Professional & Managed Services Terms
Last Updated December 2025
APPLICABILITY AND ACCEPTANCE
These Professional and Managed Services Terms (these "Service Terms") are incorporated by reference into the Arrow Networks Standard Terms and Conditions available at www.arrownetworks.com/tos (the "Standard Terms"). These Service Terms govern the provision of professional services, managed services, and related consulting, implementation, and support services by Arrow Networks, Inc. ("Arrow") to its customers ("Customer").
Acceptance. Customer accepts and agrees to be bound by these Service Terms when Customer: (a) executes a Master Service Agreement ("MSA") that references these Service Terms; (b) executes a Service Order Addendum ("SOA"), proposal, quote, or other ordering document that references these Service Terms or the Standard Terms; or (c) uses or receives any Services governed by these Service Terms.
Order of Precedence. In the event of any conflict between documents, the following order of precedence applies (highest to lowest): (1) the applicable SOA; (2) the MSA; (3) these Service Terms; (4) the Standard Terms; (5) any applicable Service Level Agreement; and (6) other policies and exhibits referenced herein. This hierarchy ensures that service-specific terms in an SOA take precedence over general terms.
Modifications. Arrow may update these Service Terms by posting a revised version at www.arrownetworks.com/legal. Material changes will be identified by updating the version number and "Last Updated" date above. For SOAs in effect at the time of any material adverse change, such changes will not apply to the affected SOA until its renewal date unless Customer consents to earlier application. Continued use of Services after non-material updates constitutes acceptance.
