Provided via a dedicated set of servers specific to Customer.

Use of the TestFairy Private Cloud may require the installation of the TestFairy software development kit (the “SDK”) within Customer’s mobile application (the “Application”). The SDK allows Customer to record video streams or other end user activity within the Application and can be configured by Customer to collect log data, device information, and feedback submitted by an end user (together, the “Incident Data”) to assist with bug and crash identification, analysis, and correction. The Incident Data is collected solely for Customer’s use and is not utilized by Sauce Labs for any other purpose. If such data will include Personal Data relating to data subjects resident in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, Sauce Labs will enter into standard contractual clauses for controller-to-processor data transfers upon request.

The TestFairy service is intended to be used to distribute Customer’s Application to end users in a testing capacity only and should not be utilized to distribute Customer’s Application to end users who are not engaged by Customer as testers of the Application.

When Customer’s Application contains the SDK, Customer is required to notify end users, in compliance with applicable law, regarding Customer’s data collection practices and Sauce Labs’ role, via the TestFairy SDK, as a subprocessor with respect to such data.  Customer is solely responsible for ensuring that such notification, and Customer’s use of the SDK, complies at all times with Customer’s privacy policy and all applicable laws of the jurisdictions within which Customer operates.  

Sauce Labs makes tools available to allow Customer to mask any personal data or other sensitive information that may be captured using the SDK.  Customer is solely responsible for utilizing these masking tools and Sauce Labs shall have no liability to Customer or any end-user as a result of Customer’s failure to implement or maintain these tools.  

If Customer elects to distribute an Application containing the SDK via any public distribution platform, such as the Apple App Store, Google Play, or similar third-party platform (a "Third Party Distribution Platform"), Customer is solely responsible and liable for continued compliance with such Third Party Distribution Platform's guidelines and requirements.

The licensing provisions set forth in Customer’s agreement with Sauce Labs are hereby amended as necessary to include the right for Customer to sub-license the SDK for the limited purpose of distributing Customer's Application via a Third Party Distribution Platform.

Credit-Based Plan

Advance purchase of credits (the “Credits”), on a set schedule, which can be utilized to consume various Sauce Labs Services.

Credits allow use of various units of compute power within the Services provided on the Sauce Labs platform.

As a subscriber to a Credit-Based plan from Sauce Labs, Customer is automatically purchasing Credits on a set schedule, as described in Customer’s specific plan. Each Service utilized via the application of Credits is also subject to and governed by the Service-Specific Terms applicable to such Service. 

The cost per Credit (Credits per dollar) and the value per Credit (units of compute power per Credit) are both subject to change from time to time. Current rates for each will always be available on the Sauce Labs website. Without available Credits in their account, Customer will be unable to use the Services available through their Credit-Based Plan.

Credits expire on a fixed schedule. Monthly Credits typically expire after 31 days plus a small grace period. Annual Credits typically expire after 366 days plus a small grace period. Unused Credits at the time of expiration will not rollover and will automatically be removed from Customer’s account.

If Customer uses more than 95% of their available Credits prior to their next renewal and billing date, Customer’s account will automatically be “topped up” with additional Credits using the payment method on file. The amount of Credits an account is topped up with is subject to change, but will be based on the size of Customer’s current Credit Based Plan in dollars. These top up Credits will behave the same as all other Credits, but their expiration date will be 31 days plus a small grace period from the date of top up. A mid-cycle Credit top up does not affect the timing of future renewal and subscription billing dates.

Credits (including “top up” Credits) are non-refundable. Unused Credits expire if Customer’s Credit Based Plan subscription is terminated or canceled for any reason.  Credits do not have any currency value and do not earn interest.

Customer’s subscription will remain active and will automatically renew on a fixed schedule until canceled.  Cancellation must be implemented in Customer’s account page on the Sauce Labs website, and will be effective at the end of Customer’s then current subscription term.
