The Subscription Services can be subject to the storage you acquired as described in the Agreement, such storage which you may upgrade upon payment of additional fees at Kofax’s then current pricing.

(b) Subscription Services Platform. Kofax will provide the Subscription Services through Kofax’s computer software and datacenter facilities (the “Subscription Services Platform”), which Kofax will manage and maintain. Any web endpoints on the Subscription Services Platform requiring a certificate will be set up with a Kofax provided DNS name and third party SSL certificate. You may not provide your own internal or external CA-generated certificates. The Subscription Services Platform may be operated by Kofax or by one or more third parties under agreements with Kofax.

(c) Subscription Services Support. Kofax will provide you support for the Subscription Services at the level of Subscription Services Support purchased as provided in the Agreement, and you consent to Kofax’s application of all upgrades, enhancements and new releases to the Subscription Services Platform.
