Network Shield: a Firewall module designed to control and block access to content and applications directly on Azion’s globally distributed infrastructure. Access control and blocking can be based on IP address or network (CIDR), geolocation (country of access), and ASN. Azion uses databases from external suppliers to identify geolocation and ASN based on the user’s IP address, which may be inaccurate in some situations, and the Customer is responsible for the use of this access restriction functionality. AZION PROVIDES ACCESS CONTROL MECHANISMS ON A BEST-EFFORT BASIS, BUT THEY DO NOT CONSTITUTE ABSOLUTE RESTRICTIONS AGAINST UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS. THE CUSTOMER MUST RESTRICT ACCESS BY IP ADDRESS TO OBTAIN THE BEST LEVEL OF CONTROL, AND AZION RECOMMENDS THE COMBINATION OF MULTIPLE TECHNIQUES. Except as otherwise provided in the Customer Agreement or any other documents attached thereto, Network Shield is included with Firewall and is not billed as a separate Product or Service.
Object Storage: designed as an efficient, secure, and scalable object storage service, organized into buckets that can be either public or private. Each object consists of a unique identifier, its data, and metadata. It includes essential capabilities such as writing and accessing buckets and objects via REST API, S3-compatible API, or through the UI in Console. The distribution of objects stored in Object Storage to end users should be performed through an application using Connectors, which act as the mechanism responsible for routing, delivering, or transforming requests between the application and the Customer’s end users or systems. The use of an application and its associated Connector may generate billing based on the corresponding metrics. Direct access to objects stored in Object Storage, without going through an application, will be subject to rate limits. By using the storage services offered by Azion, the Customer acknowledges and agrees that it is fully responsible for the content it chooses to upload, store, or share through Azion’s platform. This includes assuming all risks related to the ownership, legality, and proper use of such materials, ensuring that it has all necessary rights, licenses, consents, and permissions for such use. Additionally, the Customer understands that Azion assumes no responsibility for the content stored in its systems, being exempt from any claim related to copyright infringement, trademark infringement, or any other intellectual property right of third parties, as well as any legal liability arising from the content provided by the Customer. It is the Customer’s duty to ensure that its content complies with all applicable laws and regulations. Azion will make all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the availability and durability of the Customer’s objects stored in Azion’s infrastructure, but there are no guarantees against data loss. While Azion provides the platform and tools necessary for storage, protecting against data loss is the Customer’s responsibility, and the Customer must take proactive measures to ensure the security of its critical data, such as backups and/or snapshots. Except as otherwise provided in the Customer Agreement or any other documents attached thereto, Object Storage will be billed based on: (a) Storage; (b) Class A Operations; (c) Class B Operations; and (d) Class C Operations, according to the volumes consumed.

Azion will make all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the availability and durability of Customer data stored in Azion’s infrastructure. However, there are no guarantees against data loss or corruption. While Azion provides the platform and necessary tools for storage, protecting against data loss is ultimately the responsibility of the Customer. Customers must take proactive measures to secure their critical data, such as configuring backups and/or snapshots of their databases. Databases that remain inactive for more than 10 (ten) days may have their replicas removed from Azion’s globally distributed infrastructure. Except as otherwise provided in the Customer Agreement or any other documents attached thereto, SQL Database will be billed based on (a) Storage, (b) Rows Read, and (c) Rows Written, according to the volumes consumed.
Web Application Firewall (WAF): a Firewall module designed to protect websites, web applications, and APIs, including features such as: (1) control for mitigating threats such as SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting, RFI, and others; (2) creation of configurable rule sets to select the desired protection mechanisms and rule sensitivity; (3) creation of whitelists customized according to the application’s behavior; (4) Counting Mode option to analyze threats without actually blocking them; and (5) real-time charts containing information about threats detected and attacks blocked. We recommend enabling the Counting Mode feature assisted by Azion’s Integration Services in the phase of learning the application’s behavior to improve service efficiency and reduce the risk of identifying false positives and blocking legitimate requests. Nevertheless, please be advised that legitimate application requests may be blocked if they coincide with any of the WAF security rules. AZION IS CONSTANTLY SEEKING TO UPGRADE ITS SECURITY MECHANISMS TO MAKE ITS PROTECTION SYSTEMS MORE EFFECTIVE AND REDUCE THE RISK OF IMPACTS TO CUSTOMER APPLICATIONS. AZION MAY USE SECURITY TEST TOOLS (PENTEST) ON CUSTOMER APPLICATIONS IN ORDER TO IMPROVE SUCH SECURITY MECHANISMS. HOWEVER, THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES THAT THE WAF SERVICE WILL BE ABLE TO PREVENT ALL POSSIBLE ATTACKS OR THREATS. CUSTOMERS SHOULD KEEP SECURITY PRACTICES AT THEIR ORIGINS AS WELL. CUSTOMERS ASSUME ALL RISKS OF SERVICE UNAVAILABILITY DUE TO MISCONFIGURED RULES IN THE SERVICE. Except as otherwise provided in the Customer Agreement or any other documents attached thereto, WAF will be billed based on: (a) Requests; (b) Rule Sets; and (c) Exceptions, according to the volumes consumed.

