The tax may be reported and paid on your individual income tax return or by filing a consumer use tax return. For more information, please visit your state's department of revenue website.
Fluke Networks Collects Sales Tax in states where we have physical presence (or nexus), including Colorado.

Fluke Networks, in its sole discretion, has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service, or any other Fluke Networks service, for any reason at any time. Such termination of the Service will result in the suspension or deletion of your Account or your access to your Account. Fluke Networks reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time. Fluke Networks will return any unused pre-payments in cases where paid account termination was not caused by violation of this Agreement.

Service Level Commitment

Fluke Networks is committed to providing our customers with a great experience with our products and services. Fluke Networks subscription services are provided using the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model. In this model, the software you use to measure performance or extend tool capabilities is often comprised of two components: The Fluke Networks Probe, which is a small software module or hardware probe that is deployed on your sites or the Fluke Networks Tool that you use to perform network analyses; and the Service which is a set of software programs that collect, store, correlate and present the metric data sent from the Probe or Tool in your application to the Service. We endeavor to make the Service available at all times with the exception of maintenance windows that occur periodically throughout the month.

Fluke Networks may suspend Your access to and use of the System (or any portion thereof) in connection with (i) any unanticipated or unscheduled outages, system failures or other interruption, (ii) scheduled maintenance of or modifications to the System, (iii) a denial of service attack or other attack on the System, or other event which Fluke Networks determines, in its sole discretion, may create a risk to the System, to You or any other Fluke Networks customer if access to the System was not suspended, and (iv) Fluke Networks’s compliance with Laws (each, an “Outage”). In no event shall Fluke Networks be liable for any damage, liability or loss of any kind incurred by You in connection with an Outage. Fluke Networks will use commercially reasonable efforts to update You with respect to the resumption of Your access to the System in the event of an Outage by posting updates on its website.

Confidentiality

From time to time Fluke Networks may share Confidential Information (as defined below) with you. You agree that you will not use or disclose to any third party any Confidential Information of Fluke Networks except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or as authorized by written consent. You will use the same level of care to safeguard such Confidential Information that you use to protect your own information of a similar nature, but in no event will you use less than a reasonable degree of care to protect Fluke Networks’ Confidential Information. Nothing herein shall prevent you from disclosing Confidential Information to your parent and/or subsidiary companies. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, you shall, as directed by Fluke Networks, return or destroy all Confidential Information on all media and retain no copies.

“Confidential Information” means non-public information of Fluke Networks and includes (but is not limited to) business methods, business plans, concepts, test results (including the results of any evaluation of the Service), technical, financial, commercial or other proprietary information, pricing, or information or data that is confidential and proprietary to a third party and is in the possession or control of Fluke Networks. Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) is in the public domain and generally available to the general public without any restriction or license, but specifically excluding personally identifiable information; or (b) becomes publicly available through no act or omission of you; (c) is disclosed to a third party by the owning party without restrictions on disclosure; (d) is rightfully acquired by you from sources without restriction and without breaching this Agreement; (e) is independently developed by you without reference to the Confidential Information; or (f) is required to be disclosed by any authority having jurisdiction so long as Fluke Networks is provided advance notice of such disclosure by you.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, You may grant access to the Service to a third party contractor, provided that You maintain agreements with such third party contractor that adequately protect the confidentiality and intellectual property rights of Fluke Networks in the Service, and disclaim any liability or responsibility of Fluke Networks or its suppliers with respect to such third parties.
