The SaaS Services will be hosted and maintained by SSG or its designated third-party supplier or data center. Client is solely responsible for <br />obtaining and maintaining, at its own expense, all equipment needed to access the SaaS Services, including but not limited to Internet access, adequate <br />bandwidth and encryption technology. <br />3.3 Changes. Access is limited to the version of the SaaS Services in SSG’s production environment. SSG regularly updates the SaaS Services and <br />reserves the right to discontinue, add and/or substitute functionally equivalent features in the event of product unavailability, end-of-life, or changes to <br />software requirements. SSG will notify Client of any material change to or discontinuance of the SaaS Services. <br />3.4 Security; Back-Ups. Without limiting Client’s obligations under Section 4.4, SSG will implement reasonable and appropriate measures designed <br />to secure Client Data against accidental or unlawful loss, access or disclosure. SSG will perform back-ups in accordance with SSG’s back-up daily schedule. <br />Client Data is automatically encrypted while at rest within the SSG database and in transit. SSG will use industry-standard cipher key, intrusion detection <br />system (IDS), virus scanning, automated system checks, and remote logging to guard against unauthorized access. SSG utilizes data centers that are <br />staffed 24x7 by trained security guards, and access must be strictly authorized. The cloud infrastructure has been designed and managed to adhere to ISO <br />27001:2013 for Penelope products and SOC2 standards and procedures for Apricot and ETO products. <br /> <br />3.5 Service Availability.
