on-demand DDoS protection services. On-demand DDoS protection services can be configured for either BGP or DNS redirection service options. Customers may redirect traffic to the DDoS protection platform when under attack or imminent threat of attack based on their configuration of on-demand mitigation triggers. Customer traffic is routed off the platform after the attack ends. Mitigation Incidents that permit Customer to direct traffic to the platform shall be configured during provisioning. Customer shall be responsible for the direction of all internet traffic for an endpoint for performance of the Services and redirection from the platform once a Mitigation Incident has ceased. Customer’s failure to redirect traffic for an endpoint away from the platform once a Mitigation Incident has ceased shall cause the Customer to incur additional Mitigation Incident fees and, if applicable, Clean Traffic overage fees. Non-Attack Incidents may incur additional charges for on-demand offerings. “Mitigation incident” means an event wherein Customer has directed internet-based traffic for an endpoint to the DDoS protection platform. “Non-Attack Incident” shall mean a Mitigation Incident in which there has been no attack traffic for on-demand BGP deployments.
  4. SSL Certificates. The Service includes Layer 4 rate limiting protection for HTTPS traffic. The Service requires the Customer to provide Citrix with an SSL certificate to be loaded into the Service for access to the traffic which shall be subject to HTTPS packet inspection. Customer warrants that its provision of the SSL certificate and Citrix’s use thereof does not violate any laws, security policies, or regulations or infringe the proprietary or privacy rights of any third party.
  5. Abuse. In the event that, in Citrix’s reasonable determination, Customer is using the Service in a manner that critically impacts, or threatens to impact critically, the networks, systems, or Services of Citrix or any third party, Citrix may suspend provision of the Service, as applicable, immediately and without prior notice.