1.3 Product Release Stages
The release of new Products or features by Azion may be subject to the following stages:
Experimental: limited, by invitation from Azion, to a closed group of Customers, whose participation implies confidentiality on the part of the Customer. It is a stage prior to Preview for the purpose of testing new Products or features that are still under development. These features or Products may be unstable and undergo changes incompatible with previous versions. There is no SLA during this stage, due to it being a test with limited resource availability. Azion’s goal at this stage is to validate functionality and collect feedback from a limited set of Customers or collaborators.

This stage has a variable duration, depending on the development time of each feature or Product.
Preview: during the Preview stage, Products or features are ready for broader testing and use by Customers. This stage is often publicly announced by Azion. There are no SLAs during Preview unless otherwise specified in the terms of a particular release. This stage can last up to six (6) months, depending on the specific characteristics and specifications of each launch. Generally, the Preview stage enables use in test and production environments, and the Customer may be charged for use of the Product.
General Availability: Products and features in General Availability are open to all Customers, covered by Azion’s SLAs when applicable, and are ready for use in production environments, according to these Terms of Service.
Deprecated: Products and features that are Deprecated are scheduled to be terminated and removed (End-of-Life, EOL). All Customers must be notified according to the rules of the Customer Agreement. There is no SLA for Deprecated Products and features, nor is there a commitment to fix bugs or evolve the features of these Products.

Azion Plans: a contracting model through which Customers are enrolled in an Azion Plan that defines the applicable subscription, included usage limits and features, and billing conditions for the use of Azion Products and Services. All Customers must be enrolled in an Azion Plan to use Azion Products and Services. The amounts payable by the Customer and any applicable commitment are defined by the applicable Plan available at https://www.azion.com/en/pricing/ and are subject to the Azion Plans Terms and Conditions.
On-Demand: a contracting model through which Customers pay according to their use of Azion Products and Services, without a usage or spend commitment. The amount payable by the Customer for each Product or Service used corresponds to the volume calculated by Azion for the applicable Billing Metrics during the billing cycle, multiplied by the applicable On-Demand pricing available at https://www.azion.com/en/documentation/fundamentals/pricing/. When consumption tiers apply, the price of each tier applies only to the volume consumed within the respective tier, generating a progressive discount as the Customer’s consumption increases. Under the On-Demand contracting model, Azion reserves the right to remove the Customer’s account, content, and other Customer data after twelve (12) months of inactivity by the Customer.
Reserved Capacity: a contracting model available through a Service Order for Customers enrolled in the Enterprise Plan, under which the Customer agrees to a usage commitment and receives applicable discounts over On-Demand pricing for the Products and Services specified in the Service Order. The amounts payable by the Customer and the applicable commitment are defined in the Service Order and any applicable related documents.
Savings Plan: a contracting model available through a Service Order for Customers enrolled in the Enterprise Plan, under which the Customer agrees to a spend commitment and receives applicable discounts over On-Demand pricing for the Eligible Products specified in the Service Order. The amounts payable by the Customer and the applicable commitment are defined in the Service Order and any applicable related documents.
